With the passing of each day, our viscera (internal body organs) get stressed. But especially in the case of key part of the circulatory system, heart, scientists have developed the remarkable devices for the continuous beating of the heart. Among these devices defibrillator is the one, which have saved life of so many people since 1947. But unfortunately defective defibrillator leads to the death as five death cases have already been reported.

Defibrillation is the process used to treat the life-threatening heart arrhythmias and in ventricular tachycardia. In this procedure an electric dose is being given by the defibrillator to the affected heart. This electric pulse depolarizes the mass of the cardiac muscles, cease the arrhythmia and reestablish the normal rhythm of the natural pacemaker of body, in the sinoartrial node of the heart.

Defibrillator works well in the presence of other instruments. However, while working with heavy industrial or electrical machinery, it could be harmful. So there is a restriction that if you are implanted with defibrillator you have to make sure that the equipment which you are going to use is in excellent working condition. This caution is essential while using machinery especially that generate magnetic field.

The phenomena ‘whether smoking cause wrinkles’ is very old. After the vast research work, scientifically, it has been proven that smoking does cause skin wrinkles. It speeds up the natural aging process of skin that is why wrinkles start to appear at relatively younger age.

Smoking doesn’t cause acute effects on the skin but you can see a significant difference, after ten year between the skin of smokers and non smokers. Another adverse effect of smoking generated wrinkles, these are irreversible.

Smoking is the second most leading cause of wrinkles after sun exposure. It inhibits the take up of Vitamin A and C which are essential for skin protection. It occurs because the nicotine of cigarettes promotes dehydration.

Nicotine limits the blood supply to the outermost layer of the skin by narrowing it. This obstacle creates the deficiency of oxygen and outer essential nutrients such as Vitamin A. It also harms collagen and elastin fibers of skin which gives the elasticity to the skin.

Heat generated from cigarette burning cause skin irritation around the eyes and put more strains on the eyes of the smoker. This strain increases the wrinkles on face especially around the eyes. Smokers also develop hollow cheeks with the extensive smoking.

The affects of smoking on skin make doctors to believe that there is a relation between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and wrinkles in mouth. If you have spent fifteen to twenty years with smoking you may feel that in your late 30’s your skin resemble to the nonsmoker who is in 50’s.

Remember! No cream or treatment have developed, till-to-date that can remove wrinkle caused by cigarette smoking, but the situation may get better is you quit smoking. If you are not going to quit and trying to get smoother skin through, you are just wasting your time and money as no cream, moisturizer or even surgical procedure can restore your smooth skin.

If you left your habit, it also has some additional benefits such as it improve the both quality and quantity of life and also prevent the risk of lung diseases and heart related issues, cancer etc.

After quitting smoking, you should concentrate on a healthy diet and regular physical workout. This intervention will make the blood circulation fast and will replenish the skin with more nutrition and oxygen. You should also limit the use of alcohol as it dehydrates skin too. Add a good supplement of Vitamin A and C as key ingredient to your diet as this will fill up the deficiency of elastin and collagen fiber. and avoid drinking alcohol or caffeine as this also dehydrates the skin.

A team of British scientists announced this week that they had developed a purple tomato with health-promoting properties. A team from the John Innes Centre, Norwich, produced the tomatoes by integrating genes of snapdragon flower, which is high in an antioxidant anthocyanin thought to have anti-cancer properties.

Anthocyanins, found in particularly high levels in berries such as blackberry, cranberry and chokeberry, have been proven to help significantly slow the growth of colon cancer cells. They are also believed to protect against heart and age-related degenerative diseases, boost eyesight, and may help ward off obesity and diabetes.

The John Innes team is discovering ways to enhance the levels of health-promoting substances in common fruits and vegetables. Tomatoes already contain high levels of beneficial antioxidant compounds, such as lycopene and flavonoids.
