Every Woman Deserves a private area in her home

Every woman deserves an area in her home that is entirely hers. If you do not have that space, begin to create one. It will be your own laboratory, where you can establish a home “spa.”This area will be the one place you will use to store your own ideas and creations.

Do-It-Yourself Mouthwashes

Tea Wash

Boil a strong cup of mint (peppermint, spearmint, etc.) tea. Cool and rinse.

Honey/Clove Rinse

Mix 1/4 cup of honey with 1 teaspoon of ground cloves. This mouthwash can be thinned down if desired.

Take Care Of Your Feet

When purchasing a heel higher than one inch, go up a half size. There’s some natural swelling that occurs that necessitates advancing at least half a size in order to accommodate the toe area. This is one time when smaller is not more attractive. A tight shoe bulges the foot out, not to mention what it does for the wearer’s expression. A larger shoe actually gives the foot a longer, more graceful line.

Change Shoes

Try not to wear the same pair of shoes two days in a row. Give them at least 24 hours to air out.

Use an Antiperspirant

The foot contains more sweat glands than the underarm area. Don’t waste that precious money on expensive foot powders and other foot remedies. Not only is this cosmetically important, but it is key in keeping bacteria at bay.

Soak Your Feet

At least once a week, steep 4 tea bags (purchase an inexpensive brand because it will contain a larger content of tannic acid) in 2 cups of boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Add 2 cups of cool water. Soak for up to 30 minutes. Note: Don’t use herbal tea because it’s the tannic acid that will cause proteins in the skin to bond. This thickens the skin and blocks many of its sweat pores.

Always wear a bra

The Healthy Breasts

Wear a Bra

The chest muscles don’t provide enough support to go braless, no matter how small your breasts are. Keep your weight constant. You can take all natural weight loss pills to control your weight. Yo-yo dieting can cause the breasts to sag.
When trying on a bra, lean way over to make sure breasts fit snugly and comfortably in cups.

Exercise in the Proper Bra

If your breasts feel tender after a workout, you’re probably not wearing a bra that is supportive enough.
A sports bra should be made of material that prevents sweat from gathering underneath and between the breasts.

Make sure that the straps don’t slip while running or jumping.

Perspiration

Clean your cleavage area dry by dusting with talcum pwoder

Perspiration can collect in the cleavage and especially under the bust. Keep the area dry by dusting the breasts with talcum powder before dressing.

Bulges

Should you find yourself “pouring out” of your bra, choose a style with more support at the sides and underneath.

Bathing

The beauty benefits of bathing are many. Use this time as a restorative, a spa, and personal time.

Beauty Benefits Of Bathing

Temperature

Keep water warm, rather than hot. A too-hot bath strips the skin of moisture and will leave you feeling dehydrated.

Additives

-TEA
Tie a tea bag under the faucet so that the water will run through the bag. Use your favorite herbal teas, which will scent the water and you. The aroma will relax and invigorate you.

-alka-seltzer

Toss a tablet into your tub and your bath will fill up with tiny bubbles, skin softeners, and other good things.

-baby oil

Soften water and your skin to silken elegance with a splash of baby oil

Other Intimate Information

Hair Removal

Getting rid of hair is so much fun, isn’t it? Here are some pointers that I hope will make the job a bit less tedious.

Don’t shave right after getting out of bed. Skin tends to be puffy in the morning, and stubble is not as visible. Try to wait a half hour if you can.

Make sure hair is well-moistened. Use shaving cream, soap, or other softener.

Start at ankles, go to bikini line, and then to underarms. This gives coarser hair a chance to soften.

Avoid getting waxed just before or during your period. You are more sensitive to pain at this time.

Tweeze hair in the tub. It’s easier to tweeze when skin’s warm and soft.

Shave opposite hair growth. It prevents hairs from curling under the skin and becoming ingrown.

Numb areas with witch hazel or ice to lessen pain.

Bikini line hair removal is pesky, painful and pricey

-the bikini area

The bikini line can be difficult to shave because the hair grows in so many different directions. Always prepare the skin with soap and water. Don’t stop shaving the bikini area just because the colder months have set in and you’ve stopped wearing a bathing suit. Discontinuing to shave this area will cause it to become overly sensitive. So when the warmer months return, you’ll literally have to “break in” that area again. Ouch!

Some women choose to shave or trim their pubic hair for hygienic purposes as well as appearance. Use caution when doing so. Use small scissors for safety. Don’t shave your bikini line before going to the beach if you’re skin is prone to irritation. You risk a rash or mottled skin.

-underarms

Hair also grows in different directions in the underarm area. Teach yourself to shave up and down and sideways. Always prep this area thoroughly.

