5 Things A Woman Should Never Do For A Man, Or Anyone Else

5 Things A Woman Should Never Do For A Man, Or Anyone Else
As women, we are quick to give up on our own passions and identities. But there are some things you shouldn't have to do for anyone

Us women are taught from an early age that we must put everyone else ahead of ourselves. While it might not be something that is explicitly said, it is implied in the actions of most adults we meet growing up. 
Men and women alike. To think of it, it might not be fair to blame them either. It is, after all, years and years of conditioning that has led to women across the world being socialised as the caregivers and nurturers. But women are a lot more than that and they have a whole lot more to offer. The world has started to see that, and it's time that we women did too.
As women, we are quick to give up on our own passions and identities to accommodate those of the people that we love. But there are some things you shouldn't have to do for anyone, ever. Here are a few of them.
1. Change your appearance

Unless you want to, for your own happiness. Letting a man or anyone else tell you what you 'should' and 'should not' look like isn't something you should stand for. As long as you're happy with your body and with the way you feel, let no one tell you what your body, your hair, your face, ought to look like.

2. Forgo your own opinion

You might be in love and crazy about someone, but that doesn't mean you need to constantly lower your voice and forget your own point of view so that theirs might be heard. In a healthy relationship, there's room for both opinions to be heard and respected. Voice how and what you feel, even if it might not be the most pleasing thing for anyone else to hear. You're an individual with a mind and voice of your own. Never forget that.

3. Compromise on your personal relationships
So you're in a loving relationship with the person you think you just can't do without. Great. But is this relationship going to be the only relationship you'll need and want your whole life? What about your friends, your family, other relationships you might have forged over the years? Do you really think it's worth giving up on all of that to keep this one relationship intact? While it is important to prioritise and know who stands where in your life, letting go of every other relationship because your partner doesn't want you to have them is going to cause you more harm than good. In order to grow and have a fulfilling life, keeping in touch with those who love you, other than your partner, is important.

4. Give up your passions

Whether it means giving up a job that you love, or changing the way you dress - if you're passionate about something, hold onto it. It's important to remember that you had set yourself some targets and goals before you met someone you were willing to give that all up for. You're still that person and while sometimes, it might feel like the right thing to do to let those goals take a backseat for the moment, giving them up altogether will only cause a sense of regret in you.

5. Alter your life plans

You had envisioned a life for yourself, a life that you still want. You want to get married, have children, or the complete opposite. You met a guy who might not have the same plans as you at all. If you think it is worth it and that you'll still be happy, there's no harm compromising on certain things you had wanted before. But if you're sure that your idea of a happy life is not going to change, it might not be worth giving up for anyone.

Best Skin care tips for pregnant women

Best Skin care tips for pregnant women
Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body undergoes significant changes. Hormone fluctuations are such that they take a toll on the most vulnerable and outermost layer of the body - skin.
Not all cosmetic products are compatible during pregnancy and there are several ingredients that may harm you as a mother-to-be or the baby inside your womb. Therefore, you must be careful about your skin care regime.

Dermatologist and Founders of Cosmedic Skin Solutions helps you get acquainted with the factors that may affect your pregnancy and lists five exclusive tips to select the right skin care product.

Avoid the sun

Pregnant women undergo many hormonal fluctuations that make their skin more sensitive. As a result, their skin becomes prone to darkening and pigmentation. Avoiding the hormonal imbalance is not practical but what you can definitely avoid going out in the sun. Try and stay indoors and cover up the exposed areas whenever you go out. Wearing a hat is a good way to prevent the sun's rays from falling on your face.

Use sun block

It is not possible to entirely avoid sun exposure. Sunlight filtering through windows inside your car and home can also harm your skin. Therefore, dermatologists recommend using a sun block cream that has at least SPF30++. The SPF 30 refers to UVB sunlight while the ++ refers to UVA sunlight. It is important to protect the skin from both these types of sunlight with broad-spectrum sun protection. It takes about 30 minutes for the sun block to take effect so it's best to apply it in the morning before the sun becomes harsh. Also remember to re-apply every 3-4 hours afterwards so that its effect doesn't wear off.

Stay away from chemicals at home
It's imperative for pregnant women to stay away from allergic elements that may cause distress to them and their unborn child's health. Ensure that the ingredients in the products they are using are safe and do not have any reaction on their baby. It's best to avoid ingredients such as hydroquinone, steroids and other harmful bleaching agents, unless otherwise directed by a supervising dermatologist. These ingredients are commonly used for reducing pigmentation and are often purchased over the counter without medical advice. This is dangerous due to side effects that these products may have.

