If you’re a woman, you’ve probably noticed that it’s harder for you lose fat and keep it off than the men in your life. While it’s true that women have genetically higher fat ratios as due to their natural role as child bearers, part of the problem also results from the baseless fears many women have about how will affect their bodies.Your weight reflects your total calorie consumption, how much you exercise, and your metabolic rate, but the composition of the food you eat is also important. Don’t be afraid, to try something new to shape up your body and have that self confident in you.
A lean, shapely physique and an ability to lose the fat fast cannot be achieved by women who don’t add intense weight training to their workout routine. Yes, this can be true .
Studies have shown that regular exercise significantly increases life expectancy and improves overall health. Regular physical activity reduces the risk of cancer, heart disease, and osteoporosis. It can reduce or improve symptoms of menopause, PMS, diabetes, as well as numerous other conditions.
As a metabolically active tissue, muscle burns fat. Having more muscle on your body raises your resting metabolic rate, ensuring that you will be burning more calories even when you aren’t working out. If you want to lose the fat fast, building and maintaining healthy muscle tissue should be a top priority.
An improved self-image and increased energy level are frequent added benefits of exercise.
The inclusion of intense weight lifting and resistance training into your workout routine increases the mitochondria in your muscle fibers. Converting nutrients into energy, mitochondria are the “powerhouses” of the muscle cells (because they are the site where sugar is broken down to release the energy required for cellular functions). With more mitochondria, it will be easier to lose the fat fast.
Many women feel that weight training is not an option because they fear adding extra bulk or looking masculine. Once you know the facts, you’ll see that this fear is completely irrational. Thanks to hormones, women build muscle tissue even more slowly and gradually than men. Now you know the answer!
If you notice an unpleasant and excessive response to weight training, you’ll still have plenty of time to modify your routine and prevent further muscle gain. Your best choice to lose the fat fast and obtain the most desirable female form is weight training. By focusing on weight and resistance training, you’ll be able to overcome your fear of bulking up and lose the fat fast. Weight training burns fat and helps you build and maintain lean muscle mass.
It’s interesting to note that while the main source of fuel that the body burns during weightlifting are carbohydrates, the intense nature of the workout actually boosts your metabolism. For up to 24 hours after leaving the gym, your body will burn more calories in its attempt to recover from your weight training workout. Another good example of how weight training helps you to lose the fat fast.
Worries about athletic agility, speed, and flexibility sometimes keep both men and women from engaging in weight training. This is just not true. Weight training actually works to improve speed, agility, and flexibility, all the while improving your athletic ability, protecting your body from injury, and making it possible to lose the fat fast. The lean and muscular physiques of sprinters and football running backs are proof of this rule.I have come across so many men and ladies who’s afraid to do weight training, can you believe this!!
All women should consider weight training for its benefits in the prevention of osteoporosis, a painful condition that will affect most women as they age. Do it now before it’s too late. Love your body and love yourself.

All women experience irregular period sometimes during their child bearing years, before menopause. While Western medication has never viewed that irregular menstruation is a problem of women reproductive system, traditional Chinese medicine looks at this problem seriously, if untreated, it will disharmonize the women ecosystem, leading to nervous tension and other health problems, including infertility. Girls in South East Asia have learnt in their early women life from grand mother wisdom, that they do not engage in any activity, distorting their regular period.. Irregular period should be treated immediately, otherwise, it may cause wide range of women diseases, such as infertility, according to Traditional Chinese medicine.
Causes of irregular menstruation include
1. Hot and spy foods Hot and spicy foods may be needed to improve the immune system, increase blood flow to the reproductive organs and warm the uterus for natural conception, but over intake of them may distort the kidney function in nourishing and moistening the body tissue and increase the blood flow, causing over reproduction progesterone and testosterone, resulting in heat accumulated in the body and irregular blood flow.
2. Cool and cold foods Over eaten some cool and cold foods such as cold drink, icy drink and raw foods over prolong period of time will decrease the yang qi in the body, leading to reducing the qi and energy flow to the reproductive organs. In some sever case, it blocks the flow of energy and increases the risk of accumulation of cold in the body, distorting the the yin phrase of menstrual cycle, causing painful irregular period and increasing the risk of infertility.
