If You're a Woman Over 25, You Should Eat These Foods To Prevent Diseases
Do you keep your health care plan in the fridge? It’s not a bad idea actually because if you pick your foods the right way, you can pack heart disease, colon cancer, osteoporosis, and diabetes prevention all in a day’s worth of groceries.
Heart Disease
It kills nearly 500,000 women a year. The American Heart Association warns that heart disease, including stroke, claims more women’s lives than the next six causes of death combined. Yet few women realize their risks for heart disease.
Hip 30-something singer Toni Braxton thought her chests pains were just from parenting stress before she discovered that she had heart disease. While the singer is OK now, she’s getting the word out about heart disease as the spokeswoman for the American Heart Association’s “Go Red For Women” campaign.
If you want to be heart smart, you need to be food wise. For example, according to the Tufts University Health & Nutrition Letter, a diet loaded whole grains may lower your risk of developing heart disease.
Other clinical research from the Archives of Internal Medicines found a link between increased dietary fiber and reduced blood pressure. In short, more fiber my reduce hypertension and thus lower the blood pressure.
Where to get fiber and whole grains:
Apples, grapes, celery, whole grain bread and cereal (make sure that sugar is not a main ingredient), whole-wheat pasta, popcorn, barley, oats and oatmeal, rye, corn, brown rice, bulgur or cracked wheat, and wheat germ
Colon Cancer
The fiber gleaned from a whole oat rich diet also reduces the risks for developing colon cancer. Similarly in animal studies, selenium has shown anti-cancer benefits. Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health noted that calcium limits the development of rectal lesions, which could become cancerous.
Where to get calcium and selenium:
Broccoli, bran, brown rice, cottage cheese, garlic, onion, Brazil nuts, molasses, eggs, yogurt, celery, tahini, kidney beans
Osteoporosis
Are you going scream if someone else tells you to drink your milk to make strong bones? While calcium has hoarded the spotlight for osteoporosis prevention, Dr. Alan R Gaby points out in the Townsend Letter for Doctors & Patients, that magnesium, manganese, and zinc are just as important in the fight against osteoporosis.
Where to get them:
Magnesium: Almonds, bran, oat, hazel nuts, pecans, lentils, sunflower seeds.
Manganese: Avocado, walnuts, pineapple, buckwheat, parsley, spinach
Zinc: Cheese, raw cashews, egg white, sunflower seeds, macadamia nuts, wheat germ
Diabetes
Christine Gerbstadt, M.D., R.D., spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association suggests limiting your risks for diabetes by consuming orange and leafy green veggies. Adding on a high quality fiber rich cereal can also limit your risk for diabetes.
Where to get orange and leafy green veggies:
Spinach, yams, papayas, peppers, rich green varieties of lettuce, lemons, parsley, cilantro.
Here’s a final reason to stash your health care plan in the fridge. A finding presented at the Annual Scientific Session of the American College of Cardiology that analyzed the records from 2,857 heart attack survivors treated at Michigan hospitals found that men had a better chance of surviving after treatment than women.
One reason for this could be that the women receive less one-on-one sessions with the doctors or nurses before going home. The lesson here is to put health in your own hands before you even need to use your health insurance.
Increase your chances of beating heart disease, colon cancer, diabetes, and osteoporosis now. It’s as easy as buying apples, beets, and carrots. I’ll see you in the produce section.

Natural Skin Care Products
The market in beauty products has increased significantly in the last 25 years but in the last 10 years there has been an increasing interest in the ingredients contained within the lotions, creams and potions we apply so liberally to our skin - the largest organ of our human bodies.
Many main stream manufacturers still include a range of not so natural ingredients in their products:
- waste products from the petrochemical industry
- lead and other heavy metals
- products extracted from animal carcasses
Many of these ingredients are given scientific sounding names. While the cynic may say this is a deliberate attempt to confuse the consumer, a more charitable view is that this is done in pursuit of accurate labeling.
As an effect of the heightened awareness of health matters and the confusion concern ingredients and labeling, a new sector of this profitable market has appeared. The necessity for natural skin care and cosmetics.
But just how natural is natural?
