To a Healthier You in 2011: Start an Enzyme Flush
New Years Resolution #1 for me each New Year since I learned about the raw food diet is to CONSUME MORE ENZYMES! I am a confessed obsessive compulsive when it comes to what I eat, but during the holiday season I definitely let my hair down and enjoy a cocktail (or two), indulge in lobster ravioli, eat pancakes, dance like no one is watching and the list goes on and on.
Skin Care on a Budget
Contrary to the messages displayed on television advertisements, healthy skin doesn’t require a lot of money or time. Your skin, like the rest of your body, requires adequate nutrition and protection from harmful elements. Regardless of your income and wealth, your beauty and skin routine should include some basic procedures. A skin-care routine that fits your budget and your lifestyle can improve your appearance and may help boost your confidence, without depleting your wallet.
What Are Some Treatments for Wrinkles Around the Mouth?
As skin ages, it loses elasticity. This natural decrease in collagen and elastin causes wrinkles to look more pronounced, especially around the mouth area. Doctors often treat patients for three common types of wrinkles around the mouth. Lipstick lines, also called smoker’s lines, are the fine wrinkles that extend vertically from the top lip. Marionette lines extend downward from the corner of the mouth and give it a puppet-like appearance, and parentheses lines are the shallow, curving lines at the corners of the mouth.
Pap Test Guidelines
The Pap test, also known as a Pap smear, is a test used to identify pre-cancerous cells on a woman’s cervix. After 1945, when the American Cancer Society (ACS) began recommending women have Pap tests to detect cervical cancer in its earliest stages, the number of deaths from cervical cancer dropped by approximately 74 percent between 1955 and 1992, according to the E Health MD website. Pap tests used to be recommended for women annually; however, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) has recently altered its guidelines for when and how often women should have the test done.
What STDs Do Pap Smears Detect?
Pap smears are a part of annual exams at the gynecologists and play a key role in the early detection of cervical cancer. The pap smear is a swab of the cervical tissue; testing looks for abnormalities or irregularities in the tissue. Pap smears on their own are not comprehensive STD testing, and if you’re sexually active or have unprotected sex, you may want to consider more thorough testing. Some gynecologists typically perform STD testing alongside a pap test, but you should be sure to ask if you would like additional tests.
