Whenever I have a question about womens health and don't feel comfortable asking my doctor or polling my friends, I turn to my favorite womens health mag. You'll be amazed at the things you can learn if you read the publication each month...it's almost like having your own personal doctor at your disposal. Also, if you save the magazines over the years, you can always use them as a reference when you need them. For instance, you may not have a question about which kinds of discharge are normal now, but maybe a few months down the road you will. At that point, you'll be happy you saved the magazines.
There are a wide variety of reasons to look to a womens health mag when you have a question about your health or body. Sometimes you can feel like you're asking your doctor a stupid question when you have something you want to talk about. This is usually the case with me, I hate asking questions because I'm afraid I'll look dumb and the answer will be really simple and obvious. I know that doctors have probably been asked every kind of question under the sun, but I still feel more comfortable consulting one of my magazines than asking an expert while red in the face.
Beyond substituting doctor's advice, a womens health mag can help you to do all kinds of things. Usually they have travel sections, so after you've lost ten pounds by following the advice in their workout section you can treat yourself to a nice vacation. They also have recipes, articles on which foods to eat regularly and which to avoid and more. Getting a subscription to a womens health mag might be the best idea you've had in a very long time!

Women Health Tips
ECLINING NUTRITIONAL VALUE IN FRUITS AND VEGETABLES MAY BE A CONCERN.
For years the debate has raged on about the benefits and drawbacks of modern farming techniques. Industrial agriculture or "hyper-farming" has resulted in giant strides in crop yield, but many claim nutrient content - and thus their total nutritional value to humans - has been suffering.
The average yield in terms of bushels per acre for major crops in the US has sky rocketed since the 1950's. Corn is up 342%! Wheat is up 290% while both Soy beans and Alfalfa are up about 170%. Similar sorts of yield gains have occurred in Europe, Australia, Japan and other regions of the world as well.
Data presented by researchers from the Department of Soil Sciences at the University of Wisconsin Madison shows that while these great advances in crop yield have occurred in the last 50 years nutrient content has been under siege and declining. Similarly, a review of data published by the USDA's ARC Nutrient Data Laboratory shows "a sharp decline in the minerals, vitamins and other nutrients in foods since the last comprehensive survey", about 20 years ago.
NEW EVIDENCE ON NUTRIENT DEPLETION
Recent data published by Dr. David Thomas, a primary healthcare practitioner and independent researcher, looked at the difference between UK governments published tables for nutrient content published in 1940 and again in 2002. The comparison was eye-opening. It showed that the iron content of 15 different varieties of meat had decreased 47%. Dairy products had shown similar falls; a 60% drop in iron and up to a 90% drop in copper.
GREATER AVAILABILITY VERSUS LESS VALUE.
It is true that in the modern world of the industrial nations, fruits and vegetables availability is at an all time high. If we want it, it's there. On the other hand despite this increased availability, fruit and vegetable consumption has not increased in the population. Indeed in many population sub-groups it has declined. When this knowledge is coupled to the reported declines in nutrient levels in foods, it has many healthcare providers, scientists, researchers and government officials looking for answers as to how we can hope to sustain the nutritional value and balance of our foods while needing to produce more and more from the same soils to feed an ever-growing population. So far the path ahead is uncertain at best.
NEW STUDIES SHOW PROTECTION CONNECTION BETWEEN TEA, FRUIT AND VEGETABLE CONSUMPTION AND WOMEN'S HEALTH.
Tea and Ovarian Cancer Risk: researchers at the karolinska Institute Division of Nutritional Epidemiology in Stockholm, Sweden conducted a 15 year follow-up study of more than 61,000 women aged 40 to 76. Their evidence, published in the archives of Internal Medicine (2005; 165 (22): 2683-2686) showed that those women who consumed tea on a regular basis had a dramatically lower risk for ovarian cancer. Tea drinkers who averaged less than one cup per day equaled an 18% risk reduction. One or more cups per day provided a 24% risk reduction and 2 or more cups a day showed a 46% risk reduction. As you might expect, these findings prompted the researchers to conclude "Results suggest that tea consumption is associated with a reduced risk of ovarian cancer."
Soy and Women Health: Publishing their work in the January 15, 2006 issue of Cancer Research, a team of researchers from West Forest University, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, USA concluded that soy phytoestrogens may protect against breast cancer risk in post menopausal women. According to researchers from John Hopkins University presenting data at the November 15, 2005 meeting of the American Heart Association, consuming soy protein (20 grams per day for 6 weeks) reduced two strong indicators for coronary heart disease in postmenopausal African American women. The result show that LDL-cholesterol and another cholesterol marker known as LDL-P (P=particle number) were decreased in women taking soy protein, regardless of age or race.

