If one thinks of health HOLISTICALLY, then they know it includes more than just medical health. Here’s some issues that come to mind in US, however. The ones listed that seem positive, however, have all contributed to both negative and positive outcomes,and some of these things have plagued humans for milllennia….

GYNECOLOGICAL
infertility increased signifcantly
STDs very prevalent
breast cancer very common
more drug addicted babies born
greater access to contraceptives and abortion
less women of childbearing years with medical insurance

MISUSE OF POWER AGAINST WOMEN
sexual abuse, incest, molestation
rape (spousal,date,stranger)
domestic violence, partner abuse

MENTAL HEALTH
depression, suicide
exhaustion, overwork, lack of social support
addiction, other self destructive behavior

SOCIAL
single moms, head of household increased
divorced or abandoned wives increased
number of homeless women (professionals & non-professionals)
crime rate in women escalating
women in prison skyrocketing
abuse and neglect of unwanted children increasing
childcare crisis, esp for those in poverty

ECONOMIC
women still do not get equal pay for equal work
women with same higher degrees as men may not get equal pay
women still own less than 10% of earth’s land
"domestic chores" still known as "woman’s work" and are still disrespected and devalued
elderly single women increasingly destitute-misplaced socially
females still represent barely 10% of elected officials

SPIRITUALLY
women’s spirituality still downplayed and devalued
women priests or priestesses still rare globally

Some of these have affected me, but most of them I see on a daily basis with the people I work with or live near.

Well, I haven’t been around since the 1960’s, but one thing that has changed a lot just in the time I’ve been alive is contraception. We have a lot more options now than women did even a couple decades ago, and the pill has gotten much safer. The first pills had a huge amount of hormones in them and they had a lot of bad side effects. They were also very expensive. Now they have much fewer hormones in them so the side effects are nowhere near as bad as they would have been with the old pills, and they’re very affordable–I pay $12/month for mine. Plus we have all kinds of other contraception options too–the ring, the shot, the implant, the patch, and all the barrier methods. Hormonal methods that we have today are much more effective than methods they had in the 1960’s.

I was told that a blood test can be done 9 days after conception and a urine test not until after the first missed period. I would definetly do a retest.

Comment on How much fitness do i need 2 do to start using whey protein powder? by Timmy

Hey Andy, Ive got a fantastic recommendation for you. Are you doing long distance running? or sprinting?

If your doing long distance stop

Do sprints instead with regular breaks

This should be done for 30 minutes

Take the protein shake directly after this workout for best results

It works because it changes the metabolism process and increases muscle mass

Long distance decreases muscle mass

not accurate at all, implantation usually occurs around 7 or 8 days past ovulation, and a range from 5-12 days past ovulation, and then it takes a couple days for the hCG (pregnancy hormone) to be released into the blood…but this means that she would also not be feeling pregnancy symptoms either becuase its the hCG that causes them….otherwise it would be PMS….she should wait until her expected period to test, and should do a home test first…
