Reasons Why Women Desire Sex More Often Than Men

 
Men talk and think a lot about Sex while women desire it more often. We explore the reasons.
Gone are the days when ‘demanding Sex was considered exclusively a man’s forte. Today women demand Sex greater than men. And they have no qualms about getting vocal about it.

“I read these funny E-mail forwards that stress on men begging for Sex'' and women denying it. It sounds so funny to me. It’s totally the opposite in my case. While men can have a good laugh over it believing that this notion exists, I literally have to seduce my husband to get him hooked on to the act,” quips production assistant Megha Mehra. And she is not alone. Many girls/women had a similar story.
Women from different backgrounds was asked some questions to figure out what is making them addicted to Sex.
1. It’s physically pleasurable
Amongst all the other reasons to remain glued to Sex, this is the most prominent one. Good Sex’ satisfies your physical urge, which is very normal for anyone to experience. Psychologist Seema Naina opines, “Sex is the most basic need of any person. And I am increasingly getting cases where women are complaining that men are unable to satisfy their physical needs.”
2. Creates positive feelings about oneself
Ideally, great Sex means you are enjoying the Sexual act and participating equally. It makes you feel good about yourself, thus adding to your self esteem. Shares housewife Neelam Nehra, “When my husband comes back from a whole day at work and we have our sack session, it increases my self esteem. The very feeling that I am able to satisfy him is a great pleasure. And since I never want to go out of shape to look unappealing to my husband (and other men), it even acts as a motivation to work out and feel desirable.” Wondering why?
“Sex has healing powers. It generates positive emotions and makes one feel more confident. When a woman sees her man passionate in the act, admiring her body and moves, it infuses a lot of good feelings within her,” opines psychologist Sunaina Bajaj.
3. Brings them closer to their man
Physical intimacy releases hormone Oxytocin, which is also known as the love hormone. Agrees relationship expert Vandana Mitra, “I have always maintained that couples should never take Sex casually. It’s a very important ingredient for any relationship to sustain. It helps couples to nurture the relationship and strengthen the bond.” So whoever said having more Sex with your partner means lesser cases of infidelity, made sense.
Content developer Prachi Sinha states, “I feel a major connect with my boyfriend after we make love. I just feel like being close to him. My faith in him and our relationship grows stronger.” Prachi’s boyfriend agrees, “When she told me about the 7 days a week Sex, I initially could not stop laughing. I mean, this is not the only thing we have to do. But honestly it has got us closer. I just can’t take my eyes off her even when we are moving in a crowd.”
4. Negates unwanted emotions/ Stress-reliever
Sex is not just a physical sensation but it’s comforting and relaxing. Call centre executive Neetu Sharma shares her experience, “Whenever I have a bad day at work, Sex really helps me unwind. It totally takes the stress out of my mind and makes me feel relaxed and rejuvenated.” Psychologist Reena Kapur explains why. “Sex involves a lot of deep breathing and touching and the hormones that are released during the act calm you down.”
5. Great form of exercise
Thirty minutes of Sex burns more than 85 calories. We have read it almost everywhere that Sex helps in burning calories. Confirms fitness consultant Stuti Batra, “While I do not suggest giving up work outs, doubling up the session makes you drop more weight.” While this is the most deadly mix, many girls are seriously taking to it. “It may sound a little funny, but while making love I prefer to play the dominant role. It helps me burn greater calories, leaving my guy in ecstasy,” says Payal Verma.
6. Invokes passion
“Sometimes I feel like a pervert, because I find myself always thinking about my boyfriend, and what we did the night before. It gives me a kick and makes me crave for our next sack session. He thinks I am crazy, but it really happens to me,” shares call centre executive Richa Sharma.
“It is completely normal to fantasise about Sex. But I have heard it can freak a guy out- we men are still adapting to the concept of women demanding Sex more than us. But we love that passion,” admits psychologist Prateek.

Things You Will Notice if Your Woman Has Just Had Sex With Another Man

 
According to science, this is what you should watch out for if you want to know that she’s recently enjoyed Sex.
You might have your reasons for worrying that your woman will be unfaithful to you. Sure, in this day and age, checking phones, social media, etc are usually the go-to move for those with questionable partners, but there are other things to look out for too.
 woman-ct

 Here are five things that happen to a woman who has just had Sex’.

