Cancer-Causers to Remove From Your Home

Here in the 21st century we live in a world where the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat can be carcinogenic (i.e. cancer-causing). It seems that if we are to lead normal lives and not head for the mountain tops, we will inevitably be exposed to some of these substances while going about our business.

And while we can work to make the air, water and food we consume cleaner and healthier, there are limits to what we can do to remove these carcinogens from our environment.

Something that is firmly under our control, however, is the presence of cancer-causing substances in our homes. I have taken steps to remove as many of these kinds of things from my home environment, and so should you – at least you will know that your home surroundings are free from common carcinogens.

Your utility shelves are dangerous.

The typical garage or laundry room has a large metal utility shelf unit where all the miscellaneous necessities of life tend to congregate. Knowing what we now know about carcinogens, it is quite likely that these storage units are chock full of cancer-causing substances.

Automotive fluids and cleaners are common culprits containing all the toxic chemicals that household cleaners contain and much more. Pet supplies such as shampoos, treatments for fleas and ticks, and anything else you use to keep Fido clean and smelling fresh are generally not good for him, or for you.

All those cans of paint, varnish, brush cleaners and brushes that have accumulated should be gotten rid of – toxins abound in those cans. If you have a garden or just a yard, chances are that you have insecticides, herbicides, and other supplies that are extremely unhealthy for humans and animals, causing cancer and other maladies.

There are green, safe, and effective substitutes for all of these dangerous products, so take some time and do your homework to make your home safer for all its inhabitants.

Of course there are other cancer causers to remove from your home, and you should seek them out wherever they may be lurking. Many common art and office supplies, for example, are full of toxic carcinogens. Again, look for products that do the job in an environmentally friendly way, and you’ll be able to say with confidence that your own home at least is free of the stuff. Now if we could just do the same with the world outside the house…

Air fresheners: 

Often contain napthelene and formaldehyde. Try zeolite or natural fragrances from essential oils

Carpet and upholstery shampoos: 

Use only wet-clean, natural ingredients. For DIY carpet cleaning

Basic household cleaners should be homeless.

Look under your kitchen sink or on your utility shelf, and you’ll probably see what I’m talking about here. All the media-promoted items lining the supermarket shelves, the stuff my mother and your mother used to clean the house and its contents, is full of toxic cancer-causing chemicals. Powders, sprays, liquids, pastes and creams, most of the common arsenal should be thrown out and never allowed back in the house.

If you regularly clean your own carpets, rugs and upholstery, commonly used products for these tasks are also likely to be dangerous. Clean out your stashes of these products, look for green cleaners that do just as good a job, and breathe easier.

Dry-cleaning:

 Choose clothes that don’t need perchlorethylene to clean them. Ask for the wet-cleaning option at you local cleaners, or seek dry-cleaners that use liquid C02 or citrus juice cleaners.

Good smells can be hazardous to your health.

Air fresheners are a ubiquitous and heavily-promoted part of modern life. And products are sold not just to freshen the air in the bathroom or kitchen, but to make your furniture, closets, clothing and carpets smell better. Many of these contain carcinogens and should be avoided. Candles seem innocent enough, but are made with petroleum bases, and are proven cancer-causers. Look for products with natural oils, pure beeswax candles, and for organic, naturally made incense if you want to make your home environment smell better safely.

Candles: 

Avoid artificially scented paraffin candles that produce combustion by-products, including soot. Beeswax only, with cotton wicks. 

Automotive supplies:

 Most are toxic. Keep them safely away from the house and dispose of at a hazardous waste disposal center.

Paints and varnishes: 

Always chose low- or no-VOC finishes.

Microwaves:

 Never microwave or heat food in a plastic container.

Physical Symptoms of Depression

There are obvious signs of depression, like feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and anxiety–but depression can also cause unexplained physical symptoms. Physical pain and depression are closely related. Simply put, pain can be depressing, and depression causes and intensifies pain. Some research shows that pain and depression share common pathways in the limbic (emotional) region of the brain. In fact, the same chemical messengers control pain and mood. According to an article published by the Harvard Medical School, people with chronic pain have three times the average risk of developing psychiatric symptoms–usually mood or anxiety disorders–and depressed patients have three times the average risk of developing chronic pain.

Many people suffering from depression never get help because they don’t realize that pain may be a symptom of depression. The importance of understanding the physical symptoms of depression is that treating depression can help with the pain–and treating pain can help with depression.

The 10 most common physical symptoms of depression are:

Headaches: 

Most people get headaches every now and then but a persistent thumping headache or a migraine is a very common sign that you might be depressed. Even if you are already prone to headaches, a depressive episode can make it worse.

