As we age, our bodies start to work differently and changes are evident. The process is gradual, but in many cases we don’t know what is going on so we misread some symptoms as signs of a disease, when actually everything is happening naturally.

In this article we have a list of 10 things women should be aware about after they turn 50.

1.Alcohol

Your body reacts differently to alcohol with the process of aging. There are advantages as well as disadvantages when it comes to alcohol consumption. For instance, drinking a glass of wine a day can be really useful to your health: it decreases the risk of diabetes, normalizes blood pressure and prevents heart diseases.

However, if you are postmenopausal and you consume too much alcohol you will increase the risk of getting cancer and having gum diseases. Too much alcohol can also cause problems with your sight.

 2.The condition of your skin

Due to the lack of estrogen in your body, your skin changes: it becomes unattractive and thin. Luckily,  there are many ways to slow the process of aging and tighten the skin on your face. So don’t get too upset.

3.Bad memory

Forgetting things on a daily basis such as going in a room and wondering why you have gone there in the first place, shouldn’t worry you. This happens because as we age our short-term memory doesn’t function as it used to in the past when we were younger. It is a natural thing, so this shouldn’t scare you.

4.Hair

When we talk about hair in this part we talk about unwanted hairs that will appear on your chin .There is a solution to this too: just visit your cosmetologist or remove them by yourself by using tweezers.

 5.Loss of hearing

Like every other function of your body, your hearing will worsen too. Quiet surroundings will work good for you since in this way you will be able to hear what the other person next to you is saying. However, good hearing can be preserved in many ways, one of them is consuming wine in moderate quantities.

6.Poor eyesight

Poor eyesight is a problem of many people, not just older people. With age our sight gets worse and there’s nothing to do except for using glasses in some fancy frame and relax

7.Changes in your sex life

Due to the lack of estrogen in your body, you will also experience changes in your sex life. For some women it became worse while for some it became better- due to the increased levels of testosterone in the body. There will be changes for sure, but it depends.

8.Weight

In the period of menopause a lot of women gain weight. After they turn 50 it is much more difficult to lose all those extra pounds. At the same time it gets easier to gain weight even more. Healthy diet and regular physical activity will keep your body healthy and slim.

9. Another outlook on life

When we are young we think differently and tend to complain about things that are not so important. When we get older we appreciate things more and stop paying attention to trivial things.

10.Children

Problems with children are gone. If your teenager used to hate you, now those problems are far behind you. As you get older your children are adult enough to appreciate and show their affection more than they used

Getting some sleep after an exhausting day is the best reward we can get. Mattresses are also a very important element for our quality of sleep. Their cleanliness is also essential. However, our place for sleeping can be invaded by millions of mites that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Dirty sheets combined with warmth is the ideal environment for their reproduction. They ca live up to 6 weeks and reproduce at the speed of the light.

Even dead, mites  maintain their harmful power. Their remains and feces cause allergies when they are inhaled.

The only way to declare war is a deep cleaning and other tricks that we will tell you later.

Mites love soft, warm sheets. They feed on microparticles of skin, nails, and hair that we lose every day and every night and that is why the bed is like paradise for them.

A mattress can contain up to 2 million mites!

But in addition to beds, mites like chairs, armchairs, soft furniture as well as stuffed animal toys and carpets. Everything that constitutes a nest of dust, becomes the perfect home.

Symptoms

If mite allergens are found in a certain amount, they can be removed and come in contact with the skin and eyes.

They can cause nose irritation, throat irritation known as rhinitis or conjunctivitis. People who are predisposed to allergies can have the biggest risk: when in contact with mites they can develop asthma, wheezing, dry cough or even choking.

Let’s see some of these symptoms:

– Transparent nasal drip.

– Repeated sneezing.

– Nasal obstruction.

– Itchy nose or palate.

– Loss of smell

– Allergic conjunctivitis.

This set of symptoms is particularly destabilizing and disturbs the quality of life of affected people with psychological, social and professional repercussions.

– Sleep disorders (sleep difficulties, snoring).

– Fatigue

– Drowsiness.

– Irritability and mood swings.

– Concentration disorders in the school and professional environment.

– Headaches.

– Sneezing, skin irritations, paleness, eczema.

How to fight mites?

Sodium bicarbonate is an ideal ally against mites for the following reasons.

– It’s tremendously effective! Laboratory studies have shown since 2001 that bicarbonate has already been used in powder or powder with water and has a proven efficacy against mites. Only 20 g of baking soda per square meter of the surface is enough to destroy the mites in less than two hours.

How to use bicarbonate to eliminate mites?

– For carpets and mattresses: Spray the baking powder evenly on the surfaces. The dose should be 20 g per square meter, that is, a little more than one tablespoon or four teaspoons of coffee.

–For a single bed, you will need around 35 g and for a double bed, 55 g.

Brush lightly to distribute the bicarbonate and make it penetrate the fibers of the fabrics. Leave on for at least 2 hours and, if possible, between 4 and 8. Aspirate and place the protective cover and sheets again on the mattress. The finer the bicarbonate, the better the efficiency. It acquires a baking of good quality, especially when it comes to cleaning bedding.

– For washing clothes: The bicarbonate is also very effective against mites when diluted in water. The best thing in these cases is to prepare what is called a saturated bicarbonate solution that consists of adding the powder to the warm water until it manages not to dissolve completely. Then, spray on the surface to be treated.

