10 Health Benefits of having S@x!



The secret of a healthy life was far easy than dieting or running on the treadmill. According to experts, having s@x at regular interval can really be useful for your health and can also keep you fit. They also claim that it can improve your immune system, increase your blood circulation and increases your lifespan. As reported by DailyMail, Dr.David Weeks, A clinical neuropsychologist at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, believes the most effective way to keep your modern looks is to maintain an active love life.

Here are 10 health benefits of having s@x:

S@x keeps you looking young:

As per experts people who have s@x three to four times, a week look four and seven years younger. The logic behind this is that s@x is an aerobic form of exercise and it promotes skin rejuvenation. Strong action during s@x means higher levels of oxygen are being pumped around the body making blood flow and nutrients to the skin's surface, according to Daily Mail.

S@x boosts your desire:

“Having s@x will make s@x better and will improve your libido,” says Lauren Streicher, For women, having s@x increases vaginal lubrication, blood flow, and flexibility, she says, all of which make s@x feel better and help you desire more of it.

S@x makes you fit:

Though you wouldn’t decrease all your weight just at once, you can surely burn 100 to 250 calories per hour. S@x also works and exercises the major muscle groups. But you have active s@x every week you can burn 5,000 calories a year. The similar of a 50 mile run at a slow speed, says expert. But having sex most often and going to the gym will help you burn more calories.

S@x decreases your blood pressure:

Many research suggests the link between lower BP and s@x. “One landmark study found that s@xual intercourse specifically (not masturbation) lowered systolic blood pressure,” says Joseph J. Pinzone, MD. He is CEO and medical director of Amai Wellness.


S@x raise your mood:

When a woman reaches the point of orgasm, they release a s@x hormone known as oxytocin. It’s produced by the pituitary gland and oval gland. Oxytocin leads to the generation of emotional feelings which develops a bond between the partners.

S@x keeps you strong:

Did you know S@xual intercourse raises levels of insulin-like growth factors (IGF)? IGF is a hormone that controls the activity of enzymes within those cells responsible for fat metabolism. When higher levels of IGF are released, this helps to break down fatty tissue in the body and promote lean muscle instead, as per DailyMail.

S@x improves your immunity:

Studies have concluded that orgasm can stimulate the immune system. An American study by Dr.Dudley Chapman of Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine reveals that breast cancer sufferers who undergo regular orgasms recovered faster than those who didn't. Orgasm boosts a level of T3 and T4 lymphocyte cells.

S@x reduces stress:

Scientific evidence reveals that orgasm triggers the release of endorphin. It’s a feel-good chemical secreted by a brain that does the work of a painkiller. As a higher level of blood floods during orgasm, it automatically takes away pressure from the brain.

S@x lowers heart attack risk:

A good sex life is good for the heart. Sex also keeps your testosterone and estrogen levels in balance. When either one of it is low one faces heart problems. Hence it is recommended to have s@x at least 3 times a week.

S@x improves your sleep:

 “After orgasm, the hormone prolactin is released, which is responsible for the feelings of relaxation and sleepiness" after s@x

Traffic Noises may Increase your Heart Attack Risk:STUDY



Berlin: Your risk of heart attack may increase by the amount of traffic noise to which you are exposed, according to a new study which found that the threat is greatest with road and rail vehicles sounds and less with aircraft noise. Andreas Seidler from Dresden University in Germany and colleagues evaluated information from legal health insurers on over a million Germans over the age of 40. The addresses of persons living in the Rhine-Main region in Germany were matched exactly to the road, rail, and traffic noise exposure measurements for 2005.
When the analysis was restricted to patients who died of heart attack up to 2014-2015, a statistically significant association was found between noise exposure and the risk of heart attack. Researchers believe the lower risk from aircraft noise can be explained by the fact that, unlike road and rail traffic noise, aircraft noise never remains continuously above 65 Decibels. They also see indications from their analysis that exposure to traffic noise influences not just the genesis, but the course of a heart attack.

Teen Checkups should include Suicide Risk Screening.



Parents and doctors need to recognize “the increasing difficulty of life, especially as a teen,” Shain said. Teen girls are double as likely as boys to attempt suicide, Shain wrote in the treatment recommendations. Boys, however, are three times more likely to succeed at killing themselves. Among teenagers, one in 50 to 100 suicide attempts is successful. Bullying is associated with an enhanced risk for suicide for both victims and perpetrators, Shain noted. While online bullying is a problem unique to teens of this generation, the Internet can also be a source of support that can help teens cope with issues that might contribute to suicidal thoughts, Shain said.
Antidepressant use has become frequently common among teens and may have contributed to a declining suicide rate. But these medications can also contribute to suicidal thoughts. When teens take antidepressants, parents and doctors need to watch for signs of increased anxiety, agitation, aggression, impulsivity, insomnia, irritability or self-destructive behavior. When possible, doctors should also ask about whether firearms are in the home and discuss with parents how guns and resources in the house might contribute to an increased risk of suicide. Doctors should also ask how parents store medications in the home to ensure these are kept in a place where teens can’t get to them. The shortage of psychiatrists and mental health professionals is a difficult problem to tackle, said Dr. Bernard Biermann, An adolescent psychiatry researcher at the University of Michigan’s C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital.
“Access to mental health services is increasingly challenging due to funding cuts, insurance restrictions and other barriers to care,” Biermann, who wasn’t involved in the AAP guidelines, said by email. Teens are also under huge pressure to succeed in school, extracurricular activities, and social settings, Biermann noted. More and more youth are graduating high school with multiple college credits and feel pressure to perform well in sports and other activities. “Adolescence is a time of tremendous stress and it seems like today’s teens have surprisingly high, often unreasonable, expectations for themselves,” Biermann said. “As a result, depression, anxiety and other mental health concerns are increasingly common as are maladaptive behaviors such as substance abuse, self-injury, eating disorders and other forms of unhealthy coping.”