3. Occupation People who work in cold or hot environment may cause the lost of their underlayer of yang or yin weather in the body, because our body need to divert our yang or yin weather to fight the constant cold and hot temperature accordingly. Over a long period of times, if diet can not support the lost of energy and flow in the body, it causes either yang or yin deficiency that distort the normal menstrual cycle, leading to irregular period. In some severe cases, it causes infertility.
4. Rigid exercise Moderate exercise is alway good for our body, rigid exercise may cause blood moving upward to the organs other than the productive organs, leading to not enough to sustain a menstrual period, thus causing irregular period and infertility in some cases.
5. Raw food diet Raw food diet is healthier, if compare with the typical American diet. According to traditional Chinese medicine, raw foods are considered yin pathogen, if over intake of them for a prolong period of times will cause yang deficiency, distorting the yang phrase of the normal menstrual cycle, resulting in irregular period and sometimes infertility.
6. Diet against internal weather Eating slightly opposite to the internal constitution is always recommended. For example, if your internal constitution is yang, then you should eat a slightly more cool foods than people with neutral constitution.
7. Stress Stress can impair the proper functions of the spleen in food digestion and transporting blood and qi to the reproductive organs, leading to abnormal menstrual period and increasing the risk of infertility.
8. Artificial sweetener and Processed foods All these foods exhibit the yin and dampness in the body, according to TCM. While deficiency of yang causes the constriction that interferes with spleen function in food digestion and transport nutrients to our body, making our qi flow sluggish and leading to irregular period, weight gain and lack of energy.

As the world recognizes the United Nations’ International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, one form of violence has been overlooked that happens everyday, all over the world, and causes pain, suffering, disfigurement, and even death to thousands of women annually. And women actually do it to themselves. It is something they do out of fear of rejection and ridicule. It is the ultimate form of psychological violence, a form of self abuse to conform to the demands of men.
I am referring to breast disease and cancer, and how it is caused by the wearing of tight bras.
Most women agree that their bras are uncomfortable. However, the demand for acceptance trumps all reason, as women eagerly spend billions of dollars annually to display their cleavage to the pleasure of men.
Creating cleavage and a perky, youthful bustline, however, has a price. To get the “right” look, the bra must be tight, as it compresses the soft breast tissue. This causes pain, cysts, and can lead to cancer, something that was rare prior to the advent of the bra.
It is nothing new for women to abuse themselves for fashion. For example, not long ago, Chinese women bound their feet to please their men. Foot binding was disabling, causing completely distorted feet and toes. Some toes would actually rot off. Men would find erotic pleasure unwrapping, cleaning, and re-wrapping their women’s feet. And this went on for centuries!
Another senseless fashion, the wearing of corsets, also tortured women for centuries. The tight lacing impaired breathing, digestion, kidney function, and blood and lymphatic circulation, and caused pelvic disease and permanent skeletal deformation. But men loved the hourglass look, so women put up with the abuse.
Fashions can be sick. And this also applies to the wearing of bras.
Bras are constrictive by design. Their purpose is to alter breast shape, and this requires constant pressure applied to the soft breast tissue. Pressure, however, impairs the circulation of blood and lymph within the breast tissue. Most effected are the tiny, easily compressed lymphatic vessels, which drain the tissue of lymph fluid and is the circulatory pathway of the immune system.
Lymph fluid bathes the cells and needs to be regularly cleansed, taking with it toxins, waste products, viruses, cancer cells, bacteria, and cell debris. This lymph fluid is brought via lymphatic vessels to lymph nodes, which filter the fluid and mount an immune response, if needed. Eventually, the fluid re-enters the bloodstream. However, if the breast is constricted by a tight bra, the lymphatic vessels can be compressed, causing the fluid to accumulate in the tissue, along with the toxins it was trying to eliminate, some of which are carcinogenic. The result is pain, cyst formation, fibrocystic breast disease, toxification of the breast tissue, and, ultimately, cancer. Red marks and indentations in the skin left by the bra are telltale signs of constriction.
But will women eliminate their bras? Some women do once they hear about the bra/cancer link. However, for many, the fear of cancer and the pain of constriction are not as compelling as the fear and pain of rejection. To feel accepted, some women accept the self abuse of bra wearing. Some even pay a surgeon to cut their breasts, enlarging or reducing their size, subjecting themselves to the risks of surgery, anesthesia, and potential complications, all to look acceptable to others.
