Femibion for Healthy Bones
2009-09-18 17:07:00
A woman?s life has many stages, and menopause is simply another step on the journey. Unfortunately, one aspect of the ?change? is that your oestrogen levels will fall, which can have consequences for your general health.?Oestrogen? is actually made up of three different types of oestrogen which, together, control just about every stage of your life from your menstrual cycle to your sexual development, and contribute to the wellbeing of your brain, heart, blood vessels, skin and bone. At menopause, because your oestrogen levels can plummet, all of these areas can be affected, particularly your bones.

Acne and Pregnancy
2009-09-08 19:59:00
There are many surprising things that women go through when they are pregnant, and some that are not quite as shocking. What each woman finds out is that they are going to have some things that others have in the way of symptoms, and at the same time, they may have things that they were not prepared for simply because no one else reports those problems. For most, acne and pregnancy go together. This is one of the more common symptoms that women have to put up with when they are expecting a child.Acne and pregnancy comes from the same place that acne at any other time comes from. Though there are some that believe that acne comes from eating greasy foods, this is not the case. It generally comes from the hormones that are going through the body. Not washing the face and neck area enough can contribute, but it is often a combination of the two. When it comes to acne and pregnancy symptoms, this generally comes from the surge of hormones that comes with expecting a new addition to the ...

The Signs of Miscarraige
2009-07-22 01:24:00
When you are trying to start or add to your family, you may or may not have a hard time conceiving. For some, this is the easy part. There are times when women have miscarriages of which they are not aware. Others know that they are having a miscarriage and it can be very hard for them to deal with it. If you know the signs of miscarriage, you can tell when you are having one, and then you know what you can do about it. You can not save that pregnancy, obviously, but it may help you keep a good one in the future.What every woman should know before she starts thinking about the signs of miscarriage is that there is often a good reason why a miscarriage is going to happen. These are the ones that are natural and are actually for the best. At times, the body produces or rather releases a substandard egg. That egg may get fertilized, but it is not viable. That means you would have huge problems if that baby were to be born - if it made it that far. The body will have a miscarriage becau...

Belly Dancing As Exercise
2009-07-15 02:17:00
One of the latest crazes in exercise and losing weight is dancing. There are programs out there for almost any type of dance you can imagine, and it is tailored towards helping someone learn the basic moves so that they can get the exercise they need in a very fun way. The reason these are so successful is because they are so much more fun than sitting on a exercise bike or sweating away on an elliptical machine. Belly dancing is one of the more interesting types of dance you can do, and it goes a long way towards developing your core muscles.You have probably seen belly dancing in movies if you have not seen it in person. Not matter how fit you may be, this dance is not as easy as it looks. In fact, if you take it up as exercise, you may find that you are very sore for a few days after your very first lesson. This works the core muscles in your torso that you use all day long, but it also hits many of the ones that you may not be using. That leads to you feeling like you can go all...

Testosterone and Women
2009-06-15 20:48:00
Review study shows many benefits and few risks with a commonsense approach to testosterone replacement for women.Although sex drive or libido in women is multi-faceted, it?s often closely tied to testosterone levels, and a new review study from researchers at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, published in the journal Maturitas, shows that testosterone replacement can bring many health benefits and few risks.Women with low testosterone often have little or no desire to have sex. Using testosterone replacement therapy may seem like an obvious solution, but some doctors and researchers have been concerned that supplemental testosterone may convert to estrogen and thus create an increased risk of breast and uterine (endometrial) cancers. There has also been concern that testosterone replacement may increase a woman?s risk of heart disease, because men have a higher overall risk for heart disease than women do.Read more

Take up walking for weight loss
2009-06-10 00:09:00
Take up walking for weight loss as a pleasurable, effective adjunct to your diet planAnyone who wants to lose weight knows that exercise goes hand in hand with your goal. Sure, you can lose weight strictly by dieting and cutting your calories. However, if you don't incorporate a regular exercise program into your diet plan, by the time you've lost the pounds, you'll surely notice an unsightly lack of tone in a variety of places. Arms, legs and your waistline will be smaller, but skin hanging off your body in a wrinkly mess is not what you want. Without exercise, it will also take longer to reach your goal. You'll also lose out on the benefits to your cardiovascular system.So many dieters are adverse to the idea of exercise. Even though you may realize that a sedentary lifestyle contributed to your weight gain, you shouldn't think of exercise as a torment. It's easy to make excuses for why you can't take up some form of exercise. You don't have time. You don't like workouts....