1. You are more attracted to her

This might sound weird but if a women enjoys frequent steamy romps her body releases pheromones – scented Sex’ hormones that stimulate attraction in the opposite Sex’ – which can increase your arousal.
If you start to feel affected when you’re near her then she’s probably had some action recently.

2. She feels happier

In case you didn’t already know, Sex’ is a mood-booster.
According to a study, the more frequently you get down and dirty the happier you judge yourself to be.
Researchers quizzed more than 15,000 people and found that those who had Sex’ between two and three times a week were 55% more likely to say they were happier than those going through a dry spell.
So, if you are having Sex’ a lot less frequently than that and your woman always seem to be in a good mood, there is probably a good reason why.

3. She looks prettier

When you get between the sheets, lots of different things happen to your body and you can’t see all of them on the surface.
But a big giveaway is the increased blood flow to all areas which will leave her complexion looking flushed.
This will actually make you find her more attractive because a rosy complexion indicates better health and higher oestrogen levels.

4. She sleeps way too deeply

When a woman reaches climax she has a 30% increase in the hormone prolactin immediately after Sex’ and again the next afternoon.
The hormone encourages snoozing and deep REM sleep, so if she’s had a restful night it could be because of a recent tumble between the sheets.

5. She avoids contact

During Sex’ the hormone Oxycontin is released which helps people feel bonded to one another.
If she’s been at it recently then her desire to feel bonded will be satisfied meaning there’s no need to act clingy.

HOSPITALS FOR HUMANITY KICKS OFF 1K1M CAPAIAGN TO SAVE CHILDREN WITH CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE

 

Congenital Heart Defects are very common and critical birth defects, however survival and life expectancy of individuals with congenital heart disease have significantly increased with earlier diagnosis, improved surgical interventions and better medical management.

Every year, an estimated 85,000 children are born with congenital heart defects in Nigeria, all are currently referred out of the country for surgeries. A high proportion of children with surgically amenable congenital heart disease will require life-saving, invasive intervention to help improve their quality of life significantly. It is estimated that compared to their peers, the medical costs for individuals with congenital heart disease are 10 to 20 times greater funds most of these family cannot afford.

To this end, Hospitals for Humanity (HfH) an Atlanta based NGO, duly registered both in the US & Nigeria, has in the last two years conducted 49 paediatric cardiothoracic surgeries via its Paediatric Cardiothoracic Surgery Initiative (PCTSI) and in Nigeria, made up of a world class team, providing care and services comparable to any first class institution while building capacities of local staff and fostering knowledge transfer.

Currently HfH has a patient list of over a 1000 patients, 200 of who URGENTLY need surgeries, having exhausted its funds in the largely pro bono efforts of the last two years, HfH seeks to raise funds via its 1K1M fundraising campaign to continue carrying out these surgeries for the needing children.

The 1K1M campaign seeks to raise funds from one million individuals who will give at least N1,000 each towards carrying out open-heart surgeries for 200 children with congenital heart defects.

Taking off in January 2017 and running throughout the year, the campaign will involve as many activities as possible all aimed at raising funds for this cause.

On board as proud partners and sponsors are Daar Communications, BellaNaija to mention a few.

Anambra hospital performs 5 open heart surgeries

 

—A team of medical doctors based in the United States of America, USA, under the auspices of Global Eagle Foundation, has performed open heart surgeries on five patients at St. Joseph's Hospital, Adazi Nnukwu in Anaocha Local Government Area, Anambra State. The doctors were led by Dr Joe Nwiloh, an indigene of the state and the operation was carried out in partnership with the state government and the Catholic Diocese of Awka. The hospital's Heart Centre is named after Dr. Nwiloh, who attracted the project and was supported by the Anambra State Government. Of the five patients that were operated upon, four were adults, while one was a child. They were all said to be with failing hearts. The state Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, Dr. Uju Nwogu said one of the patients was the first in the South East and South South zones of the country to undergo a coronary artery bypass surgery, adding that this was made possible by the sophisticated state-of-the-art monitoring equipment and mechanical support which the centre has for all heart-related ailments. According to her, the Adazi Nnukwu hospital has become very popular in the area of heart surgery as many people go there for routine checks and consultations. She called on Nigerians to avail themselves of the great life-saving opportunity available in Anambra State to treat their heart diseases and be healthy. Nwogu also called on philanthropic individuals and corporate organizations to contribute to the growth of the center by assisting in acquiring a cardiac catheterization laboratory to enable it complete its diagnostic capabilities.

