Study: Soy May Benefit Breast Cancer Survivors
In recent studies, women who have had breast cancer and are frequently consuming Soy are less likely to die or have a reoccurrence of cancer. The study on Soy helping breast cancer survivors is followed from a study done in China from 5,000 women who underwent a mastectomy for about four years in which the women consumed about 15 grams or more of Soy a day. In the past doctors were skeptic and believed that Soy was bad for breast cancer patients, and most believe that this new study has caused a major turn around and is now believed to really improve the likeliness of better health for these cancer patients. Soy are rich in naturally occurring estrogens, which in most breast cancer cases the estrogen is what is needed to make the cancer grow, but now with the study being published it looks that having that much estrogen helps protect the immune system from the amount of estrogen that can be produced to form cancer cells. Although this study was taken it has yet to be confirmed in the United States that soy actually helps keep Estrogen levels down in women with estrogen-sensitive breast cancer. If you or anyone you know has been suffering with this horrible cancer, please take a long look at this article and also some of the other links provided on that website about the benefits or disadvantages of soy products and breast cancer.
The Danger of Energy Pills: The popularity of energy pills comes with a scary downside
Have you ever felt so overwhelmed and tried that you didn’t think you’d make it through your long list of things to accomplish that day? Well now, some mom’s and even students are misusing prescription pills that are used for people who have ADHD. These drugs can be obtained legally through a doctor, through friends who don’t use their prescriptions and through the illegal pharmaceutical black market. Consumers have been trying to get these “energy pills” so that they can function with an awake mindset and ability to accomplish several tasks without being distracted or tired. One of the most popular pills that most consumers are trying to receive at this time is the drug called Provigil, which is supposed to help with wakefulness in people with conditions like narcolepsy and sleep apnea. These pills are amphetamines that can have serious side effects to your health such as sudden death. This article in Women’s Health gives several good tips about seeking advice from a physician because you could be harming yourself by taking these prescriptions pills if they are not prescribed to you. A warning to those who might be taking this drug without the proper advice you should highly consider the risks of using pills such as these for the potential abuse and addiction problems young Americans are facing today because they thought this was the miracle pill. Get all the information you need from reading this article on the new big deal, “energy pills.”
Stretching: Focus on flexibility: You can stretch anytime, anywhere. Consider the benefits of stretching, such as increased flexibility and circulation. Then ready, set, stretch!
Every day I complain to someone in my family that somewhere one of my muscles is aching or that I have horrible pains in my back. Well the first advice that comes out of anyone is that I need to be stretching on a daily basis. So I thought that for my final suggested reading I would find an excellent article on stretching so that everybody could receive the same good advice that I did and better their health. I found an article by the Mayo Clinic Staff that states what the benefits of stretching would do after any sort of workout because while working out you contract and flex muscles. Some of the benefits of stretching in this article are; increased flexibility, range of motion in your joints, improves circulation and also relieves stress. Another thing the article mentions are the six essentials to stretching which are; target major muscle groups, warm up first, pace yourself, don’t bounce, focus on pain free stretch, and relax and breathe freely. This article explains that even if you do not exercise or workout you should stretch at least three times a week or even more if you have a certain area that hurts you more, like my frequent back pain. Remember stretching is fun and can only benefit you more!

Magical Fish Spas and Treatments
I would have never imagined that a little healing fish called the Garra Rufa, or also known as the doctor or nibble fish found in warm pools of water and hot springs can be very healing and therapeutic for humans looking for the fish to feed off of their flesh for the natural treatment of skin disease and also used for foot, body and facial treatments. These spas are becoming a common thing to do in areas such as China, Turkey, Japan and South Korea. The fish do what some people call “kissing the skin” taking away old dead flesh from the skin leaving it healthy and beautiful. Some useful thoughts for those consumers who are considering an easy stress relieving treatment it could also help with relaxation, better blood circulation, and with common release of fatigue. Although this treatment might seem weird and a little creepy with the idea that fish are going to be feeding at your dead skin, this kind of treatment has been proven to be quite beneficial to the beauty and health of your skin.
I read up on a few websites containing information about this mysterious spa treatment that is aimed at improving consumer’s health in a new fashion and it seems to be the new thing when traveling overseas for pleasure. For the fish to do what they do best it is in the consumers best interest to find out where these fish came from because they work their “magic” when bred in places like their natural habitat to maintain that they will still possess these miracle skin cleansing. One medical issue that consumers suffer is a skin condition called psoriasis with a lot of dead flaky irritable skin that Garra Rufa like to nibble on because it is taking away the bad dead skin and helping the skin condition for the time being . Although this doesn’t cure the disease it does help the patients to deal with their skin condition that they’re skin can be as healthy as possible.
Next time you are planning a trip overseas or even if you decide to start your own spa. The Garra Rufa would be a fun, enjoyable experience for any adult especially those with the skin condition Psoriasis to help make your skin as healthy and lovely as ever.

Tea is the number one consumed beverage around the world and most people believe that only green tea can improve your health, but when I came across the article, “The Best Beneficial Teas for Good Health” I found that many teas can be excellent for improving your health. Tea contains antioxidants that can be good for fighting of cancer, and heart disease. Oolong, green, white and black teas are especially valuable over even vegetables and fruit. These teas are derived from the Camellia Sinensis which has healing properties. As to previous belief by consumers, Herbal teas do not have the same healing properties as do those other teas that come in many flavors and colors. Herbal Teas can help with stress relief and also upset stomachs.

Another good result of tea is that it contains about half the caffeine that coffee contains. Tea is also considered to boost your immune system to fight off infection so you can find a lot of different great types and brands of teas for when you are feeling a little blue.
So the next time you are at the grocery store you should check out the tea isle and see what kind of tea would be beneficial for your health and also delectable at the same time.