Use Alpha-Hydroxy Acids
Alpha-Hydroxy Acids are some of the safest ingredients for treating pigmentation in pregnant women. They are natural ingredients, the most important ones being glycolic acid and lactic acid. Glycolic acid is derived from sugarcane, and lactic acid is derived from milk. These actives are very effective in treating pigmentation, however, sun protection must be used simultaneously. Additionally, to prevent irritation, try to find products that use a combination of glycolic acid and lactic acid, as that lactic acid is a known humectant (moisturizer).

Visit a dermatologist

As a mother-to-be, you must be watchful of any skin rash, itchy skin, or other dermatological issues. Go to a dermatologist for proper medical skin advice as soon as you notice any of these symptoms. Getting yourself checked by a specialised doctor helps protect you and your child.

Weight loss does not improve fertility in women
Penn State College of Medicine researchers have found that losing weight does not lead to improved fertility in women, but does improve sexual function.

"Obesity in women has been linked to lack of ovulation and thus infertility.

"Obesity, especially cantered in the abdomen, among infertile women seeking pregnancy is also associated with poor response to ovulation induction and with decreased pregnancy rates.

Menopause It’s just a transition

Menopause It’s just a transition




 Although women undergo multiple body changes in their lifetime, the hormonal changes occurring after cessation of the menses can be truly vexatious. Termed menopause, many women dread this partly because it signals the onset of ageing. But menopause is simply a transition between two major phases of a women’s life; not a disorder. 


How it happens
 
If one year passes without menstrual periods, menopause is confirmed to have occurred. The transition phase after the last menstrual cycle may last for years. During this time many women experience various symptoms due to hormonal changes. Bone density often diminishes and blood cholesterol levels may rise.
In most women, menopause occurs around the age of 50. In some cases, it can set in before 40. Premature Menopause is more likely to occur in women who smoke, have never been pregnant or live at high altitudes. In cases where none of these reasons apply, the doctor may advise a check-up to rule out other problems. For most women, menopause normally occurs between 45 and 55 years. If menopause occurs after 55, it is considered to be late menopause. 

Menopausal symptoms vary in intensity from woman to woman. With the onset of menopause, the ovaries dramatically reduce production of oestrogen — the main sex hormone in women, which is essential for the menstrual cycle — and progesterone. Although oestrogen occurs in both males and females, it is present in higher levels among women. Since it affects many parts of the body its loss is thought to cause many menopause symptoms. During menopause, production of testosterone, the ‘male’ hormone involved in libido or sexual drive, also decreases. As a result, women’s sexual responses may also change. But this could also be due to vaginal dryness and the thinning of vaginal walls, which may make sex uncomfortable. This can be remedied through adequate lubrication. 

Treatment options
 
Since many symptoms are associated with lower oestrogen levels, oestrogen replacement could reduce some symptoms. Since hormone replacement therapy carries the risk of vaginal bleeding and is linked with higher risk of breast cancer, stroke and heart disease, it should only be considered under expert medical supervision.
Treatment could also include lifestyle changes. Dietary changes involve avoiding caffeine, alcohol and spicy foods. For those susceptible to heart diseases, a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet is advised. Foods or supplements with calcium and vitamin D also help. Eating soy foods is also good, since soy contains oestrogen. Plenty of exercise is recommended; especially Kegel exercises, which strengthen the pelvic and vaginal muscles. Strength and resistance training strengthens the bones.
If women follow these guidelines, the menopause years will bring minimum discomfort and maximum well-being. 

Common symptoms
 
Hot flashes, mood swings, sleep disturbances, anxiety and headaches. 

Rapid bone loss causing osteoporosis and increasing bone fracture risks. 

Urinary incontinence and burning during urination. Changes in the bladder and urethra may cause higher frequency and urgency of urination, including increased risk of urinary tract infection after menopause. 

Pain during sex and changes in vaginal discharge. 

Changes in breast shape. 

Increase in cholesterol levels heightening heart-disease risk; irregular heartbeats and weight gain. 

Pubic muscles can lose tone, and the vagina, uterus or urinary bladder could prolapse causing stress incontinence. 

Changes in levels of normal microorganisms in the vagina may increase the risk of vaginal yeast infections.

Simple screening test can help detect ovarian cancer

Simple screening test can help detect ovarian cancer

 Ovarian cancer has for long been known as the silent cancer because women rarely realize they are suffering from it until it too late.

Even in a developed , detection in 70% of the women with the disease is late. Deaths are hence high among ovarian cancer patients.

However, researchers from the Fred Hutchison Cancer Research Centre in Seattle have now worked out a simple screening tool that can be used even in a doctor's clinic to change the scene.

It's a three-question paper-and-pencil survey that can be completed in two minutes. But its answers will help doctors decide if a woman is at risk of ovarian cancer; the woman can be asked to seek the next level of tests (a biomarker blood test such as CA125) to detect the cancer if at all.