Doctors successfully separate 8-day-old conjoined twins

 

Doctors have successfully separated conjoined twin sisters fused at the liver and chest - the smallest pair ever to survive surgery.
Five surgeons, assisted by two nurses and six anaesthesiologists, carried out the successful, five-hour operation to separate the tiny identical twins at a hospital in Bern, Switzerland.

Maya and Lydia were born two months prematurely along with their triplet sister Kamilla in December.
They were initially stable and doctors at Inselspital hospital, Bern, had planned to allow them to settle after birth and separate them after a few months.
But after a week, their situation deteriorated dramatically: one suffering from hypertension and the other suffering from the opposite condition, known as hypotension.
Both conditions were life-threatening to the frail twins, who weighed just 2.4 pounds each, and the doctors decided their only chance was attempting surgery never before performed on such young infants.

Separating the babies' liver put both under massive pressure, said Barbara Wildhaber, head of the paediatric surgery unit at the Geneva University Hospital, who headed the team that carried out the surgery.
'We were prepared for the death of both babies, it was so extreme,' she told Swiss paper Le Matin Dimanche.
 
She added: 'It was magnificent. I will remember it my entire career.'
 
Since their surgery, Maya and Lydia have been recovering well, they have put on weight and have begun breast feeding, the paper reported.
The pair is among only about 200 separated conjoined twins currently living around the globe, it said.
Also known as Siamese twins, conjoined siblings are identical twins who in rare cases, about one in 200,000 live births, are born with their skin and internal organs fused together, according to the University of Maryland Medical Centre website.
About half are stillborn, and the survival rate is between five and 25 percent.
They develop from a single egg, which splits in the case of healthy twins, but not fully in the case of conjoined siblings.

What you eat affects how you sleep

 
The right foods can help you get the best sleep possible. So if you knew which foods would hinder your restful slumber, wouldn’t you avoid them? Now you can learn which foods to eat, and which to steer clear of for a good night’s sleep. Read on.  



We’ve all heard of warm milk’s magical ability to send us off to dreamland. Do you know why it’s true? Dairy foods contain tryptophan, which is a sleep-promoting substance. Other foods that are high in tryptophan include nuts and seeds, bananas, honey, and eggs.
  • Indulge in carbs
Carbohydrate-rich foods complement dairy foods by increasing the level of sleep-inducing tryptophan in the blood. So a few perfect late night snacks to get you snoozing might include a bowl of cereal and milk, yoghurt and crackers, or bread and cheese.
 

  • Have a snack before bedtime

If you struggle with insomnia, a little food in your stomach may help you sleep. But don’t use this as an open invitation to pig out. Keep the snack small. A heavy meal will tax your digestive system, making you uncomfortable and unable to get soothing ZZZs.


  • Avoid burger and fries

As if you needed another reason to avoid high-fat foods, research shows that people who often eat high-fat foods not only gain weight, they also experience a disruption of their sleep cycles. A heavy meal activates digestion, which can lead to night time trips to the bathroom.


  • Beware of hidden caffeine

It’s no surprise that an evening cup of coffee might disrupt your sleep. Even moderate caffeine can cause sleep disturbances. But don’t forget about less obvious caffeine sources, like chocolate, cola, tea, and decaffeinated coffee. For better sleep, cut all caffeine from your diet four to six hours before bedtime.

Some over-the-counter and prescription drugs contain caffeine, too, such as pain relievers, weight loss pills, diuretics, and cold medicines. To check the label of non prescription drugs or the prescription drug information sheet to see if your medicine interferes with sleep or can cause insomnia.


  • Skip the nightcap

Alcohol may help you fall asleep faster, but you may experience frequent awakenings, less restful sleep, headaches, night sweats and nightmares. If you’re drinking alcohol in the evening, balance each drink with a glass of water to dilute the alcohol’s effects. For a good night’s sleep, the better bet is to avoid alcohol four to six hours before bedtime.


  • Beware of heavy, spicy foods

Lying down with a full belly can make you uncomfortable, since the digestive system slows down when you sleep. It can also lead to heartburn, as can spicy cuisine. Make sure to finish a heavy meal at least four hours before bedtime.


