Self-Care for Dummies

It is, quite frankly, impossible to use the internet in the twenty-first century without hearing much more than you want to about Self-Care. Most often, it is some sort of internet influencer telling you how important it is to take care of yourself, while plugging their sponsored products. However, and many of these people may be remiss to see someone say this, self-care doesn’t require a lot of money in the bank. Indeed, just a few simple lifestyle changes can be all you need to give you a new lease on life. With the world as chaotic as it is right now, it is vital to our mental (and, by extension, physical) health to practice self-care. Below, we’ve given you a rundown on what self-care is, and how it is surprisingly important to your overall well being.

What is Self-Care? 

Put simply, self-care is being good to yourself and doing things that are good for you so that you feel better. Oftentimes, people do not have enough time in the day to consistently make the best choices possible. Other times, stress can get the better of them. It’s at these moments that it is important to take a step back, focus on our wellbeing, and make sure that we are taking care of ourselves. Self-care is not just about doing the things that you enjoy, it’s about doing the right thing. This means avoiding thighs that are unhealthy, including drugs, alcohol, or even toxic people– it’s caring for yourself like you would a friend in need.

Self-Care and Mental Health

If you feel like you’re far too stressed out, like the entire weight of the world is on your shoulders and you are unsure of how to live with the burden, can’t focus, and are starting to feel depressed, then it is likely that you are suffering from something known as mental exhaustion. So, how do you get a clearer head? Many people find that exercising is very good for this, as it brings endorphins into the brain and gets the heart pumping. For those who already exercise, but have similar problems with stress and mental focus, another option is meditation. Take 30 minutes each day to sit in a quiet room, close your eyes, and just focus on your thoughts while taking deep breaths. Meditation has been in use for thousands of years as a way to relieve some of the mental burdens that weigh us down.

Another thing that you can do is to take a break from social media or the internet. These days, people are bombarded with a constant barrage of information, whether it is advertisements, social media updates, news reports or app notifications. There’s way too much information out there, and our brains can’t handle it constantly. Reading a book before going to sleep is a great way to decompress– we all love TV, but books can stimulate our brain while allowing us to take it easy. If you are feeling overwhelmed, give your brain a noise from the constant noise and stimulus– mental health is important, and not something that should be taken for granted.

Self-Care and Physical Health

Taking care of your body is one of the cornerstones of self-care. If you are in good shape physically, and regularly exercise, it is very likely that your mind and spirit will be in as good a shape as your body. Living clean and caring for your physical health means cutting out fast food and junk foods, which are high in salt and sugar. These highly-processed products can mess with the brain, increase blood pressure, which can make you feel more anxious and stressed, and this is not even to mention the long-term effects hypertension can have on the health of your heart. When we are stressed, we gravitate towards the comfort foods that make us feel comfortable in the short term, those highly-processed, fatty foods  that can wreak havoc on our bodies in the long term. After all, there was no such thing as a bag of chips in the Paleolithic era, and in terms of the processes of evolution the human body has not progressed far from cavemen. Put simply, humans were never meant to eat potato chips and hamburgers– that doesn’t mean you can’t of course, but it means that you should eat these foods in moderation.

It is important to eat healthy foods such as vegetables, nuts, fruits, whole grains, and lean meats.  For the body, self-care also means exercise. You need to work out at least 45 minutes a day, 3-4 times a week. This will trigger the endorphins in your body, which help you to feel good and relax. Exercise is a great stress reliever, and it doesn’t need to be exclusively dumbbells, barbells, or other machines for heavy lifting. If you miss the gym days, however, I recommend combining IV drips with your routines to enhance both your performance and recovery.

Going for a walk outside among nature can also help with your mental health. You can also practice yoga, which emphasizes a balance between the three parts that exist within humans– the mind, the spirit, and the body. There are many great fitness routines and activities that you can choose from to help give your body the care that it needs.

Self-Care for the Soul 

Emotional health is important as well. We often take for granted the emotions that we feel and, even more often, are unable to express them in ways that are healthy for us. Journaling is a good way to get in touch with what you are feeling. Expressing your thoughts and feelings on paper can give you some perspective on the situation, and help untangle what might feel like an impregnable wall of thoughts. Painting or drawing can also be a good release for your emotions, so is listening to music or, if you play an instrument, playing it yourself.

