Daily life of women

Introduction

The majority of women in ancient China lived oppressed lives. Even women of the nobility and the imperial family did not escape the oppression, though life was possibly slightly easier for them than for the large population of poor women. Women were considered inferior to men and from the moment of birth most women were treated as inferiors.

Family life

Women in ancient China were considered inferior to men. This meant that their whole lives were spent being subservient to the men in their families. Generations of one family often lived in the same house together and older people were greatly respected. A grandmother became important if she outlived her husband as she would then be the oldest member of the household and would be afforded the most respect. Confucius taught that women's roles were to look after the men in their families. He believed that it was not acceptable for a woman to have her own ambitions and that she should have barely any life outside her own home. He did, however, teach that a woman's role as mother and mother-in-law should be respected. He taught that a 'woman's greatest duty is to have a son'.

Learning to Become a Couple

One of the hardest adjustments couples must make when they marry is to start thinking of themselves as "we" instead of "I." Before marriage, a date simply means two people agreeing to commit to one another for the duration of the date. No matter how good or bad the date goes, there's always an end in sight. If the date is a success and the couple continues to see each other, their commitment may grow to be where they date each other exclusively, or maybe even move in together.

But when couples marry, it's naïve to assume their commitment levels are automatically going to be totally in synch. For example, many engaged or newly married couples sometimes find it difficult to decide exactly how much time they should be together versus how much they should spend apart with friends. "This can be very difficult for couples to talk about and often causes disagreements even prior to marriage," says Melbourne-based marriage counselor Julia Nasser. "An engaged or newly married man, for instance, may suddenly feel the need to spend time apart from his bride (even though he loves her dearly) just so he still feels like 'his own person.' He may even encourage his bride to schedule more time with her friends so that he has time to see his own. "

Ways of Living Longer And Happier Life

Long life and happiness. If these two things aren't on your list of top priorities, well, they certainly should be! The great news is if you take the time to look at the stories of people who have lived to reach a happy one hundred years old they all have shared some reoccurring qualities. Read on and I'll share the top 7 ways of living longer and happier life I've picked up from my studies. Enjoy! I'll think you find these tips very, very helpful. '

Pay Attention to Eating Healthy
This probably comes as a no brainer, but it really can't be emphasized enough - how well you eat every day carries great weight on how long and happy you live. Think more fresh green vegetables, lots of water, a wide range of different legumes, seeds, nuts and fruits.
As for animal proteins, if you must, fish and white lean meats are a much better alternative to fatty red meats. Go easy on sugar, caffeine and other health busters. As for portion sizes - the smaller the better! Studies have shown reducing daily calorie intake in animal by 25% has extended their lives by an equal amount of time. Eye opening isn't it?

Always Stay Active
Along with a healthy diet the next thing nearly everyone who lives a happy long live we've seen interviewed shares in common is their staying active. This is daily activity like walking, light exercise and yard work more so than intense gym routines or fitness fads. If you love the gym certainly go, but make sure you stay active in other possibly more important ways too. Not only will you be healthier, likely live longer, but studies all agree you will feel much better about yourself and be much happier too. Stay active and your body will thank you!

For Healthy Eyes And Better Vision

Staying healthy obviously involves keeping a healthy diet and an active lifestyle. This usually refers to a healthy heart, strong bones and a healthy, slim body. But keeping healthy also implies taking care of vision, our most important asset. After all, seeing well into the future requires healthy eyes and, most certainly, after reaching an old age, many people develop vision problems. Issues such as cataracts, dry eyes or other ocular disease may be prevented by following simple eating guidelines and basically "keeping an eye" on healthy foods. Here is a rundown of some of the best foods for healthy eyes and better vision:

 Carrots
The number one obviously goes to carrots. Bugs Bunny certainly knew that carrots are the way to having a perfect vision. These orange colored vegetables are packed with beta carotene (carotene actually comes from carrots, hence the name) and antioxidants to help fight degenerative eye diseases such as cataracts and macular diseases.
Carrots are easy to add to any dish or salad, but if you don't like them whole or solid, carrot juice is a great option. After all, most food supplements or child drinks have carrot juice as a main ingredient. Carrots can be a fine ingredient for soups, stews or any other sauce, be it hummus, spice sauces or sweet pastes. You can even dip them in salsa, hummus, peanut butter, or guacamole for added flavor and texture.

Ways To Slow Down Aging And Look Young All The Time

The process of aging is natural and it isn't something you can stop from happening. As you age, your skin starts to lose its moistness and become more prone to damage. However, there are many natural ways available to slow down the aging process and look young. Here's 5:

Drink Plenty of Water

Human body is made up of 60% water and day-to-day routines deplete this valuable resource which needs to be replenished. Drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water every day - more is obviously better. Having adequate water content in the body will keep your internal organs hydrated as well as in good working condition. Additionally, it can help your digestive system run smoothly and stop bowel irregularity. Last but not least, it'll help your actual skin look flexible, vibrant and supple by keeping it hydrated and flushing out wastes from the body.

