Q: Why do companies like Becel margarine support heart health for women, but not men?
If you’re in Canada (maybe other countries too) and go to youtube.com, you might see an ad saying “help make women’s heart disease history”. I think this means the company, Becel, which makes margarine, donates money for health care research for women. But why do they discriminate against men? You could say it’s because women buy most of their margarine, but do women look at the ad and think “yay! All that money is helping to cure me” without thinking about their male relatives and friends?

Also why do you hear about breast cancer drives for women only, even though men sometimes die of the disease?
I thought heart disease was the #1 killer of everybody? And men are about twice as likely to die of a heart attack:

Don’t women shop for their husbands too? Do they care if hubby dies of a heart attack, or only themselves?

A: Because society only cares about the health of women( case in point heart disease, the number 1 killer of women over the age of 70, and a high up there killer of men between 30-50, so society thinks adding another year to ten year of life for an old useless lady{leaching off of SS checks chances are she didn’t earn} is a more worth while goal then adding an additional 20-30 years of life to men who are either in the middle of their most productive years or towards the end, but still productive).

Heart disease is an issue that is a good litmus test if someone is a man-hater or not. People who think women heart disease is more important are man-haters and should be avoided.

Q: what impact doese heart diease have on women’s health and wellness?

A: a very big impact for I watched a show on tv a true story and there was a lady on there that had heart disease and she had to give up work and everthing and certain foods and had 3 surgeries done and that helped her stay alive for a little while longer and she eventually died so just from watching that show it is no joke for i am no doctor or nothing like that but by seeing that was enough.

Q: I’ve was taking One-A-Day women’s that supports bone&breast& heart health .?
This vitamin makes my heart beat faster and i don’t feel good, is this normal?

A: That is not normal. They make an “All Day Energy” vitamin that has caffeine in it; so that would make sense. They might also have one that has ginseng in it – so maybe that could do the same. But it sounds like you are taking the regular one, so that shouldn’t happen. I would stop taking it and mention it to your physician at your next visit.

Q: Why do women’s health issues get so much more attention than men’s? Ex. Breast Cancer, Heart Disease?
Corporations use issues such as Breast Cancer Awareness and Heart Disease for Marketing campaigns and the public falls for it. Do men and children not get sick? What is awareness..how does that DO anything.

A: I think its part of the unspoken American culture in denial to not talk about men’s health issues as much as women’s. Men still have this mocheasmo that keeps them from accepting such health problems. I do think the trend is starting to fade though.

And on the flip side while health issues like prostate or testicalur cancer do not get as much publicity as women health issues – ads about male enhancement and preventing baldness are huge.

A: What’s your question, and why should we pay attention to such old studies?

Q: Wouldn’t long-term hostility affect women’s hearts as much or more than men’s? Why not?
New research: “Hostility In Women Does Not Affect Their Long Term Heart Health”: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/11/051115171537.htm

According to the study: “There was a sex difference in the impact of hostility. After taking account of other influential factors men with *high* hostility scores were *twice* as likely to have recurrent episodes of poor heart health as men with *low* hostility scores.

But there was no difference among the women, irrespective of their hostility scores.

It is unclear how hostility affects cardiovascular health, say the authors, but they suggest that hostility management may be helpful in men to prevent recurrent heart disease.”

Wouldn’t long-term hostility affect women’s hearts as much or more than men’s? Why not? I don’t get why it’s affecting men so much more.

A: I agree. The heart is a fragile organ for both sexes. If women are less prone to heart disease it is because of a better diet. That’s the only thing it could be. We shouldn’t ignore concrete science like what you just posted. I enjoyed reading a factual article free of politics for a change.

Q: need a persuasive essay topic for women’s health?
i have narrowed it down to 3 leading problems in womens health,
1) Heart Disease
2)Lung Cancer (since its even more problematic in women that breast cancer)
3) Breast Cancer

some points i have with heart disease are that it kills 2X as many women than all cancers, only 13%of women actually thin its a threat to their health and yea

for lung cancer i havent got much and same with breast cancer

so I need help with choosing a topic, and then i need something to argue about, ex) smoking causes lung cancer, and things i can persuade the reader for my essay would be great
btw this is for an english persuasive essay, so personal experience, and knowledge is also appreciated. Thank you!

