Stretch Marks, a Worldwide Skin Problem that you Might be Suffering From

Even though the miracle of becoming a mother is the greatest one in the world, after the fact, we always have effects that make us remember the process for ever. Stretch mark is one of them.

If you haven’t got them you might not know what they are. Stretch marks are a skin condition that deteriorates the skin and makes it look as if you had torn it from the inside leaving a skin mark that can go from red/pink to white and fade with time but never disappear, not even using the laser treatments which means that stretch marks are permanent but can considerably fade away.

I know you wish we told you about a miracle remedy that will make your stretch mark go away, but so far and with the medicine advancement, it has not yet been discovered the miraculous cure for the stretch marks, although there are some great medications and natural treatments for stretch marks that will help the scars substantially fade away. You see, stretch marks are the kind of scar that we get by tearing the inside of the skin (fibers), and it is so deep that it can’t be restore to its normal appearance and smoothness.

The reason why we get this skin marks is well know by many, your body gets bigger in a short time and the skin does not cope with the growth, it stretches and leaves the unwanted marks for the rest of life. The gaining of weigh due to pregnancy is always one of the main causes to get these marks, also when growing up, kids can get them, but they are more prompt to fade on kids than they are in adults.

In a more formal way of saying it, the capability of skin to stretch is due to the collagen in your skin, when you reduce the production of collagen your skin stretches in an abnormal way and produces the scars. The body generates less collagen when there is an irregular hormone and corticosteroid production, the more hormone and corticosteroid the less collagen. This skin condition is not painful, it can itch a little but it won’t hurt at all.

The main secret to a healthier skin is a balanced diet. Most of us hard working people don’t have the time to keep track of what we ate and what nutrients and minerals were in that meal, we have to advice you on this matter, a healthy diet is a plus in your life so make time and notice what you eat because your health depends a lot on what you eat. The prevention of any skin, or health condition to be more specific, is determined by what we are feeding ourselves with. It is rigorous to have vitamin E, vitamin C, zinc and silica in your daily nutrients intake to help your skin protect itself. The protection of your skin means the protection of your inner organs and tissues.

The intake of water is also a plus if you want to have a healthier life. Water replenishes our body and helps prevent common health issues that we would think needed stronger treatment. Water is a magic ingredient in life. Take enough water and you will see your health improve, whatever it is you are suffering from. The skin needs water, so drink water.

Another suggestion we can give you is massage your skin, use some moisturizer to soften it and help it grow more tissue.

How can I better the stretch marks with natural remedies?

The main natural product that I can personally recommend for skin care is aloe Vera. Not only for the bettering of stretch marks but for any skin condition, like acne, sun burn and further more for stomach problems and the treatment of chest congestions.

Besides the generosity of aloe, other remedies well recommended are: vitamin E lotions, you can ingest vitamin E and that will give you great results as well.

Vitamin E is one the essential vitamins needed for a humans growth, development and well being on a daily basis. This specific vitamin is consumed because of its antioxidant properties. Vitamin E is also essential to enhance the immune system and to help the anti-inflammatory process. It is also known to be involved in the treatment of eye problems, heart diseases and some cancerous diseases.

This wonderful vitamin has actually been clinically proven, through in vitro studies, to be helpful in the prevention of coronary heart disease. It also reduces the accumulation of platelets and clots. This is good for people with coronary heart disease or people who tend to have higher levels of blood pressure. On the other hand, high consumption of vitamin E by people that suffer of low blood pressure and anemia may be hazardous for their health. Vitamin E is related to the development of the retina during an infant’s first years.

Now that we told the uses of vitamin E we will not leave without the sources in which to find the vitamin. It can be found in the following foods: sunflower seeds, tomatoes, spinach, broccoli, mango and the following oils contain vitamin E: corn, sunflower, safflower, olive and wheat germ oil all contain levels of vitamin E. This is the natural way to obtain this vitamin.

The vitamin can also be found in capsules and other artificial capsules. However here in the www.healthhome.com we always encourage you to leave aside the artificial methods of consumption and turn to your natural agents. The artificial agents unlike their natural counterpart will leave some sort of residue in your system due to their “artificial” nature. We are not degrading the importance of consuming the capsules because it is important but we still reiterate the importance of looking for your vitamins in your natural mediums.

Please remember that before the consumption of any vitamin supplement or medicine consult your doctor. We hope this article was of your interest and of your help.