Digestive problems:

 Remember being a kid and feeling sick in your stomach before an exam or when you felt you were in trouble? It can still happen now, when you’re depressed. Vomiting, nausea and diarrhea can all be present. Other digestive problems such as stomach ulcers and irritable bowel syndrome might become worse.

Mysterious aches and pains: 

There is a strong link between depression and physical aches and pains. This may be down to a combination of factors such as not sleeping too well, not eating right, not getting proper nutrition and a higher presence of cortisol, the stress hormone.

Tiredness: 

If you have depression, tiredness, exhaustion and fatigue are probably a part of your daily experience. You may feel lethargic and generally just drained of energy. Or indeed, you may feel the opposite and feel...

Excessive energy: 

It’s very possible that rather than feeling drained, you feel a very restless energy which makes it difficult for you sit down or relax or stay in one place for very long. This is a surprisingly common physical symptom of depression. You may feel the constant need to do something and keep yourself busy as much as possible.

Chest pains: 

Chest pains should always be taken seriously. Stabbing pains or a tightness in the chest is very common in depressed people whose stress levels are much higher than normal.

Back pains:

 Depression and back pain is a bit of a chicken or the egg scenario. Back pain is a common symptoms of depression but people with chronic back pain are also 4 times more likely to end up suffering from depression than those who don’t.

Changes in the menstrual cycle: 

This is a very common physical symptoms of depression in women. Periods tend to become irregular or can be heavier or lighter than before and its not uncommon for them to stop completely for a while. If this has happened to you and you are sure there is no other reason for it such as pregnancy, you might want to see a doctor about it. Once your depression is gone, your cycle should return to normal.

Weight loss or gain: 

Depression causes a change of appetite in many people. Some lose their appetite completely while others take refuge in comfort foods. A corresponding noticeable weight loss or gain results from this, along with other problems caused by bad nutrition such as dull hair, bad skin and weak nails.

Changes in speech patterns: 

This one is often overlooked but still a common physical symptom of depression. It might not be so obvious to you if you’re feeling depressed but you may notice it in others who are. Their speech tends to be either very slow and spoken in a very low voice you need to strain to hear or they might talk at top speed, each word tripping over the other. Whether the speech is fast or slow should be compared to the person’s normal speech patterns.

As well as visiting a professional if you notice any of the above, there’s also a wide range of natural products you can take to help relieve the physical symptoms of depression. Again, you should talk to a professional before trying any of them. The good news is once your depression fades, any of these physical problems should disappear along with it.

Things every guy is afraid to do in front of his Woman

The gleam in your eyes can’t be ignored when your girl makes a claim, ‘I know you more than you’. But then, there is also an underlying grin to that gleam.

‘Really’- that’s what you say to yourself. Well, sure your girl doesn’t know it all. And she doesn’t know it all because you don’t show it all. Every man has his own secrets he would never let a woman know. There are things a man is afraid of caught doing by his woman:

Cry

No man seriously would want to cry in front of a woman, for whatever reason. Not because crying makes him look like the most ugly thing on the world, or because the sound he makes while crying is simply not bearable but because crying really degrades a man. More so when a woman is around! Do not even think about it! look at the guy!

Show they are broke!

There is no argument about this, at least he will concoct a reason why his wallet is empty. Now with mobile money and ATM cards in the mix. The excuses will come in all angles: “i have money on my ATM card” when the guy is Wandegeya, he will say he banks with FINA Bank yet the ATM card has the Equity Logo! And the ones that have no ATM excuse will simply say there is no net work for Mobile Money when you try to insist they use Warid pesa, guy will simply tell you he is not on Warid, forgetting he asked you to give him the warid number instead of MTN on the first date.

Emotions-

Although most women appreciate a man who can express his emotions, men can't fathom that to be true. They are afraid of women's, so they assume women will not want to see theirs, either. This is completely untrue. Sure, women want a strong man, but they don't equate emotion with weakness. Therein lies the confusion.

Financial Failure-

Since the days that men were the hunters and gatherers for their women and children, they have had it bred into them that they must provide sufficiently for their women and children. One of men's greatest fears is that they will not be able to do this, becoming (at least in their own eyes) financial failures.

Show that they are not ahead in Technology!

Bring all sorts of things; complex phones, computers, new cars, and the rest! I witnessed serious drama one time when a guy vibed a lady and asked for the telephone contact, when the lady gave the guy the phone to save his number? He struggled like for 10 minutes before finally saying: “ you touch screen is not fiber sensitive, you should look out for the phone like a I had last year..it had pneumonoltramicroscopic fibre..you could just raise your finger and it feels the touch”, may be you will send me your contact on face book”

They will seem like they know all the latest cars, they have even driven them, like they know all types and properties of each computer. Like they can repair any gadget! Eh!

