The causes of obesity

Obesity is caused by unhealthy eating combined with sustained lack of activity. If food gives you more calories than you burn, your body turns on the storage program and puts on fat. This is the basic idea behind obesity.

Disorderly eating habits are the top reason why people becaome obese. With neither the time, nor the inclination to control one抯 meals, it抯 no wonder people get fat all over the world. Couple that with a sedentary lifestyle where most trips are taken by car and you got a health situation out of control.

Genetics: Obesity can also be inherited from family members who suffered from it. If your family has a history of obesity, then you would do well to watch your weight.

Junk food: We are all busy, but this does not mean that we have to eat everything fast food restaurants put before you. Burgers may look good, but they are fat too highly powered got your health. Thing is, a single burger is worth a whole meal, but your body does not judge the situation this way. Your stomach will never be filled by a regular burger, so it will keep asking for more, despite the fact that your body does not need more burgers.

Do you feel like giving up?
Many people try diets and manage to lose a few pounds. But returning to the old lifestyle and eating habits almost always means that weight lost turns into weight regained. Moreover, as diet follows diet, the body gets used to these 搇ean times?and makes it harder for you to lose weight.

To all this you may add that following a diet for a longer period of time is hard, because you will always crave the forbidden foods. The fact that certain delicious foods are forbidden makes them that much more attractive. A successful diet means adjusting your lifestyle to your needs, especially by making time for more exercising.

Obesity ?a review

Most people think that obesity goes no deeper than a less than fashionable look, but they are wrong. Obesity today is an epidemic, a disease spreading fast across both the industrialized world and emerging economies.

Obesity means having too much fat on your body. First and foremost, obesity puts a strain on joints and bones that have to sustain more weight than before, which leads to arthritis in the long run. The weight also tends to make people less active, which, in turn, means more weight is put on.

The lack of activity and high cholesterol brought by eating too much of the wrong kind of food impair the proper functioning of your heart and blood vessels. This results in high blood pressure, stroke and other blood and heart conditions. Excess weight also leads to apnea, the cessation of breathing during sleep.

However, obesity can be cured with patience and effort. As this diseases spreads over the land, so do the efforts for curing it increase. Talk to your physician if you are interested in getting rid of obesity.

Recognizing obesity?

The textbook definition of obesity is a body mass index of 30 or above. The body mass index is a measure of a person抯 weight scaled according to height, as developed by Belgian scientist Adolphe Quetelet in 1840. This index serves to show the amount of fat stored on the body, and the higher your BMI is, the worst is your exposure to certain diseases.

Physicians also warm that having a lot of fat stored around your waist increases the risk of developing diseases. Going beyond size 35 in women and size 40 in men means only trouble in the future.

How Different Cultures Handle Losing Their Virginity

Virginity has become an obsolete concept in modern Western society, allowing young women to experiment with their sexuality while their male counterparts are doing the same. This actually results in a healthier more well-adjusted sexual identity later in life. However, virginity has not totally left the modern scene. Many cultures are still upholding the value of virginity or pre-marital chastity, mainly on the basis of predominant religious concepts.

The most popular advocate of virginity is the Catholic Church. Its most obvious validation for this stand is the teaching that all young girls are the Virgin Mary’s daughters. As such, and having presented Mary as the most pristine and chaste of all women, young Catholic girls are therefore forced to follow her lead throughout their lives. Of course, sex is not prohibited once the woman has entered into the sacrament of marriage. However, while married women are viewed with respect and approval, women who remain virgins all their lives are considered as consecrated. Thus, the latter still achieves a higher status in the Catholic community. Aside from using the Virgin Mary, the Catholic Church has also employed countless symbolisms in order to justify the importance of virginity. Canonizing St. Maria Goretti, who died while trying to fight off a rapist, presents such a symbolism.

