The Doctor is in. Tips to help stave off the H1N1 swine flu from Dr. Frank Lipman...

Summer is over and the question I am being asked most frequently in my practice is, “what do I do about Swine flu?” My patients are wondering whether or not they should get vaccinated and the simple answer I give most of the time is ..NO!

From what you may have read, you might think that the swine flu vaccine is the answer to swine flu. Unfortunately this is not true and until we know that the vaccine is safe, I cannot in good conscience recommend it to most of my patients.

From the outset, let me say, I am not anti all vaccinations, rather I am pro vaccine safety and freedom of choice.

Get the Upper Hand on Looking Young…

Hands can show your age, that’s not news, but there are some new ways to get - and keep - your hands looking younger. Even some 30-something celebrities have been photographed and ridiculed in the press and online because of their “claw-like” hands. It’s easy to forget about hands because you’re usually looking at yourself from the chest up in the mirror, but just a few extra minutes and some quick shortcuts can take years off your hands.

Part One- The best-ever foods to prevent aging….

Nobody wants to age. Nobody wants wrinkles or a waddly neck. So, how do we battle the aging process? Well, the quickest answer is---the way your skin and body ages depends on how you treat your body, inside and out!

Here’s what most people don’t get: your aesthetic beauty depends more on the strength of your digestion and metabolism, the quality of your sleep, how often you have a bowel movement, the foods you eat and the cleanliness of your liver than on scrubs, cleansers and anti-wrinkle creams that cost you your entire paycheck. When you proactively take care of your internal health, your external appearance will truly radiate with that envied youthful glow.
