8 Magical Herbs You Can Grow At Home Easily.

If you love gardening or want to take up it as a hobby why not start with growing some herbs to add
that much needed spice and health to everyday dishes. All you need is a nice window garden getting
at least 4 or 5 hours of direct light from a sunny window. Apart from the immense satisfaction and
connect with nature, herbs plucked fresh from your small garden are more beneficial from the ones at
the grocery store as plants tend to lose almost 50% of their nutritional value within hours of
harvesting.

Tips for the Perfect Herb Garden:

1. Provide adequate light: Eight or more hours of direct sun or bright artificial light.
2. Select the proper soil: Soil selection and how you fertilize it will depend upon the herbs that you
chose. Growing them fast can result in lack of essential nutrient oils.
3. Correctly set up your containers: You will need to support the plant by external nutrients in soil
due to the limited soil in containers. Allow for quick draining of water through adequate holes and
layer with coir to allow the soil to breathe.
4. Know when to water: Avoid overzealous watering and know when the plant needs moisture.
Water the container until some water comes out of the bottom, but don’t over-water.
5. Start feeding your plants after 10 or so days: After the initial 10 days feed with half-strength
nutrients every two weeks to provide nutrients to the roots.
6. Use your herbs when they’re ready: Usually after 4-6 weeks the herbs will have grown enough
leaves that can be pinched without affecting their growth.

7 Things You Didn’t Know About…Ashwagandha!

If you read this title and thought, “I don’t even know what ashwagandha is,” you’re not alone.

Thanks to a renewed interest in holistic medicine, this Ayurvedic herb is gaining in popularity, but
it’s still very much under the radar.

Ashwagandha has been used in India for centuries to boost the immune system, and studies show
that it can aid the body in a number of ways, including to combat the physical effects of stress,
improve learning and memory, and even offer relief for those who suffer from anxiety and
depression.

7 Interesting Facts of Ashwagandha:

As the wellness movement grows, you will likely hear more and more about this special herb. When
you do, you’ll be armed with these 7 interesting facts:

1. Something smells…horse-y? The Sanskrit translation of ashwagandha is “the smell of a horse,”

which, thankfully, is not literal. The term is meant to indicate that the herb will give one the vigor and
strength of a stallion, and, rest assured, it smells simply like a dried herb, not a carriage house.
2. Brain and body benefits. Ashwagandha is one of the most important herbs in Ayurveda, and is used
to treat a wide variety of ailments. It not only supports the immune system, but also may stabilize
blood sugar and lower cholesterol. It is most commonly used for its effects on mental health. It
promotes a sense of calm and relaxation while nourishing the nervous system, which can get
overworked when we’re stressed.
3. An ancient stress-buster. Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb, which means it promotes
homeostasis in your body and enhances its ability to deal with stress. When we are stressed, we
pump out more of the hormone cortisol, and studies show that ashwagandha can reduce the amount
 of it by as much as 26%. This is great news, because chronically elevated cortisol levels increase
inflammation and degenerative processes in the body.Another study showed that ashwagandha
was able to significantly reduce the number of cells damaged by chronic stress. Using animals,
researchers determined that 85% of their cells showed signs of degeneration when they were
chronically exposed to stress. Adding ashwagandha to their diet caused that number to drop to just
5%.
4. Very ancient, that is. The use of ashwagandha dates all the way back to 6000 BC. The roots of the
plant are traditionally dried and ground into a powder, which is how you’ll still find it today. It was
typically mixed with water in a tea, with ghee (clarified butter), or with honey. A more modern option
is to add it to a smoothie!
5. An “Indian ginseng”? “Indian ginseng” has become a pseudonym for ashwagandha because of its
rejuvenating properties (although ashwagandha is actually part of the nightshade family, and is more
closely related to the tomato). Taking this herb was customary after an illness to improve the
immune system. In addition, ashwagandha is also used to enhance sexual potency for both men and
women.
6. A worldwide herb. While it is typically associated with the Indian wellness system of Ayurveda,
ashwagandha, also called winter cherry, grows naturally in both North America and Africa.
7. An athletic enhancer. Animal tests suggest that supplementing with ashwagandha may significantly
improve athletic performance. A study of rats found that they were able to swim twice as long as
they normally could when they were given the herb. This could translate to humans as increased
endurance.

How To Use Ashwagandha As A Sexual Rejuvenator?
Curejoy Expert Gina Hodge Explains:

Ashwagandha is both a rasayana herb, meaning one that aids the quality of life and longevity, as well
as an adaptogen, a herb that improves one’s ability to cope with stress. It also increases Nitric oxide
production which is helpful in dilating blood vessels which is a key factor in maintaining penile
erection, which explains its traditional use as a sexual rejuvenator.

Ashwagandha can be used in the following ways as a sexual rejuvenator:

. Increasing stamina and sperm count: Add Ashwagandha to one-fourth quantity of ghee (clarified
butter) and grind it nicely. Store this in an air-tight container. Take 5 gm of this mixture with milk or
lukewarm water for 1 month regularly.

. Impotency: Take 3-6 gms of Ashwagandha powder and sugar in equal proportions with milk every
day.

. Erectile dysfunction, low libido, premature ejaculation: Ashwagandha mixed with ghee, sugar
and honey acts as a good aphrodisiac and increases semen quality, sperm count and mobility.

The dosage and time period this can be taken depends on the level of damage present in the body and
one’s age. However, adults are advised to take the medicine for at least 3 to 4 week’s continuously to
realise the full benefits of the herb. For people over 40, Ashwagandha needs to be taken regularly
from anywhere between 3-6 months. In case of prolonged medication, take ashwagandha for 6 weeks
and give a break of about 10 days before starting the next dosage.
Foods For A Natural Testosterone Boost

It’s been proven over and over again. Everything to do with burning fat, building muscle, and
increasing a man’s libido is under the control of one hormone: Testosterone.

Research has also revealed bad news about the physical condition of the 21st century man. There are
nearly half a million newly diagnosed cases of low testosterone each year in the US alone. This does
not include the hundreds of thousands of men who are completely unaware of their condition. The
more body fat you have the more testosterone your body locks up, making it unavailable to use. It’s a
downward spiral. Your belly gets bigger and bigger, and your testosterone goes lower and lower.

I, personally, use the modern scientist’s measuring stick for peak health, waist circumference. Not
only is this better than the BMI scale for determining health risks, it’s the #1 predictor of low
testosterone. Now just look the bellies that surround you. It’s apparent that our testosterone levels are
at their lowest level in recorded history.

The reality is, we are dealing with factors today that previous generations never had. Factors that are
keeping us from burning fat, building muscle, and performing like a Dirk Diggler in the bedroom.
Just look at our food sources alone. Most of them now contain chemicals and estrogenic hormones
that negatively impact our body’s ability to produce testosterone.

Here are 4 “testosterone-killers”:

-Commercial milks, yogurt, and cheeses
-All processed foods
-Soy based foods
-Packaged, microwave meals.

I avoid these because they all contain estrogenic and progesterone compounds. And since I’m serious
about building a lean, strong physique, I stay away from foods with higher estrogen levels. Otherwise
the amount of testosterone my body produces will suffer.

I always know when my diet is affecting my testosterone output. I get “man boob” syndrome. When
my chest looks puffy and my love handles start to protrude, it’s usually a sign that I have too much
estrogen in my body. Again, it’s the vicious spiral of fat effecting testosterone and lower testosterone
levels effecting fat. Now let’s talk about the foods I eat to force my body to produce more
testosterone.

5 Foods to increase Testosterone:

-Grass-fed beef
-Whole eggs
-Almonds
-Cashews
-Coconut oil

These are all sources of saturated fats. And contrary to popular belief, saturated fats aren’t that bad.
Here’s why: Saturated fats contain cholesterol. Cholesterol is what our bodies use to make
testosterone. I’m not saying to go out and gorge on high, saturated fatty foods. But avoiding them
completely (as we were once lead to believe) is definitely not the answer. The key is eating the right
amount on a daily basis. Too little and our testosterone levels will drop, too much and we begin
risking heart health.

I used to eat low fat all the time. That was until I read in The Journal of Applied Physiology that guys
who consume a diet containing 40% fat had higher testosterone levels than those consuming only
20%. Making this dietary change allowed my body to immediately start producing more testosterone
and it was noticeable, in many ways
What Are The Health Benefits Of Sex?
Apart from the means of reproduction, sex is also linked with several other health benefits. Indian
sutras have preached the idea since mythic ages.
Among the list of health benefits of sex, the best ones that are believed to have worked pretty well for
many are as follows:

Sex Improves Immunity

People who have sex have higher levels of what defends your body against germs, viruses, and other
intruders. Reportedly, researchers at Wilkes University in Pennsylvania found that college students
who had sex once or twice a week had higher levels of the a certain antibody (immunoglobulin A)
compared to students who had sex less often.

Improves Women’s Bladder Control

Reports online also suggest that a strong pelvic floor is important for avoiding incontinence,
something that will affect about 30% of women at some point in their lives. And sex is like a workout
for pelvic floor muscles.

Lowers Your Blood Pressure

Indians believe that having a healthy sex will also help keep the blood pressure at moderate degree.
Moreover, one of the researches also suggests a link between sex and lower blood pressure.

Exercise
Sex can also be considered as a form of exercise that will stretch and strain your muscles for the
better. Sex uses about five calories per minute, four more calories than watching TV.

Lowers Heart Attack Risk

Since, sex keeps your estrogen and testosterone levels in balance, a good sex life is good for your
heart.

Make Prostate Cancer Less Likely

A good sex life also offers a guarantee to ward off prostate cancer. Research says that men who
ejaculated frequently (at least 21 times a month) were less likely to get prostate cancer.

Stress and Pain Reliever

One of the studies have also shown that having sex doesn’t only improve the mood, but a study has
also prove people who indulge in it effectively can also handle stress better than other people. Apart
from that sex is also considered as a great pain reliever. When you’re about to have an orgasm, the
level of the hormone oxytocin increases by five times. This endorphin actually reduces aches and
pains.

Others
There are several other health benefits of sex. For e.g. it also offers a better sleep, improves overall
fitness, boost your libido, increase intimacy and improve your relationship.
Natural Tips On How To Increase Sexual Stamina

your spouse’s breathing if you want to create a feeling of more togetherness.

4. Surround yourself with red color

An environment that has red color as well as red stones or red foods and drinks play a key role in
enhancing the sexual stamina of both sexes. If a woman is going on a date with a man, she is mostly
advised to wear red color since it plays a very big role in increasing her partner’s arousal. Red is as
cheap as anything else. No one should say that they cannot afford to have a red environment around
them.

Here are 10 foods that have been considered aphrodisiacs at one time or another

Truffles
The Greeks and the Romans considered the rare Truffle to be an aphrodisiac. Black truffles are
popular through fall and winter and may last even longer. White truffles might only be on the menu

dishes. Add bits of fresh root or ginseng powder when cooking rice to infuse the starch with an
earthy, bitter-sweet flavor – then brace yourself for the full effect

tribal leaders consumed it in mass quantities to keep them going with hundreds of sex partners

Figs

stimulant. A man breaking open a fig and eating it in front of his lover is a powerful erotic act. Serve
fresh Black Mission figs in a cool bowl of water as it is done in Italy and be sure to eat with your
fingers!!
Chili peppers
“Capsaicin,” a chemical that stimulates our nerve endings and raises our pulse, is responsible for the
“heat” in chili peppers. This aphrodisiac food is also thought to releas e endorphins, which give our
bodies a natural high. Some researchers believe that is the case with all “hot” foods. Garlic is another
example of these aphrodisiac foods.

Avocado
The vitamin B6 contained in the avocado is said to increase male hormone production. The avocado
also contains potassium which aids in regulating the female thyroid gland. A note about the avocado:
the Aztecs called the avocado tree a “testicle tree” because they thought the fruit hanging in pairs on
the tree looked like male testicles

artificial flavorings and colorings.

Are you getting all the nutrients from your healthy food?
Once we decide what to eat, there is the important question of how much of the nutrients we ingest
are actually absorbed. Some of what we eat may even ”stick” to the walls of the intestines, inhibiting
absorption of nutrients and promoting conditions that cause disease, fatigue, and colon cancer.

We get out of our bodies a level of function that is significantly dependent upon what we put into it.
Most of us want to eat better, so where do we begin? There are many books written and there are
professionals who can be consulted. As you research this for yourself, and perhaps your loved ones,
here are some considerations.

Top 10 Ways To Cleanse Your Body:

1. Give your body the right fuel. For energy and stamina, our diets need to include foods with
energy that the body can use, such as fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grains and legumes and
clean, unchlorinated and unflorinated water.

2. Clean your digestive tract, the absorption and waste disposal system of the body. Years of bad
eating and environmental factors may have allowed mucus, plaque, and “bio-gunk” to build up in
the digestive tract and these accumulations can be encouraged to leave the body. The digestive
system begins at the mouth and ends at the anus. It functions to break down what goes into the
mouth, turning it into usable energy, and then quickly getting rid of the rest. The body normally
excretes waste in 18 to 24 hours, after which, harmful toxins can form. Since we eat two to three
times a day, we should be moving our bowels two to three times a day. Anyone who has less than
one bowel movement per day is constipated.

3. Eat plenty of fresh vegetables, six to eight servings a day of green, yellow, red, orange and
white vegetables. Do not eat canned vegetables or fruits. If you eat them raw or slightly steamed
 the enzymes in the food can work to clean your digestive tract. Eat them throughout the day.
Grapefruit consumed at night has been known to help cleanse; prunes and grapes are still among
nature’s best laxatives.

4. Take a multidigestive enzyme after eating your meals and before bed to help digest bulk that
may be moving slowly. This is a temporary measure until your system can begin to use the
properly combined food you will be feeding it. It may be important to check with your physician
or pharmacist to be sure this will not digest your medications too quickly.

5. Make sure not to combine melons with any other foods. Eat them alone 20 minutes before or
one hour after any other foods are consumed. Fruits do digest in the same stomach acid and
enzyme conditions as other foods, and they should not be mixed. If you suffer from ulcers, avoid
digestive enzymes that contain hydrochloric acid (HCL), except under a physican’s care. Drink
aloe vera juice twice a day to aid enzyme activity in the body.

6. Make an environment for “friendly” flora to pass through your digestive system. Probiotic
supplements like acidophilus have an antibacterial effect on the body. Live yogurt contains
acidophilus, but make sure it is not sweetened with any false sugars, especially high fructose corn
syrup and aspartame (Nutrasweet). During your cleanse, acidophilus, taken twice a day, could be
beneficial.

7. Aromatherapy and Essential Oils applied to the stomach area, bottoms of the feet, ankles and
behind the ear may be helpful during a cleanse. Fennel, peppermint, patchouli, juniper, grapefruit,
lemongrass and tarragon are known to be antifungal, antibacterial and help encourage lymphatic
drainage.

8. Drink herbal teas twice a day. Some herbs that can be helpful to a cleanse are cascara sagrada,
psyllium, comfrey, flaxseed, goldenseal, hops, fennel, licorice root, peppermint and lemongrass.
Be careful and get monitored if you eat licorice root or comfrey and have high blood pressure.
Use caution with cayenne and cinnamon if you have skin problems.

9. Vitamin supplementation with the B series and antioxidants like vitamin C complex and
pycnogenols seems to be important during a cleanse.

