All-Natural Depression Cures

By Loren Chidoni, Womens Health
Early spring grays giving you the blues? Its no surprise. Lack of sunlight can cause a serious drop in your level of serotonin, a feel-good chemical thats found in the brain. And without enough serotonin, our mood descends into darkness or, at the very least, an unpleasant crabbiness (you know, the bad temper we typically blame on the rain). Fortunately, you can outsmart wicked weather patterns with these mood-boosting tips as you await the arrival of sunnier days.Light Up Your LifeIf a Miami mini-break isnt an option, seek out a light box. A strong one that emits at least 10,000 lux can have the same effect as basking in the early-morning sunminus the cancer-causing UV rays. Place the light box on a table near youyou need only 30 minutes of exposure to increase your serotonin levels and leave you more alert and energized, two factors that contribute to a good mood, says Michael Terman, Ph.D., director of the Center for Light Treatment and Biological Rhythms at New York Citys Columbia University Medical Center.

The easiest way to fight depression.Devour Chocolate DailyIts true: One small square a day can keep the blues away. Chocolate contains a pleasure-promoting, mood-regulating neuro-transmitter called phenylethylamine, which stimulates a rush of endorphins, the same compounds released during an orgasm. Studies show that cocoa has almost twice the amount of antioxidants as red wine, so it helps lower blood pressure and wards off wrinkles. When snacking, stick to dark chocolate thats at least 70 percent cocoa; its healthier than the milk-infused variety.Eat For Health: Your age-defying, libido-lifting, mood-boosting, cancer-beating, eyesight! -saving, heart-strengthening, fat-fighting, decade-by-decade nutrition plan.

Red Wine Reduced Breast Cancer Cells

Italian researchers from the University of Calabria say they demonstrated how a key ingredient in red wine inhibits the proliferation of human breast cancer cells . Resveratrol is the ingredient they say might be useful in the treatment of breast cancer, in addition to primary therapies. In their experiment resveratrol was applied to different cells and compared to cells that received no treatment. The cells receiving resveratrol showed a decrease in growth. A large reduction in estrogen receptor levels was believed to be related to the inhibition of the breast cancer cells. Their research study was published in the Journal of the Federation of American Societies forExperimental Biology. These findings are exciting, but in no way does it mean that should people go out and start using red wine or resveratrol supplements as a treatment for breast cancer, said Gerald Weissmann, M.D., Editor-in-Chief.

Get Married, Live Longer?

Written by Jessica Cruel for YourTango.com New research shows that getting married could lengthen your life for up to 17 years .A study published in The American Journal Of Epidemiology reveals that single men have a 32 percent higher chance of death than married men across a lifetime. That means they could die eight to 17 years before the average married man of loneliness? Single women fare a bit better: They have a 23 percent (or about seven to 15 years) lower life expectancy compared to their married peers. This data is based on 90 studies of around 500 million people compiled over the last 60 years by researchers at the University of Louisville: No small feat. Younger singles face greater chances of early death. The risk of death for 30 to 39-year-old singles was 128 percent higher than for married people of the same age. On the other hand, 70-year-old singles only had a 16 percent higher risk of death. Perhaps its because theyve survived a single youth and emerged unscathed. These
