7 Daily Habits That Are Totally Sapping Your Energy Prevention

You’re addicted to the 24/7 news cycle. Stress: you know it’s an energy killer, but your boss, your to-do list, and your mother-in-law might not be the culprits (well, not entirely). If you’re a Twitter-scroller, a cable news addict, or a rabid headline-watcher, you could be prone to feeling drained, according to research from the University of Montreal. Researchers found women in particular were more susceptible than men to feeling stressed by negative news stories, as well as more likely to remember them....

9 Stress Side Effects That Are Worse Than What You Re Worrying About

It makes you exhaustedAside from the fact that your anxiety might be keeping you up at night, freaking out triggers your brain to release the hormone cortisol into your bloodstream.

A Woman S Guide To Rheumatoid Arthritis

Research shows that the number of women with RA is on the rise. A Mayo Clinic study in 2010 found that the rate of RA in women over the age of 18 increased 30% between 1995 and 2007. It’s estimated that the number of Americans with RA is now 1.5 million. No one knows exactly why RA is on the rise, but vitamin D deficiency has emerged as a possible culprit, says Cynthia Crowson, a biostatistician and RA researcher at the Mayo Clinic and coauthor of the study....

Acid Reflux And Esophageal Cancer Prevention

Yep, you read that right: acid reflux, of which heartburn is a symptom, can actually cause cancer—cancer of the esophagus, to be exact. And even if you had heartburn problems years ago and they seem to have gone away, this is one health issue you shouldn’t ignore. Before you start freaking out, let’s look at the facts. The problem starts when stomach acid splashes up into the esophagus. This is known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or simply acid reflux, and it can trigger painful symptoms like heartburn, or more subtle ones like a constant cough or scratchy throat....

Anti Aging Products You Should Skip Prevention

Growth-enhancing eyelash serums If you’re looking for some magic in that mascara wand, you won’t find any, says Ranella Hirsch, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in Boston. “Most of those lash enhancing products are actually just conditioners, which provide moisture, and they often make growth claims beyond what can do,” she says. The only true lash-lengthening product is FDA-approved Latisse, but you’ll have to ask your derm for a prescription. But before you try it, know that a 30-day kit will run you about $120 and can trigger red, itchy eyes and, rarely (but alarmingly), permanent darkening of the skin near your lashes or of the iris itself....

Aromatherapy Reduced Burnout And Stress Prevention

Aromatherapy appears to be an effective remedy for symptoms of burnout, according to a new study published in The Journal of Alternative and Complimentary Medicine. The phenomenon of “burnout,” if you’re lucky enough to be unfamiliar with it, is akin to stress but more severe in nature. It’s also difficult to define and even diagnose, according to the National Institutes of Health, because symptoms can vary so widely. What experts do know, however, is that burnout tends to be characterized by fatigue, aches and pains, a cynical attitude toward work, and reduced productivity at the office and at home....

Asthma Relief For Kids Prevention

What experts suspect: Childhood obesity, an onslaught of asthma triggers (dust, pet dander, emissions from stoves and heaters, and outdoor air pollution), and even “hyperhygienic” homes that coddle infants’ immune systems may all play a role. What they know: Cutting-edge research shows that the best lung protector for children with asthma is an inhaler loaded with daily doses of corticosteroids. Yet three out of four asthmatic kids are untreated—in part because potent steroids scare many parents and family doctors....

Breaking Out Down Below Prevention

“The hair becomes ingrown and infected, usually after shaving or waxing,” she says. You can treat it with a wash containing benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or glycolic acid, or try an over-the-counter antibiotic cream (with all, avoid inner areas). The only surefire prevention is to leave the hair alone or use a laser to remove it, though some women find that switching to an electric razor helps. If your bumps are itchy, painful, large, or don’t clear up with treatment, Lupo advises seeing a gynecologist or a dermatologist....

Celiac Disease When Your Gut Screams No

Undiagnosed CD can lead to intestinal damage, gastrointestinal cancers, and serious autoimmune disorders such as insulin-dependent diabetes. In addition, the nutritional deficiencies that are a hallmark of the disease can precipitate a host of seemingly unrelated problems, including osteoporosis and even fetal distress. (Low folic acid stores in moms can predispose unborn babies to serious neurological problems such as spina bifida.) Getting diagnosed isn’t easy, but try to persevere: Once you know you have CD, dietary changes can soothe your stomach and reverse the damage that can lead to more serious illness....

We have a wonderful childhood vaccine program that protects us,” he told Prevention.com. “Yet we reach our adult years and face all these adult-onset cancers like breast cancer, ovarian cancer and prostate cancer.” This led him to his groundbreaking finding: a single vaccine could prevent breast cancer tumors from occurring in mice genetically bred to develop the disease as well as stop the growth of already present breast cancer tumors....
