Chow Yun-Fat

Dr. Elaine Siegfried, a dermatology instructor at St. Louis University, says “Atopic dermatitis doesn’t kill you, it just ruins your life.” Patients suffering from severe eczema who seldom found relief in topicals and steroids were recently offered a promising new treatment: a biologic called Dupixent, which, in clinical trials, reduced eczema by 70% in a majority of patients tested. It is a highly effective alternative treatment for patients with moderate to severe eczema that works differently…

My usual food intake pattern is pretty regular for the most part, although it slightly fluctuates from time to time. My typical day starts out around 8a.m. with an 8-12oz cup of black coffee and some days I will add two tablespoons of French vanilla creamer. If I find myself still hungry after a cup of coffee, I will eat one cup of Special K cereal with about ¼ cup of 1% milk. I wouldn’t say I am much of a breakfast person, though I do enjoy it from time to time. Around 11:30 a.m. I find myself…

This type of eating pattern became controversial because of its aggressive approach to the society. It’s not your typical breakfast-lunch-snack-dinner, because you fast for 16 to…

Recently I have been going to Einstein Bros, in which generally I order a honey whole wheat bagel and a mixed berry smoothie. The honey whole wheat bagel has 260 calories, 3 grams of total fat, 49 grams of carbs, and 12 grams of protein. On the other hand, the mixed berry smoothie has 390 calories, 0.5 grams of fat, 97 grams of carbs, and 3 grams of protein. I believe that the honey whole wheat bagel is a form of complex carbs, due to the starch found in the bagel. However, the mixed berry…

such as carbohydrates(%in calories), dietary fiber, linoleic acid (g), α-linolenic acid (% calories), and α-Linolenic Acid (g) all fell below my daily intake.

But, regardless of the nutrient deficiency in certain areas; my mineral levels were varied. Minerals are substances found in food that your body needs for growth and health.…

reputation because of its high content in saturated fat. Yet, for thousands of years coconut has been a main part of the islanders' diet in the Tropics and still remains so today. Studies also show lower levels of heart disease and obesity among these populations as well. So why was coconut oil shunned for all of these years? In the 70's and 80's inaccurate studies were done that led to the conclusion that coconut oil was way too high in saturated fat and should be avoided. What their mistake…

Oil Saturated Fat; Five Reasons Why It Shouldn’t Have Been Unfairly Demonized It was just a generation ago when people believed that coconut oil should be blacklisted, because it was loaded with “heart-harming” saturated fats.

While coconut oil saturated fat was criticized by some biased yet highly influential scientists, new studies prove that we got it wrong back then. Saturated fat is not…

Avobath: This bath bomb was my least favorite of the 3. Even though the water did turn a pretty green color, my skin did not feel moisturized after using it. Also, the bath bomb did not fizz for long and the scent was barely noticeable even though in stores it had a strong scent. I feel the price is too expensive for this bath bomb, and I would not recommend purchasing it. $6.45 at Lush Rate: 5/10 Twilight: This bath bomb was my favorite of the 3 because it has a great lavender scent and…