10. Be Regular. If natural fiber and plant laxatives do not improve your bowel movements, an
enema to remove damaging toxins may be necessary. Magnesium Oxide is available in capsules,
and works as a laxative also.

An internal cleanse releases toxins from the body. Some people experience flu-like symptoms
without fever, or skin eruptions that may last a couple of days as the body adjusts and flushes out
toxins that have been stored deep in tissue.

Detoxifying baths, 10-15 minutes in warm water with a cup of sea salt and a cup of baking soda will
pull toxins out of the body through the skin. Hands-on therapy like massage, aromatherapy and
detoxifying body wraps are also helpful in reducing these side effects. These treatments help move
the toxins through the tissues and minimize the healing crisis. Exercise is also important.

Home Remedies For Sagging Breasts
Breast sagging is a natural process that happens with age wherein the breasts lose their suppleness
and elasticity. Breasts do not have muscle. They are made of fat, connective tissues and milk-
producing glands, and they need proper care to keep them in good shape.

Home remedies for Sagging Breasts

Yoga: The benefits of yoga for the entire body have been widely studied, and it is primarily a
mechanism of toning the body and increasing flexibility. Some of that toning can occur within the
breast, depending on which positions you commonly practice.

Massage: Massage your breasts at least 2-3 times per week with olive oil. It will help add firmness to
the skin as well as improve the skin tone and texture. It will also tone your chest and increase the
elasticity of the skin.

Essential Oils: Carrot oil, cypress oil, fennel oil, lemongrass oil, and spearmint oil are some of the
essential oils which can also help or be used to increase the firmness of sagging breasts. It would be
best to use them in a mixture along with other vegetable oils.

Are Your Everyday Habits Causing Sagging Breasts?

Breast tissue starts aging faster than the rest of the body. Though we can’t counter genetic factors,
here are few things you can be careful about to prevent sagging breasts, Here are a few everyday
habits that contribute to sagging breasts.
Habits that cause sagging breasts:
Crash Diets:
A balanced diet may be the key to healthy breasts.When you’re on a crash diet, you lose weight
quickly and also put on weight easily in future. This causes a strain on the breast tissue. T he skin
tissue stretches to adjust to the weight gain, but it can’t indefinitely snap back into place when the
weight comes back off again. It is very important to maintain a steady weight or right nutrition in a
healthy and sustainable manner.

Ill-fitting bra:
Wearing an ill fitting bra is one of the most common causes of sagging breasts. This may stress your
breast skin and collagen, resulting in sagging. Go to any lingerie store, and get your right bra and cup
size.

Bad posture:
Regular exercise can keep your chest muscles strong and firm. You must also ensure that your breasts
are well supported during any form of exercise, especially high-intensity exercise. Also, keep
improving your posture by walking straight.

Exposure to the sun:

Also, excessive exposure to the UV rays can damage your skin, and make it wrinkle and age
prematurely. It is advisable to protect yourself from the sun and apply sunscreen.

Smoking:
Smoking can cause your skin to lose its natural elasticity, reduce the amount of collagen in skin and
worsen blood circulation. It can make the skin age faster.

Does Sleeping In Bra Prevent Breasts From Sagging?

Curejoy Expert Gina Hodge Explains:
Ptosis of the breast is the medical term for drooping or sagging female breasts. There may be
conflicting views regarding the association of wearing a bra while sleeping and the prevention of
sagging breasts, while some experts advocate sleeping bra-free at night while others strongly believe
that wearing a bra at night does prevent breasts sagging. However, there is very little scientific data
supporting each group.

Having said that it is my belief, that wearing bra at all times, especially for an individual who is more
prone to breast sagging would certainly reduce the incidence of ptosis. The support provided by a bra
would work against the effect of gravity, which would otherwise cause the stretching of the
supporting skin and ligaments of the breasts, hence making it droop due to the downward
gravitational pull.
But it is important to know that certain styles of bra would not be ideal to slumber in, like wearing an
under wired bra with push-up. Thus choosing an ideal bra that is soft and comfortable is very
important if you want to wear it in bed.

Other Causes of sagging breasts:

- Poor posture
- Improper support
- Pregnancy
- Faulty diet
- Improper breast-feeding
- Ageing

Things you can do to prevent breasts sagging:

- Wearing a well supportive bra: It is very important to wear a good supportive bra every day,
especially during breast feeding.
- Establish a good exercise program: A good exercise program that includes weights to strengthen the
muscles underlying the breast tissue might be very helpful.
- Maintain a good posture: Standing up properly, with your shoulders back and maintaining a good
body posture goes a long way for preventing sagging breasts.
- Maintain a healthy body weight: Try to maintain your body weight with the help of good eating
habits, exercise and Yoga. The main three Yoga asana’s which help in breast lifting are
Sarvangasana, Sirshasana and Viparita karani.
- Keep your breasts smooth and supple: Exfoliate, use lotion and massage the breasts.

How To Lift Your Breasts Naturally?

Most of us are looking for ways to lift and enhance our breasts naturally, without undergoing
expensive surgeries. There may be several factors behind the slackness of your breasts such as
breastfeeding, poor nutrition, diseases, aging, wearing wrong bra, menopause etc. Here are a few tips

bra may cause injury to breast tissue, poor posture or even back pain. Also, right bra size can give
your breasts a natural lift.

- Exercise: Though the breasts are mainly composed of fat, the entire mass sits on top of a muscle
called pectoral. Exercise can build up the muscle, and prevent drooping breasts or sagging. Here are
few exercises you can do to keep your breasts firm:

- Push-ups: Practice around 10 push-ups a day to strengthen your pectoral muscles. The right way to
do it is by starting on your fours, with feet close together and palms slightly wider than your
shoulders. Your body should form a straight line from head to toe. Lower down until your chest
almost touches the floor. Keep your upper arms at a 45 degree angle to your torso. Pause, then repeat.
You should see results in a month or two.

- Weight Lifting: Weight lifting is a great way to build up your pectoral muscle. You can try bench
pressing or the dumbbell fly. To start off with, try a simple balance ball exercise you can do at the
gym or at home. Use a balance ball to support your weight under your upper back and extend your
legs out in a 90 degree angle. Start with a free weight in each hand with your hands rested on the
ground at your sides. Bring your arms up into a 90 degree angle and hold the position for a few
seconds. As soon as you can no longer handle the position, drop the weights back down to your sides,
take a few seconds to rest and go back into the same motion.

- Aloe Vera Gel: Aloe Vera is known to have natural skin tightening properties. Massaging with
Aloe Vera Gel exercises the muscles and tones the breasts. You can also try almond oil, as it
increases blood circulation.

- Nutrition: The muscles will become tight if you fulfill the protein requirement of the muscles. Your
body requires essential nutrients such as vitamins, calcium and minerals. These can be found in foods
like tomatoes, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, carrot, meat etc. But along with this you need to reduce
the intake of caffeine and also stop smoking.

- Swimming: Just spending about half an hour in the pool can do wonders for your breasts!
Swimming tightens the muscles responsible for holding your breasts. Swimming can help you burn
fat and build muscle in your upper body, hence helps you lift your breasts and keep them firm.

What Is Vaginal Detox And How To Do It At Home?

Vaginal detox (vaginal steaming) is all about using steam and a selection of herbs to cleanse the
vagina.

Vaginal steaming in Chinese medicine is used to relieve stagnation and coldness in the body, and in

What Type Of Sugar Is Best If I Have Diabetes?

Many alternate sugar substitutes like Aspartame, Sucralose, Neotame to name a few have come under
the scanner for being unsafe to use, even though most of them are FDA approved. Hence, it is not
recommended that you use artificial sweeteners to replace sugar in your diet. But, that doesn’t mean
you have to eliminate sugar from your diet completely. While cooking or baking desserts, replace
sugar with naturally sweet fruits like apples, peaches or your favorite fruit. Apart from getting a dose
of your daily fruit intake, you will also feel far more satiated from the fruit sugar than you would feel
with an artificial sweetener.

You can also use natural sweeteners like honey, agave nectar, sugar alcohols or jaggery while taking
your morning cup of tea or coffee. Although they are as calorie-dense as sugar, they can still provide
many other nutritional benefits and can be safe when consumed in moderation for a diabetic.

How Do I Stop Yawning All The Time?

Yawning occurs immediately before and after sleep, during tedious activities, as a result of its
infectious quality or when you are tired, bored or when your brain is over-heated. The “infectious”
nature is considered a instinctual reaction (seen in animals) to a signal from one member of the group
reminding the others to stay alert.

You cannot completely eliminate yawning but can prevent it by following these steps:

. Practice Pranayama: Shallow and slow breathing decreases the exchange of oxygen and carbon
dioxide in the blood stream which can cause yawning. Deep breathing exercises like pranayama
ensure proper oxygenation.
. Avoid watching other people yawn: It is quite likely that watching another person yawn might
trigger your brain induce yawning.
. Get good sleep: Fatigue is one of the major causes of yawning. Get at least 7-9 hrs of sleep every
day.
. Have good posture: Sitting straight will ensure your diaphragm to breathe better and deeper as
compared to slouching.
. Take short walks: Try to walk around your work space intermittently every few hours, this will
ensure you breathe deeply and break monotony.
. Take cat naps: If you sleep less than 7 hrs, try to take short 10-15 min naps at least twice a day.
This will make you feel refreshed and be more productive.
. Lick your lips: When you feel a yawn coming, lick your lips to avoid a yawn.
. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables: Eating junk food will make you feel tired faster inducing more
yawns.
. Eat a small lunch: Don’t eat carbohydrate-rich, big lunches, because your body slows down
everything else to digest the food you have eaten, making you feel drowsier.
. Exercise: Moderate physical activity at least once day will increase energy and prevent fatigue.
. Don’t skip meals: An empty stomach causes sleepiness in humans. Lack of food affects
hypothalamus which regulates its production of sleep-causing hormones.
. Chew gum: It keeps your brain feeling active, preventing yawns.
. Keep cool: One reason we yawn is due to the brain feeling overheated, keeping your immediate
environment cool will reduce yawning
. Cold beverages or fruits: Eating a cool piece of cucumber or watermelon and drinking cold drinks
will keep your body cool.
. Use a cold compress: Press a cool compress against your head and hold it there for a minute or two.
This will prevent you from yawning for quite some time.
. Avoid hot food: Hot foods overheat the body and induce more yawning.
. Cold baths: Taking cold baths in the morning will reduce yawning

Why You Should Soak Nuts Before Eating Them?

Just like grains, nuts contain phytic acid which is part of their defense mechanism to avoid predators so that
they can grow to their full maturity. Often, you may find some bits of nuts in your stools because phytic acid
works against easy digestion of the nuts. Soaking helps to get rid of phytic acid and neutralizing enzyme
inhibitors enabling easy digestion and elevating absorption of vitamins and other nutrients in the nuts.

The peels are more easily removable, once you soak nuts in hot water. Adding a little salt while soaking will
help neutralize the enzymes. It also helps remove dust residue and tannins. The water residue from the
soaked nuts must not be re-used for cooking as they might contain harmful substances.

Number of hours nuts must be soaked:

1. Walnuts: 8 hrs
2. Almonds: 12 hrs
3. Pecans: 8 hrs
4. Pumpkin seeds: 7 hrs
5. Macadamia: 4 hrs
6. Garbanzo beans: 12-48 hrs
7. Pine nuts: 8 hrs
8. Hazelnuts: 8 hrs
9. Cashewnuts: 6 hrs
10. Flax seeds: 6 hrs
11. Alfalfa seeds: 12 hrs
12. Broccoli seeds: 8 hrs.

If you are soaking nuts for more than 8 hours, then it’s advised that you re-wash them and add fresh water
for soaking every 8 hours.
Which Is Better- Drinking Ice Cold Water or Warm Water?
Very cold ice water or very hot water is not good for anyone. Moderately cold water is good for people living
in hot and humid places. For those having Pitta (fire) body type, people who suffer from excessive sweating,
burning sensation during summer, ice water is a good option. Cold water is also said to be absorbed more
quickly than hot water in the body after or during exercise and helps in preventing dehydration.

Luke warm water is ideal for those who suffer from cough, cold, asthma, allergic attacks and people who feel
that their hands and feet are cold. It is also great for those who live in cold climatic conditions or during
winters. Warm water is said to remove built up deposits that are responsible for creating negative thoughts
and emotions in our nervous system. Thus it helps in effective removal of toxins which leads to better clarity
of mind.

It is considered ideal to take a cup of warm water usually one hour after dinner, if you are a normal, healthy
person without any of the above mentioned afflictions.

Note: The water must not be so hot that it can scald your mouth and throat, but it should be warm enough to
produce a mild perspiration.

What Are The Benefits Of Tongue Cleaning?

The surface of the tongue is an excellent breeding ground for different bacteria. These
microorganisms colonize and multiply on the protein-rich areas of the tongue. They eventually reach
all areas of the mouth including the teeth and gums through the saliva. These bacteria are often the
major contributors for periodontal problems, tooth decay, gum infections, plaque and gum recession
which lead to tooth loss.

Tongue cleaning helps remove some of the millions of bacteria, food debris, undigested food, toxins,
mucus, dead cells and nasal drips that accumulate at the back of our mouth. Clinical studies have
shown that using tongue cleaners on a daily basis has a significant effect on eliminating anaerobic
bacteria. A tongue scraper is more effective at removing toxins and bacteria from the tongue than
brushing. Although brushing and flossing will loosen and move debris around, they do not actually
remove the bacteria. Almost half of our oral bacteria live on and in the deep crevices of our tongue;
the scraping action of a tongue scraper collects these toxic tongue coatings and removes them from
the body.

Ayurvedic and yogic practices recommend ‘tongue cleaning’ (Jiva sodhana) as a part of one’s daily
cleansing routine to remove ‘ama‘ (toxic debris). The Gheranda Samhita considers tongue cleaning
‘essential for the preservation of the teeth’. The Caraka Samhita, Sutrasthana (V, 75.) says: “The
dirt which is collected at the root of the tongue creates obstructions in respiration and produces a foul
smell, hence one should scrape the tongue.”. Decaying bacteria in the tongue produces volatile sulfur
compounds at the rear of the tongue; these molecules account for 80 to 95 percent of all cases of
halitosis (bad breath)

When we sleep, our digestive system remains awake, removing toxins from our body. It deposits
some of them onto the surface of our tongue via the internal excretory channels which are responsible
for the coating usually seen on the tongue in the morning. If we don’t scrape away these toxins, they
get reabsorbed by the body and can lead to respiratory difficulties, digestive problems and a
compromised immune system.

A dirty tongue also interferes in tasting the subtle flavors in food. By removing food debris from the
tongue’s surface, taste buds are able to function more effectively. This becomes more pronounced as
one ages since the quantity of taste buds on the tongue diminishes.

Should Masturbation Be A Part Of Your Wellness

Routine?
Discussing about the sexual health has been one of the biggest challenges among the teenagers.
However, gradually, the global culture has started evolving to certain heights where there is a room to
share certain issues related to the intimate things of life.

One of the things that people hate to ask or share is about sexual health because of which most will
fall in deeper trouble. Like for instance masturbation and the general question like “Should we be
doing it more?”

Why should you make masturbation a part of your wellness routine?