Ten things that most men are afraid of but won't admit

1. Being embarrassed in public, especially to another man, is every man's worst fear. This has to be number one. No man likes to be outdone by another, especially in public, so every man is on guard so that he never 'loses face'.

2. Loneliness and Separation - most men are terrified of being lonely because they do not cope well on their own. Many have a hidden fear that their wives will leave them. It is said that Separation Anxiety is the only fear we are born with; all other fears are learned. It may be just as well that on average, women live five years longer than men.

3. Being considered a poor lover is a universal fear at some point for every man. How else can one explain the plethora of products now available to enhance the man's ability and 'staying power'.

4. Women with strong characters and women not afraid to stand up for themselves can be intimidating and frightening; yes men like a challenge and the thrill of the chase; but not too much of one.

5. Death and dying - men I think have a bigger fear of dying than women. Perhaps this is the ultimate form of Separation Anxiety. Did you know that men injured in the field of battle cry for their mothers.

6. Losing hair/ going bald - though somewhat less so than once, still many men today are terrified of becoming bald.

7. Failing - Men fear failure like women fear mice. The strongest man is the one who is the least afraid of failing.

8. Emotions and opening up - most men enjoy chatting to mates and having intimate conversations with ladies however, generally speaking this is at a superficial level compared to the emotional content displayed by women. For men emotions are energy sapping and often seen as 'wasteful', whereas women can be energised by them.

9. Their wives - most but not all men have a level of fear of their wives; women have the ability to 'make' or 'break' a man's ego identity. Most men are to some degree aware of this. Hence men may cock like crows, but nevertheless they tread warily.

10. Castration - this is a primordial fear and becomes sublimated in adulthood but is never completely lost. According to Freud's psycho-sexual analysis, girls have penis envy and battle with their mothers to win the affections of their father - the Electra Complex, while boys have a fear of castration, if their secret desire for their mothers is discovered - Oedipus Complex.

Therefore, apparently, a man is a complex web of ego defense mechanisms, held together by the love of a woman.

Most Romantic Things To Say to a girl...

Girlfriends are one of the best things in the world. They are like flowers in your garden, the birds in the sky, the star on top of your Christmas tree and the icing on your birthday cake. So go on, spoil her. Make her feel totally loved. Lovesick guys have sworn girlfriends are the next best thing to heaven. Get all chummy, cuddle up and take mental note of the following romantic things to say to yourgirlfriend --- guaranteed to make her fall in love with you every single day!

You look pretty without any make-up, just the way you are

Every woman is beautiful in her way. And she loves nothing more than being told so; especially by her man. When you see her next, admire her face, look deep into her eyes and say with all your heart how beautiful you think she is.

You're very beautiful.

 Girls make great importance with their appearance, judging on the amount of time they spend prepping up or retouching in the bathroom. So make their efforts worthwhile by at least letting them know your appreciation. It will go a long way I assure you.

You make me be a better man. 

Encouragement is very motivating and surprisingly, romantic. When your girl realizes that you make her your drive to make yourself a better person, chances are, she will do the same for you.

You complete me

Tom Cruise had all the women in the world go ‘aawww’ when he said these words to a demure Renee Zellweger. Though clichéd, ‘You complete me’ is the most wholesome and lovable thing you can tell your woman. It will melt her anger away in a jiffy and forgiveness shall be dispensed without further ado.

You are my companion, confidante, love and life

Simple, yet honest is always effective. Telling her that she is everything and anything you could ever ask for is the most wonderful way to get her to believe in your love for her.

I think about you all the time. Well, to tell you a secret, girls think about boys a lot too. They may seem distant or cold but believe me, their mind is focused on you and you alone. So boost her ego a little by telling her you think about her often aside from your favorite sports event.

You’re smile can brighten up the most dullest of days

Being Romantic in other words means showering her with compliments. Praising her hairstyle, getting mesmerized by her eyes and being bamboozled by her smile. When you want to lighten up her mood simply gush about her beauty and she’ll wrap you in her arms sooner than you could wish for a hug.

I love what I become when I am with you

Very few things can brighten a girl up as much as her knowing that she has a positive and great impact on your life and your being. Let her in on how she is an indispensable part of your life and that you are the best you will ever be thanks to her.

WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR LOVE LIFE

Good relationships don’t just happen. I’ve heard many of my clients state that, “If I have to work at it, then it’s not the right relationship." This is not a true statement, any more than it’s true that you don’t have to work at good physical health through exercise, eating well, and stress reduction.

TAKE Responsibility for yourself.

This is the most important choice you can make to improve your relationship. This means that you learn how to take responsibility for your own feelings and needs. This means that instead of trying to get your partner to make you feel happy and secure, you learn how to do this for yourself through your own thoughts and actions. This means learning to treat yourself with kindness, caring, compassion, and acceptance instead of self-judgment. Self-judgment will always make you feel unhappy and insecure, no matter how wonderfully your partner is treating you.

Tell him what turns you on.

Instead of being bored in the bedroom, tell him what turns you on. If you want to be satisfied when it comes to sex, you can't be shy. Let him know what you like (and don't like), and encourage him to do the same.

Get away for the weekend.

You don't need a holiday as an excuse for a weekend together. Rent a cabin in the mountains or a room at a spa resort. Even if you don't go out of town, the change of scenery at a hotel or bed-and-breakfast can give your relationship a romantic boost.

Schedule sex.

Work, kids and other obligations can leave very little time for sex. So, put it on your calendar. On the first of the month, schedule sex appointments with your husband for the entire month. Do your best to keep every appointment.

Create date times.

When people first fall in love, they make time for each other. Then, especially after getting married, they get busy. Relationships need time to thrive. It is vitally important to set aside specific times to be together – to talk, play, make love. Intimacy cannot be maintained without time together.

Fun and play

We all know that “work without play makes Jack a dull boy." Work without play makes for dull relationships as well. Relationships flourish when people laugh together, play together, and when humor is a part of everyday life. Stop taking everything so seriously and learn to see the funny side of life. Intimacy flourishes when there is lightness of being, not when everything is heavy.

Stay fit & healthy.

What would a resolution list be without mentioning health and fitness? Instead of committing to losing X number of pounds, commit to staying fit and healthy. If you haven't had a checkup lately, schedule it today. Work out and shop for healthy foods together. Being fit and healthy will make you feel better about yourself -- and improve your sex life.

10 Ways to Boost the Romance

• Leave a Polaroid of yourself in his briefcase or car. What you're wearing (or not wearing) is up to you!
• Make an "I love you" coupon book that each of you can use when you feel like it. Some coupon ideas include: Kiss me here. Wear my favorite ___ . Act out a fantasy. Give me a 10-minute massage.
• Plan a weekend away together. Make it an erotic vacation, no matter where you go. Bring toys and lubricant, order room service, have no contact with the outside world (unless it's an emergency), and indulge in food and drink. It doesn't have to be expensive, but if you want it to be, then make a plan for saving up — it'll give you something to look forward to.
• Try a female-friendly erotic video. Contrary to popular belief, women benefit from watching sexy videos as much as men do. Maybe you'll be inspired to try something new. Pick a video that you think you'll like — it may not be his first choice, but he'll be thrilled anyway!
• Call your partner in the middle of the day and explain what you want to do to him later that night. You can get graphic or you can be coy and seductive, with subtle, come-home-soon hints.
• Have sex with your eyes open to heighten your connection. Keep your eyes locked on each other during the especially passionate moments (the ones we normally close our eyes during). Look at each other when one or both you orgasms.
• Take a bath together. Make sure to include candles and essential oil, such as lavender oil. Take turns washing each other. Include a waterproof toy if you'd like.
• Spend five minutes kissing — it's the only thing that will help you rediscover the passion and sensuality that your kisses hold! Plus, it can remind you of your first kiss.
• Write him a note about your most memorable sexual encounter or time together. It will spark your memory and get the creative juices flowing.
• Have a "giving" day. One of you agrees to completely give, with no expectations about what you'll get in return. From breakfast in bed to an out-of-the-ordinary treat to sex later that night, one of you shows your love for the other and thereby increases intimacy for both of you.

Tips for Communicating with your Partner About Sex

Communicating about your sexual needs is how to get them satisfied!

Communication is by far the most important ‘sexual enhancement’, because when you’re engaged in each other mentally it’s easier to connect sexually. There’s also the fact that your partner can’t read your mind, so helping them out by communicating your sexual needswill just make it that much more likely to get exactly what satisfies you!

There are a lot of reasons to keep the communication lines open when it comes to your sexual needs, however there is one aspect that is paramount. Recognizing that keeping your mind open to your partners needs builds intimacy & trust…two things that also result in hotter sex!

This article is about communicating your partner about your sexual needs as well as suggestions on how to be open to your partners desires. A list of tips for communicating duringsex will be coming up next!