A: You could possibly argue that women who don’t stay physically active or eat the proper nutrients that they should are linked to many health disorders.

then you can state what it can cause;
(a) Heart disease

(b) Lung Cancer

(c) Breast Cancer

Hope I have helped.

Can you answer mine, please and thank-you.

Q: Why does the Cholesterol Theory SCAM continue?
The Cholesterol Theory is NOT supported by any of the scientific reserach yet it thrives.

Clinical Dietary Intervention Trials have completely failed to lower Coronary Heart Disease mortality or overall mortality from the use of saturated fat restriction.

So what does this scam continue?

theory.

Anthony Colpo’s book The Great Cholesterol CON provides PROOF of the SCAM.

You would be PURPLE if you saw the lack of scientific basis behind it.

A: Saturated fat and cholesterol are different. And how can you say “completely failed to lower” CHD…? Obviously lowering your intake of sodium, saturated fat, and cholesterol (it should be all three, not just saturated fat) help with reducing heart disease. But eat what you want, it’s up to you.

Q: Women’s health: What could be wrong…………………………?
I am 22 years old and female. For the last 3 years, I have been constantly tired. I sleep during most of my spare time. Sometimes my heart beat feels irregular. I have a hard time completely tasks and would rather go to sleep.

A: Have you ever had glandular fever? My husband had this when he was 17 or 18 years and now mid to late 30’s and is still suffering from this problem.

High cholesterol, hypothyroidism and diabetes all can make you feel like this. Another cause can be poor intestinal problems can also cause excessive tiredness too. Try an internal cleanse program and see if this helps.
FIRST before anything else
As per the other person’s answer, I would be very inclined to get the Docs advise before doing anything else.

Q: WOMEN”S HEALTH! HELP PLEASE!?
This is in women’s health ‘cuz i want a woman’s opinion…?
i’m a 14 year old girl.
i am infatuated with (i got critized before for using the word love..) a guy. he’s 16, a sophmore, (‘im a freshman) and my best friend. lets call him ry.

we tell each other everything, and we have since we met four years ago. when his gf brokeup with him, he came to me to talk and cry… we have hugged in real life before too.

whenever i’m sad, i go to him. and sometimes he’ll send texts like “-hugs-” or sometimes even “<3" and my heart flutters....

the other night he was sorta down so he was texting me. he was like “-hugs- i’m glad i have you as a friend…” and i’m like “-hugs- i’m glad to have you too…” then he was like “if it wasn’t for you, i would never talk…”

does it sound like he likes me? please answer. and is the age difference weird?

***we have a day off of school today… i’m going to ask him to hang out! tips??!?***

A: There’s only 2 years difference between you so…not a problem, although sometimes in high school it seems like dog years. You say he’s your best friend, well right now he needs a friend and that’s what he sees you as. This crush thing can be kind of tricky but it’s an age old story. It’s going to take time for him to get over this breakup and it truly isn’t a good idea to rush into anything and you don’t want to get into a situation where you may become the rebound girl and ruin the friendship that you have. When a little time has past you could ask him how he feels about your relationship but you’re going to have to be tactful and let him know that you are feeling just a little more than just pals. But for now be patient. You’d just confuse him and scare him off. Just be his friend right now and let him know you’re there for him. As far as hanging out. Just do what you always do, or go to a movie. Zombieland is really good. I just went to see it. It’s funny and for sure he’d like it.

Q: Is it true that Women with big hips live longer?
I have found this research paper about the women’s health on internet. A Swedish scientist named Dr. Lauren Lissner spend 24 years on this research and found out this result. I am quoting this as follows:
A study looking at the hip sizes of around 1,400 women found that those with a larger circumfrance were less likely to suffer from diabetes and heart disease. The hip measurements of Swedish women aged 38 to 60 were taken between 1968 and 1969 and the subjects were followed up 24 years later. The research, which will be revealed at a European conference on obesity in Vienna this week, found that women with a hip size greater than 41in were likely to live longer.