While the Catholic Church in ancient times did impose cruel punishments on women who become unchaste out of wedlock, modern ideologies have already diminished such harmful practices. However, while Catholic girls may have been spared such pain and humiliation, those from other cultures have to contend with much graver consequences. One such culture is present in Hindu countries. Chastity is a crucial virtue for all Hindu women, not only before they get married, but also after the latter’s termination, usually upon the husband’s death. Thus, if the husband dies, the widow, who is no longer a virgin, is not suited to wed someone else. Furthermore, her existence becomes not only superfluous, but abhorrent as well. Thus, the ancient practice called Sati was performed. This custom usually prescribes that during the husband’s cremation, the wife shall fling herself into the flames. In so doing, she cements her faith and honor as a wife. A modified version of such practice is called
  the Jauhar or Jouhar. This custom is performed on a larger scale, likewise prescribing that the wives kill themselves, but this time, with their husband’s imminent death in mind.

These heinous practices are now outlawed in India, but some fundamentalists still press for a reversion to these traditions. Nevertheless, premarital chastity is still a highly treasured virtue in Hinduism today. The same statement holds true for Islamic cultures. Muslim brides must remain chaste until the night of their wedding. According to Islamic teachings, Allah created the hymen because it serves the function of determining the validity of intercourse, in which women may engage after marriage. The hymen is present in order to make it clear to women that sexual relations outside the marriage bond are perversions of a holy act and are considered unclean. Islam prizes the body’s cleanliness above most things, and should, thus, be protected and upheld.

Unlike the modern Western culture, those discussed above maintain the importance of virginity before marriage. However, the decision of whether or not virginity is important depends essentially on personal choice. After all, a woman must be free to choose, without fear or coercion, what she can or cannot do to her own body.

History Of Polygamy

Marriage has essentially been viewed as a social phenomenon. As such, it is not necessary for the more basic act of procreation to take place. Because of this fact, discussions regarding marriage have always centered on the legal, cultural and religious significance of the ceremony itself and all that it entails. The types of marriages, like monogamous and polygamous marriages, exist only to fulfill certain social or religious obligations imposed upon a person by forces other than natural.

Christianity is the biggest opponent of polygamy in today’s society. It may be noted, however, that the bible itself, which forms the basis for Christian faith, described some patriarchs as having polygamous marriages, like Moses (Numbers 12:1) and Abraham (Genesis 16:1, Genesis 16:3 and Genesis 25:1). These early cases of polygamy were explained by Saint Augustine in The Good of Marriage as having been rooted in the ancient times’ necessity to procreate. Therefore, at present, since that necessity no longer exists, the Catholic Church has declared polygamy as unlawful. While some Protestant faiths, during the period of “Protestant Reformation,” temporarily sanctioned the practice of polygamy on the basis of some of the biblical provisions, others publicly denounced it. Consequently, protestant Christians later on decided to abandon polygamy altogether.

The above stated fact, however, cannot be applied to the Church of the Latter Day Saints, or more popularly, the Mormon Church. The Mormons, rather than merely allowing the occurrence of polygamous marriages, have openly educated their members about this ideal and announced their subscription to it publicly. The Church’s founder, Joseph Smith, Jr., founded their doctrine of polygamy on the biblical reference stated in the previous paragraph. They openly practiced polygamy from 1852 until 1890. Before the latter date, however, when the church began to be subjected to a heavier political and legal pressure, the Mormons declared the practice unlawful, with the members who continued its practice suffering excommunication. The church members who refused to adhere to the new trend fled to friendlier territories such as Canada and set up more fundamentalist churches there.

Today, polygamy, or plural marriages, is a practice upon which, a substantial part of the world has expressed its formal scorn. It is now widely accepted by most political and legal systems that polygamy fails to meet the common moral and legal standards necessary to maintain world and societal order. This new ideal is probably the result of two major factors, namely, the spread of Christianity and the more pragmatic considerations of multiple divorces and property settlement of spouses. The latter factor merely concerns the inconveniences and conflicts attendant to having several wives or husbands, each vying for a piece of property upon the common spouse’s death or divorce. Likewise repulsive is the instability that may result in the matters of the wives’ and children’s status in society. It is, after all, a generally accepted principle that a person’s status should not be subjected to needless uncertainty. The spread of Christianity or religious evolution in general, is a  much more complex factor that may have affected the world view on polygamy.

