Exercise attenuates the weight-loss-induced reduction in muscle mass in frail obese older adults
In the study to evaluate the effect of adding exercise to a hypocaloric diet on changes in appendicular lean mass and strength in frail obese older adults undergoing voluntary weight loss, found that exercise added to diet reduces muscle mass loss during voluntary weight loss and increases muscle strength in frail obese older adults. Regular exercise that incorporates PRT should be used to attenuate muscle mass loss in frail obese older adults on weight-loss therapy(1).

Herbal Butcher's broom and Orthostatic hypotension (OH)
Butcher's broom is a low evergreen shrub, a species of Ruscus aculeatus, belonging to the family Asparagaceae,
native to Eurasia.It has been used in herbal medicine to treat reduce
inflammation, Peripheral vascular disease, Hemorrhoids Bronchial asthma,
Varicose veins, Hypotension, Jaundice, functional disorders of the
heart, kidney disorder, venotonic and anti-oedematous properties, etc..
Orthostatic hypotension (OH), also known as postural hypotension of which happens when a person stands up from sitting or lying down or in sudden adjustment of body position, the blood pressure falls, and a person may be experience lightheaded or sometime pass out.
The Ingredients
It contains rutin, sitosterol, sparteine, spirostanol saponins, steroidal sapogenins, sterols, stigmasterol, sulfated steroidal saponins, sweet broom, tetracosanoic acid, triterpenes, triterpines, tyramine, etc.
The benefits
Orthostatic hypotension (OH) mostly affects the groups of the population with autonomic insufficiency--the elderly; patients with diabetes, Parkinson's disease, and chronic fatigue syndrome; and anyone on drugs that affect the autonomic nervous system. In conventional medicine, most cases of Orthostatic hypotension (OH) are normally treated with fludrocortisone and midodrine in conventional medicine. But in the study of Butcher's broom and Orthostatic hypotension (OH) by the American University, to evaluate the properties of Ruscus aculeatus, its mechanism of action, and its suitability as a therapeutic agent for treatment of OH, showed that with proven phlebotherapeutic properties, including vasoconstrictive action and venotonic properties, Ruscus aculeatus shows great promise for ameliorating the symptoms of OH and improving the quality of life for large groups in the population without increasing supine blood pressure.
The Side effects
1. Do not use if you are pregnant with out permission of related field specialist, as Sparteine may increase uterine contraction
2. Do not use Butcher's broom if you are taking any form of monoamine oxidaseinhibitor
3. Use as direction and do not overdose

Herbal Burdock and Anti-aging and anti-oxidant Effects
Burdock is plant in the group of biennial thistles, genus Arctium, belonging to the family Asteraceae, native to the Euro. It has been used over thousand of years in Chins and other traditional herbal medicine as a diuretic, diaphoretic, and a blood purifying agent and to treat wounds and infections stomach ulcers and other digestive problems.
A free radical is any atom or molecule that has a single unpaired electron in an outer shell and highly reactive to react with other cell, which in turn, causes oxidative damage to the enzymes, other protein, unsaturated fatty acid, phospho-lipids, DNA and RNA, etc., leading to aging of the organisms, as a result of widespread damage due to set of a chain reaction auto-catalytically after attacking the lipid bilayers of the cell walls.
The ingredients
It contains carbonated water, sugar,, manloid colourings, phosphoric acid, citric acid and a good amount of dietary fiber, calcium, potassium, and amino acids and chemicals compounds of guaianolide, arctinone, arctinal, methyl arctate，11-tridecadien-3，5，7，9-tetraynde-hydrocostus lactone，dehydrodihydrocostus lactone, 3-octenoic acid, 3-hexenoic acid etc.
The health benefits
Many herbs has been tested in human history to prolong the life span of human being, but so far none of them has achieved the optimal result. In the study to examine the anti-aging effects and mechanism of Niubanggen (Radix Arctii Lappae)by observing the activity of SOD and the content of MDA and lipofuscin in the tissues of the liver, brain and blood serum of the lab rats, indicated that t he mechanism of the anti-aging effects of the Niubanggen is mainly obtained by raising the activity of SOD and reducing the contents of MDA and lipofuscin. On the other hand, researchers found that Phenolic content of burdock has exerted a strong activity in fighting against forming of free radicals and foreign invaders as well as anti-elastase and anti-collagenase in a study of 21 plants of which may contribute to the delay of aging process.
The Side effects
1. Overdose can be poisoning and may lead to symptoms of acute poisoning include phenothiazines, tricyclic antidepressants, and antihistamines.
2. It may cause dermatitis and allergic/inflammatory responses to certain people with contact as a result of lactones which the plant produces.
3. Do not use burdock if you are pregnant or breast feeding.

