Being a vegetarian is believed can be living more healthy than not vegetarian. They get lower the risk of disease such as cancer, heart and hypertension.

Women who engage in 'fat talk' are unsatisfied

A new study has suggested that college women who engage in 'fat talk' (speaking negatively about the size and shape of their bodies) face greater dissatisfaction with their bodies and are more likely to have internalised an ultra-thin body ideal than those who engage in fat talk less frequently.

It is found that while frequency of fat talk was associated with increased dissatisfaction with women's own bodies, over half of the participants reported that they believe fat talk actually makes them feel better about their bodies.

It is concerned that women might think fat talk is a helpful coping mechanism, when it's actually exacerbating body image disturbance.

Researchers Rachel H. Salk of the University of Wisconsin and Renee Engeln-Maddox of Northwestern University found that 'fat talk' is overwhelmingly common in the college-age women they studied, with more than 90 per cent reporting they engaged in 'fat talk'.

"The most common response to fat talk was denial that the friend was fat," said Salk and Engeln-Maddox, "most typically leading to a back-and-forth conversation where each of two healthy weight peers denies the other is fat while claiming to be fat themselves."

An additional interesting finding was that the frequency of 'fat talk' was not related to a respondent's BMI.

"In other words, there was no association between a woman's actual body size and how often she complained about her body size with peers," said Salk and Engeln-Maddox.

"These results serve as a reminder, that for most women, fat talk is not about being fat, but rather about feeling fat," they added.

The review article appears in Psychology of Women Quarterly and is published by SAGE .

Swimming Tips For Ladies – Hair Care Tips For Before, During, and After Swimming

The materials in a swimming pool can be damaging to your hair. However you can use some helpful swimming tips to help you protect your hair in the water. These include things to do before and after getting into the water.

Before getting into the pool you should be sure that your hair has been properly cut. Damaged ends in your hair can easily become worse in the water. By getting a haircut you can get these ends removed so that it will be easier for you to get your hair taken care of for swimming.

Getting your hair saturated is also helpful for preparing to get into the pool. Using water with conditioner on your hair can help. With this your hair will be properly saturated so that it will be harder for chlorinated water to keep from getting into your hair. Your hair will be well protected with this process.

When in the water you will need to keep your hair in place. The use of a hair cap will be important. This is due to how your hair could get in the way when swimming. It helps to get your hair wet with water from outside of the pool before putting a cap on. This is so that it will be easier for your hair to be able to fit into the cap.

If your hair is not long enough for the use of a swim cap it will help to at least do something to keep it intact. The use of a swim ponytail band can help out. A swim band will help to keep your hair in place while in the water without falling off.

After you get out of the water you should wash your hair with shampoo as soon as you can. This is so the chlorine in the water will not cause your hair to get damaged. The use of a comb on your hair will be important too so that you can be sure that strands of your hair do not stick together.

It will help to get all of these processes handled for your hair before swimming. You can get your hair properly protected when you have it cut and saturated. The use of a swim cap will be a necessity when in the water too. Be sure to keep your hair washed after getting out of the pool as well.