Scientific studies show that magnesium supplements can reverse arthritis an
2009-06-03 00:48:00
If you suffer from osteoarthritis, you know how painful, swollen joints can put a damper on everyday activities. Osteoarthritis is characterized as a general wearing out of the joints, due to wear and tear. It is distinguished from rheumatoid arthritis, which is a systemic condition.While there are medications to slow the progress of rheumatoid arthritis, there are none available today for osteoarthritis. Your physician may simply prescribe pain medication to deal with the pain and leave it at that. As anyone with osteoarthritis knows, taking pain pills on an ongoing basis is no way to live.However, many recent studies irrefutably demonstrate that magnesium supplements can not only reverse bone loss, but can actually rebuild your bone tissue. When magnesium supplements, in a 2:3 balanced ratio of calcium-magnesium are taken, bone density has increased by up to a startling 11% in just nine months!Osteoarthritis is just the beginning. Osteoporosis is the next phase, where bone and joi...

Stop Drinking Alcohol
2009-05-26 17:44:00
Whatever people tell you, alcohol is one of the most addictive drugs ever invented, and possibly the most dangerous. Alcohol abuse has been a problem for practically as long as alcohol has been around, and it is a worse problem than with any other drug.Many people struggle in vain for years to stop drinking alcohol, even as the drug destroys their bodies and minds. Drinking rehab is much more popular than any other sort of drug rehab program, and it will only keep growing.In my particular case, my problem drinking was related to drug control. Originally, I used to smoke pot, but it was much easier to get wasted on alcohol.I don't blame the drug policy for my alcohol addiction, but I do see it as a contributing factor. If alcohol is the only way you can get legally, than people who are prone to alcoholism are much more likely to get addicted to it instead of using safer alternatives.There is more to it than that, however. Otherwise, I could have managed to stop drinking alcohol much...

Be a Healthy Woman: Gary Null on Hormone Replacement Therapy
2009-04-03 22:39:00
Nothing illustrates the problem with medication better than the debacle related to hormone replace therapy (HRT). In the 1990s, many doctors began prescribing HRT to help prevent heart disease in women. A Harvard study of about 46,000 female nurses had found that those who had taken HRT had a lower incidence of heart disease by up to 50 percent. However, when that study was more fully investigated, it turned out that the women with lower rates of heart disease were actually women who were healthier in general. Compared to the group who were supposed to have a greater incidence of heart disease, they were wealthier, more likely to exercise, and had better diets; fewer of them had diabetes, and they smoked less. The women who didn?t take HRT were more likely to have diabetes, smoked, were poorer, and didn?t visit their doctors. Also not reported in the study was the fact that the women who took HRT had a 50 percent increase in strokes. This, then, was a flawed, biased study. ?The rati...

Sex among Seniors
2009-02-09 18:06:00
I don’t know why “some people� in the USA are surprised to know that those over the age of 65 still “have sex.� What were they thinking? Do “some people� really believe that the need and desire for sex suddenly evaporates when you hit a certain age? They shouldn’t; history has proven otherwise. It isn’t only the young who are restless. A gynecologist in Victorian England recorded that “ladies, well past their child-bearing years, make their spouses very happy by continuing to be available for intimate pleasures. Sexual activity is even more pleasurable because there is no longer a worry about an unplanned pregnancy.�The sky it seemed was the limit then. Imagine what it is like now as the Boomer generation of the sixties is healthier and more active in all areas of their lives including sex.Read more

Bio-Identical Hormones, Oprah and Some Important Facts
2009-02-06 00:20:00
(We recently asked Sangeeta Pati, FACOG to reflect on the impact of Oprah 's recent shows on HRT and give us her thoughts on bio-identical hormones. Dr. Patti will be presenting an important workshop addressing hormone therapy at the upcoming 17th World Congress on Anti-Aging Medicine in Orlando this spring. At the conference doctors can also commence their Anti-Aging Board Certification training.)Logic dictates that human identical, bio-identical products are the only acceptable products when we are restoring hormones or nutrients. Why use a product that acts like the real thing when you can get the real thing? Oprah's show brings to the forefront of discussion the real need to help women (and I should add men) who suffer from symptoms and the real need for people to continue their quest for better health and options.I would like to comment on three issues that came up during Oprah's recent show on hormone replacement therapy:1.