Many consumers need natural ingredients but are not prepared to accept the essential compromise in product performance. A classic example is with the ingredient Sodium Lauryl Sulphate. This is a synthetic detergent derived from coconut oil and it appears in a wide range of shampoos, bath products, toothpastes and liquid soaps. It is what gives these products the luxurious bubbles and lather to which we have all become accustomed. A number of reports have suggested that this ingredient is harmful and many consumers now seek products containing an alternative.
Manufacturers then developed Sodium Laureth Sulphate, which is considered less irritating than Sodium Lauryl Sulphate. When this was condemned, Ammonium Laureth Sulphate and Ammonium Lauryl Sulphate were substituted. Once again these are synthetic detergents developed from coconut oil and they are still considered to be an irritant. Some reports have further suggested they may be carcinogenic.
Unless consumers have knowledge of biochemistry it is almost impossible to discern what ingredients are natural and what are not. The SLS saga is but one example of this confusion.
It is ironic that a number of "natural" manufacturers aggressively promote their products by denigrating the products of competing companies - despite the fact that the ingredients they contain are essentially the same.
Consumers need to make themselves aware of the real meanings behind the mysterious names on their cosmetic bottles and jars and educate themselves about the various aliases they are likely to encounter.
Depending on the reasons for wanting to buy natural products, some ingredients may be more acceptable than others. Take Lanolin for example. Lanolin is extracted from the fleece of sheep. It has been shown to contain a large number of chemicals used to kill parasites that may live on the sheep. Many eczema sufferers find that treatment with lanolin-based products - despite the chemicals - helps to reduce symptoms. The advantages of Lanolin treatment outweigh the disadvantage of potential contaminants. This is a value judgment that persons will need to make.
Of course, one of the best ways to ensure that your products are natural is to make them yourself. There are a growing number of companies providing organic based ingredients to facilitate home manufacture of products. Natural cosmetics are surprisingly easy to make in the home using nothing more than regular kitchen equipment. This may be an alternative worth checking-out.
Cellulite Treatment Guide
When you go to the spa or salon there are chances that you have been through treatments that aim to get rid of cellulite. Probably thinking about how nice would be able to do this, but wonder if things are going quite work out that way.
Almost 15 years ago a massage machine was invented in France to help get rid of cellulite. This was first used on horses, but soon enough it was observed that could also work to soften the skin of human beings.
This machine is known as the Endermologie and works easily. It gently vacuums the skin, massages and is aimed at reducing excess fat. In turn, this excess fluid is carried by the lymphatic system and blood.
Although this may seem complicated treatment only takes about 45 minutes to complete. During treatment the patient is placed in an organ storage class, and starts the vacuum. In many cases, this may hurt at first because of the suction is too powerful. If this happens, the force can be adjusted.
The results of this treatment are effective, but unfortunately its a little can cost money. If you're really looking for a way to get rid of cellulite, however, this may be the best way to go.
Another option you may consider is the body wrap-up. This is offered by salons and can be very effective in reducing cellulite. Many people have found that a body wrap-up can reduce cellulite, while also hardening of the skin. Talk about the best of both worlds.
The process of getting a body wrap-up treatment is not difficult. You will have your clothes off, and then will be covered in a treatment fund that is offered by your living room. Each is different in order to request in advance. From here, your body is more or less wrapped like a mummy.
For most body wraps you will be in the same position for an hour or so. When treatment is complete bandages are removed, and you can shower and head outdoors.
There are some ways to get rid of cellulite. If you are interested in this that we want to see the two options mentioned above. You may be surprised at how well this can work for you.
Tips for Natural Skin Care
Our skin is the reflection of our health and vitality, physical, mental and emotional wellness. A radiant and glowing skin indicates good health, positive attitude and vibrates self-confidence. On the other hand, a dull and blemished skin shows an unhealthy body, stressful lifestyle and carelessness towards one’s own personality.
Who doesn’t want to look good, and good looks start with good skin. You may think it’s not such a big issue; there are several products in the market to make the skin beautiful and glowing in a jiffy. But as you use them, you must also be realizing that it is not so. These cosmetic products produce temporary effects on skin, have lots of side effects, and are very costly and not suited to all skin types. Then, what’s the way out? Here’s where we come to our topic of discussion, to care for the skin in a natural way that is natural skin care.
Natural skin care is not just about using skin products produced without chemicals; it’s an ongoing process of a result of a healthy life-style, right diet and off-course right skin products to be applied directly.
