LavenderBasic Womens Health


The health problems of women are unique in camparison to the male gender. The female body is more complex and requires greater care.

The habits you, as a woman, develop early in life may determine your health in your later years. I don't mean eating habits alone. I mean your personal habits and choices as well as your eating habits.

The 5 major causes of poor health and even death in women are as follows: Cancer, Heart Disease, Accidents, Sucide, and Homicide.

Preventing Cancer. Genetic based cancers like breast cancer are nearly unavoidable. However, catching it early on will greatly increase your chances of survival. Periodic examiniations will catch any cancers early on. QUIT SMOKING and your chances of getting lung cancer or other smoking associated illnesses are significantly decreased.

Preventing heart disease. Again, quit smoking. This also reduces your risk of having a stroke. Watch what you eat and excersize regularly. You needn't work out everyday. Just do something a few times a week that gets your heart going and warms up the muscles. Lose weight if you need to. You will know if you need to or not. If you are on medication, take it as directed. If you start feeling better that means the medication is working and is all the more reason to continue taking it as prescribed. Never stop taking a medication without consulting your doctor. Some medications cannot be stopped suddenly.

Preventing Accidents. Buckle your seat belt. Don't drive angry. Don't drive when you are just too tired. Use common sense on the road. Don't drink and drive. 2 beverages is all it takes to impair your driving.

Suicide. Depression is the no. 1 cause of suicide. If you think you are depressed, go see a qualified professional about it. Here are a few signs of depression: feeling sad or a feeling of hopelessness. Your appetite either increases or decreases. Insomnia or too much sleep. Feeling worthless. Frequent thoughts of suicide. If you are having these signs as well as others. You should seek help.

Prevent homicide. Domestic abuse accounts for a large number of women who are murdered. They choose partners emotionally instead of intelligently. Use common sense when choosing a partner. If you choose a rabid dog, you will end up getting bit. Simple as that. Other causes of homicide are interacting with strangers. When driving, don't pull over for hitch-hikers or strangers in other cars. If you are being flagged down by someone in another car and they are warning you of some kind of problem with your car, pull over in a well lighted spot with plenty of people. Never get out of your car unless you absolutely believe it is safe.

Our thoughts on LavenderMaca Powder - Organic Peruvian Maca Powder.



First of all what is an Acid or for that matter an Alkaline substance? These substances are measured on a pH scale with water being neutral at 7.0. With values less than 7.0 being acid and the lower the pH value the stronger the acid. As you may have guessed alkaline (or base) substances have a value greater than 7.0 up to a maximum of 14. By now you may be wondering where our bodies should fall on this scale. First of all when we speak of an acid/alkaline balance in the body we are talking about the pH balance of our blood and tissues that should remain in a fairly narrow range of about 7.4 � slightly alkaline.

The real heart of the matter here is the byproducts of the digestion of foods that we consume and absorb. The biggest contributors to the fact that ACIDOSIS is at an all time high are the facts that most Americans are consuming beef and/or poultry multiple times per day, Americans are now consuming more soft drinks than water, consumption of coffee (caffeinated & decaffeinated) and lastly the processing of many of our foods have removed all of the alkaline forming minerals. When thinking about the foods that we consume you can not take the natural state of a food as the prime indicator of how that food will interact with our bodies. As an example, most fruits when consumed will result in an alkaline ash residue once digested even though naturally they maybe very high in acid in their natural state, even oranges.

The primary acid forming foods in your diet contain the minerals, sulfur, phosphorus and iron. Typically you will find these minerals in proteins, such as meat, fish, poultry, eggs, grains, most nuts and soft drinks (due to the high phosphate levels).The minerals potassium, calcium, magnesium and sodium form alkaline reactions in the body and are found primarily in fruits and vegetables, and so these foods are classified as alkaline forming foods. As many of you are aware the consumption of alkaline-forming vegetables and fruit is at an all-time low. This has resulted in an increase of acidosis which accelerates catabolic damage and impairs our bodies anabolic repair processes. One of the best examples is the fact that it has been known for a long time that diets high in protein greatly increase the risk of osteoporosis. While there are many theories on this subject it appears that the body is simply taking from one part of the body to help support other systems that have been depleted due to the body staying in such a high state of acidosis.
