What Celeb Do You Think Wouldn't Look Fit Under Her Clothes?

There are fit celebs (the ones who eat right, work out, don't smoke and whose toned bods prance around Malibu beaches) and then there are those who are questionably fit (maybe they love junk food, smoke and have never seen the inside of a gym, but look great in clothes thanks to fabulous stylists). Fit vs. questionably fit? Let's make our best guesses ...


For starters, I think Nicollette Sheridan is the complete package. At 44, she's in better shape than most women half her age! I'd also vote for Angelina Jolie and Reese Witherspoon.


Now, how about ambiguously fit celebs? Anyone on your list? I'll throw out a few random names and let you decide: Kristin Dunst, Tara Reid, Mariah Carry, Courtney Love?

Weighty Conversations: Don't Measure Your Self-Worth

Do you allow a number on a scale to make or break your day? A three digit number does not measure your self-worth.


Do you allow a number on your bathroom scale to make or break your day? Wouldn’t it be absurd to let the temperature, the date or the Dow-Jones determine how you feel about yourself or how your day will go? They’re all just numbers but for some, weight has the power to change a mood and ruin a morning.


The scale does not measure your self-worth. It simply measures the weight of your tissues (including your bones, muscle and fat) and substances that are just passing through (like water, food and waste). Your weight can fluctuate dramatically depending on time of day, hormones, when you last ate and other factors – none of which have anything to do with your value as a person.

The Photo I'm Completely Haunted By (Help Me Solve This Health Mystery From 1947)

If you got an STD in 1947, your mugshot may have ended up on a wall of shame--well, in some places of the world. Yeah, this practice completely disregarded patient privacy and was 100% sexist (you guessed it: no walls of shame for men). You have to check out a photo of a woman on one of these walls of shame that is absolutely haunting me (mystery lovers, help me solve this!), and new warnings from health experts about a rise in syphilis cases...


Check out this photo from 1947, which appears to be in Germany. The vintage shot shows a military guy perusing the "VD Hall of Fame" bulletin board (presumably to screen future sexual partners), where photos of women who've tested positive for venereal diseases, namely syphilis, are displayed mug-shot style. The women are holding signs with their names and addresses, which I guess was supposed to frighten men away from having sex with them.

The Mysterious Vitamin You May Not Be Getting Enough Of

You're up on C, D, even B--but vitamin K? It's one you want to know about, say experts. According to some studies, if your age falls between 18 and 44, there's a good chance that you're not getting enough of this important vitamin, which plays a critical role in bone health--a biggie for women of all ages.


According to Esther Kim a dietician and blogger for Diet.com, even if you take a multivitamin, it may not pack enough K. See what she had to say.


"Most multivitamins do not include or provide adequate amounts of Vitamin K in their formulation," she says, "so make sure to check and switch to a different brand or supplement with additional vitamin K."

Tea Party has Obama Complaining and Comedians Railing

In the same breath with which President Obama speaks of the Tea Party movement he has also complained that there are people who actually question whether he was born in the United States. The inference being that all Tea Partiers are among those now known as birthers. Is this true; let’s see.


In fact it is not true. While no one has taken a scientific poll of the Tea Partiers it is clear from those who have spoken out on it that some of them are and, some are not. What is not so clear is just how this ‘birther’ movement came about. Who gave birth to the birther movement?


Many would say it is Philip Berg or World Net Daily, Orly Taitz or everyone named in the many lawsuits that have been filed to uncover Obama birth and school records. Using the KISS method of deductive reasoning the birth of the movement can be traced directly back to the President himself.

Foot Drop Treatment

The following article will take you through the techniques of foot drop treatment and will tell you how to deal with it. Continue reading for more information.


Foot drop is a condition that is characterized by the inability of a person to flex or move their ankle and toe muscles effectively, which results in a person dragging their toes over the ground and walking with an added effort in their gait. This is usually brought on by the paralysis of the muscles in that section of the foot. There are several reasons that bring on this foot problem. These could be due to certain disorders of the mind (cerebral palsy), heart disease or stroke or certain others that have to do with motor neuron functions (polio, spinal stenosis).

Coffee and a Nap

Medical researchers say a cup of espresso and a short nap not only are a pleasant ways to end a hearty meal -- the combination can be downright healthy.


Professor Ian MacDonald of Britain's Nottingham University says a healthy meal with a high carbohydrate content, such as potatoes and pasta or sugary fast foods, can have a decidedly unhealthy after-effect -- a drop in blood pressure.


Which is where a stiff cup of coffee comes in. What that very civilized habit does is to send caffeine into the system, helping to constrict blood vessels and boost blood pressure, MacDonald says.


Nodding off for an hour or so is another way to let a hearty meal settle. It's a good method to help avoid possible problems from a decrease in blood pressure, MacDonald says.

Flea Facts And Information

Learn everything you wanted to know about fleas and a few things you probably didn't.


