10 myths and facts about testosterone in women

by Barbara Minton

(Health Secrets) It’s difficult to go a day without seeing a commercial promoting testosterone replacement for men. It’s a great idea because testosterone is the dominant male steroid hormone, and low testosterone has been shown to increase risk of death from all causes. But here is a surprising fact: Testosterone is the most the abundant steroid hormone in women too, and it is just as biologically active in women as it is in men. So why don’t we see commercials for testosterone therapy in women? Renown researchers and anti-aging specialists Drs. Rebecca Glaser and Constantine Dimitrakakis have given us the answer to that question in their recently released report entitled Testosterone therapy in women: Myths and misconceptions. Read More.

Black-Eyed Peas

Black-Eyed Peas

Don't Forget to Start New Years Off with Black-eyed Peas
Did you know that black-eyed peas were first domesticated in Africa over 5000 years ago? It's true, and black slaves introduced them to the New World hundreds of years ago along with the belief that they brought good luck. Since then black-eyed peas have become a New Year's tradition for bringing good luck for the entire year in the South and much of the rest of the country. Get 2015 off to a tasty, healthy and lucky start with one of the following recipes:

This Southern dish dates back to the 19th century and, while it is a great dish to serve any time of the year, it is widely served on New Year’s Day in homes across the country. Featuring black-eyed peas, a type of bean, each serving provides an excellent source of fiber. Foods containing dietary fiber can reduce your chances of developing colorectal cancer.

Here is a great spicy black-eyed pea and black bean salsa recipe you can serve with tortilla chips which is aptly described as "very addicting". Make this fresh or make it in advance and take along for holiday outings and family get togethers. As noted in the instructions and ingredients, you can make a quick version of this recipe by using canned ingredients, but - though the quick version will taste great - if you take the time to use fresh ingredients and cook dried peas and beans, it will be even better. Which ever way you go, You and your guests are sure to be coming back for more and more. In other words, don't expect any leftovers! And remember, black-eyed peas on New Year's Day brings good luck for the entire year.

This recipe came from Bina Toniyat of Bangalore, India. Onions - one batch stewed with black-eyed peas, the other pureed with fresh coconut - sweeten the curry, made extra-creamy by the slow breakdown of the black-eyed peas. Don't worry about the number of chilis - the coconut and peas tend to absorb some of the peppers' heat.

However, even though we know better, hangovers do happen to some of us. Using a bit of common sense and natural remedies can help prevent future hangovers and take the bite out of ones that do happen.Read More.

‘Gluten-free’ and ‘vegan’ not as healthy as you think

‘Gluten-free’ and ‘vegan’ not as healthy as you think

by Ethan Huff

(Health Secrets) Are you eating gluten-free, vegetarian, or vegan? Maybe a better question would be, Do you know what is contained in that gluten-free pizza, veggie burger, or soy protein you are eating? These stylish ways of eating are being embraced by people whether they have food allergies or not, under the mantra of being healthy. But products designed to appeal to those eating alternatively are often packaged, processed, and contain more than about half a dozen ingredients. And they are probably no healthier than traditional processed foods, even if they doesn’t contain gluten or animal based products. Read More.

(The Best Years in Life) If you've been considering buying yourself a Bowflex or similar machine for Christmas, consider a cheaper alternative: a desk. A Bowflex machine and it's competitors work with bendable cables that create resistance, but you can buy exercise cables that work the same way for a lot less. The only advantage a machine like the Bowflex has is that it comes with a seat and something to hold the cables. Your desk can do most of that and more. There are also many effective exercises you can do with your bodyweight. Read More.

You Have More than One Stomach!

by Carolyn Dean MD ND

(The Best Years in Life) Like most of us who are on the internet, I get a lot of emails, newsletters and blogs about the imminent state of collapse of the world. But then I still wake up the next day and the sun still rises.

How do our minds rationalize the incredible stress of doom and gloom targeting us from every angle? According to Total Biology/German New Medicine, our minds don’t rationalize. In order to prevent the disaster that our mind is being told exists, the mind will put some of this stress into the body as a way of coping. This results in a physical disease or symptoms that supposedly are trying to distress the mind and “solve the problem.”

But even this enlightened way of looking at stress and illness doesn’t take into account the many bodies that each of us currently inhabits. I have a chapter in my Death by Modern Medicine eBook, Death by Media that discusses our four bodies. Read More.

Avocado, Cheddar and Sprouts Pockets with Tangy Lime Mayo

It's easy to make a distinctive sandwich for an outdoor party when using pita breads. Here, sprouts, red onion, avocado, cheddar cheese, and a lime mayonnaise combine to make a healthy meal. This fast, delicious sandwich is California-cool which would be great on a hot summer's day, but delicious any time of year. The monounsaturated fats in avocado can actually lower bad cholesterol and are healthy in many other ways as well. Plus, with a bit of extra effort or extra purchased items you can make or buy gluten-free pocket pita bread and a much healthier mayonnaise that is free of soy and canola.

Exercises to Prevent Core Instability

Exercises to Prevent Core Instability

by Sárka-Jonae Miller
See more articles by Sárka-Jonae Miller

(The Best Years in Life) Ask most people what core exercises are and you'll likely get an answer pertaining to six pack abs. In reality, working one's core has little to do with muscle definition and everything to do with stability, specifically of the torso. Even more specifically, the spine.

If you allow the muscles that support the spine to get weak, you might see diminished posture and balance, but more likely than not you risk significant back pain and injury. A few simple exercises will help prevent instability and give you a foundation for a truly strong core. Building a six pack on top of that is completely optional. Read More.