Here are seven simple and easy tips to communicate effectively: 

1. Say what you mean and mean what you say.

2. Do what you say and say what you do.

3. Your thoughts and feelings, needs and wants, likes and dislikes are valid and legitimate. It is your job to own your internal experience. That means identify what is going on for you inside yourself, learn to language it and find the courage to express it. Ownership implies that you know and believe that you are okay with who you are, and how you experience and react to your inside and outside worlds. Other people do not have to understand or agree in order for your experiences to be valid, legitimate and respected. This is about you!

4. Other people's feelings are also legit. Just as your thoughts and feelings, needs and wants, likes and dislikes and internal experiences are valid and legitimate, so are those things of others. You may or may not understand. Please, respect their experience(s). Your response? Agree to disagree. Accept without agreeing. This is about them! This is not about you.

5. Pay attention to needs. When a need is unmet it becomes an issue. We have many opportunities to experience and express issues in our marriages. Common ways to respond, although unproductive and harmful, are to complain, blame and criticize. Next time you experience an issue try making a request. Identify what you need or want or what you want someone to do or say differently, then, make a request. Focus on what you want to happen, instead of what isn’t happening or what happened that you didn’t like.

6. Learn to tell your whole truth. Notice I didn’t say the truth. Your truth is your recognition of what you are experiencing inside yourself and outside of yourself at any given moment. If you are experiencing an upset or a disappointment, you may know or understand less about what you are experiencing than at other times. Find the courage to say as much as you can about what you think, feel, need and want. When you have more clarity or additional knowing be sure to share them with you partner.

7. Be a good listener. Listening is an essential and valuable skill. Becoming a good listener takes time and practice, and is enormously appreciated by others. When you are engaged in a meaningful conversation, say to your spouse, "Tell me more." This is a special invitation that conveys your interest, and intention to listen and really know them and understand the issue.

Tips for Communicating with Your Partner WRITE ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS AND CONCERNS.

Sure, you may not view writing about your feelings and concerns as communicating well, but it does help. When you are writing about your feelings and concerns, it will help you clarify the issues you are having by yourself. This is a good way to practice the way you are going to communicate with your partner.

WRITING A LETTER.

Remember back when you used to write love letters to your partner when things were just starting out? Sometimes, the best way to communicate with your partner about sex would be to write them a letter. Sure, this may sound old school, but sometimes, writing is better. Personally, I can communicate better writing letters with people. When you write the letter, you will also be looking at things from a different perspective.

PRACTICE TALKING.

If you are nervous about speaking with your partner, then practicing will help you. You can practice with a friend you can trust or you can sit in front of a mirror alone and talk.

GIVE YOUR PARTNER TIME.

When you are speaking with your partner about sex, give them time to process everything that you have said. Time will allow both you and the partner to respond correctly. This way, the both of you will not feel pressured or rushed. Take note that sexual communication is an ongoing process.

EYE CONTACT.

When you are communicating with your partner, it is important that you keep eye contact. This way, you will be able to connect with one another emotionally.

DON’T RAISE YOUR VOICE.

When you are communicating with each other, there is no need to raise your voice. If your partner does not see eye to eye with you, then do not get mad at him or her. Just tell them you wish they would think about what you are talking about. Tell them you will give it some time. Together, the both of you can come up with a way that you both agree on.

OPENING LINES.

If you are having a problem communicating with your partner about sex, then you can come up with an opening line that will ease those problems. When I say opening lines, I do not mean “I need to talk to you.” I mean, if you are having problems with premature ejaculation start off by something like “Do you enjoy your sex life?” After the opening line, see what your partner says and then take it from there.

 BE UNDERSTANDING.

There are chances that your partner is just like you and has a hard time communicating about sex. You need to be understanding. If they are quiet, then this is because they are embarrassed. Ask them if they are embarrassed, tell them not to be embarrassed that you just want things to be better.

BE COMFORTABLE.

When you are talking with your partner about anything, it is important that you are comfortable. As you are speaking with them, you should also have a clear mind and not be worrying about anything else.

Those are top tips on how to communicate with your partner about sex. Personally, I enjoy writing a letter (or an email) to my partner to get my problems out. I also enjoy talking with my husband through instant messenger. I find it easier to communicate this way, plus it is fun as it brings back memories of the old days. Do you have any problems communicating with your partner? How have you addressed these problems?

Get Health Boost in Bed...

