			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="padding: 5px;" src="http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl1/1/12981/36_2008/hair.jpg" alt="Dandruff and Hair Health" width="220" align="left" />There are two types of dandruff: fat and dry. Based on that are part of the first or second category, care will be different. The oily dandruff is usually the result of an untreated hair. This problem can <a href="http://www.capitalbrasileiradacultura2007.com/beauty-secrets-for-hair.htm">lead to hair loss</a>, scalp and suffocate.</p>
<p>One of the easiest ways to remedy this evil which many men is to use a clay mask green. With this, first we treat the excess sebum from the scalp. They are not attacking the roots with too strong products, prioritizing the use of mild shampoos.</p>
<p>In the case of dry dandruff, it is something different. Usually this type of dandruff is caused by stress or anxiety. If not remedied quickly, dandruff begins to proliferate. The longer we wait, the harder it will solve the problem. What is trying to avoid forming a crust.</p>
<p>To avoid this, it is best to act from the first appearance of dandruff. Avoid gels, lacquers and hair styling products, which serve only to make things worse. If not get rid of dandruff, despite using a special shampoo, then we must look to other remedies.</p>
<p>Ideally, consult a doctor or use Ketoderm, which can be found in pharmacies. This product acts like an atomic bomb on dandruff. After two or three applications, dandruff disappears.<span id="more-365"></span></p>
<p>After washing hair, apply the product only on the estate in its entirety. Then he has a series of massages and set aside. When it starts to bite, is that the remedy has worked.</p>
<p>Beware cry victory too soon, and stop applying Ketoderm. After two weeks, the dandruff is just a bad memory, and we can stop using this miracle product.</p>
<p>However, when you stop treatment too soon, dandruff reappears. It is therefore very important that we extend the use of rigorously and consistently Ketoderm.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="padding: 5px;" src="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2007/08/01/health/adam/17013.jpg" alt="Breakthrough Bleeding and Spotting" width="220" align="left" />Irregular <a href="http://www.capitalbrasileiradacultura2007.com/category/womens-health">vaginal bleeding</a> or spotting between periods and (losses minimum drip rate between two periods) are two of the most common side effects of hormonal  oral contraceptives, and not infrequently are an unnecessary cause for abandoning the method.</p>
<p>Breakthrough bleeding and spotting during the first cycles of microdose contraceptive use is a common event that is not cause for alarm.</p>
<p>It is because when using low-dose <a href="http://www.capitalbrasileiradacultura2007.com/category/womens-health">contraceptive steroids</a> to lessen the side effects and maximize safety, is not achieved complete control of the cycle.</p>
<p>In any case, these disorders are often disappear with use, over the cycles.</p>
<p>Moreover, the irregular use of birth control pills often result in poor cycle control, increasing the incidence of bleeding.<span id="more-324"></span></p>
<p>Also smokers experienced users between 20 and 90% more dribbling and breakthrough bleeding than nonsmokers.<br />
However, the weight or age have no influence on bleeding irregularities.</p>
<p>Anyway, if the bleeding is heavy or persistent must be carefully assessed to the user and found the existence of some gynecological pathology that could explain the bleeding, for which you must go to your gynecologist.</p>

For that reason provided below several recommendations and <a href="http://www.capitalbrasileiradacultura2007.com/">natural beauty secrets</a> to achieve and maintain beautiful hair.</p>
<p><strong>Recommendations when washing hair</strong></p>
<p>* Brush, before washing the hair several times, as this helps release dirt particles and gel residues, fasteners or other hair products.<br />
* Use little shampoo if you have short hair. Never exceeded.<br />

* Rinse thoroughly with water, the residues of shampoo can make hair dull.<span id="more-301"></span></p>
<p><strong>Beauty Secrets for after washing</strong></p>
<p>The wet hair needs extra care not to mistreat as the outer layer of the hair scales for the water swells and becomes very sensitive.</p>
<p>* Do not twist the strands to dry hair, just squeeze the towel and remove excess water<br />
* Do not comb wet hair with a comb of sharp points because it would open the strands of hair.<br />
* Do not comb wet hair with a toothbrush.<br />
* When the hair begins to unravel the ends and then progress upward. This avoids pulling hair and, therefore, abuse him.<br />
* Do not tie your hair when wet<br />
* No exposure to the sun with wet hair (it will make the heat and rays of sun burn more easily).</p>
<p>When using commercial shampoo and they are a little different brands, you should not mix but rather throw the garbage, because the results can be disastrous, especially if the surfactants are of different electric fields.</p>
<p><strong>Recommendations brushing and hair care</strong></p>
<p>* Do not use lacquer, a layer as it leaves the hair stiff, and inhaling its fumes can be harmful to the lungs.<br />
* Brush regularly with a natural bristle brush to remove dust and dirt and stimulating blood circulation<br />
* No headband or clips used too often as it can stretch the hair and promote its fall.<br />
* Cut the tips every 5 or 6 weeks and a little more frequent in summer.</p>
<p><strong>Recommendations for the hair if you go to a pool</strong></p>
<p>Protect from chlorine. Before entering the pool, wet your hair with water from the shower and put conditioner those that should not be removed. Try using a shower cap and just leave the water with fresh water shower to remove any traces of chlorine from the tips of her hair.</p>
