    What’s in your ‘just in case’ stash? For many of us, one particular stash is no longer needed. Or is it?! Wendy Scherer weighs in on her stash dilemma: the unneeded tampon.     I’ve always kept a stash of tampons in the guest bathroom and in the master bathroom. Just in case. And, on occasion, it’s been pretty handy for our guests, too. I even bought a really cool old box when we moved into our home 3 years ago – specifically for extra toilet paper and tampons. Love the box. It occurred to me today that maybe there’s a shelf life for…

  • These Fitness Balls Can Help With Kegel Exercises

    Wendy
    14 May 2013 | 5:00 am
    Every day, whether intentionally at the gym, or just doing chores around the house, our arm, leg and back muscles get a good workout. But one set of muscles, located in the pelvic floor, never get the attention that they deserve, given their importance to the proper functioning of four organs:  the bladder, uterus, vagina and bowels. Like any other muscle that’s neglected, they weaken with age, or often following childbirth, resulting in urinary leakage and, in more severe cases, pelvic organ prolapse. Doing Kegel exercises, which involve contracting then relaxing the pelvic floor, can…

  • Is Urinary Incontinence An Inevitable Part of Aging?

    Wendy
    12 May 2013 | 8:10 pm
    Urinary incontinence is something we associate with old age. Yet an overactive bladder (OA) can be a consequence of childbirth, or even constipation. So it’s not uncommon for women in their 30s to 60s to experience urgency, frequency and yes, even urinary incontinence. We do seem to hear more about OA in women than men, so I contacted an expert in the field, Dr. Charles Nager, to ask him about the causes and possible cures for this embarrassing condition, and if there’s anything women can do to prevent light leakage or incontinence from occurring in the first place. Dr. Nager is a…

Dr. Pauline Chen, in her New York Times column last summer, wrote about a patient’s difficulty in absorbing “a fire hose of advice.” “Thanks to some dazzling advances in preventive medicine and public health,” she wrote, “doctors in almost every specialty of medicine now have a panoply of proven preventive recommendations to…

  • 10 Best Foods To Lower Blood Pressure

    8 May 2013 | 8:47 am
    If you have elevated or high blood pressure, a common condition in menopausal women, you naturally want to reduce your sodium intake. But you also want to make sure that your diet includes enough potassium, which as a natural diuretic, will promote the excretion of water and sodium from your body If you’ve been diagnosed with hypertension, (half the U.S. population has high blood pressure, according to the Center for Disease Control), The American Heart Association recommends that you consume as much as 4700 mg/day of potassium and not more than 1500 mg/day of sodium to achieve an…

    Are you consistently achy? Have you been told that you have fibromyalgia? According to research published in Maturitas, not only are middle-aged women prone to achy muscles and joints that might be otherwise known as fibromyalgia, but, those aches and pains may actually be related to hormonal changes. Indeed, when they reanalyzed information collected from over 8,300 women between the ages of 40 and 59, they learned that muscle and joint aches during this time period were significantly related to menopausal symptoms — not only did more than half of the women (63%) suffer from muscle…

And that vibrant time was interrupted in the late Sunday afternoon hours with news that a friend’s mom had passed. My heart, so filled with joy just hours prior, was suddenly heavy with sadness for my friend. We, I, am at that age where our parent are passing, our friends are becoming ill, our lives are likely more than half over. Let me tell you; it’s pretty strange and downright sobering.

    According to recent estimates, skin cancer accounts for half of all cancers in the U.S. More than 3.5 million cases of basal or squamous cell skin cancer are diagnosed yearly; these types of skin cancer are generally found on the base or surface of the skin and can be cured if treated early enough. Melanoma — the most deadly of all skin cancers that affects the melanocytes, or cells that create skin pigmentation — accounts for more than 2/3rds of skin-cancer related deaths; this year, more than 76,000 cases are expected to be diagnosed.

    Silence is golden, at least it is when it comes to choosing your workout partner. I write a lot about the importance of physical activity and this seemed to be the perfect post to kick off Women’s Health Week. Data have suggested that an optimal workout partner can actually improve both the intensity and duration of exercise by as much as 208%. Indeed, according to Brendan Irwin, an assistant professor of kinesiology at Kansas State University, having a skilled workout partner who keeps verbal encouragement to a minimum is the key to optimizing workouts. Hmm, a skilled person. This idea…

    Growing old is the stage when you have more time for yourself, your family, for leisure, recreation and relaxation. However, it is also the time when you are more susceptible to some ailments that are linked to old age like Arthritis, rheumatism, incontinence, and High Blood Pressure. This raises the need for the seniors to stay fit and healthy during this age. Though the degeneration of the body also set some limits to the types of exercises they can do. This leads to the practice of milder forms of exercise such as jogging, brisk walking, and even Yoga. Yoga can, in fact, be good for adults…

You see, almost every little girl has dreamt of being a little princess. Our imaginations run wild and we picture futures full of endless possibilities. But why a princess? Probably because princesses live in big castles, wear beautiful dresses and are always rescued by the handsome prince. What delighted me the most about this movie was that the princess was unlike any other. She was…