You know sex feels good and does wonders for your mood, but did you know that it benefits your health (his too!) in a number of not-so-obvious ways? The reason, according to scientists, is that during lovemaking, our bodies produce a cascade of hormones (and other biological changes) that

can ease pain, lower cancer risk, boost immunity, and even offset menopausal symptoms. Taking care of your health has never been so much fun. 

It Reduces  ChRoNiC PaiN  

Next time you have a headache, justsay yes. Stimulation of your clitoris andvaginal walls triggers the release of endorphins, corticosteroids, and other natural painkillers. As a result, you’ll feel less pain from headaches and sore muscles during sex. The benefit, which begins before you orgasm, can linger for up to 2 days, says Barry Komisaruk, PhD, a Rutgers University psychology professor and coauthor of The Science of Orgasm. In his research,he found that women could withstand painful pressure to their fingers while they were stimulated with sex toys;during orgasm, pain tolerance doubled.And self-stimulation through the front wall of the vagina, where some find their G-spot, increases pain tolerance and pain detection thresholds by up to 50%, reports Komisaruk.

 It Lowers BReast CaNCeR Risk

 During arousal and orgasm, your levels of “happiness” hormones rise. Two of these—oxytocin and DHEA—may help keep breasts cancer free. One study showed that women who have sex more man once a month have a lower risk of developing breast cancer than those who are less sexually active. And Greek researchers found that men who had at least seven orgasms a month in their 50s had a significantly lower chance of developing male breast cancer.

It Gives YouR heaRt a WoRkout 

Cardiologists rank intercourse as a mild-to-moderate-intensity exercise that enhances heart health as well as brisk walking does. As with any workout, the more vigorous you are, the more your heart benefits. The positions you try matter too; being on top is especially cardiac-friendly because it usually requires more effort. Orgasm delivers a bonus: At your peak moment, yourheart rate may hit 110 beats per minute, comparable to what you might achieve when walking quickly or jogging.

It Protects his PRostate 

Catholic priests have an elevated chance of dying of prostate cancer, and studies point to celibacy as a factor. In 2003, research on middle-aged Australian men found that those who averaged at least four ejaculations a week had a one-third lower chance of developing prostate cancer than those who had fewer. “When you drain the pipes, as it were, you have less clogging,” says Irwin Goldstein, MD, head of sexual medicine at Alvarado Hospital. Though the results of the study were clear, the reasons they occurred were not, says Goldstein, who calls for more research. 

It Lowers stRess 

Got a big presentation coming up at work? A 2005 study found that men and women who had engaged in intercourse in the 2 weeks before a stressful day had an easier time while doing public speaking and some verbal arithmetic. During their presentations, their systolic blood pressure (the first number in a bloodpressure reading) increased less and then dropped back to its normal level at a faster rate than that of people who had no sexual relations or had other forms of sex, including noncoital interactions or masturbation. One theory about why this occurs is that intercourse requires more complex brain activity; another idea is that it stimulates a number of important nerves not triggered during other sexual activity

.it Revs Up YouR immuNe sYstem 

Research from Wilkes University showed that college students who engaged in sex once or twice a week had 30% higher levels of infectionfighting antibodies than did their abstinent classmates. In 2004, German scientists produced similar results: Blood tests showed that arousal and orgasm in men increased levels of certain pathogen-fighting white blood cells. The effect is comparable to that of other stress-busting activities, such as exercise and listening to music, which also boost secretion of certain proteins that defend the body against infection.

 It Defeats meNoPausal DRYNess 

Scientists in New Jersey found that postmenopausal women who had sexual relations more than 10 times a year had less evidence of vaginal atrophy than those who reported less frequent sex. That’s a sign of healthy tissues, says Sandra Leiblum, PhD, a New Jersey sex therapist who helped conduct the study. Arousal brings blood to the vagina, which delivers nutrients and oxygen. Keep using this part of your  body, and you’ll help prevent the tissue from becoming thinner and less elastic as you age, so intercourse can remain comfortable and pleasurable.

HOW TO IMPROVE SKIN TONE NATURALLY

A flawless, even skin tone looks good. There are many factors which are responsible for dark skin tone. If you want to achieve a good skin tone without any side effect then try to go for a natural way 

Skin tone is not all about being fair – you can be as white as milk, but if you have dry, dull skin, you will not look particularly good. On the other hand, if your skin is clear and glowing, you will always look beautiful no matter how dark you are. A good way to improve your skin tone is therefore to incorporate several varied measures, including diet, exercise, and some direct skin care remedies. As far as your diet goes, it is pretty simple – make sure that you eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. There is no specific food that will improve your skin – Vitamin A, Vitamin B, and Vitamin C are all very important for the skin, and can be obtained only by eating a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. Exercise is equally important to keep your body and skin in good health. You should incorporate at least half an hour of strenuous activity of some sort into your daily schedule. If you are pressed for time or have some other constraints, you can simply walk briskly for half an hour every day.

