4 Vitamins That Scientifically Make Your Skin Healthy & Give You A Charismatic Look Fast

 4 Vitamins That Scientifically Make Your Skin Healthy & Give You A Charismatic Look Fast





Healthy, glowing, and gleaming skin is the dream of every person. Everyone yearns for flawless, spotless, and youthful skin.

But, in this busy world, we are always in a rush and neglect our skin consciously or subconsciously.

 

Not taking the right diet that contributes to healthy skin and our general health, can cause many symptoms we might be oblivious of.

So, we need to make sure that we get the required nutrients and vitamins in the right amounts either by our diet or through supplements.

 

Vitamins That Are Proven to Provide a Healthy Skin

Let’s have a glimpse at the requisite supplements that prevent your skin from being jeopardized, give it a boost, make you more confident and give you a charismatic look.

 

Vitamin-C

You will now see how vitamin-C works from every facet, making your skin look radiant, and preventing it from looking insipid.

The most important property of vitamin C is that it possesses antioxidant properties. So, it prevents damage to the skin cells caused by the free radicals that are accumulated in the body and cause damage to the healthy skin cells.

 

Everyone knows about a skin pigment called melanin. Melanin in excess darkens the skin. Vitamin C reduces the amount of melanin secreted thus lightening the skin (curing hyperpigmentation).

 

Collagen production is also naturally enhanced by vitamin C. Collagen is the main building block of your skin. The procedures like micro-needling and derma rolling, aim to increase skin collagen production by acupuncturing it.

 

Vitamin C exhibits anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, it also helps people with acne-prone skin. It reduces the inflammation, redness, and soreness caused by acne.

Other Important functions of vitamin C for skin include reducing the wrinkles, fading the dark spots, healing scars by collagen production, repairing the dry skin, and keeping your skin hydrated.

 

Vitamin-D

An adequate amount of vitamin D contributes both to the skin and overall health as well.

It prevents premature aging by improving your skin metabolism. Improved skin metabolism helps to destroy free radicals that wreak premature aging. Thus, vitamin D triggers the synthesis of new skin cells, speeds up their metabolism, increases their activity, and provides you a youthful skin.

 

Due to its anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties, Vitamin D reduces and cures acne and the inflammation it causes. Vitamin D also serves to heal your dry skin.

 

This is the reason Vitamin D is an essential component of skin products. You can also absorb vitamin D from sun exposure but make sure you put on sunscreen. Because harmful UV rays in sunlight can cause skin problems.

The deficiency of Vitamin D can cause dryness, redness, and wrinkles.

 

Vitamin B

 

A yellowish skin might be a red flag showing vitamin B deficiency. Vitamin B ensures that body cells are functioning properly and thus maintains healthy skin cells.

Vitamin B is a complex vitamin comprising different forms. All forms play their roles in making the skin healthy and vibrant in different ways.

 

Vitamin B3 (niacin) is a potent anti-aging agent. It is the main constituent of skincare products that heal dry skin and also reduce wrinkles and fine lines.

Rosacea, Eczema, and other similar skin problems can also be cured by Vitamin B3.

Thus, it nourishes your skin and gives you a young and fresh look.

 

Vitamin B2 This is the most primitive and first discovered form of vitamin B. It helps in the regular shedding of old skin cells and maintains collagen production as well. It minimizes oil production in people suffering from oily skin and acne. On the other hand, it balances oil production in those who already have dry skin.

 

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is perhaps the most important form among others. It is essential for reproducing skin cells. It cures skin problems like eczema, acne, and psoriasis.

 

It also reduces inflammation and redness caused by dry skin.

 

Vitamin A

Vitamin A comes with anti-oxidant properties. It has a wide range of functions that contribute to skin health:

 

  •  It improves skin immune system and heals skin faster Also shuns acne breakout and promotes spotless skin.
  •  It acts as a natural moisturizer thus giving radiant and bright skin.
  •  It ensures proper health of the outer dermis and inner epidermis, the two outer layers of the skin.
  •  It also prevents skin damage caused by skin burns.
  •  It regulates collagen production besides other functions.



Final Words

You saw how different nutrients help in making the skin healthy, how they nourish it, and how they are involved in its maintenance.

Despite all the above information, you need to consult your doctor before taking any supplement.