Alternative Ways to Relieve PMS

A growing number of women suffering from premenstrual syndrome or PMS are seeking help from both conventional and alternative health practitioners. Studies show that women who opted for alternative therapies usually found them to be effective. As such, the medical community should be accustomed with the efficiency of innumerable evidence-based natural interventions.

A recently conducted survey indicates that 42% of women suffering from PMS take prescription or over-the-counter medications to mitigate their symptoms. In this group, about 80% were using OTC medication, mostly to control pain.

For years, traditional medicine had provided suggestive treatments for PMS that does not always work. Most doctors are unaware of the latest research on hormone balancing while others never had any training in PMS. Alleviating bloating with diuretics, headaches with painkillers, and anxiety with Valium only mask the underlying imbalance that cause PMS. A lot of these prescribed treatments often have side effects.

Although a safe and guaranteed cure for PMS is yet to be discovered, there is a number of lifestyle and alternative therapies that can reduce symptoms and possibly even improve your quality of life. On the other hand, psychotherapy can provide insight about stress.  However, it sidesteps the nutritional and biochemical aspects of this disorder.

Exercise is the best self-care method that you can be employ in dealing with PMS symptoms. It does not necessarily mean a strenuous and sweaty afternoon at the gym; it may be something simple like walking regularly. On the average, regular exercise is considered to be done at least three to five times a week.

Adopting specific dietary modifications could also be beneficial in alleviating symptoms. Review your dietary needs and eliminate caffeine, sugar, alcohol, dairy, and excess soy. While you’re shunning “bad foods,” it is important to get plenty of the “good” vitamins and minerals that your body needs. Try nurturing a diet of fresh, in-season, organic fruits and vegetables.

Aside from exercise and dietary measures, some alternative therapies might also be helpful. Reducing stress by trying several relaxation methods such as relaxation exercises, roll breathing, yoga, and massage therapy might proved to be advantageous.

Another widely used therapy for PMS includes bright light therapy. Some studies suggest that getting more natural or full-spectrum light on days when PMS symptoms are present may help reduce severity of symptoms.

There is emerging evidence that suggests PMS sufferers may reduce their dependence upon synthetic drugs by undergoing chiropractic or acupuncture treatments heightened. Several small clinical studies have verified that the combination of chiropractic manipulation and soft tissue therapy is an effective intervention in the management of various PMS symptoms, particularly with the relief of associated back pain, abdominal cramping and dysmenorrhea.

Though most of the therapies mentioned are not considered standard treatment for PMS, some of them might be helpful in relieving some symptoms. But most importantly, these treatments are safe and well-tolerated.

Fast or slow?

To each her own; and that applies to what a woman wants in bed — either a fast fuck or the slow, smooth kind. However, it seems that most women prefer the sensual approach rather than the pound-pound-pounding away.

A slow, smooth approach will enable you and your partner to employ your senses and experience all the bliss related to the sexual experience. Feel her soft skin, see her lovely face, hear her moans, taste her mouth, and smell the scent of her body.

True, most films favor and highlight the fast and hard fucking. But that’s just on film, silly! That’s the way it’s supposed to look — quickly and vigorously. How else can they sustain your interest if they otherwise took the slow road? It’d be rather boring, wouldn’t it? So, in order to get that wild and exciting impression, the porn stars are instructed to take the fast road. That’s why men have created the illusion that this is just the way it is supposed to be done. Well, sorry to disappoint.

Besides there are advantages to the slow approach. One is that you get to explore her body more. It’s not just her breasts and her twat that matters. Have you tried licking her ears, touching her nape or the back of her knees, or massaging her foot? Well, you should. These are highly erogenous areas of the woman’s body’ and it’d just be too selfish of you if you don’t provide her the pleasure.

Women are turned on with kissing, caressing, licking (slurping even). It just sends her to the edge as you masterfully rein her back. This only makes her even hornier! She’ll want you more and more if you tease her; building up the aching need inside her. Don’t you just love hearing her moan and feel the tingling down her spine?

