Coffee Helps Women Thrive Under Stress

When you’re working on a high-stakes project, should you make a Starbucks run? Depends on your gender!

In a study simulating the workplace, caffeinated women were more confident in their performance when they were stressed. And for good reason—they performed better on collaborative tasks than men did.

Coffee affected men’s confidence, but for the worse! Caffeine impaired men’s performance on stressful work tasks.

In addition to these brain-boosting benefits, other studies suggest coffee can make you younger, improving memory and reducing your risk of postmenopausal breast cancer and stroke.

Day-to-day, stress isn’t pretty. It can lead to breakouts and cranky moods. So drink a (filtered) cup of Joe to get through that meeting, but if you’re stressed on a daily basis, make time to unwind with yoga or a quiet moment alone.

His and Her Health Differences

His and Her Health Differences


In case you didn't already know, men and women are different! So different, in fact, that we have surprisingly dissimilar experiences of some of the same common physical and psychological conditions. A healthy body and mind lay the groundwork for great sex, so it's important to understand the differences between the two of you.

Heart disease: The number-one killer for men and women alike, heart disease is likely to affect women an average of ten years later than men. Symptoms of a heart attack are far subtler in a woman, often including dizziness, anxiety, and nausea, and women are more likely to suffer second heart attacks within a year of their first.

Autoimmune diseases: Women account for 75 percent of sufferers of autoimmune diseases, such as lupus, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Common medications: A woman's lower body weight and higher percentage of body fat affects her reaction to commonly prescribed drugs. Oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy can further change the way these drugs affect us.

Smoking, alcohol, and drugs: Once again, less is more. Women are more susceptible to the negative effects of smoking, drug use, and alcohol abuse. Women experience stronger withdrawal symptoms and a higher risk of related diseases.

Depression: Women are affected two to three times more often than men and are more likely to complain of physical symptoms in addition to their emotional symptoms. Sleep disturbances, changes in appetite, and even pain can commonly occur.

5 Metabolism Busters over 40

I saw this on Dr. Oz show a couple weeks back and thought it was interesting to share with you. 

1. Konjac Root Fiber
2. Raspberry Keytones (burns fat)
3. L-Carnitine (energy, utilizes fat, not stored) recommended 500 MG twice a day, take with Vitamin C.  Enhances body to produce L-Carnitine naturally.
4. Less exercise (2-3 x/week for 30 minutes)
5. White Kidney Bean Extract (stops carbs so they can't be broken down into sugars) Which stops you from groing through the roller coaster of low & high blood sugar.  Also blocks carbs from being absorbed.  Take with meals. 

These can be taken all at once, or start with 1 for a month and add more supplements as needed monthly. 

Dr. Oz had Lisa Lynn (weight loss & metabolism expert) on his show and she talked about all of these supplements. 

Do you take any of these supplements, and if so have you noticed a difference in how you feel?  Inquiring minds want to know.  Please share with us. 

Sincerely,

Jennifer Martin