Herbal Bearberry and Hypertension
Bear berries are 3 species in the genus Arctostaphylos, belonging to the family Ericaceae, native to the
northern North America, Asia and Europe. The herbs have been used in
traditional medicine as diuretic agents and to treat urinary problems,
including bladder infections, kidney infection, kidney stone, pelvic
pain, etc.
Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood. High blood pressure means raising pressure in your heart.If it stays high over time it can damage the body in many ways.
Blood pressure medications have undoubtedly prevented many deaths from heart disease in the past 30 years, but they have many side effects such as damaging the kidney. If you can control your diet, such as making changes to lifestyle, maintaining ideal weight and diet with low salt, you could do just fine without the drugs.
The Ingredients
It contains arbutin, ursolic acid, tannic acid, gallic acid, some essential oil and resin, hydroquinones tannins, phenolic glycosides and flavonoids.
The benefits
Many herbs have been used to lower high blood pressure by enhancing the urinary flow in alternative medicine and bear berry is one of them. The leaf of The leaves of Vaccinium arctostaphylos has been used in Iran' folk medicine for the treatment of hypertension. In the the study of the possible hypotensive activity of aqueous extract of Vaccinium arctostaphylos leaves in rat model of two-kidney, one-clip hypertension, a higher dose the extract did have hypotensive activity without changing the heart rate. Other study also indicated that Aqueous extracts of Sambucus nigra and Arctostaphylos uva-ursi and hydroalcohol extracts of Orthosiphon stamineus revealed that they led to an increase in urine flow.
The Side effect
1. Overdoses may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, including cause nausea, vomiting, etc. and fever, chills, severe back pain, ringing in the ears, etc.
2. The herb may interact with other medicine, including diuretic
3. Do not use the herb in new born, children or if you are pregnant or breast feeding without approval from the related field specialist.

Herbal Arnica and Bruising
Arnica
is a herbaceous species, genus perennial, belonging to the family
Asteraceae, antive to Europe and Asia. It has been used in herbal
medicine for centuries to treat strains, sprains, and bruises.
Bruising, also known as contusion, is defined as a condition of damage to capillaries and sometimes venules as a result of trauma of that allowing blood to seep, hemorrhage, or extravasate into the surrounding interstitial tissues.
The ingredients
Beside containing contain helenalin as it main ingredient used as anti-inflammatory agent in herbal medicine, it also contains 11,13- dihydrohelenaline, chamissonolid, Sesquiterpene lactone, lignans of the furofuran, dibenzylbutyrolactone, dibenzylbutyrolactol types, pinoresinol, epipinoresinol, phillygenin, matairesinol, nortrachelogenin, and nortracheloside, six dibenzylbutyrolactol derivative, etc.
The Benefits
Bruising happens quite often in our life and in most case it will resolve by itself. Painful brusing can be treated over-the-counter pain medicine, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), or naproxen (Aleve). In some cases, it may be result of certain medical conditions and attention of your doctor is necessary, such as an infection of the valves of the heart (endocarditis) or abnormal function of the blood-clotting elements (platelets), bleeding within the abdomen, etc.
Homeopathic arnica is widely believed to control bruising, reduce swelling and promote recovery after local trauma. In a double (patient and rater) blinded randomized controlled study of dermatological procedures can result in disfiguring bruises that resolve slowly of healthy volunteers, age range 21-65 years, topical 20% arnica ointment may be able to reduce bruising more effectively than placebo and more effectively than low-concentration vitamin K formulations, such as 1% vitamin K with 0·3% retinol. In other double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial with three parallel arms. 64 adults undergoing elective surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome were randomized to take three tablets daily of homeopathic arnica 30C or 6C or placebo for seven days before surgery and fourteen days after surgery, showed that homeopathic arnica has an advantage over placebo in reducing postoperative pain, bruising and swelling in patients undergoing elective hand surgery.
The Side effects
1. Arnica can increase leg pain in a short term.
2. Allergy
Arnica used as Cosmetics and herbal remedies with Compositae plant extracts may cause allergic effect in Compositae-allergic patients.
3. Atopic dermatitis
Patient with atopic dermatitis should use Arnica with care as the herb may increase the risk of a risk factor for Compositae allergy.
4. Toxicity
Arnica is toxic as it contains measurable amount of helenalin.