First of all, natural way of caring for skin starts with some life-style changes we need to take care of. Getting enough sleep: ‘Beauty sleep’ is not just a saying; its meaning goes far beyond that. As the rest of the body, for healthy skin, sleeping adequately is a must. At least 7 – 8 hours of sleep (hours vary for person to person), ensures a relaxed mind and body, normal blood flow, takes care of all wear and tear during the day, energizes you and brings the glow back in the morning. Dark circles around the eyes, blotchy skin, and lifeless appearance of face are all side effects of not getting enough sleep. So switch off that TV, log-off your laptop, and get from the party on time to catch a good night’s sleep. Get Moving: Now that you’ve got enough sleep, its time for some exercises as well. Be active, walk, jog, exercise, hit the gym, do stretches during office hours too, take the stairs, do anything to keep moving. Inactivity affects the skin by promoting bloating and puffiness, cellulite and loss of muscle tone. Exercise also helps us to relax and de-stress, both necessary for a healthy skin.
Drink lots of water: Water helps to detoxify the body’s system, bathes the cells, eliminates waste products, help in digestion, purify blood and the list goes on and on. The point is to have at least 2 liters of water a day, avoid carbonated and sweetened drinks and have fresh juices and soups as additional source of fluids.
For a shiny and smooth skin, drinking honey mixed in warm water in the morning helps a lot. Secondly, natural way of caring for skin by eating right. Let’s discuss some basic points: Have lots of fiber: Eating food that is rich in fiber help a good digestion and constipation is totally taken care of. This eliminates the root of many skin problems like acne, psoriasis, spotty skin etc. we must have lots of fruits, fresh veggies, whole grains, and salad. The idea is to cut on processed food and fast food because these contain almost no fiber. Eating things in their natural form is the mantra to get the most benefit out of it.
Cut on excess sugar: The more we take sugar, the more sugar enters our bloodstream. Over some time, this results in a process where the glucose molecules damages protein molecule by sticking to it. This causes damage in collagen, cartilage and ligament, thus forming wrinkles. So, the next time, you are adding the second spoon of sugar to your tea/ coffee or going to bite on your favorite sweet…think again!!
Get some good fats: These are the fats needed to build cells, membrane, hormones etc. Lack of the good fat can lead to eczema, acne and dry skin. The sources to get these fats are cold-water fish, walnut oil, flaxseed oil, nuts; also you can try fish oil supplements.
Apart from these basic dietary requirements, we need to have a balanced diet containing Vitamins, Minerals, Proteins, Fats, all essential ingredients which comprises an adequate diet. This is absolutely vital for a healthy body and mind along with a smooth, glowing skin.
Last but not the least, we come to the most interesting part of out discussion. Natural skin care products, to be applied regularly for best results. According to the classic definition of natural skin care products, these are products found and used in their natural or raw form without any chemicals and manufactured in such a way so as to preserve the integrity of the ingredient.
There are many products, which can be bought from the market, manufactured by reputed companies. But best is to spend a little time and prepare some easy recipes for taking care of common skin problems and daily cleansing and toning.
Skin Care Tips:
· Stop using soap on your face (if possible, on body also). Use gram flour and milk to make a paste. Apply it gently and rub a little, then wash off with water. Believe me, it’s much better that any soap!!
· Massage body with mustard oil 10 minutes before bath, and then take a warm bath. Your skin will be moisturized and smooth.
· Massage your body with milk. Milk moisturizes your skin naturally. · For daily cleansing, mix sandal wood powder with rose water and add 4-5 drops of milk in it, then apply on face and body. After 10 minutes, take a warm bath.
· Warm honey and mix with lemon juice, then apply on face. Let it dry, and then wash off with warm water. It refreshes and cleanses your skin.
· For preparing natural bleach, mix lemon juice in milk. Then massage it on your face and body. It bleaches you skin naturally.
· To remove sun-tan, mix cucumber juice with tomato juice, rub on skin, wash off with cold water.
· Mix milk cream with flour, apply that paste on to your skin, then wash off to get a smooth skin.
These are the basic ways of caring for skin naturally. The glow and radiance that comes with the natural care practice is for all to see and is everlasting. Just remember: Beauty is not skin deep…still it starts with the skin!