This is violence against women masquerading as fashion. That women do this violence to themselves makes it more disturbing. If a man were to punch a women in the breast, it would be obvious violence. When a woman binds her breasts to the point of pain, cysts, and cancer, it is still violence, even if the bra is lacy, sexy, and fashionable.
Sydney Ross Singer is a medical anthropologist and director of the Institute for the Study of Culturogenic Disease, located in Hawaii. His unique form of applied medical anthropology searches for the cultural/lifestyle causes of disease. His working assumption is that our bodies were made to be healthy, but our culture and the attitudes and behaviors it instills in us can get in the way of health. By eliminating these causes, the body is allowed to heal. Since most diseases of our time are caused by our culture/lifestyle, this approach has resulted in many original discoveries into the cause, and cure, of many common diseases. It also makes prevention possible by eliminating adverse lifestyle practices. Sydney works with his co-researcher and wife, Soma Grismaijer, and is the author of several groundbreaking health books, including the acclaimed book, Dressed To Kill: The Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras (Avery/Penguin Putnam, 1995; ISCD Press, 2005).

Yeast infection is the colonization of yeast fungi in body areas in such an amount and such a way that damages or symptoms are produced. Usually the yeast invades only body cavities and the lining of these cavities, but can in serious cases grow into deeper tissue layers.
Yeasts very often infect the vagina and outer female genitals. It also often occurs in the mouth, and is then called trash. The male genitals may be infected, but usually with fewer symptoms. There can also be an infective over-growth of yeast in the digestive tract, skin areas and the nose. Small children often get afflicted in the diapered area, and this is commonly called diaper rash. Diaper rash can also be caused by irritation from urine or stool, from food allergy, from allergy against washing media, or from a combination of several factors.
Sometimes these microorganisms attack several body areas at the same time, such a systemic infection is often called candidiatis. A systemic yeast infection can develop into a serious condition where the yeast invades deeper layers of the skin, the deeper tissues of several organs and even the blood stream.
The systemic variant usually occurs in patients with bad immune defense, like HIV patients, diabetics or patients weakened by systostatic or steroid medication.
CAUSES OF THE DISEASE
Usually species of the genus Candida, and especially the species Candida albicans, are the infective agents. These yeasts are normally found in the body, but the amount is held down by the normal body chemistry by friendly bacteria inhabiting the skin and body cavities, for example bacteria producing lactic acid (the genus Lactobacillus). When the yeast become infectious, it often changes from a round cellular form to a thread-like or branched form that can grow into tissues.
A disturbed bacterial flora in the skin and body cavities can make it easier for the yeast to grow excessively and infect. The skin, the outer genitals and body cavities like the mouth, vagina, and the colon contain the bacterium types Bifidobacteria and Lactobacteria, and these bacteria hold the growth of the yeast in check.
Use of antibiotics can kill these friendly bacteria and make it easier for the yeast to grow. A too eager use of antibiotics in children can cause a chronic overgrowth of yeasts in the body that will affect the health negatively long into adulthood.
Use of corticosteriods can also make a person susceptible for attack. Asthma patients using inhaled coricosteroids often get afflicted in the oral cavity.
A too eager hygiene, using bacterial killers, can kill friendly bacteria and cause a yeast attack to occur. However, lack of washing can also cause yeast infection.
If skin areas are constantly held wet or sweaty, Candida infections can easily occur, for example in diapered areas of small children or feet covered by tight shoes during long walks.
A diet with an excess of sugar and other carbohydrates may nourish the yeast and cause an infective growth of the yeast.
Mental and physical stress can decrease the effect of the immune defense against yeasts and make a person more susceptible for attack.
THE SYMPTOMS IN VARIOUS BODY PARTS
Yeast infection in the female genitals gives itching or burning sensations in the vagina and genital lips, red rashes in the external female genitals and a whitish badly smelling discharge. The discharge may also be the only symptom.
Attack in the male genitals often gives itching sores around the base of the penis head. There may also be a smelling whitish fluid substance present that is different in consistence from the white smegma normally produced by glands in the same area. Red rashes with scaling can be present on the outer genitals and especially on the underside of the penis.
In the mouth, yeast infection gives sores covered with a whitish layer that give an itching or burning pain, so called trash. There can also be white or yellow layers on the tongue without any sores underneath or other symptoms. One often sees cracks at the corner of the mouth.
Attack in skin areas will give symptoms like rashes, itching, sore areas oozing fluid and blisters. The symptom will most often be seen in areas like the under-side of the shoulders, the inner side of the elbow, skin folds, in the pelvic region and other areas that are somewhat hidden.