Sarcopenic obesity in the elderly and strategies for weight management
Sarcopenic obesity in the elderly is associated with a loss
of independence and metabolic complications and represents a major
public health challenge in individuals over the age of 65 years. Dr. Li
Z, and Dr. Heber D. at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA,
said that tt is likely that age-related losses of muscle mass and
coincident
increases in fat mass could be reduced through regular resistance exercise
combined with adequate protein intake to maintain muscle mass. It has
been established that increased protein intake will maintain muscle mass
during calorie-restricted diets to a greater extent than usual protein
intake. Other strategies, including the use of high-protein meal
replacements or supplementation with specific ergogenic or
branched-chain amino acids, may be beneficial(1).

Relationship between antioxidant intakes and class I sarcopenia
In the study of the effect of nutritional intake on sarcopenia has been mostly examined
in class II sarcopenia, i.e. when muscle mass has sufficiently decreased
to induce a loss in physical capacity, showed that although there were no significant differences between the sarcopenic and
the non-sarcopenic group when antioxidant intakes were considered
individually, we observed that the number of RDAs reached for
antioxidant micronutrients and protein in healthy, older white men and
women was lower in sarcopenic than nonsarcopenic individuals. Our
results also suggest that a higher total dietary protein intake is
associated with the preservation of muscle mass loss
although both groups displayed values above actual RDAs. Obviously,
prospective studies are needed to determine the minimum amount of
protein in the diet needed to prevent class I sarcopenia and to examine the utility of antioxidant intake to combat the age-related loss in skeletal muscle mass(1).

Physical activity, protein intake, and appendicular skeletal muscle mass in older men
In the study of the maintenance of physical activity and dietary protein intake would attenuate the age-related decline in total appendicular skeletal muscle mass, indicated that Aging was inversely associated with total appendicular skeletal muscle mass in older men (r = -0.43; slope: -0. 119 +/- 0.039 kg/y; P < 0.01). An effect of age on appendicular skeletal muscle mass persisted after standing height and physical activity were controlled for (r = -0.34; slope: -0.120 +/- 0.052 kg/y; P = 0.03). Furthermore, an effect of age on appendicular skeletal muscle mass persisted after standing height and dietary protein intake per kilogram body mass was controlled for (r = -0.41; slope: -0.127 +/- 0.045 kg/y; P < 0.01)(1).

Exercise training in obese older adults prevents increase in bone turnover and attenuates decrease
In the study to determine the independent and combined effects of weight loss
and ET(weight training) on bone metabolism in relation to bone mineral
density (BMD) in obese older adults, indicated that the addition of ET
to weight loss therapy among obese older adults prevents weight loss-induced increase in bone turnover and attenuates weight loss-induced reduction in hip BMD despite weight loss-induced decrease in bone-active hormones(1).

Physical activity advertisements that feature daily well-being improve autonomy and body image
In the study to investigates whether framing physical activity in advertisements featuring distinct types of goals differentially influences body image and behavioral regulations based on self-determination theory among overweight and obese individuals, showed that there are immediate framing effects on physical activity behavioral regulations and body image from reading a one-page advertisement about physical activity and that gender and BMI moderate these effects. Framing physical activity as a way to enhance daily well-being positively influenced participants' perceptions about the experience of being physically active and enhanced body image among overweight women, but not men(1).

