Raw Food Diet is Essential For Beautiful Skin

You all know that vitamin C is included in the skincare products to reduce wrinkles. So why spend money and buy costly beauty products, instead intake it directly through natural food source. Custard apple, orange, longan, kiwi, guava, strawberry, pomelo and papaya are some foods found rich in vitamin C. If you have a habit of taking snacks at work then eat carrots instead of cookies and chips. I know it sounds like a retarded to eat carrots in office  but if you want a beautiful, glowing, radiant skin then become a retard one  . Moreover you can purchase pre-packed salad and sliced fruits from the super market too.

There are others recipes too to beautify your skin but this is the most cheapest and natural one with lasting results. You can get a glowing, radiant skin only if your diet is healthy, balanced and nutritious. So try taking as much as raw fruits and vegetables as you can, but don’t start eating raw meat  or you’ll become like a Carnivore

Spending has been cut almost across the board when it comes to state and local issues, and federal subsidies have been available but spread thin. While public health has been as much on the chopping block as any other sector of the states’ budgets, many have reduced spending in other areas in order to sustain health programs, while some have even increased spending in this area because of its vital importance to the American people.

Postmenopausal women between the ages of 50 and 76 who took fish oil were 32% less likely to develop certain types of breast cancer than women who didn’t, the study found.

The researchers looked at 14 other popular supplements (including gingko biloba, black cohosh, soy, and St. John’s wort), but only fish oil—which contains concentrated amounts of the omega-3 fatty acids found in salmon, tuna, and other fish—had any connection to breast cancer risk.

Despite their findings, the researchers say it’s too soon to recommend that women start taking fish oil to stave off breast cancer.

“People should try to achieve nutrients through a healthy diet, so eating fish is a better recommendation than fish oil,” says the lead author of the study, Emily White, PhD, an epidemiologist at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, in Seattle. “We think that fish oil is promising in terms of disease prevention, but it’s not proven.”

Hot flashes, insomnia, mood swings, and the other symptoms of menopause can be unpleasant and difficult to manage. Hormone therapy (HT) can help in the short term, but long-term HT can increase a woman’s risk of breast cancer, stroke, and heart attacks
