Re: Damage Control ; Time Takes Its Toll, But It's Not Too Late to Slow Skin Aging

[Guest guest]

Too bad our culture is so obsessed with wrinkles and skin aging, instead of

health and the obesity epidemic. In some other cultures (Okinawa for one)

age and experience are revered rather than something to hide.

Of course dermatologists and plastic surgeons have everything to gain from

promoting these procedures, as well as appearing on tv in all these

" makeover " programs.

Hi Francesca:

Yes. In our culture round-faced people are usually thought to be

healthy! Slim-faced people are presumed to be ill.

I suppose, if the only people capable of maintaining a healthy weight

are those that are ill, that might make sense.

Someone recently informed me that I have " aged dramatically " in the

past twelve months, after dropping my BMI from 24.6 to 22.3. Gosh,

just imagine how young I could appear at a BMI of 30!

Rodney.
