in more sophisticated and effective<br />
ways than just over-the-counter artificial<br />
tears. Good starting points for the<br />
self-treatment of dry eye syndrome include<br />
taking omega-3 fish oil supplements,<br />
practicing good lid hygiene,<br />
using warm compresses, the discontinuation<br />
of ceiling fans, and the use<br />
of humidifiers. Artificial tears can help<br />
provide symptomatic relief in some<br />
patients but may just serve as a Band-<br />
Aid while not treating the root cause.<br />
This can sometimes be ultimately detrimental;<br />
therefore, doctors recommend<br />
having an evaluation to find out the<br />
type or types of dry eye a patient has<br />
and directing treatment specifically.<br />

More than ever, men are seeking<br />
skin treatments that can help them<br />
look younger, more relaxed and<br />
less tired, especially when treating<br />
the under-eye area. For most men,<br />
it’s not about looking younger, it’s<br />
about looking well-rested.<br />
Botox Cosmetic tops the list of<br />
male cosmetic procedures, but<br />
the latest revolutionary treatment<br />
is platelet-rich plasma. PRP, also<br />
known as the Vampire Facial, is being<br />
used in many aspects of medicine,<br />
including skin rejuvenation,<br />
thinning/balding hair, sexual rejuvenation,<br />
joints, urology, gastrointestinal<br />
and dentistry. PRP is a great<br />
choice for rejuvenating the skin in<br />
men, because there is no downtime<br />
with this procedure. PRP is<br />
all-natural, using the patient’s own<br />
serum so there is no risk for side effects.<br />
The improvement in the skin<br />
tone and wrinkles is gradual over<br />
a few weeks, and males love the<br />
fact that they look younger, rested<br />
and refreshed. Focus can be placed<br />
on the under-eye area and crow’sfeet<br />
region, which helps clients look<br />
rested instead of exhausted for<br />
Friday’s happy hour. PRP for hair<br />

loss helps to regrow hair and slow<br />
the progression of hair loss. There<br />
is a lot of success with this nonsurgical<br />
one-hour procedure, and<br />
it is currently undergoing clinical<br />
trials.<br />
Healthy<br />
Living for Children<br />

The most important healthy living<br />
guidelines for children involve nutrition,<br />
sleep and exercise. These three<br />
components are key to decreasing the<br />
risk of developing chronic diseases<br />
such as hypertension and diabetes,<br />
which today are developing more<br />
often in children.<br />
Nutrition should focus on them<br />
getting four to five servings of fruits<br />
and vegetables a day. Parents<br />
should discourage sugary beverages<br />
by starting off in infancy with<br />
water instead of juice. They should<br />
also try to avoid products with added<br />
sugar as part of their regular<br />
diet.<br />
The goal for children is 60 minutes<br />
of exercise per day. This can<br />
be broken up into segments. For<br />
example, 20 minutes walking to<br />
a bus stop, 20 minutes in a gym,<br />
and 20 minutes riding their bikes<br />
after school. Limit screen time,<br />
and encourage kids to get up and<br />
move!<br />
Sleep is something that is often not<br />
thought of as important for disease<br />
prevention, but research is showing<br />
the value of good sleep. Encourage<br />
your children to develop good<br />
sleep hygiene such as regular bedtimes.<br />
The recommended amount<br />
of sleep varies: Preschoolers need<br />
10-13 hours, school-aged children<br />
need nine-12 hours, and teens need<br />
eight-10 hours. Getting adequate,<br />
good-quality sleep leads to better<br />
school performance, decreased<br />
mental health issues, and better<br />
physical health.<br />