  • Keep protein to a minimum at bedtime

Protein, an essential part of our daytime fare, can be a poor choice for a bedtime snack. Protein-rich, high-fat foods are harder to digest. So skip the fatty high-protein snack before bedtime and opt for a glass of warm milk or some sleep-friendly carbs, like crackers.


  • Cut the fluids by 8pm

Staying hydrated throughout the day is great for your body, but curtail your fluid intake before bed. You’re sure to have interrupted sleep if you’re constantly getting up to go to the restroom.

WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR LUNGS AFTER YOU SMOKE 3 PACKS OF CIGARETTES !!!

 

This is a powerful presentation done by a teacher at the Yan Chai Hospital Tung Chu Ying Memorial School in Hong Kong. He was worried how his students started smoking and wanted to show them the effects of smoking on their young lungs.
 
The lungs he used were from a pig. He inflated ones with clear air, and the other ones with cigarette smoke from 60 cigarettes. Then he cut them both in half showing the students the perfect pink color of the ones inflated with air, and the dark black color of the ones inflated with smoke.

This is what an average smoker will achieve in less than a month of smoking. It is a powerful presentation of what smokers do to their lungs and that everyone should reconsider before lighting another cigarette again.

There have been over 1 billion tobacco-associated deaths, and the number is expected to increase to 1.6 billion over the following two decades according to The Action on Smoking and Health organization.

– Four times the protein
– Twice the carbohydrate
– Three times the phosphorus
– Five times the vitamin A and iron
– Twice the other vitamins and minerals.

Lackcurrant juice a day, keeps brain disorders away

 
Researchers at New Zealand science company Plant & Food Research, working in collaboration with Northumbria University in the UK tested this to impressive results.




Scientists have found that drinking a glass of blackcurrant juice daily could make you happier, more mentally agile and even help alleviate symptoms of brain disorders such as Parkinson's.

Researchers at New Zealand science company Plant & Food Research, working in collaboration with Northumbria University in the UK tested this to impressive results.

For the study, 36 adults were given either 250ml of blackcurrant juice, 250ml of blackcurrant extract or a placebo drink, before participating in a series of challenging metal performance tests.

It was  found that by consuming either of the blackcurrant drinks, “attention and mood were improved while mental fatigue was reduced”.

The juice, which came from a variety of New Zealand blackcurrant called ‘Blackadder', appeared to reduce the activity of a group of enzymes called monoamine oxidases, which regulate the brain’s levels of serotonin and dopamine – two chemicals which can affect mood and brain function.

Based on this, the scientists believe that blackcurrants could be used to help treat patients with neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s.

Crystal Haskell-Ramsay of Northumbria University described the study as exciting as it demonstrated benefits to mental performance following blackcurrant consumption, and also showed benefits to mental performance following any berry in healthy young adults.

Blood sugar can be controlled by eating proteins/vegs before carbohydrates

 
The revelation could be particularly useful for diabetics, who must constantly control their blood sugar levels to avoid health complications.


Eating the protein and vegetables in our meals before carbohydrates could not only keeps people fuller for longer, but it also helps control blood sugar levels, researchers say.

The revelation could be particularly useful for diabetics, who must constantly control their blood sugar levels to avoid health complications.

11 obese or overweight people with type 2 diabetes, participated in the study by researchers from Weill Cornell Medical College in New York.

Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body does not make enough insulin or is resistant to insulin and each of the participants was taking a drug called metformin which helps to control blood sugar levels.

Participants fasted 12 hours overnight before consuming a typical 628 calorie Western meal of protein, carbohydrates and fat.

The meal consisted of a skinless chicken breast, buttered broccoli, salad, ciabatta bread and a glass of orange juice.

In the first week of the study, the group ate the bread and drank the juice first and then ate the protein and the veg 15 minutes later.

A week later, the participants ate the same meal in the reverse order, first eating the chicken and greens and then the bread and juice.

In both instances, researchers measured the blood sugar levels of each participant just before eating and then 30, 60 and 120 minutes after the meal.

The results showed that the blood sugar levels were 29%, 37% and 17% lower when researchers checked them at 30, 60 and 120 minutes, respectively, when the group had eaten the chicken and veg first. Insulin levels were also lower when participants had eaten the veg and protein first.