Prof Lauren Lissner, of the Centre for Nutritional Epidemiology at Goteborg University in Sweden, said: “With everything else remaining constant, a lower fat distribution does seem to be beneficial. The women we looked at were all of average weight, between 60kg and 65kg [9st 6lb and 10st 3lb], with a body mass index of between 20 and 25.

“A simplification of our result is that if two women had the same body mass index – weight divided by height squared – the one with the larger hips is better off.” Prof Lissner stressed that none of the women in the study had been obese and that there was an obvious correlation between very large hips and heart disease.

A: Yes, the research paper abstract is avaialble at:

http://www.obesityresearch.org/cgi/content/abstract/9/10/644

Two sexes have significant difference between their
prakruti and physical pratikruti. (nature and appearance)While a woman can be compared to
silk cloth, man to jute cloth. Woman is “prakruti” according to
Indian philosophy. The differences in the body chemistry and minds
are two poles apart. According to Indian customs, cremation requires
burning the body. The last to resist burning to ashes are pelvic
bones in case of women, while similar bones in men are shoulder
bones. Hence the name “prakruti” or “kshetra” for women,
while “Purush” for men, meaning warrior principle, accomplishment-
achievement ambition in men. Many psychiatrists and students of
various branches of social sciences have struggled throughout their
lifetimes to study these differences.

Author has seen many women aged more than 90 and having very silky skin and hair. They had more than ten children and large hips. This means that they have good fertility too. The Vatsayana, (the equivalent of Masters and Johnson in west), who wrote Kamasutra, the oldest treatise on sex and man/woman relationship, describes woman with large hips as “hastini”, the one who looks like an elephant. Do you know the life of elephant?

Vatsaayana says that the hastini woman easy to satisfy in sex, bears more children, her deliveries are easy and is very much attached to children, She has generally large breasts too and feeds every baby well. In short she is destined to be a good mother!

So Dr Lauren Lissner, you have reinvented wheel. Indians have exhausted almost every subject in which west is interested.

Q: Women’s health;; help please!?
pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease help meeeeeee!

the guy i have a crush on is going. there will be about two hours when we’re just sitting.. in the cold……. together……. aloneeee… the problem is,my dad is coming too…….

but usually my dad gets detained. so here’s the relationship between me and this guy:::::
i’m a 14 year old girl.
i am infatuated with (i got critized before for using the word love..) a guy. he’s 16, a sophmore, (‘im a freshman) and my best friend. lets call him ry.

we tell each other everything, and we have since we met four years ago. when his gf brokeup with him, he came to me to talk and cry… we have hugged in real life before too.

whenever i’m sad, i go to him. and sometimes he’ll send texts like “-hugs-” or sometimes even “<3" and my heart flutters....

the other night he was sorta down so he was texting me. he was like “-hugs- i’m glad i have you as a friend…” and i’m like “-hugs- i’m glad to have you too…” then he was like “if it wasn’t for you, i would never talk…”

does it sound like he likes me? please answer. and is the age difference weird?

A: I really like to read it… So innocent and sweet.
But i would say if you are not in hurry, and not sure what to do,, wait for sometimes and do what your heart says. Its all on how much you like the boy.
and would love to listen more from both of you. Add me : ajaydabs – my yahoo id.

Q: Heart Palpitations, fast heartbeat it’s anxiety, how do I treat without resorting to meds?
Out of the blue I get palpitations and a fast heartbeat. It may last for a few hours or a whole day. I know it is anxiety (or hormones–I often get them a week before my period).

My pulse can go up to 110 at reast. What can I do to bring about a calming effect without having to take anti-anxiety meds?

I’m writing this in women’s health since it usually occurs a wk prior to period.

A: moderate cooling of the body will cause systemic vasoconstriction and thus increase blood pressure. A physiological system known as baroreflex will reduce heart rate whenever blood pressure goes up and vice versa.
For example, you could try a gradual cold shower at 20 degrees Celsius. In my experience it’s pretty easy to do and seems to be safe.

I should say that severe cooling of the body such as immersion in ice-cold water will raise BOTH blood pressure and heart rate and also lower core body temperature (will cause hypothermia).
