When birth control pills became popular with women in the early 1960’s, a range of controversies started revolving around the long-run fallouts of hormonal birth control. Today, more than ever, it is important to consider the facts and health considerations involving the use of birth control pills in order to make an educated decision regarding the choice of birth control method.

Birth control through external means includes pills, injections, patches, implants placed permanently in tissue and contraceptive device such as a diaphragm or ring. Most birth control methods work in a similar fashion – forbidding the egg from undergoing maturation and evolving in the woman’s ovaries. In the natural cycle of a woman, hormonal levels start to fall thus activating various biological process. Women who ingest birth control pills containing estrogen and progesterone, have an varying hormone level and due to the fluctuation, ovulation is prevented.

One study published in a medical journal revealed the link between the usage of birth control pills to sexual disturbances and dysfunctioning. The connection to sexual disturbances ranged from diminished sexual desire, lack of feeling in mutual sexual fondling prior to sexual intercourse, a fall in lubrication levels and increased sex-related physical distress.

WAnti-aging skin care is a broad field based on reducing the visible effects of aging on the human body. In this introduction to the field, I cover the definition of anti-aging, the symptoms and the treatment of the skin in order to reduce the effects of ani-aging.
Anti-aging researchers are looking at the body’s systems to learn how the body ages. From this research, they are finding that it is possible to slow down the aging process through nutritional supplements, exercise, and hormone replacement therapies.

Aging of Skin

There are several factors responsible for the aging and damage of the human skin. The first is the error accumulation theory in which waste product electrons such as “free radicals”, that prevent the safe excretion of oxygen from the blood, accumulate during the biochemical processes in the body. This leads to tissue damage since normal repair mechanisms in the cell has lost its ability.

Other Causes

Stress: Maybe youve heard this expression: “Dont frown, your face could stay that way.” Stress and worry cause frowning, and over time the muscles in the face actually conform to that movement.
