Kegel exercises (PC muscle exercise)- vaginal tightening exercises

Kegel exercises (PC muscle exercise)- vaginal tightening exercises
A tight vagina is what every woman worth her salt craves for. Having had children or generally having weak vaginal muscles lead to an unhappy sex life. Therefore she would like to know ways and means of tightening her vagina, without going in for surgery.

There are vaginal tightening exercises which one can learn. Called the Kegel exercises, by incorporating them into your fitness regime, you’ll make sure that your vagina stays strong and tight for years to come. You may be thinking that vaginal muscles are the same as the PC muscle or Pubococcygeus. But that’s not true.

When you do vaginal tightening exercises, you will not only be working out your PC muscle, but you will be working out all of the other muscles in the pelvic cavity as well. This will prevent conditions such as stress urinary incontinence, which results when the muscle that supports the urethra becomes too weak to prevent urine from leaking when you laugh, cough or sneeze.

Much better sex
Vaginal exercises will make your PC muscle exceptionally strong and powerful. This means that when you have an orgasm, it will be far more intense than you ever thought possible.

Some of us really don’t know that we have such muscles, in the first place. But when you start exercising, you will become extremely aware of them while having sex.

For your man
Since you are the one who is having toe-curling orgasms, what does your lover get out of it? Well, he gets a lot! For one, you develop incredible control over this muscle. Number two, when you are making out, you can now tease and torture your guy with the help of this muscle. Clamp down on his member and slowly massage him to climax. It works each and every time, and it never gets old!

A significant part of any relationship is sex, and tightening your vagina will ensure that your sex is always intense and pleasurable!

Magnets cures depression

Magnets cures depression

Magnets may cure depression in people who have not responded earlier to drugs, a new study has said.

A research team from Medical University of South Carolina, US, has revealed that people who had magnets attached to their heads to activate certain parts of the brain were more likely to report relief from depression than those treated with a similar device without a magnet.

The study involved 190 people, of which just under half were randomly assigned to receive the transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy. These people had to wear a helmet like device that applied a magnetic current to the front section of their brain for around 37 minutes a day for three weeks.

The others wore the same helmet for the same duration but the magnetic field was blocked.

The findings revealed 14 percent of those who received the real magnetic treatment reported relief from depressive symptoms, compared with five percent who received the sham treatment.

"The results of this study suggest that prefrontal repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation is a monotherapy with few adverse effects and significant antidepressant effects for unipolar depressed patients who do not respond to medications or who cannot tolerate them," Dr Mark George, lead author of the research, was quoted as saying by telegraph.co.uk.

Cholesterol Control and Sources

Cholesterol Control and Sources

We’ve all heard about cholesterol at some point in our lives — why too much of it is a cause for concern and how one should keep it in check. But how many of us know what exactly it is? Interventional Cardiogialist, Dr Rajiv G Bhagwat says that cholesterol is of two types — good cholesterol and bad cholesterol.

“Cholesterol is a vital part of our bodies and cell structure. High cholesterol in the blood and an injury to the arterial wall begins the process of block formation, which is called cholesterol plaques. This progress can be gradual or rapid and causes narrowing of arteries leading to cardiovascular and other diseases. Sources of good cholesterol include salmon, tuna, walnut, almond and moderate consumption of wine/alcohol has been found to raise the levels of good cholesterol in some people. Sources of bad cholesterol are meat, prawns, egg yellow, mangoes and fried food. The ideal balance is to have low levels of bad cholesterol and high levels of good cholesterol,” he says.

Diagnosis
Go for regular medical check-ups. Know your family history — have your parents had any sort of heart diseases or diabetes? Preferably go to a doctor who is aware of your family history and treatment modalities.

Cardiothoriac surgeon, Dr Arun Mehra says that cholesterol comes from the Greek word chole, meaning bile, and the Greek word stereos, meaning solid, stiff. “Cholesterol is a fat (lipid), which is produced by the liver and crucial for normal body functioning. It builds and maintains cell membrane. Cholesterol exists in the outer layer of every cell in our body and has many functions. Without it, the human body couldn't survive. It is excreted by the liver via the bile into the digestive tract. Typically about 50 per cent of the excreted cholesterol is re-absorbed by the small bowel back into the bloodstream.

“The main causes of high cholesterol include nutrition (food that is high
in saturated fats include red meat, some pies, sausages, hard cheese, pastry, cakes, most biscuits, cream etc), sedentary lifestyle, being overweight, smoking and alcohol, diabetes, high blood pressure (hypertension), kidney and liver diseases, under-active thyroid gland, genes (people with close family members who have had a coronary heart disease, stroke, high cholesterol or high blood lipids have a greater risk of high blood cholesterol levels), sex (men have a greater chance of having high blood cholesterol levels than women), age (as you get older your chances of developing atherosclerosis increase) or early menopause. High cholesterol levels can cause higher coronary heart disease risk, heart attacks, angina and other cardiovascular conditions, strokes or ministrokes,” he says.

What you can do
Doing plenty of exercise, eating adequate fruits, vegetables, whole grains, oats, good quality fats, avoiding foods with saturated fats, getting plenty of sleep (eight hours each night), bringing your body weight back to normal, avoiding excess alcohol and smoking are essential. If your cholesterol levels are still high after doing everything mentioned above, your doctor may prescribe a cholesterol-lowering drug.

Dr. Vijay Surase, Interventional Cardiologist says that cholesterol is required for the functioning of the all the vital organ systems and various bodily metabolisms. “Some individuals even in their teens have high levels of cholesterol due to familial/genetic disorders, putting them in a crisis situation of a heart attack at a young age. If so, these youngsters should abide by a strict lifestyle with controlled eating habits, sleeping, exercise and limiting stress levels. They should also periodically look to get health check-ups or screenings.

