Look, dating isn’t easy. And finding a compatible partner has a 
lot more to do with blind luck than real persistence. But let’s be 
honest, it’s also not as hard as people make it out to be. <br>
<br>
If
 you listen to your gut, use common sense, and most importantly, use 
those things called words, you can avoid a lot of game-playing, pick-up 
artistry and time wasting. <br>
So, if you really want to know whether
 the man you’re seeing/shagging/Tindering/etc. is into you, ask him. 
Life is not an episode of Sex and the City and Carrie Bradshaw can’t 
solve your dating problems for you. <br>
If you are really too shy to 
ask, or you’re afraid of what you’ll hear, or you’re worried that you 
might scare him off, there are a few behavioural clues that can give you
 insight on what he’s thinking. <br>
But if you built a two or three 
bedroomed castle with a white picket fence in the air after four dates, 
and no proper conversations, don’t blame me when things go awry. Love is
 not an actual science. Yet. <br>
<br>
<strong>1. He introduces you to his people </strong><br>
This
 one is pretty obvious.<br>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Pack away the flannel pajamas: A handful of studies and surveys show sleeping n-a-k-e-d could actually be good for you. Six reasons why you should consider it:</span></div>

<img alt="Sleeping in Nude - Health & fitness" height="225" src="http://a57.foxnews.com/images.foxnews.com/content/fox-news/health/2015/01/29/6-reasons-why-should-sleep-in-nude/_jcr_content/par/featured-media/media-1.img.jpg/876/493/1427436599047.jpg?ve=1&tl=1" title="" width="400" /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>You may like your partner more:</b> A 2014 survey of Brits by Cotton USA (which promotes cotton products that likely include both pajamas and sheets) found that 57 percent of those who slept n-u-d-e reported being happy in their relationship.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">That was 9 percentage points more than PJ wearers, followed by 43 percent of nightie wearers. Onesie wearers—they apparently exist—brought up the rear at 38 percent, per the Daily Mail.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>It could help prevent diabetes:</b> It's a bit of a stretch, but here's the logic: Adults have small amounts of brown fat (aka "good fat") in their bodies, and a 2014 study looked at how bedroom temperature affected the fat.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The four-month study was small: just five males who slept in rooms heated to 66-, 75-, or 81-degrees. After four weeks spent at the coldest temp, the men had almost twice as much brown fat, and their insulin sensitivity was better, which a researcher says could lower their diabetes risk.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Four weeks at 81 degrees undid all the benefits. Though the New York Times points out the test subjects slept in hospital scrubs, going naked could help prevent overheating.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>It's better for your lady health:</b> Cosmopolitan cites advice from Dr.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Jennifer Landa, who points out that an overly warm environment could spur too much yeast or bacteria to grow in the vaginal area. By passing on PJs, you'll have a better chance of giving air access to the region, preventing infections.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>It's how our ancestors did it:</b> If you're a Paleo-dieter who eats like a caveman, why not sleep like one, too? Neurologist Rachel Salas with the Johns Hopkins Center for Sleep in 2013 told the Wall Street Journal that "back in the cave days," people slept n-a-k-e-d.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It was, in part, a means of protection from predators, and that feeling of safety could be imparted by sleeping similarly in modern day.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>It could be better for the immune system:</b> Mic reports that when skin-on-skin contact occurs, our adrenal glands get a message: lighten up on the production of the stress hormone cortisol.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As one doctor explains, "Cortisol suppresses the immune response." Skin-to-skin contact also increases levels of oxytocin, which can have positive effects on blood pressure and healing, says Salas.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Body temp affects sleep:</b> A 2004 study found that for sleep to "initiate normally," core body temp matters.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Per a researcher, "Studies of sleep onset insomniacs show that they consistently have a warmer core body temperature immediately before initiating sleep, when compared with normal healthy adults."</span></div>

The not So sweet truth about prostate in Men..MUST READ!!