What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation surgery enhances the shape and size of a woman's breasts, using breast implants. Women choose to have breast augmentation surgery to enhance the contours of their body, to correct loss of breast volume following pregnancy, to make their breasts symmetrical, and for other reasons. With breast augmentation surgery, a woman's bust line can be increased by one or more cup sizes.
At The Plastic Surgery Center of Nashville in Tennessee, we perform breast augmentation surgery with saline breast implants, though silicone breast implants are available to women participating in certain FDA-approved studies.
Breast Augmentation Surgery
At our cosmetic surgery practice in Nashville, Tennessee, breast augmentation surgery is performed with general anesthesia. The breast augmentation surgeon will make the surgical incision along the crease on the underside of the breast or around the areola. The breast augmentation surgeon works through the incision, creating a pocket behind the breast tissue or under the chest muscle to accommodate the breast implant.
Breast augmentation surgery will require an hour to two hours to complete. The incisions will be closed using stitches, though bandages, tape, and gauze may be applied for support and to assist with healing.
After Breast Augmentation Surgery
At The Plastic Surgery Center of Nashville in Tennessee, the breast augmentation surgeon and our staff will monitor your progress after surgery. In order to remove excess fluid, drainage tubes may be inserted for several days. You may feel tired and sore for a few days after breast augmentation surgery, but you should be mobile in one to two days. Gauze and surgical dressing will be removed within a few days, at which time you may change to a soft cup bra. Any sutures that do not dissolve on their own will be removed in seven to 10 days. During the first two weeks, your nipples may experience a burning sensation. This will subside as post-surgical bruising begins to fade. Swelling after breast augmentation surgery may persist for three to five weeks with implants placed under the breast gland. In breast augmentation where the implants are placed under the muscle, swelling may persist significantly longer, approximately three to five months.
Recovery
Most patients return to work a few days after breast augmentation surgery, depending on the amount of activity their job requires. During the first two to three weeks, your breasts will be very sensitive to direct stimulation. If your breasts are no longer sore after three to four weeks, breast contact should be fine. No heavy lifting, pushing, or pulling with the upper body is recommended for at least two weeks after breast augmentation surgery. We discourage any activity that causes an increase in your heart rate or blood pressure for the first two weeks. After breast augmentation surgery, the surgical scars will appear pink and firm for six weeks. The surgical scars may appear to widen or remain the same size for several months. They will eventually fade, though they will not disappear completely. If you should experience any serious complications during your recovery period, contact our Nashville, Tennessee office to speak with a breast augmentation surgeon.
Potential Risks
At our cosmetic surgery office in Nashville, Tennessee, we perform breast augmentation surgery often, and usually achieve excellent results. Yet, as with other types of surgery, there are a number of potential risks.
One of the more common complications following breast augmentation surgery is called capsular contracture, which occurs when the capsule or scar around a breast implant tightens, causing a woman's breast to feel abnormally hard. The condition is treatable. Other complications after breast augmentation surgery that may require a second operation include excessive bleeding or infection. Oversensitive, undersensitive, or numb nipples are other infrequent but possible complications.
There is a chance that a breast implant will break. If a saline breast implant leaks or breaks, the implant will drain completely within a few hours and your body will absorb the salt water harmlessly. If a silicone gel-filled implant breaks, you may not detect the leak if the scar tissue around the breast implant remains intact. If the scar tissue does break or tear, however, the silicone gel may migrate into the surrounding tissue. If a saline or silicone implant breaks, you will require a second operation to replace the leaking implant. If your implant breaks, contact our office in Nashville, Tennessee to speak with a breast augmentation surgeon.
Some breast augmentation patients have experienced symptoms of arthritis-like conditions and immune system diseases. As of now, researchers have found no clear link between symptoms of connective-tissue disorders and silicone breast implants. The FDA is currently conducting further studies on the matter.
Though current evidence does not show a link between breast augmentation surgery and breast cancer, breast implants can alter the way a mammography is performed in order to detect breast cancer. Trained radiologists will need to perform special displacement techniques as breast implants may obscure breast tissue on some views.

