Want Better Sex? Give It Time

How many movie plots revolve around hot college hookups? A lot, that’s how many. Enter, science. A group of researchers at the University of Michigan, New York University, and Stanford University asked over 13,000 heterosexual undergraduate women at 21 U.S. colleges about their sex lives—including how good their last sexual experience was. Their study found that movies may be overselling the hotness of random hookups—at least when it comes to college women.

The researchers wanted to understand what makes it more or less likely that heterosexual women will have an orgasm and enjoy sex in general. They asked women about their most recent hookup and about their most recent relationship that lasted at least six months. “Hooking up” was self-defined, and women included just kissing, using hands on each other, oral sex, and good old-fashioned intercourse.

Keep Your Cells Healthy

Every day in your body 432 billion cells die and are replaced with new cells. This is the key to regenerating your body and staying young. Because of this you could have a better functioning body next year if you want, skinnier, with less pains and more energy…if you take the right steps.

That 432 billion number is a just a scientific estimate. Cells are so small and there are so many in your body (somewhere between 60 -100 trillion) that no one could ever count them individually. This is also why you don’t notice your body renewing itself all the time, but it is!

Treatment of Obesity through fasting

Loosing weight for some can be a difficult ordeal when it involves eternally depriving oneself of a hearty meal. unlike other calorie restriction programs, periodic fasting allows the individual a feasting period following an initial period during which the individualis required to undergo abstenance from food. It has been shown in humans and animals that there is no significant increase in weight after a period of feasting on even fatty foods when it is preceded by a fasting period

The mechanism of weight management through periodic fasting is thought to be in part due to the increased sensitivity to insulin. Following the fasting period the cells tend to respond more readily to insulin and take up glucose more effectively. Furthermore fasting is also associated with cleansing of the body allowing old substances to be fully absorbed during the period of fasting such that when followed by feasting, the body absorbs and makes use of food nutrients more efficiently.

Factor N 5: Hi-tech biomedicine

For the individual concerned, medical treatment may obviously have a literally vital role in permitting a long and healthy life. But we should not forget that such "crisis-management", necessary and important as it is, is not the same as dealing with the aging process itself.

There is sometimes a temptation (and even, from the narrow "medical-industry" point of view, a commercial incentive) to live recklessly -- the most obvious example is of course smoking; closely followed by eating the typical "junk" diet -- and assume that the "repair depot" will be able to magically fix any resulting problems. (This is alas, all too often, a young person's perspective.)

Perhaps, by outlining examples of the "nitty-gritty" detail involved in some of the latest techniques, we may be able to give such a reader pause for thought. Prevention, where this is feasible (and in many cases it is), is incomparably better than cure!