-loofah your legs

Try to give your legs a light scrub with a loofah before you shave them. This will get rid of all the excess dead skin cells that may otherwise clog up your razor. If you use a double-edge razor, then switch to a single-edge one.

Deodorants

There are more deodorants on the market than ever. The skinny on deodorants is that there’s a lot of hype in the marketing. Sweat is sweat, whether it’s on a man or woman. Models don’t want to lose big jobs by ruining a designer dress with perspiration. You won’t find any fancy, delicate flowery deodorants in a model’s bag. Go get the strongest (yes, the ones made for a man) antiperspirant that you can find, and forget about the fancy, overpriced, weak stuff.

Bloat

If you have a tendency toward excess bloating, don’t chew gum, sip through a straw, or drink from a bottle. These cause you to swallow air, which goes to your stomach.

Baring Skin

Make sure to wash after shampooing and conditioning your hair. Hair products leave a residue of oil on your shoulders and back.
Always wear sunscreen on exposed chest and back areas.

Cellulite

The methods of getting rid of cellulite are controversial to say the least. The cottage cheese that seems to gather on the back of the thighs and other spots are best eliminated by working it off in an aerobic program. Spot exercises fail miserably. Running, walking, dancing, swimming, and skating rev up the body’s metabolism for burning fat throughout the body.

Work off cellulite in your tub. Lie on your stomach, bend one knee, raise and lower heel to the ceiling. Try not to drown doing this exercise.

Some cellulite marks that are unsightly can be diminished with massage. Break open a vitamin E capsule with a safety pin (1,000 units) and rub into those pesky areas.

When we don’t get enough sleep, we don’t look well. Most of us need at least eight hours of uninterrupted sleep.

Sleep For Beauty

There can be no doubt about it. When we don’t get enough sleep, we don’t look well. Most of us need at least eight hours of uninterrupted sleep. Tossing and turning or awakening several times a night is detrimental not only to your looks, but to your overall psyche. Unfortunately, it’s not always so easy to fall asleep and stay asleep. But there are ways to put the odds in your favor.

Melatonin

This is the supplement you’ve been reading about, “nature’s sleeping pill.” Taken twenty minutes before bedtime, melatonin is certainly worth a try. Some users have expressed concern about nightmarish dreams, while others have praised the vivid, lucid dreams they have been experiencing. Although still controversial, this supplement has also been linked to anti-aging properties.

Eat Early

There are very important reasons not to eat past 5 or 6 p.m. Late-night eating makes for difficulty in sleeping. You will end up wide awake, while your body is trying to digest your last meal. If you’ve eaten certain kinds of foods, you’ll experience painful heartburn. Plus, as every successful dieter knows, those late meals are not good for weight reduction.

Scent your pillow with a few drops of eucalyptus before sleeping

Scent Your Pillow

Add a few drops of eucalyptus (available at health stores and natural supermarkets) to promote breathing. Stuffy nasal passages, whether due to a cold, flu, or allergies, can cause you to awaken during the night. Scientists have discovered that when you have a cold, you awaken up to a hundred times, although you may not be aware of it.

Drink Tea

Several teas on the market today have been found to be helpful in inducing sleep. Although chamomile tea promotes sleep, it’s also a diuretic, defeating its purpose.

Set Your Clock

Try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day, including weekends. Your body will try to adjust to a regular schedule. Sleeping in on weekends will disrupt your body’s inner clock.

Sleeping on Your Back

Here’s an age-old beauty secret that you won’t pay a cent for, but could save you dozens of wrinkles over the years. Wrinkles form on the side you sleep on. If you can’t train yourself to remain on your back, invest in a satin pillow. Your face is going to slide around all night on this pillowcase, discouraging the wrinkling effect.

Wash off your makeup before sleeping

Keep It Cool

In an offbeat way, a slightly cool room is in fact, a beauty treatment. A room that is too hot can cause you to perspire. This increases oil production, which clogs the skin’s pores. Equally important is to sleep on (and in) bed clothing that “breathes.”

Get Plenty of Exercise

Although going through a rigorous workout routine just before bed can keep you awake, regular exercise may help you to sleep longer and more soundly. If you should find yourself “wired,” do some easy stretching to relax and soothe your muscles and promote those zzzz’s.

Wash Off Your Makeup

Please remove every bit of face and eye makeup before getting into bed. Failing to do so can cause bacteria build up and acne.

Take a Bath

A warm bath will relax the body into a “ready for sleep” mode. Use bathing as a prelude to a night of beautiful dreams.