Herbal Anise and Primary Dysmenorrhea
Anise is
a flowering plant ofthe species of Pimpinella anisum, genus Pimpinella,
belonging to the family Apiaceae native to to Egypt and the
Mediterranean region. The popular herb has been used in traditional
herbal medicine as fragrance in soaps, oils, and mouth fresheners and
stomachic, anti-septic, anti-spasmodic, carminative, digestive,
expectorant, stimulant and tonic agent to treat head-lice and mites,
increase blood pressure, prevent formation of gas in the
gastrointestinal tract and menstrual cramps, etc.
Dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation) is defined as a condition of severe uterine pain during menstruation. Some women may experience periodic pains during or prior to, or after menstrual periods in the lower abdomen as resulting of over production of certain hormones in the prostaglandins family. In traditional Chinese medicine, dysmenorrhea is defined as a pain in the lower abdomen, appearing with menstrual cycle that can spread over to the whole abdomen and lumbosacral region, depending to diagnosis.
Ingredients
Beside the main ingredient Anethole, it also contains, D-pinene, I-phellandrene, Alpha-terpineol, Safrol, Methyl chavicol, Resin, Shikimic acid, etc.
The benefits
Anise contains certain chemical compounds in relieving the cramps and pain of primary dysmenorrhea, due to immature of the reproductive organs of young girls, according to the study of herbal drug group given 500 mg of highly purified saffron, celery seed, and anise (SCA) extracts three times a day for three days. Other in the study of Herbal combination of Women were taken either mefenamic acid, an herbal combination of saffron/celery seed extract in combination with either anise or fennel from the onset of bleeding or pain for three days each cycle and followed for two to three cycles found that women taking the SCA herbal combination had a decrease in pain intensity and duration as did those in the mefenamic acid group and both had statistically significant reductions in pain scores and pain duration compared with the women in the placebo group.
The Side Effects
1. If you have high blood pressure or pregnant please consult with your doctor or related field specialist before applying.
2. Star Anise is toxic.
3. Skin Irritation

Herbal Andrographis and Rheumatoid arthritis
Andrographis paniculata
is also known as Andrographis is a herbaceous plant, genus
Andrographis, belonging to the family Acanthaceae, native to India and
Sri Lanka. It has been used in traditional Siddha and Ayurvedic in
treating the common cold, flu, upper respiratory infections, infectious
diseases, diarrhea, dysentery, cholera, pneumonia, swollen lymph nodes,
leprosy, bronchitis, sore throats, tuberculosis, chicken pox, etc.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid Arthritis is defined a chronic disorder as a result of inflammation, affecting mostly the flexible (synovial) joints and tissues and organs in the body. The disease affects more women than in men and generally occurs after the ages of 40 and diminishes the quality of life of many elders.
The Ingredients
Beside the main ingredient andrographolides, giving the plant a bitter taste, other ingredients includediterpene lactones, such as: neoandrographolide, andrographiside, 14-doexy-11, 12-didehydro andrographolide, etc., flavonoinds viz., oroxylin, wogonin, andrographidines A, B, C, D, E, F.
The benefits
Andrographis paniculata (AP) possesses anti-inflammatory effects, as a result of its main constituent andrographolide proposed as alternative in the treatment of autoimmune disease, according to the study of Tablets (Paractin) made of an extract of A. paniculata (30% total andrographolides) were administered three times a day for 14 weeks, after a 2-week washout period to 60 patients with active RA. In the study of osteoclast formation, AP suppressed RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis through attenuating NF-κB and ERK/MAPK signalling pathways in vitro, thus preventing bone loss in vivo. of which may be a potential therapeutic natural compound for the treatment of osteoclast-related bone diseases. Others in the study of he pseudo-tumoral expansion of fibroblast-like synoviocytes which is a hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), showed that andrographolide exerts anti-growth and pro-apoptotic effects on RAFLSs, thus may have therapeutic potential for the treatment of RA. by induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in human rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes.
The Side effects
1. Antifertility
Dry leaf powder of A. paniculata increases the risk accumulating of glycogen and cholesterol in the testis, and increased activities of lactate dehydrogenase in testis and alkaline phosphatase in testis and ventral prostate, thus reducing the risk of fertility.
2. People with gallbladder disease may want to consult with their doctor before using because of the herb stimulating gallbladder contraction effect.