09:23:00 1 Health Advice , Nutition & Diet , Sex & Relationships

<br />
<a href="http://www.cancer.gov/PublishedContent/Images/images/cancer-types/prostate/prostate-illustration-enlarge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="prostate in men" border="0" height="320" src="http://www.cancer.gov/PublishedContent/Images/images/cancer-types/prostate/prostate-illustration-enlarge.jpg" title="" width="297" /></a>                                                                                  Hi ,<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
    I am sharing with you this vital information on Prostate. The topic is misleading. Is prostate strictly for men? Yes, ONLY men have prostate and ONLY men over 40years but the healthcare enlightenment is for everyone. There is no woman who does not know a man 40 years and above – father, uncle, brother, son, friend, neighbor, colleague …  Essentially what I will be doing today is health promotion. Responsible health promotion must provide three things: </div>
<br />
1. Information<br />
2. Reassurance<br />
3. A plan of action. <br />
<br />
Let me start with a background on prostate health. Everyone has a pair of kidneys. The job of the kidney is to remove waste. It is the LAWMA (waste management company) of your body. Everyday your blood passes through the kidney several times to be filtered. As the blood is filtered, urine is formed and stored in a temporary storage tank called the urinary bladder.  If there were to be no urinary bladder, as a man walks on the road, urine will be dropping. Now think of the plumbing work in your house. Think of the urinary bladder as the overhead storage tank. From the storage tank, a good plumber will run pipes to other parts of the house, including the kitchen. God in His wisdom ran pipes from our urinary bladder to the tip of the penis. The pipe is called the urethra. Just below the bladder and surrounding the urethra is a little organ called the prostate gland. <br />
The prostate gland is the size of a walnut and weighs about 20grams. Its job is to make the seminal fluid which is stored in the seminal vesicle. During sexual intercourse, seminal fluid comes down the urethra and mixes with the sperms produced in the testicles to form the semen. So semen technically is not sperm. It is sperm + seminal fluid. The seminal fluid lubricates the sperm.  After age 40, for reasons that may be hormonal, the prostate gland begins to enlarge. From 20 grams it may grow to almost 100 grams. As it enlarges, it squeezes the urethra and the man begins to notice changes in the way he urinate.  If you have a son under 10, if he has a little mischief like we all did at that age, when he comes out to urinate, he can target the ceiling and the jet will hit target. Call his father to do same, wahala dey. His urine stream is weak, cannot travel a long distance and sometimes may come straight down on his legs. So he may need to stand in awkward position to urinate.  Not many men will be worried their urine stream cannot hit the ceiling. Toilets are on the floor and not on the ceiling. But other symptoms begin to show. <br />
<br />

<span style="color: blue;">TERMINAL DRIPPLING:</span><br />
The man begins to notice that after urinating and repacking, urine still drops on his pants. This is the reason why after an older man urinates, he has to ring bell. A younger man simply delivers to the last drop and walks away. Just see an older man coming from the bathroom. Sometimes he may clutch the newspaper closely to hide the urine stains, particularly on plain colored trousers.<br />
<br />

<span style="color: blue;">  HESITANCY </span><br />
At this point you wait longer for the urine flow to start. There are 2 valves that must open for you to urinate – the internal and external sphincters. Both open but because of obstructions in the urethra, you wait long for the flow to start.<br />

<span style="color: blue;">INCOMPLETE EMPTYING </span><br />
You have this feeling immediately after urinating that there is still something left.  As all these things happen, the bladder begins to work harder to compensate for the obstruction in the urethra. The frequency of urination goes up. Urgency sets in. sometimes you have to practically run into the toilet. Nocturia also becomes common. You wake up more than 2 times at night to urinate. Your wife begins to complain.  Men being men may not talk to anyone even at this point. Then the more serious complications start. Stored urine gets infected and there may be burning sensation when urinating.  Stored urine forms crystals. Crystals come together to form stone either in the bladder or in the kidney. Stones may block the urethra. Chronic urinary retention sets in. The bladder stores more and more urine. The size of the bladder is 40 - 60 cl. A bottle of coke is 50cl. As the bladder stores more urine it can enlarge up to 300cl. An overfilled bladder may leak and this leads to wetting / urinary incontinence. Also the volume may put pressure on the kidney and may lead to kidney damage. What may likely bring the man to hospital is acute urinary retention. He wakes up one day and he is not able to pass urine.  Everything I have described above is associated with prostate enlargement, technically called benign prostate hyperplasia.<br />
There are other diseases of the prostate like:<br />
<br />
1. Prostatitis – inflammation of the prostate<br />
2. Prostate cancer – cancer of the prostate.<br />
<br />
This discussion is on prostate enlargement.  I have bad news and good news.  The bad news is that everyman will have prostate enlargement if he lives long enough. The good news is that there are life style changes that can help the man after 40 to maintain optimum prostate health.  Nutrition Look at what you eat. 33% of all cancers, according to the US National Cancer Institute is related to what we eat. Red meat everyday triples your chances of prostate disease. Milk everyday doubles your risk. Not taking fruits / vegetables daily quadruples your risk.  Tomatoes are very good for men. If that is the only thing your wife can present in the evening, eat it with joy. It has loads of lycopene. Lycopene is the most potent natural antioxidant. Foods that are rich in zinc are also good for men. We recommend pumpkin seeds (ugbogulu). Zinc is about the most essential element for male sexuality and fertility.  Men need more zinc than women. Every time a man ejaculates he loses 15mg of zinc. Zinc is also important for alcohol metabolism. Your liver needs zinc to metabolize alcohol. <br />
<br />

