Rooibos- 'n Koppie elke dag help

Hi

This post is especially dedicated to any Afrikaans readers out there that love Rooibos:

Rooibos

 

Navorsing oor die gesondheidsvoordele van Rooibostee is niks nuuts

nie. Navorsers regoor die wêreld doen reeds die afgelope 50 jaar

navorsing in laboratoriums, maar plaaslike navorsers het verlede jaar

vir die eerste keer begin om van dié laboratorium-bevindinge ook op

mense te toets.

Die proef wat die uitwerking van Rooibos toets op mense wat die gevaar loop om hartsiektes op te doen, is afgehandel.

 

Dr. Jeanine Marnewick, senior navorser van die anti-oksidant navorsingsgroep aan die Kaapse Skiereilandse Universiteit

 

 vanTegnologie, sê hulle is nog besig om die proefdata te ontleed en toetse te doen en behoort teen Oktober 2011

 

resultate te hê. Sy sê Rooibos is bekostigbaar engeredelik beskikbaar. “As ons kan bewys dat dié tee die potensiaal het om

 

 hartsiektes in mense teen te werk, sal dit ‘n deurbraak in die voorkoming van dié siektes wees. Ons het ‘n magdom

 

 bewyse van die gesondheidsvoordele van Rooibos in diere – van die

vertraging van die verouderingsproses tot die bestryding v

an kanker. Die uitdaging is om dié aansprake in mense

te bewys.”

Marnewick het by ‘n wetenskapkafee wat verlede

November 2012 by die MTN-wetenskapsentrum in Kaapstad

aangebied is, gesê haar studie fokus op die potensiaal wat

Rooibos het om mense te beskerm teen die oksidatiewe stres

en in-ammasie wat geassosieer word met die ontwikkeling

van hartsiektes. “Oksidatiewe stres is ‘n wanbalans tussen

oksidante en anti-oksidante waar oksidante die oorhand

het,”verduidelik Marnewick. “Té veel oksidante kan belangrike

komponente van lewende selle, soos lipiede, proteïen en

deoksi-ribonukleïensuur (DNS), beskadig, en degeneratiewe

siektes, soos hartsiektes, veroorsaak.”

Benewens die gesondheidsvoordele wat die navorsing kan

inhou, hoop die Rooibosbedryf om die navorsingsresultate

te gebruik om die publiek bewus te maak van die rol van

Rooibos in ‘n gesonde lewenstyl.

Nóg belangrike bevindinge, wat meer navorsing vereis

voordat spesieke aanbevelings oor die gebruik van

Rooibostee gemaak kan word, is die volgende:

 

Rooibos bevat ‘n komplekse en oorvloedige mengsel van

anti-oksidante.

•

Rooibos is die enigste bekende bron van ‘n besonder

voordelige, maar rare, anti-oksidant bekend as aspalatien.

•

Ongefermenteerde (”groen”) Rooibostee bevat hoër

vlakke van anti-oksidante as die algemeen bekende,

tradisionele gefermenteerde Rooibostee.

•

Die komplekse mengsel van anti-oksidante – bekend as

polifenole– in Rooibostee kan help om die liggaam teen

vrye radikale te beskerm en hul uitwerking op die liggaam

te beperk. Vrye radikale is onstabiele molekule wat die

genetiese materiaal (DNS) in selle kan beskadig en kanker

veroorsaak. Vrye radikale

kan cholesterol oksideer en

verstopte are, hartaanvalle en

beroertes veroorsaak.

•

Rooibos verhoog die antioksidantstatus

in die lewer.

Dié eienskap kan help om

Alzheimersiekte te behandel.

•

Rooibos bevorder die

produksie van teenliggame

wanneer daar aanslae op

immuunstelsels is.

•

 

Rooibos vertraag die

terugkeer van die Herpes

simplex-virus by mense.

•

Rooibos kan

gebruik word om sekere

maagongesteldhede te

behandel.

•

Rooibos inhibeer sekere

in-ammatoriese velsiektes en

maak die vel minder sensitief

vir sonskade.

Die Rooibos-navorsingspan by die Mediese

Navorsingsraad is vir etlike jare besig om die uitwerking

van Rooibostee op verskillende tipes kanker te ondersoek.

Die span, onder leiding van Dr Kareemah Gamieldien en

Prof. Wentzel Gelderblom, werk met menslike selle in die

laboratorium. Hul navorsingsresultate toon groot belofte

vir die behandeling van kanker in mense, dog is meer

navorsing nodig.