Sun protection is an important part of keeping your skin healthy and fair. Excessive exposure to sunlight can have dangerous consequences besides of course tanning your skin and thus darkening it. Wearing a sun screen when you go outdoors in daylight is one good way to deal with this problem, but today this is not considered adequate protection. It is better to actually cover yourself by wearing a hat and clothing that physically covers as much skin area as is possible. In addition, it is a good practice to completely avoid going outdoors during peak sunlight hours, in the afternoon.

Prevent redness, brown spots, and hyperpigmentation issues that add unwanted years with these easy, basic guidelines.

1.Be gentle on your skin. 

Avoid harsh scrubs and rigorous towel drying, which can cause irritation that makes skin look older. And anytime you have an ingrown hair, clogged pore, or even a scratch from the cat—don’t touch it. “Many women pick at their skin, not realizing it can cause post-inflammatory pigmentation and scarring,” explains Heidi Waldorf, MD, an associate clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City.

2. Stay away from smoke.

 “Chemicals from cigarettes get into your bloodstream and find their way to your skin, making it sallow and spotty,” explains Alistair Carruthers, MD, a dermatologist in Vancouver. Even if you don’t smoke, sitting in a smoky room or restaurant exposes your skin to the same chemicals that cause discoloration.

3. Say yes to daily SPF.

 You’ve heard it a million times, but have you gotten the message? “My patients say they don’t use sunscreen because they don’t sunbathe, so I show them the freckles and little broken capillaries on their skin. I explain that they can get sun damage from simply walking to the car each day without sunscreen,” says Dr. Carruthers.

TIPS FOR IMPROVING SKIN TONE:

• Make a homemade skin lightener – Mix 1 teaspoon of sandalwood powder + 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder + few drops of rose water. Apply the resultant paste to the affected areas, leave it on for about 20 minutes and rinse off with lukewarm water.
• Make a mixture by mixing 1 teaspoon of lemon juice with some yogurt, apply this to the darkened areas, leave it on for 10 minutes before rinsing with cool water.
• Take a finely grounded orange peel powder, add 1 teaspoon turmeric powder and a few drops of lemon juice. Apply this mixture on your skin, let stay for around 15 minutes and then rinse off with lukewarm water.
• Use this scrub for dark elbows and knees – Make a scrub by mixing granulated sugar and a few drops of lemon juice. Exfoliate your dark elbows and knees for around 10 minutes and then rinse off.
• Massage your skin with a combination of tomato + lemon juice on a daily basis.
• Make another effective mixture by mixing 1 teaspoon each of tomato juice + lemon juice + sandalwood powder + turmeric. This remedy is also beneficial for skin cleansing and moisturizing.
• Make your skin bleach recipe by mixing 1tablespoon each of tomato juice + milk+ turmeric powder + gram flour. Use this remedy at least 3 times a week.
• Papaya and aloe Vera, both are loaded with natural skin lightening properties. Make a mixture by mixing papaya pulp mixed with some Aloe Vera juice, apply this mixture to the darkened skin area.
• Take some overnight (water) soaked almonds, grind the almonds into a fine paste, add some honey and olive oil, and apply it to darkened skin. This is a natural skin lightener and also prevents skin darkening.
• Avoid sun exposure.
• Make a healthy diet menu by including lot of fruits and vegetables.
• Follow a good and balanced skin care regimen to enjoy a healthy and even skin tone.

Tips to Remove Fine Lines and Wrinkles on Forehead

Fine lines and wrinkles on forehead are evidences of aging skin. The wrinkles and lines show up once they loses moisture and elasticity. It may be due to long exposure in the sun without proper skin care, the natural process of aging, stress or other factors. Fortunately there are things you can do to lighten and possibly remove the wrinkles on forehead and delay them from showing up. 

Get a smooth, wrinkle-free brow with these clever shortcuts from the experts.

1. Layer makeup

A light-reflecting primer such as Laura Geller Spackle Tinted Under Make-Up Primer ($25; laurageller.com) camouflages fine lines. Follow with sheer liquid foundation. Bonus: Primer keeps makeup from settling into—and emphasizing—furrows.

2. Cut side-swept bangs 

Soft, brow-skimming bangs are the easiest and most stylish veil for wrinkles, says hairstylist Rodney Cutler, owner of Cutler Salons. "Make a low side part right above your pupil," he says. "A center part only draws attention to the forehead by framing it."

