Health Benefits of Sex

Health Benefits of Sex The uninitiated keep wondering how it feels, the more seasoned ones vow by its pleasures and no one can ever say NO to it. Yes, I am talking about Sex. Though it occupies the human mind unlike anything else, it seems that most people do not realize that sex is not just about fulfilling your carnal desires. There is sufficient, unquestionable scientific proof that underlines the health benefits of sex. In fact, sex surfaces as one of the most comprehensive and effective activities you can indulge in from a health perspective. Some of the most documented and proven health benefits of sex have been listed below: Sex Boosts Your Immunity The principle of your mind and body's health being interrelated is best exemplified by sex. For starters, the act raises the synthesis of immunoglobulins. These are antibodies or our immunity compounds that help us fight infections. People with a more-than-basic level of sexual activities, per week, tend to retain a higher immunoglobulin concentration, making them more immune to common infections. Sex Alleviates Common Infertility Problems With stressful lifestyles, many men are prone to suffering from lowered sperm count or poor semen quality. These are serious barriers for couples trying to conceive. It has been researched that regular and enjoyable sex helps men to overcome these issues. Their semen improves in quality and quantity and the stress-relieving properties of sex ensure that their sperm is healthier, more motile and penetrable. The act of sex ensures that blood is properly circulated across the body, including the penile tissues, and absorption of nutrients is more uniform.Sex Relieves StressOverall reduction of stress is perhaps the biggest, most widely-accepted benefit of sex. It is believed that higher anxiety and stress levels are responsible for initiating most health problems prevalent today. With regular sex, psychological health is improved, particularly problems related to mood swings, depression and sleep. The act of intercourse helps to stimulate production of hormones that are required for overcoming stress and ensuring healthier behavior. Sex Keeps You Physically Fitter Sex has an amazing calorie-burning and cardiovascular conditioning effect. It exercises nearly every muscle of the body, including areas like the abdomen, hips and thighs that are the common weight-gain areas for most people. Sex might not help you become muscular but it works-out the body in a beautiful manner. The increased supply of blood means that the body has a greater chance of eliminating waste products and providing nourishment in a more balanced manner to various organs. Increased levels of sexual hormones help to fortify the muscles and bones with critical nourishment. These hormones help to prevent onset of heart diseases. Working the pelvic muscles, intercourse helps to prevent conditions like incontinence and hernias. Sex Gives Your Skin Unique Radiance It is usually thought that only women have the after-glow that is essentially a result of their hormones being produced aplenty during sex. However, this is applicable to men too. Yes, sex behaves like a psychological and physical boost for the human body. The circulation of blood rises, more oxygen is pumped into the body and sexual hormones are released copiously. The result is a sort of radiance that the best of moisturizers and make-up kits cannot compete with. It seems to take off years from your face, making you appear refreshed and cheerful. Sex is an Instant Pain-killer The feeling of happiness that accompanies and follows intercourse is due to the rise in the secretion of endorphins. These hormones are required for establishing a relaxed state of mind. Sex also induces release of oxytocin, which along with endorphin, is one of nature’s most potent painkillers' everything from unexplained bodyache to serious conditions like arthritic or PMS pains can be relieved.

Managing stress as a doctor

What is it about doctors that makes them vulnerable to poorly managing their own health?
Our research at the Doctors for Doctors Unit shows that only one in three doctors would see their GP when unwell, despite almost all being registered with one (which is often simply required for work, insurance and so on). One in eight doctors reported that they use alcohol or drugs to help them cope with work and ill health, about one in four reported knowing of colleagues who do so.
It is probably a combination of factors leading to such problems: the conscientious personalities of doctors, the demands of the job, and the culture and systems around doctors health.

Doctors' personalities

There are traits that typically feature in a doctor's profile that might make us good at being doctors, but not necessarily at looking after ourselves. We are obsessive and perfectionist, overly conscientious, and we seek approval. Doctors need to be in control, but may harbour chronic self-doubt. We also tend to dislike praise and delay gratification or the rewards from the job.
The very definition of the job also creates a fine line that doctors walk. To be a good doctor, one needs to be involved with patients (capable of empathy and humanity); yet to remain objective and survive emotionally, one needs to be detached from their pain and suffering. And higher levels of self-criticism are associated with high rates of depression; yet doctors need to be obsessional and self-critical in order to avoid mishaps. The very traits that are necessary for good patient care may not be good for the doctor's health.

