BODY SHARPERS FOR WOMEN

Monday, March 28th, 2011

Body shapers are easy-to-wear shape wear garments that can instantly slim, flatten and enhance most areas of the body including breast, stomach, waist, hip, thigh, buttocks and legs. It can well be said that the concept of body shapers have been around for centuries with ‘corsets’ and ‘girdles’ of yore that were worn by women to squeeze the figure into the desired form. Modern body shapers are typically more comfortable corsets and girdles that can help shape any part of the body and not just the waist and bust.
Body shapers are the safest way to take all those extra inches in important places where one cannot seem to lose the weight. Some body shapers can transform and reshape the body in minutes. For instance there is a ‘Look slimmer and trimmer instantly’ half slim suit which targets problem areas. This body suit can shape, support and redefine the body while flattening the tummy and sculpting the figure. Body shape wear garments include compression panels and bands that provide shaping control to body areas.
What can body shapers do?
A favorite outfit can be worn quite comfortably and confidently all day with a body shaper in place. Women can enjoy an hourglass figure while still letting her breathe and eat comfortably.
Body shapers aim to firm and shape the desired areas such as midriff, tummy, sides, waist, bottom, thighs, back and hips. They could be worn as invisible under clothing with flat seams and support panels. They adopt a four way stretch and memory to retain shape. Some body shapers also help to even out cellulite.
These shape wear garments can make a woman appear thinner /slimmer and hide trouble areas. Additionally, body shapers can also contribute to enhance body areas; providing additional curves and padding.
Body shapers
Shape wear garments are worn like underwear beneath any type of clothing ranging from body tight fashions to loose and baggy styles. Shape wear garments are usually made of special strong materials like lycra, nylon and spandex. Sometimes a mixture of nylon and lycra is used. Spandex is a material that helps to control and compress troublesome spots while allowing normal circulation. Nowadays, silicone grippers are extensively used. All shape wear garments have no visible seams showing through.
Shape wear garments come in a variety of styles. For instance, many women wear body shaper briefs on a regular basis to take off those extra inches around the stomach, butt and thighs.
Body shape garments come in light, medium, firm or extra firm control according to the shaping needs of the individual. Panty girdles and briefs, leg shapers, body suits, bras and breast shapers, buttock shapers, waist cinchers and slimming thermal micro shapers work through high compression, perspiration and micro massage techniques to accelerate weight loss instantly.
How does shape wear garments work?
The shape wear garments exhibit firm control by an inner firming panel.
A lining in the garment provides silky smoothness against the skin.
The garments are flexible and provide full coverage not available with extra firm garments.
Instant derriere enhancer and back control are used for buttocks enhancing which instantly lift, shape and slim the body and flatten the stomach, waist, hip, thighs, buttocks and back.
Enhancing body shapers increase the lipo-transportation and work in a natural and effective way.
For instance, the tank tops offer extra compression in the abdomen area with comfortable wide straps and an exclusive dorsal support made of crossed bands of powernet fabric.
For better support these shapers are made with latex fabric with exclusive designs supporting the spinal column and allowing the breast to be in a comfortable position.
Body wrap suits that are under wired provide rear lifts and tummy control that flattens and slenderizes.
 ‘Memory’ fabric is used in shape wear garments which mold the body shape and adapt your weight while still returning to its original shape once it is removed from the body.
These garments exhibit 100% recovery times and will not get stretched.
It is recommended to initially use body shapers for two hours a day and to increase this time once the user feels more comfortable with the garment. Later, it can be used as active everyday underwear worn underneath any type of clothing.
Body shape garments – Usage tips
Getting the right shape and sized body garments is of utmost importance. A user has to understand the size charts and measuring tips before ordering a product.
Normally body shape garments can be hand washed or machine washed with warm water although bleaching is not allowed. Similarly, the garment should be air dried and not machine dried. Do not iron.
Ideally it is better to have two sets of body shaper garment for regular use as this will enable the user wear a fresh and clean garment always while the soiled one goes for wash.
Some slimming thermal body shapers have to be worn between eight to ten hours a day for a period of thirty days of continuous wear to reduce waist measurements from one to four inches.
Shape wear garments are used effectively for maintaining and enhancing any type of body cosmetic procedure after the recovery process.
Shape wear garments range from inexpensive to high priced depending upon the place of purchase. Many women’s body shapers can also be sourced online.
Body shapers are available in all sizes including plus sizes. But it is important to understand that body shapers do not provide permanent benefits. Rather, they provide quick and easy way to look dramatically better. Women who seeks to permanently improve their appearance should follow a healthy diet and exercise regimen.

What really is our radiation risk?

Monday, March 28th, 2011

I was listening to Howard Stern yesterday morning, as I normally do, and I was shocked to hear them talk about Howard’s cousin who is apparently running around buying hand held geiger counters and potassium iodide to ward off radiation poisoning (AKA Acute Radiation Syndrome.)  I never even thought about when the Japanese reactors started acting up because we are SO far away and the amount of radiation present diminishes across distance and with buildings or other such structures blocking it.  That being said, I wanted to let people know what radiation poisoning is and what you can do to prevent it.

What is Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS)?
It is caused by a large amount of radiation exposure quickly and can cause a whole slew of health issues that effect your blood, GI system, and neurovascular systems. And the symptoms can include a low blood count (anemia), nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, dizziness, headache, and loss of consciousness.  As well, you can get reddened, blisters that form on the skin post exposure.

What are sources of radiation?
There are natural sources, nuclear medicine, medical x-rays, radiation placed inside the body and numerous other sources.  The nuclear reactor breakdown in Japan was clearly unexpected and is a huge source of radiation exposure for people in Japan at this time

What can we do to prevent exposure?
Well, as I stated above distance between you and the source diminishes the risk of exposure as well as time.  Radiation doesn’t just stay lingering forever, as time goes on the strength of the exposure decreases too.  And potassium Iodide is another way to prevent exposure, which is an over the counter medication that pharmacies are running out of at ridiculous rates right now, because it has its own side effects.  Potassium iodide protects the thyroid because it is absorbed by the thyroid so that the radioiodine is not absorbed.  It was approved by the FDA in the 1980′s for nuclear war emergencies only because it has its own risk of causing thyroid cancer, so it shouldn’t be taken unless you are in immediate danger.

Bottom line?
Here in the US we are at a very low risk of ARS and there is no need to start taking potassium iodide (KI) and worrying at this point. For all of you in other parts of the world, assess your risk and talk to your HCP about your own prevention strategy. If you have concerns talk to your HCP about pros and cons of taking KI and you may want to keep some IN CASE of a nuclear emergency near where you live.  But please don’t start taking KI without talking to an HCP first!

Yours in Good Health