Releasing the right hormones

According to the 2009 University of Michigan study, orgasms cause the body to release dopamine,
endorphins and oxytocin, the “love and bonding” hormone. The boost of these hormones in turn
lowers cortisol, a main stress hormone that effects our daily life. Elevated cortisol levels lead to
inflammation, stress-eating, insomnia, and weight loss resistance. This means your pleasure-powered
work outs will more easily lead to a toned body.

It reduces your junk-food cravings

Higher levels of oxytocin makes us feel happier, which keeps those emotionally-triggered food
cravings for sugars, cheese, and other “comfort foods” at bay.

Frequent masturbation improves sperm quality (Men)

There is less DNA damage and motility problems with fresh sperm.

Makes you positive

Women who masturbate regularly are more likely to feel positively about their body. When you know
what you need to bring yourself pleasure and orgasm, you strengthen your emotional intelligence and
connection to your body.

Painkiller
Orgasms increase blood flow to both your brain and reproductive organs, which helps soothe
menstrual cramps and headaches.
What’s A Good Home Remedy For A Toothache?
Toothaches can vary greatly, from mild soreness to an unbearable throbbing pain in your teeth or
around your jaws. Tooth aches may occur due to many reasons including dental caries or gum
inflammation. Hence, it is advised to seek medical help to assess the cause of the pain.

Top Remedies to relieve toothache:

1. Mix equal amounts of pepper and common salt with a few drops of water to form a paste and apply
directly to the affected tooth. Let it sit for a few minutes. You can do this daily to get relief from pain.
2. Mix a crushed garlic clove (or garlic powder) with table salt or black salt. Apply it directly on the affected
tooth. You can also chew one or two cloves of garlic to get relief.
3. Chewing a clove on the side of aching tooth gives instant relief. Grind two cloves. Mix in a little olive oil or
any vegetable oil and apply on the affected tooth to alleviate pain.
4. Dab a cotton ball in clove oil and rub it directly on the sore tooth. Mix a few drops of clove oil in half a
glass of water and use it as a mouth wash.
5. At the first sign of a toothache, chew raw onion for a few minutes to relieve pain. If you are unable to
chew onion, place a piece of raw onion directly on the bad tooth or gum.
6. Add a pinch of powdered asafoteida to lemon juice and warm it slightly. Use a cotton pad to apply the
solution on the affected area. Asafetida fried in clarified butter (ghee) can be put in the tooth cavity for
instant relief.
7. Mix half a spoon of common table salt in a glass of warm water and rinse your mouth thoroughly. When
the solution comes in contact with the affected tooth, it will extract fluid from the tissue and reduce
swelling on the nerves. The mouth-wash also acts as an anti-bacterial.
8. Chew one or two tender guava leaves until the juice starts working on the affected tooth. Boil four to five
guava leaves in water. Let the solution be at warm temperature and add some salt. You can use the
solution as a mouthwash. Guava leaves can be replaced by raw spinach leaves.
9. Use juice of wheatgrass as a mouthwash. It will absorb toxins from the gums,reduce the growth of
bacteria and keep the infection under control. You can also chew wheatgrass.
10. Make a paste of bayberry bark and mix it with vinegar. Apply the paste on the affected tooth.
11. Put a small ice cube in a plastic bag and then wrap with a thin cotton cloth. Hold it on your cheek near the
aching tooth for a few minutes. You can also place ice directly on the tooth, but do so carefully. If you
have exposed nerves, contact with the cold can cause more pain.
12. An acupressure technique that can ease tooth pain is to rub an ice cube between your index finger and
thumb for a few minutes.

How Much Honey Is Good For Health?

The amount of honey to be consumed varies greatly from person to person. For example, one could
be taking foods with very low sugar content every day, leading an active lifestyle, and following a
disciplined exercise regimen, while someone else could be eating plenty of high sugar stuff and living
a sedentary lifestyle. Therefore, the amount of honey to be consumed would vary among these two
people due to their lifestyle and food habits.

Excessiveness in any food, including honey is not advisable. However, not all sweeteners are made
equal. An excellent way to using honey in our everyday food is to replace empty-calorie table sugar
with nutritious honey in your routine beverages, using honey instead of jam for bread, etc
Generally, three to five tablespoons (50ml) of honey a day is sufficient for an adult. Honey contains
about 60 calories per tablespoon. Effectively, the percentage of ones’ total caloric requirements
provided from simple sugars must not exceed 10%. Thus, the 180 to 300 calories a day provided from
honey is sufficient, unless excessive activity allow for additional consumption.

As per Ayurveda, honey has Lekhana property which can be translated as scraping out cholesterol
and useful in reducing obesity issues. This is the reason for having a teaspoon of honey along with
lukewarm water in the morning on empty stomach as a weight loss remedy. Because honey is sweet
in nature and sweet substances bring with them nourishing qualities, excess honey consumption is not
recommended for weight loss. Hence, Ayurveda recommends usage of upto 4 -5 teaspoons of honey
per day for an adult.

Does Drinking Warm Lemon Water Boost

Immune System?
In Ayurveda, wherever lemon is used, it’s used without heating. Lemon is mixed with luke warm
water and used as a morning drink for boosting the immune system. However, lemon juice can be
hard on the enamel of your teeth and you must dilute it with water of any temperature before
consuming. (lukewarm is recommended)

Lemon juice is chock-a-block with Vitamin C which is like the jumper cable of our immune system.
Food sources with high level of Vitamin C contribute to a healthy immune system. It’s better to take
fruits and vegetables containing Vitamin C than taking the chewable tablets. The level of vitamin C is
one of the first things to slump when you’re stressed. Lemon juice also helps to improve metabolism,
good for stomach and helps to improve mental alertness throughout the day. If you weigh less than
150 pounds, mix half a lemon’s juice with water; if you weigh more, you can use a full lemon’s juice.
The water level can be adjusted to suit your taste. You can replace your morning cuppa of coffee with
lemon mixed with water to feel more refreshed and avoid the afternoon crash that often occurs with
coffee.

How Do I Improve My Sperm Count?
Sperm count, quality, mobility and motility can be affected by genetic conditions, hormonal
imbalances, environmental toxins or medical conditions or medications. Sperm production is
impacted by excessive heat around your testicles, lack of proper nutrition and blood circulation, and
unhealthy lifestyle choices. Some habits to avoid to keep your sperm count from dropping off are
wearing tight innerwear, avoiding proximity of laptops and cell phones (magnetic radiation and heat),
alcohol abuse, smoking, stress, intake of toxins like pesticides in food, and estrogen mimicking foods
like soy foods.

Natural herbal supplements to balance the nutrient profile (especially zinc) are available in alternative
medicine like Homoeopathy and Ayurveda. While most of these work on reducing the stress factor
associated with low sperm count, others like ginseng work towards improving circulation and
supporting the reproductive system. Supplementing with essential amino acids like L-Lysine, L-
Arginine, L-carnitine improves quantity and mobility of sperms.

Try enriching your diet with some natural foods to boost sperm production and quality of sperms:

1. Zinc sources: Zinc deficiencies can dramatically reduce sperm count. Consume zinc rich foods
like Liver, oysters, beef, lamb, venison, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, yogurt, turkey, green peas, and
shrimp.
2. Selenium: Critical for sperm creation and present in brazil nuts, liver, snapper, cod, halibut, tuna,
salmon, sardines, shrimp, crimini mushrooms, and turkey.
3. CoQ10: An element necessary for energy production in body cells which also improves sperm health
and mobility, is most abundant in seafood and organ meats and mostly obtained through
supplements.
4. Vitamin E: A potent infertility remedy, it can be found in sunflower seeds, almonds, olives, spinach,
papaya, and dark leafy greens.
5. Folic Acid: Low levels of folate affect the levels of chromosomes in sperms and abnormalities can
result in fetal birth defects. Eat folate rich foods like liver, lentils, pinto beans, garbanzo beans,
asparagus, spinach, black beans, navy beans, kidney beans, and collard greens.
6. B12: Increases sperm count. Found in clams, oysters, muscles, liver, caviar (fish eggs), fish, crab,
lobster, beef, lamb, cheese, eggs.
7. Vitamin C: Improves sperm quality, protects it from DNA damage, and improves sperm motility.
Abundant in plants and fruits including red peppers, broccoli, cranberries, cabbage, potatoes,
tomatoes, and citrus fruits.

How To Detoxify Liver Naturally?

Considering the toxic environment that we live in, being exposed to poisons in water, food and air is
something that we have evolved into. Both your kidneys and your liver filter your blood of toxins but
the liver does an additional role-that of breaking these toxins down for quick expulsion. The two-
phase enzymatic process first neutralizes toxins and then binds these broken fragments to other
molecules, negating their toxicity and excreting it through bile, urine or stool. Unless you live in a
“clean” environment and intake food that is easy on the liver, chances are your liver is overburdened
and losing the battle.

While a good diet will support the liver, a manual cleanse or detox helps remove stored toxins,
allowing the liver to rest and recharge. Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese medicine have advocated
liver cleanse since ages.

There are multiple ways to cleanse the liver including products available in the market including
laxatives and diets that promise a quick cleanse. But these might lead to dehydration and eroding of
vital nutrients from the body. Search for a knowledgeable herbalist or ayurvedic practitioner
(panchkarma) to undergo a detox as per your body constitution.

To maintain good liver health and detox gradually and naturally, include fiber rich fruits and
vegetables in your diet to help eliminate toxins that the liver breaks down. Include Sulfur-rich foods
(onions, garlic, broccoli, kale, collard greens, Brussels sprouts, etc.) in your diet that are known to
help your liver detoxify environmental toxins, including prescription drugs and pesticides. While you
eliminate toxins work towards putting them into your system in the first place by avoiding foods
(alcohol, processed foods, carbonated beverages, fried foods, trans fats, etc.) that increase the toxic
load on your liver.

There is very little you can do about your external environment, but using a good quality RO water
filter and air purifier at home should reduce the toxins the liver has to fight on a daily basis. Pure
water is a great cleanser so keep your body and liver hydrated to aid smooth movement of toxins out
of the system. Keep up your activity levels to expel toxins through sweat.

Ayurveda advocates a cleanse twice in a year (during specific seasons) and based on your prakriti
that renews and resets the liver to fight the ever increasing battle against toxins.

How does obesity affect my sex life?

As a society and a species obsessed with physical beauty for dating/mating a partner, obese people
will find themselves isolated. Dating can be stressful and plain right depressing for most.

Obesity can affect you psychologically and physically, leading into an unsatisfactory time in bed. An
overweight person generally feels “undesirable” and low on self esteem about his/her own body
making it difficult to be comfortable and intimate during sex. Emotional turmoil leads to guilt about
not being “good” enough for your partner which can lead to depression.

Though sex is not all about being tarzan and jane in bed, but being mobile and active makes sex
interesting which help bring variety in your positions and role play. Lack of agility in bed can make
the activity monotonous for your partner ending up being just a routine than an engaging experience.
The lack of activity due to joint pains (caused by increased weight….the spiral effect) would leave
you with lowered cardio-vascular strength, a vital demand during sexual activity.
Obesity brings with it the other killer-ailments like diabetes and high blood pressure that can increase
your risk of erectile dysfunction (ED). Obesity can cause ED by damaging or constricting the blood
vessels, decreasing testosterone, and increasing inflammation in the body. ED can be a problem for as
many as 80% of obese and overweight men.

Support from partners can make obese people feel comfortable about their bodies and problems. And
can motivate them to find natural ways to increase activity and moderate their diet. Obesity CAN be
reversed and though it is a physical problem, programming your mind can start the turnaround.
Engage with people who motivate and inspire you to get back your life and sexual self esteem.

6 Healthy Benefits of Sexual Healing You Can’t Ignore.

Sex: Amazing Combination of Health+Pleasure

It’s not called Sexual Healing for nothing. Sex can actually heal. It can heal your body and mind and
prevent many diseases.

Some say it’s the first medicine ever known to man and it should be administered daily. Sounds too
good to be true? Let’s discover the six reasons for which a man should have sex each day.

1. Great Form of Exercise: Making love is a form of physical activity. During intercourse, the
physiological changes in your body are consistent with a workout. You must have noticed that the
respiratory rate rises, which means you get tired. Hence, you burn calories. If you have sex three
times a week for 15 minutes (but we know you can do better than that) you’ll burn about 7.500
calories in a year. That’s the equivalent of jogging 75 miles! Heavy breathing raises the amount of
oxygen in your cells, and the testosterone produced during sex keeps your bones and muscles strong.
2. Makes You Look Younger: Making love three times a week can make you look 10 years
younger, claims a Scottish researcher. “It’s good for you to have good sex,” says David Weeks, a
clinical neuropsychologist at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, whose study on the effects of sex on aging
appears in his book, Secrets of the Super young.
3. Pain Relief: The “Honey, not today, I have a headache” cannot be an excuse any more. During sex,
both male and female bodies produce endorphins, hormones that act as weak painkillers. A study
conducted by Gina Ogden showed that during sexual stimulation and especially during orgasm, we
don’t feel pain. If she finds another excuse, remind her that sex is good for her entire reproductive
 system, because it trains the PC muscle, which keeps the reproductive organs in shape. In women,
sex can also increase fertility, postpone the menopause and relieve PMS symptoms.
4. Prostate Protection: Most of the fluid you ejaculate is secreted by the prostate gland. If you
stop ejaculating, the fluid stays in the gland, which tends to swell, causing lots of problems. Regular
ejaculation will wash those fluids out and ensure the well being of your prostate until old age.
Problems may also occur when you suddenly change the frequency of ejaculations.
5. Prevents Erectile Dysfunction: Fifty per cent of men older than 40 suffer from erectile
dysfunctions and all young men fear the moment when they won’t be able to get it up any more. The
best medicine against impotence is…sex. An erection keeps the blood flowing through your penile
arteries, so the tissue stays healthy. Plus, doctors compare an erection to an athletic reflex: the more
you train the more capable you are to perform.
6. Stress Relief: It’s a scientific fact: sex can be a very effective way of reducing stress levels. During
sex your body produces dopamine, a substance that fights stress hormones, endorphins, aka
“happiness hormones” and oxytocin, a desire-enhancing hormone secreted by the pituitary gland

What Are The Health Benefits Of Kissing?

Generally, when it comes to kissing, medically, you will probably think of it as a means to share
germs, unhygienic act but obviously it is romantic too. However, kissing has a lot to offer to your
health condition, provided both the kissers are healthy and not suffering from any sort of contagious
diseases.

Apart from ultimately building your immunity to the best possible, kissing has several other health
benefits as well. Here are some of them:

Kissing Reduces Blood Pressure

You might have not known this but kissing dilates your blood vessels, which helps lower your blood
pressure. One of the experts online says that kissing gets your heartbeat revved up in a healthy way
that helps lower your blood pressure.

Relieve Cramps and Headaches

When the blood-vessel-dilation occurs while you kiss, that also acts as a pain reliever, especially
headache or menstrual cramps.

Fight Cavities
Since kissing increases the production of saliva in your mouth, it helps wash away plaque on your
teeth that are most of the times the cause of teeth cavities.

Release Your Happy Hormones And Relieves Stress

Kissing makes you happy because while you kiss, the brain releases feel-good hormones like
serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin. This will make your relationship better in a lot of ways. Kissing
also relieves stress and releases epinephrine into your blood, making it pump faster, which may result
in a reduction of LDL cholesterol.
Burn Calories
Kissing is not going to replace your treadmill ever, but studies have suggested that a vigorous kiss
can burn 8-16 calories.

