There are certainly a million plus reasons to quit smoking: the smell, the cancer risks, the heart disease, etc ... But now there is a new one! If you want to have plastic surgery on your face (and if you've smoked for a long time ... you probably want to), your doctor may insist that you quit before she'll do the procedure. Smoking interferes with the healing process.

This article tells the tale of a woman who repeatedly tried to quit smoking with no success. Until! That is ... her purpose for quitting was vanity. Hooray for that! I don't honestly care what she does with her face, I'm just grateful to have one less smoker in the world. I'm also thrilled that doctors have found a legitimately convincing way to get people to stop.

Imagine a sliced apple, say the health experts at Canyon Ranch. Leave those slices sitting for a bit and before long, they'll turn brown. Oxidation is the cause. And harmful free radicals are the result. Free radicals pull apart molecules in healthy living tissue and eventually cause the apple to dry and shrivel. They can cause human skin to wrinkle and can cause cancer too.

Now don't forgo apples in your diet -- just don't slice and let them brown. But do let the visual of those brown pieces motivate you to choose a rainbow of colorful, antioxidant-rich plant foods to enrich your diet each day. Here's what you need.

I think skin is like hair: you can have "good skin days" and "bad skin days." It's almost impossible to tell which one you'll get until you're up in the morning looking in the mirror, and it seems like inevitably, if you have something special going on, you're skin is at it's worst. But no worries! There are ways to help limit the bad days and encourage the good ones, and things you can do the day before to help ensure you'll be looking your best by morning.

Many of the tips in this article are just good reminders of things you should already know, like sunscreen sunscreen sunscreen! But some others are a little different, like trying to sleep on your back at night (to reduce puffiness and creases) and eating "skin friendly" foods like spinach, blueberries, and salmon.

I think I'll try the special 24 hour skin-friendly diet suggested, but some of the other ideas are just not an option for me. If I couldn't sleep on my side at night I might have less wrinkles over time, but I gaurantee I'd have dark circles the size of dinner plates due to lack of good rest!
