Perhaps not all ofrepparttar cases are caused by these fashion symbols, but it should not be dismissed as being a large contributor. This isrepparttar 115005 age of plastic surgery and breast enhancements, if a woman did not feel that she had to have these two things in order to be beautiful they would not be so popular. So what causes her to want this? Men and of course societies portrayal of women.

This is not just a woman’s problem however. Men are put under just as much scrutiny as women. A man must be strong, well in shape, and not too fat or too skinny. They have to act a certain way, be tough and able to take charge. Some men just aren’t this way and again end up with long term depression.

Society must change as a whole in order for our children of this country to feel wanted and feel beautiful again.

Triggers of Migraines – Why You Should Know Yours

Written by Anne Moss


Continued from page 1

Environmental Triggers

You may find it hard to avoid them, but for some people, environmental changes can trigger a migraine. Changes in temperature, humidity and barometric pressure are all potential migraine triggers. A change in altitude is also a possible trigger.

Stress and Depression

Blaming your mental state for migraines is a wee bit problematic. You see, for centuries, female migraineurs have been looked upon as sensitive, or even hysterical, women with a bad headache. Today, migraine is acknowledged as a serious neurological condition and patients are no longer "blamed" for their condition. The national Migraine Awareness Group (MAGNUM), takes special care in their website to stress that migraine is a purely physiological disorder and not a psychological one.

However, many other resources include stress and depression onrepparttar list of possible triggers. Some even go to say that a migraine maybe triggered byrepparttar 115004 end of a stressful situation, so that when it's time to relax – your body lets go… and gets hit with a migraine.