Reduce Stress

Every person has stress in their life, and if you learn to manage it, then you'll find your life is a way better. Researches reveal that mental stress speeds up the aging process. When you're stressed out, you lose the body's natural balance which in turn causes damage to bodily hormone secretion, cell-repair, and collagen generation. There are many ways for you to reduce the mental stress. You can divert your attention to various things like doing exercises, in order to relieve stress. Yoga, deep breathing and meditation can cut down stress, boost oxygen and blood flow and improve energy level.

Ways to Ruin a Wedding

The worst things that wedding guests have actually done (and what you should do instead).

If you want to ruin a wedding, then you must have a pretty good reason for doing it. Maybe you don't approve of the union of the bride and groom, or maybe the bride or groom or someone in the wedding party has hurt you and you want to seek revenge. Or maybe you just feel like being a jerk for the sake of it -- even if you're not invited. There are a variety of reasons for wanting to ruin a wedding, and almost none of them are good, but if you really want to know how to ruin a wedding, just follow these steps and you'll be on your way in no time at all.
Engagement Photos
Will an engagement photo ruin a wedding? No. Probably not. But it is a fittingly unnatural precursor to your wedlock and, undoubtedly, the most humiliating snapshot you'll ever take part in.

Skinny jeans are a hot favorite with women today.

High Heel Tips for Women

I love to wear high heels. I wear them almost every day and I am quite comfortable in them. High heels can causes many problems like pain, bunions, corns, and calluses that can grow worse with each passing year. I am sharing few tricks here which will help you in dealing with the pain. These tips will help you to be more comfortable with heels and when you walk in them.
Buy the right size - Measure your feet and always buy the right fit shoes. Wear them correctly. If yourshoes or sandals are tight it will cause pain and blisters. The shoes should be comfortable when you walk. Before buying wear them and walk inside the shoe shop to be comfortable with them.
Don't wear very high heels rather go for heels that are comfortable. Avoid wearing pencil heels rather opt for kitten or block heels. Platform heels are also comfortable for long walks. Narrow heels are uncomfortable and painful. Stilettos are hot, but consider choosing the thicker ones and provide more support to your body.
Always wear a socks or stocking when wearing high heel shoes. Socks and stockings protect your feet from damage and blisters. You can wear foot pads or insoles if not socks. Now days there are few specifically designed insoles that are used with high heels to reduce pain. Even a thin layer helps you to get that soft cushion which avoids pain and damage while walking.

Try on shoes at the end of the day as your size changes throughout the day and they swell a bit. Don't buy cheap shoes. Always try to buy good quality shoes which are comfortable to wear.
Bring shoes home and wear a night before you wear them. Shoes will take your shape and become comfortable if you wear them for some time and walk inside the house. Every shoe is going to be comfortable within sometime, not as soon as you wear them. It may bite you a bit initially but you will be fine soon.
Stand up straight and take care of your posture. Go for regular foot soaks, foot massages and general foot care regime which will help you to keep your feet healthy. Change out your shoes often and experiment in between. Go for heels, flats and sneakers sometimes as they are less prone to pain. Carry lot of bandage when you wear them for first time.

Women’s Hormones And Athletic Performance

1. What hormonal changes are observed in boys and girls at puberty?

At puberty, girls develop more adipose tissue, owing to their estrogen levels, and boys develop more muscle mass, owing to their testosterone levels .

2. What is the menstrual cycle, and what are its distinct phases?

The human menstrual cycle, designed to prepare a woman’s body for pregnancy, takes an average of 28 days. Usually, once a month the uterus grows a new, thickened lining (endometrium) that can hold a fertilized egg. If there is no fertilized egg to start a pregnancy, the uterus then sheds its lining.

The menstrual cycle has three distinct phases: the follicular phase (FP), ovulation and the luteal phase (LP). The FP begins on day one of menstruation and lasts about 10–14 days, until ovulation (the monthly release of a mature egg from an ovary). The LP, or secretory, phase is the second half of the menstrual cycle, after ovulation. Estrogen and progesterone concentrations vary between the phases.

3. Does lactate accumulation during exercise inhibit fat breakdown?

No, lactate accumulation from higher-intensity exercise does not inhibit lipolysis .

4. What is the female athlete triad?

The three components of the female athlete triad are lack of a menstrual cycle, low bone mineral density and eating disorders. The triad occurs in females whose training levels exceed energy availability. Health consequences include cardiovascular, endocrine, reproductive, skeletal, gastrointestinal, renal and central nervous system complications. Psychological problems include low self-esteem, depression and anxiety disorders.

The first goal of treatment for someone suffering from the female athlete triad is boosting energy availability by increasing intake of foodstuffs and/or reducing energy expenditure. Females with eating disorders or disordered-eating patterns should be referred for nutritional counseling .

Women Still

It’s time to stop fooling ourselves, says a woman who left a position of power: the women who have managed to be both mothers and top professionals are superhuman, rich, or self-employed. If we truly believe in equal opportunity for all women, here’s what has to change.

