However, pediatricians all over the world began a survey to find out some effective ways of preventing food allergies in kids.

Read the complete article to know about the helpful findings and 5 classic tips to prevent allergies in kids.

1.       Keep the baby on liquid diet or at least 17 weeks

Researchers suggest not introducing solid food to your baby for 17 weeks. They found that babies who ate solid foods before 17 weeks were more prone to food allergies than those who don’t.  Researchers say that 17 weeks is a crucial time for the development of the baby.

2.       Continue to breastfeed the baby

In continuation to the above mentioned point, researchers suggest continuing breast feeding the baby even when you introduce solid food in the baby’s diet.

Reduce Facial Wrinkles Naturally With 7 Easy Tips — March 1, 2019

Reduce Facial Wrinkles Naturally With 7 Easy Tips

/DNA Associat/Leave a comment

Do you ever look into the mirror and wonder, “Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who looks the oldest of all?” Aging is inevitable, it cannot be stopped. But it is possible to minimize the effects of aging and make the signs appear less noticeable.

Besides natural aging, additional factors such as unprotected exposure to sun, constant dehydration, poor nutrition, smoking, lack of sleep, ad pollution accelerate facial aging.

In this post, we will talk about 7 natural ways to reduce facial wrinkles.

1. Use Chemical-free Sunscreen Lotions:

Applying sunscreen to your face protects your skin from direct exposure to the harmful sun rays. Use it regularly. Additionally, make sure that the sunscreen is devoid of chemicals and provides the right amount of SPF.

2. Use topical and Oral Anti-oxidants:

Anti-oxidants contain vitamins A, C, and E as well as beta-carotene which help reduce skin aging. You can use topical anti-oxidants like skincare serums, etc. or oral oxidants which include fruits and vegetables like blueberries, carrots, kale spinach, cranberries, kiwis, beans, etc. Antioxidants provide the broadest, most potent and stable skin protection.

3. Use Natural Moisturizers:

Wrinkles are also caused because of the skin’s inability to produce moisture on its own. Natural moisturizers like coconut oil, argan oil, jojoba oil, sunflower oil, and olive oil work as natural hydration for the skin and help to keep the skin moisturized.

4. Fermented Cod Liver Oil:

Omega-3s and Vitamin D help to tone down the inflammation caused due to sun damage. Fermented cod liver oil is filled with these nutrients. Try to use fermented products as they are highly rich in Omega-3S and Vitamin D.

5. Increase the Intake of Gelatin in your Diet:

Gelatin addresses the issue of less collagen. Gelatin is made from cooked collagen in bone broths of cows and pigs. If you don’t eat these, take gelatin supplements to boost your skin’s collagen content.

6. Take Proper Sleep:

Proper sleep ensures that you have enough human growth hormone which helps to generate tissue development for skin renewal.

7. Avoid Smoking:

Smoking wears off the anti-oxidants that are essential for healthy skin. This speeds up the aging process leading to much clear appearance of wrinkles. Avoid smoking as much as you can and stop it.

Mentioned above are the natural ways to reduce facial wrinkles. However, it would require much patience from your side. If you are not patient enough, then you can always go for surgeries, and injectable fillers to soften the fine lines in your face. Botox is one of the fillers.