Boosts Your Immune System

Kissing is also reportedly said to be associated with boosting your immune system and reduce allergic
responses in people with skin or nasal allergies. One of the studies suggests that kissing may increase
a woman’s immunity from Cytomegalovirus.

Others
There are several other health benefits of kissing like boosting self-esteem, tone facial muscles,
decreases cortisol stress hormone, improves mood and lowers anxiety.

Natural Ways To Boost Your Sex Life.

Finding a relevant and authentic source for sexual health will always remain one of the most difficult
pursuits of man. Increased stress levels, exposure to toxins and a unhealthy lifestyle makes our
generation susceptible to increased risk from sexual problems like never before. Most of us in our
40′s have resigned to the fact that developing sexual complications and reduced vitality is a bygone
conclusion and medications for life, might be our only recourse.

But Nature has not given up on us yet…will never. Ignoring the elements in nature, and ancient
wisdom and medicine, should be done at our own peril. The answer to everything, not just our sexual
problems, but our overall wellbeing and health lies within these ancient scriptures.

How Much Sex Is Healthy?

For the statisticians amongst you who want a base metric, these are findings from a latest study: 18-
29 year olds have sex an average of 112 times per year, 30-39 year olds an average of 86 times per
year, and 40-49 year olds an average of 69 times per year. Have you started recollecting your
numbers? A couple’s sex life are driven by factors like age, lifestyle, each partner’s health and sex
drive, and most importantly the quality of their relationship. It’s for the couple to be comfortable
about what they deem as “healthy” and satisfying. Keeping a count just kills the essence of this
magical activity. Equating amount of sex to love, affection and fulfillment in a relationship, just
doesn’t work out. Most couples believe that companionship, trust and time together are far more
meaningful than a lot of steamy time in bed. The word “sex” doesn’t necessarily conjure thoughts of
intercourse for most couples especially where the emotional connect is far stronger. They feel that
oral sex, genital touching, mutual masturbation or just affectionate behavior such as kissing, cuddling,
caressing and holding hands are equally satisfying, and spontaneous. Don’t look at sex as the
prerequisite but a way to “re-bond” and recharge the emotional connect. Be open about your feelings
and physical needs and find the satisfying balance in frequency and quality of the sexual activity.
12 Myths About Sex {Infographic}
Being a “taboo” subject, sex isn’t discussed even within the closest social circles. That leaves a lot of
assumptions and myths about sex through hearsay that normally ends in funny situations but can
be pivotal in making or breaking a relationship. Empower yourself with the “right” knowledge to
make informed decisions in your life.

Here are 12 myths about sex posted on Visually that will shatter your deepest preconceived notions:
What Are Causes Of Bad Breath? Is There A
Complete Cure?
Bad breath (medically termed ‘halitosis ‘) may have multiple causes including gum diseases, yeast
infection, dental caries, bacteria build up, pneumonia, chronic sinus infection, gastritis etc. Foods like
garlic and onion are infamous for causing bad breath that linger even after sploshing with a
mouthwash. Some foods like garlic contain a sulfuric compound called ‘allicin’ that contributes to a
pungent smell and taste that cause bad breath.

Certain bacteria in our mouth promote bad breath by breaking down leftover proteins from food
particles, dead cells and mucous into amino acids. In order to extract energy from the amino acids, the
bacteria further dissects those molecules, causing them to release volatile sulfuric gases that give off a
distinct rotten egg stench. Although oral bacteria is the main culprit causing over 85 percent of
halitosis cases, sometimes foul breath can be indicative of a deeper issue in our body. When you get a
sinus infection or a severe cold, your breath may smell worse due to the mucous production spikes
which leak down to the back of your throat onto your tongue.

Gastrointestinal malfunctions, postnasal drip, lactose intolerance, diabetes, stomach problems, kidney
problems, pneumonia, throat infections, thrush, lung infection also induce bad breath. Fruity-scented
breath is also caused by ‘Ketoacidosis’ which is induced by lack of food, where your body runs out of
sugar to burn for energy and starts metabolizing fat.

Smoking and chewing tobacco can leave chemicals that remain in the mouth leading to bad breath.
Smoking, especially can also precipitate other bad-breath causes such as gum disease or oral cancers.

Food particles that are not properly cleaned from dentures can rot or cause bacteria and odor. Loose-
fitting dentures may cause sores or infections in the mouth, which can cause bad breath.

Remedies:

It’s important to thoroughly brush your teeth and floss twice daily. Brush or use a tongue scraper as
far back as you can in order to strike at the ground zero (between the teeth and the back of our
tongues) of odor-causing bacteria in the mouth. Not doing so can lead to periodontal disease and
gingivitis, which encourage foul breath.

Periodically drinking water washes away bacteria and particles that promote halitosis. Rinse your
mouth after every meal. Natural remedies like chewing mint, parsley, fennel seeds and carrots can
freshen your breath.

When improved oral hygenie doesn’t alleviate halitosis, a visit to the dentist is recommended. A
dentist can help you take more forceful action to quell halitosis or a doctor can treat the disease which
is causing chronic bad breath for you.
What Are The First Warning Signs Of Breast Cancer?
Unlike the common myth that a lump is the only indication of breast cancer, there are multiple
symptoms that can help in proactively seeking advanced diagnostics and medical help at an early
stage. Warning signs of breast cancer vary from woman to woman and there are some cases where
symptoms don’t show up at all, even in mammography scans. The most common symptoms are: a
change in the look or feel of the breast, a change in the look or feel of the nipple and discharge from
the nipple.

Conduct regular self examination of the breasts to look out for:

1. Lumps that feels harder or different from the rest of the breast or in the underarms. Not all lumps are
cancerous though.
2. Sudden discharge (bloody or clear…non milky) from only one nipple (without squeezing). Can be due
to an infection as well.
3. Change in size/shape, swelling/enlargement, warmth, redness, or darkening of the breast.
4. Dimpling or puckering of breast surface with an “orange peel” texture to the skin
5. Itchy, scaly sore or rash on the nipple
6. Retraction/Inversion of nipple or other parts of the breast.

If you are 40, insist on routine mammograms and regular checkups with your medical practitioner.
Listen to warning signs from your body and seek medical guidance.

What Are The Benefits Of Sleeping Naked?
One of the most important activities that keeps us healthy throughout our lives is sleeping. Needless
to say that sleeping is as important as eating and when one gets deprived of it, it can cause fatal health
issues.

There are certain guidelines for sleeping and it is a universal truth that anything done less or above
the level of moderation can be of risk or can cause lethal side effects. It is considered to sleep at least
6 to 8 hours at night depending on the physical attributes of the person. Anyhow, today, let’s see why
sleeping naked is beneficial to us.

What Are The Benefits Of Sleeping Naked?

Confort
If you are not a naked sleeper, the idea of laying naked in the bed may sound not too comforting but
when you actually get used to it, it is. Moreover, it is not just about comfort in the bed but also
because you will have to wash less clothes and you might as well save some bucks on pajamas as
well. Moreover, it also frees you from tight underwear and bra as well, which obviously makes you
more relaxed and happier.

Better Sleep
Most of the people who wear clothes and sleep must have faced a situation in the bed when their
clothes get stuck with something, or their t-shirts gets twisted and presses the belly so hard and you
wake up with a bad dream. Thus, when you are sleeping naked, you are free from such small
distractions and can result in deeper and better sleep.

Improves Skin Quality

If you sleep naked, at least once in a day, for the better, your body will get to breathe fresh air. More
importantly, your private parts will also get aired and obviously, that is a great thing. Your private
parts, armpits, and feet are generally restricted all day and are often covered by multiple layers, even
in the summer time. Give those parts a chance to air out and breathe. This can lower the risk of skin
diseases, like athlete’s foot, that result from wet, restricted skin.

Helps Regulate Cortisol

When you sleep naked, it helps keep your body temperature at the optimal ranges so your body can
better create cortisol. Therefore, if you sleep overheated, your cortisol levels tend to stay high even
after you wake up. This can lead to increased anxiety, cravings for bad food, weight gain, and more
terrible things. Thus, sleeping naked can properly produce and regulate cortisol.

Balances Melatonin and Growth Hormone

Sleeping naked can keep your sleeping environment below 70 degrees (F) every night and help your
body regulate its melatonin and growth hormone levels. These chemicals help prevent aging and are
essential to good health.

Some say it’s the first medicine ever known to man and it should be administered daily. Sounds too
good to be true? Let’s discover the six reasons for which a man should have sex each day.

1. Great Form of Exercise: Making love is a form of physical activity. During intercourse, the
physiological changes in your body are consistent with a workout. You must have noticed that the
respiratory rate rises, which means you get tired. Hence, you burn calories. If you have sex three times a
week for 15 minutes (but we know you can do better than that) you’ll burn about 7.500 calories in a year.
That’s the equivalent of jogging 75 miles! Heavy breathing raises the amount of oxygen in your cells, and
the testosterone produced during sex keeps your bones and muscles strong.
2. Makes You Look Younger: Making love three times a week can make you look 10 years younger,
claims a Scottish researcher. “It’s good for you to have good sex,” says David Weeks, a clinical
neuropsychologist at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, whose study on the effects of sex on aging appears in
his book, Secrets of the Superyoung.
3. Pain Relief: The “Honey, not today, I have a headache” cannot be an excuse any more. During sex,
both male and female bodies produce endorphins, hormones that act as weak painkillers. A study
conducted by Gina Ogden showed that during sexual stimulation and especially during orgasm, we don’t
feel pain. If she finds another excuse, remind her that sex is good for her entire reproductive system,
because it trains the PC muscle, which keeps the reproductive organs in shape. In women, sex can also
increase fertility, postpone the menopause and relieve PMS symptoms.
4. Prostate Protection: Most of the fluid you ejaculate is secreted by the prostate gland. If you stop
ejaculating, the fluid stays in the gland, which tends to swell, causing lots of problems. Regular ejaculation
will wash those fluids out and ensure the well being of your prostate until old age. Problems may also
occur when you suddenly change the frequency of ejaculations.
5. Prevents Erectile Dysfunction: Fifty per cent of men older than 40 suffer from erectile
dysfunctions and all young men fear the moment when they won’t be able to get it up any more. The best
medicine against impotence is…sex. An erection keeps the blood flowing through your penile arteries, so
the tissue stays healthy. Plus, doctors compare an erection to an athletic reflex: the more you train the more
capable you are to perform.
6. Stress Relief: It’s a scientific fact: sex can be a very effective way of reducing stress levels. During sex
your body produces dopamine, a substance that fights stress hormones, endorphins, aka “happiness
hormones” and oxytocin, a desire-enhancing hormone secreted by the pituitary gland
Why You Should Have Sex In The Morning?
Starting your morning with activity in the bed has a host of benefits:

. Increased Bonding With Your Partner: Psychologists point to the fact that when you begin your
day making love to your partner, the feeling of bliss shared, remains with each one throughout the
day, providing reassurance and a secured feeling of ‘being there for each other’. This helps each one
to deal with the problems better and face challenges. Research proves, that somewhere in the sub
conscious mind, a feeling of oneness does exist when it has been sparked off early morning. Having
sex in the morning releases the feel-good chemical oxytocin, which makes couples feel loving and
bonded all day long.

. Improves Fertility in Men and Women: Frequent morning sex can also improve sperm quality
and even improve fertility in a woman. In a study conducted at the Sydney IVF Clinic in
Wollongong, AU, researchers studied 118 men who had higher than normal DNA sperm damage
accessed by the DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI). The Australian scientists instructed the men to
ejaculate daily for a week to lessen their DNA sperm damage. The results of the study showed that 96
of men experienced a 12 percent decrease in sperm damage. The less DNA damage a sperm has the
more likely a woman’s fertility increases.

. Contributes to Healthy Hair and Skin: An orgasm during morning sex releases chemicals that can
increase estrogen levels in the body and improve the tone and texture of your skin, and hair. Blood
circulation is improved during sex which helps get oxygen to the skin and provides a natural glow to
your face and possibly nourishes hair.

. Decreases Cardiovascular Risks: The act of having morning sex multiple times a week can reduce
the risk of having a heart attack or stroke by half. In a study conducted at Queens University in
Belfast, researchers followed 1,000 middle-aged men over a period of 10 years. Researchers in
Belfast compared the participants of their study to the participants of a study published in the British
Medical Journal to study how having an orgasm can affect a man’s health. As a follow-up,
researchers focused on the cardiovascular health of the men and found that a man can reduce his risk
of cardiovascular disease by half if he has sex two to three times a week.

. Increases Immunity: The production of Immunoglobulin A (IgA) -an antibody that protects against
infection is increased during morning sex. During sexual activity, the production the IgA antibody
takes place in mucosal linings of the female genital tract that provides a barrier to prevent
transmission of infectious diseases.

. Better Performance: Men’s testosterone levels are highest in the morning after guys have
recharged with hours of sleep, which helps them perform better.
Fighting Back Impotence The Herbal Way.

What is Impotence?
Impotence is the inability to achieve and sustain an erection suitable for sexual intercourse. This
condition is not considered normal at any age and is different from other problems that interfere with
sexual intercourse, such as lack of sexual desire and problems with ejaculation and orgasm.

A much more common problem that affects the majority of men at some point in their life is the
occasional failure to achieve an erection, which can occur for a variety of reasons, such as from
drinking too much alcohol or from being extremely tired.

Failure to achieve an erection less than 20% of the time is not unusual and treatment is rarely needed.
Failure to achieve an erection more than 50% of the time, however, generally indicates there is a
problem requiring treatment.

In order to achieve an erection three conditions must occur: The nerves to the penis must be
functioning properly; the blood circulation to the penis must be adequate; there must be a stimulus
from the brain. If there is something interfering with any or all of these conditions, a full erection will
be prevented.

Common causes of Impotence:

Causes include diseases that affect blood flow, such as atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries);
nerve diseases, psychological factors, such as stress, depression, and performance anxiety; and injury
to the penis. Chronic illness, certain medications and a condition called Peyronie’s disease (scar tissue
in the penis) can also cause impotence.

For people who are at risk of developing impotence due to personal behavior, such as drinking too
much alcohol, steps may be taken to prevent its occurrence. However, other causes of impotence may
not be preventable.

The type of medical specialist who treats impotence will depend on the cause of the problem. Based
on your family’s medical history as well as your own medical history and current health, your doctor
may treat you with oral medications such as Viagra.

Medications for Impotence:

There are only three oral drugs approved by the FDA to treat erectile dysfunction: Cialis, Levitra, and
Viagra. All work by increasing the flow of blood into the penis so that when a man is sexually
stimulated, he can get an erection.

Cialis, Levitra, and Viagra work by a similar mechanism to cause erections. There are subtle
differences in how long the drug works and how quickly it works. Levitra works a little longer than
Viagra. They both take effect in about 30 minutes. With Levitra, the effects last for about 5 hours.
With Viagra, the effects last approximately 4 hours.

Cialis works a bit faster (within about 15 minutes), and the effects last much longer — up to 36 hours
in some cases.

Impotence can take a toll on a relationship. It is important to show support and offer encouragement
to your loved one with ED. In addition to encouraging your loved one to seek medical treatment for
his condition, you can help your partner deal with erectile dysfunction by offering emotional support.