Get Gorgeous

Use the heaviest moisturizer you can find to make up for the loss of water during the night. Fight free radicals during the night by puncturing a vitamin C capsule and adding it to your night cream. Elevate your head with a firm pillow to eliminate puffiness.

Why don’t more of us make it to even a hundred years? The reasons are varied, but nearly all of us experience life-shortening disease states while our cells still have the capacity to keep dividing and re-creating themselves, ones such as heart disease and cancer.

Thus, while it may not be possible to change your cells’ preprogramming, prevention or better treatment of these diseases, if they occur, will allow you to come closer to your  unique Hayflick limit.

In the United States, the average person lives into his or her seventies, at least four decades short of the potential maximum age. Once you reach the age of seventy, your life expectancy is greater than average Table, particularly if you are healthy.

If you live to be eighty, you can revel in the fact that you have outlived most of your  physicians.

SCIENCE OF STAYING YOUNG: EAT FISH, ALCOHOL AND MORE…

Drink alcohol in moderation. One or two per day.

Nutritional Guidelines for Good Health and Longevity

• Improve the heart-healthiness of your diet. Both French fare and a Mediterranean diet offer distinct health benefits. Particularly, the latter diet with its high content of olive oil, fish,and red wine is heart healthy.
• Eat fish at least four times per week. An increased intake of essential omega-3 fats may reduce your risk of heart disease, memory loss, and other health problems. Good types of omega-3-rich fish include salmon, mackerel, sardines, and herring. (If you can’t or won’t eat fish, consider using fish oil supplements.)
• Drink alcohol in moderation. One to two alcoholic drinks per day appear to be more benefi cial than none, but don’t drink in excess of this amount.
• Eat at least three to five vegetables and two to three fruits a day. Choose colorful fresh or frozen produce, and eat whole fruits rather than drinking juices that lack fiber.
• Increase fiber-rich foods in your diet. Fiber lowers blood sugar levels and cholesterol. Good sources include berries, dried beans, prunes, whole wheat bread, brown rice, bran, fruit, vegetables, and nuts.
• Drink plenty of liquids. Try to drink at least four to six glasses of liquid each day, and eat foods with higher water content, like melons and vegetables.
• Spice up your foods. Onions, turmeric, black pepper, cinnamon, ginger, thyme, cumin, oregano, basil, sage, curry, and garlic all have positive effects on health.
• Eat more yogurt. The probiotic effect of yogurt with live cultures may improve your health by preventing illness and limiting inflammation.
• Consider using select herbal or other remedies. A limited number of herbal preparations may be effective in treating specific problems, such as ginger for vertigo and alpha-lipoic acid for diabetic neuropathy and possibly memory loss.

Exercise More, Think Better

Exercise regularly to stay fit

Exercise has payoffs for the mind, too, as it can improve feelings of overall well-being, along with reducing stress and depression.

Many people who feel lethargic or drained all the time are generally just out of shape. Exercising makes you feel tired while you’re doing it, but its longer-lasting effect is the reverse: it enhances your overall energy levels. Likewise, movement lowers your mental stress. Just getting up from your desk and work when you’re stressed out and going for a short walk can clear your mind, improve your mood, and enhance your productivity when you return to the task at hand. Studies have also shown that exercise is an effective remedy for mild to moderate depression and possibly major depressive disorder as long as the activity is continued over time.

What’s more, it appears to reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia that have recently begun appearing at earlier ages in many adults, even well before retirement age. For older individuals, exercise clearly improves brain function. For example, in a study of 1,740 adults over sixty-five years of age who were followed for more than six years, individuals who exercised three times a week were a third less likely to develop dementia. However, even in younger individuals, regular exercise is associated with less brain atrophy, or shrinkage, and even as little as six months of regular aerobic training can reduce your rate of brain loss.

Any activity increases blood fl ow and oxygen delivery to your brain and results in a reduced cell loss in the part of your brain called the hippocampus, which is the region associated with memory and spatial navigation. Not only can activity delay or prevent dementia, it may be able to restore some of what you’ve lost mentally. Thus you need to exercise to keep from losing your brain, but also if you’ve already lost some of it.

Importance Of Vitamin D for Staying Younger?

Although the majority of vitamin D is made in your skin through exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun (normally supplying about 90 percent of your daily needs), the level of this vitamin in the body becomes lower with each passing decade, even in very healthy people living an outdoor lifestyle. It has even been found to be low in many individuals taking small doses of vitamin D as part of a multivitamin pill.