Hulle het reeds gevind dat Rooibos die ontwikkeling van

velkanker teenwerk deurdat bestanddele in Rooibos inmeng

met die proses waardeur kanker ontwikkel. Die span is besig

om die moontlikheid te ondersoek om ‘n “cosmeceutical” (‘n

kosmetiese farmaseutiese produk), van Rooibos te ontwikkel,

waarmee velkanker behandel kan word.

Navorsing op kankerselle verkry van menslike vel, lewer,

kolon en slukderms, toon dat groen (ongefermenteerde)

Rooibos die groei van kankerselle betekenisvol geïnhibeer

het. Die span is nou besig met navorsing om vas te stel wat

die meganisme is waardeur Rooibos die ontwikkeling van

kanker inhibeer, en spesiek oor die balans tussen selgroei

en -afsterwe.

 

Presies hoé Rooibos selle teen kanker beskerm, is die

onderwerp van meer as een studie waarmee die MNR-span

besig is. Tot dusver is gevind dat Rooibos kankerverwante

veranderinge in selle verminder deur selle teen DNS-skade,

oftewel mutagenese, te beskerm.

Mutagenese is een van die eerste stappe in die

ontwikkeling van kanker, en tydens mutagenese word die

genetiese materiaal van selle verander vanweë oormatige

blootstelling aan mutagene wat in sigaretrook, sonlig of

chemiese verbindings soos waterstofperoksied gevind word.

Rooibos bied beskerming teen die mutagene deur sy antioksidant-

eienskappe, deurdat dit die anti-oksidantstatus van

die lewer verhoog en die lewerensieme wat kankerwekkende

stowwe in die liggaam afbreek, stimuleer.

Essense Skin Detox

Hi Everyone

Today I will be looking at the Skin Detox.
I have been using this product for almost 2 weeks now and have noticed a huge improvement in blemishes, acne and pigmentation marks.

Helps to prevent adult acne and black heads

Free radicals are generated by the normal metabolism of the body, environmental factors such as pollution, certain medication, and alcohol. The Skin Detox replaces the essential fatty acids of the skin, causing transdermal water replacement in the skin. This counteracts dehydration and forms a water screen against the elements. The skin feels smoother to the touch, cleaner and retains moisture and nourishment.
Testimony: "Skin Detox leaves my skin relaxed, silky soft and heavenly! My skin is evenly toned, soft and I love the moisturised, non-oily feeling after application.” Elmien Goosen

What makes Annique different?

 

Hi Everyone

 

Today I thought I would share with you why Annique is different from other cosmetic brands. So, here we go:

 

Firstly, we only cleanse once a day; preferably at night.

 

Over cleansing distrurbs the pH levels of the skin and can take a mximum of 24 hours to recover.
Use anyone of the recommended skin type cleansers and only rinse with cool rooibos tea in the morning.

Secondly, skin needs moisture, especially dry, mature skin. So here are 2 ways that make Annique even more unique:

 

Moisturiser should be applied as often as possible during the day and here is the difference; it should be 'pressed on' and not rubbed in.



Toner is applied last, after all skin care products and treatments have been applied.

Toner restores the pH levels of the skin and allows for easy absorbtion of products applied.


The Annique Colour Caress make up range forms part of the skin care.

And that is how Annique is different.

For more information regarding these and other Annique products, please leave me a message below.

Annique Products for Anti Ageing

The Forever Young Range

Revitalising Cream

Revitalising Cream - 50ml

Annique's best selling anti-ageing cream helps to restore, renew and rejuvenate skin

It is ideal for the maintenance of a youthful skin and restoration and rejuvenation of aged skin. The Revitalising Cream restores the cells’ ability to retain moisture and stimulates the cells’ own production of collagen and elastin for a faster cell replacement cycle.
Combined with Annique’s Vitamin E Tissue Oil, the Revitalising Cream promotes the healing of scars caused by cuts, burns and acne. Collagen is vital for the creation of new cells, but only the body’s own collagen is effective for the production of new cells. The principal aim of the Revitalising Cream, therefore, is to restore the cell’s ability to produce its own collagen and to help it retain moisture, as though it was a younger skin.
The Revitalising Cream is recommended for any skin type and age. The Revitalising Cream should never be used without an ANNIQUE moisturiser. Combine with the Vitamin E Tissue Oil for aged and dehydrated skins. The Revitalising Cream is a tonic that enhances the function of the other products, and can only be effectively supplemented by other products from Annique. Contains Annique’s exclusive extract of Rooibos for its hypo-allergenic and antioxidant qualities.

