I’ve seen it scattered across the internet.  Each site rates Athena 7 Minute Lift as its favorite product.  But have you ever noticed that those sites feature products in general made by the same company?  It’s no coincidence.  They created the sites themselves.  I mean the interesting thing is I’ve seen them review a product that had all the right ingredients, and it had all the right ingredients, but it wasn’t theirs.  I’ve seen them take that product down saying there was nothing to prove or suggest that it would work.  Apparently, according to their research or rather lack thereof, peptides don’t actually do anything.  All of those clinical studies were false, faulty, wrong, you get the idea, and obviously, even though the best products list those at the top of the list, that doesn’t mean anything.   On the other hand, they talk about Athena 7 minute lift like it’s the miracle treatment.  Now here’s a real look at Athena 7 Minute Lift.  It has a number of essential oils which get down deep to moisturize the skin.  If you moisturize the skin, you maintain some youth.  The problem is that you don’t actually get rid of wrinkles.  You need to produce more collagen and elastin to actually get rid of wrinkles.  So as much as they like to yell that it does, Athena 7 Minute Lift does not work.

It should be understood that on its own, acai is no miracle ingredient.  In fact, ironically speaking mangosteen has more proven effects, but it is not as publicized.  Blueberries have greater antioxidant content, but of course we like things that are exotic rather than more effective and yet found in your grocery store.  This is why we like the idea that red wine can be drunk because it has reservatrol when grapes have greater levels of reservatrol in all truth and then you don’t have to compete with the alcohol.  That being said, it is high in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.  It has various benefits and could theoretically protect the body and skin from free radicals.  But it should be understood and more importantly remembered that acai does not fight wrinkles.  It prevents wrinkles by fighting free radicals like any other antioxidant.  But it does not produce more collagen and elastin, and it is no more effective than other antioxidants of its kind such as blueberries.  Unfortunately, I would have to say that the only reason acai has been so hyped and received a rating on the top 10 superfoods was not because it has more benefits than others, but rather because you cannot find it in your grocery store or anywhere outside the Amazon. 

Now they have introduced a pill that they call the white tea pill.  They use the old standard ingredient many hyped products use known as acai.  But then they combine it with the white tea leaves from the camellia sinesis plant.  White tea is generally believed to have a lower dose of caffeine than other teas, and it is composed of buds instead of the leaves so much. 

The white tea pill they claim uses the power of white tea and acai to improve your health, reduce your wrinkles, and provide you with a “free trial” of a revolutionary formula.  They claim to have a “free application.”  All of this basic leads to the fact that they want you to sign up for an expensive auto ship program that give you about 15-30 days on average before they start sending you monthly auto ship packages that are just about impossible to actually cancel.  All of this is a common scam, and as such their site has recently been shut down.  But I caution you to watch out for those with unsubstantiated claims as acai and white tea do not affect wrinkles and to watch out for free trial offers.

If you’ve heard that men age at a slower rate in terms of wrinkles, it is true.  There are some men with greater genetic factors yes.  But the simple fact is that men go through fewer risk factors and indicators of wrinkles in general.  Men do not experience menopause.  Menopause has been known to greatly accelerate the aging process for women. 

But at the same point in time, while men essentially have to do it to themselves, they do to some degree.  Men are less likely to use cosmetics, use sunscreen, and otherwise protect and renew their skin.  Men are more likely to participate in high stress activities, and they are less likely to seek medical attention unless they absolutely have to.  They are less likely to eat healthier foods, and men are also less likely to do a lot of the preventative things that women would do in general such as taking 2 baby aspirins after a certain age.  So essentially speaking, while men have a higher rate of avoiding wrinkles, they still need to take the time to invest in the things that would help them along this path, which they are far less likely to do than women for various different reasons, not limited to the idea that this would make them more like women than men.