Reaching out to friends and family just to talk can also release some of the feeling you may have bottled up after weeks or months of not properly expressing them. If things are bad, you can also find a good therapist to assist you in talking about your problems. They can give you some strategies to change your thinking and feel better– whatever you decide, make sure not to bottle up your feelings, because eventually they will spill out. And this hardly ever ends well.

Other Self-Care Tips 

Besides what we’ve mentioned above, we’ve created another blog post that contains more medically-oriented health tips for making sure that your body is operating properly. One important thing that you should do is to make sure that you are getting plenty of rest. A good night’s sleep is crucial, and most people require anywhere from 6-8 hours of sleep a night, but it varies from person to person, and some people might need more. Also, make sure that you are taking care of your hygiene as well. A long shower or bath could be just what you need to melt the stress of the day’s work away and leave you feeling refreshed and renewed. Make sure to avoid alcohol or drugs when dealing with stress, however– they will only make the problem worse. You can also drink herbal teas to help you relax and fortify your immune system, which has been found to be weaker when the body is stressed.

Really, you just need to remember to be good to yourself– treat yourself like a friend, and be kind. We are often our own worst enemies, and while this is mostly used in professional and social settings, it is also true when caring for yourself. After all, it is you who allows yourself to indulge in your worst impulses. Try to focus on your best impulses and taking care of yourself when you need it, and you’ll feel the difference.

Healthy Skin and You: How to Subtract Years from Your Face

Those people who are younger and have never had to face any of the effects of aging firsthand, often have a naive view of getting older– that they will age like fine wine. But in reality, the human body ages more like a fine milk. And this is because, well, we are alive! As the years take their toll, many people find that skin is one of the places that suffers the most as youthful vigor fades away into middle age. Having healthy skin takes a bit of work, and with the wide variety of anti-aging products, treatments, and nutrients that are available both over the counter and through clinical consultations, learning how to take care of your skin can seem like a bit of a daunting task. That’s why we’re here to help! All you need to do is keep a few basic things in mind, and you’ll be on the fast track to younger-looking, healthier skin.

Moisturized Skin is Happy Skin

This might be the simplest tip that there is, and is really the foundation for healthy skin: moisturizing! You must have heard it before, from any variety of sources, and if you haven’t– well, consider this your wakeup call. The skin is the largest organ in the human body, and it is one of the only outwardly-facing ones that there are– because of this, the skin is one of the organs that is most susceptible to damage, and you can think of moisturizer as a shield that can protect and preserve the quality of your skin.

The main use of moisturizers, in a medical sense, is to protect the skin from environmental exposure. This environmental exposure can be present in many ways, from the Sun’s UV rays, to hot showers, to exceedingly cold air– what do these things all have in common? They wear the skin down by causing it to dry out, causing cracks and wrinkles. When we apply moisturizer, it helps to hold water onto the surface of the skin, and draws water deeper into its layers. Hydrated skin looks younger, fuller, and often, more wrinkle-free, but there’s more! The right moisturizer will also serve to help the skin in repairing itself (this is often because it is fortified with certain vitamins), and can also stimulate blood circulation, which is another way to ensure that your skin looks healthy.

Next time you’re shopping for moisturizer, take a look at the ingredients on the back of the label before you apply them to your face. The best anti-aging moisturizers contain vitamins A, B5, C, or E, but it is also important to find a moisturizer that also includes SPF, especially if you live in sunnier climates.

Water, The Liver, & The Skin — A Skincare Cycle

In addition to hydrating the surface of your skin, it is important to hydrate the whole body! Staying hydrated is very important for healthy skin, and, by extension, so is the health of your liver. It is safe to say that having a healthy liver means that your skin will be similarly healthy.

Everything that we eat and drink, whether it is water or rice and beans, is processed in our livers. The liver is the greatest asset the body has to detox it, and it can at times be useful to consider it to be the garbage disposal of the body. After all the nutrients have been used, the liver disposes of the leftovers– and when the liver is dehydrated, it has been found to be significantly less effective in flushing out waste (lack of hydration impacting performance is a trend that can actually be seen all throughout the organs and systems of the human body). When the liver is not working at one-hundred percent, the body often decides to use different routes for detoxification, and one of the first ones is the skin. When the liver isn’t functioning well, people are more likely to experience skin irritation and blemishes like acne.

