Place the heater at least three feet away from anything that can burn and in a low traffic area so it will not be knocked over or trap you in the event of a fire. Keep the room ventilated (a door open, or a window ajar) to prevent an indoor air pollution problem.
Question: What is elastin?
Answer: When you hear the word elastin, think elastic. This protein is found with collagen in the dermis, and is responsible for giving structure and support to your skin and organs. As with collagen, elastin is affected by time and the elements. Diminished levels of this protein cause your skin to wrinkle and sag.
Question: What is collagen?
Answer: It's responsible for warding off wrinkles and fine lines. Over time, environmental factors and aging diminish your body's ability to produce collagen and can also break down existing collagen. This protein is found with collagen in the dermis, and is responsible for giving structure and support to your skin and organs. Keratin is what forms the rigidity of your skin.
Question: What am I allowed to eat in the Skinny Bitch diet?

If you're interested in trying a vegan diet, talk to your doctor or dietitian to be sure you're meeting your nutritional and health needs.
Question: How is Lewy body dementia (LBD) treated with drugs?
Answer: CT scan or MRI scan of your brain to spot changes caused by other dementias Tests to measure your memory, language skills, or thinking ability Right now, there aren't any drugs that can stop or reverse Lewy body dementia. But medications can help relieve your symptoms for a few months. These drugs include: Drugs that treat thinking problems, including donepezil ( Aricept) and rivastigmine ( Exelon). People with Alzheimer's often take these meds, too. Levodopa ( Dopar, Laradopa) can improve movement problems or rigid limbs. Melatonin or clonazepam ( Klonopin) can ease sleep problems. Some drugs, called neuroleptic or antipsychotic medicines, can treat severe hallucinations or behavior problems for people with Alzheimer's, but they're often not good for people with LBD. They can make some symptoms, such as hallucinations, trouble moving, or thinking problems, much worse. If you need these drugs, your doctor will have to watch you very carefully for bad side effects.
Question: Is there a cure for Lewy body dementia (LBD)?
Answer: Right now, there's no cure for Lewy body dementia. But there are ways to ease symptoms for a while. Scientists are also getting better at understanding the differences between LBD and other conditions.
Question: How can Lewy body dementia (LBD) symptoms be treated other than with medication?
Answer: Besides medications, you can do other things to ease your LBD symptoms: Physical therapy can guide you through exercises that can improve your movements and balance. If you're depressed, anxious, or have other mood problems, consider counseling or psychotherapy. They can help you find ways to handle your emotions. Support groups also are great ways to connect with others who live with LBD. Occupational therapy can help you learn easier ways to handle tasks that are hard to do with LBD. Organizations like the Lewy Body Dementia Association or the Alzheimer's Association can give you more information about dementia and direct you to resources in your area, too.
Question: What are the symptoms of Lewy body dementia (LBD)?
Answer: Not everyone will have the same warning signs. They often depend on the type of LBD you have. They might be mild or get worse at times. Like other types of dementia, LBD causes changes in your thinking, mood, behavior, movement, and sleep. Symptoms include: Thinking Skills: Trouble making decisions, judging distances, multitasking, planning, organizing, or remembering Losing concentration Staring into space Hallucinations Movement: Shuffling or slow walk Balance problems or falling a lot Stiff muscles Tremors or shaking hands Stooped posture Sleep: REM sleep behavior disorder (acting out dreams, including making violent movements during sleep or falling out of bed) Sleeping a lot during the daytime (as much as 2 hours every day) Trouble falling or staying asleep The urge to move your legs when you're at rest, called restless legs syndrome Mood: Depression or lack of interest Anxiety Delusions, such as thinking a relative or friend is an imposter There is no one test that can diagnose LBD.
Question: What are Lewy bodies and how do they cause dementia?
Answer: !s_sensitive, chron ID: $('article embeded_module[type=video][align=top]:eq(0)').attr('chronic_id'), continuous Play: true, cp Options: { flyout: true }, display Ads: true, mode: 'in-article', sticky: true }) }); }); } else { $(function(){ $('.responsive-video-container').remove(); }); } Lewy bodies are clumps of protein that can form in the brain. When they build up, they can cause problems with the way your brain works, including your memory, movement, thinking skills, mood, and behavior. These problems can keep you from doing everyday tasks or taking care of yourself, a condition called dementia.
Question: How is Lewy body dementia (LBD) different from Parkinson's or Alzheimer's?
Answer: LBD may not cause short-term memory loss like Alzheimer's. People with both conditions have trouble with thinking, alertness, and paying attention. But in LBD, those problems come and go. The disease can also cause hallucinations, often in the first few years someone has LBD. People with Alzheimer's usually don't have hallucinations until the later stages. People with LBD also often act out their dreams and make violent movements when they're asleep. It's called REM sleep behavior disorder. Sometimes, it's the first sign that someone has LBD. LBD and Parkinson's disease both cause movement problems, like stiff muscles and tremors. But most people with Parkinson's don't have problems with their thinking and memory (dementia) until the very later stages of their disease. Sometimes, they don't have it at all. In the type of LBD known as Parkinson's disease with dementia, these problems begin much sooner. People with LBD also need different drugs for their condition than the ones that treat Parkinson's or Alzheimer's.
Question: What  causes Lewy body dementia (LBD)?
Answer: Lewy body dementia ( LBD) is one of the most common types of dementia, after Alzheimer's disease. When they build up, they keep your brain from making the right amount of two important chemicals. One of them, called acetylcholine, affects your memory and learning. The other, called dopamine, affects how you move, your mood, and your sleep. Scientists aren't sure what makes Lewy bodies start to build up in the brain. They're also not sure why some people get LBD and others don't. Some health conditions worsen your odds of getting the condition. People with Parkinson's disease or REM sleep behavior disorder have a higher risk of LBD.
Question: Do probiotics and antibiotics help reduce gassiness in individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)?
Answer: Among the foods the diet suggests you stop eating: Apples and apple juice, pears and pear juice, watermelon, mangos, cherries, peaches, plums, apricots, nectarines, and blackberries Asparagus, artichokes, legumes like beans and lentils, sugar snap peas, snow peas, onions, garlic, leeks, cauliflower, mushrooms, celery, and corn Milk, yogurt, soft cheeses like ricotta, cottage cheese, and cream cheese, custard, and ice cream Honey, high-fructose corn syrup, and certain sugar-free gums and candy Wheat and rye Cashews and pistachios One theory about IBS is that the normal blend of helpful bacteria that live in the intestines has been disrupted. Some of them make more gas than others as they help break down your food. People with IBS may have too much of those types of bacteria. Probiotics are supplements that add bacteria to the digestive system to bring back the right balance. Studies on taking probiotics for IBS show some promise. Some people with IBS have reported less gassiness after taking antibiotics. That could be because the drug is killing gas-producing bacteria in your gut.
