Obstetrician and Gynecologist, Dr. Lisa Masterson, debunks panty myths with helpful, healthful advice!

What Should Women Wear to Workout?
I don’t think you should wear a thong when you exercise. You sweat down there too, and the moisture is going into your vagina with nowhere to breathe. Women often also put on a pair of spandex, and then there is nothing breathing! Choose cotton or cotton blends to minimize sweating and maximize airflow. After you workout and shower, you should NOT put the same pair of underwear back on. Put on a fresh pair.

Jessica Weiner, motivational speaker and author of, “Do I Look Fat In This?” offers advice for helping a friend who may suffer with an eating disorder. The best way to help is to realize that eating disorders are not about food, fat or weight. They are about emotions, experiences, and feelings. Deep feelings. Intense emotions. And many of those feelings and emotions may not make sense to an outsider - so it is important to practice compassion and ACTION.

Eating disorders are a SERIOUS mental health issue that can be treated. You have to look for warning signs:

IS POMEGRANATE JUICE GOOD OR BAD FOR YOU?
We don’t get enough antioxidants in our diet (they keep our skin young) and pomegranate juice is a delicious, easy way to bring the antioxidants back. The problem is that traditional pomegranate juice is very high in calories. It has up to 300 calories and 40 grams of sugar per serving.

Jorge’s Pick: Red Lightning Power Drink because all you have to do is add 8oz of water and you have the same power-packed antioxidants that are in pomegranate juice but with only 22 calories and 1 gram of sugar!

Jorge Cruise, nutritionist and author of the “3 Hour Diet,” says every woman needs to know the following tips for healthier living.

Snacking Is Healthy
To keep your metabolism active and to prevent your starvation protection system from turning on, you’ve got to keep eating throughout the day. That’s right: you should eat snacks! Hunger is a powerful force and you need to pay close attention to your hunger cues throughout the day. The longer you go without eating, the more your willpower will weaken and you’ll be more likely to binge on whatever you can get your hands on later. To keep these hunger cues at bay, eat your first snack three hours after breakfast and the second one three hours after lunch. This will help keep your blood sugar and insulin levels steady. Snacks also provide a chance for you to indulge a little. As long as you hold yourself to a 100-calorie serving, you can’t go wrong. Nuts and seeds make for a filling protein-packed snack. For about 100 calories you can have: about 30 pistachio nuts, 12 almonds, or 10 peanuts. Remember to buy your nuts with their shells still on; that way it will take you longer to eat them, making you less inclined to eat too many. If it’s cookies you crave, go for two 2-inch chocolate chip cookies, two Fig Newtons, two graham cracker squares, or two 2-inch ginger snaps. Be careful about portion sizes when it comes to cookies bought at bakeries because, not only are they generally huge in circumference, but they are often thicker than a normal cookie. Have one-third of a large cookie and save the rest or share it with a buddy. Other smart snack ideas that will fuel you with energy are: a stick of string cheese, a hard-boiled egg, air-popped popcorn, or raw vegetables.

• Healthy Gums: pink gums should blanch when you press on them and immediately return to pink when you release. To ensure healthier gums, brush twice a day and floss after meals. For bleeding gums, coat your floss with baking soda. The baking soda releases oxygen, killing the bacteria under the gums that cause the bleeding.
