Eating Less Extends Fertility

Eating less and more healthily may be just the ticket for women to add years to their fertile lives - as well as boosting their sex drive and sexual satisfaction, which are part and parcel of fertility.

This is true if a study done recently with mice can be extrapolated to humans. In the research, performed by a team led by Kaisa Selesniemi of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, adult female mice were fed less, and it was found that the aging process in their ovaries was slowed. This led to an extension of their fertility by a considerable number of months, which would translate into many years for women. (Read more about Eating Less Extends Fertility)

In Vitro Fertilization Improves

Clinical results from Down Under suggest that recent advances in in-vitro fertilization (IVF) can double the chances of having a baby for women in their early 40s. And the success rate for this group is increasing faster than any other's.

The successes resulted from improved media for culturing embryos and a better technique for selecting those with the best chances for developing in a healthy manner, said Peter Illingworth, president of the Fertility Society of Australia. The new procedure involved transferring embryos into recipient women at the blastocyst stage (five or six days after fertilization), rather than at the cleavage stage (two to three days after). This allowed doctors to better assess which embryos had the best survival chances. (Read more about In Vitro Fertilization Improves)

Can high levels of stress increase the risk of having painful periods? New research by Chicago researchers says it can.
Jessica Lindstrom is 27 years old, and although she’s totally healthy, sometimes her body turns on her at the time of the month. Her periods are agonizing. “I have intense lower back pain, nausea, and stomach irritation. There’s also pain when tightening the lower abdomen,” says Jessica. (Read more about PAINFUL PERIODS)

HOT FLASHES TREATMENT

Hot flashes are an unpleasant part of menopause that affects nearly all women in the US. Now new research shows a simple and natural way to reduce the frequency of hot flashes. With all the news and studies concerning estrogen and how it is a danger, many women are staying away from using supplemental hormones for controlling symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes. And more and more women are trying dietary methods, such as increasing intake of soy, to treat hot flashes. This is thought to be a significant health benefit of soy in one’s diet.
