for women’s health

There are 16 basic rules
each woman must follow,
according to medical experts.
The hygiene is no doubt
important and can prevent
from the development
of many serious infectious
diseases.
But excessive cleanliness
is not a good way to perfect
health either.
The research conducted by
British doctors shows that
the women,
who use special antibacterial
agents instead of common soap,
are more vulnerable
to infections,
because strong antiseptics
destroy the bacterial
equilibrium of the body.
Useful bacteria die,
while strong pathogens survive
and start propagating.
The oral contraception,
i.e. taking morning-after pills,
is not only the best way
to prevent the unwanted
pregnancy,
but can also contribute to
strengthening woman’s health.
It decreases the risk of ovarian
carcinoma by 20% for 30
years after the course
of treatment.
Black tea is healthier
than green one.
It guards your oral cavity
from bacterial contamination.
The latter can cause caries and
the formation of minor blood
clots in blood vessels,
which may trigger an infarction.
Black tea prevents this.
Do not think that diet cola
is very good for your health.
It contains such flavor booster
as phosphoric acid (E338) that
literally washes away calcium
from your organism.
It can lead to bone dystrophy
and other “skeletal” problems.
Some narcologists assert that
small doses of alcohol are healthy,
but oncologists do not agree.
Just a drop of alcohol increases
the risk of cancer of any type.
Red wine stimulates
breast cancer.
We remind that folic acid is
one of the six most essential
substances for a woman.
Its lack can cause innate
defects during pregnancy.
On the contrary, the sufficient
amount of folic acid prevents
age-related retinal degeneration –
the most frequent cause of
blindness among the elderly.
A recent research conducted
among one million women in
Britain revealed that the ideal
body mass index (BMI)
is about 24.
To calculate it,
divide your weight in
kilograms by your squared
height in meters.
For example, 70 kg /
1.7 m × 1.7 m = 24.2.
Women with BMI below
18.5 may have problems with
conception and are
more prone to osteoporosis.
Be careful with hormonal therapy,
which is often carried out
after the menopause.
The combination of some
hormones can but ruin
your health.
For instance,
the “cocktail” of estrogen
and progestogen stimulates
breast cancer and ovarian
carcinoma.
The redundancy of estrogen
alone increases the risk
of endometrium cancer.
Do not smoke.
Smoking women have
cervical carcinoma two
times more often.
Polycystic ovary and other
diseases suppressing the
ovulation are considered the
most common cause of
female infertility nowadays.
The treatment with vitamin D
helps prevent these problems.
The main source of
this vitamin is sunshine.
You are not bound to sunbathe
if you are afraid of skin cancer.
You should just walk in the sun
for at least 20 minutes a day.
If you are going to take a sunbath,
remember what medicines
you have taken recently.
Some drugs raise the skin
sensitivity and this way
make you more vulnerable
to cancer and burns.
To this risk group
belong antibiotics, medicines
for high blood pressure and
for lowering the cholesterol
level, some contraceptive
and nonsteroidal antiseptic
remedies (including ibuprofen)
as well as anti-acne creams.
Every fourth middle-aged woman
suffers from depression or
other mental disorders.
One of the causes is the
lack of amino acid tryptophan,
which we get exclusively from food –
particularly from turkey, curd cheese,
plums and bananas.
A woman must give birth to a
child before she turns 30 –
it lessens the risk of breast cancer.
Besides, breastfeeding mothers are
50% less prone to rheumatoid
joint inflammation than others.
Regular physical exercises,
including dumbbell lifting,
strengthen torso muscles,
prevent pains in the back and
waist and make your figure slim.
A common drum belly
(abdominal swelling) can be
a symptom of ovarian carcinoma,
so you should pay attention to it.
A permanent discomfort in the
stomach can indicate the
so-called irritable bowel syndrome.
It may be accompanied by acute
pains and intense gas formation.
Sometimes it may
require surgery.
Regular sex is literally
able to rejuvenate a woman:
200 orgasms a year make
her look 6 years younger.
Sex is a natural way to
improve the immune system.