Lactose Intolerance with its cause, types, cure, test and home remedies

What is  Lactose Intolerance, Its Causes, Symptoms, and How You Can Treat or Prevent it? 


Indigestion of milk and other dairy products due to lack of milk digesting enzyme lactase in our body is called lactose Intolerance.


Lactose Intolerance Map




Causes 

 Our body has a natural milk digesting enzyme called lactase. Lactase breaks down the milk sugar lactose into smaller and simpler sugars so that the milk can be easily digested in our body. 

In some individuals, this enzyme is deficient congenitally or due to some other reasons due to which they experience symptoms of gas, bloating, nausea, abdominal pain consequently leading to diarrhoea.

Symptoms of Lactose Intolerance 

  • Diarrhoea 
  • Gas
  • Farting
  • Bloating of stomach
  • Stomach cramps & pains
  • Gurgling or rumbling sounds in the lower belly
  • Feeling sick
  • Nausea



Lactose Intolerance Test at home 

Take a glass of milk on an empty stomach. If the symptoms like gas, bloating and diarrhoea occur after 30 minutes to 2 hours, then you are lactose intolerant. If not, then you can tolerate lactose. 

Types of Lactose Intolerance :

1. Primary Lactose Intolerance

Primary Lactose Intolerance is most common in Asia. Different individuals experience it with the passage of time at different age groups of his life. 

Those individuals who take milk products intermittently or not at all can develop this type of Lactose Intolerance.

As they do not consume milk and milk products, so lactase enzyme becomes deficient instinctively in their body.

Consequently, in the long run, they can not digest milk and other milk products.

2. Secondary Lactose Intolerance

In this type, lactose Intolerance can develop due to some other disease or due to an injury of small intestine.

In this type, level of lactase enzyme can be restored after treatment.

3. Congenital Lactose Intolerance

In type, lactase is deficient in the body congenitally. A child can not even digest his mother's breast milk.

He can suffer from diarrhoea, dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.

So, they are then shifted to lactose-free milk and they can digest it easily.

General Deficiencies in the body due to Lactose Intolerance

People with lactose Intolerance can be hit by the deficiency of the following :

1. Calcium

2. Vitamin D

3. Vitamin B-2

4. Proteins to some extent

Diet Suitable for the Lactose Intolerant

1. Yoghurt

People who can't t digest milk are still able to digest yoghurt.

Milk is converted into yoghurt by a process called fermentation.

During fermentation, milk sugar lactose is converted into simple sugars.

Yoghurt can provide all the nutrients, vitamins and benefits that milk provides to the body



2. Take half a cup of milk

It is discovered that if some lactose Intolerant people take half cup of milk a day, they can digest it easily.

The amount can be reduced more in case if one experiences the symptoms.

3. Alternatives to the Milk

One can go with other options if he still wants to consume milk. There are many alternatives and lactose-free milk products like :

  • Soy Milk.
  • Almond Milk. 
  • Rice Milk.
  • Lactose-free formula milk.



4. Lactase Enzyme Supplements 

One can take lactase enzyme tablets (lactose Intolerance pills) before the intake of milk or dairy products. 

This is a good alternative but it should be availed after consultation with the doctor. 



Food Items that the Lactose Intolerant should avoid

Persons with lactose Intolerance should avoid the following. I have listed some of the major items

  • Powdered Milk.
  • Ice creams.
  • Waffles.
  • Ready-made breakfasts in the form of cereals.
  • Creams.
  • Sauces.
  • Custards.
  • Puddings.
  • Butter.


Home Remedy for Lactose Intolerance 
Start taking a half cup of milk every day, if you find that you can easily digest this small amount (a half-cup), then gradually increase this amount a little bit with the passage of time. This might help you tolerate lactose Intolerance.

International Labour's Day, Causes, History, Benefits, Quotes and Images

 International Labour's Day

International Labour's Day also known as International worker's Day is celebrated in the world on 1st May in the commemoration of the labourers and working class and was achieved due to the sacrifices and struggles of The Labour Movement

International Labour's Day/International worker's Day /May Day



History of International Labour's Day. 

why is International Labour's Day celebrated? 