Rapid menopause can increase the risk of heart disease
2009-02-06 00:06:00
A study conducted by the Los Angeles Atherosclerosis of 203 women between the ages of 45 and 60 determined that those who transitioned from being premenopausal to fully postmenopausal within three years had a greater buildup of fatty plaque in their carotid arteries. This placed them at an increased risk for a higher rate of "preclinical atherosclerosis" – the narrowing of arteries due to thickening of their artery walls.Of the 203 women, 52 were premenopausal, 20 were perimenopausal and 131 were postmenopausal. None had prior cardiac disease. The participants were first evaluated as they entered the study, then again at two 18-month intervals. Evaluations were not made using such subjective factors as hot flashes, but rather on carotid intimal-media thickness (cIMT) measurements and objective measures of menopausal status based on hormone levels and physiologic changes."We know that more fatty plaque accumulation predicts future heart attacks and strokes, but this is our first ve...

Synthesized viper venom provides a promising new antidote to wrinkles
2009-02-02 19:37:00
The primary ingredient in the new face cream is a synthetic version of the poisonous venom from the Temple Viper , a distance cousin of the rattlesnake commonly found in Thailand. According to the manufacturer, amino acids in the venom block nerve signals telling face muscles to contract. This helps stop wrinkles from forming. Snake venom has already been used in a lip-gloss called Lip Venom , which its manufacturer Du Wop says “plumps out the lips.� As Dr. Aamer Khan, Medical Director of the Harley Street Medical Skin Clinic in London, notes: “This could work for somebody who doesn't want injections. The effects are not going to be as dramatic as with Botox. It will also need to be reapplied as the body gets rid of it quickly.� The new face cream, which is sold in 30 ml pots that last about 30 days, has already become a best seller at the upscale British department store chain of Selfridges & Co.

Important Testosterone Information
2009-01-29 18:57:00
Although it’s normal for testosterone levels to drop as men age, low testosterone can affect a man’s health. In many ways, testosterone is the stuff that makes men men. The rush of new testosterone in puberty builds muscle and bone, deepens the voice, and revs up the sex drive. Throughout a man’s life, testosterone maintains his male characteristics.Testosterone levels start to decline at age 30 and decline steadily after age 40. The decline averages about 1% to 2% per year. By middle age and older, virtually all men experience some decline in testosterone. A certain percentage of aging men have testosterone levels far below those considered normal for their age.Is this low testosterone part of normal aging? Is low testosterone a medical problem that needs treatment? The answer is yes and yes.Most men with symptoms of low testosterone will get some benefit from treatment (testosterone replacement therapy or TRT).What is Low Testosterone?In our practice, low testosterone is def...

information provided by http://www.griffinmedical.com/Oprah Winfrey says menopause caught her "off guard" and that she's taking bioidentical hormones that have made a big improvement in how she feels.Bioidentical hormones are one form of therapy for menopausal symptoms. Winfrey, who turns 55 this month, writes in February's edition of O, The Oprah Magazine that she felt "out of kilter" and had "issues" for two years that she suspected were hormonal. Upon a friend's recommendation, Winfrey went to a doctor who specializes in bioidentical hormones.Winfrey writes that the hormone specialist told her that her "hormonal tank was empty" and gave her a prescription for bioidentical estrogen."After one day on bioidentical estrogen, I felt the veil lift," Winfrey writes. "After three days, the sky was bluer, my brain was no longer fuzzy, my memory was sharper. I was literally singing and had a skip in my step."Winfrey isn't recommending bioidentical hormones for every menopausal woman. I...

A Blood Test to Predict Menopause

Any woman approaching her 40s knows that time is not on her side when it comes to fertility. A decade before menopause, her chances for having a child begin to dip. But what if women could pinpoint when they will hit menopause, and figure out exactly how many child-bearing years they have left?That's what scientists in the Netherlands have done. Reporting in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, they report that a simple blood test, for a hormone called anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), could help women predict when they will enter menopause, and therefore how to set their fertility timetable.Read more here