<p>Put a little shampoo in the palm of your hand and add a tablespoon of white vinegar. Then they must scrub head and rinse well with water. The vinegar removes any remaining chlorine or mineral acids their hair.</p>
<p><strong>Recommendations for hair when going to the beach</strong></p>
<p>Sunscreen. Mix one part sunscreen (factor15 to 25) and two parts of conditioner. Put it on all hair, especially at the tips. If you can, use a hat for sun protection.</p>
<p>Stop brushing. The hair becomes very brittle at the beach. So stop brushing so that it only achieved with the tips burst and put more hedgehog. Use a coarse-toothed comb to comb his hair and try not to use the dryer.</p>
<p>Rinse immediately. Each time you finish the sea or pool, try to take a fresh water rinse and put a little conditioner on the ends.</p>
<p>Before going to bed. When I go to bed, put a generous amount of moisturizer to the body hair. Comb with a coarse tooth comb and go to bed. Next morning, wash your hair and comb as usual.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.capitalbrasileiradacultura2007.com">Vaginal Candidacies</a></strong> is the medical terminology for yeast infection that millions of women suffer from periodically. The signs of this condition can vary but is usually associated with itching, discharge of thick, swelling, pain, and sometimes, a burning type of sensation in or around the vaginal area.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="padding: 5px;" src="http://menopausesymptoms.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/menopause-symptoms.jpg" alt="Menopause Symptoms" width="200" height="250" align="left" />The mere mention of menopause can bring images of hot flashes or mood swings a lot of women. Most women, even men, believe that menopause is just that &#8211; the manifestation of various irritating symptoms. However, menopause is actually a process in which the ovaries begin to decrease the production of sex hormones estrogen and progesterone. And this difficult stage is when <strong><a href="http://www.capitalbrasileiradacultura2007.com/do-you-know-your-menstrual-cycle.htm">a woman&#8217;s monthly period finally ceases</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Although women in their 50 years are often those who experience menopause, while others are having episodes with menopausal hot flashes and other symptoms, even when only 40. This stage is commonly known as pre-menopause. When a woman is about 40 years, changes in their monthly periods are already evident.</p>
<p>There are also cases in which menopause is induced or experienced by younger women. This is usually due to surgical removal of the ovaries, cancer or ovarian failure.<span id="more-152"></span></p>
<p><strong>Common signs of menopause:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Vaginal and bladder problems</strong></p>
<p>Incontinence or the inability to hold urine and urinary tract infection appears to be common in women who are in their menopausal stage. In some women, incontinence can be severe, such that they have to use adult diapers to avoid embarrassing situations like pissing in your pants during the meetings.</p>
<p>Apart from urine related afflictions, menopausal women also experience itching, dryness, redness or burning sensation in the vagina. As a result, sexual activities can be extremely painful and enjoyably. Vaginal infections are also common during menopause.</p>
<p><strong>Hot Flashes</strong></p>
<p>The most infamous of menopausal symptoms is having a hot flash. This is usually characterized by sudden and unexpected bursts of heat from the center of the body that spread to the extremities. Flushing occurs at night during sleep are called night sweats.</p>
<p><strong>Altered menstrual cycles</strong></p>
<p>Since the number of eggs in their ovaries and is declining and sex hormone levels are declining, there will surely be changes in their monthly periods. You will notice that the <strong><a href="http://www.capitalbrasileiradacultura2007.com/menstruation-and-the-menstrual-cycle.htm">flow of menstrual blood</a></strong> is becoming either heavy or light. Many women still lack the experience monthly periods up to six months before having their periods other. As a result, many women find babies, even at that stage. Therefore, unless you are absolutely sure you&#8217;ve completed your menopause, it would be prudent for the use of contraceptives such as condoms to prevent unwanted pregnancies.</p>
<p><strong>Changing attitudes toward sex</strong></p>
<p>Due to vaginal dryness and irritation, women who are in menopause usually are not in the mood for sex. Others, however, be more active because they are not encumbered or worried about getting pregnant. Whatever your reaction to sex, it is important to remember that they may be prone to sexually transmitted diseases if you are not careful. Thus, the practice of safe sex all the time.</p>
<p><strong>Sleep Woes</strong></p>
<p>A number of women who complain are either not getting enough rest or sleep is very difficult to fall asleep during this phase. In fact, you may find yourself waking in the middle of the night because of profuse sweating caused by heat.</p>
<p><strong>Mood swings</strong></p>
<p>The scientists found that low levels of estrogen during menopause can cause mood swings in women. It seems that the sudden drop in estrogen can create havoc on the emotions of women. Therefore, depression and anxiety are common problems faced by menopausal women.</p>
<p>Hormone replacement therapy is one of the most popular treatments for menopause. However, many women who tried HRT experienced a lot of side effects. In fact, some studies are linking HRT with the development of serious diseases like cancer.</p>