Demands of the job

But there are also external factors that cause doctors to burn out. We are giving all day (and night) emotionally, and dealing with physical and emotional distress but who cares for us? For GPs in particular, there is isolation, both psychologically and physically. Doctors are also practising intensively at front line. Long hours lead to poor family relationships/support. Added to all this there is:
* A lack of feedback (except in the form of complaints!);
* Perceived threat of, for example, violence, complaints;
* Insecurity (poor support from management; and NHS reorganisation);

Culture

Comments doctors have given us sum up how there is much collusion allowing the health effects of all these stresses to go unchecked - that doctors are not supposed to be ill, everyone expects a doctor to get on with it and cure himself, doctors with health problems are seen as potential problems and I don't think the avenues are clear enough. There is enormous pressure on doctors not to give in to ill health.
So how do doctors know when these three factors - themselves, the job, and the culture around them have conspired to start causing damage, and what can they do about it?

The symptoms of burn out are identifiable in four areas: emotional, cognitive, behavioural and physical.
Emotional:
Loss of humour;
Irritability/resentment/bitterness;
Depressed mood, apathy;
Feelings of failure/guilt/blame.

Cognitive:
Poor concentration;
Rigidity/resistance to change;
Suspicion/mistrust;
Stereotyping;
Objectification/distancing;
Ruminations (of leaving, revenge, and so on).

Behavioural:
Work avoidance (absenteeism, clock-watching, and so on);
Diminished personal conduct with clients/colleagues;
Inflexible behaviour;
Habitual lateness;
Acting out (alcohol/drugs/affairs/shopping, and so on).

Physical:Tiredness, lethargy;

Sleep disorders;
Increased minor illnesses (headache, backache, and so on).
Many of the ways in which we can help ourselves will read as common sense and are often not too difficult  First and foremost, register with a GP before any problem presents itself. When there are stresses, share problems with family, friends, and colleagues and admit vulnerability. You are a human-being like any of your patients. Set boundaries and make space for yourself; learn to say NO. Try to build in some protection to your spare time so that it doesnt get eaten into. And seek help early if you do develop problems that need further management, and consider options including psychotherapy or counselling.

If you are feel that you are getting symptoms of burn out, keeping a stress diary for just a week can help with identifying the stressors and doing something about preventing further ill effects. Divide the day into hours and record events occurring in each hour. Rate events on a scale of one to ten on two parallel charts one for how stressful the event was and another for how much benefit that same event provided you. After a week, reflect on your ratings and try to alter those events that are causing you high stress for low value. The process of keeping a diary means you will also be paying some attention to time management, which can also help against stress. An example of a time management tool that is quick and easy to use can be found at this web page from Bristol GP solutions [http://www.bristolgpsolutions.org.uk/h4.htm ].
Applying a CBT approach to stressful events can help you identify and manage problems too, simply by thinking about your reactions to situations and asking these sorts of questions:

- Was it stressful and how?
- What was I thinking and how did I react?
- What was the outcome?
- How could I have reacted differently?
- What changes could I make?

Identify your negative thoughts review them rationally and challenge them. Counter what have become automatic negative thoughts - with positive alternatives. Sometimes it can also be helpful to try and see the point of view of those with whom you are in conflict.
A final note is that one of the factors that need not necessarily be out of your control is your colleagues and your particular work set up. GPs in particular should place some importance on finding the right practice or partners as far as possible.
In summary, there is much you are in control of yourself to prevent problems caused by the pressures of the profession. Your personality, what being a doctor demands, and the culture around you are three factors that you can recognise and manage too.

8 of the World’s Healthiest Spices & Herbs You Should Be Eating

By The Editors of EatingWell Magazine


By Kerri-Ann Jennings, M.S., R.D., Associate Nutrition Editor at EatingWell Magazine

As a registered dietitian and associate nutrition editor at EatingWell Magazine, I know that herbs and spices do more than simply add flavor to food. They let you cut down on some less-healthy ingredients, such as salt, added sugars and saturated fat, and some have inherent health benefits, many of which Joyce Hendley reported on for EatingWell Magazine.

Modern science is beginning to uncover the ultimate power of spices and herbs, as weapons against illnesses from cancer to Alzheimer's disease. "We're now starting to see a scientific basis for why people have been using spices medicinally for thousands of years," says Bharat Aggarwal, Ph.D., professor at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and author of Healing Spices (Sterling, 2011).

Aggarwal notes that in his native India, where spices tend to be used by the handful, incidence of diet-related diseases like heart disease and cancer have long been low. But when Indians move away and adopt more Westernized eating patterns, their rates of those diseases rise. While researchers usually blame the meatier, fattier nature of Western diets, Aggarwal and other experts believe that herbs and spices-or more precisely, the lack of them-are also an important piece of the dietary puzzle. "When Indians eat more Westernized foods, they're getting much fewer spices than their traditional diet contains," he explains. "They lose the protection those spices are conveying."

