Why Do Women Heroes Kick Butt?

Sci-Fi Legend Reveals Why Women

Are Taking Over Movies, Science Fiction and Fantasy!

Topic Summary

It used to be that only guys went to action movies or read science fiction. It used to be that comics and video games were the sole territory of guys who couldn’t get dates. It used to be that only men could be action heroes.

Well, tell that to Angelina Jolie, Cameron Diaz, Sigourney Weaver, Zoe Saldana, Katherine Heigle, Megan Fox, and, well, just about any actress working in movies today. They might disagree, because they are all starring as strong, heroic characters in movies that are out this summer, including “Killers”, “Salt”, “Knight and Day”, “Jonah Hex”, “The Losers” and more.

Is Your Family ‘Sick’ Of the Rough Economic Times?

America’s Money Doctor Gives Family-Friendly Financial Planning Tips

Topic Summary

If the economic mess was a disobedient child, at least one expert would recommend a spoonful of castor oil and a good old-fashioned whack on the behind to set him straight.

“We need to get back to basic common sense,” said Louis Scatigna, Certified Financial Planner and national radio talk show host known as “The Financial Physician.” “The economy is a mess, and there are two sides of the cause. Yes, the big banks and investment houses were lending money through high-risk products without an ounce of sense to the outcome. However, for them to be knee-deep in bad investments, they had to be selling them to someone. All those high-risk mortgage loans belong to people who were buying more house than they could afford and they knew it. All those people with high credit card debt weren’t having their arm twisted by the credit card companies. They were simply given the chance to live beyond their means and now they are paying for it.”

Scatigna, author of The Financial Physician: How to Cure Your Money Problems and Boost Your Financial Health (www.thefinancialphysician.com), recommends a back-to-basics approach for consumers to get through the rough patches on the road to recovery.

“To a certain extent, recovery is irrelevant,” he added. “A lot of these troubles would correct themselves if the average American just buckled down a bit more, and exercised some restraint and common sense.” Read more →

Over 60 Percent of All Women Suffer From Pain During Love Making

Expert Reveals Natural Treatments Can Be More Effective Than Traditional Medicine

Topic Summary

It’s the silent plague that robs women of their self-confidence, casts a pall over romantic relationships, and even ends marriages. Yet few women talk about it, and even fewer seek help.

According to the Journal of Family Practice, three out of every five women reported pain during love making. The American Family Physician published a study that charted 60 percent of women reporting the same at some point in their lives. Yet, despite the astronomical numbers, few women seek help for the condition.

This condition, known by physicians as dyspareunia, has haunted women for decades. Medical treatment such as desensitizing cream and pain killers attempt to make marital relations more bearable.

“The problem is that these ‘remedies’ simply mask the symptoms; they do not return normal function,” said physical therapist Belinda Wurn, research director of Clear Passage Physical Therapy (www.clearpassage.com) and an expert in this area. “However, there are some natural therapies that can actually address the cause of the pain, and restore a woman’s sense of confidence and maybe even save their marriages.” Read more →

Overworked & Stressed Out?

Top Cardiologist Gives Tips On How To Stay Healthy Under These Conditions

Topic Summary

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 7 million Americans work at least two jobs, and that number is growing every month. That means millions of people work way beyond the traditional 8-hour workday.

That could be very dangerous, say doctors who performed an 11-year study of British civil servants. Their study reveals a direct link between heart disease and working 11 hours or more each day.

That’s why Dr. Bryan C. Donohue, M.D., F.A.C.C., Chief, Division of Cardiology, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center/Shadyside Hospital thinks Americans could use a helping hand in keeping their hearts healthy.

“In reality, it’s more like there are people who are sick, and the rest are going to be sick at some point,” said Dr. Donohue. “The fact is, there is a vast segment of the population who aren’t necessarily sick, but they aren’t necessarily healthy, either. They just don’t feel well. They suffer from non-specific symptoms like headaches, chronic low level pain, fatigue and lack of energy and mental sharpness. They don’t bother seeing the doctor because they can’t take the time off from one of their two to three jobs, or they can’t afford the fees. So they allow the symptoms to persist. They could use a few tips on how to keep their hearts healthy.” Read more →
