1. Hormone Replacement Therapy may trigger higher cancer
risk.
A recent follow-up study to the affects of hormone
replacement therapy suggests new risks for other cancers,
particularly lung tumors, for women who had taken HRT for a
period of 5 years or more. These risks had not been seen
in the original HRT study and were completely unanticipated
as stated by the author of the follow-up analysis.
2. Want beautiful skin - food secrets for beautiful skin
New Findings
A recent study has finding to combat dry skin by adjusting
diet. Lower estrogen levels, which occur with early
menopause symptoms, reduce your body's production of
collagen. Collagen is the substance that's key to having
strong, supple, beautiful skin. How to have beautiful skin?
Eating more omega-3 fatty acids is now a recommended course
of action. These fats strengthen skin cell walls, keeping
the moisture where you need it. Omega-3 fatty acids come
from fish like tuna or salmon. The study further reports
Omega-3 fatty acid supplements may be helpful.
3. Cigarette smoke, whether direct or secondhand, is major
cause of aging and wrinkled skin.
A recent study shows whether you smoke, or spend time with
a smoker, cigarette smoke may be the most damaging to the
aging process and firm elastic skin. Cigarette smoking, or
close proximity to it, significantly increases skin
wrinkles and dryness. The research has found there are two
major reasons for accelerating aging and wrinkled skin.
First is the actual act of smoking and the ingredients in
tobacco that damage the body's ability to fight free
radicals. Secondly, cigarette smoke depletes your body of
vitamin C, which is a key ingredient for keeping the skin
plump and moist. The latest studies show that exposure to
cigarette smoke is actually as damaging to skin as the
exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays. If there is
significant exposure to cigarette smoke and ultraviolet
rays, it will greatly accelerate the aging process.
4. Stress hormones drop by 50% drinking black tea.
A study done by the University College in London England
demonstrated that participants who drank several daily cups
of black tea had their levels of the stress hormone,
cortisol, drop by 47% within one hour.
5. Women's health care study says applying moisturizer
quickly is best.
Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. A recent study from a
noted skin care institute confirms dry skin needs moisture.
Applying moisturizer lotion within 3 minutes of getting
out of the bath or shower is most effective. Contrary to
popular belief, moisturizer lotion does not add moisture to
the skin; it traps existing water in the skin, which
prevents the water from evaporating. To trap water in the
skin from a bath or shower, moisturizer must be applied
within 3 minutes of bathing. Consistently using
moisturizer lotion will decrease dryness and itching.