 

Q10 Therapy

Co-enzyme Q10 boosts cell energy to help tighten and refine skin

Ageing skin is low in hyaluronic acid and this results in loss of elasticity and sagging skin. Hyaluronic acid also protects the skin against loss of moisture and prevents harmful components from entering the skin.
Evening Primrose Oil retains skin moisture, rejuvenates, re-energises cell metabolism and restores skin elasticity. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps to remove free radicals. Glycosome is a liposome that disperses ingredients to restore intercellular lipid layers of the skin. The moisturising lipids in the liposomes help the upper layers of skin retain moisture and a youthful glow. Lipogard is the most important ingredient. Lipogard provides the essential ingredient coenzyme Q10 forming the essential link in the skin cells’ energy chain. This ingredient also strengthens the skin’s natural immunity. Energy is the key to natural skin rejuvenation – helping skin metabolism go into fast-forward to restructure collagen fibres (tightens skin); to reproduce youthful new cells; to restore blood circulation; and to distribute bio-available nutrients. Rooibos extract adds antioxidants.
Testimonial: “...fine lines, redness, uneven skin tone and pigmentation marks disappeared completely after 6 weeks with Q10 Therapy.” Martie Groenewald

Eye Therapy

15ml

Helps to reduce wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes

Here’s the cosmetological discovery you’ve been waiting for. We all know wrinkles around the eyes are the first step in the ageing battle. Annique’s revolutionary Eye Therapy is a world first with the use of active revitalising ingredients, Ampsyncol III, for the eye zone.

Crème de Nuit

50ml

An old favourite now with VNA 10+

Helps to nourish and repair aged and dehydrated skin even more

Bo-Serum

The botanical extract from cogon grass has a high anti-wrinkle impact and long lasting moisturising effect on the skin. The extract is also high in potassium to help skin transfer and retain moisture more effectively. Your skin needs to be moisturised, relaxed and de-stressed to stay looking young. Bo-Serum contains Annique’s exclusive extract of Rooibos for its hypo-allergenic and antioxidant qualities.

Testimonial: “One morning at work, after about 3 weeks of using Bo-Serum, I saw that I have put two different earrings in my ears. I asked my colleagues to look at me and tell me what is different. Their answer really surprised me. Both of them mentioned the difference they could see in my face (AND NOT THE EARRINGS!), especially my eyes, mouth and cheeks.” Ronél Sadie

Youth Boost

30ml

with Meta-Resveratrol

Youth Boost with Meta-Resveratrol will help lift, firm and restore your skin to appear youthful and full of vitality

RetiniQ

30 Ampoules

Pure vitamin A and C helps to improve skin elasticity and reverse the signs of ageing

A unique, potent skin treatment in a lightweight, velvety base that combines the effectiveness of stable Retinol, Vitamin C , natural Vitamin E with Lycopene.

Rooibos plays a part in reducing stress

During 2012 researchers at the biochemistry department for Stellenbosch University

discovered that Rooibos is able to reduce the production of Cortisol, a steroid

hormone secreted by the adrenal gland also known as a stress hormone, which

may prevent a number of stress-related diseases.

Professor Amanda Swart and her team of researchers from the university, found that

Rooibos contains components that can help alleviate stress and anxiety. Rooibos extracts

and compounds were tested in the laboratory on adrenal cells that were stimulated

to mimic a stress response similar to that which occurs in humans. It was found that

Rooibos lowers the production of Cortisol in the cells.

Aspalathin and Nothofagin, two rare components in Rooibos, were identified as

contributing to the stress-lowering effect. By lowering Cortisol levels, the effect of the

body’s response to stress is also lowered. The findings were published in The Journal of

Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology during 2012.

According to Swart, Cortisol is a significant part of the human metabolism and plays an

important role in the way humans respond to stress. Swart says Cortisol helps regulate fat,

protein and carbohydrate metabolism.

Studies of the consumption of Rooibos in humans have shown the beverage was able

to lower the production of the stress hormone. However, she emphasises that the steroid

hormone can be overproduced due to a stressful lifestyle which is linked to a number of

diseases such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance and Diabetes Type

2. She says keeping Cortisol at normal levels in the blood stream is key to a healthy lifestyle.

According to Marina Joubert, science communicator of the South African Rooibos Council,

Rooibos contains antioxidants that fight against lifestyle diseases and protect the body from

oxidated stress. She says research over the last 10 years has proven the herb can assist in

preventing cancer, protect the liver against disease, boost immune systems, delay ageing, relieve

allergies and treat digestive disorders.

