…. Portable TENS gadgets have been produced for home use, but they still
require dealing with the wires and pads that attach to your skin and
that is an even bigger pain than the one in your back. So a smart
company in Chattanooga, TN, Hollywog, has invented the first wireless TENS
machine: the WiTouch.
Steve Horvath, a professor of human genetics and biostatistics at
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), has invented a new
biological clock that accurately keeps time of nearly all tissues in the
human body and how fast they age. His clock helps us understand not only how we age, but how our biological clocks can be turned back.
Ever notice the posture of a horseback rider? Straight back, flat

If you have the time and money for regular salon facials, you don’t need
these at-home facial products. The D’Arsonval multi-functional skin

lines, improve your complexion, and even stimulate hair growth – on
your head.

A graduate student at the University of Florida’s McKnight Brain Institute Center for Smell and Taste, Jennifer Stamps,
designed a very simple test to support the determination of Alzheimer’s
disease (AD) – a smell test involving peanut butter. If further

One of least rewarding chores of female beautification is face and body
hair removal. It’s a boring activity, it can be painful, and it’s
fruitless because the hair always grows back in what seems like no

decisions. Your relative or friend is not alone.
