Affordable costume jewelry in the fruity theme can be found
online at several different stores including us at Estate
Jewelry International. The fruity jewelry dating from the 1950s
is a wonderful new addition for this season

This season is a season of nostalgia because the last time we
saw fruity patterns so popular was back in the 1950s. Fruity in
moderation is the key to wearing these prints. Here’s a good
rule of thumb - if it looks good on a 5 or 6 year old then it’s
not for a grown women. If your in your 20s-30s you can choose
one item that is a big and bold fruit to make your outfit
standout. Don’t get carried away. One will make a statement. If
your in your 40s fruity sweetness can quickly sour. Avoid big
and bold, rather opting for mini fruit motifs. Small delicate
non overpowering fruit is the key here If your 50+ then no more
than a hint of fruit is for you. How about a cherry tote bag or
a pineapple brooch pinned to your blouse, or some strawberries
on your flip flops. Remember light is much tastier!

This season has a wonderful mix of cuts and styles, from tunics
to fitted blouses, to convertible halter dresses. There are
choices for all ages, shapes, and sizes. You’ll find fruity
prints from head to toe, so enjoy and wear what feels right and
looks good. Remember to you can always accessorize with fruity
jewelry, belts, and shoes. Make your fashion statement!

Proper Food Helps Against Menopause Symptoms

Posted by admin - April 11th, 2008

When women experience symptoms, they can ask their physician about hormone treatment. However, hormone treatment can cause more problems than solve them. A woman can however reduce the symptoms of menopause by simply adjusting one’s diet and taking certain minerals and vitamins. Here are some of the food and vitamins and minerals that could help.

For women entering menopause, they should learn how to control or limit eating saturated fats. This is because fats such as those found in commercial beef, chicken, and pork can decrease the ability of the body to produce estrogen. Women who are entering menopause also possess greater risk of heart attack.

Not all fats are bad. There are fats that are needed for good health because it is the building blocks of fats called the fatty acids. The production of hormones also relies in two fatty acids namely omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. These two fatty acids are not capable to be produced by the body.

Fish oil has lots of omega 3 acids that can help a woman suffering from the symptoms of menopause. It has been known to reduce depression, reduce risk of breast cancer and reduce cholesterol.

One source that has great amounts of omega 3 and 6 acids is the flaxseed oils. It can be taken either by tablespoon or capsules. The oils can also be used as substitute on salad dressings or even mixed with yogurt.

It is also important to limit one’s intake of carbohydrates. It does not only control your weight and also helps relive depression and mood swings. Instead of eating something sweet or fatty when you are depressed, try to control that urge.

Depression and mood swings as found out by clinical research is commonly associated with low blood sugar. Sugar is the source of energy of our body, so when the blood sugars drop, the brain becomes more agitated. This makes us the people crave more sweets like cookies, cakes and ice creams.

However, the amount of sugar our body really needs is really minimal. When the blood sugar becomes more than the body needs, the pancreas will produce more insulin that turns blood sugar to body fat. When the blood sugar rapidly increases insulin production will surge and the blood storage will turn quickly into fat. This will then lead to a person dropping energy levels.

Watch the type of carbohydrate you eat.

Try to balance your diet and the symptoms of menopause you feel will greatly be reduced. Aside from greatly reducing symptoms of menopause, you’ll also be living a healthier lifestyle.