EIGHTEEN MONTHS INTO my job as the first woman director of policy planning at the State Department, a foreign-policy dream job that traces its origins back to George Kennan, I found myself in New York, at the United Nations’ annual assemblage of every foreign minister and head of state in the world. On a Wednesday evening, President and Mrs.

Obama hosted a glamorous reception at the American Museum of Natural History. I sipped champagne, greeted foreign dignitaries, and mingled. But I could not stop thinking about my 14-year-old son, who had started eighth grade three weeks earlier and was already resuming what had become his pattern of skipping homework, disrupting classes, failing math, and tuning out any adult who tried to reach him. Over the summer, we had barely spoken to each other—or, more accurately, he had barely spoken to me. And the previous spring I had received several urgent phone calls—invariably on the day of an important meeting—that required me to take the first train from Washington, D.C., where I worked, back to Princeton, New Jersey, where he lived. My husband, who has always done everything possible to support my career, took care of him and his 12-year-old brother during the week; outside of those midweek emergencies, I came home only on weekends.

Women and Islam

“There needs to be a clear distinction between the normative teachings of Islam and the cultural practices among Muslims, which or may not be consistent with them... In identifying what is “Islamic” it is necessary to make a distinction between the primary sources of Islam ( Qu’ran and Sunnah) and the legal opinions of scholars on specific issues, which may vary and be influenced by their times, circumstances, and cultures”

1.    According to the Qur’an men and women have the same spiritual human nature:

O mankind:  Reverence your Guardian Lord  Who created you from a
single person and created of like nature his mate.

2.    According to the Qur’an, a woman (Eve) was not blamed for the “fall of man.”  Pregnancy and
childbirth are not seen as punishments for “eating from the forbidden tree.” 

O Adam ! Dwell you and your wife in the garden and enjoy (its good things)
as you (both) wish:  but approach not this tree or you (both) run into harm and transgression.

I command you to be kind to women.  

O you who believe!  You are forbidden to inherit women against their will.  Nor should you treat them with harshness that you may take away part of the marital gift you have given them, except where they have been guilty of open lewdness; on the contrary, live with then on a footing of kindness and equity.                     ( Qur’an 4: 19)

Marketing Women

Marketing Myths About Women Debunked

In the world of advertising, stereotypes abound. Men are domestically challenged; women choose cars by color; seniors don't know squat about the Internet, etc. Most themes that drive marketing decisions have been used for years without regard to changes in contemporary society, and this has never been more true than with ads geared towards women. Gross assumptions remain in the advertising subconscious, especially the myth that women don't know much about money and investing.  

Fall Fashion

 fall fashion trend to skip is the over-the-knee boot. Although this style may be trendy for fall and winter, it's a difficult look for most women to wear successfully, and thigh-high boots are more likely to end up as a fad than a trend anyway.

If you like the look of boots, boots that come to just below the knee are a better investment of your fashion dollar. They can be worn tucked inside skinny jeans or with a skirt. When wearing boots with a skirt or dress, make sure that the hem comes to the top of the boots for a longer, leaner look.

Fashion Classics

Bags get bigger with cooler weather because you have more to carry (umbrellas, wraps, hats).

The leather bag doesn't have to be boring -- there are logoed styles, patent, exotic skins, quilting, bold hardware, bright colors and much more -- but the most classic looks have a ladylike feel to them and understated luxury.

Unlike an in-today/out-tomorrow "It" bag, the large leather bag will be your faithful friend for years. This is one splurge where you'll get lots of mileage on your investment.

 There's a reason timeless fashion pieces retain their popularity: they go with most things in your closet and transcend the trends. The Ankle Boots  -- especially in a camel color -- is an enduring fall classic because it has so many possibilities.

Pantsuits may be the ultimate power suit for the working woman, but they also pull their weight after hours when paired with a silky cami and heels.

A solid black pantsuit is the most flattering (head-to-toe monochromatic color) and the most classic. Look for a fabric with drape -- nothing too stiff or shiny -- preferably in wool (or wool with some stretch for comfort).

Your Best in Ankle Boots

Sometimes black booties look harsh with short dresses in light colors, but by adding a black leather jacket to a sparkly dress this look balances itself out.

 Slim bottoms -- like skinny jeans and leggings -- are a natural for ankle boots. Just slip these tight-fitting bottoms into the top of ankle boots for a sleek look.

  
One of the easiest ways to wear ankle boots is to pair black shoes with black tights (and a black dress if you really want to go monochromatic.) The look is flattering for most women and most cuts of ankle boots.

New Looks For The New Season

“Perfect for a night out, the key thing here is texture; it should look lightweight and windswept to make it cool rather than too done.”

1. Prep hair well using a round bristle brush and Headmasters Big Glam Hair Root Boost Mousse for loads of volume, and add some Headmasters Colour Brilliance Frizz Free Glossing Serum  on the ends to keep it looking healthy.

2. Get a medium Babyliss tong and wind random sections all away from the face for luxe waves.

3. Put in the deep side part, which instantly adds a grown-up glamorous feel to any style, and spray hair with Headmasters Big Glam Hair Style Extend dry shampoo. Then take a teardrop section around the top of the head with the point at the back.
