‘Desperate Housewives’ syndrome hits Ireland

A growing number of Irish women are suffering from a condition dubbed Desperate Housewives syndrome as it sparks eating disorders in females under pressure to remain slim in their 40s.

Celebrities like J-Lo, Eva Longoria and Elle McPherson are defying nature by looking hotter than woman half their age as they hit middle age.

Madonna is the ultimate poster girl for keeping aging at bay with a wrinkle-free face and a taut, toned figure from hours in the gym and a strict macrobiotic diet.