Worker's Day and The Labour Movement 

It was nineteenth century when Chicago was newly developed as an industrial city. Thousands of workers came here and belonged to different countries like France, Japan, England, etc. These workers worked arduously and strainingly for 16 hours a day and their daily wages were merely 150-200 rupees.


 The industrialists and the factory owners kept on insisting that the labourers should not recognise their rights. They also ensured that the labourers do not start a movement for their rights. Consequently, they had kept spies among them and used hooligans and the police to threaten the labourers. They kept them indulged in linguistics and nationality. 

If any worker raised his voice for his rights, he was black listed, fired and boycotted form every aspect. The media at that time was bribed by the industrialists.To demand their rights, the labourers made a campaign overnight named "Knights of Labour".

Knights of Labour


 

Its motivĂ© was that the labourers will work eight hours a day,rest for eight hours and spend the rest eight hours for their recreation. In 1884 when this movement started struggling to  demand their rights, its total members were 70000 and in 1886,just after two years, its members had increased to 7 lacs



 A newspaper of that time, "Worker's Times" had great influence on the movement of the labourers. It was published in German language and was an anarchist  newspaper. Likewise, different trade unions gathered together and made another movement known as "Federation of Organised Trade and Labour Unions".

They decided that they will conduct a procession and make strikes on 1st May, 1986 to demand their rights like eight working hours for a day. Consequently, on 1st May, 1986, 5 lac labourers protested and conducted processions and rallies throughout America. In Chicago, about eighty thousands protested.

 In a factory"MicCormick Harvesting Machine Company ", the labourers had also been protesting for too long for their rights . The factory owners had expelled them for 3 months but the labourers kept on protesting at the gate of the factory. 



The factory owners used guards of special agencies that compelled the workers to either stop the protests or start working in the factory. In those days, a leader of the movement, made a speech calling all the labourers and workers to muster up. Consequently, the protestors at the gate of the factory tried to join the labourers who were coming out of the factory after their working shift.

 As they moved forward towards them, the police fired on the labourers resulting in the death of six of them. The leader of the movement, said that it was merely done to restrain the labourers from demanding their rights.

Hay Market Riots

Consequently, in an overnight, the labourers printed 25000 pamphlets calling all the labourers to gather together in the "Hay Market"





The next day on 3rd May, 1986, three thousands reached over there in spite of the heavy rain and started listening to the speeches of their leaders. 



All was going as far as good when at 10 pm at night, police force in huge number approached and tried to evacuate that place of the labourers and threatened to use coercive measures in case of resistance. 

In the meanwhile, a labourer threw a bomb at the police that exacerbated the condition . The police started firing on the labourers and as a result, many of the labourers were injured and many died, while the rest of them started retreating . The police force, despite of their retrieval, didn't stop the shelling. 

Bomb blast in labour movement

Consequently, a majority of the labourers were shot to death. Seven police men died in this process. 



At that time, the labourers had white flag as their symbol . When the labourers fell on the ground after being shot dead by the police, their clothes and their flags were stained red due to their blood. Next day, the labourers hung that red, blood stained clothes and flags outside their houses. 

The entire colonies of the labourers looked red due to their blood stained flags. The media, instead of supporting the labourers,strongly opposed them and said that it was the terrible consequence of anarchy.  8 leaders of the movement were arrested and prosecuted in charge of killing the cops.

 The trial commenced on 21st June, 1986 and came to an end on 11th August, 1886 where media and the courts both turned against the labourers. Only those judges were made a part of the benches who were in favour of the industrialists. As a result, 7 leaders were sentenced to death while 1 was sentenced to life imprisonment. As a matter of fact, 6 leaders were not even present over there when the incident took place. Six leaders were dressed in white clothes and hanged till death. 

One leader was in jail and to escape this punishment, he committed suicide. There were protests throughout the world due to the assassination of the pathetic labourers. People raised red flags to support the miserable and pathetic labourers and this red flag became their symbol. Many intellectuals opposed and wrote against this. Their leaders were engraved in the "Hay Market". 

It was seen that people throughout the world started supporting the labourers and their leaders who were hanged. They also made protests for the acceptance of their rights. Consequently, it was decided that the labourers would work eight hours a day, but if they are to work more than eight hours, then they should be paid for the extra hours.

  1. Better Wages

  4. Efforts to stop child labour
  5. Provide aid to the injured