Enlarge Image


Fleas have been around for millions of years, sucking the blood of animals and humans. Fleas live on pets, mammals, in carpets, in sofas as well as other household and farm goods. In a typical room, 5 percent of the fleas will be found on pets, 10 percent flea cocoons in the carpets, 35 percent flea larvae and 50 percent flea eggs again in the carpets. Female Fleas lay eggs that turn in to grub-like larvae. The larvae then develop in to pupae and settle inside a cocoon. They wait for a host to start their life and suck blood. When something warm moves pass by the pupae, they unzip the cocoon and jump on the animal or human body. All this happens in three seconds and the flea can jump as high as four feet.

Expert Advice: Bad Skin Day?

QUESTION: Whenever I get too little sleep or have a stressful day, my skin looks awful. What can I do to perk it up on bad days?


ANSWER: Some say the eyes are the windows to your soul, but beauty insiders know that your skin is the window to your state of mind! When we're anxious, stressed out, running low on sleep, or otherwise down, our skin responds. Circulation hits a slump, robbing our cheeks of their rosiness; hormones kick in, causing an odd pimple to pop up unexpectedly; and thin-skinned areas seem to become more so, making dark circles and shadows look prominent. The result: Not only do we feel less than great, we look it, too.

Exercise-Induced Sniffles: Do You Get Them?

Today, over at FitSugar, the gals are blogging about the connection between working out and runny noses. Apparently, it's a real condition that affects lots of athletes--and regular people, too (you?). More on the fitness sniffles after the jump ...


According to FitSugar: "The condition is called exercise-induced rhinitis, and it's actually pretty common among athletes. I know it sounds strange, but for some people, working out can trigger congestion, sinus pain, runny nose, headaches, itchy eyes, asthma, hives, and in rare cases, even anaphylaxis. Exercise itself can be the sole trigger, but sometimes it's the combination of exercise plus another trigger such as pollen or cold weather that produces symptoms."

Exercise Curbs Diabetes

Physical activity -- even taking a short walk, can lower the risk for developing diabetes and heart disease, a new study says.


Writing in The Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers at the University of South Carolina say non-vigorous physical activity as well as vigorous scheduled exercise can cut the risk of the debilitating disease by heightening the body's insulin sensitivity.


The scientists looked at more than 1,460 men and women ranging in age from 40 to 69 years. All the subjects had glucose tolerance ranging from normal to mild non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.


The researchers' findings indicate that habitual exercise, while not necessarily as intense or vigorous as running or working out on exercise machines, can be beneficial. This is true for lowering the risk for diabetes and also for cardiovascular disease. The benefits, they say, "may be considerable because interventions could be designed that incorporate an already common and presumably acceptable behavior [walking] that is inexpensive and accessible to large segments of the population."

Exercise and Your Mental Health

Mental health refers to more than the absence of psychological disease -- it is a continuum and includes growth toward optimum personal potential. Mental health is also a broad concept and includes aspects like depression, anxiety, mood states, cognitive performance and sleep patterns.


Feelings of anxiety decrease immediately after exercise and can be reduced with a short burst (five to 10 minutes) of exercise. The effect can last for 24 hours and the longer the duration of the exercise sessions, the better the effect.


The type of the exercise does not appear to be crucial, but the shorter the duration of the exercise, the more important it is to work up at least a sweat when you exercise. Longer-lasting results are found among people who stick to exercise regimes for at least 10 weeks.If you want to reduce anxiety, competitive exercise or sports that require a high amount of skill like tennis and golf is probably not a good choice. Examples of suitable sports are cycling, running, yoga, 10-pin bowling, tramping, pilates, bowling, rowing and kayaking.

Excess Weight Without the Health Risks?

WASHINGTON -- For as long as we can remember, we've all heard about the health dangers of excess weight. Especially the connection between obesity and heart disease or diabetes. But what if you could be fat but avoid heart disease or diabetes?


Scientists trying to break the fat-and-disease link increasingly say inflammation is the key. Reduce inflammation and you can avoid many of these common illnesses.


In the quest to prove it, a major study is under way testing whether an anti-inflammatory drug -- an old, cheap cousin of aspirin -- can fight the Type 2 diabetes spurred by obesity.


And intriguing new research illustrates how those yellow globs of fat lurking under the skin are more than a storage site for extra calories. They're a toxic neighborhood where inflammation appears to be born.

Everything Is Bad for Us: Now Researchers Take Aim at ... Sunscreen!

First we're told to slather our bods in sunscreen to protect ourselves from skin cancer. But wait, could that sunscreen be ... dangerous?! A group of scientists in Europe have been given a large grant to research whether the nanoparticles (code for tiny, molecule-sized ingredients) in sunscreen could cause brain damage related to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.

Eat to Beat Heart Disease

Studies show that following a Mediterranean- or Asian-style diet can reduce the risk of dying of heart disease. Some food for thought:


Mediterranean Basics


Lentils: A large-scale study from Tulane University of nearly 10,000 men and women found that those who ate legumes at least four times a week cut their risk of developing cardiovascular disease by 22 percent. "Beans like easy-to-prepare lentils lead the pack in terms of foods rich in soluble fiber, which has been proven to lower levels of LDL, or 'bad' cholesterol," explains Janet Brill, Ph.D., R.D., author of Cholesterol Down (Crown Publishing Group, 2006). They are also digested slowly -- which helps to balance blood-glucose levels.

