Primrose oil is a terrific health tonic that can be found at almost any health food store or online vitamin market.  Primrose oil has a long history of use and is considered very safe, although it should only be used with caution during pregnancy.

Even if 40 is the new 20 (how can that be?), there are certain unwanted things that come with age. Gray hair, wrinkles, and weight gain. Typically, around age 40, many people start to gain weight. There are many reasons for this, but the main culprit is hormones.

An interesting new study has found a link between migraines and breast cancer. Women who suffer from migraines are at a lower risk of getting breast cancer in their life time. This is the first study of this kind. The study examines the hormonal link between extreme migraines (which are associated with vomiting, extreme pain, sensitivity to light, and nausea) and breast cancer in women of all ages.

The study found that women who suffer from extreme migraines have a 30% less risk of getting breast cancer. As there are many different types of breast cancer, the study concluded that those who had a history of migraines were at a lower risk for the most common types of breast cancer which are driven by hormones such as estrogen receptor-positive and progesterone receptor-positive cancers.
