Yoga can reduce hot flashes and night sweats among women going through menopause, and also appears to sharpen their mental function, researchers from India report.
To investigate whether yoga would help women with physical and cognitive symptoms of menopause, they randomly assigned 120 menopausal women, 40 to 55 years old, to yoga practice or simple stretching and strengthening exercises five days a week for eight weeks.
The postures, breathing and meditation included in the yoga intervention were "aimed at one common effect, i.e. 'to develop mastery over modifications of the mind' ... through 'slowing down the rate of flow of thoughts in the mind,"' the researchers explain.

The popular HRT pill that 'doubles the risk of stroke'
Older women have been warned that a popular HRT pill can more than double the risk of suffering a stroke.
Tibolone, a drug taken by tens of thousands of British women to combat the symptoms of menopause, raises the odds of a stroke in the over 60s, say researchers.
Those who took tibolone were 2.2 times as likely to have a stroke as those who did not - and the oldest women were at the greatest risk.
The study was abandoned before it was finished, so as not to unduly risk the women's health.

The Condition of Your Mouth Can Reveal a Lot About Your Sex Life
As women, when we think about hormonal health, we usually consider issues related to our monthly menstruation, menopause, sexual health or weight gain. In reality, hormone imbalance can affect our total well-being. For example, women's sexuality has to do with a lot of factors including physical as well as emotional issues. We especially experience the wrath of this imbalance during pre and post menopause and during our menstruation cycle, also known to some as the dreaded PMS (Pre Menstrual Syndrome). But you probably never considered one other important physical factor affecting your sexual mood, which surprisingly is gum disease, also known as the silent disease. This connection is rarely talked about and might at first seem an odd one, but it becomes obvious when you learn the science behind how it all works.

Not Guilty by Reason of Menopause
Interviewer: Can I say right off that you don’t look old enough to be writing about menopause?
Leigh Anne Jasheway-Bryant: (blushing) Thank you. Actually, it’s all the sweating… it’s a natural moisturizer. Why spend thousands of dollars on something you make for free during a good hot flash?
I: I hear you once had an electrical problem due to a hot flash?
LAJ-B: Yes. I was speaking at the Erma Bombeck Humor Writing Conference in Dayton, Ohio and I had a lapel microphone on. Those things have two pieces – the microphone and the box that picks up the wireless signals. I had the box attached to the waistband of my skirt and suddenly the power went off in the room. I’m pretty sure I shorted out the sound system which took down the whole power grid. I left town immediately just in case.
I: Your new book is Not Guilty by Reason of Menopause (Ten Speed Press, 2008). It’s very funny. And it has pictures.
LAJ-B: I know, those are great, aren’t they? I don’t even have to use my reading glasses to see them.
I: What was your goal in writing this book?
LAJ-B: To avoid getting a real job. No, I mean, to help menopausal women and the people they live with get some real laughs at something that is absolutely natural and happens to 52% of the population at some point in their lives, but there can be this tendency to freak out about it. And I wanted them to laugh and not feel worse about themselves later. You can giggle at a joke about how your neck is so baggy you use it to parasail, but later you won’t be able to look in the mirror. There are no neck jokes in this book. No varicose vein jokes, none about bat wings… all the things that make women feel worse instead of better.
I: I’ve read that you think laughter can actually be used as an anti-aging ingredient.
LAJ-B: Yep. It does so many positive things for you. Laughing circulates blood to all your organs and your skin is your largest organ. Laughing is a great way to have healthier, more youthful skin all over your body. It also helps tone most major muscles, except, I’ve found, your triceps. For those you need to laugh while lifting weights. Which is definitely more fun than just lifting weights alone. Not to mention that women who laugh enjoy themselves more and finding joy in life makes you younger. I myself am only three as we speak.
I: Did you have any qualms about writing about menopause? Doesn’t the word still scare some people?
LAJ-B: Mostly male people. Teenage boys and twenty-something men especially. You want to get a young man to let you have a parking space, just yell “I’m menopausal” out the window. If that doesn’t work, yell “Vasectomy.” Those two things together, you’ve pretty much got all the power.
But menopause has come out of the closet in a big way in the past decade or so. Women carry fans in the purses and they whip them out whenever their thermostats get turned up from the inside. We dress in layers and strip off our clothes in public. There are chat rooms and blogs where you can talk about all kinds of things that your mother would have been embarrassed to admit were a problem. Dr. Christiane Northrup had a special on menopause on PBS. Oprah’s talked about it. So it’s cool to be menopausal these days. As long as there’s an air conditioner blowing.
I: Back to the book. It’s the kind of thing that would make a great girlfriend book, right?.
LAJ-B: Absolutely. It’s funny and has great photos. Many of them from the 50s and 60s, which are the decades many of us menopausal women grew up in. And the book is easy to read. I don’t know a single menopausal woman who has time to sit down and read War & Peace. Or even the instruction manual for, well, anything. We’ve got jobs to do, kids to embarrass, global warming to solve… Women want something fun and funny that fits into our multi-tasking lifestyle.
I: Speaking of funny, do you have any other menopause stories you’d like to share?
LAJ-B: Oh sure, why not? There was this one time I was hired by Canyon Ranch Spa in Tucson to teach a few workshops. In exchange, I got to have some massages and a few health care visits with their wonderful team of doctors and nurses. At one point, I was sitting in an exam room wearing one of those fine backless gowns and the doctor came in with my chart. He glanced up at me for a moment and said, “49 (my age at the time), you hide it well.” So naturally, I felt pretty proud of myself. I threw my shoulders back and sat up straight and raised my eyebrows just slightly to give me that Botox look. Then he asked me to hop up off the table so he could check my spine. And I hopped. And so did that roll of paper they use on the table. During the time we’d been chatting, I had two hot flashes and the paper had semi-permanently adhered to my rear end. So in hopping, I managed to yank the roll of paper completely off the table. It flew across the room and almost hit the doctor in the nose. So much for passing for thirty-something.
Then there was the time I was interviewing a guest on my then-radio show. I got so hot, I couldn’t think, so I unzipped my outer sweater. What I didn’t realize for a few seconds was the outer sweater was already unzipped and I had unzipped the blouse beneath it (I scour Goodwill for blouses with zippers so I can get in and out quickly. That’s my little secret. Victoria has hers, but mine’s better.). Before the guest can see that I’m flashing him, I turn around to zip up. Only then do I realize I’ve just flashed the news guy in the studio behind me. I think he said something about “keeping everyone abreast” of what was going on in the news.
It’s all funny. My life would be so boring without menopause to keep me – and the people around me – entertained.
I: Now I wish I was menopausal.
LAJ-B: Don’t worry, you’ll get there soon enough. And just think how much more you’ll have to laugh at.
I: Thanks Leigh Anne, I’ll look forward to that. Meanwhile, we can all buy a copy of your book where?
LAJ-B: At major booksellers everywhere, including online. But don’t just buy one copy or your menopausal women friends will be jealous. And you don’t want to make a mood-swinging woman jealous!
Leigh Anne Jasheway-Bryant: (blushing) Thank you. Actually, it’s all the sweating… it’s a natural moisturizer. Why spend thousands of dollars on something you make for free during a good hot flash?

