Fwd: Health e-Tips - UVA? UVB? Broad spectrum? Why it doesn't matter

                               



                           
                    2x spearmint for 5 days results in hair growth suppression



I am more interested in the fact that drinking spearmint tea twice a day for five days  before ovulation resulted in decrease of testosterone and increase in estradiol and thus caused decrease in growth of unwanted hair.

Thus less use for shaving and hair removal drugs, and methods. (including laser.)

All I see from my window is grey above and raised umbrellas below. But there are plenty of other clues that the warmer months are ahead. One big one: The mainstream has started its yearly beating of the SPF drum. The beat is a little out of rhythm, though. The industry has failed to meet an FDA labeling requirement to make levels of sunscreen protection more clear. Specifically, the FDA wanted changes clarifying which brands protect against UVB and which protect against UVA rays (the scary ones). Current SPF numbers are mostly related to UVB rays, because those are the ones that lead to sunburn. Manufacturers are also supposed to stop claiming their products are waterproof or sweatproof--they have to say they're "resistant" now. The requirement was introduced last year. Sunscreen makers were given until next month to get those new labels on the shelf. Of course, they're having a "hard time" meeting the deadline (shocking, I know). So now they're being given until December. This leaves SPF-seeking consumers scratching their heads for another year. Here's a little secret, though: None of this really matters. In fact, no matter what the labels say, you can walk right on by that sunscreen display without giving the bottles so much as a glance. Yes, sun exposure can contribute to skin cancer. But there are major benefits of the sun that you can't get slathering yourself in a layer of potentially dangerous chemicals. You can actually reduce your skin cancer risk with limited sun exposure, an excellent diet, and specific supplements (plenty of folate and vitamin A). The summer is prime time to soak up the rays that will help your body make vitamin D. Sunscreens are dangerous for many reasons. They encourage people to stay outside longer under the assumption they're protected. Which of course leads to more damage. UVA rays aren't always blocked. These cause deeper damage while the sunscreen works against UVB damage. So you keep the redness (an important warning of too much exposure) away while the UVA rays are wreaking havoc deeper in your body. Plus, they're chock full of potentially toxic chemicals, including some compounds that, when coupled with sun exposure, actually do MORE damage to the skin and others that cause cancer to spread, as Dr. Wright outlines in the April 2012 issue of Nutrition & Healing. If you're a subscriber, I highly recommend you hold on to that article. It's an essential guide to the benefits of the sun and the reasons for avoiding sunscreens. And of course, sunscreens keep you from the biggest benefit of the sun: vitamin D. Several studies have shown that strict use of sunscreen may induce vitamin D deficiency. So, if we're taking sunscreen out of the picture, how do you get the benefits of the sun without the potential damage? The old-fashioned way! Shade and protective clothing. Dr. Wright recommends getting enough sun exposure on your bare (sunscreen-free) face and arms to turn your skin just slightly pink. At that point, head back into the shade. Enjoy your fun in the sun this summer. Just stay sensible and you can protect yourself from sun damage and get the true benefits of the sun. Yours in good health, Christine O'Brien P.S.

Sip the hair away Q: I have excess facial hair. I find myself wanting to hide my face whenever I leave the house. I can't stand the pain of waxing, and those creams just smell horrible. What can I do? Dr. Wright: Sip a cup of strong spearmint tea to decrease the excess testosterone production that can lead to excess body hair. Researchers in Turkey asked 21 women with excess facial and body hair to drink one cup of strong spearmint tea twice daily for five days in the pre-ovulatory phases of their menstrual cycles. Total testosterone wasn't reduced, but there was a significant reduction in free testosterone and a significant increase in estradiol--this can put the brakes on the stimulation of unwanted hair growth. Enjoy a cup on a regular basis, but don't overdo it--higher testosterone does, after all, stimulate a healthy libido.
