Would you trade having children, for an indefinite lifespan (with NO aging?)?

I was reading some interesting stuff on research into the aging
process. Some of the more optimistic projections see major
rejuvenation and cessation of the aging process within 30
years. This is well within my potential lifespan (and almost certainly yours.)
Naturally, this could lead to a population nightmare. Unless, certain RULES were adhered to (like possibly not reproducing as the price you’d have to pay to get the anti-aging treatment(s).
Now, for me that’s an easy one. I never wanted to father kids, so I never did, and I’m quite sure I never will. Thanks to "prophylactics", it hasn’t cramped my style either (if you know what I mean..!)
So, I think I have a right to physically live as long as I’d like to! (Not FOREVER, mind you. Someday you’ve GOT to die! Forever is TOO LONG. But maybe 500 years or so would allow me to do and see everything I’d like.)
I’d definitely prefer this option, to the slow rotting process we call "natural aging" (which gives us NO choice.)
How about you?
I would like to stress, NOT FOREVER!
The thought of eternity gives me the
heebie-jeebies, and is one reason I
hope there is no metaphysical "afterlife."
All things must end, yes… even good things.
(That in itself, is a GOOD thing..!)

I’d rather have kids. Although there are many things in life and can give meaning, from what I’ve heard at least, there is no single greater joy than being able to bring up children.

Which vitamin/nutrition deficiencies cause brittle nails?

I understand that being deficient in certain vitamins / minerals / nutrients can result in dry, brittle fingernails. But specifically, which vitamins / minerals / nutrients cause this? My nails are very brittle so I want to ensure I’m getting everything I should be in my diet. I already know about supplements marketed as "nail/skin/hair vitamins" but I want to what component(s) of these is responsible for nurturing healthy nails.

calcium, preferably with vitamin D – it helps body to absorb calcium

My skin is so dry and I hate putting lotion on. Any body wash that will take care of my dry skin?

My skin is very dry and I hate wearing lotion and putting it on. Is there a body wash that will moisturize our skin enough so that I don’t have to wear lotion. I don’t like oily feeling left behind so none of those.

Try Lush’s Buffy the Backside Slayer. make sure you step out of the shower water when you use it or it will melt. Just a few swipes across your skin then rinse. It exfoliates and moisturizes, you will not need a moisturizer after using it. I use a moisturizer only on days when I do not use Buffy. It does leave you skin a bit tacky but not so that it is uncomfortable. You could also try Lush’s The Olive Branch body wash which has olive oil in it and is quite moisturizing.

Would you like to accept a energy drink which is rich in oxygen ?

well, this is a part of my project and so conducting a survey.Your reviews will be submitted as a hard copy.
Product name: Oxygen
Flavours: Apple, Orange, Cherry & Lemon
Oxygen is an important component of cellular metabolism and other biological processes that keep our bodies going. Oxygen provides the body with energy and makes sure our cells and organs stay in shape. In its concentrated form, oxygen is known to be an anti-aging treatment.

Are you serious?

You want to fill our bellies with air? Is this some kind of trick to get us to fart more?

Our body takes in oxygen through our lungs, not through our stomachs. Putting oxygen in food won’t work…

Anti aging nutrition. Does anyone know what it’s about?

I want to know how anti aging nutrition will help restore my skin. I am in my mid 30s and I noticed that wrinkles are beginning to appear around my eyes and chicks. A friend recommended anti aging nutrition so I was wondering if anyone knows how effective anti aging nutrition is in skin restoration. I will appreciate any suggestion.

lotion products or using vitammin c on the outside of the skin works well. stay away from botox there are lots of natural solutions! good luck

Oh where oh where can my foreskin be?

This is kind of gross so hold your breathe….

A product used in the beauty industry .."vavelta" is a skin repair and rejuvenation product to improve skin damaged by the aging process.

Vavelta contains "Human Dermal Fibroblasts". HDF’s are responsible for the production of collagen and when injected into the skin they are intended to produce collagen.

So… can you imagine what is used as the active component of Human Dermal Fibroblasts? Go on… think about the question I asked… and take a wild guess…. yup. No wonder it is so popular in America.
Talk about in your face.
The manufactuer’s web site says it is "Human"…. so what else do you think it is?

Good grief

They still charge for the "service" and no gain from the foreskin they take and sell.

When they provide a release to do circumcision they use terms like, "universally accepted", "medically sound" and "health benefit"

They downplay the risks completely and try to promote it as the "only" responsible choice.

Universally accepted? … The majority of men on the planet are natural. It was too uncomfortable for the Victorian ladies to clean their children and "arouse"them. So cutting the foreskin saved them any impropriety.

When to start using anti-wrinkle cream?

A girl friend and I were having a debate today on what age a woman should start investing in anti-wrinkle and other anti-aging treatments? (Creams, serums, etc.)

Obviously BEFORE signs of aging… but what do you all think? Thanks in advance!

To be completely honest with you…I don’t think anti-wrinkle creams work. At all. Usually they’re just something older women run to at the first sight of a wrinkle or crease. I don’t think they do much at all. They may temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles once you have them, but I don’t think they do much in preventing them. You’re much better off moisturizing (dry skin is the leading cause of wrinkles) and wearing sun screen EVERYDAY (the sun is the main cause of dry skin…as well as freckles and other spots). As for what age…I think the sooner you start, the better. I’m 18. I don’t use anti-wrinkle creams, because I have no wrinkles. But, I do wear sunscreen everyday and moisturize everyday. Had I known a few years ago what I know now, I would have started protecting my skin much earlier!

Why do leopard Geckos eat their shed skin?

Does it provide additional nutrition? What purpose does this serve? Serious answers only.

All lizards do this. They pull some of the skin off with their mouths and eating it is a convenient way to conserve energy.

Any good facial Advice?

I just turned 30 but people mistake me for 24. Which is great but this year ,after boating season, I noticed large brown blotches on my face. I have used sunscreen with zinc oxide for 10+ years.YES I know the obvious…stay out of the sun..but that is not gonna happen as I am a Californian who loves to wakeboard and snowboard. Who can tell me any good remedy to get rid of these brown blotches and any bonuses of skin rejuvenation?

make an appointment w your doctor or dermatologist and get his opinion…

in the meantime,
make sure when you wash your face, it is with COOL water. do NOT use hot or warm water. it should be cool. not cold… just cool.

the hot water aggravates the "break out" even worse!!

also, i would buy Cortisone Cream. They sell it over the counter in the supermarket. it’s usually a tube with red and white writing on it. put some on the areas where your skin is blotchy.

oh, also, by the way, the face wash i use that i swear by is Aveeno Foaming Facial Cleanser. It’s the Aveeno foam cleanser with the bright green top. It’s the only thing that i have found in the 30 years of my life that has "calmed" my skin down. It’s 6.99 or 7.99 … and it is soooo worth it.

just know that nothing will ever truly 100% eliminate a skin problem.. it will only lessen it and make it occur less frequently.

As far as rejuvenation….. i’m 30 as well and i have terrible black circles under my eyes and feel that i will be a wrinkly old woman by the time i’m 35!!! everything that i have read says that it can only prevent worse things happening GOING FORWARD>….. it can NOT reverse aging in your skin.
also, i’ve read that it is soooooo important to keep your skin hydrated. between drinking water all day and moisturizing your skin. get a good facial moisturizer.

good luck!
all the best