Taking up consultation with a speciality doctor on this issue helps reduce the risk of major problems like heart attacks and strokes. For those who have been diagnosed with this kind of disease, they are required to take medication and follow up with their doctors for their entire lives. Those who undergo angioplasty, bypass surgery or suffer from strokes should monitor their cholesterol levels regularly and abide by the instructions of taking cholesterol lowering drugs. Individuals who are put on medication should know that these medicines are safe to have even for a lifetime and aren’t harmful if taken under the supervision of a doctor,” says Dr Surse.

Milk after weight lifting Helps tone muscles

Milk after weight lifting Helps tone muscles

Two glasses of milk a day after weight-lifting routine helps tone muscles and keep the fat off in women, claims a new study.

"Resistance training is not a typical choice of exercise for women," says Stu Phillips, professor in the Department of Kinesiology at McMaster University. "But the health benefits of resistance training are enormous: It boosts strength, bone, muscular and metabolic health in a way that other types of exercise cannot."

A previous study conducted by Phillips' lab showed that milk increased muscle mass and fat loss in men. This new study, says Phillips was more challenging because women not only steer clear of resistance training they also tend to steer away from dairy products based on the incorrect belief that dairy foods are fattening.

"We expected the gains in muscle mass to be greater, but the size of the fat loss surprised us," says Phillips. "We're still not sure what causes this but we're investigating that now. It could be the combination of calcium, high-quality protein, and vitamin D may be the key, and. conveniently, all of these nutrients are in milk.

Over a 12-week period, the study monitored young women who did not use resistance-training exercise.

Every day, two hours before exercising, the women were required not to eat or drink anything except water. Immediately after their exercise routine, one group consumed 500ml of fat free white milk; the other group consumed a similar-looking but sugar-based energy drink. The same drinks were consumed by each group one hour after exercising.

The training consisted of three types of exercise: pushing (e.g. bench press, chest fly), pulling (e.g. seated lateral pull down, abdominal exercises without weights), and leg exercises (e.g. leg press, seated two-leg hamstring curl). Training was monitored daily one on one by personal trainers to ensure proper technique.

"The women who drank milk gained barely any weight because what they gained in lean muscle they balanced out with a loss in fat" said Phillips. "Our data show that simple things like regular weightlifting exercise and milk consumption work to substantially improve women's body composition and health." Phillips'' lab is now following this study up with a large clinical weight loss trial in women.

The McMaster study appears in the June issue of Medicine and Science in Sport and Exercise.

E cigarette - Smoke Everywhere without Smoke

E cigarette - Smoke Everywhere without Smoke

E cigarette is coming as the solutions for the smokers in this person in take is vapour instead of smoke. Its a safe and Electronic cigarettes don't contain tar, other chemicals; only liquid nicotine, Its a tobacco free and smoke free smoking and you can smoke everywhere in plane, office, hotls and everywhere you like.

Smoking Dangers - injurious to health

Smoking Dangers - injurious to health

You must have heard this innumerable times - smoking kills, smoking is injurious to health, smoking is for losers, et al. Why is it then that millions of people across the globe have no qualms about lighting up a cigarette and going through (sometimes) several packs a day? Smoking kills 900,000 people every year in India. “It is common knowledge that cigarette smoking is the single major cause of cancer and cardiovascular diseases, contributing to hundreds of thousands of premature deaths each year, yet so many people continue to smoke and chew tobacco.

Nicotine found in tobacco products is widely considered to be a powerfully addicting drug. Its rapid absorption through the lungs of cigarette smokers is widely-accepted, but its equally ready absorption through the oral mucosa under alkaline conditions normally found in cigar, pipe and smokeless tobacco use is less publicised,” he says. Once in the blood stream, of course, nicotine acts on the central nervous and cardiovascular systems in identical fashion regardless of the method of absorption.

tobacco contains over 4,000 harmful, toxic substances. “Tobacco has been implicated in the etiology of a number of cancers - lung, cheek, tongue, oesophagus, larynx, stomach, uterine cervix, urinary bladder, and some forms of leukemia. Smoking increases coronary atherosclerosis, coronary artery spasms, cholesterol levels and reduces oxygen carrying capacity and acts in a number of ways on the respiratory passages that leads to bronchitis. Smokers are more prone to chest infections and pneumonia. There is also a definite association between smoking and low birth weight babies and an increased incidence of prematurity, spontaneous abortions, still births and neonatal deaths,” he says.

It slows your blood flow, cutting off oxygen to your feet and hands. Changing to low-tar cigarettes doesn’t help because smokers usually take deeper puffs and hold the smoke in for longer, dragging the tar deeper into their lungs. Carbon monoxide robs your muscles, brain and body tissue of oxygen, making your body and your heart work harder. Over time, your airways swell and let less air into your lungs,”


Diseases it causes
There is no such thing as a safe cigarette. It doesn’t matter if it is a light or ultra light; the effects are the same.
Smoking and tobacco cause chronic lung diseases, heart attacks, strokes, different types of cancers, blood and oral cavity, erectile dysfunction, cataracts and gum infections. Smoking also contributes to hip fractures due to reduced bone density, higher incidence of post surgical wound infections and problems conceiving. Tobacco stains teeth, causes bad breath and decreases the ability to smell and taste. Those who use smokeless tobacco, such as chew or use snuff, are likely to develop diseases of the mouth, including cancer of the mouth and gums.

Second hand smoke
Secondhand smoke - the smoke breathed out by smokers and the smoke from the burning end of a cigarette, cigar, or pipe - has twice as much nicotine, and five times the carbon monoxide, as the smoke that is inhaled. Passive smoking is harmful and non-smokers living with smokers have about 25 per cent chance of a heart attack and more likely to suffer a stroke.