Vitamin D’s importance for staying younger for longer can’t be overstated. The only vitamin that acts as a hormone, vitamin D’s most important effect is its ability to work with calcium to enhance bone mineral deposits that strengthen bones and prevent hip and other fractures, making it a key hormone for maintenance of bone integrity. As recommended earliar, women older than fi fty and men older than sixty should consume at least 800 international units (IU) of this vitamin daily, together with a total calcium intake of at least 1,000 mg (preferably 1,500 for postmenopausal women) every day. Even when taking 800 IU of vitamin D a day, some older individuals fail to have adequate levels of it in their bloodstream. A normal blood level of 25-hydroxy vitamin D (the precursor to the active form) is 30 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). Get your level measured to make sure it is at least that high, as lower levels can result in muscular weakness and increased risk of falling.

Vitamin D replacement can strengthen your bones, muscles, and body. In addition, it can improve your immune system, thus protecting you from infections, cancer, and even diabetes. Onset of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes has been linked to a defi ciency of this vitamin, at least for some individuals. But avoid taking an excess of vitamin D, as doing so can lead to elevated calcium levels and result in high blood pressure, cognitive problems, and weakness. Up to about 10,000 IU may be safe for most individuals, which is impossible to get through food intake and sunlight exposure alone and hard to reach even with normal levels of supplementation.

“Vitamin D is likely the most important hormone you have in your body. Take in adequate amounts in supplement form (800 IU), along with calcium (1,000 to 1,500 mg), to maintain bone health, immune function, a healthy heart, and more.”

Stay Active For Sharper Mind

Whether you’re still creative or not, you’re likely to experience a decrease in your ability to learn and remember things as you age. For instance, a study of Harvard physicians found that between forty and seventy years of age, most of them experienced an approximate 18 percent decrease in this ability. While the extent of changes in learning ability varies widely from person to person, everyone shows some degree of decline over time, along with reductions in skills like riding a bike or judging distances accurately.

The most common causes of normal memory loss are stress and anxiety, followed by depression, all of which are considered reversible. Only after these emotional states are eliminated would other medical conditions be considered as potential causes, and Alzheimer’s disease would actually be far down the list. Most older adults who complain about memory loss do not have Alzheimer’s disease; rather, many are either experiencing normal forgetfulness or suffering from mild mental impairment, depression, stress, anxiety, fatigue, lack of sufficient sleep, or other medical issues (such as a prior head trauma resulting in unconsciousness) that are impacting their short-term memory.

“Everyone experiences a decreased ability to learn and memorize things over time, but while some degree of forgetfulness is normal, memory loss is not usual. For instance, it would not be concerning to forget the name of a movie you saw last weekend, but you shouldn’t forget that you saw a movie at all.”

Maintain A Stable Weight

Too fat, too thin, just right—how do you know where your body weight falls? We are continually bombarded with messages about how fat Americans have become and how bad this weight gain is for our nation’s health. Interestingly, while the United States became the fattest nation in the world during the twentieth century, our average life span still increased by twenty-seven years. This conundrum makes us realize that nothing is ever quite what it appears or is as simple as we would like it to be. In some cases, weight loss can be good (if it’s fat weight alone), but it can also be bad if what you’re losing is your muscle mass instead. In fact, sarcopenia, the medical term for muscle wasting, can vastly decrease your quality of life and make you feel older than you actually are.

This important step lets you know how to tell if your body weight is appropriate. It additionally gives practical suggestions to help you maintain a healthy and stable weight, primarily through increased physical activity and early medical interventions, the goal of which is to make you look and feel as good as possible at any age.

Good and Bad News About Your Weight

The good news is that as you get older, being slightly overweight may actually improve how long and well you live. However, we’re certainly not advising you to allow yourself to sit around and gain weight, since the bad news is that for adults in their middle years,expanding waistlines are associated with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. Excess body fat has become the “wicked witch” of modern medicine. We contend, however, that body fat has gotten a bad rap that it likely does not fully deserve. In fact, after sixty years of age, significant weight loss is actually bad for most people and usually not recommended.

Body fat is a powerfully active metabolic tissue in the body that produces a variety of hormones, such as leptin and adiponectin, as well as cytokines that can be both good and bad (more on these later). Although excess fat is often directly blamed for type 2 diabetes onset, a minor loss of weight (only 5 to 7 percent of your total weight, equivalent to about ten or so pounds for a two-hundred-pound person) can vastly improve blood glucose levels and overall diabetes control, as long as what you lose is body fat and not muscle. What’s more, people without much subcutaneous fat (located right below the skin’s surface) often develop a condition known as lipoatrophic diabetes, a type of diabetes caused by having too little fat.

In addition to having important metabolic activity, fat plays an important role in protecting your vital organs. Likewise, a fatty cushion around your hips helps protect them from being fractured if you fall. It also acts as insulation, keeping you warm in colder environments.