Stress and Cortisol Management

There’s a decent chance you didn’t expect stress to be on this list. It’s true that when I began researching this topic, I was a bit dubious about stress’ major impact on skin health, but there is no way to refute evidence– and keeping your stress in check has been found to be just as important as moisturizing.

It’s been found to be true that some people break out with rashes or acne when they are stressed. What’s more, people that have rosacea or eczema might find that their condition flares up when they are feeling stressed out. The reality is that there are a number of factors that contribute to this unfortunate correlation. Firstly, stress causes the body to release more cortisol (commonly known as the ‘stress hormone’), which makes the skin oily, clogs the pores, and causes breakouts. The next is that stress can also negatively affect the proteins in the skin, making it harder to retain water and elasticity. Dry skin that is not elastic has a higher chance of developing cracks or wrinkles, and– even worse, perhaps, stress has been found to interrupt a good night’s sleep, which leads to bags under the eyes and often a terrible feeling of sluggishness.

So, how can we reduce stress? That’s largely easier said than done, as many people certainly already know. There are, however, a few things that you can do that might help to wind you down:

  • Exercising
  • Practicing Self-Care
  • Enjoy Relaxing HObbies
  • Connect With Friends and Family
  • Meditate
  • Express your Feelings
  • Speak to A Therapist

Nutrition and the Skin

People often say that you are what you eat, but that is not entirely accurate. It’s probably a bit more accurate to simply say that you are as healthy as the food that you put into your body– this means that if all you are putting into your body is over-processed food with little to no real nutritional value, your skin (and energy, and immune system, and digestive system– everything,really), is going to take a major hit.

One of the most important things that you need to consider specifically for skin health is the presence of antioxidants in food that you eat. Antioxidants help fight off the damage that is caused by free radicals that harm the skin cells, making them one of the most powerful anti-aging tools available. Vitamin C, E, and A are rich in antioxidants and are found in food like strawberries, oranges, nuts, spinach, broccoli, fish, and dairy products. When possible, try to go organic, and we also recommend including a nutrient-rich vitamin IV drip into your routine– it is one of the least invasive ways to ensure that your body has an overabundance of the building blocks it needs to function well.

Similarly, bad nutrition leads to bad skin. Refined carbs like white bread, pastries, candy, and corn syrup, cause glycation, a major factor in premature aging.

The Importance of Humidity

We talked plenty about moisturizers, but there is another important tool that you can use to keep your skin hydrated and healthy, especially if you live in colder climates. It is known as a humidifier– when most people think of one, they get the association with being sick, and this is for good reason. After all, humidifiers are one of the most tried and true methods for reducing sinus inflammation, but they also have a positive effect on the skin.

Dry air strips the skin of oils and makes it easier for our faces to get irritated. Putting a humidifier in the areas of your home that you use the most is a simple, but effective, way of keeping your skin looking happy and healthy.

In Conclusion

When we treat ourselves well, our body rewards us with younger, healthier-looking skin. Looking for more ways to rejuvenate your skin? Check out our facial care services to give yourself a youthful glow.

How to Check-In on Your Health

Many people say that health is wealth– and this is because, really, many people do not know how important and crucial their health is until a certain part of their body is suffering– at which point they realize that they took their health for granted. However, just like checking your bank statements to verify where your money is being spent, there are several easy ways that you can keep an eye on your health yourself. If you are really concerned, and there might be something seriously wrong with you, a visit to a hospital or clinic might be necessary, but otherwise, there are a few things that you can do right at home if all you need is a simple check. In fact, you’d be surprised at just what you can find out about yourself with just a few simple tests.
Check Your Temperature
One of the easiest ways to simply check on your general health is to take your own temperature. All you need is a digital thermometer, which can be found at nearly any pharmacy, and place it under your tongue for a few moments until it beeps to get a reading. From there, you have an accurate gauge at how ‘hard’ your body is working– the higher the body temperature, the more energy that the body is using.
This could be due to a variety of reasons, including illness or exercise, and the baseline temperature for the majority of people is around 98.6. Any temperature over or under that number (even by a few tenths of a degree) can be cause for concern. If you’d prefer not to put one in your mouth, they make thermometers for the ears, as well as digital forehead scanners– whatever method you’d prefer, it is important to try and invest in a good thermometer, so that you can get as accurate a reading as possible.

