?Latina Guide to Health’ gives real information

Well, long time no see! folks! something delayed me and i should make apologys for i didn’t show u the health care guides these days! so, let me do something for you, here the health care news i got from net, hope you’d like it!

Something’s not quite right, and you’re beginning to think it might be time to find una doctora, or maybe a sobandera might be the person to see. When you were a little girl, a sobandera helped your abuelita. Can she help you?

It doesn’t matter. Perhaps it’s your cultura or maybe it’s because you don’t know what medicina can do for you, but the facts are that you’re not feeling well, you don’t know what to do, and you’re scared. By reading “The Latina Guide to Health” (Newmarket Press, 240 pages, .95) by Jane L. Delgado, Ph.D., M.S., though, you can get real information, real help, and you can start feeling better.

“Latinas are different in subtle ways that have a huge impact on our lives,” says Dr. Delgado early in this book. Familia, for instance, means “so much more” to Latinas but that strength can become a weakness. Stress and expectations based on cultura affect the way a Latina takes care of herself. Some women feel uncomfortable with “today’s medicina.”

Those are only some of the reasons Dr. Delgado wrote this book. As of last year, Latinas account for one of every six women in the United States. Latinas have a higher rate of diabetes than non-Hispanic white women, but a lower rate of other major diseases.

Latinas have a higher-than-average rate of cervical cancer but are less likely to get regular Pap tests. And Latinas struggle with obesity, though Dr. Delgado says they may not need to because their bodies are “built differently.”

Though she acknowledges that Latinas are often reluctant to seek medical aid due to their culture, Delgado reassures anxious patients with easy ideas and tips for becoming comfortable with doctors and hospitals. Medical science, she says, is now more relevant to the Latina population and it’s more important than ever for Hispanic women to take charge of their health and that of their children.

You might be scared to seek la doctora, but there’s no reason for that.

“One thing’s for certain,” says Delgado firmly. “Today’s health care system is not your mother’s medicina … Aguantando is not what either we or our family members should do.”

Filled with empowering advice, an easy-to-use glossary, and solid information, “The Latina Guide to Health” is a good primer for Latinas who need the very, very basics when it comes to health care. And I do mean basic.

Delgado cuts through mythology to present realities about dozens of illnesses and diseases, but her explanations often seem geared to children rather than to grown women.

Paragraphs later, she offers more adult-like advice before reverting to simplistic language again. This may either mystify readers or annoy them, depending on what they expect to get from this guide.

Still, if you’re concerned about your health or looking for useful resources, this isn’t a bad book to have around. “The Latina Guide to Health” can only help you sentirse de maravilla again.

The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer. Schlichenmeyer has been reading since she was 3 years old and never goes anywhere without a book. She lives on a hill in Wisconsin with two dogs and 11,000 books

How to find a quality solution and real help for hair loss.

 

Although hair loss is far more frightening for women than for men, both sexes are horrified when they find they are losing their hair. There are dozens of factors that contribute to hair loss, from illness to incorrect hair care, and excessive dyeing which is the case more so for women than for men. The first step in combating hair loss is to evaluate exactly what is the cause, and this may even mean a trip to the doctor. It is important to realize that some diseases have hair loss as early symptoms of a more serious disease. Diabetics can also lose hair faster so this is an important factor that must be checked out by a doctor. Other factors contributing to speedy hair loss include worry, excessive stress, surgery and even major life traumas.  Most people that look for help for hair loss sufferers will come across shampoos and creams that can be used directly on their hair and scalp. Do you know that the real solution to treating hair loss is better from within?

 

Some useful advice for hair Loss sufferers.

3. Pay careful attention and be a lot more aware of how you are treating your hair.  Do not excessively pull at it, brush it harshly with hard brushes and combs, or use chemical harsh shampoos. Reduce the use of dyes especially if you are women because your scalp and hair is a lot more sensitive. Try and use blow dryers and curling irons sparingly, and let your hair dry naturally as much as possible.

 

4. You can investigate the wide variety of products that available to reduce hair loss and if you have not heard of Provillus, which is one of the leading products on the market that can help hair loss sufferers then it is definitely worth looking into.  The quicker you begin looking for a solution to your hair loss the better, and using the most effective products as mentioned above for example will provide fast results. This can curb your hair loss from within and even get your hair to start re-growing again. Products like Provillus as mentioned above which work from within your body rather than directly on your hair, should be used with the first signs of more than normal hair loss.

 

5. Try other natural remedies, such as the well known Saw Palmetto (primarily for hair loss in men), and other essential oils and herb solutions which can be massaged into your scalp. Just keep in mind that every body is unique and will respond differently to different treatments that are available on the market.