Going Herbal for Impotence:

Herbal products have been through the rigorous testing required of FDA-approved drugs. From
ginkgo to ginseng, from maca to horny goat weed, natural aphrodisiacs are appealing to an increasing
number of people seeking to improve their sex lives.

“More and more people are turning to complimentary and alternative treatments for sexual
dysfunction.

Herbal Alternatives: Some natural alternatives that are known to have great potential are
the following below:

Rhodiola Rosea: A perennial plant that grows in artic regions of the world, Rhodiola can boost
sexual desire in both men and women. It’s also possible, although more study is needed, that it may
help premature ejaculation.

While no one knows exactly how the plant improves sexuality it’s probably works on the dopamine
system in the brain which is very important to sexual functioning and libido.” But there may be other
effects, too. It can help people gain a new sense of sexual energy. For women who suffered from
menopause they claimed to have more energy and some said, that the cobwebs are gone!”

Ginkgo Biloba: Best known for boosting mental power, the leaf extract of “the oldest tree known
to man” is also being used to treat impotence in men, increasing the body’s ability to achieve and
maintain an erection during sexual stimulation.

Some studies show that like Viagra, ginkgo enhances the effects of nitric oxide, which helps relax
artery walls, allowing more blood flow into the penis.
Ginseng: Like ginkgo, ginseng also increases nitric oxide levels and thus is helpful for erectile
dysfunction. But it appears to have an effect on the dopamine system too and this can help women as
well as men.

Maca: Maca, a root that grows at high altitudes in Peru, can have powerful effects on desire,
erections, and orgasms.

Horny Goat Weed: A species of epimedium, a leafy plant which grows in the wild, usually at
higher altitudes, horny goat weed has been said to improve erectile dysfunction in men and libido in
both sexes.

Problems with Herbal Medicines: There really isn’t “that much data out there. You
have to get the right preparation and most people don’t know what that is.”

This is one of the biggest problems with herbal preparations. Because of poor regulation,
standardization, and labeling in the herbal industry, there is no way to know if one product will work
as well as another.

More importantly, it’s hard to know how much of an active agent is in many unregulated products, he
says. Too much can negatively affect not only sexual function, but other body functions as well.

Studies Done on Herbal Drugs: Positive studies have been conducted with the usage of
herbal drugs. One study involved 48 men, each of whom received a capsule at his urology
clinic daily for four weeks. Half received the herbal formulation; half received a sugar pill.
No one knew who was getting the real thing, so no one could smell or taste the
differences.

Nearly 88% of the participants who got ArginMax reported achieving better erections, and 75% said
they had an improved sex life overall. Even the placebo group said they had better sex: 18.75%
reported improved erections, and 18% reported an overall better sex life during the study. All the
patients were checked for blood pressure and appetite changes, but no side effects were detected.

For women having sexual problems, a similar ArginMax formulation is being tested. The trial
involved 49 women either nearing or at menopause, all reporting sexual dysfunction. “Across the
board, there was a significant increase in sexual satisfaction in the women on the drug compared to
the control women. Some 76% of the group on the ArginMax formulation reported improved sexual
desire, while 72% had greater satisfaction in their sex lives, 64% had an improved sexual relationship
with their partners, 60% had better clitoral sensation, and 52% had more frequent orgasms.

Some tips to handle Impotence as a partner:

- Learn as much as you can about impotence. Knowledge is power, so the more you know, the
more you’ll be able to support your partner. When seeking treatment, you and your partner should
both agree on a method that best fits your lifestyle.
- Let your partner know that he’s not alone. Remind him that impotence is a fairly common and
very treatable medical condition. Impotence is not a reflection on his masculinity or a lack of
attraction or desire for you. You should also support your partner in any efforts to change his lifestyle
(such as encouraging a proper diet, quitting smoking or use of any recreational drugs, etc.) to deal
with impotence.
- Go with him to see the doctor. If your partner is agreeable, accompany him when he sees his
doctor. This is another way to show that you’re concerned and willing to work with him to treat his
condition.
- Remind him that there are many options for successful treatment. If your partner does not
succeed initially, encourage him to continue to visit the doctor and explore other options.

As a partner of a man with impotence, you are also affected.

- Discuss your feelings and let your partner know that you care.
- Stay positive. Don’t talk about blame; instead, talk about what you and your partner want and need,
and how to achieve it.
- Try alternative techniques to obtain sexual satisfaction by finding other ways to obtain and receive
pleasure without pressuring your partner to perform.

What Is Vaginal Detox And How To Do It At Home?

Vaginal detox (vaginal steaming) is all about using steam and a selection of herbs to cleanse the
vagina.

Vaginal steaming in Chinese medicine is used to relieve stagnation and coldness in the body, and in
Eastern medicine in general it is used to dilate the blood vessels, increase blood circulation, provide
oxygenation and relax the pelvic floor muscles.

What to know about vaginal steaming?

- The best time to do vaginal steaming is after your period and it is discouraged during it.
- You should also avoid vaginal steaming if you believe you may be pregnant.
- Typically vaginal steaming lasts for about twenty to forty-five minutes and care should be taken to
avoid using steam too close or too hot so as not to burn or irritate the sensitive vaginal tissue.
- The most important thing regarding the herbs you use is to make sure you are knowledgeable about
them.

Traditional herbs that are used in V steam include

- Rosemary
- Lavender
- Oregano
- Basil
- Marigold
- Rose petals
- Chamomile and others

How to do a V-steam bath at home?

- Boil about 1 gallon of filtered water and add your selection of dried or fresh herbs.
- Use about 1 cup of dried herbs .If you use fresh herbs, triple the amount as dried herbs are generally
more potent and concentrated than fresh herbs.
- Boil for 10 minute and continue to steep off of the stove for an additional 5 minutes.
- Then pour the herbal water into a bowl. Sit over the bowl comfortably on a slatted chair without
your underwear.
- Put a towel or a blanket around your waist and create a tent over the bowl.
- Steam your vagina and the surrounding areas for about 20 to 30 minutes.

It is completely normal to experience some cramping or have a vaginal discharge after your steaming,
especially if you are doing it for the first time.

Natural Ways To Combat Erectile Dysfunction And

Enhance Male Sexual Vitality.

Right or wrong, sex is often at the very center of how a man defines himself. When a man suffers
from impotence, premature ejaculation, or infertility, feelings of inadequacy swell and he no longer
“feels like a man.” The mere mention of the word impotence is enough to send a shiver down the
spine. The thought of being unable to perform is simply at direct odds with our image of what is
“manly.”

What causes Erectile Dysfunction (ED)?

The first step in solving the problem, of course, is to discover its source. Some of the most common
causes for ED are atherosclerosis, diabetes, low testosterone, and prescription drugs such as those
taken for high blood pressure, depression, and allergies. Atherosclerosis of the penile artery is the
primary cause of ED in more than half of men over 50, and is a major red flag for impending heart
attack or stroke. Drugs such as Viagra and Cialis temporarily mask the symptoms because they
improve blood flow to erectile tissue, but the long-term solution is to improve the health of the
arteries through diet, lifestyle changes, and proper supplementation.

Are there any Nutritional or Herbal treatments for ED?

For optimal sexual function, we need optimal nutrition. A diet rich in whole foods—particularly
vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds—is extremely important. So are some basic
supplements including high-potency multivitamin/multimineral formulas, greens drinks, and
pharmaceutical-grade fish oils. Beyond these basics, there are some key nutrients that also deserve
special mention:
Zinc is concentrated in semen, and frequent ejaculation can diminish the body’s stores. In response to
a zinc deficiency, the body may reduce sexual drive in order to retain this important trace mineral.

L-arginine increases the formation of nitric oxide within blood vessels. As it relates to ED, L-
arginine may improve blood flow to erectile tissue—the same net effect as the one produced by
Viagra. In one study, 31 percent of those who took L-arginine reported improvement in sexual
function compared to only 11 percent of control subjects.

Grape seed and pine bark extracts were shown to increase the benefits of L-arginine in one double-
blind study, presumably by enhancing production of nitric oxide to an even greater degree than L-
arginine alone.

Herbal treatments for ED include longjack (Eurycoma longifolia Jack), Tribulus terrestris, and
Testofen, an extract of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum).

In Asia, longjack has been traditionally used to enhance virility. Tribulus terrestris has also been used
traditionally to improve sexual function in men. Animal studies indicate that tribulus may affect
testosterone levels, but human studies haven’t produced consistent results. Testofen, on the other
hand, has shown impressive results in improving libido and testosterone levels in human clinical
trials.
Natural Tips On How To Increase Sexual Stamina

If you are one of those men who are looking on how to increase your sexual stamina, then you
aren’t alone. Research has shown that the majority of men around the globe can only last a couple of
minutes every time they are having sex with their partner. This is terrible for both you and your wife!
You have probably experienced the frustration and embarrassment that can arise due this big
problem. However, there is hope!

The following tips will greatly help you increase your sexual stamina and thus will make you and
your lover to have an enjoyable sex.

1. Watch the Way You Breathe When Having Sex

Body tension can destroy a long lasting sex. So it is essential that you keep a track on the way you
breathe while you are having sex. This is because the tension can increase the possibility of a
premature ejaculation. You thus require taking a deep slow breath and also concentrate on your
breathing patterns. Make these sound patterns to be natural and rhythmic. You can even try to match
your spouse’s breathing if you want to create a feeling of more togetherness.

2. Keep your weight in balance

Many of the people who are tackling arousal and sexual stamina issues are also people who are
tackling some issues with their weight. You find that people who are trying to increase their sexual
stamina are also exercising in bid to lose their weight. It is advisable avoid over-training because it is
also going to negatively affect your sexual activity and stamina.

3. Kegel PC Muscle Exercises

By performing kegel exercises, you can greatly improve your intimate life. These exercises are very
easy to perform. They work your PC muscles which usually control the ejaculation reflex. To make
this exercise work, flex your muscles in such a way as if you are cutting the flow of your urine.

4. Surround yourself with red color

An environment that has red color as well as red stones or red foods and drinks play a key role in
enhancing the sexual stamina of both sexes. If a woman is going on a date with a man, she is mostly
advised to wear red color since it plays a very big role in increasing her partner’s arousal. Red is as
cheap as anything else. No one should say that they cannot afford to have a red environment around
them.
Masturbation, Ayurveda, and Healing

How many of us are masturbating because we are frustratingly unfulfilled sexually, bored with faded
memories of passion, distracted with porn, or using orgasm just to fall asleep quicker? Hasta
maithuna (masturbation), like all natural urges, should not be suppressed, according to Ayurveda.

However, over-indulgence in masturbation in combination with unhealthy aspects of our

personality can become a cause of increased suffering; over a lifetime masturbation can be a leaky
faucet through which our limited Ojas (life force essence), and our mental-emotional and physical
resources, can drain.

Positive Masturbation
While there is almost universal historical disparagement of masturbation among world religions,
modern scientific evidence defines masturbation as healthy erotic self-pleasuring. Masturbation has
received positive and negative tides of opinion across cultures through time, illustrating that we
commonly feel the presence of naturally inherent contradictions in this deeply personal act of mental
fantasy and physical self-pleasuring.

The goal of Ayurveda is to empower each of us to look deeply into these contradictions, and separate
the healthy and unhealthy aspects so we can best manage the resources of our life force to maintain
health and achieve authentic fulfillment.

Masturbation Resources
Masturbation is not a trivial act, according to Ayurveda. In the deepest reaches of our being, the
sankalpa (resolve) of our libido stirs and brings together the resources for self-release, including:
• The shimmering Life Force, called Ojas.
• The intrinsic qualities of Rajas, which expands our minds with desire.
• The intrinsic quality of Tamas, which opens the doorway to fantasy.
• The intense wind of Vāta, which flows through us and moves us to act.
• The bright fire of Pitta, which enlightens our genitals (guhya, or “secret” regions).
• The comfort of Kapha, which creates the sensation of sweet fulfillment.
• The support of the 7 Dhātus, which organize all our metabolic functions.
The delicate balance and supply of these resources must be cultivated consciously, with the
experience and skill of a master gardener, to maintain optimum health and wellness.

Emotional Pain and Masturbation

When does masturbation become combined with harmful factors?

It’s the pain in our mind, according to Ayurveda, from which our physical pain develops. And, what
person does not have unbalanced mental sexual pain?

Mental habits, influenced by excessive Rajas and Tamas have a profound influence on Vāta, Pitta
and Kapha; they become pathogenic factors as they transform the Doshas.

These pathogenic mental factors include:

• Śoka (anguish) and cintā (worry)

• Lajyā (shame)
• Saṅga (addiction)
• Hatāśa (frustrated desire, hopelessness)
• Vishada (depression)
• Avinoda (boredom, monotony, and loss of interest)

Ayurveda teaches that our habitual (lifestyle) thinking either cultivates our life energies, or depletes
them. Because the nature of masturbation is repetitive and ritualized (with specific turn-ons, feelings,
memories, and pornography), the constant involvement (samyoga) of painful mental factors
“entrains” negative effects and reinforces their patterns.

Toxic Masturbation
Though we have idealized healthy masturbation as “natural self-pleasuring”, it is a deep urge, and just
as eating is prompted by hunger pangs, masturbation is associated with hidden anxiety that begs
relief.

From the standpoint of clearly evaluating our own healing – should we come to terms with this
anxiety? Most often, we do not, because it’s easier to escape into fantasy and sleep, than to question
ourselves.

When ritualized masturbation is used to mask emotional issues or as an escape from frustrated needs
or from shame, or the agony of being lonely or unloved, masturbation is rendered “empty” of positive
pleasure.

Emptiness also haunts us when we masturbate ritually to pornography decade after decade, projecting
ourselves into scenes of imaginary sex, addicted by default and longing for the turn-on we can’t get in
real life, because we are too scared or lack the power of attraction.

Using masturbation as escape, or distorting it with emotional pain, is mithyāyoga (wrong utilization),
according to Ayurveda. Masturbating addictively is atiyoga (excessive utilization). These are major
behavioral causes of endogenous disease as stated in the Charaka Saṃhitā, due to the way they
confuse and disrupt the balance of our internal natural resources.

Dhātu Kshaya and Libido

Mithyāyoga and atiyoga can precipitate loss of libido, a condition from which recovery is difficult,
due to the subtlety and complexity of the resources involved.

Even though we feel like our libido has an infinite supply (due to the intensity of our desire and
attachment), this is actually not the case, especially as we age. As yoga warns that the number of our
breaths is limited, Ayurveda teaches us that libido and sexual resources are in fact, finite.

Vājīkaraṇa therapy and Rasāyana therapy are methods Ayurveda provides that reverse the deep shut-
off of energy and subsequent spread of numbness, which depletes our libido, and the Dhātus.

The Dhātus are key physiological entities which comprise both metabolic energy, and its products.
Once their depletion and stagnancy (called Dhātu Kshaya) occurs, a complete lifestyle change is
guaranteed either by the rigors of the healing process or by the suffering created by illnesses.

Notwithstanding specific illnesses, one must search deep within to determine their authentic source of
libido, or have to go through experiences such as divorce and the attendant difficulties of finding a
new partner.

Whatever the individual karmic details are, fully committing to holistic disciplines is the only way,
according to Ayurveda, to restore the Seven Dhātus and balance the Three Doshas.

