How to Look Younger Now Without Wrinkle Creams or Surgery

How to Look Younger Now Without Wrinkle Creams or Surgery

Yes, you read that correctly -- finally, there is a vitamin D producing system that I can recommend...
In case you didn't know, taking a vitamin D supplement is not the optimal way to regulate your body’s vitamin D levels.
On the other hand, many experts (including me) believe that there are no health concerns with regard to vitamin D concentration associated with sun exposure.
That's why I feel that the best way to make sure you don't end up with too much or too little vitamin D is to produce it in your own body, by getting some exposure to beneficial ultraviolet A and B rays, like those produced by the sun.
And, as an added benefit, you'll also help give your skin a more healthful glow.
Tanning beds produce ultraviolet A and B rays as well...
And yes, I've been asked many times if there is such a thing as a tanning bed that won't put you at risk.
My answer was always: A tanning bed can be useful, but in my opinion most commercial tanning beds can be a cause for concern.
You see, there are potential problems associated with them that may have a negative impact on your health:
• X-Rays -- These rays, emitted by the ends of the bulbs, are a form of radiation, and can be potentially hazardous.
So although they produce the same beneficial ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays as the sun and add a pleasant tone to your skin, I've always believed that the best source of those beneficial rays is the sun itself, in moderation.
You see, the UVB rays from the sun help your skin to produce up to 80% of the vitamin D in your body. Your body simply can't make vitamin D without exposure to UVB energy.
And the UVA rays produce a tan that not only makes your skin more pleasing in appearance, but is also your body's natural defense against sunburn.
That's right. Your skin is designed to tan as a natural bodily function!
But for many of you, getting ample sunlight just isn't an option. You have busy lives that don't allow for getting outdoors a lot, much less sunbathing.
And depending upon where you live, it could be cold out, raining out, or cloudy for weeks on end... you get the idea.
I knew that if they could find a way to shield those harmful emissions and make a convenient and affordable tanning system, there'd be a huge demand for it.
Guess what?
They finally did it. And that's great news for you because now you can get this beneficial energy in the most convenient place of all -- your own home!
Put a little sunlight into your life, anytime you want to!

Wait A Minute! I'm Supposed To Avoid the Sun's Rays These Days, Right?

Despite the health benefits you can derive from the sun's ultraviolet rays, they've still gotten a lot of undeserved bad press lately.
Everyone from health officials to your well-meaning friends seems to have the same advice: The sun is your enemy. They tell you that it will wrinkle your skin and cause you to look older prematurely -- even increase your risk of cancer.
It is true that anything, no matter how healthy it might be for you, can be harmful in excessive amounts. Remember:
Always avoid overexposing yourself to the sun's rays! This applies to tanning beds or systems as well.
You should definitely avoid sunburn at all costs.
With that being said, in moderation, ultraviolet rays from the sun or a tanning system can have many benefits for you.
On the other hand, in my opinion, avoiding the sun's ultraviolet rays can have detrimental effects on your health simply because you are depriving yourself of the solar nourishment you were meant to have.
Of course, the amount of exposure depends on you, so if you're not sure, start out by getting just a few minutes a day and gradually build your way up.
Just don't expose yourself long enough to get sunburned. Make your exposure to vitamin D-stimulating rays a positive one.

Avoid the Winter Blues with "The Sunshine Vitamin"

Why does it seem that more people are "under the weather" during the months November through March?
Or why many people feel fatigued and run-down during that time?
Coincidence? I don't think so.
During that period, in most of the United States the sun won't stimulate vitamin D in your body, due to its increased distance. Your vitamin D levels can drop as much as 50% in the winter.
Depleted of vitamin D, your immune system may not be up to its full potential, leaving you more susceptible to certain health concerns. In fact, I strongly believe that vitamin D deficiency is a growing epidemic!
Vitamin D has demonstrated support for:
• Your healthy immune system
• Your cardiovascular system
• Your prostate
• Helping increase your level of white blood cells
• Your healthy skin
Your body doesn't produce vitamin D on its own. You need exposure to ultraviolet rays to stimulate the production of vitamin D in your body.
Yes, there are vitamin D supplements on the market, but I feel that the best place for you to get your vitamin D is from ultraviolet B rays.
Many of these supplements are synthetic, which you should avoid. Also, vitamin D in excessive doses can lead to other health concerns (visit my website to learn more about that).
So get some exposure -- the good kind!
Guess what? The Vitality Tanning Bed is an excellent sources of UVA and/or UVB rays...

Want to Reverse Your Wrinkles? Then Go To the Light... For Younger Looking Skin

There's another way that light benefits you, specifically light produced in 633 nanometer (nm) waves.
When you are exposed to light in this 633 nm range, your skin cells are naturally stimulated, leading to the production of collagen, elastin and certain enzymes that support your skin.
As you age, collagen and elastin break down and you begin to see wrinkles, creases and folds in skin that was once taut.
This process may accelerate if you smoke or have poor eating habits.
Light in the 633 nm range pulls collagen back to the surface of your skin to fill in lines and wrinkles, and help reverse the appearance of aging.
Also, light in this range helps strengthen the walls of the small blood vessels in your skin, which results in improved oxygenation and detoxification. Hydration is increased, and the ability of your skin to retain moisture improves.
Improved natural healing and the creation of healthy conditions for your skin will follow.
Another important effect of 633 nm light is that it affects the permeability of the membrane of your skin cells. What this means is that it becomes easier for the important active ingredients of topical skincare products to pass through the walls of your skin cells, increasing their effectiveness.
In a nutshell, light in the 633 nm range can improve the clarity, tone and texture of your skin, basically giving you a more youthful appearance.
