What is the thyroid for? This small gland located at the base of the neck is the queen of our emotions! It also regulates body temperature, weight or heart rate. We worry... If we notice persistent fatigue, palpitations, sudden weight gain or if we are irritable... for no reason. Who does it conce

On the side If it is the left, it is a sign that we have a preoccupied mind, that we are in a context of change or questioning. If it is the right, it marks a strong temperament... and can reveal a possessive or authoritarian character. Hands up A posture (quite rare) which translates a need for

For a flat stomach Departure. Lying on your back, legs bent, feet on the ground, hip-width apart. The hands, each holding a dumbbell, are placed crosswise on the chest and do not move throughout the exercise. Movement. As you exhale, wrap your head and upper back. By inhaling, we go down again, w

Researchers had noticed for a long time now that women seemed to suffer from more severe allergies than their male counterparts. But the question of why persisted without finding an answer. Blame it on estrogen! It seems that we have finally found the culprits of this inequality:estrogens, these n

Why consume a detox drink? The detox drink comes from plants with different virtues. Detoxifying, draining or laxative, detox drinks come in many recipes. However, the objective remains the same:to purify the body by eliminating toxins and waste present, for example, in the liver, kidneys or skin.

An hour (or even two) in advance. We stay in bed for about fifteen minutes to yawn and stretch. Then we get up and start our day well:pampering ourselves in the bathroom, having a good breakfast, reading a book, listening to music, working out or jogging... Three or four hours before. We get up to

Whats this ? About the size of a lentil, canker sores are small whitish-looking ulcerations that disappear naturally in about ten days. Nothing serious, except that it hurts like hell when you chew, especially the first 5 days. Why do I have it? Surprising, but we do not know the causes of these lo

Whats the point ? To treat various small ailments:echinacea extract stimulates the immune defences, artichoke extract helps digestion, St. Johns wort to fight against stress... There are more than thirty fresh plant extracts on the market . Whats in it? It is a juice prepared with the entire fresh

Until the 8th month... If the pregnancy goes off without a hitch, nothing prevents you from playing the girls of the air! It is even one of the safest means of transport for a pregnant woman. If you opt for Ryanair, Iberia or Easyjet, from the 7th month, you must present a recent letter from the doc

The IUD, when you havent had a child, is it possible? Yes of course. The IUD for nulliparous is quite possible. Only mini difficulty:the installation of an IUD in a childless woman will be more delicate. The cervix has never dilated and will be less accessible, especially if it is small and tightly

I am vigilant if… I have allergies myself, or a family member does. But food allergies can also affect babies without a genetic predisposition. They generally appear before the age of 4, when the digestive and immune systems are not mature. Symptoms:colic, vomiting, diarrhea. Foods that can cause p

To furnish with healthy and sustainable materials, we will always prefer vintage or second-hand furniture, (and we think about giving away or recycling those that we dont use.) For wood We choose furniture in raw and local solid wood, such as oak, chestnut, cherry or walnut. Why ? Quite simply be

The first gestures. We make an appointment with the dentist right away. Toothache is a symptom of inflammation due to a cavity, pulpitis or abscess, most of the time. Either way, you need to get treatment. Then, we think about brushing our teeth thoroughly after (and between!) meals to dislodge the

Are there good times to quit smoking? Yes, says a small study from the University of Montreal...and this period, for women, is the one just before (and during) menstruation. When we say small study, it means that the researchers have so far only screened a small panel of 34 smokers (19 women and 15

This is not a topic that is easily discussed. For various reasons, it is still taboo. Becoming a donor can change your life. That of others. Those to whom we will donate an organ after our death. This civic act saves thousands of lives every year. Do we want to say yes to organ donation and allow tr

Four million people die each year from cardiovascular disease in Europe. On the continent, this figure represents 42% of deaths among the female population, nearly one woman in two who dies. Figures that make it the leading cause of death in the world. The most common form of heart disease is corona

What is it due to? Cause #1:poor blood circulation. But stress can also promote a drop in temperature in the small vessels of the toes. Ditto if you smoke or if you do not do enough sport. Bad plan? Tight socks and shoes, like knee-highs that make marks. Anti-cold stuff. Hop, to the Scottish shower

I may be missing it. If you are tired (you may also have slept badly or lack iron), have body aches, muscle pain (perhaps due to intense effort) or cramps (also related to dehydration), the eyelid jumping, bloating, abdominal pain or palpitations. Or if you wake up at night (but maybe its due to the

We will never stop saying it:a good nights sleep is essential! And it would seem that to have quality sleep, you must avoid drinking alcohol at all costs before joining the arms of Morpheus. Alcohol before sleep =poor quality sleep And if a delicious Mojito or a glass of wine helps us fall asleep,

The gynecologist. The consultation is once a year, from the age of 25. For the pill but especially for the cervical cancer screening smear and from the age of 40 for mammography, to prevent breast cancer. The dentist. You should not overlook the annual control and scaling, especially if you are a s
