Appearance influences health

February 23rd, 2007 by webmaster

Experts have analyzed private affairs of graduates of law faculties, and have also estimated their appearance on a five-point scale
The people watching their appearance and making various cosmetic procedures on a regular basis have a good health and live even longer from those who do not pay any attention to the appearance. In scientists’ opinion, this phenomenon is quite explainable, and both from the physiology and psychology points of view. Earlier the scientists have also declared that beautiful people also earn more money, than their “average-looking” colleagues do.
People, who carefully look after their skin by means of various cosmetic creams and masks, are healthier than those who do not pay attention to their image. The researchers approve that, owing to this, life expectancy of people, taking care of their health and appearance increases.
Such results are connected with a number of different reasons. For example, the constant and competent skin care allows improving the activity of nervous system and a gastro enteric path, and any failures in the functioning of these organs affect an integument condition.
The other reason is explained by the fact that various cosmetic procedures help to improve appearance - and comprehension of the appeal, in turn, rises to the mood, that positively affects our health.
Besides it is natural, that the activity of our organism is anyhow shown on us in literal sense. The person watching over the health carries out preventive maintenance or solves arising problems in time without waiting when they will prove in the form of cosmetic lacks.
Thus, “beauty” and “health” are indissolubly connected. And the habit to care of skin and body means simultaneous and constant preventive maintenance of many diseases.
Besides it is not necessary to forget that the discontent with own appearance can lead to occurrence of diseases: the most part of illnesses is caused by the emotional reasons. Therefore, besides carrying out of procedures on physical improvement of the appearance, it is necessary to think about the emotional plan.
The confident in their appearance people feel comfortable and stronger. Such people become more successful. So, the experts from Texas and Michigan universities have analyzed private affairs of graduates of law faculties, and  have estimated their appearance on a five-point scale (1 - least, and 5 - the most attractive). Then they have contacted graduates and have taken an interest in their present incomes.
The result showed that in five years after reception of the diploma beautiful people earned on 10 % more, than the owners of usual appearance, and in 15 years, the incomes of attractive people have grown on 12 %.

February 20th, 2007 by webmaster

Physiological changes at women during and after pregnancy
1st trimester
Practically from the moment of conception the female organism starts to prepare for a birth and feeding by a breast. Many women notice the changes occurring to mammary glands even before to the first delay of menses. Thus, swelling of mammary glands can serve as the first signal, that you are pregnant.

Many women feel some weight in the field of a thorax as the breast becomes harder. Veins on a breast can become more appreciable, dummies to increase, the prepapillary circle becomes darker.
How to facilitate the state at this stage:
Buy new bra.
Limit the use salt, as it keeps moisture and leads to puffiness.
2nd trimester
Approximately after achievement of the middle of term mammary glands get the necessary volume for manufacture of milk. Because of increase in volume there can be extensions or an itch.
Breast after a birth
Right after branches of a placenta the prolactin hormone, signaling mammary gland that is time to make milk, starts to be developed. Formation of milk is stimulated with the further sucking movements of the baby, therefore if you plan to nurse, start to it do as soon as possible.
With the advent of the milk the breast swells considerably, becoming heavy and may be covered with pimples and it can itch.
To facilitate unpleasant sensations, it is possible to do the following actions:
If you plan to continue to nurse, in the first some days reduce stagnation of milk to a minimum as it will provide good formation of new milk.
If you do not plan to nurse, it is recommended one day prior to a birth of the child and all next week to carry a rigid sports bra.

After you have taken away the child from a breast, the rests of milk will be absorbed by your organism. Dummies will come back to the former size. The breast also will come back to antenatal volume if you come back to antenatal weight. There is one “but”: the breast will not look so elastic as up to sorts, and nothing can be done here.

Hormonal contraceptives (Part 1)

February 15th, 2007 by webmaster

Only 15 % of women prefer contraceptive tablets. Hormonal tablets have appeared only about 10-15 years ago, and, as all the new, have been apprehended with mistrust and vigilance. The majority of female fears are strongly exaggerated, especially if to speak about hormonal preparations of the third generation.
Difficulties of a choice
The combined oral contraceptives (COCs) may be monophase, biphasic and three-phase. Monophase COCs contain a constant doze of hormones: what a tablet you have taken, quantity of operating substances in it same, as well as in previous. Biphasic COCs simulate ovulation, therefore the first 10 tablets contain an estrogen, and in minimum quantities, and the others 11 - progestin component. So biphasic preparations need to be taken precisely under the scheme and to not to be changed at all their sequence. Three-phase contraceptives gradually increase a doze of gestations and estrogen, leading up it up to a maximum in the middle of a cycle and reducing before the menses. It is difficult to say which of these medicines works more effectively, in fact each woman has her own particular features the cycle. For example, if the organism has got used to strong hormonal jump in the middle of a cycle, the monophase preparations calculated on menses cycle without differences, will not approach it. The three-phase COCs are more often subscribed to such ladies - they allow direct the ovulation under that regime to which the organism has got already used.
