But while sexual wellness is the ideal, getting in the mood isn’t always easy. Sexual desire is something that naturally decreases for women as they approach menopause and estrogen levels decline: 68 to 86.5% of postmenopausal women1 report sexual difficulties like low libido. Surprisingly, other studies show that younger women are also struggling with sexual desire: 48% of premenopausal women, ages 21 to 49, have reported a lower sex drive than usual....

But tea also contains compounds called tannins—and there’s a lot of confusion about what that means for you and your health. You may have heard that tannins in tea are good for you, or you may have been told that it’s a better idea to stay away from them. So, what’s the deal?

When we eat sugar, including foods that turn to sugar (like carbohydrates), insulin is released to balance blood sugar by managing where and how glucose is stored in the body. This hormonal response is wonderful for managing the occasional natural sugar or complex carb, but when faced with a diet high in these foods (like the standard American diet), the body is forced to overproduce insulin in an effort to keep blood sugar balanced....

But if you have sensitive eyes, wear contacts, or just generally have easily irritated skin around the eye area, mascara comes with a challenge: Some find the product to irritate the delicate skin, cause irritation, itching, and more. Much like you can enter the skin care aisle looking for a plethora of sensitive-skin-approved tonics and formulas, makeup has come a long way in offering options for those with finicky skin.