Blood Pressure 
If someone was to ask you what your blood pressure was today, would you be able to even give them a ballpark estimate? While many people do not know exactly what it is, even fewer recognize just how important this metric of bodily function is. High blood pressure, also medically known as hypertension, is one of the leading causes of heart disease– it can be caused from eating lots of salty foods, smoking, or drinking. Additionally, it can also depend on a variety of other internal factors including age, race, family history, and your amount of exercise.
A blood pressure that is too high can lead to many major health problems aside from heart disease. It can also cause heart attacks, strokes, heart failure, and can affect the health of the brain as well. A good investment to check blood pressure is a blood pressure cuff– they make electronic ones, which are a bit more expensive, and old-fashioned ones that you blow up yourself by squeezing. In any case, it is important to know that a healthy blood pressure reading is around 120/80– anything higher would be a cause for concern, and a reason to consult with a medical professional.

Checking Your Pulse 
Checking your pulse, or heart rate, is a simple test that doesn’t require any special equipment. In fact, it is something that people have been doing much the same way for centuries! It is very important to know your resting heart rate, as those with a higher average resting heart rate tend to be more at risk for heart disease than those with a lower heart rate (this is simply because the heart works more), and heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States of America.
So, how do you check your pulse? All you need to do is take your index and middle finger and place them on your neck by your Adam’s apple. Then, count your heartbeat for a full 60 seconds, and you’re done! Congratulations, you’ve successfully discovered your resting heart rate. The average pulse is somewhere between 70-100 beats per minute, or bpm. If it is lower than that, it means that you are in good shape, and if it is higher, it means you are not. It costs absolutely nothing to check your pulse and get a rough estimate of the health of your heart.

How can you check your own pulse?

Alternatively, as technology continues its relentless march forward, you can use your smartphone or smartwatch to get a quick read of your pulse. Certain devices, such as Galaxy phones and the iWatch come with a built-in heartbeat sensor that can also monitor stress levels.
How to Measure your Waist 
All you need for this is a tape measure, or to look at your pants size. The size of your waist is positively correlated with your weight. To measure it with a tape measure (as, depending on the fit of your pants, it may be the most accurate measure) all you need to do is take the end of the tape measure and bring it around your waist. Tighten it, and you should be able to measure the circumference of the waist. Healthy men are expected to have a waste smaller than 40 in, while women should have a waist lower than 35.
There is no problem with accepting your weight the way it is, but part of accepting it means accepting the fact that being overweight makes you more susceptible for a wide range of health risks.

this is a tape measure, check your waist

Check for Lumps
This is extremely important, and should be done regularly throughout your life. If you are a woman, you should be regularly checking your breasts for any lumps. This should be done in front of a mirror, as it can often provide a better view. To do this, all you need to do is work your way from the armpits to the nipple and check for any bruises, lumps, or discoloration– in short, anything that looks like it might not belong there. It can be done in as little as five minutes, but it is extremely important and one of the cornerstones to good health. If you find anything that is unusual, the earlier you catch it before it becomes a problem, the better. If you are a man, it is important to examine the testicles in a similar way. Feel around the sack and put a little pressure on the testes to feel for anything unusual. It may feel awkward, but it is far better to be safe than sorry with such a thing.

Check for Lumps with your hands

How Skin Plays into Health 
The sun is something that everyone experiences every single day– at least, we should hope so, but this is not always a good thing. It’s warm, comforting rays can actually make human beings more susceptible to skin cancer. It’s important to put sunscreen on, at least 50 SPF before leaving the house every day. If you want to check your skin at home, you can, but there’s a few simple things that you have to keep in mind. Stand Stand in front of a mirror and examine every part of your body. You might want to have someone there to help you in examining your back– you want to look for warning signs that are known as the “ABCDE” Signs.
A is for asymmetrical shape, B is for irregular borders, C is for abnormal color, D is for diameter, and E is for evolving. If a mole is larger than a pencil in diameter, has a weird color, is not an even circle, or changes appearance over time, you should head over to a dermatologist as soon as possible.
These are just a few of the things that you can do at home to check up on your health. It is important to check your health regularly so that you can catch any strange developments early on– Invest in some equipment like thermometers and blood pressure monitors– they don’t have to break the bank, but they do have to be accurate. This is one way that you can keep an eye on your health, to hopefully catch any problems you might have before it’s too late to do so.