Herbal Alfalfa as an Antioxidant
Alfalfa is a flowering plant
in the genus Medicago, belonging to the family Fabaceae, It has been
cultivated all over the world as hay for cattle feeding. The leaves,
sprouts, and seeds to make medicine has been used in traditional
medicine over thousands of year to treat high cholesterol, asthma,
osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, enhance digestive
system, bleeding disorder, kidney and urinary tract infection, etc.
North America aboriginal has used Alfalfa seed as food, such as making
bread and mush.
A free radical is any atom or molecule that has a single unpaired electron in an outer shell and highly reactive to react with other cell, which in turn, causes oxidative damage to the enzymes, other protein, unsaturated fatty acid, phospho-lipids, DNA and RNA, etc., leading to aging of the organisms, as a result of widespread damage due to set of a chain reaction auto-catalytically after attacking the lipid bilayers of the cell walls.
Ingredients
1. Essential amino acids
2. Calcium
3. Magnesium
4. Potassium
5. Iron
6. Phosphorus
7. Zinc
8. Beta carotene
9. vitamin C
10. vitamins D
11.Vitamin E
12. Vitamin K
13. Etc.
The Benefits
Carbon tetrachloride found in both ambient outdoor and indoor air has been proven to cause liver injure and induced oxidative stress. According to the study by Dr.Al-Dosari MS., the yophilized aqueous extract of alfalfa, or Medicago sativa L. possesses hepatoprotective and antioxidative stress properties possibly through its antioxidant phytochemical constituents and substantiates its use in various liver disorders as a hepatoprotector. Other searchers in the evaluation of the antioxidant activity of polysaccharides(Polymeric carbohydrate molecules composed of long chains of monosaccharide units bound together by glycosidic bonds) from alfalfa, indicated that the polysaccharides had good antioxidant effect, especially scavenging activity for hydroxyl radical and DPPH radical, which indicated that the polysaccharides from alfalfa may be explored as a novel natural antioxidant. In other case, dietary protein-xanthophylls (PX) concentrate of alfalfa to turkey diets (at 15 and 30 g kg(-1) feed) did not cause deterioration of breast and thigh meat quality, but changes in color, oxymyoglobin content, TBARS and oxidation-reduction potential values suggested that the inclusion of the concentrate to turkey diets acts as an antioxidant in the raw meat.
The Side effects
1. High amount of vitamin K may reduce the effectiveness of anticogulation medicine
2. Causing additive effects for women who are under estrogen replecement therapy or taking the oral contraceptive pill.
3. It may cause stomach upset and diarrhea

