Studies have shown that s*x is extremely beneficial to our health. S*x activates a variety of neurotransmitters that impact not only our brains but several other organs in our bodies.

The benefits of s*x include:

Lower blood pressure

Better immune system

Better heart health, possibly including lower risk for heart disease

Improved self-esteem

Decreased depression and anxiety

Increased libido

Immediate, natural pain relief

Better sleep

Increased intimacy and closeness to a s*xual partner

Overall stress reduction, both physiologically and emotional

Women, of course, have a variety of different lifestyles, situations, and preferences when it comes to s*x. Fortunately, all women can experience benefits of s*x, no matter their situation.

TIPS TO RELIEVE STRESS CONTINUED

If you have sleep troubles, make sure that you have a quiet, relaxing bedtime routine, listen to soothing music, put clocks away, and stick to a consistent schedule.

9. Keep a journal

Writing down your thoughts and feelings can be a good release for otherwise pent-up emotions. Don't think about what to write — just let it happen. Write whatever comes to mind. No one else needs to read it, so don't strive for perfection in grammar or spelling.
Just let your thoughts flow on paper — or computer screen. Once you're done, you can toss out what you wrote or save it to reflect on later.

10. Get musical and be creative

Listening to or playing music is a good stress reliever because it can provide a mental distraction, reduce muscle tension and decrease stress hormones. Crank up the volume and let your mind be absorbed by the music.
If music isn't one of your interests, turn your attention to another hobby you enjoy, such as gardening, sewing, sketching — anything that requires you to focus on what you're doing rather than what you think you should be doing.

11. Seek counseling

If new stressors are challenging your ability to cope or if self-care measures just aren't relieving your stress, you may need to look for reinforcements in the form of therapy or counseling. Therapy also may be a good idea if you feel overwhelmed or trapped, if you worry excessively, or if you have trouble carrying out daily routines or meeting responsibilities at work, home or school.
Professional counselors or therapists can help you identify sources of your stress and learn new coping tools.

TIPS TO RELIEVE STRESS CONTINUED

5. Connect with others

When you're stressed and irritable, your instinct may be to isolate yourself. Instead, reach out to family and friends and make social connections.
Social contact is a good stress reliever because it can offer distraction, provide support and help you tolerate life's up and downs. So take a coffee break with a friend, email a relative or visit your place of worship.
Got more time? Consider volunteering for a charitable group and help yourself while helping others.

6. Assert yourself

You might want to do it all, but you can't, at least not without paying a price. Learning to say no or being willing to delegate can help you manage your to-do list and your stress.
Saying yes may seem like an easy way to keep the peace, prevent conflicts and get the job done right. But it may actually cause you internal conflict because your needs and those of your family come second, which can lead to stress, anger, resentment and even the desire to exact revenge. And that's not a very calm and peaceful reaction.

7. Try yoga

With its series of postures and controlled-breathing exercises, yoga is a popular stress reliever. Yoga brings together physical and mental disciplines which may help you achieve peacefulness of body and mind. Yoga can help you relax and manage stress and anxiety.
Try yoga on your own or find a class — you can find classes in most communities. Hatha yoga, in particular, is a good stress reliever because of its slower pace and easier movements.

8. Get enough sleep

Stress can cause you to have trouble falling asleep. When you have too much to do — and too much to think about — your sleep can suffer. But sleep is the time when your brain and body recharge.
And the quality and amount of sleep you get can affect your mood, energy level, concentration and overall functioning.

TIPS TO RELIEVE STRESS

1. Get active

Virtually any form of physical activity can act as a stress reliever. Even if you're not an athlete or you're out of shape, exercise can still be a good stress reliever.
Physical activity can pump up your feel-good endorphins and other natural neural chemicals that enhance your sense of well-being. Exercise can also refocus your mind on your body's movements, which can improve your mood and help the day's irritations fade away. Consider walking, jogging, gardening, housecleaning, biking, swimming, weightlifting or anything else that gets you active.

2. Eat a healthy diet

Eating a healthy diet is an important part of taking care of yourself. Aim to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables, and whole grains.
Avoid unhealthy habits
Some people may deal with stress by drinking too much caffeine or alcohol, smoking, eating too much, or using illegal substances. These habits can harm your health.

3. Meditate

During meditation, you focus your attention and quiet the stream of jumbled thoughts that may be crowding your mind and causing stress. Meditation can instill a sense of calm, peace and balance that can benefit both your emotional well-being and your overall health.
Guided meditation, guided imagery, visualization and other forms of meditation can be practiced anywhere at any time, whether you're out for a walk, riding the bus to work or waiting at the doctor's office. You can also try deep breathing anywhere.

4. Laugh more

A good sense of humor can't cure all ailments, but it can help you feel better, even if you have to force a fake laugh through your grumpiness. When you laugh, it not only lightens your mental load but also causes positive physical changes in your body. Laughter fires up and then cools down your stress response. So read some jokes, tell some jokes, watch a comedy or hang out with your funny friends. Or give laughter yoga a try.

*The Surprising Way to Please Your Man (It Doesn't Involve S*x!)*

Believe it or not, there is one thing men care about more than s*x. A new study published in the Archives of S*xual Behavior finds that men care more about cuddling than actually getting it on. Yes, you're reading that...

A new study published in the Archives of S*xual Behavior finds that men care more about cuddling than actually getting it on. Yes, you're reading that right. And the s*x therapists we talked to weren't all that surprised by the news.