Women only need to be asked if they are currently experiencing one or more of the following symptoms:

 If they have abdominal and/or pelvic pain; if they are feeling full quickly and/or unable to eat normally; and if they experience abdominal bloating and/or increased abdomen size.

The frequency and duration of these symptoms also need to be noted, said the researchers.

"Symptoms such as pelvic pain and abdominal bloating may be a sign of ovarian cancer but they also can be caused by other conditions.

This research found that about 60 % of women with early-stage ovarian cancer and 80 % of women with advanced disease reported symptoms. Tthat follow this distinctive pattern at the time of diagnosis.

Women with symptoms that are frequent, continual and new to them in the past year should talk to their doctor, as they may be candidates for further evaluation with ultrasound and blood tests that measure markers of ovarian cancer such as CA-125,"" said the research article published in Open Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

women, kids and CVD

women, kids and CVD

World Heart Day is being observed on September 29 and this year's focus is on cardiovascular disease prevention among women and children. Although poverty, malaria, AIDS and chronic diseases account for more than 53 per cent of all deaths, with people moving up the socio-economic ladder, lifestyle diseases have also emerged as a major killer, and heart disease is one of the main lifestyle diseases.

Each year CVDs kill over 8.6 million women globally. This figure is more than the total number of women who die from all cancers, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS and malaria combined. This alarming figure has made WHO focus on CVDs among women by running the Go Red for Women Campaign to improve women's knowledge of heart disease and stroke. Improved knowledge will help them take action and achieve longer, better heart-healthy lives. 


Remember that heart disease and stroke do not affect only men or older and rich populations. CVDs affect as many women as men. Unfortunately , women's risk is grossly underestimated. You will be surprised to know that heart disease is actually the number one killer of women. It accounts for 1 in 3 female deaths. Shocking, but true it is. In this scenario it is vital that women learn the truth about their CVD risk and take action to protect themselves and their family.

Even children are vulnerable . The risk for CVDs can begin during foetal development, and increase further during childhood with exposure to unhealthy diet, lack of exercise and smoking. Modern materialistic society is exposing children to risk factors such as diets high in "bad" fats and sugar. 


Today's children are comfortable with activities such as playing computer games and watching TV programmes. They avoid physical activity. In some countries they also take up tobacco consumption at very early age or are exposed to secondhand tobacco smoke. All these are making them vulnerable to CVDs.

You must know that the heart is a muscular pump in the chest. It must beat continuously to send blood to the lungs and the rest of the body. Simply put, when the arteries get clogged with bad cholesterol, plaque, scar tissue, or calcium, the heart slows down and finds it difficult to circulate blood. This slowing down leads to problems from chest pain to heart failure to a heart attack.

Chest pain is the first symptom of a heart attack. This is brought on by exertion. And you can relieve it by taking rest. The major symptoms of a heart attack are intense chest pain, sudden cold, sweating, weakness and nausea. This is confirmed by electrocardiography, angiography and also x-ray .  


One invites CVDs through tobacco use, alcohol use, high blood pressure which is also called hypertension, high cholesterol , obesity, physical inactivity and unhealthy diets. The factors like high blood pressure and cholesterol, family history, cigarette smoking, diabetes are well known. In addition there are congenital risks. In this category people are born with these problems like imperfect heart valves and genetic problems that promote hardening of the arteries.  
 Once the problem is identified you must go in for intensive follow up which may lead to lifestyle modification, appropriate medication, exercise therapies and diet control. These can be accomplished with a combination of individual as well as group therapies.


It is estimated that by 2020, CVDs will be the largest cause of disability and death in India . We have more than 40.9 million people with diabetes, while there are 118 million people with hypertension and this figure is expected to increase to 69.9 and 213 million, respectively , by 2025. WHO estimates that India will lose 237 billion dollars in national income from premature deaths due to heart disease , stroke and diabetes by 2015.

We all can make an effort to educate our family members and friends to help prevent heart disease. One can bring risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels under control by following heart-healthy diet, exercising, improving cholesterol levels, controlling diabetes and high blood pressure, by controlling weight, managing stress and not smoking.

The WHO Programme on Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) is concerned with prevention, management and monitoring of CVD globally. It aims to develop global strategies to reduce the incidence, morbidity and mortality of CVD by effectively reducing CVD risk factors and their determinants, developing cost effective and equitable health care innovations for management of CVD and monitoring trends of CVD and their risk factors.

Let us all join hands and adopt healthy lifestyle by remaining alert to the pain and making an effort to reduce the stress.
 
 We must not forget that prevention is better than cure and the bottom line for prevention is to follow a hearthealthy lifestyle and enjoy healthy heart.