Don't Buy Omega 3 Supplements Before Reading This...
Not all Fish Oil and Omega 3 supplements are the same. All supermarket, internet and health food store brands are supplement grade and useless at delivering the essential fats that your body needs. Worse still, some are rancid and contaminated with toxic levels of mercury and organic pollutants.
Supplement companies do not perform the stringent testing that is required to certify that their fish oil is ULTRA-PURIFIED and does not contain pollutants or contaminants. It takes 100 gallons of health food supplement grade fish oil to produce 1 gallon of ultra-purified pharmaceutical grade fish oil.
Not All Omega 3's Contain DHA and EPA
Not all Omega 3's will provide you with DHA and EPA. This is because these essential fatty acids are not present in a lot of Omega 3 products. For example, ground flax seed is excellent oil for certain uses and contains Omega 3's but does not actually contain any DHA or EPA at all. Instead it contains ALA which your body has to convert to DHA and EPA.
In many people, particularly the elderly this conversion process is very inefficient. To give you an idea, it is estimated that most adults would have to consume 10 - 40 grams of flaxseed oil to produce just 0.2 grams of DHA.
So, if you want to get the proven benefits of DHA and EPA, which include opening of blood vessels, decrease in blood clotting, decrease in inflammation and pain, killing cancer cells, improving immune system, improving mental function, stopping heart irregularities and sudden death and preventing heart disease, don't rely on getting your Omega 3's from vegetable oils such as flaxseed.
Griffin Medical Group prescribes Vital Nutrients ultra-purified pharmaceutical grade omega 3 fish oil to their patients, that is loaded with high quality DHA and EPA so patients can achieve an optimal level of health.

Working through on-the-job menopause
Terri Bell knew menopause was hurting her work performance. She couldn't sleep at night and spent the whole day irritable, dying for a nap.
When a new medicine finally gave her relief from menopause symptoms, she could function again. Her attention span and productivity improved drastically, and she even got a raise at her medical billing job.
"I was able to speak to clients in a friendlier way," said Bell, 52, of Yardley, Pa. "To have those symptoms go away makes a whole change in your life."

Heart risk rises with menopause
As women begin to enter menopause, their risk of developing a collection of heart disease risk factors appears to increase, according to a new study.
Researchers found that among 949 U.S. women who were studied for a decade the risk of developing metabolic syndrome increased during perimenopause -- the years before the menopause.

Cancer Update from John Hopkins
1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more
cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.
2. Healthy cells can be damaged and triggered to mutate (mutagenesis) and cause cancer by consuming or being exposed to free radicals. To prevent free radical damage the body has a defense system ofantioxidants. Antioxidants are molecules which can safely interact with free radicals and terminate the chain reaction before vital molecules are damaged.
3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.
4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.
7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.
9 When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.
10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.
11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.
CANCER CELLS FEED ON:
a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder.
By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply
to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet,
Equal,Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is
harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey
or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has
a chemical added to make it white in color. Better
alternative is Bragg ' s aminos or sea salt.
b. Milk causes the body to
produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract.
Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting
with unsweetened soya milk cancer cells are being starved.
c. Cancer cells thrive in an
acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is
best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or
pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth
hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially
to people with cancer.
d. A diet made of 80% fresh
vegetables and juice, whole grains,seeds, nuts and a little
fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment.About
20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh
vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily
absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15
minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To
obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and
drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean
sprouts)and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day.
Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F
(40 degrees C).
e. Avoid caffeine.Green tea has cancer-fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins
and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic,
avoid it..
12. Meat protein is difficult
to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes.
Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become
putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.
13. Cancer cell walls have a
tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less
meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of
cancer cells and allows the body ' s killer cells to
destroy the cancer cells.
14. Some supplements build up
the immune system (Vitamin D3, pro-biotics, anti-oxidants,
zinc, resveratrol, lycopenes etc.) to enable the body ' s
own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements
like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed
cell death, the body ' s normal method of disposing of
damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.
15. Cancer is a disease of
the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit
will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger,
unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful
and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and
forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.
16. Cancer cells cannot
thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and
deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular
level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy
cancer cells.