Aloe Vera and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Aloe
Vera is species of succulent plant in the genus Aloe, belonging to the
Family Xanthorrhoeaceae, native to Sudan. It has become very popular for
commercial cultivation due to its health benefits. Aloe vera has been
used in herbal medicine in treating many kinds of disease, including
wound, burn healing, minor skin infections, sebaceous cysts, diabetes,
and elevated of cholesterol, etc. It is also one of many popular herb
studied in scientific ways with some conflicted results.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is defined as endocrinologic diseases caused by undeveloped follicles clumping on the ovaries that interferes with the function of the normal ovaries as resulting of enlarged ovaries, leading to hormone imbalance( excessive androgen), resulting in male pattern hair development, acne,irregular period or absence of period, weight gain and effecting fertility. It effects over 5% of women population or 1 in 20 women. According to the study by Desai BN, Maharjan RH, Nampoothiri LP. almost 70% PCOS women have abnormal serum lipid levels (dyslipidemia) and 50% of these women are obese. Several classes of pharmacological agents have been used to manage dyslipidemia. However, studies have shown adverse effects associated with these drugs.
The Ingredients
The ten main areas of chemical constituents of Aloe vera include: amino acids, anthraquinones, enzymes, minerals, vitamins, lignins, monosaccharide, polysaccharides, salicylic acid, saponins, and sterols.They all work together in a synergistic way to create healing and health giving benefits, according to Gertrude Baldwin in the article of THE BENEFITS OF THE USE OF ALOE VERA IN HERBAL PREPARATIONS.
The Benefits
Aloe Vera may be a potential herb in treating Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome by enhancing the reductions of plasma triglyceride and LDL cholesterol levels, with an increase in HDL cholesterol or by restoring the ovarian steroid status. According to the study of PCOS was induced in Charles Foster female rats by oral administration of non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor letrozole (0.5 mg/kg body weight, 21 days), AVG treated PCOS rats exhibited significant reduction in plasma triglyceride and LDL cholesterol levels, with an increase in HDL cholesterol. The gel treatment also caused reversion of abnormal estrous cyclicity, glucose intolerance, and lipid metabolizing enzyme activities, bringing them to normal. Other study also indicated that Aloe vera gel formulation exerts a protective effect in against the PCOS phenotype by restoring the ovarian steroid status, and altering key steroidogenic activity. This can be attributed to phyto-components present in the extract.
Dr.Pérez YY and the research team in the study of Effect of a polyphenol-rich extract from Aloe vera gel on experimentally induced insulin resistance in mice also indicated that decreasing significantly both body weight (p < 0.008) and blood glucose levels of Aloe, calculated using the homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) formula by the polyphenol-rich extract from Aloe vera.
Also in the confirmation of above result, study of Aloe vera leaves on blood glucose level in type I and type II diabetic rat models, vera leaf pulp extract showed hypoglycaemic activity on IDDM and NIDDM rats, the effectiveness being enhanced for type II diabetes in comparison with glibenclamide. On the contrary, A. vera leaf gel extract showed hyperglycaemic activity on NIDDM rats. It may therefore be concluded that the pulps of Aloe vera leaves devoid of the gel could be useful in the treatment of non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. Where non-diabetic (ND), type I (IDDM) and type II (NIDDM) diabetic rats.
The Side effects
1. Hepatitis
Some researchers concerned that the over use of oral aloe vera may contribute to acute hepatitis, according to the study of "Oral aloe vera-induced hepatitis" by Bottenberg MM, Wall GC, Harvey RL, Habib S., posted in PubMed
2. Diarrhea, caused by the laxative effect of oral use of Aloe Vera
3. oral use of Aloe Vera may cause abdominal cramps and pain
4. It may cause of rheumatoid arthritis symptoms as a result of collagen in the plant, according to the study of "Oral type II collagen in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. A six-month double blind placebo-controlled study" by Cazzola M, Antivalle M, Sarzi-Puttini P, Dell'Acqua D, Panni B, Caruso I., posted in PubMed

