Study: Heat Waves May Accelerate Aging as Much as Smoking or Drinking Alcohol.
The planet is heating up faster than ever before. Each summer seems hotter than the last, and deadly heat waves are becoming increasingly common across continents. Beyond the immediate discomfort and health risks, scientists are now uncovering deeper, long-term consequences of this environmental shift. According to a new study, continuous exposure to heat waves may accelerate biological aging — effectively making the body older at the cellular level — to a degree comparable to the effects of smoking or alcohol consumption.

I Thought I Knew Self-Care — I Was Wrong
When I was feeling low, I used to believe that self-care consisted solely of spa days, face masks, and indulging in something sweet. It was a decade ago. I once thought that caring for oneself was a band-aid solution, something you did only when you were exhausted, rather than something you did every day.

Hormones, of all kinds and all jobs in the body, are designed to fluctuate as part of running metabolism, the circadian rhythm and so much more. These ebbs and flows allow for various organ systems to do their jobs! Balancing hormones in a way that would cause stagnation or steady levels might actually prevent typical functions - this is how oral contraceptives work, by supplying the body with a steady level of estrogen and progesterone to prevent ovulation from occurring.