For Women Health Supplements Can Help Treat Specific Conditions
Women, who lead busy, stressful and demanding lives, putting other’s needs first and their own last, should consider taking women health supplements to prevent nutritional deficiencies in their bodies. When considering which of the many supplements for women on the market are best for you, you need to know what nutrients to look for.
All good women health supplements will contain vitamins A, B, C, D, and E. These are essential ingredients. Vitamin C is particularly important for women because it helps to keep both the heart and the immune system healthy. It also lowers blood pressure and raises good cholesterol (HDL) which reduces the risk of heart disease. Vitamin E, also lowers the risk of heart disease and also reduces the risk of stroke. Antioxidants such as Vitamins E, C and A may also lower the risk of cancer and muscle degeneration.
Supplements for women are particularly important because as women age, the hormonal and other physical changes place additional nutritional demands on the body. It is particularly important that women over the age of 50 ensure they are getting enough Vitamin D which will help them absorb calcium which is essential to protect against osteoporosis. While women are going through menopause, it is recommended they take additional vitamin E and B12 than what might normally be in women health supplements.
Supplements for women should also include organic iron. Women need iron in order to produce red blood cells and an iron deficiency cause anemia. Specially formulated, women health supplements are vital to a women’s health. This is because women have very specific health needs which need to be addressed and our modern polluted world and busy lifestyles make it hard to do so. Most women have serious gaps in their nutritional intake. Largely as a result of poor diet and increased stresses on the body, women are increasingly suffering from breast cancer, obesity, osteoporosis, premenstrual syndrome, infertility and skin problems. Pregnancy and menopause also place serious stresses on a woman’s body.
The best supplements for women will include calcium and magnesium which combine to reduce the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. However, if PMS is a particular problem, there are women health supplements available for specific needs. A supplement designed to assist people with PMS should include Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, choline, taurine and herbs such as licorice root, dong quai root and peony root. These ingredients work synergistically to help relieve PMS. Essential fatty acids can also be beneficial to women who suffer from PMS.
Even if you think you are eating well and therefore do not need to take a vitamin and mineral supplement, if you are in one of the following groups you may need to think again:
• Post menopausal women experience a sudden decline in their levels of estrogen which in turn causes an increase in bone loss. Supplements for women containing Calcium and Vitamin D will help to prevent this bone loss.
• Women who have heavy menstruation may have an iron deficiency due to excessive blood loss. This can cause the blood to be low in hemoglobin (anemia) which carries oxygen in the blood to the tissues. Women health supplements containing organic iron can replace the depleted iron and avoid anemia and its effects.
• Women who are trying to become pregnant or who are already pregnant would benefit from taking various women health supplements. In particular, they should ensure their supplements contain calcium, Vitamin D, folate and iron. It is best to start taking a good supplement before getting pregnant.
Women have nutritional needs that are unique to them and cannot be met by just taking a broad-spectrum multi-vitamin supplement. Supplements for women should certainly contain the vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes that we all need, but they should also include ingredients that meet the specific needs of women. You can find women health supplements that are both comprehensive and specific to certain needs.
If you avoid synthetic products, buy a natural broad spectrum women’s supplement, eat a healthy diet, exercise and reduce stress where possible, your health should improve. If you are still experiencing ‘female problems’, look for a specific supplement to meet that need. You won’t look back.

Truth About Cortisone
Cortisone is a steroid hormone. Chemically, it is a corticosteroid closely related to corticosterone.
Production
Cortisone is one of several end products of a process called steroidogenesis.
This process starts with cholesterol which then goes through a series of reactions in the adrenal gland to produce a variety of steroid hormones.
One endproduct of this pathway is cortisol, which is then released from the adrenal gland by ACTH signaling from the anterior pituitary, which is stimulated by corticotropin-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus in the brain.
In the peripheral tissues cortisol is converted to cortisone by 11-beta-steroid dehydrogenase.
Cortisol has much greater glucocorticoid activity than cortisone and thus cortisone can be considered an inactive metabolite of cortisol.
However 11-beta-steroid dehydrogenase can catalyze the reverse reaction as well and thus cortisone is also the inactive precursor molecule of the active hormone cortisol.
Cortisone is activated through hydroxylation of the 11-keto-group by an enzyme called 11-beta-steroid dehydrogenase. The active form, cortisol, is thus sometimes referred to as hydrocortisone.
Effects and uses
Cortisol and adrenaline are the main hormones released by the body as a reaction to stress.
They elevate blood pressure and prepare the body for a fight or flight response.
Cortisone is sometimes used as a drug to treat a variety of ailments.
It can be administered intravenously or cutaneously.
One of cortisone's effects on the body, and a potentially harmful side effect when administered clinically, is the suppression of the immune system.
This could be the explanation for the apparent correlation between high stress and sickness.
The suppression of the immune system may be important in the treatment of inflammatory conditions such as severe IgE-mediated allergies.
Cortisone is less important than a similar steroid cortisol. Cortisol is responsible for 95% of the effects of the glucocorticosteroids while cortisone is about 4 or 5%. Corticosterone is even less important.
Cortisone shots also may leave "dents" in the injection area, in some cases.
History
Cortisone was first discovered by the American chemist Edward Calvin Kendall while a researcher at the Mayo Clinic.
He won the 1950 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine along with Philip S. Hench and Tadeus Reichstein for the discovery of adrenal cortex hormones, their structures, and functions.