Abortion Stops A Beating Heart
Abortion Stops A Beating Heart | |
I believe in the right to life. I believe that there is a human life forming from the moment of conception. I believe anyone who allows or has an abortion is denying the right to life. Abortion is wrong. The Lord has said, "You shall not murder," (Exodus 33:13). The life that is growing within the mother is a child, a baby. There is an entire life forming inside the womb. The woman does have a right; she has a right to conceive. However once she has conceived, then it is now a separate life. The woman then has the right to parent the child or place it for adoption. She should not be given the right to kill it. If abortion is not wrong, if the baby inside of a woman is not a baby why does a woman who has had an abortion grieve afterwards. She is grieving for the loss of life, the baby that she aborted. Abortion not only harms the human being inside of the woman but the woman herself. Why can society not help a woman through this difficult time by giving her alternatives for the life she is carrying inside of her? Why is it ok for our Government to pass a law that determines life is worthless? The fetus is human and if not aborted will grow to be a fully functioning adult if given the right to life. How immortal society has become. People are the only ones who kill their young while still unborn. That human being inside of a woman who can not speak for themselves has a right to be born. No one has a right to kill a human being, so why are we allowing the killing of a human being who is developing with potential. It is unmoral to kill another human being to spare yourself of an inconvenience brought on by your own actions. Because the fetus is human, if left to live, it will result in the birth of a human baby. Where does the mother get the right to kill the human within her? Abortion puts the Woman's personal interests and comfort above the value of life of the human being inside of her. 1. Murder: unlawful premeditated killing of a human being by a human being 2. Embryo.: developing human organism from 4 days after fertilization to the end of the eight week. 3. Fetus Unborn baby; from about seven to eight weeks of development until birth. Prior to that time considered an embryo. 4. Killing To deprive of life 5. Murder: The unlawful killing of one human by another Therefore killing a fetus is murder. The baby is a growing, living human right from the earliest stage. From the moment of conception. What does the bible say? The Bible clearly identifies the unborn baby as a living, human being. Choose life abortion stops a beating heart. About the AuthorPublish Post Rose |

But with positive habits, it is very, very good.
What is a positive habit? A positive habit is just a habit that produces positive effects, actions and attitudes you want to buy and make part of their lives. Why is there such great power in positive habits to effect change? Since habits, by their very nature, are automatic. After a period of time, they may become permanent.
So how do we go about adding new positive habits in our lives? This is really very simple. You just start to repeat the action, attitude or thought process every day for at least 21 days. Studies show that the steps are repeated for a minimum of 21 days is likely to become a permanent habit.

Medications to avoid during pregnancy
Medications to avoid during pregnancy
In seeking to do everything to the developing child, many pregnant women choose a more natural approach during pregnancy, which may also include the use of herbal remedies for various illnesses. In thinking is that because the plants are natural, they are healthier. Usually they are, but some plants are very powerful and should be severely restricted or totally avoided during pregnancy.
During pregnancy, you should be well aware of all that you ingest, regardless of the food and medicine. You know that you should practice a healthy diet during pregnancy. This includes obtaining large quantities of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, a lot of liquids, and extra protein. You know that you should avoid villains as drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and artificial sweeteners, but to avoid grass just does not seem natural. Remember that plants are drugs, and, as with any medicine, should be used with extreme caution during this time. Although considered a natural herbal alternative to conventional medicine, they can also be harmful when taken during pregnancy. Many herbs contain natural steroids, which can affect the development of a child during pregnancy, and even when nursing.

Harsh bitter tinctures, can substantially stimulate digestion and metabolism, and strong laxatives can cause uterine decline.
Like all medications, you should avoid taking any herbs during the first trimester, and use only minimal amounts for short periods of time since then, and then only when necessary. Culinary herbs (basil, oregano, etc.) tend to be safe in small amounts used in cooking, but not in high doses are used for teas. External use herbs, such as Aloe Vera, as a rule, does not represent a problem.
Plant alkaloid
Alkaloids are the most potent of all plant components, they produce a wide range of pharmacological effects. It is best to avoid them all, inter alia, the following: Autumn crocus, Barberry, Blood Root, Borage, Coltsfoot, Comfrey, Ginseng, Golden Seal, Lobeliya, Ma Huang, Mandrake
BITTERS

All strong bitter tinctures should be avoided during pregnancy, inter alia, the following: Angelica, Barberry, Buckbean, Celandine, Feverfew, Gentian, Golden Seal, Mugwort, Rue, Southernwood, Pizhma, Wormwood
