Wide Waists Trim Lifespan For Women

Ever since the mid-1970s when Harvard initiated what is now known as “The Nurses Study” we’ve been told that white women with waists over 40 inches, raised their risk of early death by 40% vs. their slimmer sisters who maintained waists in the 26 to 27 inch measure. However, significant new data just published in the New England Journal of Medicine (Sept. lead by Dr…

Predicting How Long A Female Will Remain Fertile Becoming More Accurate

A test may soon be able to accurately foretell how long a woman will be fertile before her menopause arrives, researchers from Scotland reported. A survey, performed by scientists from the Universities of St. Andrews, Edinburgh and Glasgow has determined what the normal range of AMH (anti-Mullerian Hormone) levels are – this hormone reflects how active the ovaries are across a woman’s lifespan…
