What do you think of the idea of working out your face muscles as well as the rest of your body? Your face has lots of muscles, yet most people don’t ever think of “working out” their face.

Working out your face can reduce signs of aging, and Pax, founder of Body For The Ages, is embarking on a new venture to create a Facial Fitness bar, where with creams and patented products, people can stimulate the muscles in their face to create a more youthful look.

What do you think? If you’re interested, let us know.

Some thoughts on non-profits

We already have government healthcare for the poor, and the elderly through Medicaid and Medicare… and it’s putting the hospitals with the greatest number of older and ultra-low income patients out of business, because the government only reimburses cost.  Automatically, this means private insurance and Blue Cross patients must be overcharged, in order for the hospitals to survive.  (Note: Blue Cross is now known as Anthem.)

America had better wake up, because private insurance and Blue Cross patients are overcharged, paying for the elderly and low income Medicare and Medicaid patients.

I owned two acute hospitals, and filed for Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement from the government for a third of a century.  Bottom line is that a hospital without a substantial number of private insurance and Blue Cross patients must short-change quality of care, or go bankrupt, because of the burden of reimbursement at cost for Medicare and Medicaid hospital patients.  You must make a profit to survive, and the government is not letting hospitals do that.  It is unfair to compensate for this by overcharging the private insurance and Blue Cross patients.

Some thoughts on non-profits

A potential solution to the problem of hospitals receiving low medicare reimbursement in low income areas would be fundraising. Here again they are at a disadvantage, due to the fact they have fewer wealthy people as a source for fund raising.  Thus the low income  hospital loses two ways:  First, they have fewer private patients in order to make a profit, and fund raising opportunities are less because of the population they serve.

Bottom line, the private patient has to be overcharged in order to create a decent profit.

With universal health care, which Obama favors, there will be no more private patients.  Therefore, who is left to “screw”, in order to make universal  health care an economic  success.

Some thoughts on non-profits

We have to assume all corporations, including non-profit corporations, have to make a profit to survive…but the Government for medicare and medicade only reimburse hospitals at cost.  That means all profit comes from Blue Cross and private insurance patients.  If the hospital is located in a poor district they would have fewer private patients and more government patients.  Therefore, hospitals in low income areas find it more difficult to survive  and a shortage of funds can impact their quality of care.

The following may shock you.  Some of the big non-profits that are household names, make a lot of noise and do very little.  Many are just fund raising machines.

Yes, there is some merit to creating public awareness to certain medical problems. But creating awareness as opposed to doing something about problems and implementing a solution, are two different things.

Many have staggering overheads to create fund raising.  Thus, your donated dollar will be spent for such costs, in order to perpetuate more fund raising rather than to show the public how to solve a problem.  Some of the biggest non-profits, names purposely not mentioned, but logic tells you who they are, are classic examples.  In donating your dollar, you want to feel  it goes to an entity  that actually implements programs.

Great non-profits are Big Brothers/Sisters and AA.  Proudly I include Body For The Ages Non Profit –we  don’t just talk the talk, we  walk the walk.  Our targets are to build a body of your dreams, guaranteed weight loss and heart health…all with the mission to live your life to its maximum genetic lifespan.

Anabolic steroids have received a negative connotation, and although many of the negative claims are valid, some are just scare tactics used by our government.

The FDA claim that steroids use leads to death is misleading. Abusing anabolic steroids may lead to complications that may cause death, although there are few studies linking the cause of someone’s death directly to steroid use.

There are plenty of substances that if abused may result in death, such as alcohol, cigarettes and over-the-counter medicine. Drinking a glass a wine will not kill you, but it is possible to die from alcohol poisoning. We can apply the same logic to steroid use.

I am not promoting the use of steroids, but I feel as if the government has injected people with propaganda.

Doctors have long been prescribing steroids to treat breast cancer, AIDS, osteoporosis, inflammation, anemia and other illnesses.

Steroid use is prolific among bodybuilders and athletes because it clearly builds more muscle mass and increases performance. Of course, there are side effects.

Side effects are contingent on steroid dosage and length of cycle, but generally, one will experience increased liver function and cholesterol levels, headaches, nosebleeds and cramps.

Psychologically, men may experience depression after cessation of the anabolic steroid, due to low natural testosterone levels and higher estrogen levels.

Do not take these side effects lightly, and if you are going to anabolic steroids, do your research.

Again, I am not condoning the use of steroids, but by making steroids illegal, the government is endangering people. Those who want to use them, still will, but because most people who self-administer steroids are unqualified to do so, they may not know the ramifications to their body.

A recent article in the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/12/health/12heart.html?bl&ex=1227070800&en=0fd3c2f76367617a&ei=5087%0A) got me thinking.  We target the 40-60 crowd here at Body for the Ages.  Are we focusing on the wrong group?  Don’t children need the help more?

The thing is, we teach our children through our example.  If we let it be OK for us to be dangerously overweight, we demonstrate to our children that it’s OK for them too.  If we constantly reach for the cookie over the celery, we tell our children it is OK for them too.  If we spend every afternoon on the couch, we tell our children that’s OK for them too.

If we die early from heart disease, is that one lesson enough to undo all the others?  Maybe.  But why bet a child’s life on it?

The great thing about our example is that it works in all directions.  If we turn around ourselves, we show our kids that they can do.  That’s one of the great things about Pax, he shows that you can come back from nearly being dead to become National Bodybuilding Champion.  It’s one of the great things about the President-Elect, he shows that any child can grow up to be president.

And that’s what you got to be for your kids.  You got to be the example that anybody can get fit.  That anybody can achieve the body of their dreams, and reduce their heart risks in the process.

And we will help you do it.  Join us here.

Here is a secret you may not want to know about. You obviously can accelerate muscle growth through the use of anabolic steroids, human growth hormone, insulin, or a combination thereof. So far, that’s good if you aren’t afraid of drugs, and the fear of the gendarmes arresting you.

However, the secret that you should know about to offset more rapid muscle growth, is that men’s testicles shrink up and become non-functional, while the individual is taking the anabolic steroid. Usually the testicles will become active again, but after cessation from anabolic steroids, there is a window of time before your natural body’s ability to produce semen and generate erections. The reason is that the body will become reliant on the anabolic steroid to produce semen, and the male’s testicles got lazy and became inactive.

I will share some negative secrets with you women. Yes, the drugs I referenced will reduce fat and increase muscle mass, and shape your body moderately or to the extreme. An anabolic steroid is synthetic testosterone, or male hormone. So, you women should think twice before using an anabolic steroid. Here is a real Insider Pro Secret: you women will suddenly get a lowered voice, like a male. A little more aggravating, but not quite so obvious to the world at large, you will get hair on your nipples, and your clitoris will become oversized.

So, there are some positive secrets, and some negative secrets.