Ayurvedic Prescription
In truth, restoring masturbation to a healthy, non-toxic state and keeping it free and clear of
pathogenic factors requires a profound desire to experience authentic pleasure.

Self-observation and self-acceptance, careful study of the healing process and of Ayurveda,
spiritual determination, herbs and supplements, compassionate support from one’s lover and
treatment by qualified healers all together comprise the best medicine.

Just like the practice of Yoga, masturbation has “Yamas and Niyamas”:

• Face your pain, and heal your shame.

• Examine your fantasies and look deeply into your libido to see what truly turns you on and brings
you to life.
• Learn not to settle for cheap thrills. This is possible over time, and takes sexual maturity.
• Avoid “robotic” masturbation, just as you would not want monotonous sex.
• Don’t masturbate if you are not “positively charged”, in the same way you should only engage with
a lover when you are vitally turned-on and present in order to have an authentic experience.
• Don’t masturbate “just to fall asleep” every single night! There are many deeply relaxing practices
which are restorative and healing, instead of depleting and Tamasic.
• If you are emotionally or physically exhausted and depleted, skip masturbating. Conserve your
energy and let your body restore itself while you rest.
• Find Ayurvedic practitioners with Vājīkaraṇa and Rasāyana therapy skills.
• Contemplate the teachings of Ayurveda and Yoga.

Bye Bye Belly Bloat!: These 5 simple tips can help flatten
your stomach starting today

We all know bloating feels uncomfortable and we’re not so excited about the way it looks either..so
what can be done about the tummy, fingers, ankles and more that seem to gain two or more clothing
sizes overnight? The good news? It’s only temporary!

These 5 simple tips can help flatten your stomach starting today:

Decrease Salt
Salt is a beneficial and necessary component of healthy living. However, if you are eating an excess
of salt, you will retain water and that can lead to an imbalance of salt and water in the body and that is
synonymous with your ‘not-so-favorite’ five letter word: Bloat. If you are eating processed foods
such as frozen dinners, fast foods, snacks etc, you are most likely taking in excess sodium. Salting all
of your food is another indication you are taking in too much sodium. Stored carbohydrates hold
three times the water that protein does, so if you are eating an excess of pasta, cereals etc,, next time
reduce the amount of carbs and add more protein in its place.

Drink Water
Drinking water releases stored cellular fluid and this means a flatter tummy! When we are mildly
dehydrated, the body is crying out for water. Your body neeeeds that water for every single process
in the human body..so it holds onto it because it does not know when it will have enough again.
Drinking water will quickly restore your flat belly look if you haven’t been drinking your H20. Drink
a minimum of half your body weight in ounces. If you weight 120 lbs, drink a minimum of 60
ounces daily.

Stop Chewing Gum

Chewing gum encourages you to swallow air and then guess what? You guessed it. You are filling
your tummy up with air just as if you were blowing up a balloon. And if the gum you are chewing is
sugar-free gum? it’s a double whammy. See the below post on Fake Sugar.

Stop the Fizz

When it comes to belly bloat, carbonation is king. These innocent little bubbles decide to take up
residence in your intestinal tract and then become trapped and gas builds up. If belly bloat is an
issue..your best (and super healthy choice)move is to eliminate all sodas – diet too.

Skip Fake Sugar

Artificially sweetened products from chewing gum, diet sodas, and candies to protein bars, contain
sugar substitutes, sugar alcohols or even natural products that can create excess gas (and even severe
gastrointestinal distress). One healthy exception (that, in excess, has a slight potential of creating
digestive issues): the sugar alcohol Xylitol (pronounced: Zi-Li-Tol). Xylitol is healthy for you as it
has a minimal effect on blood sugar and none on insulin level <- One key to optimal health for
everyone.

These simple tips will help you deflate that bloated belly starting today.
Busted! 6 Weight Loss Myths That Will Make You Cry.

Are you tangled in the web of weight loss fads and endless contradicting information on the web?
Hopefully you haven’t fallen victim to one of these fads, wasting money and time with the hopes to
lose a few pounds, only to gain more back in return. I know, it’s frustrating and millions of people
share your pain. Below I explain several myths that you might be doing right now to try and lose
weight. If you are, then stop wasting your time and money.

MYTH #1: LOSING WEIGHT REQUIRES HUNGER PAINS

The fact is, what you eat is more important than how much you eat. If you don’t eat enough, your
metabolism will slow down, making your body want to store fat. As a result, your initial weight loss
will come from water and muscle, instead of fat.

You should try to consume healthy food choices and save those foods (and beverages) that are high in
fat, sugar and calories for special occasions. Yes, you can have those unhealthy food choices from
time to time, in fact, it’s encouraged. Without a cheat meal or snack every now and then, you will get
frustrated and lose sight of your goal. Please note, I said a cheat meal, not a cheat day. I see too many
people doing cheat days, which is way too much for your body to overcome on a weight loss plan.

MYTH #2: EAT NO FAT WHATSOEVER

This is a very old and popular myth. Your fat intake should be limited to around 15% of your overall
daily calorie intake. Fat is needed in any diet to lubricate your joints, keeps your skin smooth and
elastic, provide a source of energy, help your nervous system function properly and more. Olive,
flaxseed and fish oils are good sources of fats. Fats to avoid include saturated fats and hydrogenated
fats (also known as trans fats).

MYTH #3: AVOID CARBS

You’ve certainly heard this before, “Carbohydrates are bad for you and should be avoided”. This
myth has been trending lately as fad diets like Atkins and its copycats become more and more
popular. The truth is carbohydrates have a moderate amount of calories (about half as many as fat).
Simple carbohydrates (sugar) should be limited, but complex carbohydrates: whole grain and starches
are high in nutrients. The problem with carbohydrates is portion control. Too many people eat at
restaurants with huge portion sizes loaded with 5 times the amount of carbs needed for a given meal.
The best way to control your carb portions is to cook for yourself.

MYTH #4: MEAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET ENOUGH PROTEIN

Meat is a great source of protein, but it certainly is not the only source. Meat can also be high in fat
and sodium so many people look for alternative sources of protein. Egg whites are a prime source of
protein and so are various vegetables and legumes like peas, spinach, Brussels sprouts and broccoli.

MYTH #5: EXERCISE AT LEAST 30 CONSECUTIVE MINUTES TO GET AN EFFECTIVE

CALORIE BURNING WORKOUT
Adults should engage in a workout regimen for at least 30 minutes a day at least 4 days a week.
Research has shown that the activity does not need to be done all at once. The 30 minute routine can
be split into two 15 minute intervals and provide the same health benefits.

MYTH #6: VEGETARIANS AND VEGANS ARE HEALTHIER EATERS THAN

CARNIVORES
Vegetarians on average eat fewer calories and less fat than carnivores (non-vegetarians). However,
vegetarians can make eating choices that contribute to weight gain by eating large amounts of high-
fat, high-calorie foods as well as food with little nutritional value. The term vegetarian is not
synonymous with health.

The best way to be sure you are getting a well balanced, nutrient-rich diet is to eat more whole foods
and less processed, pre-packaged foods and to avoid eating out as much as possible. Make eating out
an occasional treat, but try to prepare most of your meals yourself and you will be on your way to
living a healthier, leaner lifestyle.

Green Tea vs. Black Tea: Which Is Best?

For most black tea and green tea are the same. And though both are the uppermost buds and leaves
of the same shrub called Camellia sinensis, the similarity ends with the way each is processed. Both
these teas exhibit distinct flavor and taste once they undergo different processing and oxidation
treatments, that is responsible for the brown color.

Once plucked green tea leaves are withered and then heated through the process of steaming or pan
frying, both of which prevent oxidation, helping the leaves remain green, fresh, delicate and flavorful
(light and grassy).

Whereas the black tea leaves, post plucking and withering, are crushed, torn, curled, or rolled and
undergo enzymatic oxidation (chemical reactions caused by exposure to oxygen), before being dried.
This process of full oxidation is referred to as “fermentation” and results in darker leaves and a
stronger sweeter taste and aroma.

Green tea has lower caffeine content than black tea but it varies depending on the plant varietal,
processing, and brewing methods. The oxidation process in making black tea, converts some of the
more simple antioxidants – catechins (polyphenols) of green tea to more complex antioxidant
compounds known as theaflavins and thearubigens. Experts argue that black tea loses out on the
main antioxidants but the other compounds still have a similar positive health impact as green tea.

Is green tea really good for weight loss or is it just a

hype?
Most people, who are hooked on to the “calorie and fat burn” trend, treat their morning cup of green
tea to be the elixir to a slimmer, fitter frame. They are right in a way to assume that the positive
health benefits from consuming this nutrient rich beverage, makes them feel energetic and more
active. But to expect green tea to magically trim off your excess belly fat would lead to nothing but
disappointment.

It is true that high concentrations of catechin polyphenols found in green tea can spike up your
metabolic levels, inhibit the body’s fat absorption by regulating glucose and insulin, suppress your
appetite by keeping you full longer, and absorb excess triglycerides. All these are critical to burning
fat effectively but the amount of fat burn is modest and some studies have shown no change in fat
burn rate from regularly drinking green tea.

What green tea does best is influence other aspects of your lifestyle that prove more influential in
your weight loss in the long term. Enjoying green tea in the morning and as a late afternoon/early
evening drink, ensures that you stay away from sugar laced coffee, desserts, sodas, canned fruit
juices, or any “fillers” that cause more harm than good. It keeps you full and active curbing your
cravings for sugar or excess carb-rich foods.

If there is any fat that green tea burns, it is the visceral fat (fat around your organs) and not much of
the “visible” subcutaneous fat (fat under the skin). Visceral fat is harmful and causes inflammation
and insulin resistance, both of which are strongly linked to all sorts of serious diseases, including type
2 diabetes and heart disease.

So green tea provides the most “healthy” alternative to other foods and provides some other
astonishing health benefits that make it ideal for being a part of everyday diet. Exercise and eat
healthy to boost its potential.

Green Smoothies: What, Why And How

I was hesitant at first and imagined that green smoothies would taste bitter and rather unpleasant.
How wrong I was as I immediately fell in love with the way my body responded to the increased
energy and surge of nutrients that this smoothie packs and ever since then my love of green smoothies
has flourished.

What are Green Smoothies:

Basically it’s a smoothie that combines simple ingredients; a liquid (such as filtered water or coconut
water), fruits of choice and dark leafy green vegetables (this should ideally make up about 60-70% of
the smoothie). Don’t be intimated with the greens, just have fun and create your own; that’s the
beauty of it. What’s the buzz? Green smoothies are getting a lot of hype for good reason. Below I
share my breakdown of why green smoothies can be an amazing addition to your eats.

Benefits of Green Smoothies:

Easy to digest: Because the raw/frozen fruits and raw greens have been blended, the cell walls where
nutrients are encased, are then “broken”. Blending essentially makes the nutrients more readily
available for use by the body. Think of it as being “pre-digested” in nature.

Nutritious: Packed with loads of fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, polyphenols and water.

Wholesome breakfast: Perfect first thing in the morning before your usual breakfast, snack, or
increase the serving to take place of your entire breakfast (up to 1 liter).

Simple and quick: If you’re someone who is always on the go, this is a perfect way to ensure
you’re getting a substantial amount of greens into your diet.

Veggie-love: Even if you’re someone who doesn’t enjoy eating green leafy vegetables, this is a
perfect way to “sneak” them into your diet. You won’t be able to taste the greens at all with the
mixture of fruit and lemon juice- I promise, just give it a go.

Kid-safe: Not to mention, they are very kid friendly. It’s a fantastic way to get nutrient dense foods
into their growing bodies. You’ll find the perfect combination for even the fussiest of kids. Give
smoothies fun names so they have some fun in the process.
Versatile: You can always add/remove ingredients to your liking. That’s why green smoothies are
so easy to incorporate into your lifestyle. The base recipe where I make additions from is my original
Stripped Green Smoothie, from there the possibilities are endless.

Filling: Since the main ingredients of my green smoothie are only fresh/frozen fruit and raw
vegetables, it’s loaded with fiber. 1 serving of my Stripped Green Smoothie has over 10 gms fiber.

Energizing: The main ingredients used are fruits and vegetables, which are loaded with nutrients,
vitamins and minerals to give you sustaining energy in comparison to stimulating drinks that only last
a few hours.

On-the-go: There’s nothing quicker than throwing heaps of veggies and fruits into a blender,
blending and pouring it into a mug to go out the door. It’s a super simple breakfast or quick
meal/snack idea for a busy day ahead.

Digestion: We mentioned the amazing fiber content in green smoothies, which is both soluble and
insoluble. Having a food or meal that contains both types of fiber is fantastic for a healthy,regular and
effecient digestive system.

Tips:

Use a high speed blender: This will make a world of a difference between drinking a “salad”
and drinking a creamy smoothie, trust me. I’m a huge fan of the Optimum blenders, it works well.
Although it’s a little pricey it is honestly worth the investment especially if you plan to make more
than smoothies. If you’re on a budget I recommend the nutribullet.

Beginners: I suggest having a higher ratio of fruit:greens (3:1), and gradually increasing the greens
as your palate gets used to the green taste and texture. Ideally having about 70-80% greens and 20-
30% fruits is the way to go.

Organic: Go organic as much as possible. Overall, the goal is to limit amount of pesticide exposure
as much as possible. Another great option is to choose fresh produce from your local farmers
markets. Find the best organic foods here ,by the EWG.

Fresh is best: Use fresh raw produce especially with the greens. Fruits are an exception- for
example, if berries are not in season and you’re craving for some, opt for organic frozen varieties.

Use ripe fruit: That’s right, eat those spotted bananas and mushy pears.

Citrus: Always add a citrus component (lemon, orange, lime, grapefruit, etc.). Lime is my personal
favorite.
Switch it up: Vary your greens. Some weeks you may use kale, spinach, romaine; maybe the next
week you’ll use romaine, celery, and swiss chard, etc.Variety (with greens and fruits) is important for
obtaining a wide variety of minerals and nutrients, but also to keep the flavors fun and interesting.

Bananas are great to add a “binding” effect and creates a thick, creamy texture. If you’re allergic to
bananas, try pears, avocados, or mango.

Plan ahead: Make large batches. You can store this in the refrigerator for 3-4 days maximum. I
suggest using mason jars with an air tight lid. You can purchase mason jars online, hardware stores,
or even craft stores.

Experiment: Don’t be afraid to try greens that you’ve never heard of before. The sweetness from
the fruit will “hide” much of the “green” taste.

Chew your smoothie: Don’t just guzzle down this green goodness, you need to slightly chew or
swish it around. This sets up for better digestion by stimulating your salivary glands and digestive
enzymes. Remember digestion starts within the mouth.

Get fancy: Add in superfood extras for additional nutritional value. Goji berries are a great addition
among many others. Try as many as possible and you’ll discover an array of combinations.

How to Make a Green Smoothie:

Smoothie meal: 3 parts greens + 1 part fruit + 1 citrus + 1 part protein + 1 part healthy fat or
carbohydrate + superfoods + liquid of desired texture.

Smoothie snack: 2 parts greens + 1 part fruit + 1 citrus + 1 part protein or healthy fat +
superfoods + liquid to your desired texture

Blend the following ingredients to desired thickness.