Perhaps most important, fat acts as a storage organ, just as the camel’s hump allows it to travel long distances without eating or drinking, which can be vitally important if you suffer through a prolonged illness or long stay in the hospital at any point in your life.

SO TO SUMMARIZE ….

Putting It All Together

Whether robotics or other technological advances are in your health-related future or not, congratulations are in order! So, you now have the knowledge to help you live your life to the max, all while enjoying a more youthful body and improved health. Immortality, if you should find a way to achieve it, is irrelevant if you don’t have your health. Unfortunately, you still have to put the easy steps suggested here into practice to live well, and changing lifelong habits can be a bit challenging. In anticipation of your need for a refresher from time to time, we have summarized the main points of our basic prescription for a long and happy life, as follows:

• Eat fish at least four times a week, and if you have elevated cholesterol or heart disease, also consider taking fish oil supplements daily.

• Drink no more than one to two glasses of red wine or other alcoholic beveraages each day.

• Eat adequate amounts of protein and calories, along with plenty of tea, fiber, and antioxidant-rich foods such as whole grains, leafy vegetables, legumes, spices, and dark chocolate.

• Exercise for thirty minutes daily, making sure that you do all five kinds of exercise (endurance, resistance, balance, flexibility, and posture) each week.

• Take 1,000 to 1,200 milligrams of calcium and 800 international units of vitamin D from age fifty onward if female, age sixty-fIve onward if male, and have your bone mineral density and vitamin D levels measured regularly.

• For women having hot flashes, take low-dose estradiol (estrogen supplement) and a natural progestin for five years, and if you have your ovaries removed, take just the estrogen until you reach age fifty-five.

• For men, check your ADAM score, and if it’s positive, get screened for depression, have your bioavailable testosterone level measured, and consider taking testosterone supplements if it’s low.

• If you’re having memory problems, consider taking 600 milligrams of alpha-lipoic acid daily, but also do frequent memory exercises to sharpen your mind.

• Keep active and happy, maintain a positive spiritual life, and if you enjoy organized religion, go to church regularly— rather than watching televangelists from home.

• Aim to keep your weight stable, since neither large amounts of weight gain nor of weight loss is good for you as you age.

• Make sure your physician measures your good-bad cholesterol (large, fluffy LDL), and if this component explains why your total cholesterol level is high, don’t have it lowered

too much with medications. If your cholesterol is elevated from sd LDL, the bad-bad kind, however, then medications will help protect your vessels.

• If you’re at high risk for certain types of cancer or other health problems and screening tests are available, get screened regularly to detect problems early.

• Enhance your exercise time with spontaneous physical activity (SPA) to prevent falls and frailty.

Most of all, remember that your ultimate goal is to maintain optimal health, a younger biological age, and a high quality of life for as long as you live, which shouldn’t be a problem now that you have at your fingertips the most up-to-date information possible on how to do so. Question your doctor’s opinion, continue to educate yourself, be your own advocate, enjoy life, and smile your way to the century mark and beyond!

Watch out for PART2 of this article (coming soon….) …..

Your breasts start growing when you begin puberty. Puberty is the name for the time when your body goes through changes and you begin to go from being a child to an adult. During puberty the hormone levels in your body change and this causes your breasts to develop and your menstrual periods to start. It takes three to five years from the time your breasts start growing until they reach their full size.

Heredity is the most important factor in determining breast shape and size. An important thing to note down is “No creams, exercises, or clothing will change your breast size.”

It’s strange how bust sizes are getting bigger, thats too at a younger age although it’s difficult to tell which breasts are natural and which are false.
It must be down to all this processed food and sugary sweets that young people eat today. Many parents who look at their daughter’s breasts and wonder where they have come from.

“Young girls wore vests, not bras, when we were growing up and I didn’t buy a bra until I was 15. We definitely noticed that young girls today are lucky enough to have the sort of ample bosom that the old generation could only have dreamed of.”

Most experts blame this on an overall weight. If women of the ’50s displayed 27.5in (70 cm) waist, the modern average is 34in (85 cm). Some experts says, “The larger we become overall, then the larger women’s breasts will become. Breasts are increasing because women today have a higher proportion of fat in their breasts than they used to,”

The structure of the breast is divided into the functional glandular element comprising the milk ducts and support tissues and fat. Functional part of the breast changes size at certain points during a woman’s life. It will get bigger when she’s pregnant and/or breast feeding – this is why women’s breasts generally get bigger at this time, and smaller when they’re going through the menopause. It’s obviously because the body no longer needs the breast for milk. Otherwise this functional part of the breast doesn’t change. So we can say that the increased breast size is due to the increase in fat that women carry.