"The requirement of touch is hugely important, especially for men," says Lou Paget, certified s*x educator and author of How to Be a Great Lover. "One study found that men require three times more touching compared to women in order to create the same amount of dopamine, a feel-good hormone linked with connection and bonding."

Want to keep your man happy both in and out of the sack? Try these tips:

Give him a FULL-body embrace. Not a gentle, polite, two-point shoulder pat, but a real pressing-up-against-his-body bear hug (from the front or behind will do just fine). "Men have told me they spend their entire lives looking for that person that will touch them they way they love," says Paget. So don't hold back. Cuddle him in a way he won't forget.

Soothing strokes. Ask a family member if there was a type of touch that used to soothe your man when he was growing up. Or better yet, do your own "research" and find what works by trial and error. Some men love having their arms lightly stroked; others crave a woman who plays with their hair or rubs their scalp. This type of touch will already be downloaded in his system as soothing and may be one of the keys to connection for him.

Surprise him with a kiss. Not the standard peck on the lips you duly provide when he gets home from work, but a real, lingering, passionate, 15-second kiss. The trick here is to take him by surprise. Pull him aside when you're in line at the movies, plant one on him before he

BEAUTIFUL LOVE STORY FOR YOU

One day at work, Amanda received a beautiful flower bouquet. In it, she counted 11 flowers and found a short note in it. It was written in beautiful lettering and said:

“My love for you will last until the day the last flower in this bouquet dies.”

The note was from her husband who had gone on a business trip. Unsure as to what to make of the message, she went home in the evening and soaked the flowers with water. One day after another, the flowers became a little less beautiful until they all died. All but one flower. This was the day when she realized that there was one artificial flower in the bouquet that would last forever.

6 Hygiene Tips for Your Eyes

You are here: Home › 6 Hygiene Tips for Your Eyes



There are thousands of cleaning products for every part of your body to make sure that hygiene is an important part of your life, but how often do you think about applying that same hygienic attitude towards your eyes?

Are you taking care of your eyes the way that they deserve to be taken care of?

Here are six tips for keeping your eyes healthy that you can apply to your life right now.



1. Eat Your Carrots

The age-old adage from your parents, “eat your vegetables or you’ll go blind,” wasn’t just a catchy saying to get you to finish your dinner. It’s a scientific fact.

Carrots, along with many other vegetables like spinach, sweet potatoes, and apricots are high in vitamin C which strengthens the carotenoids in your eyes and preserves your vision.



2. Quit Smoking

This may seem like a no-brainer, but smoking negatively affects your eyes as much as any other part of your body.

Smoking enables a significantly higher risk to develop eye conditions like glaucoma and AMD.

Both of these diseases can result in blindness, so if you are a smoker, quitting should be the very first step to preserving the health of your eyes.

3. Limit Screen Time

According to a study done by Penn State University, the average American spends more than 10 hours a day looking at a screen of some kind, whether it be computer, TV, or smartphone:

Staring at the screen for too long can cause:

Irritation of the eyes

Strain

Fatigue

Excessive dryness of the eyes

All of these are counter-productive in the fight to keep your eyes healthy.

The best recommendation to combat these symptoms is to adjust the lighting around you to match that of the screen you’re looking at.

Plus, follow the 20-20-20 rule: For every 20 minutes spent looking at a screen you should focus your eyes on an object 20 or more feet away for 20 seconds.
This will help stretch the muscles in your eyes and keep your eyes from becomin.

The progress is materialising but not until we finally "CHECKMATE MALARIA". But we will get there soon.
More than 1 million children in Ghana, Kenya and Malawi have received one or more doses of the world’s first malaria vaccine, thanks to a pilot programme coordinated by WHO. The malaria vaccine pilots, first launched by the Government of Malawi in April 2019, have shown that the RTS,S/AS01 (RTS,S) vaccine is safe and feasible to deliver, and that it substantially reduces deadly severe malaria.

These findings paved the way for the historic October 2021 WHO recommendation for the expanded use of RTS,S among children living in settings with moderate to high malaria transmission. If widely deployed, WHO estimates that the vaccine could save the lives of an additional 40 000 to 80 000 African children each year.
WHO is working with partners to increase supply through increased manufacturing capacity of RTS,S and by facilitating the development of other first-generation and next-generation malaria vaccines. To guide where initial doses of the vaccine will be deployed, WHO is coordinating the development of a framework for the allocation of limited malaria vaccine supply; the aim is to prioritize areas of greatest need and highest malaria burden until supply meets demand.

The human liver repaired using lab-grown cells

Researchers pioneered a breast cancer therapy that was found to be as effective as conventional treatment – while taking just 30 minutes.

Key facts

With a shortage of liver donors, researchers supported by the NIHR Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre aimed to develop an alternative to transplantations.

Malfunctioning bile ducts, which act as the organ’s waste disposal system, are the cause of 70% of liver transplants in children, and a third in adults.

The researchers used this technique to grow new ‘mini-bile ducts’ in the lab.

Research showed that biliary cells from the human gallbladder could be converted into bile duct cells to replace and repair the damaged bile ducts.

This is the first time a procedure of this kind has been used on human organs and this breakthrough could increase the number of suitable donor livers.

This approach could also be applied to range of organs and diseases, to further accelerate cell-based therapy research.