Liquid: Can be filtered water, coconut water, matcha green tea, homemade nut milks, etc.

Greens: Select from the greenest vegetables like green kale, spinach, romaine, celery, swiss chard,
mustard greens, dandelion greens, cucumber, wheatgrass, herbs such as mint, cilantro, parsley, basil
and more.

Fruits: Go for natural sweeteners like bananas, apples, green apples, pears, kiwi, pineapple,
peaches, mango, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, papaya, blood orange, figs, dates, plums, açai,
and more.

Carbohydrates: Possibly some sprouted buckwheat groats, gluten free rolled oats, pumpkin puree,
etc.
Healthy fats: A wide range includes avocados, nuts, seeds, hemp seeds, chia seeds, flax seed, flax
seed oil, coconut oil, coconut meat and young coconut meat.

Citrus: Pick out anything that has some vitamin C; lemon, lime, grapefruit, Meyer lemon, orange

Protein: Plant-based protein powders. I love Organic Hemp Protein, Sunwarrior and Vega, hemp
seeds, spirulina, nuts/seeds also contain healthy fats.

Superfood toppings/add-ins: Includes a wide variety including bee pollen, maca powder,
lucuma, cacao nibs, spirulina, chlorella, cinnamon, cayenne, baobab, etc.

Hopefully you all learned a little today about green smoothies and their power as far as nutrient
density, helping digestion and giving you natural energy. If you loved this, feel free to bookmark it or
save it for later by sharing it with friends.

Have fun with creating your own green smoothie.

How To Keep Your Liver Healthy?

The liver is a key organ for detoxifying our bodies. If our livers aren’t healthy or functioning
properly, the toxins that should be eliminated could end up staying in our bodies and cause damage.
Here are a few tips for supporting your liver heath — and as a result, the health of the rest of your
body — through your diet.

Tips for Liver Support:

Lemon Juice:
For liver support, start each day with a cup of warm water with lemon juice (fresh). The citric acid in
lemon juice encourages the liver to produce bile, which is one way that the body excretes toxins.

Cruciferous Vegetables:
Cruciferous vegetables induce different liver enzyme pathways to clear toxins from the body. Aim to
eat 1-2 cups of these vegetables per day. They include broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, Brussels
sprouts, Bok Choy, turnips, watercress, rocket, Lightly cooking them is better than eating them raw.
Foods rich in Sulfur:
Eat at least one portion of onions, garlic and/or eggs per day. These contain sulfur, which helps the
liver to clear hormones and toxins.

Apple Cider Vinegar:

Drink a glass of warm water with a teaspoon of organic apple cider vinegar each day.
Avoid Alcohol:
Alcohol can interfere with the liver’s ability to detoxify, so avoid if possible.
Say No To Fructose and Trans Fats:
Two big burdens to the liver are fructose and trans fats. Avoid French fries, donuts, baked goods,
biscuits, breads and anything that has “hydrogenated” or “partially hydrogenated” oil as part of the
ingredients. Fructose is found in packaged foods and fruit juice.

Drink more Water:

Drink more water. The body needs water to remove waste from the system and it is especially
important during a “detox” because toxins need to be mobilized.

Green Tea:
Try to drink 1-2 cups of green tea per day. Green tea contains catechins, a type of antioxidant that
supports the liver and assists with detoxification.

Bedroom Tips Girls Secretly Want a Guy to Do

It’s much more difficut to satisfy a woman in bed than a man. Many representatives of
the stronger sex can not find the approach to their partners, especially when they are
shy and secretive. Not all girls are trying to talk about their preferences and wait for a
man to take any initiative and give them an unforgettable orgasm.
For most part of the fairer sex intimacy is something special. Girls do not want any
rough copulation, they long for romance, tenderness, caresses and kisses. In order to
deliver your favorite a real pleasure in bed, you have to create a romantic atmosphere,
give compliments and tell sweet words. You need to determine where there are your
woman’s erogenous zones. This can be understood by the moans, sighs, rapid
breathing and reaction to touching a particular body part.

Girls’ behavior in bed is directly linked to her emotional condition and the events that
have taken place in the afternoon before. There is such a thing as a female potency,
which is influenced by stress and argues. And if after the tiring day or noisy scandals
the partner does not take affection, you should not be surprised.

If you indeed want to have a very pleasant evening, you need to prepare for it in
advance. Female desire starts in the head. Woman is excite by romantic gestures,
unexpected gifts, kind words. Each representative of the fairer sex knows when a man
really wants making love and when he was just doing his duty. Do not forget to give
her favorite flowers, sing songs and make surprises. These actions will not just make
them happy emotionally, but also radically change the behavior in bed.

Most women love persistent, self-confident men. Don’t give up in the case of
refusal.Many women just want to flirt.If a man will make more efforts to achieve his
lady, the sex will be enjoyable not only for him but also for her.
It is important to give a sense of love and companion care to show how much she is
sexy and desirable. Declarations of love will make intimate moments sweeter. It is
really necessary to support your passion in all endeavors in bed, so she will not be so
shy.

The foreplays are of great importance. The fairer sex needs some more time to reach
the desired condition before intercourse. But this does not mean that the affection
should be standard, memorized. Look for unexplored places on the body, try new
contacts and positions.

The kissing process is a very intimate and important moment for any woman. Sex can
not happen without the sensual touch to the mouth. You can start with a kiss on the
lips, and then move on to the neck and chest. But petting should be intense and not
break off for a moment. The girl shouldn’t lose excitement. Of course, you can not hurt
and leave marks on the body.
If this is the first sexual intercourse and you do not know what zones are erogenous,
focus on the chest and nipples. These parts of the body are the most sensitive. Neat
affection of such zones can cause a strong desire.

If a man uses imagination and shows determination, he will obligatory meet the
expectations even of the most demanding partner.

If a man uses imagination and shows determination, he will obligatory meet the
expectations even of the most demanding partner.

The main thing is to experiment as often as possible and to pay attention to her
reaction. Women are very thin and delicate creatures. They need to be delighted and
amazed.

How to Always be Prepared for the Perfect Kiss

Ready whenever you are. (Photo: Nathaniel Goldberg/Trunk Archive)

Pucker up: It’s National Fresh Breath Day! And while maintaining good dental hygiene is important
every day, it’s especially important when you’re leaning in for a kiss. Poet Sylvia Plath once wrote,
“Kiss me and you will see how important I am” — and let’s be honest: you are very important. And
whether you’re a kissing amateur or connoisseur, everyone’s kissing skills could benefit from a tune-
up. We spoke with Andréa Demirjian, a self-proclaimed kissing expert who wrote the book, Kissing:
Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About One of Life’s Sweetest Pleasures, and New Jersey-based
oral and maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Steven Moss for the best ways to prepare yourself for kissing —
and why there’s actually no such thing as a bad kisser.

Floss before you gloss. In her book research, Demirjian discovered that many people only brushed
their teeth once a day, when they should really be brushing their teeth at least twice a day, and
flossing at least once a day. Moss recommends packing a travel-size toothpaste, mouthwash, and
toothbrush wherever you go. “These tiny goods can make a huge difference when it comes to
maintaining good oral hygiene and fresh breath,” he says. It will encourage you to brush and cleanse
after every meal.

Test your tongue. Moss notes that you can oftentimes tell if you have bad breath by your tongue.
Take a spoon and place it upside-down towards the back of your tongue. Slowly but pushing down
steadily, drag the upside-down spoon to the front of your mouth toward the tip of your tongue. “If
there is clear residue that resembles saliva, you probably have a clean mouth and no bad breath,”
Moss advises. “If the residue on the spoon is white-looking, this typically represents a film of
bacteria, which also means bad breath.”

Drink lemon- or lime-infused water. The acid in the water will help kill bacteria. But Moss notes
you shouldn’t overdo this quick fix, as too much acid can wear down teeth enamel.

KissSafe Fresh Breath Oral Antiseptic Spray

Order a mojito and ask for extra mint. “Chewing herbs like mint, basil, or wintergreen won’t clean
your teeth,” Moss admits, but they can freshen up your breath. It’s a convenient quick fix when
you’re already out and about. Another quick fresh breath remedy is the KissSafe Fresh Breath Oral
Antiseptic Spray ($9), which comes in peppermint flavor and contains cetylpyridinium chloride, an
oral antiseptic that has been proven to prevent dental plaque and reduce gingivitis. It, can, however,
stain your teeth — so don’t think breath fresheners can ever replace a toothbrush.

Keep your lips soft and natural. Demirjian recommends keeping lip balm with you to keep your
lips moist. “Some people like to exfoliate with a bit of sugar and honey, but it’s actually more
important to moisturize than to exfoliate,” she advises, noting the sensitive nerves on the lips. A lip
conditioner like the Aerin Rose Lip Conditioner ($28) adds a touch of nude color while nourishing
the delicate skin.

Kylie Jenner-style pouts are not necessary. “There is something to said for a full, rosy lip. It is
alluring and attracting,” Demirjian admits. “But what really attracts people is not the physical natural
of their features per say, it’s how everything is packaged together.” Plus, she notes, consistent kissing
gives you a pout naturally.

It takes more than nice lips for a good kiss. “It comes down to synchronicity — the timing — and
really importantly, the chemistry between two people,” Demirjian tells Yahoo Beauty. “If you kiss
someone and you think he or she’s a terrible kisser, someone else may disagree with you.”
What The Different Women’s Bra Sizes Really Mean

Believe it or not, 80% of women wear incorrect bra size. Most women wear a bra too tight in the cups
and too loose in the back. Sizing usually varies slightly between brands. 26C, 28D, 32E, 34FF…We
all can define bra sizes when we see it, but do you know what these numbers and letters mean? Bet
you’ll be shocked how many women don’t know the essential rules of bra fitting. Aren’t you one of
them?

Bra size is a combination of a number and a letter that appears as band size and cup size.

Band size is the number of your bra size, which ranges typically from 32 to 40 inches, a particular
brand can even grow up to a size 44. This number measures your ‘under bust’ – the spot under the
breasts where your bra band lies. The wider your under bust, the higher your number of band size will
be. It’s a common misconception to think that band size has something to do with the volume of your
breasts, and it doesn’t. It just corresponds to your dress size.

Cup size is a letter after your band size. Cup sizes are measured alphabetically, A through F. Some
brands design cup sizes that are smaller than A-cup, such as AA, which is an excellent alternative for
teens looking for a first bra. The cup size refers to your breast size concerning the size of your
ribcage, which brings us to a conclusion that your cup size corresponds to your band size, so as the
band size gets bigger, the cup gets larger accordingly. Consequently, a 34C bra has bigger cups than a
32C. So if you need a smaller band size, you have to choose larger cup size if you want the same
volume in the cup. For example, a 36C bra has the same cup size as a 34D bra. So don’t get too
obsessed with your cup size, in reality, it’s almost unimportant without the band size.
If you want your cup sizes stay the same and fit similar, try to go down 1 band size, but up 1 cup size
– voila, the letter sizes are different but perfect fitting will surely stun you. And vice versa – going up
a band size and down a cup size, will guarantee that the cup size stays the same.

The difference between one cup size letter and the next one is always 1 inch. But this rule works only
if the band size is the same. No matter whether it is a 34B and 34C, or 36D and 36E – the difference
between both sets of cup sizes is 1 inch.

Remember that every bra is designed individually, so you’ll never find 2 fitting exactly the same. No
matter what the letter on the tag is, your bra size would change depending on the brand and design.
Once you figure out these simple bra size rules, you’ll never fail to choose right bra size and will look
fabulous in all your clothes.

Is There Good Sex In Marriage? 6 Must Know’Sexrets’

We often say that sex disappears after marriage. A loss of sexual activity can happen to anyone. A
natural response you may have heard may sound like “No sex? Meh… It happens to everyone after
marriage”. Everything is in your hands and just as you work out your wedding routine, you have
control over your sexual life. With just a bit of effort, you can get that spark of passion that starts
fading away.

SEXercise More!
Sex quality depends on your body shape and overall health. No one wants to have sex when they feel
fatigue or have back pain, or can hardly take themselves to the kitchen. If you want to keep your sex
drive high, you should keep fit. Physical exercises will boost your energy. Stretching is ideal before
trying new positions. Jogging will help you control your breath. Work-out with your partner – the
very sight of your sweaty bodies and stretchy pants will raise the heat, and keep your training going
in the bedroom.

Ever Sexted?
Yes, you don’t have to be a teen to sext. Though you may think it’s a silly thing to do, statistics
shows that almost one-third of married people have sent sexy messages or emails. Why don’t you try
it with your significant other? Your hubby will be pleasantly surprised if you send a risky photo of
you followed by an intriguing message. However, don’t cross the line in sexting. Do not sext while at
work as it can put you or your spouse in an awkward situation. Do not cross the boundary – you know
each other’s preferences and morals. Finally, do not save your sexts…just in case.

Be Initiative
Usually, married couples do not have sex – or have sex rarely when each of the partners is waiting for
the other one to start. Each day something can be an excuse – bad weather, bad feelings, hard day at
work, too late, friends invited for dinner… Remember that 42% of married men want their partner to
initiate more. So you don’t have to be shy or hesitant. Initiate sex. Let your husband know he is hot
and you want him in the spur of the moment. That feeling turns them on more than anything else.

Talk Sex with Each Other

Usually, you discuss sex when you start dating and want to know more about your partner. After you
are married, you may think you know each other well enough, and there is nothing to talk about.
Wrong! There is always something to say! Your partner may want to try something new. You may
have been too embarrassed to talk about something previously, but now as you get closer, you may
discuss taboos. Things change, and it’s good to discuss sex with your spouse to be sure you get the
most of it and you are both satisfied. If you don’t know how to start a conversation try some ice-
breakers like writing your questions on pieces of paper and answering them one by one. ‘Would You
Rather’ is another one to play when you’re learning about intimate preferences.

Dress up for Sex

Do you still sleep in pajamas? PJs are usually sweet and cute – anything but sexy. Your husband does
not see your femininity if you are dressed in cotton onesies. Want to have great sex? Forget about
PJs. Leave them for PJ parties with friends. Try to sleep naked and feel each other’s bodies. Try a
silky nightgown or lingerie. See what works better for you and what turns him on.

Sexperiment
To make your sex better, you should not be afraid of sexperiments. Not everything will work for you,
but you will make your sexual life more various and full of excitement. Try to role play so that you
can forget that you’ve been married for years and get excited with your new selves. Experiment with
positions and locations. Watch erotic videos together to get some ideas for positions. Also, don’t
forget the good old quickies. Men are usually turned on by the element of spontaneity. Quick sex in
unpredictable spots? Sounds like an adventure!
My hubby got ROCK HARD and I got totally aroused
when he just looks at me!!! And love making lasted for 2
hours ...

Hi guys! You might remember my post where I whined about my husband failing to perform? He
wouldn't get started at all, even with a blow or hand job, or he would come in just 1—3 minutes.

At first I was like: OK, where do all those adult film dudes get their stamina — we tried everything
you can think of, from Viagra and other boner pills to yoga or that tantric thing. Bullshit — his
manhood remained limp, sex didn't last more than a couple of minutes.