Joubert is however adamant that despite all benefits of the herb, Rooibos should not be

seen as a substitute for medicine and should not be positioned as a medicine but rather,

with its preventative and curative properties as part of a healthy lifestyle.
 

Researchers recommend that six cups of tea should be consumed throughout

the day for Rooibos to be effective. Joubert admits not everyone is able to

drink six cups a day, and says alternative ways of consuming it include

having it in meat dishes, in potjiekos, as a marinade and in fruit

juice.

 

Rooibos

plays a part in reducing stress levels

Rooibos Research_A Multi Wonder

It is well known that the benefits of Rooibos tea extend far beyond the seams of the actual teabag. Worldwide scientific research was done on this indigenous South African herb, Rooibos, over the past 20 years.

Rooibos is believed to quickly replace sodium lost through sweating. The tea has also become a respectable alternative to cold refreshments for sportsmen, manual workers or other people who suffer under high physical strain, due to the proportion of mineral nutrients and micro nutrients in Rooibos.

Flavonoids in Rooibos work as antioxidants - a major protagonist in preventing cancer, as well as in slowing down its progress. Research found that, as a major cause of cancer is damage of the genetic material, the rising level of glutathione associated with Rooibos tea could prevent genetic damages from happening.
Due to a polyphenic-rich extract in Rooibos, this indicates potential for use in cosmeceuticals for sun protection and as part of a strategy for preventing non-melanoma skin cancers in humans.

Scientists believe that antioxidants in Rooibos significantly elevate antioxidant levels in blood, boosting the body’s internal defence system against disease. Antioxidants protect the body from the harmful effects of free radicals.

Studies show that the tea could possibly slow the ageing process, including the progression of dementia.

A study in Japan found that aspalathin in Rooibos tea helped to improve the glucose uptake of muscle cells in type 2 diabetes, thus helping to maintain normal blood sugar levels.

Rooibos can help to fight allergies by boosting the production of cytochrome P450, an important enzyme that helps to metabolise allergens. Japanese researchers found that when Rooibos is consumed regularly as a beverage, it helps to improve allergy status as a result of the increased levels of this enzyme in the body.

Anecdotal evidence also suggests that Rooibos acts as a digestive aid and antispasmodic, thereby relieving stomach cramps and colic in babies, as well as symptoms associated with pancreatic sufferers.

Rooibos is also used to relieve nervous tension and stomach and bowel irritation, easing the painful symptoms of urinary system diseases such as prostatitis and cystitis.

Rooibos helps to soothe skin irritations and is also excellent for skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis or dermatitis. It helps to soothe nappy rash and improves acne. Rooibos tea contains no harmful chemicals or preservatives, which may produce allergic reactions or further skin damage. Rooibos contains zinc, which is essential to the skin’s metabolism, as well as its own natural alphahydroxy acid, which is believed to smooth and refine fine lines and wrinkles.

I love my masks

Importance of Facial Masks

We all girls know very well that only skincare products is NOT enough to our precious face and we would definitely need to add in facial mask routine in our beauty schedule at least ONCE a week.

I came across this beauty tips from a website :- http://www.forever-beauty-tips.com/the-benefits-of-facial-masks.html and it is a good enough basic information that any girl should know about the benefits of using facial mask.

Let me hi-lite some of the importance/essential of using facial mask here :

Facial masks are more than just silly tricks that women try to get their "beauty rest".

They are an important part of skin care. It is recommended that you use a facial mask at least once a week. A weekly facial mask session cannot only help your skin receive moisture, but it can also ease skin disorders thought it is not necessary to go overboard and wear one every night.

Facial masks can be soothing or energizing, and the actions and rituals often involved with applying a facial mask can be an effective stress reliever.

 

 facial mask is generally defined as a substance that is applied to the face, much like smearing on cream.

It is thick, and often resembles clay. Many masks make use of clay or gel as a base, as these will stay in place when applied, and they are generally harmless to most skin types (although gel is used most for sensitive skin, as heavy clay irritate it).

Facial masks are meant to cover the entire face and then remain in place for a few minutes before washing off. The materials in most masks are safe to be washed down the sink.

 

Here are some Annique Favourites
