Women need to organize themselves into support groups to tide over crises
Women need to organize themselves into support groups to tide over crises

Caring for an ageing family member and dealing with rising health costs top the list of worries for a majority of women between the age of 35 and 54, found a recent survey of 1100 women who considered themselves "less than happy".
But there's good news: If you are a caregiver, reaching out for help can actually boost your mental health. According to a New York University study, caregivers who attend support groups relieve some of the stress caused by looking after an ageing relative.
Reaching out
Protect your heart the fun way: Savor your Saturdays and Sundays. Relax, unwind,

and forget about work. Finnish researchers asked 788 workers about their ability to relax on the weekend and then tracked them for 28 years. Those who said they seldom or rarely felt renewed, alert and ready to head back to work by Monday morning were about three times more likely to die of heart disease or stroke.
Chill out on the weekend
If you're having trouble unwinding make it a priority to get some time for yourself. And consider talking to your boss about shifting some of your workload or allowing you to have an alternate schedule. It takes courage, but if you do this, you'll perform much better, both at home and at the workplace
Sneezing? It May Be Your Houseplants
The allergens could be here

Women need to organize themselves into support groups to tide over crises. The innocent looking focus could bring tears to your eyes. More than 75% of hay fever sufferers are allergic to at least one common houseplant, shows a recent Belgian study. Allergens in plant sap can diffuse into the air and set off your sniffling. Though any potted green can be trouble, some seem to be more irritating than others.
What The Ratings Mean
Each nose indicates a 2% increase in the likelihood that hay fever sufferers will react.
