ad vic e for
a healthy 2010
Women are remarkably attuned to their
bodies. They know when something isn’t right. Yet symptoms
can go unresolved because not all doctors understand the
intricacies of women’s health. If you’re not getting answers to
your concerns, ask what other options are available, or
whether a referral to a specialist would help.

ad vice for a healthy 2010
Your
skin clearly shows signs of what’s happening with the rest of you, physically and mentally. The three
biggies for healthy skin: no tanning, indoors or out; no smoking, which rapidly ages skin; and no picking
at blemishes, which can lead to scarring and discoloration. See a dermatologist if anything about your
skin changes. It may indicate an underlying medical problem.
