Most of the health problems that are specific to women can be traced to their endless cycle of hormones.  Some of us ride natural hormonal changes like crests a wave, while others feel more as though they are being pulled into the undertow!  If you fall into the later group, keep in mind that you have plenty of company.  In fact, estrogen, the name for the primary female hormone, comes from the Latinword oestrus, which means "frenzy" in English.

     For those of you whose hormonal cycles drive you into a frenzy, I have good news:  Alsomost every woman I know who has tried herbs and supportive nutrition gets some relief.  And though natural remedies may involve some trial and error to discover which herbal formula works best for you, finding the right combination will help you move gracefully through most health problems specific to women, from monthly cycles to menopause.  You must be patient, though...it may take a while before you begin to see real improvement.

     Before plunging into an herbal healing program, you need to determine what is wrong.  Your gynecologist or health care clinic can help you do this.  You may even have a local clinic that specializes in female problems.  If you discover that yours is a serious disorder, be sure to work on the treatment with a professional health care practitioner.  Female hormones are indispensable... they help maintain physical and emotional well-being, as well as physical endurance and sex drive.  If you alter their delicate balance, your body will let you know in a variety of ways.  At times, hormonal problems can seem very complicated, since an increase in production of one hormone can lead to a decrease in others.   This can place you on a hormonal seesaw!  To make it even more puzzling, your hormone levels fluctuate throughout the month and even throughout the day.

     Fortunately, herbs can help still the seesaw.  While herbs do not contain the hormones found in our bodies, some of them do contain substances that influence our hormonal activity.  How they do this is not completely understood...in fact, there is much that medical science still has to learn about hormones...but we do know that herbs sometimes mimic, activate or block natural hormonal activity.  And some herbs make your body more or less sensitive to its own hormones.

     Over the years, conflicting information has been written about the risks of caffeine.  Studies have shown that drinking coffee has been tied to pancreatic cancer...high chloesterol...heart attacks...and birth defect.

Reality:  The results of these studies have been called into question by health experts.  That's because people who drink a lot of coffee tend to have other bad habits as well, such as smoking or not exercising---which may be the culprits.

                                                                       Caffeine and Osteoporosis

While caffeine in coffee, tea, cola, chocolate and some medications can cause jitteriness trembling, irritability and insomnia, studies have not substantiated most of the claims about caffeine's negative long-term effects.

Exception:  There appears to be a connection between consuming high levels of caffeine and osteoporosis---the thinning of bones that can lead to hip fractures, especially in older women.  Risk factors for osteoporosis include being female, thin, white-- particularly of Northern European ancestry---or Asian...not exercising...smoking...and having a family history of the disease.

     Premenopausal women should take 1,200 mg/day...postmenopausal women, 1,500 mg/day.  For best absorption, take no more than 500 mg at one time.

                                                                           Caffeine Withdrawal
    People who are accustomed to drinking several cups of coffee a day may find that they develop headaches,  have difficulty concentrating, fatigue and depression.
     If you decide you want to cut down on caffeine, it's best to do so slowly.  Cut back by about 20% a week over a month---or more.  Slowly reducing the amount of caffeine in your system prevents withdrawal reactions.  If headaches or other symptoms develop, increase your consumption slightly, then continue to slowly lower it over time.

     Now doubt you already know that you can often save on costly medications by generic equivalents.  Here are five more cost cutting tricks...

     *Ask for free samples.  Doctors are deluged with drug samples from manufacturers but they don't always distribute these samples to their patients.  
     Ask, and you may get a week or more of a pricey drug for free.
     Caution: Check expiration dates.  Forgo samples that have been sitting around the doctor's office for too long.
     *Use mail order or the Internet...but only when appropriate.  Buying prescriptions by mail or on the Internet can be an economical, convenient way to purchase drugs.  However, many mail-order pharmacies use nonpharmacist to fill prescriptions.
while a pharmacist does do a final check, the volume of drugs being processed is very high--and mistakes are possible.  
     Going the mail-order or Internet route also means you lose the benefit of a face-to-face meeting with your pharmacist--who can warn you about drug interactions or answer your questions on the spot. 


     *Bottom line: If you want to use mail order or the Internet, do so only with drugs you're familiar with--- ideally, drugs you mus t take on a long-term basis.  That way, you reduce your risk of taking the wrong drug or falling victim to unforeseen drug interactions.

     The queen of pretty much everything, Oprah, recently released her Spring Fashion Handbook, and surprisingly enough, there was a section called Retinol Cream: Your Skin’s New Best Friend. The all-knowing Oprah and her team of best friend doctors and skincare pros shared how retinol creams changed their life and outlook on skincare. Today we’re going to tell you why you should be using a retinol cream and which one will change your life! Remember, if Oprah says retinol creams are her new best friend, then retinol creams should be your best friends too!

Retinol creams are made up of retinoids, a retinoid is a tropical form of Vitamin A. Vitamin A is the number one anti-wrinkle ingredient recommended by dermatologists. Its sole purpose is to promote cell turnover. It eliminates the old, bad cells and produces new, plump and healthy cells. Nothing works more effectively at eliminating the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines than retinol. It’s the best anti-aging ingredient. There is no argument to it. Piles of research prove that the vitamin A derivative can really undo wrinkles and even discoloration caused by sun damage.

One of the best things about retinol creams is that you know they’re working from the moment you put it on. Within just a few seconds of application, you’ll notice a small, yet noticeable difference.  Read Full Article: http://www.skincare-research.org/home/retinol-cream/?utm_source=bing-yahoo&utm_medium=c&utm_campaign=(0501-10)&utm_term=best%20anti%20wrinkle%20creams&utm_content=best%20anti%20wrinkle%20creams

If We Haven't Personally Experienced It... We Don't Proclaim it!  But as the above scholars would tell it; vitamin A is the number one anti-wrinkle ingredient Dermatologist would recommend.

We all know adequate protein (especially after a workout) is key to building and repairing muscles, but a high-protein diet may also be the secret to consistent weight loss. In fact, research has shown that doubling your protein intake can help you drop pounds without losing muscle mass. In one study, published in The FASEB Journal, researchers put 39 patients on a weight-loss regimen over 31 days; at first, all participants were on the same diet to maintain their current weight. After 10 days, they were split into three groups following calorie-restricted diets: those who ate the US-recommended daily allowance (RDA) of protein, those who ate twice the RDA of protein, and those who ate three times the RDA of protein. The participants exercised accordingly in order to lose an average of two pounds a week. The researchers found that those who ate double the protein were able to lose fat without losing muscle mass while exercising on the diet. The participants who ate triple the amount of protein didn’t experience any more weight loss than the double group.