<p>A safe alternative to relieve symptoms of menopause is the use of phytoestrogen supplements as Meners. Phytoestrogens is a plant substance that mimics the role of estrogen in the body.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://images.glam.com/glampress/family/know_cycle.JPG" alt="Know Your Menstrual Cycle" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It&#8217;s a good idea to use a calendar to keep track of periods. It marks the first day with an &#8220;X&#8221;. Will continue counting the number of days until you have the following bleeding. If this is done every month, you can determine how many days elapse between each period and thus know when to start the next cycle. If records are kept on the calendar and periods are regular, can be determined every month when the next <a href="http://www.capitalbrasileiradacultura2007.com/menstruation-and-the-menstrual-cycle.htm"><strong>menstrual cycle</strong></a> starts. If the periods are not regular, you may still notice some signs in advance of the bleeding.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The sensation of pain in lower back pain and <strong><a href="http://www.capitalbrasileiradacultura2007.com/tag/female-hormones-estrogen">menstrual cramps</a> </strong>vary from woman to woman can be mild or severe bouts or by continuous and sometimes sit in the back and thighs. In most cases, with advancing age aches usually less intense. For women who have severe pain or even disabling, it is recommended to go with your doctor so that they can indicate a treatment. Other measures that may help reduce pain are warm baths or applying heat in the lower abdomen. Exercise also appears to reduce these pains.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some women feel depressed or easily irritated during the days before the period. Others get angry or cry more quickly than usual. Others may have &#8220;craving&#8221; to eat certain foods. These mood swings are usually due to PMS. Premenstrual syndrome is associated with hormonal changes and may affect the way women feel both emotionally and physically.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-74"></span>Some women feel that swell and this is due to fluid retention, others notice their breasts swell, are tender and may even hurt. Others have a headache. These symptoms usually disappear after the beginning of the period, but is likely to come back month after month. Exercise helps these women to feel better. It also recommends limiting caffeine intake.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is common for women between 39 and 51 years begin to make less frequent periods.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Menopause occurs, on average, around 50 years old. Menopause is the last period in the life of a woman means a woman is no longer ovulating (producing eggs) and therefore can no longer become pregnant. Like menstruation, menopause varies from woman to woman, and may take several years to happen. Some women have early menopause because of surgery or other treatment, illness or other causes.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The<a href="http://www.capitalbrasileiradacultura2007.com/tag/menstruation"><strong> menstrual cycle</strong></a> involves a series of changes that passes through the body of the woman. These changes are governed by the <strong>female hormones estrogen</strong> and progesterone produced in the ovaries by the body. The <a href="http://www.capitalbrasileiradacultura2007.com/"><strong>menstrual cycle</strong></a> is repeated over many years, from puberty to menopause, except when interrupted if <a href="http://www.capitalbrasileiradacultura2007.com/tag/pregnant-women"><strong>pregnancy</strong></a> occurs.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the menstrual cycle can identify two phases: the follicular and luteal, both divided by the phenomenon of ovulation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The <strong>follicular phase</strong> begins on the <strong>first day of menstruation</strong> and ends at the time of ovulation. During this phase the pituitary gland begins to secrete a hormone that travels through the bloodstream to act on the ovaries, which favors the development and maturation of a follicle. This is called an ovarian follicle because the follicle develops, where the future egg.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The follicle grows and matures when ruptures and releases an egg. During this phase, changes occur inside the uterus to prepare it for nest egg if it is fertilized with sperm. The cervix secretes or produces large amounts of mucus to facilitate their arrival from the vagina to the fallopian tubes where it will meet the egg.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-71"></span>Ovulation is the release of eggs from the ovary. This takes at most 36 hours, during which it can be fertilized, otherwise, it disintegrates and is resorbed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ovulation</strong> begins the luteal phase in which the &#8220;scar&#8221; left on the ovary of the area where the egg is released into what is called the corpus luteum. The corpus luteum produces large amounts of progesterone that promotes the accumulation of nutrients for the fertilized egg has to nourish if fertilization is presented.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Progesterone also causes the mucus secreted by the cervix becomes thick, which prevents the entry of sperm into the uterus. The egg is picked up by the fimbriae of the fallopian tubes. If the egg is fertilized (now called egg), adheres or nest in the endometrium, the brain sends signals to continue producing the hormones necessary for pregnancy to take its course. If fertilization does not occur, the corpus luteum dies and to stop producing hormones, these levels drop sharply and approximately 10 days later, the tissues that accumulate inside the uterus is shed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is considered a menstrual cycle since the first day of bleeding (day 1) until the first day of bleeding of the next cycle. While the average is 28 days per cycle, is considered normal 21-day short course and long cycles of up to 35 days.</p>
