All-Natural Hair Removal Methods – Sugaring
Many natural hair removal methods that date back to ancient times are actually still in use today. For example, an Arabic technique known as “threading” is regaining popularity, often as a method for shaping eyebrows. The technique makes use of looped thread that pulls the hair out by the roots. Perhaps one of the best ancient and natural techniques actually involves the use of sugar. While it’s actual appearance is not clear, sugaring may have first become popular in the Middle East, particularly within areas like Persia around 1900 BC. One of the major draws to sugaring, according to one sugaring Seattle studio, is the fact that sugaring tends to be a much less irritative form of hair removal. Unlike waxing, sugaring does not remove live skin cells from your body, instead simply removing the dead skin cells that accumulate during the day.

Study: Meditation Reduces Loneliness
While the direct health benefits of meditation may be difficult to analyze, some research suggests that the practice can help with conditions as varied as allergies, binge eating, heart disease, substance abuse, high blood pressure and asthma. Meditation is also thought to have positive effects on mental health. For example, older adults who regularly meditate may feel less lonely and have better overall health than those who don’t, according to a recent study into how meditation reduces loneliness. In the study, healthy adults were separated into two groups, one of which participated in a mindfulness program lasting eight weeks and one of which did not. The adults who participated in the program experienced positive changes in genes associated with inflammation, and reported lesser levels of loneliness in comparison to adults in the control group.

How to Prevent Workplace Injuries: Pay Workers For Sick Days
A new study on how to prevent workplace injuries indicates that workers who are afforded paid sick days by their employers are less at risk for job-related injuries. The study, conducted by researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), found that workers given paid time off for illness were 28% less likely to suffer an on-the-job injury. Not surprisingly, the study also found that workers in the most dangerous lines of work receive the biggest benefits from compensated sick days. The most dangerous jobs examined in the study were those contained under the umbrellas of manufacturing and construction. OSHA estimates that around four million people are seriously injured at work every year in the U.S. Also, an average of thirteen workers are killed on the job in America every day.

Spray Tan Health Risks Highlighted in New Surprising Study
Spray tanning is widely favored by those looking to get some summer color without risking their health. The strategy seems sound, as many people try to limit their sun exposure to prevent getting skin cancer. The Skin Cancer Foundation states that around two million people are diagnosed annually. Unfortunately, a new study reported by ABC News indicates that spray tan health risks may be worse than previously believed. According to the report, virtually all spray tanning agents include dihydroxyacetone, or DHA, a chemical known to create genetic mutations in cells in laboratory studies. Although studies have yet to be conducted using human subjects, researchers warn that humans could be affected by these genetic mutations as well. Whether these genetic mutations would pose a health risk is another question that remains unanswered at this time.

Pregnant Women Engage in Binge Drinking Like Nonpregnant Women
The idea that pregnant women should avoid alcohol is commonplace, even among women who have no intentions of becoming pregnant. Indeed, the vast majority of pregnant women don’t drink, much less become binge drinking women. Mothers most typically avoid alcohol to prevent their child from developing possible health issues such as heart defects, poor growth, and problems with speech. Alcohol consumption can sometimes also lead to miscarriage or premature birth. Unfortunately, pregnant women who do decide to binge drink typically do so in exactly the same fashion as nonpregnant women who binge drink. In other words, they do so just as frequently, and with roughly the same number of drinks per session, according to a new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
