Health And Womens' Self Image:   Who Do You Think You Are?

Health, women and health issues continue to dominate as popular and in demand topic that we just can't seem to get enough of.

Yet by far, a most under-represented womens health issue, is your 'Self Image'. Self image is the foundation upon which you build your life. It will determine all aspect of your life, - from the way you feel about yourself, to the relationships you form and especially about your health. Since self image is the core foundation and is directly related to emotional and mental health health womens healthy self- image is fundamental to all aspects of our well-being.

It is not unusual to hear some women define themselves in terms of 'their womens health issue' or, in some instances, by way of the negative perceptions they hold about themselves. For example, 'I'm a diabetic' or 'I have a weight problem'. How sad! Because the very impression we give other people when we refer to ourselves in this way, is that we have a 'problem' or weakness, so we define ourselves in terms of our weaknesses, rather than our strengths. Yes! It's very easy for many of us to focus on the less healthy aspects of ourselves than on the positive.

Have you ever considered how you define yourself as a woman? Do you see yourself first and foremost as a mother, a wife, a daughter or a student? Or do you define yourself as a career woman, a stay at home mum, teenager or a mature lady. Find the answer to this question and many more intriguing insights into - 'us women's' soul.

A Woman's Health Issue v Health And Wellness Products

Health and wellness products are more in demand than at any other time in history. As more and more women look to alternative care health or a natural health remedy for the answer to their health question, how certain are you as to the contents of that so-called 'natural health remedy' that is supposed to make you feel or look better?

The variety and scale of health and wellness programs or, alternative care health remedies is endless. Choices can range from the modest vitamin supplement or dietary supplement to the more higher end health and wellness products such as air purifyers for your home.

If you regularly buy Over the counter drugs, supplements or other health-enhancing products, the following information will enlighten you as to more natural alternatives for eliminating illness and enhancing wellness, without the use of drugs with harsh side effects.

Health Products Wellness Remedies:  What's In Them?

As demand for health product wellness remedies boom, so too does the health and wellness products industry, fuelled by increasing health issues and especially in women.

Health and wellness products manufacturers have not previously been under any obligation to tell you what ingredients are in a specific health and wellness product, nor the quantities being used. For instance, purchasing health products for wellness, such as 'ginsing' does not guarantee you're getting a product containing 50% or even 10% ginsing. The health and wellness industry up until now, have not been regulated in ways that protect your best interest.

While it would seem that conventional medicine relies on scientifically backed research to substantiate effectiveness and safety, in contrast, the health and wellness products industry have had no such requirement.

If you're considering a wellness product for a womens health issue, what if you could treat numerous common ailments without the harsh side effects, using nothing but natural herbs, vitamins and nutrients you prepare yourself at home? For instance, did you know that placing yogurt on your face help to bring water from the deeper layers of your skin to the surface, moisturizing your skin for the rest of the day and hiding wrinkles?

An Apple A Day


This Diet Is Taking The UK By Storm: A concoction of maple syrup, lemon juice, cayenne pepper - is this the new Weight loss craze?

If you haven't heard about the maple syrup and lemon juice diet, you have now! Although the maple syrup and lemon diet is technically a detox diet, it is claimed that many people are in fact using it to shed a great deal of weight. The diet has recently gained huge media coverage following the singer - Beyonce Knowles' claim that she lost a stone in weight, over a 14 day period.

Following a blast from dieticians for revealing how she lost weight, Beyonce has since issued a caution about using such a drastic measure of the maple syrup and lemon juice diet. She is reported as saying 'that there are other healthy ways to lose weight.

The maple syrup and lemonade diet involves drinking maple syrup with lemon, water and a pinch of cayenne pepper concoction for ten days or more. No other food or drink is consumed other than water. The diet is fast becoming the latest diet craze in the UK after it was featured by a number of fashion magazines - such as Elle.

Detox diets have been around since the 1960's and is the creation of nutrition guru Stanley Burroughs. Famous for his book, 'The Master Cleanser' published in 1976, Burroughs theory that people consume toxins such as pesticides, food additives and mercury through food, on a regular basis. These toxins build up to an extent where they overwhelm the body's natural cleansing system, thus causing fatigue, headaches and other symptoms commonly associated with allergies. By resting the digestive sytem from food, the body is given a chance to eliminate toxins and to recover.

You can find out more about the maple syrup lemon juice diet recipe from the link below.

Is Vegetarian Foods Best For Faring Well?

When it comes to healthy eating, all you vegetarian ladies are perhaps more healthy than your meat eating counterparts.

It has already been established that the vegetarian diet is one of the healthiest in the world, being low in fat and high in bran and fibre. Yet, just like meat eaters, vegetarians too, have their focus on maintaining healthy weight. The absence of meat in a low calorie and vegetarian diet can lead to an increase in the amounts of carbohydrate intake. This can present weight gain issues for some vegetarians just as much as anyone else. Knowing which carbohydrates to avoid, and which are good, filling and healthy for you, must be your starting point.

Beauty And Beyond

Learn The Shocking Truth About Your handbag
And How It Could Be Affecting Your Health

Ladies, your handbag is as much a part of your health and beauty regime, if only for the fact that it is home to our various essential items. But, are you in the habit of setting down your handbag or purse where ever you go? Well, break that habit fast!

According to (CBS) Baltimore, a new study has found that some women may be carrying more than just their handbags around with them. That's right, laboratory tests carried out on womens' purses found a host of unwanted viruses such as Salmonella, Pseudomonas, Staff Aruis and E-Coli on them.

How is this possible you ask? Just think about the last time you did any of the following and ask yourself this - what kind of unsavoury incident or deed could possibly have occurred on that spot?


  • On the floor at the hospital
  • On the floor or seat at a restaurant
  • Under your desk at work
  • On your kitchen work surface
  • The floor of your car, a taxi or public transport
  • On the floor in restrooms
  • Or on the floor while you dance!


    Every imaginable incidence has taken place on the surface you're placing your handbag. Remember that people throw-up in taxis or on floors, along with many other un-desirable things I don't care to mention.

    If you treat your handbag in this way, it is essentially no different to the bottom of your shoes. And you certainly wouldn't dream of putting your shoes on your kitchen counter would you? The advice issued by experts for protecting yourself against viruses, is to use hooks to hang your handbag at home and in restrooms. Don't place it on the floor!