While science has yet to show that any spice cures disease, there's compelling evidence that several may help manage some chronic conditions (though it's always smart to talk with your doctor). What's not to love? Here we've gathered eight of the healthiest spices and herbs enjoyed around the worl


Chile Peppers
May help: Boost metabolism.
Chile peppers add a much-appreciated heat to chilly-weather dishes, and they can also give a boost to your metabolism. Thank capsaicin, the compound that gives fresh chiles, and spices including cayenne and chipotle, their kick. Studies show that capsaicin can increase the body's metabolic rate (causing one to burn more calories) and may stimulate brain chemicals that help us feel less hungry. In fact, one study found that people ate 16 percent fewer calories at a meal if they'd sipped a hot-pepper-spiked tomato juice (vs. plain tomato juice) half an hour earlier. Recent research found that capsinoids, similar but gentler chemicals found in milder chile hybrids, have the same effects-so even tamer sweet paprika packs a healthy punch. Capsaicin may also lower risk of ulcers by boosting the ability of stomach cells to resist infection by ulcer-causing bacteria and help the heart by keeping "bad" LDL cholesterol from turning into a more lethal, artery-clogging form.


Ginger
May help: Soothe an upset stomach, fight arthritis pain.
Ginger has a well-deserved reputation for relieving an unsettled stomach. Studies show ginger extracts can help reduce nausea caused by morning sickness or following surgery or chemotherapy, though it's less effective for motion sickness. But ginger is also packed with inflammation-fighting compounds, such as gingerols, which some experts believe may hold promise in fighting some cancers and may reduce the aches of osteoarthritis and soothe sore muscles. In a recent study, people who took ginger capsules daily for 11 days reported 25 percent less muscle pain when they performed exercises designed to strain their muscles (compared with a similar group taking placebo capsules). Another study found that ginger-extract injections helped relieve osteoarthritis pain of the knee.


Cinnamon
May help: Stabilize blood sugar.
A few studies suggest that adding cinnamon to food-up to a teaspoon a day, usually given in capsule form-might help people with type 2 diabetes better control their blood sugar, by lowering post-meal blood-sugar spikes. Other studies suggest the effects are limited at best.

Turmeric
May help: Quell inflammation, inhibit tumors.
Turmeric, the goldenrod-colored spice, is used in India to help wounds heal (it's applied as a paste); it's also made into a tea to relieve colds and respiratory problems. Modern medicine confirms some solid-gold health benefits as well; most are associated with curcumin, a compound in turmeric that has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Curcumin has been shown to help relieve pain of arthritis, injuries and dental procedures; it's also being studied for its potential in managing heart disease, diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. Researcher Bharat Aggarwal is bullish on curcumin's potential as a cancer treatment, particularly in colon, prostate and breast cancers; preliminary studies have found that curcumin can inhibit tumor cell growth and suppress enzymes that activate carcinogens.

Saffron
May help: Lift your mood.
Saffron has long been used in traditional Persian medicine as a mood lifter, usually steeped into a medicinal tea or used to prepare rice. Research from Iran's Roozbeh Psychiatric Hospital at Tehran University of Medical Sciences has found that saffron may help to relieve symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and depression. In one study, 75% of women with PMS who were given saffron capsules daily reported that their PMS symptoms (such as mood swings and depression) declined by at least half, compared with only 8 percent of women who didn't take saffron.


Parsley
May help: Inhibit breast cancer-cell growth.
University of Missouri scientists found that this herb can actually inhibit breast cancer-cell growth, reported Holly Pevzner in the September/October 2011 issue of EatingWell Magazine. In the study, animals that were given apigenin, a compound abundant in parsley (and in celery), boosted their resistance to developing cancerous tumors. Experts recommend adding a couple pinches of minced fresh parsley to your dishes daily.

Sage
May help: Preserve memory, soothe sore throats.
Herbalists recommend sipping sage tea for upset stomachs and sore throats, a remedy supported by one study that found spraying sore throats with a sage solution gave effective pain relief. And preliminary research suggests the herb may improve some symptoms of early Alzheimer's disease by preventing a key enzyme from destroying acetylcholine, a brain chemical involved in memory and learning. In another study, college students who took sage extracts in capsule form performed significantly better on memory tests, and their moods improved.


Rosemary
May help: Enhance mental focus, fight foodborne bacteria.
One recent study found that people performed better on memory and alertness tests when mists of aromatic rosemary oil were piped into their study cubicles. Rosemary is often used in marinades for meats and poultry, and there's scientific wisdom behind that tradition: rosmarinic acid and other antioxidant compounds in the herb fight bacteria and prevent meat from spoiling, and may even make cooked meats healthier. In March 2010, Kansas State University researchers reported that adding rosemary extracts to ground beef helped prevent the formation of heterocyclic amines (HCAs)-cancer-causing compounds produced when meats are grilled, broiled or fried.
