Communication between the nervous, endocrine, and im- mune systems make it possible for us to adapt and survive in our environment, and hormones are the messengers between these systems. Hormones are molecules that are released into the blood stream and exert biochemical effects on receptor sites to regulate our body’s temperature, reproduc- tion, growth, aging and immune functions. As messengers of the central nervous systems, hor- mones instruct our internal organs on how to function. Unfortunately, both men and women experi- ence a drop in these life-sustaining hormones as they age. HORMONAL DEFICIENCY SYMPTOMS INCLUDE: • Weight Gain • Loss of Muscle Mass • Degenerative Diseases (Diabetes, Cancer, Heart Disease, Osteoporosis) • A Compromised Immune System • Wrinkling and Thinning of the Skin • Depression and Stress • Cognitive Decline • Insulin Resistance • Loss of Sex Drive • Fatigue • Sleep Disorders Replenishment of hormones to optimal, physiological levels (not exceeding normal limits) has been shown to alleviate these age-related changes.

Ud exeraessisi. MetueraNulla commy nim alit TITLE 5 5 Self Examination tips from nationalbreastcancer.org How often should I self-exam?Once A MonthAdult women of all ages are encouraged to perform breast self-exams at least once a month. Johns HopkinsMedical center states,“Forty percent of diagnosed breast cancers are detected by women who feel a lump, so establishing a regularbreast self-exam is very important.”While mammograms can help you to detect cancer before you can feel a lump, breast self-exams help you to befamiliar with how your breasts look and feel so you can alert your healthcare professional if there are any chang-es. How should a self-exam be performed? 1) In the Shower Using the pads of your fingers, move around your entire breast in a circular pattern moving from the outside to the center, checking the entire breast and armpit area. Check both breasts each month feeling for any lump, thickening, or hardened knot. Notice any changes and get lumps evaluated by your healthcare provider. 2) In Front of a Mirror Visually inspect your breasts with your arms at your sides. Next, raise your arms high overhead. Look for any changes in the contour, any swelling, or dimpling of the skin, or changes in the nipples. Next, rest your palms on your hips and press firmly to flex your chest muscles. Left and right breasts will not exactly match—few women’s breasts do, so look for any dimpling, puckering, or changes, particularly on one side. 3) Lying DownWhen lying down, the breast tissue spreads out evenly along the chest wall. Place a pillow under your right shoul- der and your right arm behind your head. Using your left hand, move the pads of your fingers around your right breast gently in small circular motions covering the entire breast area and armpit. Use light, medium, and firm pressure. Squeeze the nipple; check for discharge and lumps. Repeat these steps for your left breast. sources: http://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/breast-self-exam Footer message