Smartphones may improve emergency heart, Stroke Care: STUDY


Washington: Digital platforms such as mobile devices, social media, visual media and crowd-sourcing have the potential to improve emergency care for cardiac arrests, heart attacks, and strokes, scientists say. Researchers examined scientific studies to evaluate current knowledge on the effectiveness of digital strategies at improving emergency cardiac and stroke care. ‘When seconds count, early recognition of the symptoms of cardiac arrest, heart attack or stroke and quick action can make a huge difference in whether someone lives or dies or has serious complications afterward,’ said Raina Merchant from the University of Pennsylvania in the US.
‘Digital platforms can support existing efforts to educate people about what to do in an emergency. Learning what to do - including how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and recognizing the symptoms of stroke  is something many people can do that can save lives,’ said Merchant. Some studies on digital strategies have shown positive results, such as a Swedish study that used a mobile phone application to alert volunteers within 500 meters of a cardiac arrest victim to respond and start CPR, researchers said.
The study found that 62 percent of the volunteers with the app started CPR, while only 48 per cent of bystanders without the app started CPR. A Japanese study found that when emergency department staff sent pictures of 12-lead electrocardiogrammes (ECGs) via their smartphone to interventional cardiologists for interpretation, the smartphone method shaved 1.5 minutes off the time clinicians needed to diagnose a patient, compared to sending the images via fax. Smartphone apps to view brain images for stroke and FaceTime video conferencing apps to assess stroke patients by a remote neurologist may also be available, researchers said. ‘As many of these interventions are new and emerging, it is an optimal time to conduct rigorous evaluations just as are done for traditional medical therapies and interventions,’ said Merchant.

Couples who shares Housework Equally will Have more S@x !



If doing household duty is something that you’d rather your partner take care of then you really need to throw up your sleeves and start helping them. A recent study has revealed that dividing up housework honestly can actually improve your s@x life. Researchers found that although there  
has been an international drop in the frequency of s@x in relationships, the only couples undergo an increase are those who ‘adhere to an equal division of labor’.
 
When only one person in the relationship does a major share of the housework (or all of it), there is a decrease in the frequency of their s@x sessions. On the other hand, couples who shared housework equally had sex 6.8 times per month on average. The study, which will be published in the Journal of Marriage and Family, has confirmed previous findings that stressed on the important role that housework plays for having a fulfilling marital relationship.

Yoga is Important for every one : Divya Srinivasan



In school, we were frequently called to assemble in the gym to sit on folded blankets or mats, and watch our history teacher instructing us on yoga asanas. Our favorite was savasana, as it made falling asleep to his monotone voice easier and imagine saar’s delight as our breathing level out to a more relaxed pace! We didn’t know how important yoga was for our lifestyle. Even today, with the power of the Internet in our hands, we still don’t know the scope of its healing capabilities. Perceptions are changing — slowly, but the transition is visible. Of course, some challenge the exercise for being too soft or silly-looking with the special clothes and hipster mats, but in the words of Divya Srinivasan, an instructor at Rutland Gate Yoga Studio — “It’s okay to have five good yoga practitioners and 10 non-believers. Yoga is here to stay.” She was part of the International Yoga Day celebration at Covelong Point, along with other yogis, ringing in the fest early and on a weekend.
Joshna Ramakrishnan, who also hosted the yoga session with Divya, says, “We had an early morning beach yoga session, followed by meditation and breakfast. For being so far away from the city, the response was very good.” She adds, “I think Chennai has a long way to go in terms of yoga. I was in Hong Kong the same time last year and there were thousands of people celebrating the day!  People should pay special attention to their health and well-being. Yoga begins in our country, so we should be welcome it even more!” A few places are also holding special and innovative sessions that are bound to be fun! Sarvesh Shashi of Zorba studio is conducting a sweep yoga class at Aqua, The Park. It’s basically yoga on a paddleboard; the same ones used by surfers. “It’s different from normal yoga because it strengthens your core and improves balance. Not just that, knowing that you have successfully participated in such a session makes you more confident!” says Sarvesh. While a lot of awareness has been built, there are many who don’t fully appreciate yoga and it’s defensive power. “It’s not something you start at 45! It should start early, which is why our aim for today is ‘yoga for everyone’, with a special focus on children and young adults,” he adds.

Rohini Manohar, a trainer at Chennai Yoga Studio is conducting sessions and workshops all day. It starts with a session on the Uthandi beach at dawn, in collaboration with Chinmaya Mission. “Then I have a workshop at ITC Chola, where I am teaching the employees desk yoga — basic stretches, breathing exercises and more that you can do at your desk,” she explains. In her eight years as a yogini, it has become the one constant in her life and still remembers last year’s events at Times Square, New York with 30,000 other yogis. “Yoga has been in India for centuries and I wish we wake up to it and respect it as much as the west,” she adds before signing off.