3. Use plumping creams 

Moisturizers with peptides or retinol stimulate collagen to plump skin, says David Bank, MD, a derm in Mount Kisco, NY. Use peptide-packed Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Plump Perfect Ultra Lift and Firm Moisture Cream SPF 30 ($68; elizabetharden.com) during the day and Neutrogena Anti-Wrinkle Deep Wrinkle Filler from Ageless Intensives ($19; shop.neutrogena.com) with retinol at night—its narrow tip traces directly over lines. 

4.Wear Frownies to bed 

"If you wake with creases from scrunching your face in your sleep, these patches are helpful," says Los Angeles-based derm Jessica Wu, MD. Frownies Forehead & Between Eyes ($20 for 144; frownies.com)—a cult favorite—are stiff adhesive "bandages" that hold skin in place to prevent furrowing.

5. Invest in the big guns 

Botox and Dysport are the only surefire forehead smoothers, says Dr. Bank. You'll need to get injections every 3 to 6 months to maintain the effects. Cost: about $400. To plump out especially deep lines, fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane (about $700 per syringe; results last up to a year) may be needed.

Home Remedies for Eliminating Forehead Wrinkles

Coconut and Olive Oil: 

These are the healthiest oils rich in essential fatty acids. They help to lighten and eliminate the wrinkles and also serve as moisturizers. For best results, always exfoliate and wash the face before rubbing the oil onto those lines. Be forewarned that if you have sensitive skin, you should not exfoliate the face daily. Once a week is good enough, but you should cleanse the face before massaging your face with the oil. 

Grape seed Oil:

 This is the other beneficial oil not only for fine lines and wrinkles on forehead but those on other part like wrinkles near eyes and around lips as well. In fact, you can think of sunflower seed oil as a multiple purpose oil as it can lighten age spots and dark spots as well. Further more, it can also be used to remove makeup and serves to moisturize the skin just the way like coconut and olive oil. 

Aloe Vera:

 This ugly looking succulent may not look attractive but it's loaded with benefits for fine lines and wrinkles. When uses on the forehead, it hydrates and repairs the skin. 

Ice Cubes: 

Surprisingly, this is one of the most overlooked home remedies for treating fine lines and wrinkles on forehead. By applying it onto the wrinkles, it improves blood circulation to deliver important nutrients and vitamins to the skin. This helps to repair and rejuvenate the skin to return you the lost glow and radiance.

Commercial Remedies for Eliminating Forehead Wrinkles

Moving on, let's look at commercially available remedies for eliminating forehead wrinkles.

In this group, the most affordable remedy has to be anti-wrinkles creams. 

Anti Wrinkles Cream for Deep Wrinkles: 

Once those lines become visible on the forehead, it means that you are working with deep wrinkles. Ordinary anti-wrinkles creams will not be effective for deep wrinkles. You need to do more. Other than using products with ingredients likeCynergy TK and hyaluronic acid, you need to be using only the best night cream to facilitate skin repair while you are sleeping .

Cynergy

 TK is a functional type of keratin. It promotes collagen and elastin production. On the other hand, hyaluronic acid absorbs and retains moisture in the skin. With regularly usage, facial cream with both ingredients will give you the smoother, softer, and younger skin you desire.

Botox Injections:

 By far, the most popular choice for those who want fast and instantaneous result. All it takes is a shot to reduce the fine lines and wrinkles on forehead. It also delays new lines from appearing too. Botox treatment is fast with no down time. If done by experienced and skilful specialist, it is highly effective. On the other hand, a poorly done job can paralyze the face muscles resulted in the "deadpan look". There is another problem with Botox - it is a temporary remedy. Every 3 to 6 months, you need to "renew" your youth with another injection. 

Microdermabrasion: 

Although costly, it is an effective treatment for wrinkles on forehead. Microdermabrasion takes years off you by abrading and exfoliating the dead skin cells. It also softens and flattens the wrinkles at the same time. Microdermabrasion is also effective for removing skin discoloration and age spots at the same time thus improving your overall appearance. However, if cost is a concern, don't forget to check out these affordable wrinkles prevention tips.

While these options can help to remove fine lines and wrinkles on forehead and other part of your face, you can further delay the lines from showing by forming good habits and healthy lifestyle. For examples, drink at least 8 glasses of water daily, put on sun protection cream before stepping out of the house, stop smoking and get 8 hours of sleep daily. By no means is this the comprehensive list but I'm sure you get an idea what other things helps to delay the fine lines and wrinkles on forehead or other part of your face from showing up.