Women and Insomnia
Insomnia is a sign and symptom
of sleep disorder and defined as a condition in which a person has a
difficulty falling asleep and/or staying asleep or sleep of poor
quality that can lead to substantial impairments in the quality of life
and functional capacity of an individual. Most adults have experienced
insomnia sometimes in their life. According to statistic, more than 30%
of the population suffers from insomnia, one in three people suffer from
some form of insomnia during their lifetime and women suffer from
insomnia more often than men.
Types of insomnia
1. Transient insomnia
The symptom is last less than a week, as a result from sleep environment changes, timing of sleep or caused by depression, stress or other factors.
2. Acute insomnia
Acute insomnia, a more common type of insomnia, is defined as a condition of difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep for a period of less than three months, one is acute insomnia.
3. Chronic insomnia
The symptom is last more than 3 months and can be caused by another disorder, such as emotional or psychological basis.
Diagnosis and tests
The purpose of the insomnia diagnosis is to determine the causes ( psychology , medicine, etc) of the diseases to provide a best possible treatment to the patient. In general, after recording the family history and a physical and mental exams
1. obstructive sleep apnea
The test is to determine the periodic reduction in or a complete stop of breathing during sleep. It can be performed in the doctor office or at the hospital.
2. Epworth Sleepiness Scale
A validated questionnaire to be answered by the patient and can be helpful in
assessing insomnia.
3. Etc.
Causes and Ricks factors of insomnia in women
There are many factors that can cause insomnia
1. Hormone change
Hormones produced by glands or organs during menstrual cycle, pregnancy or in the stage of menopause can affect the pattern of sleep.
a. Menstrual cycle
According to an article posted at reader digest version, health- menstrual insomnia by By Ellen Michaud with Julie Bain from Sleep to Be Sexy Smart and Slim showed that Premenstrual insomnia, as doctors call it, seems to be associated with a rapid drop in the hormone progesterone. “Progesterone is a soporific, a sedative-type drug that your body gives you every month when you ovulate,” says Dr. Lee.(researcher) “Then, just before your period, its production either slows to a trickle or falls dramatically.”
b. Menopause
According to the article of Menopause And Insomnia -- New Findings Link Estrogen Decline, Sleeplessness And Mineral Deficiency post on medical news today 15 May 2007 - 12:00 showed that women in the pre-menopause and menopause years are more and more finding themselves experiencing symptoms of chronic insomnia,.....Some of the above reactions occur nearly simultaneously whenever the level of estrogen falls. as a result of gradual drop in estrogen but severe drop in progesterone.
c. Pregnancy
The hormonal change during pregnancy may also affect the sleep pattern in some women, causing insomnia. According to a study of 189 women completed the surveys provided by the researchers at Northwestern studying insomnia and pregnancy, researchers found that pregnancy insomnia could also be caused by inadequate nutrient intake, particularly in the later stages as more nutrients are being directed to the developing fetus. For example, blood levels of the omega-3 fatty acid Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) become much lower during the third trimester.
DHA is necessary for normal brain function. Low DHA levels have been associated with depression. That could be the connection between increased insomnia during pregnancy. The brain receptors responsible for regulating sleep are the same as those responsible for regulating mood. Both insomnia and pregnancy can affect the mood as a result of the effects of sleep deprivation and hormonal changes.
2. Disorder causes of insomnia
Women who has been affected by anxiety disorders or the delayed sleep phase disorder may experience the symptom of insomnia.
3. Frequent nighttime urination
Frequent nighttime urination can cause sleep disturbance, if the disorder persists for the prolonged period of time can lead to insomnia.
4. Depression and Anxiety
Women who have been affected by depression and anxiety are at high risk of developing insomnia.
5. Stimulants
Stimulants can cause nervous tension that can lead to insomnia.

Causes and Ricks factors of insomnia in women
There are many factors that can cause insomnia
1. Hormone change
Hormones produced by glands or organs during menstrual cycle, pregnancy or in the stage of menopause can affect the pattern of sleep.
a. Menstrual cycle
According to an article posted at reader digest version, health- menstrual insomnia by By Ellen Michaud with Julie Bain from Sleep to Be Sexy Smart and Slim showed that Premenstrual insomnia, as doctors call it, seems to be associated with a rapid drop in the hormone progesterone. “Progesterone is a soporific, a sedative-type drug that your body gives you every month when you ovulate,” says Dr. Lee.(researcher) “Then, just before your period, its production either slows to a trickle or falls dramatically.”
b. Menopause
According to the article of Menopause And Insomnia -- New Findings Link Estrogen Decline, Sleeplessness And Mineral Deficiency post on medical news today 15 May 2007 - 12:00 showed that women in the pre-menopause and menopause years are more and more finding themselves experiencing symptoms of chronic insomnia,.....Some of the above reactions occur nearly simultaneously whenever the level of estrogen falls. as a result of gradual drop in estrogen but severe drop in progesterone.
c. Pregnancy
The hormonal change during pregnancy may also affect the sleep pattern in some women, causing insomnia. According to a study of 189 women completed the surveys provided by the researchers at Northwestern studying insomnia and pregnancy, researchers found that pregnancy insomnia could also be caused by inadequate nutrient intake, particularly in the later stages as more nutrients are being directed to the developing fetus. For example, blood levels of the omega-3 fatty acid Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) become much lower during the third trimester.
DHA is necessary for normal brain function. Low DHA levels have been associated with depression. That could be the connection between increased insomnia during pregnancy. The brain receptors responsible for regulating sleep are the same as those responsible for regulating mood. Both insomnia and pregnancy can affect the mood as a result of the effects of sleep deprivation and hormonal changes.