Yeast infection in the digestive tract can give symptoms in the whole digestive tract from the esophagus to the anus. Symptoms that can occur are problems and pain during swallowing, breast pain, bloating, cramping, excessive gas production, diarrhoea, itching and sores in the rectal opening and lactose intolerance.
An overgrowth of yeast in the digestive tract or a generalized attack produces substances that can poison the whole body, and give symptoms also from body parts that are not directly infected, like: rashes, hives, and itching in the skin, allergic reactions in many body parts, fatigue or lethargy, muscle weakness, bone pain and nervous symptoms.
DIAGNOSIS
Yeast infection is often diagnosed by a specimen from the affected area. The specimen is then cultured to investigate the microbial flora. Often bacterial infections give the same symptoms, especially from the vaginal area, and the specimen will also help to decide the cause of the symptoms.
STANDARD TREATMENT
Yeast infection is commonly treated locally at the infected area with anti-fugal substances like clotrimazole (canesten), nystatin, fluconazole, ketoconazole, tioconazole (GyneCure), terconazole (Terazole), Monazole, miconazole (Monistat, Micozole), butoconazole (Femstat) and gentiana violet.
By vaginal infection tablets, creams or suppositories containing one or more of these substances are usually inserted into the vagina. Men having genital yeast infection or sexual partners of women with infection can be treated with local cream based on the same substances.
Some of the drugs, like fluconazole, are also used orally as a systemic medication.
For more severe cases the substances amphotericin B, caspofungin, or voriconazole is often used.
By localized infection, for example in the vagina, the pharmacological products usually take away the infection very effectively.
These products do not however take away the susceptibility for new infections, and can be less effective when the infection is spread in a more diffuse manner.
Lifestyle measures and natural supplements can be useful to reduce the susceptibility for yeast infection and to help cure when standard treatment does not fulfill this goal.
ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT
- Garlic helps to kill yeast, and can be used as an oral remedy for yeast infection.
- Flushing with a boric acid solution can help to kill yeast and rinse body cavities. Suppositories containing boric acid can also be used to kill yeast in the vagina or anus.
- Diluted tea tree oil may help for vaginal yeast infection by using it locally.
- The fatty acid caprylic acid can kill yeast, and a supplement of this acid may help against yeast infection.
- Propolis is an antibacterial substance made by bees. An oral supplement or local application of a propolis solution has shown to be useful against yeast infection.
- Cranberry juice helps against bacterial infection in the urinary tract and may also help to kill yeast by making the urine more acidic.
- Lactoferrin is a protein that can bind to iron and hold it away from pathogenic bacteria and yeast, and this will impair the growth of these organisms. The protein is naturally found in milk and in secretes in many parts of the body. It is a part of the natural defense against microbes.
- Products containing seeds for friendly bacteria (Lactobacteria and Bifidobacteria) can help reestablish a normal bacterial flora and be helpful against yeast infection. The friendly bacteria hinder the growth of the pathogenic microorganisms. Such seeds are often called probiotics. There are probiotic products for both oral and local use.
-Yoghourt contains seeds for friendly bacteria. Consuming yoghourt can help to normalize the microbial flora in the digestive tract and in the genital zone. Yoghourt may also be used as a local remedy, for example in the vagina.
LIFESTYLE MEASURES FOR PREVENTION AND CURE
Many lifestyle measures can be used to prevent the outbreak of yeast infection and help to cure chronic yeast infection.
- One should avoid over-consuming carbohydrates, and avoid consuming carbohydrates that are rapidly taken up or utilized, like pure sugar, refined floor and bread made from refined floor. Instead use of full corn products, beans and peas that contain carbohydrates that are utilized gradually is recommended.
- One should wash or bath daily the whole body, including the genital area, with a mild soap or with pure water.
- One should not use anti-bacterial agents when one washes the skin, the genitals, the rectal opening or by mouth hygiene. For intimate wash, pure water is best.
- Unnecessary antibiotic cures or steroid medication should be avoided.
- Stressful elements and habits in the daily life should be avoided. Meditation is a good method to stress down.
- Clothes and shoes should give ventilation so that humidity does not aggregate at skin surfaces or in skin folds. Humid areas on the skin should be washed and dried regularly when it is not possible to avoid humidity.