Senior study author, Dr Louis Aronne described the result as encouraging adding that it could potentially benefit people.

Every girl needs ginger in her spice rack

 
Ginger is one of the most flavorsome and potent spices. It is used heavily in cooking in many cuisines and has been used in natural medicines for centuries. There are so many health benefits of ginger that it really does deserve pride of place in your collection of herbs and spices.



1. GINGER COULD REDUCE YOUR CHOLESTEROL LEVELS

Among the various health #benefits of ginger, the potential for lowering cholesterol levels is perhaps one of the most exciting discoveries. #People with high levels of LDL lipoproteins run an increased risk of developing heart disease. What we eat can influence the levels of LDL in our blood. Evidence in both humans and animals has shown ginger can be responsible for a significant lowering of LDL cholesterol and blood triglyceride levels (both considered "bad" cholesterol).



2. FIGHT OSTEOARTHRITIS WITH GINGER POWER

The anti-inflammatory effects of ginger can assist in the battle against osteoarthritis, a common health problem #women in particular develop once they hit age 30+. The condition degenerates the joints of our bodies, causing symptoms such as stiffness and joint pain. Studies have shown a combination of ginger, cinnamon, sesame oil and mastic can help to reduce stiffness and pain in patients suffering from the condition.   ...



3. GINGER IS HIGHLY EFFECTIVE AGAINST NAUSEA

Eat Right People who eat fish and 'plants' are more likely to live long - Study finds

 
According to senior study author Dr. Ulf Riserus, the study supports current dietary guidelines that advise having sufficient intake of both fish and vegetable oils in a heart-healthy diet.

A large Swiss study has said that older adults who eat plenty of fish and vegetables may live longer than people who don’t.

Of the over 60-year-old men and women, those with the highest blood levels of polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs), which come from fish and plants, were significantly less likely to die from heart disease or any cause over about 15 years than those with the lowest levels.

According to senior study author Dr. Ulf Riserus, the study supports current dietary guidelines that advise having sufficient intake of both fish and vegetable oils in a heart-healthy diet.

Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats are the “good” kind that can promote healthy cholesterol levels, especially when used in place of saturated and trans fats, the “bad” actors.

Said fats are found in fish such as salmon, trout and herring, as well as in avocados, olives, walnuts and liquid vegetable oils such as soybean, corn, safflower, canola, olive and sunflower.

Current dietary guidelines suggest that most adults should get no more than 20 to 35% of daily calories from fats.

Most of this should come from good fats, with no more than 10% from saturated fats and as little trans fat as possible.

The researchers however acknowledged that the blood test for fats was only done a single time, which was a limitation foe the study.

In addition, the limited number of deaths from cardiovascular disease make it difficult to draw conclusions on the impact of fats, particularly when examined in men and women separately.

The take-home message of the study was however clear, people should strive to eat more plants and fewer animals

Low calorie food makes man fatter, sues supermarket

 

Although Mr. Xu worked out every day, he couldn't control his weight – it kept adding on. And he blames it on the biscuits.

In 2014, Mr. Xu spent more than 3,000 yuan to buy 10 boxes of Yaoshantang's biscuits – it was deemed to have low calories. He was eating those biscuits to substitute his smoking habit.

Some people often resist their nicotine addiction by chewing gums, eating peppermints or low-calorie biscuit.

However, the biscuits that Mr. Xu was eating were having an adverse effect on his weight. Upon investigating, he found that calories on the biscuits were four times higher than its label – there were 2,312 kilo joules of calories per 100 grams instead of 560 kilo joules as mentioned in the packet.

In 2015, Mr. Xu sued the supermarket where he bought those biscuits demanding compensation. However, the supermarket asserted that there were no food safety and quality problems with the biscuits.

But Chutian Metro Daily reported on Saturday that the court has ordered the supermarket to compensate Mr. Xu with 10 times the amount he paid for the biscuits. It said the supermarket defied food safety law.

However, following the verdict, many have taken to social media to question the court's judgment. Most of the online users said Mr. Xu should have sued the biscuit manufacturer and not the supermarket.

"The manufacturer did not compensate to him?" said @Bushiyouzhidewudixiaopengyou/.

"It is you who have eaten too much and you're blaming it on others," @Yuyuesegongwudedapengyou commented.