Build up her longing with romantic nuances like flickering candles, rose petals, fresh sheets, sweet music, kinky underwear or sex toy. This whole romantic package is important for her, so don’t you try to shortchange her. Try out various foreplay techniques first before taking the slow plunge. Intense and increased desire only makes way for numerous orgasms.

A slow approach also conserves your energy for that surging crescendo. If you thrust harder and deeper, you are in a rush to get there. You’re only forcing it; and it’s not as satisfying as it should have been otherwise. It could also give your honey a stiff neck or sore back, for that matter. Several seconds of frenzy rewarded by a quick orgasm is rather limiting. Why not extend your pleasure even more?

Learn how to control your urges. Build up her longing with slow, deliberate thrusts, pausing curtly, and constricting your inner muscles. Touching fosters a stronger connection; the more you are familiar with each other’s bodies, the more intimate your sexual encounters would be.

Every sexual experience means so much for a woman. So, try to approach your love-making with sincerity, confidence, and respect. You can show her this by making her feel special and by considering her needs. She may not say it out loud, but she needs more than a steely pecker inside her. She needs more than that, and you should know better.

The Sperm Cell: An Overview

You may pretty much have an idea where babies come from. (No, they’re not from the stork!) To put it bluntly, you need a sperm cell and egg cell to make a baby. During sexual intercourse, a man’s sperm, which is produced by the testes (testicles), is released into a woman’s cervix, which “swims” to the fallopian tube. From the millions of sperm cells, one penetrates the egg in a process called fertilization. From there, a single life begins.

But where does the sperm come from? There are millions of sperm produced by your testes (testicles) everyday. Sperm cells undergo the natural cell division which inevitably leads to its maturation. Half of the sperm carries a Y chromosome (inherited from your dad) and an X chromosome (inherited from your mom). If a Y-carrying sperm fertilizes the woman’s egg, the result is a baby girl. If on the other hand, it’s the X-carrying sperm which fertilized the egg, then it’s a baby boy.

During ejaculation, sperm is pumped into the man’s vas deferens where fructose, seminal fluids, and other chemicals are secreted. Your sperm plus other seminal fluids (semen) hurries past the bladder through the urethra and out of your penis.

In order for the sperm to enter the woman’s cervix, you need to experience erection, orgasm, and ejaculation. An erection takes place when your penis is stimulated or when you have an erotic thought. There is a sudden rush of blood to the erectile tissue chambers in the penis. This, in turn, engorges the penis making it hardened, enlarged and elevated.

With continued stimulation, orgasm and ejaculation ensues. Orgasm, known as the sexual climax, is a pleasurable emotional or psychological response that accompanies ejaculation. There are two stages of orgasm: the first one, called the ejaculatory inevitability, takes place two to four seconds before ejaculation. During these crucial seconds, you may be aware that you are about to “come,” and you could not do anything to control it. Your seminal vesicles and your prostrate gland begin to throb. The second stage of orgasm takes place when you involuntarily ejaculate semen in convulsive surges. On average, one teaspoon (2-15 milliliters) of semen is ejaculated containing of 40 to 150 million sperm! The “first squirt” typically contains the largest amount of sperm.

Afterwards, you go through a recovery period where you cannot experience another orgasm. This may last several minutes and sometimes for hours.

Cumming too fast?

Do you reach orgasm faster than you can say, “Fuck”? Many men dread this situation, and with good reason. Cumming too early or too fast robs you and your partner of the pleasure that sexual intercourse can give. This is believed to be the most common sexual complaint of couples. About 29 percent of men are reportedly bothered by these episodes.

There are many reasons why a man “cums” too fast. Biologically, men experience climax much earlier than women. They do so 2-3 minutes after penetration, in contrast to women who take their time (about 12-14 minutes). Likewise, there are also psychological factors that bring about early ejaculation. These include guilt, anxiety (lack of experience), or fear of sexually transmitted infections, potential pregnancy, etc. Older men are also known to be able to control their ejaculation as compared with their younger counterparts. They credit it to their experience.