<span style="color: blue;"> ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION </span><br />
As men begin to have urinary symptoms associated with prostate enlargement, it is important they look at alcohol consumption. More fluid in means more fluid out.  Drink less. Drink slowly.<br />
<br />

<span style="color: blue;"> EXERCISE </span><br />
Exercise helps build the muscle tone. Every man should exercise. Men over 40 should avoid high impact exercise like jogging. It puts pressure on the knees. Cycling is bad news for the prostate. We recommend brisk walking.<br />
<br />
                                                                   <span style="color: blue;"> SITTING </span><br />
When we sit, two-third of our weight rests on the pelvic bones. Men who sit longer are more prone to prostate symptoms. Do not sit for long hours. Walk around as often as you can. Sit on comfortable chairs. We recommend a divided saddle chair if you must sit long hours.<br />
<br />
                                                                  <span style="color: blue;">DRESSING </span><br />
Men should avoid tight underwear. It impacts circulation around the groin and heats it up a bit. While the physiological temperature is 37 degrees, the groin has an optimal temperature of about 33 degrees. Pant is a no - no for men. Wear boxers. Wear breathable clothing.<br />
<br />

<span style="color: blue;">SMOKING</span><br />
 Avoid smoking. It affects blood vessels and impact circulation around the groin. <br />
<br />

<span style="color: blue;"> SEX </span><br />
Regular sex is good for the prostate.  Celibates are more prone to prostate illness. While celibacy is a moral decision, it is not a biological adaptation. Your prostate gland is designed to empty its contents regularly.<br />
<br />
                                                                       <span style="color: blue;">Thought: </span><br />
<span style="color: red;">You have a moral obligation to share it with others because someone in your friend needs this information.</span>

<div class="txt-justify" style="color: #551818; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Male infertility refers to the inability to impregnate a woman and it’s a very serious issue that needs to be tackled. Here are the likely reasons behind why men can be infertile.<br />
<br />
Excessive Drinking And Smoking<br />
<br />
Excessive alcohol affects the body’s ability to absorb zinc which is a nutrient vital for healthy sperm. Stay away from excessive drinking of alcohol and quit smoking. Smoking damages sperm, making them less likely to fertilize eggs and making the embryos less likely to survive. It increases the concentration of free radicals in the seminal fluid so if you are seeking fertility, try to stop smoking or suspend it for three months because the sperm needs at least much time to be produced from germ cell to full sperm.<br />
<br />
Stress Unattended To<br />
<br />
Being stressed maybe due to overworking and not having enough time to rest and taking medications are inadvertently killing your manhood. Researchers found out that men with anxiety issues tend to have abnormally shaped sperm and sperm with mobility issues. An immobile sperm is useless because they have to swim far to marry an egg for conception. Treat any kind of sickness with urgency and prescribed drugs.<br />
<br />
Over-weight<br />
<br />
Obese and over-weight men are likely to experience infertility. The heavier a man is, the higher the chances of low sperm count. In fact the central cause of infertility is over-weight. Try to maintain good overall height in order to reduce the risk of infertility. Obesity can affect male fertility directly and indirectly. Men who are significantly overweight can suffer alterations in sleep behaviors, sexual behaviors, hormonal profiles, scrotal temperatures and the quality of semen. Scientists believe that in morbidly obese men, gastric bypass surgery and the successful management of hormones can be a helpful intervention in reversing infertility which is directly caused by obesity. Obese males may also suffer from higher than normal levels of estrogen which can change the makeup of the sperm and lead to low testosterone levels.<br />
<br />
Malnutrition<br />
<br />
Not eating nutritious food can cause infertility. Malnutrition lead to deficiencies in certain vitamins, such as vitamin C, folic acid, selenium, and zinc can contribute to male infertility. In addition, when malnutrition leads to being severely underweight. Men may have issues with low sperm counts or diminished sperm quality and motility (the ability to effectively move through the women’s reproductive system and implant into an egg.) Excessive exercise in men, leading to being underweight, may also increase the temperature of a man’s testicles and damage sperm.<br />
<br />
Keeping Phones In Front Pocket<br />
<br />
Keeping mobile phones in the pocket could affect sperm quality. Exposure to cell phone radiation lowers sperm motility by 8% and viability by 9%. This finding is still a controversial one but it would be safer to keep away mobile phones from the pocket as much as possible. Keep your phone out of your trouser pocket, do not text holding your phone at your waist level and never put it close to your penis while sleeping.<br />
<br />
Infections<br />
<br />
Most Infections in the male reproductive organs are caused by sexually transmitted diseases such as staphylococcus and gonorrhea. Men may have infections of the reproductive tract, these may include infections of the prostate (prostatitis), of the epididymis (epididymitis), or of the testis (orchitis). Unless noticeable symptoms occur, these infections can go untreated. Severe infections can cause scarring, blockages or other damage to the male reproductive organs. Medications such as antibiotics can be effective in treating infections of the male reproductive disorders. However, it is important to treat them early to avoid permanent damage. Surgery may be required in cases where infection has resulted in scarring or blockages that affect sperm production and ejaculation.<br />
<br />
Male infertility can also occur when there are problems with ejaculation such as retrograde ejaculation which occurs when the semen is forced back into the bladder, premature ejaculation and erection dysfunction complication from radiation therapy or surgery.</div>

