Low Antioxidant Levels Associated with Hardening of the Arteries
...
A study looked at 220 men and women without a history of hardening of the arteries. Vitamin A, vitamin E, and Lycopene were decreased by over 50% in the participants who were found out to have hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) when compared to those who did not have any hardening of the arteries. The researchers concluded that regular intake of foods rich in antioxidant vitamins (nutritional supplementation) may slow the progression of hardening of the arteries and its consequences (heart attack or stroke).

The Skinny on:
Phytoestrogen Supplements

In a nutshell-  Phytoestrogens...

  • Occur naturally in nature and have the ability to bind to an estrogen site within the body, without having any estrogen effect
  • Have been shown clinically to reduce many of the menopausal symptoms while at the same time being very safe
  • Some of the most common and best-studied phytoestrogens are: Soy isoflavones; Black Cohosh; Licorice Root; Dong Quai

With all the research pointing to all the negative side effects of prescription Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) attention has been turned to more natural ways to help a woman through the discomforts of menopause.

Menopause is a difficult time in a woman’s life. Medical professionals state that the 3-4 years before a woman stops menstruating are often the most difficult of all. This time period is referred to as ‘Perimenopause.’ Hormonal output of the ovaries doesn’t just stop one day, there is an erratic decrease over time that can cause emotional instability, mental fogginess, hot flashes, night sweats, and even vaginal dryness. Many women only require hormonal support during this time period and for a short time after menopause.