ISSCA Announces Speaker’s List for 7th Annual Symposium

The International Society for Stem Cells Applications has officially announced and published its list of speakers for its 7th Annual Regenerative Medicine Symposium. The seventh event of its kind, it is another effort from the iSSCA to bring together a network of regenerative medicine practitioners from all over the world. At previous events, hundreds of physicians came to share in their knowledge regarding cellular therapies and the patients whose lives they can change, and the aim of this year is no different– of course, as a reunion of medical professionals, several steps will be taken to ensure proper social distancing measures, as well as frequent opportunities for sanitation. 

As with previous editions of the event, the topics discussed and speakers involved have been updated and edited in an effort to reflect the changing of time and the rapid evolution of the field of regenerative medicine. That is why this symposium will focus on Cellular Therapies During and After the Pandemic. Coronavirus has changed life as we know it, but the scientific and medical communities have not stopped researching. In fact, cellular therapies have been an invaluable asset in managing the largest pandemic in modern history, due to their implications in treating respiratory failure and managing some of the complications induced by exposure to COVID-19.  This has resulted in accelerated pathways for regulatory approval and increased funding for new regenerative medicine-based clinical trials, which will all be discussed in greater depth at the event. 

But the Regenerative Medicine Symposium also provides a valuable networking opportunity for physicians in the Latin American community. “Here, people interested in cellular therapy can find everything they need to get on the right path to helping people with regenerative medicine,” Said Benito Novas, VP of Public Relations, ISSCA, “If you’ve done some research yourself, or really have no idea where to start– this would be the place. We’ve got vendors, instructors, and interview panels with several distinguished researchers,”

Stem Cell Center Network in Lisbon Portugal

Stem Cell Portugal

The Stem Cell Center Network ( a Division of Global Stem Cells Group ) is an international network of regenerative medicine practitioners . Dedicated to promoting the research and development of the field of regenerative medicine, and strives to bring patients  cutting-edge  treatments that make use of the ever-growing list of benefits that regenerative medicine  carry. This week, in a part of their effort to expand their foothold in medical communities around the world, the Stem Cell Center Network has announced the opening of a new training facility in Lisbon, Portugal. 

Over the years, the Stem Cell Center Network has sought out to aggressively expand and roll out new membership opportunities, programs, events, and more– an effort that has been redoubled in the last five years. As a result, we have added members that practice regenerative medicine under our banner  in over twenty five countries spread across five continents. 

The new Portuguese center will be located in the clinic of Dr. Hugo Madeiras, a highly-accredited physician and scientist  who will preside over the facility as the Global Stem Cells Group chief representative in Portugal. As the CEO and founder of the Clinic of Advanced Implantology, he focuses exclusively on implantology, esthetics, and digital workflows, and collaborates with over twenty doctors and seventy resources in total. He is also the clinical collaborator for the Straumann Group, a faculty which includes product testing, lecturing, and the creation and delivery of educational content. 

Dr. Madeiras graduated from the Instituto Superior de Ciências da Saúde Egas Moniz in Medicine in 2007, and with a Master in Oral Rehabilitation from CESPU in 2009. With his over ten year of experience in the field, he acts as a speaker at several national and international congresses that go over developments and new treatment protocols in the field of dentistry. 

“This new center will help in bringing regenerative medicine to the people of Lisbon. It will treat patients with a wide variety of different diseases, but with a special emphasis on Aesthetic Medicine,” Said Benito Novas  CEO of the Global Stem Cells Group  about the new Stem Cell Center Network partnership, “This new facility will be at the top of the line, a place where Portuguese doctors can come to learn about regenerative medicine protocols, and the advancements that have been made in the field. I am incredibly excited to be working in partnership with Global Stem Cells Group , and look forward to many years as a program leader here in Portugal,” 

Stem Cell Center Network plans for the clinic to open in September 2020– and with that date looming closer and closer with each passing week, a date has also been agreed upon for the clinic’s inaugural training– indeed, it will be a place for doctors around the country to convene and learn, share, and research the complexities and applications of regenerative medicine. Barring any extenuating circumstances, the next first Regenerative Medicine Certification Training in the Portuguese clinic will take place on September 25 & 26th, 2020– just weeks after its formal opening. With only 10 spots available, applicants are encouraged to sign up soon for the hands-on training course.