<span style="background-color: yellow;"><strong>MYTH:</strong></span><strong> </strong><strong>Long-term Pill use makes falling pregnant less likely</strong><br />
A study at Copenhagen University Hospital last year found that levels of anti-Mullerian hormone and antral follicles, which predict fertilisation probability, were 19 and 16 per cent lower respectively in Pill users than those not taking a contraceptive pill.</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 9px;">
Ovarian volume was also between 29 and 52 per cent smaller. While they said the changes were likely to reverse after stopping the Pill, researchers suggested testing ovarian reserves three months after stopping the Pill to accurately gauge fertility odds.</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 9px;">
Experts at The Royal Women's Hospital in Melbourne say some practitioners suggest having three normal menstrual cycles after discontinuing the Pill.</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 9px;">
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><strong><br />MYTH:</strong></span> <strong>Skipping your period on purpose is dangerous</strong><br />
If you want to take the Pill continuously to avoid having periods altogether, it's perfectly safe, says Dr Farrell. "People should take the Pill to suit their lifestyle," says Dr Louise Farrell, vice-president of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 9px;">
Bear in mind that it's not foolproof; some people experience breakthrough bleeding and it can stop working after months. For women with a family history of blood clots, smokers and those aged over 35, taking an oestrogen pill does increase the risk of deep vein thrombosis and related conditions, potentially including stroke. If you do wish to puppeteer your periods, ask for a monophasic pill.</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 9px;">
<br />
<strong><span style="background-color: yellow;">MYTH:</span> The Pill causes weight gain</strong><br />
Not according to Dr Farrell, who says that on the contrary, some Pills result in weight loss rather than weight gain. "Psychosomatically, some people imagine they're hungrier on the Pill, so they eat more, which explains why they put on weight."</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 9px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 9px;">
<strong><span style="background-color: yellow;">MYTH:</span> Antibiotics impair birth control</strong><br />
The only antibiotics known to affect how well some hormonal contraceptives work are Rifadin and Rimycin, used to treat serious bacterial infections such as tuberculosis, according to NPS MedicineWise clinical adviser Dr Philippa Binns. She advises extra contraceptive precautions while taking them and for a few days after finishing the course.</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 9px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 9px;">
<strong><span style="background-color: yellow;">MYTH:</span> There's no need for birth control when you're breastfeeding</strong><br />
Statistically, you still have a five per cent chance of getting pregnant while you're fully breastfeeding. If you're combining bottle and breast, conception chances increase. However, taking certain hormonal contraceptives may restrict your milk supply according to the Australian Breastfeeding Association, so choose the mini pill or an IUD like the Mirena when you're breastfeeding instead.</div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 9px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 9px;">
<strong><span style="background-color: yellow;">MYTH:</span> The Pill increases breast cancer risk</strong><br />
There is a slightly increased risk of getting breast cancer if you are on the Pill. However, Dr Farrell says it's incredibly low and more likely in women who are over 45.</div>
<span itemprop="articleBody" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; float: left; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; position: relative; width: 666px;"></span><br />
<div style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 9px;">
"For women who have a history of breast lumps, or women in their 40s, it's best to go and see your GP to find out if you'd be better changing to a low-oestrogen pill or coming off it altogether," she says.</div>