Eat Smart During the Holidays

You can enjoy holiday treats and still zip up your jeans if you're careful. Health experts at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore have some good ideas on how to do it.


Lorraine Giangrandi of the Hopkins Weight Management Center says if you love holiday pies, enjoy the pie filling, but forego the crust -- you'll cut out a lot of calories that way. If you're baking the pie, use a graham cracker crust and get the same effect.


To cut fat out of cakes, replace half the butter or oil in the recipe with applesauce. To enhance the flavor of turkey or other meats without adding fat, use fresh herb rubs or chutneys instead of gravy.

Eat Grapes, Stay Healthy

A little fresh-fruit snack may put you on the fast track to better blood flow.


People in a study experienced better blood flow in their brachial arteries just three hours after eating the equivalent of one and a quarter cups of grapes. At 60 calories a delicious cup, that's a pretty juicy deal.


Many Benefits


The blood flow benefits were even better after three weeks of consistent eating.


Researchers think it may be the antioxidants in grapes that help keep blood vessels relaxed and blood flowing freely.


In fact, grapes may even help protect your blood vessels from fatty meals -- something that normally does immediate, transient damage. And early animal research suggests that something in grapes may help protect your blood pressure from salty foods, too. But more research is still on.

Cialis soft tabs- Empowering Male sexual health

Not long ago, men were considered to be old horses (no pun intended) as far as sex was concerned once they crossed 50 years. Not any more, today modern medicine has progressed to such a level that men are not only expected to be physically active, but are also expected to be sexually active, well past their prime.


That is why, men’s health in middle age is so important today. Most men probably are not aware of the strong relationship between remaining fit and good male sexual health.


Good male sexual health is defined as the ability to perform satisfactory sexual intercourse which is satisfying to both the man and his partner and enhances their overall psychological feeling of well being.

Eat and Stay Thin?

The dream of anyone with a weight problem is to eat to their heart and stomach's content without adding the avoirdupois. Researchers say that day may not be far off -- and that genetics could provide the answer.


Scientists at Montreal's McGill University say they have discovered a gene that seems to control the way in which the body burns up food. They are convinced that drugs can be developed to switch this gene off, thus enabling us to gobble up our food with no fear of the weighty consequences.


With the gene made inactive, it would make little difference to the body, whether it was taking in cottage cheese or chocolate chip cookies -- and tasteless skimmed milk could go down the drain in favor of the full-cream stuff. More importantly, researchers say, a drug to control this gene could offer hope to millions of sufferers of diabetes.

Dry Scalp and Hair Loss

A dry scalp and subsequent hair loss is a common problem faced by many of us around the world. In some cases, it's the climatic conditions of the place we live in, or something we are or are not eating. Sometimes, it's just our hormones. Here, you can find out the causes and remedies for dry scalp and hair loss.


A simple explanation for dry scalp and hair loss is that, when the hair is dry, it turns brittle. In such a situation, the hair tends to break or fall more often. Also, dry scalp causes itchiness. When we scratch our head, it causes the hair to weaken and fall, resulting in severe hair loss. However, the problems of dry scalp and hair loss are highly misunderstood. This is the reason, why most of us end up shooting in the dark, and trying out several treatments for our hair, without knowing the actual root of the problem. This in turn leads to other hair related problems. For instance, if one uses a shampoo to treat dry hair, it may result in hair loss as a reaction to certain ingredients. It is very important to identify one's hair type and the condition they are dealing with, before plunging into the plethora of so-called 'off-the-shelf hair treatment solutions'.

Dry Eyes at Night

Dry eyes occur when there is deficiency of tears on the eye surface. Its symptoms bother us the most at night. Hence, in this article we are highlighting mainly the issue of dry eyes at night.


Our eyes are covered with a thin film of tears that remain invisible. These tears help to maintain our eyes in a lubricated condition. Production of tears take place in a gland called lacrimal gland which is present at the top of the eyeball. The tears produced then get spread into tiny tear ducts at the front of the eyeball and also into the nose.

Dry Eye Syndrome

What is chronic dry eye syndrome? This article will help you know the details about causes, symptoms and treatments of dry eye syndrome.


Dry eye syndrome is a common disorder related to tear film in our eyes. Your eyes are coated with a thin film of tears in order to keep the vision optimal and comfortable. Three layers of the tear film are as follows. The mucus layer which is the innermost and the thinnest layer, the aqueous layer which is largest and thickest and the lipid layer which is most superficial and thin. The aqueous layer consists of dilute saltwater solution. This layer is produced by the lacrimal glands which are present under the upper lids and the accessory tear glands. This layer keeps your eye moist and comfortable. It also helps remove off any dust, or foreign objects that might get into the your eye. Chronic dry eye syndrome is commonly caused due to defects in this aqueous layer. Dry eye syndrome, also referred to as keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) is caused due to decreased tear production or excessive tear evaporation.
