- You Really Are What You Eat
- Whether we age with grace, or fight it every step of the way, the fact is we are aging and it is inevitable. However, how we go through the process is a choice. Going through menopause symptoms is just as inevitable, but how we travel that road is also a choice. We can choose to glide through it like a swan on a lake, or fight it like a bass on a line.
- Attitude is Everything
- Menopause is one of those things that every woman will experience in life, provided she lives long enough, no matter what. It's just a fact of life. It's also something that most women don't look forward to.
- Women May Be More Vulnerable To The Detriments of Stress
- To most of us, this seems like common sense. We joke with family and colleagues all the time about it. "Come on," we say when a loved one comes home after a stressful day. "You're going to give yourself a heart attack. Relax!" Workers from high stress, bustling environments, like those in Austin, Dallas, and Houston, can probably relate. Our comforting words may serve a greater purpose than simple solace, however - they may amount to life-saving advice.
- Is The Way You Are Sleeping Killing You?
- Every one of us has a mysterious double life. For about two thirds of the time we are conscious beings, thinking about the world within and without, and negotiating our ways through the obstacles of life. For the other one third of the time we are nearly lifeless lumps of flesh, unconscious to everything but our own fantasies, as we lie flat in bed asleep. We all know that sleep is important for health. But for an activity that consumes about 8 hours of everyday of life, surprisingly little is thought about the act of sleeping, or the way our culture teaches us to sleep. Sleep behavior, like all human activities, is defined by our culture.
- New Theory on the Cause and Prevention of Hot Flashes
- Women in Fiji have it easy, at least when it comes to menopause. We were in Fiji to study bra wearing and breast cancer, but took advantage of the opportunity of being with these non-western people to ask about the way local women experienced the symptoms of menopause. Margaret Mead, the famous cultural anthropologist, discovered that the discomforts young western women often associate with the "coming of age" were mostly absent for Samoan women. As medical anthropologists, we wondered if the coming "out of age" was any different for Fijian women than for those in the west who complain of various symptoms, such as hot flashes and profuse sweating.
- Did You Remember to Take Your Ginkgo Biloba?
- With all the hormone replacement therapies and other treatments that are prescribed or bought over the counter to treat poor memory during menopause, it's good to know that "ginkgo biloba", better known as "ginkgo", is available. For decades, ginkgo has been used to treat a wide array of menopause symptoms, with memory being the predominant one, and ginkgo is one of the few treatments, if not the only one, that has relatively no side effects and yet, it has substantiated itself by improving those things it is used for.
- How To Heal A Urinary Tract Infection With Water
- Urinary tract infections are quite common and account for more than seven million doctor visits each year. The pain, burning, and interruption of normal living in having a UTI is a very real, painful, and private matter. Embarrassing, though it may be, do not be lulled into ignoring it. A simple UTI when caught early is not that dangerous. However, complications can occur if you can not get rid of it on your own. Be sure to treat it quickly and appropriately. A UTI can quickly spread and infect the kidneys. Kidney infections are a very serious issue, because the sufferer can go into septic shock from such an infection.
- Menopause And Breast Pain
- Whenever a woman has breast pain her mind automatically jumps ahead to assume the worse. In our lifetime we were taught that when we are experiencing a pain that there is obviously something wrong with that general area. It almost seems like it is human nature for one to jump to conclusions when it comes to pain. Normally when a woman is experiencing breast pain it is only due to one thing and that is menopause.
- Menopause and Caffeine
- Women and men can share the same types of illnesses such as cancer and pneumonia, but women's bodies are way different from men's bodies. Women can develop health problems that men are not able to develop. Some women develop problems with their sexual organs whereas other women may develop problems with their hormonal systems. Whatever the problem is, menopause is a pretty big change in a woman's life. It can be like a roller coaster ride, but if you want to go through menopause a bit smoother you may want to avoid menopause and caffeine in the same sentence.
- Weight Gain and Post Menopause
- Women should not jump to conclusions and fret too much about this. Women experiencing weight gain and post
menopause is quite normal. The thing is that around two-thirds of females suffer from the weight gain during menopause. Another thing is that the distribution of the weight is usually around-the middle.
