This exercise involves making a fake smile and then jutting your jaw forward so that you can touch the center of your lips together. You should try to use the muscles in the back of your jaw to push your jaw forward. Your lips should only touch in the center. On your last repetition, do the exercise, and hold the position for 20 seconds before releasing. When doing these exercises to get rid of jowls, do your best to focus all of your attention on the muscles around your mouth and around your jaw. You can place each index finger on each side of your mouth to help yourself isolate the muscles in your jaw. Another way to work on the muscles around the jaw line involves making a close-lipped smile and then pushing the jaw forward to contract the muscles underneath the lips and along the jaw line. You can be sure you're doing this correctly by gently placing 2 or 3 fingers from each hand on either side of your mouth, just underneath and to the sides of your lips. With this exercise, it is a good idea to look in the mirror while you do it. This is because you want to try and keep the rest of your muscles in your face as relaxed as possible while you do the exercise. As with the first exercise, when you are on your final repetition, you should hold the exercise for 20 seconds. When you are just starting out, you can pick one exercise to focus on for 2 or 3 weeks, and then switch to a different exercise. This will help target the muscles differently in order to help you get rid of your jowls. You can start with just doing 15 repetitions of each exercise once per day, and move up to doing more repetitions as you feel yourself progressing. At present, there are little to no scientific studies examining the effectiveness of facial exercise as a means of reducing saggy skin. However, just because these studies don't exist does not mean it won't be useful for you. It may work, but it will likely take time and dedication to doing the exercises consistently. Don't expect an overnight fix with this method.

One-sentence summary -- Make a fake smile. Make a squished smile. Change up the exercises. Don't look for scientific evidence supporting facial exercises.

Q: If you do not think you are getting enough nutrients from your diet, consider taking a multivitamin with minerals each day. Talk with your doctor before making any changes to your existing medication regimen, including adding or altering vitamin and mineral products. Taking a multivitamin with minerals helps to ensure you are getting an adequate daily intake of vitamins as well as micronutrients in case your daily diet is not what it should be. Taking large doses of any one vitamin or mineral is not recommended. Large doses of zinc especially are not recommended and can cause an upset stomach. There is evidence that consuming adequate amounts of the micronutrients helps to maintain the natural function of your immune system. These include selenium, zinc, iron, copper, folic acid, vitamins A, B6, E, and C. Selenium is a mineral that has antioxidant properties It is found in foods like Brazil nuts, liver, shellfish, tuna, beef, and chicken. It is being researched for its potential to help your natural immune system fight off the progression of different types of cancer. The research is not related to viral infections like the common cold, but the work is helping scientists to better understand possible ways to boost the immune response to different diseases. Selenium helps the cells in your body with normal metabolism and has been identified as possibly having anti-inflammatory properties considered useful in fighting some diseases, such as some forms of arthritis. Most people get enough selenium from their diet. There is no need to take supplemental selenium unless your doctor feels you are deficient and recommends that you do so. The recommended daily dose is about 55mcg. Taking vitamin A has proven helpful when there is an actual deficiency, but most people get enough vitamin A from diets that contain sweet potatoes, carrots, dark green and leafy vegetables, fish, and fruits. There is no evidence to suggest taking vitamin A is beneficial in helping to fight infections in people that are not vitamin A deficient. Vitamin A plays a role in the treatment of some infections that involve mucosal membranes, which is one way common cold viruses enter the body. Vitamin A influences the production of certain types of T cells. T cells are an important part of how your body's immune system works to fight infections. Both of these B vitamins have been identified as playing a role in fighting off infections. Natural sources of vitamin B2 include dark green and leafy vegetables, dairy products, and nuts. Natural sources of vitamin B6 include seafood and poultry. Vitamin B2, also called riboflavin, has been shown to enhance the immune system in animal studies. Research in humans is ongoing. Vitamin B6, known as pyridoxine, causes the immune system to be suppressed in people that are deficient in this vitamin. Large doses of pyridoxine are not recommended. Supplements are only suggested in low to moderate doses and should be taken by people that are considered deficient. Excess amounts of vitamin B6, or pyridoxine, may actually help cancer tumors to grow. Avoid taking large amounts of vitamin B6 unless your doctor advises you to do so. Natural source of vitamin D include exposure to natural sunlight, seafood, and dairy products. Obtain vitamin E naturally through a diet that includes dark, green, leafy vegetables and nuts. Vitamin D has been shown effective in treating tuberculosis (doctors have long found exposure to sunlight helpful in treating TB), because it triggers an antimicrobial response to the disease. Scientists are researching whether or not the Vitamin D produced by sunlight has the same affect on other diseases like the common cold. Vitamin E has been shown to boost the body's response to certain vaccines. More work is needed to clearly understand this finding. In people over the age of 65, higher than normal vitamin E doses were given following hepatitis B and tetanus vaccines. The vitamin E improved the performance of the vaccines. So far, the results are limited to those two vaccines only, and only in people over age 65. Work in this area is ongoing. It is important to have enough zinc in your diet, but too much zinc can actually interfere with the immune system. Taking zinc within the first 24 hours of developing cold symptoms may help to reduce the severity and the duration of a cold. Do not use intranasal zinc products. Research has linked the intranasal use of zinc to severe side effects, including the loss of the ability to smell. Taking zinc orally can cause gastrointestinal problems, including nausea. Taking zinc for long periods of time can cause some types of mineral deficiencies. Zinc can be obtained by consuming shellfish, lean beef, and liver.
A: Consider taking vitamins and minerals. Make sure selenium is part of your diet. Consider adding vitamin A. Ask your doctor about extra vitamin B2 and B6. Take vitamins D and E. Use zinc.

Article: A hypothesis is an educated guess about the outcome of an experiment. Discuss the air pockets in the soap and ask your child what they think will happen to the soap when it gets heated. Write down the hypothesis before you begin. Can they think of anything else that expands when heated? For instance, both marshmallows and popcorn expand when you heat them up. Ivory soap is special because it has air whipped into it, but other soaps do not. Perform this same experiment with different types of soap and observe the various results with each brand. Avoid heating the soap for longer than 1 minute, as it could burn. Record your results and observations underneath your written hypothesis. Talk about what happened with the soap. Ask your child why the soap expanded and why the air pockets are important. Explain to them that there is water trapped in the air pockets and that gas expands when it is heated. Gases expand because the molecules begin to move quickly when they are heated. This causes them to bounce off of each other and hit the pockets of soap with such force that they expand out. Discuss the differences between the various brands of soap and the reason you see differences in the results.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Talk about a hypothesis. Experiment with different types of soap. Discuss the results.
