Antioxidant could offer miracle cure for wrinkles
Washington, Aug 31 : Women may soon no longer have to turn to plastic surgery to get rid of those pesky wrinkles, thanks to a researcher at the Hebrew University Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Quality Sciences who has developed a new method to fight wrinkles.The method has been developed by Dr. Orit Bossi under the supervision of Zecharia Madar, the Karl Bach Professor of Agricultural Biochemistry at the Hebrew University, and Prof. Shlomo Grossman of Bar-Ilan University.Antioxidants operate against free radicals which cause a breakdown of many tissues in the body, including the skin. When found in small quantities in the body, free radicals are not harmful and are even involved in various physical processes. When there is an excess of free radicals, however, as occurs during normal aging or as a result of excessive exposure to ultra-violet radiation from the sun, the result, among other things, is a breakdown of the collagen and elastin fibers in the skin.
Put the kettle on
Making the perfect cup of tea is not as easy as it seems. I never liked designer coffee places. Although they brew good coffee, they are terrible makers of a proper cup of tea. So I seek joy in a glass of Masala tea at Indian restaurants � an orange brew, with copious amounts of sugar, evaporated milk, cinnamon, cardamom and cloves. As disturbingly New Age as it may sound, it gives me a sense of well-being. What? That pair of shoes I�ve been eyeing don�t come in my size? .
