When it comes to giving up smoking, pick the start date carefully

In fact, giving up smoking is far from the only thing affected by the menstrual cycle — the ebb and flow of hormones have a powerful impact on nearly all aspects of your life. So, make the time of the month work for you.

The best time to give up drink and drugs Scientists have discovered powerful links between cravings and hormones. Recently, researchers at the University of Minnesota found that women who gave up smoking in the follicular part of their cycle (from the start of their period until ovulation on about day 14) were half as likely to remain smoke-free as those who gave up in the luteal phase (after ovulation, but before the start of the next period). Only two in 10 of the women who gave up in the earlier phase managed to abstain; however, in the second group, four in 10 were successful. Why? It seems the high levels of progesterone found in the luteal phase can help to move nicotine out of the system more quickly, thus reducing withdrawal symptoms. Studies also show women are more easily tempted to smoke by seeing other people smoking when oestrogen levels are high, as in the follicular phase.

Five Easy Steps to Melt Down Cellulite

It is not really surprising why women put particular care and attention on their legs. Well, one of the many favorite pastimes of women is to watch men ogle and drool over their wonderfully sleek and dazzling legs. Why do you think mini skirts, short dresses, and short pants never go out of fashion?

However, a major problem that many women over 20 years old may experience, regardless of body size and shape, is cellulite. If there is one thing that can ruin beautiful and sexy legs, it is the lumpy and dimply appearance of fat deposits underneath the skin. And aside from thighs and legs, cottage-cheese looking skin is also common in the arms, hips and abdomen.

Remembering your last meal can ward off hunger for junk food and snacks

If you’re feeling hunger pangs but want to lose weight, try thinking yourself thinner.

British scientists have shown that actively remembering your last meal suppresses appetite and reduces the desire to snack on junk food.

They have also shown that concentrating on food while eating - rather than grabbing a meal in front of the TV - makes you less likely to get hungry later on.

The findings suggest that weight watchers can teach themselves to be less greedy - and that techniques such as hypnotism and behavioural therapy could help.