Yeast Infection Symptoms In Men and Women
Among the ailments that can really disturb any one’s life we can find, without any doubt and in the very first places, what is known as a yeast infection. This is a very resistant infection caused by fungi that suddenly start reproducing in a huge rate, overgrowing any competitor organisms and invading a part of the body.
The parts of the body that are more easily invaded by yeast are the mouth, sex organs and some areas of the skin. The basic characteristic that favors the high rate of reproduction of fungi in these areas is the moistness, warm temperature and natural existence of these zones of the body.
The main symptoms characteristic of a yeast infection are pretty varied, involving more than just a simple red skin. Among them we can find : Vaginal odor, painful sex or sexual dysfunction, white vaginal discharge, premature aging, arthritis, depression, chronic rashes, tiredness, poor memory, irritability, joint pain, PMS, feeling rundown, digestive problems, muscle aches, short attention span, hand pain, hip and knee pain, continuos headaches, acne problems, respiratory infections, memory loss, immune system weakness, skin problems, cases of impotence, intestinal gas, hand pain, hypoglycemia, menstrual pain, urinary disorders, skin lesions, shortness of breath, food allergies and even learning and memory problems.
As you can see, the contraction of a yeast infection can have serious consequences that can affect your quality of life in a number of ways. That’s why the importance of combating yeast infections since the first symptoms appear. These kind of infections by fungi are not simple to cure but they are totally curable by following the right treatment.

The Law of Cause and Effect: Women's Health
If you continue to have the same habits towards your health, weight, diet, exercise, and fat, than you will continue to live with the same body that you have now, instead of living the ultimate healthy lifestyle that you deserve.
If you are not happy with your life, you need to change what you are doing. You need to stop what isn't working, and find something that will work. If you keep doing the same things you will get the same results. I would like to point out the reason that sometimes we need to change what we are doing if we are not happy with who, and what we are.
'Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result”.
If you find something that works, keep with it. A Football team will keep running a successful play until the other team figures out a way to stop it.
Here are a few simple examples of the Law of Cause and Effect: -If you exercise, you get stronger. -If you eat too much, you’ll get fat. -If you save your money, you’ll become wealthy. -If you don't maintain your car - it breaks down. (Usually at an inconvenient time) -If you spend more than you make, you could end up being a financial slave to a credit card company, lose yourself-respect, or possibly lose your house.
The person who is likely to succeed is a person who in their spare time, takes night classes, home study classes, attends workshops, searches out information to help them achieve their personal goals, and doesn’t give up, no matter how difficult it may seem.
The person who usually fails is the person who comes home from work and spends countless hours watching television, is not motivated, and gives up too easily. They are missing a key ingredient which is a burning desire. This is not something you can purchase, it is something that you can create in yourself, just through positive self talk.
So today I am asking you to make a change in your life! If you are not healthy and happy, and you continue to do the same things that are not working than you are insane. So as Susan Powders would say “Stop The Insanity”. Make a commitment to change and develop the burning desire mindset.

How To Get Rid Of Fishy Vaginal Odor
If you would like to know how to get rid of fishy vaginal odor, you will no doubt be pleased to learn that there are a number of very simple steps you can take which may help eradicate the problem. This is a very common condition-probably more so than we all realize, with over half of all women admitting that this is something which they have had issues with throughout their adult life.
For many women, fishy vaginal odor is a transient thing-it comes and goes occasionally and is often a reaction to various changes in circumstances in our busy lives. For others though, this becomes a persistent problem which cannot be easily shifted and no sooner does it seem to disappear, than it it back again.
Although many might think otherwise, poor hygiene is rarely a problem. To a certain extent, the vagina is self-cleansing and the natural lubricants "manage" the ecosystem by killing off bad bacteria and keeping levels of naturally occurring good bacteria at satisfactory levels. Very often, overwashing can make vaginal odor worse and this is ironic as one of the first things a woman often does in these circumstances is to wash frequently. Unfortunately, this can strip the vagina of its natural lubricants, thus allowing the overgrowth of harmful bacteria which can cause the fishy vaginal odor. It is important to wash only twice daily, using an unperfumed soap. In addition, you should avoid douching and perfumed feminine deodorants.
To get rid of fishy vaginal odor, another tip is to unsure that you wear only cotton panties. Although many of the synthetic materials seem to be made into much more attractive underwear, you should stick to cotton if you are prone to a problem with vaginal odor. Cotton allows the vaginal area to "breathe" whereas synthetic fabrics can trap in heat and moisture, thus creating a perfect environment for bacteria to thrive. Save the pretty panties for occasional wear only.
Another tip is to always ensure that you change your sanitary protection frequently. Although this sounds very obvious, this can be a source of bad smells. In addition, you should always ensure that you remove the last tampon of your period as soon as possible.
Some women have found that taking a bath into which a couple of cups of cider vinegar have been added is very helpful to help get rid of fishy vaginal odor. This can be a particularly useful remedy if you have an accompanying itch or burning.
If these simple measures don't work, or you have had a bad odor for more than a couple of days, it is highly likely that you have a very common condition called bacterial vaginosis-particularly if you have noticed symptoms such as a thin white or gray discharge along with some itching or burning. If this is indeed the case, there is a very simple 3 day cure which gives instant relief.