– In the vacuum cleaner: The collection bag of the vacuum cleaner is a mite’s paradise! Once the dust, the remains of the skin, the hair and the hair of the animals have been vacuumed, the mites continue to reproduce at high speed. The fact of vacuuming the bicarbonate with the treatment done in carpets or mattresses, will neutralize the activity inside the vacuum cleaner. That is to say, the bicarbonate aspirated can also be a remedy to eliminate the mites that remain in the bag of the vacuum cleaner.

Tips to combat mites and prevent them from reproducing.

1. Be sure to keep your room clean
2. Ventilate the rooms every day for at least 15 minutes
3. Fogged windows and glass are a proof of high humidity: try to keep the humidity of the rooms normal, limit the heating between 18º and 20º
4. Vacuum the mattress, the backs of the beds, under the beds, on the furniture covered with fabrics or upholstery and the cabinets.
5. Cover the mattress and pillows with a zippered cover.
6. Periodically wash the sheets, blankets, and bedspreads with hot water at 60º. Once a month, wash pillows and pillows and then dry them in the dryer.

Food, food, food, is the essence of our existence. It is the fuel that gives us energy throughout the day and it’s very important to consume food that has the nutrients we really need. The food we eat, directly influences our health. So next time you go to the supermarket, be careful what you choose.

Unfortunately , a lot of people develop bad eating habits. So it’s very important to know what to do or not do before or after having a meal. Some of the bad eating habits can result in various aches or diseases.

These are some of the eating habits you should certainly avoid.  It is very obvious that no one can eliminate a habit overnight, but try to be consistent and you can achieve your goal.

5 bad habits that you should avoid doing after eating

Smoking

If you are surrounded by smokers, or you are a smoker yourself, you must know that smoking is a very common thing after eating.

The body uses a lot of oxygen for digesting the food. When you smoke, nicotine binds to the oxygen necessary for the digestion. As a result, there are greater chances of developing carcinogenic diseases.

Consuming fruits

The digestion of fruits is not the same as that of other foods. The body uses special enzymes to digest fruits and take advantage of their nutrients. That’s why nutritionists and doctors recommend  eating fruits on an empty stomach, in order to take the best advantages of their nutrients such as fiber and sugars.

The natural sugar present in fruits means that more time is needed to process them.

However, if we consume them after eating, we can suffer serious consequences like heartburn, indigestion, and belching.

Sleeping

According to research, if you go to bed right after eating you may suffer swelling, discomfort, swelling or other sleep problems. The Faculty of Medicine of the University of Ioannina conducted a study about this. The results showed that those who stayed for a while before going to bed after eating had less risk of suffering strokes. Ideally,  don’t go to bed at least 1 hour  after eating.

Taking a bath

While we are having  a bath, our bodies get we and the temperature of the body changes abruptly.

In order to balance the temperature, the body changes the direction of blood flow to reach the skin. As a result, we have less blood to help the body digest food. This slows down the digestion process or the process is unfinished.

Drinking tea

Many cultures have the habit of drinking tea after eating. However, this habit can cause some serious damage to our bodies.

One of the main compounds in tea is tannic acid. This binds with the iron in the body and the one that provides the food. As a result, the process of digestion becomes very difficult. It can be very harmful  especially to people who suffer from anemia.

If you have some of these eating habits, try to avoid them until you‘ve completely eliminated them. They aren’t doing you any good.

According to statistics, strokes are the third cause of death in the West. Moreover, strokes can lead to severe disabilities in adults. When a person is getting a stroke we need to act quickly.

Stroke occurs when the blood flow to the brain is interrupted so an area in the brain stops to receive nutrients and most importantly, oxygen. That’s when the activity of this area is disrupted and it starts dying slowly. There are two types of strokes : ischemic and hemorrhagic.

You all know that sometimes the emergency can take a long time, so you can save a person and prevent them from dying by doing the following thing.

You will need a syringe with sterilized needle:

1.If you are using a common sewing needle, make sure you burn it for sterilization.

2.Click with the top of the 10 fingers. A particular acupuncture technique is not necessary, only a few millimeters of the needle.

3.Blood flows through the small holes. If it doesn’t flow, don’t pinch any more. Press, squeeze around and cause blood to flow out

4.You will alter the patient’s blood pressure by causing the ten fingers to bleed. The brain receives the normal flow and the person will be able to come back to it.

You probably notice that the patient can not speak, gesticulate or have his mouth distorted. In that case, you must unzip the head:

-Massage your ears until they turn completely red
-Pin the massaged lobes with the needle and allow two drops of blood to fall from each ear
-Decompression will help your face get back to normal

If you notice that the victim is normal, without unusual symptoms and the emergency service does not arrive. Charge it and go to the nearest hospital. This quick action will also allow you to save a person with a stroke and prevent sequelae.

We hope this advice will be helpful for someone.

The number of lines can indicate how long you will live.
If you have one line it is believed that you will have a shorter life or you will live no more than 28 years.
Two lines means 56 years at most, while three lines means 84 years.
Some people have even a fourth line which means a life longer than 84, but these are very rare.

Bracelet Line #1
The first wrist line is believed to be the most important one since it can signifies health problems in both men and women.
Take a look at your line: if it’s unbroken and clearly defined you can expect a healthy life.
If a woman has a broken line or curved line upward the palm she may have reproductive issues.

Bracelet Line #2

Bracelet Line #3
The third bracelet line relates to fame and power. A straight, strong and unbroken line means that you are likely to become an influential person of power. This might mean that you will be a leader or a famous person.

Bracelet Line #4 (RARE)
