breast exam

In their lifetimes, several women will develop breast issues, and it is important to maintain breast health through regular Breast Self-Examinations (BSEs).  To perform a BSE, simply move your hand over your breast, and begin from the middle pressing outwards in a nautilus like circle, checking for lumps or bumps.  Should you discover a lump or bump, do not panic, but immediately consult a doctor.  If breast health issues are discovered early, they can be remedied by simple medicine. 

Serious health issues can arise if a lump is not discovered within a few months of its forming, leading to conditions like breast cancer.  The importance of regular BSEs is to avoid development of more serious conditions.  In addition, there are vitamin supplements which can also be taken in addition to BSEs to further reduce the risk of breast health issues.

natural weight lossWe’ve all seen the hundreds of different programs and products that claim to promote weight loss, but how many of them have worked for you?  Weight loss is simpler than most people make it out to be, but it has been blown out of proportion to such an extent by the media that it forces people to think it either requires dozens of different lifestyle changes, or can be solved with a pill.  Here are a few simple tips for anyone thinking about losing a few pounds. 

~Drink green tea instead of coffee; green tea is fat oxidizer, this promotes safe, natural weight loss.

~Exercise as often as your schedule permits; even if you get outside once or twice a week for a walk that is better than nothing.  Doing more will ensure weight loss over time. 

~Eat your vegetables; a salad is the most calorie efficient meal you can have, combined with a vinaigrette dressing of any kind and it doesn’t taste bad and fills you up too. 

Results are not instant no matter what kind of plan you use, weight loss takes time, if you lose 1 pound in a week you are doing more than enough, the hard part is keeping that one pound off several weeks in a row.

green tea

As part of the daily intake of several million of the healthiest people in the world, green tea can be an essential component of good health.  Asian cultures, mainly China and Japan, have consumed green tea for centuries, with the tea now growing popular in other areas in the world.  This increase in popularity is commonly attributed to the tea’s proven ability to oxidize fat, actually burning calories by consuming it, as well as a variety of other beneficial healing effects.  Green tea contains about a third as much caffeine as a similar amount of coffee, but because of its benefits, is being more frequently chosen. 

In addition to the actual green tea, green tea extract is used in a wide variety of products including anti-aging creams, weight loss supplements, and as a detoxifier for harmful substances within the body.