So, how can you control yourself from ejaculating too quickly? One way is to exercise your PC (pubococcygeus) muscle, which is the primary “sexual muscle” that forms part of the pelvis. The PC muscle is largely involved with sexual functions such as ejaculation and orgasm. With regular exercise, this muscle can provide firmer and larger erections, powerful ejaculations and more intense climaxes.

So where is this muscle located? Try stopping the flow of your urine midway. The PC muscle, located between the anus and scrotum, is the one you contracts when you try to stop the flow of your urine.

How to go about exercising your PC muscles? Try clenching and releasing your PC muscle in ten-second periods. Perform three sets of this. Take a breather. Now, try the clench-and-release technique for five seconds. Perform ten sets of this. This time, try tightening the muscle for 30 seconds and relaxing for 30 seconds. Perform three sets of this.

This exercise is rather simple and easy to perform. You can do it by yourself — just about anytime and anywhere. You don’t need any device or contraption to exercise your PC muscle. But, like all exercise regimens, you need to commit to a routine devotedly. Famous porn stars, with explosive cumshots, are even rumored to perform these exercises faithfully.

So next time you and your partner are making love, try to go inside her and pause for awhile. Don’t move for several seconds; then try tightening and relaxing your PC muscle.

You also have to keep in mind that different women also prefer different types of sex. Some prefer the long and sensual approach; while others favor the pound-pound-pound approach. It’s always better to know your partner’s preference so that you can both enjoy an intimate sexual fun.

Women and Hot Flashes

You suddenly feel a burning feeling on the face and the upper body, probably with a lightning-fast heartbeat, nausea, vertigo, headache and other irritating symptoms. You are experiencing what is commonly known as a “hot flash.” What infernal reason is behind this? Hot flashes are a woman’s biological process caused by the hormonal dictates of menopause. Principally that is, but it can also be brought about by particular medications and the styles/manner of living.

Technically, menopause is a biological operation and not a deficiency state in estrogen. It happens at age fifty on the average. Specifically though, a lowered level of estrogen directly impacts on the hypothalamus. The latter is that part of one’s body that controls sleep cycles, sex hormones and temperature. The lowering of estrogen disconcerts the hypothalamus - and what it reads is “too hot.” The brain reacts by announcing an all-out order to the heart, nervous system and the blood vessels: “eliminate that heat.” End result is that the heart beats quicker, blood vessels dilate and the sweat glands excrete. The unfortunate consequences would be: the body cools down when factors dictate that it should not, thus, one is soaking wet in the middle of a sales presentation. Not only is it highly uncomfortable, it is embarrassing.

This is in fact normal; 85% of women in the US have this as they come near menopause. Twenty to fifty percent continue to have them for a longer period of time. Thus, intensity decreases over time. There are significant differences in terms of onset, frequency, duration and the nature of these flashes. It may last for just a few minutes but it could take more than an hour for one to completely normalize. The most ordinary time of onset is from 6 to 8 a.m. and also between 6 to 10 p.m.

Do not despair, if one can really make a conscientious effort of avoiding the triggers, it would be a significant victory. It would be a major first step in winning at least a battle. Hot flash is triggered by the following: alcohol, caffeine, diet pills, spicy food, hot food, hot tubs, smoking, hot weather and still some others. Here are some survival tips: dress in layers and avoid turtleneck shirts.  Where possible, lower the thermostat, get a larger bed if you and your partner are on different heat modes but still want to be close to each other, take a shower before crashing, arrive at meetings and functions early so that you can take a pick of your seat, and try tylenol.

Regarding the treatment of hot flashes, Chinese medicine has a well-respected reputation. The Chinese have descriptions for all kinds. They involve: acupuncture and herbology. The latter means that different kinds of herbs are mixed to make a particular tea suited to alleviate one’s specific symptoms.

One of Mayo clinic’s doctors, Dr. Loprinzi, has studied that antidepressants also play an important role in treatment. Low-dose may assist in delaying a hot flash. Effexor (venlafaxine) can cut down the frequency of hot flashes by about half, this in close to sixty percent of women with breast cancer.