In about 6 months I gave up. I decided that's his genes and his physical condition, and there's
nothing to do about it. After all, I can't say I wanted him as before, knowing all will end up in
nothing, I won't be satisfied, he'll be upset. I felt my boyfriend was totally losing confidence.
Help came when I expected it no more ...
I came across an interview with James Deen of Brazzers, where he said any man can perform for up
to 2 hours. That's something I'm interested in, I thought. According to James, he's using special
natural extractions — horny goat, wild yam, Corean ginseng, lycorice root, potency wood, oyster
shell extracts — all in a harmless herbal pill which you can buy without prescription. This complex
herbal medicine boosts sex hormone production and gives you a stiffie of a 17-years old and an
endurance of a adult film star.

James recommended original ManPowerX pills with TRTT technology he's using, so I found their
website on the net and decided to make an order. I was really surprised that they do COD Delivery
with Discreet Packaging so without hesitating I placed my order since I had almost nothing to worry
about my privacy.

What is the result?

The pills arrived soon, and I couldn't wait for us to go to bed — before he fell asleep, I gave him a pill
saying that it is just a vitamin. In less than an hour my boyfriend woke up with a rock hard super
stiff erection, and will you believe me when I say we banged for 1 hour and 47 minutes! Atomic
pleasure, lots of sweat and screaming — a perfect ride, the best I've ever had. I did expect some
improvement, but this was a man I never knew before.

The website says these pills should also boost my better half's libido size, and that's what we're going
to check in a couple of weeks. Well, I still find it hard to believe that herbs can work better than
Viagra — and all for a price of two movie tickets and without any stupid prescription. I find the effect
worth every penny (I already ordered three more packs) — life is short, and I'm not the kind of girl
that scrimps on pleasures.

My husband says that ManPowerX has also improved his overall physical performance. He feels
stronger, and I can tell, because his muscles are bigger and he has a lot more endurance. He's
getting better looking by the day. I thought only one part of him would grow ;) , not that I'm
comlpaining, though. He's a lot happier, so I'm happy for him. His confidence is super high too; these
pills are definitely worth every penny I paid.

So I can definitely recommend these amazing ManPowerX pills for anyone who wants to improve
their sexual experience.

9 Things Men Do When They Are Interested In You

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to read other people’s minds? Here are 9 essential signs that
will always help you find out if the guy is trying to flirt with you.

We cannot teach you read his mind, but we are capable of teaching you to read his body language
which is quite efficient. Check out the following 9 signs telling that the man is really keen on you.

1. The closer the better!

The more often you notice the guy around you the better. This happening only when he is really into
you. Indeed, why would someone who is indifferent to you want to see, hear you or simply be noticed
by you? If you also find him attractive, let him know by flirting back, smiling or just saying a friendly
“hi”.

2. Eye contact
This is something that you cannot rely on 100%. Nevertheless, pay attention to it. There is no need to
avoid eye contact if you like the person. During a conversation this merely means that you are
listening to the person and that you are fully focused on what he is saying. If you noticed that eye
contact lasts longer, then the guy is likely to be genuinely interested in you. On the other hand, a short
eye contact can be as expressive as a long one. It all depends on the person’s temperament and
character. Some guys might like you a lot although their eye contact will be rather short.
3. Hands on hips
Do not ignore his posture. If his thumb is in the belt loop or he prefers to hold his hands on the hips,
then he is certainly interested in you. This kind of posture tells a lot about the guy’s temperament and
character. Such signs are typical of very self-confident people. Some ladies do not find it attractive at
all, though, and interpret it rather impolite and sometimes even rude or offensive.

4. A flirting touch
It’s absolutely normal if you notice that from time to time he gently touches you. It means that he
needs even more of your attention. Did you enjoy his touch? If yes, then, then continue
communication. You can even touch him back. Make him feel wanted and show him that you are also
attracted to him.

5. Raised eyebrows
Less courageous guys usually hide their eyes when they are around the girls they like. This is quite
natural and even charming. But if his eyes open wide and his eyebrows raised, this can be interpreted
in one way only: he is definitely into you. Watch for this sign during your conversation.

6. His warm-hearted and sincere smile

A smile is by all means a positive sign. Smile back at him and let him approach you. This will make
your very first contact friendly and warm. Please do not be shy and come up to him first if you like
him. Expressing your friendliness first is never impolite. A small talk about this and that to break the
ice is also a good idea. Be yourself! Be simple, polite, and down-to-earth. This will help to release the
tension between your potential boyfriend and you. Do people consider you a tough nut to crack?
What we suggest is that you leave your ambitions and attitude for a while. Finally, always keep in
mind that you will never get a second chance to make a first impression.

7. Head Tilts
Some girls might not even know about that, but head tilts tell a lot! The way he tilts his head can
mean that he is all ears and wants to hear every word you say. That’s a good sign. If the guy does is
not fully involved in the conversation, then he is probably not as impressed by you as you would like.
Being a good listener is a rare quality, especially if we are talking about men. Enjoy being listened to
by someone who likes you and appreciates you as a person who is interesting to talk and listen to.
8. Avoiding Eye Contact
Does the guy you are with avoid eye contact? No worries! He is hiding his eyes just because he is
shy. It does not mean that he isn’t happy to see you. On the contrary, he adores you. This is what
would happen to any one of us if we met someone we idealize, worship, and appreciate. Being around
someone you have got a crush on isn’t easy. All you can do is to make him feel comfy. Be friendly
and polite to him. That’s all.

9. Mirroring technique
Mirroring means repeating movements of the person you are with. They way they talk, walk, smile,
etc. Have you noticed that he copies some certain actions you do? That’s fine. Be understanding and
realize that he cannot control what is usually done unconsciously. Some of the most advanced dating
sites suggest mirroring technique because they find it quite effective and helpful. It’s pleasant to have
someone who is so much into you that they even copy you. It is said that copying is the ultimate form
of flattery!
Next time you go on a date watch out for the 9 signs we have described above because they will be of
great help while trying to get to know another person. Do share your own flirting techniques. How do
you let others know you are flirting with them?

Save Your Sex Life With A Natural, Drug-Free
Way To Cure Erectile Dysfunction

When it gets to the point where you can’t even remember the last time that you had sex because of
erectile dysfunction, you need to get help. But what if you don’t want to spend thousands of dollars
on prescription drugs with a ton of side effects, or don’t feel comfortable going to your GP? Erectile
Dysfunction Protocol says it has a guaranteed way to cure this oh-so common problem naturally.

Before we get into the details of this revolutionary approach to erectile dysfunction, or ED, we should
probably address some of the anxieties that anyone reading this with ED might be feeling right now.
ED can make men feel as if they don’t count anymore, robbed of everything that makes them men. It
is embarrassing to talk about, embarrassing to get help for, and even more embarrassing to reveal to a
sex partner. But the truth is that many men who suffer from ED give up trying to have sex, knowing
that they will not be able to perform, trying to avoid the disappointment. Because of this, ED, though
not life threatening on a physical level, causes men deep psychological harm, leading to feelings of
worthlessness, anger, and chronic depression.

Given the seriousness of the problem, there are treatments for erectile dysfunction.

The medical industry has manufactured several solutions to the problem of ED. You may have heard
of some of them: Viagra, Cialis, Levitra or low-T therapy. Through highly visible ad campaigns these
treatments have come to dominate the way people believe ED can be treated. However, what the ads
won’t tell you about are the terrible side-effects. From heart disease, nerve damage, and bleeding in
the lungs, to brain clots, seizures and even death, the side-effects are simply too dangerous to risk
using pharmaceutical ED treatments.

So if the answer isn’t upping your testosterone levels with over-the-counter supplements, or highly-
priced pills like Viagra, what can men with ED do to get help? They can try a natural way to cure
erectile dysfunction that won’t cost them thousands and thousands of dollars.

Erectile Dysfunction Protocol is a natural, safe alternative to risky prescription ED treatments.

By using your diet to trigger a select combination of amino acids, enzymes, proteins, and other
organic chemicals that all contribute to your ability to sustain an erection, Erectile Dysfunction
Protocol makes it possible to achieve rock hard erections again. What’s even better is that you can get
all the ingredients you need on an ordinary trip to the supermarket.

Getting these natural components for your body to work properly won’t just reverse the effects of ED
and give you your sex life back, it will make you live a healthier, longer life. Even men who don’t
have ED can give their sex life an added boost by using Erectile Dysfunction Protocol’s food lists,
combination guide, and portion control, to learn how to get harder erections than they’ve ever had
before.

How to Talk Dirty to Him And Spice Up Your
Love Life

Dirty talk.
You know guys love it. You know it’s a fabulous way to turn your man on both in and out of the
bedroom.

But how do you do it?

I mean how do you talk dirty without the fear of feeling awkward, embarrassed, or worse? How can
you still be a “good girl” while expressing your naughty side without the fear and worry of being
called a slut or suddenly having your man break out in laughter because you sound like a cute school
girl saying a bad word for the first time, instead of the sexy seductress or erotic goddess you’re trying
to be?

Enter, the Language of Desire by Felicity Keith and Michael Fiore, the new erotic training program
that teaches women how to talk dirty and fire up their sex lives.

Most men find women who talk dirty to them in bed irresistible. Just one whispered word in his ear
can turn a guy rock hard in an instant. The problem is that not every woman knows what to say, while
others may feel way too embarrassed to talk dirty. A woman might find herself completely speechless
if a guy asks her to say something sexy, ruining the moment.

Talking dirty isn’t easy for anyone. But it’s a scientific fact that the biggest erogenous zone is the
mind. If you can turn him on mentally, you can turn him on in bed. Language of Desire can teach you
how to make your man feel sexier, more attracted to you, and please you better.

Felicity Keith created Language of Desire after she found out firsthand how a few spoken words
could transform a sex life. She isn’t the kind of person you’d expect would write sex advice, like a
sex worker, or a sex therapist. She’s just your average mom who has a great sex life in a committed
relationship. Language of Desire is based on everything that she learned about how to make her lover
full of desire for her—something every woman deserves from their partners.

If you’ve ever felt a man pull away, lose interest or suddenly stop chasing or seducing you and didn’t
know why or what to do…

Or…

If you feel like you never get what YOU need in bed from any guy you date, then you must watch
this eye-opening video right now.

Here’s the truth from Felicity that has me floored: To get a man to be focused on you and only you
(so he can’t even THINK about other women) and so he craves and desires you constantly all you
have do is ____________.

Can you fill in the blank? I’d tell you but I’d feel like I was stealing Felicity’s amazing insight… or
the crazy results her discovery have created…

Go watch the video now…

P.S. You might be a little upset when you first hear Felicity’s story… I know a lot of women can
relate to it… but when you hear what she learned from it… and how it’s going to change your life
forever you’ll be grinning ear to ear.

5 Ways To Prevent Premature Ejaculation And Last
Longer In Bed…
– Contributed by – Jack Graves, Men’s Health expert and author of multiple books on helping men
improve their sex, dating and relationship lives.

2 Minutes and it’s over? Lasting longer in bed is only a matter of practice & technique.

We’ve all been working under a completely false assumption. The idea that women are less interested
in amazing, mind-blowing sex than men is a relic of Puritan and Victorian social standards, but
nonetheless persists. Well, it’s just not true; society lied to us. Throw away all those rumors and
whispered ideas you’ve heard about women not wanting sexual pleasure. They’re nonsense.

Women not only love sex as much, if not more, than men – a powerful, masculine lover is probably
what every women desires most!

While we’ve been told that for a women, sex is low on the priority list, it’s actually a very powerful
experience for most women. Speaking in generalities, sex for men is a largely physical experience,
while for women it’s much more: the most powerful way she can connect both physically and
emotionally. It’s an opportunity for submission, total femininity and of course, sexual pleasure and
orgasm. The right lover allows a woman to submit while feeling secure, let go of inhibitions, embrace
her femininity and similarly celebrate his masculinity.
Any guy who can fulfill this role and give a woman wild, passionate, animal sex – has got her
wrapped around his finger. The power of sexual fulfillment is so strong that even if you treat a
woman badly – she’ll keep coming back for the sexual experience. We all have seen women behave
like puppy dogs around the most abusive, disrespectful men. Ever wonder why?

Reversely, without the earth-shaking sexual experience that a women craves on an instinctual level, a
woman will feel un-satisfied, distant and cheated. This explains why even the kindest, sweetest
boyfriend will end up being dumped or denied sex completely.

The best thing you can do right now to upgrade your sex game is to enhance the tool you’re working
with. Your male organ needs to be able to give a woman the multiple, explosive orgasms that will
keep her coming back. If you have trouble getting or keeping an erection, you’re playing a losing
game.

In this article I want to share with you 5 ways to prevent premature ejaculation and last longer in bed.

If you’ve ever been disillusioned into thinking that there’s nothing you can do to prevent premature
ejaculation, then hopefully this article will change your mind.

The truth is that there are many ways to prevent premature ejaculation, and being able to last longer
in bed is something that lies within your control!

So let me go ahead and share with you 5 powerful strategies for preventing premature
ejaculation and lasting longer in bed:

Take Some Deep Breaths

A lot of men when it comes to sex can get very nervous and fearful of premature ejaculation. As a
result, they get all tense, sweaty and start taking lots of short, sharp and shallow breaths.

Unfortunately, this is a great recipe for premature ejaculation. So next time you find your nerves
kicking in, take 10 slow deep breaths and just watch how you suddenly become a lot more relaxed
and last longer too.

Become James Bond

Another way to get rid of your nerves and prevent premature ejaculation is to change your thoughts.
If you’re constantly worrying about how bad it’s going to be if you orgasm too soon then you’re
bound to make yourself nervous and actually end up making it happen.

On the other hand, if you spend your time thinking like James Bond would think, i.e. seeing yourself
in control, just enjoying the moment and not stressing about anything, then you’ll have no nerves to
encourage premature ejaculation.

Urinate Before Sex

This is a dead simple way to prevent premature ejaculation, but it’s one that men forget about time
and time again. Don’t be like most other men.

Remember to go to the bathroom before having sex. By doing this you take the pressure off your
genitals and lasting longer will come naturally.

Stroke The Roof Of Your Mouth With Your Tongue

OK, I know what you’re thinking. This one is a bit “out there”, but at the end of the day this
technique works.

By stroking the roof of your mouth you’ll find that by putting all your attention into doing this weird
thing you distract yourself from all the pleasure in your genitals, this distraction is a great way of
getting your control back in the bedroom and lasting longer.

Go For A Second Round

If all else fails, just go for a second round. Women care a lot less than you probably think about
premature ejaculation. And this is especially true if you take the time to come back for a second
round when you can really pleasure her.

So if you ejaculate early don’t worry about it too much. You can always just learn from your mistakes
and go for a second round… I’m sure she’ll thank you for it. So there are 5 ways to prevent premature
ejaculation, use them wisely.

These 5 Tips are just a start… I’ve written dozens of tips like these, check out my cool video, which I
have just posted online. It contains loads of tips and moves on how to last longer in bed.

Using these tricks and hacks, you’ll be lasting 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes – or even longer
(depending on how much you practice) – leaving your partner begging for more!

You will find out how to finally end your premature ejaculation fears once and for all.
So if you’ve ever felt embarrassed about ejaculating too quickly, or not being able to last as long as
your partner…

Or if you suffer from ejaculating even BEFORE penetration, you need to know that ignoring the
problem only makes it worse.

This is a way to make sex last for as long as YOU want it to!

Anyone can master this, and once you do, you will be able to control your orgasms, and ejaculate
when… and ONLY when YOU want to.
