Everybody knows that women and men have not the same health problems, and I will try to answer here few of the health questions that refer only to ladies. And what can we have so special to debate but skin care and beauty tips? The techniques presented further, are part of the “answer my health question” project and are based on natural products and traditional beauty  recipes.

They say “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”. Many beauty experts consider that apples are excellent ingredients for the healthy and good looks of your skin. They have been used in skin care for ages because of their rich AHA content as a balm or a tonic lotion. You can add two glasses of apple juice in your bath tub or you can make an apple an honey face mask that will enlighten your complexion and will make you look younger.



The cucumber miracle. Is your skin dehydrated? Do you have under eye shadows? Cucumber might be your salvation. It is consider a magic trick because it closes skin pores, diminishes under eye circles and cleans your whole complexion. It is the perfect treatment for the eye area, which is very sensitive. It eliminates acne and black spots and is suitable for fat or sensitive skin.

Olive oil is considered an ancient beauty secret, and, although it has been discovered many years ago, it is still one of the base ingredients for any beauty recipe. Olive oil preserves the taste, the color and the vitamins found in the fruit they come from. They have a high concentration of fatty acids and antioxidants, which is why he is ideal for dry skin which is more likely to wrinkle. The Egyptians and Cleopatra herself used olive oil for preventing the appearance of aging. It can be used either alone or in a combination with other products, like honey for example.

Yogurt is one of the most important nutrients for the human body. It has also been demonstrated that it can be successfully used for skin care. Applied directly on the skin, it cleanses and hydrates it, and is usually used together with other natural products, mixed in a face mask.



Blueberries are also helpful at keeping you young. They are rich in vitamins, especially vitamin C, antioxidants and natural fibers. It can be used as blueberry juice (for the color of your hair) or as blueberry oil, directly applied on skin to reduce wrinkles.

Grapefruit is an important source of vitamin A, B, C, potassium, folic acid, calcium and iron. It exfoliates skin, and it can be used as grapefruit oil, poured in the bath tub or as a tonic lotion in combination with rose water and almond oil.

Just like the car insurance, the health insurance is a method of covering the risk of you having an “accident” and not having at the time money to pay for the “damage”, in this case money to pay for the medication, the doctor bills and the procedures that need to be done. This is a way of putting aside a little money from your monthly wages so that you can ask them back later when you are ill. This method of payment first appeared in the 19^th century and was used in case of accident (disability) and is still used nowadays.


This is the basic method of keeping the hospitals opened and pay for the doctors, the nurses and the equipment there, waiting for you in case anything goes wrong. If  it wasn’t for the health insurance you would have to get money out of your pocket every time you have a routine check-up. It is frustrating to pay every month, and this thought mainly occurs to you when you are young and healthy but there comes a time when you visit the doctor more often and you are too old to work anymore so you don’t have as much money as you did a few years ago, so that’s the deal.



In some countries health insurance is managed by the government which collects all the money and then shares them between the different organizations related to the health area. The health tax  represents a percentage of each citizen’s monthly wage, so everybody has a contribution related to their personal income, although this is somehow a little unfair because some pay more and benefit exactly from the same services as everybody else.

You can get a private health insurance , either played from your own pocket or received from your employers as a benefit along with the company car, mobile phone and so on. This can get you in a private hospital, where you are better taken care of and where you don’t have to wait that much for your appointment. These private health insurances can be made long term, or short term (for a few months or even days)



Another well known form of health insurance is the international health insurance, used when you’re traveling abroad. You should have this done every time you leave the country, either you are on a business trip or in holiday because in many states you will be not eligible for treatment in a hospital if you don’t have it, not to mention the fact that the treatment is extremely expensive otherwise. However, this might not be enough for you to get the medical care you need. For example if you intend to go on a skiing trip I suggest you have an extreme sport insurance, it is more expensive but it guarantees that you will be treated anywhere if you fall and break your leg.

Men have a special body, different from women' s body. From their twenties they have to learn to discipline themselves, to eat and exercise properly. This will enable men to establish a healthy body.

Eating pork and beef from time to time is good. A recent study showed that meat lowers high blood pressure. Also, one should consider eating more fish and consuming more fruits and vegetables. Men need to understand how important is to reduce alcohol. Replacing coffee with tea is a good option. Reducing the intake of cola is also a wise option according to World Health Organization which studied its effects. Results prove that drinking too much cola can affect the quality of sperm, and who knows what other aspects. This behavior presents many benefits, helping them to enjoy daily life, in a special way: being mentally and physically strong and healthy.

Men need to pay more attention to their health. They should not wait for their wife, friend or mother to be concerned with their symptoms. All the above indications are there due to the fact that men do smoke and drink more than most women. Being civilized involves also more attention being paid to our body. Successful business persons are considered to be those who do not take themselves too seriously, that are amusing and have also time to work and have fun with their family.

Appearance is very important in our society. Powerful cars prove to add more sensuality to their owners. Although, nothing compares to a great mind in a great body. Men tend to refer to themselves in accordance with their jobs, with their material acquisitions and this adds more and more stress. As I have said, long term discipline helps people to acquire more even though it might be at a slower pace at the beginning.

The good bacteria are especially lactobacilli and are very similar to those contained by yoghurt and help to maintain the environment at an acidic ph around the interval 3,8 to 4,5 . The main substance of the mucus of the vagina has a similar contents as it has the blood serum so it is clear, sticky liquid and really thin and it has a high content in water, some white blood cells, the mucin or oily substances that is responsible for the slippery sheen and the albumin a very frequent protein that is all over our body
