wait, is that, a DRUM ROLL?




the health benefits of sex

YES MY FRIENDS, I KNOW YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE

not only is repetitive thrusting beneficial for your abs,
but the most of us are unaware of the chemical effects
that take place within our brains.

LIKE>>>>ending in climax increases levels of the hormone oxytocin, the love hormone, which helps us bond and build trust


not just a song


Sometimes a relationship needs to heal.


Other times, a person needs to heal. It can be a wound or one suffering from an illness.

There have been studies in which evidence suggests that sex heals. Lovemaking can help rejuvenate to the point of cells regenerating and wounds healingfaster. Set the stage right for the romp and anything is possible. Oxytocin from the big O, it does a body good.


-oxytocin also promotes sleep

IN OTHER WORDS:


Conserve electricity, turn off the lights and light a candle.
Save water, share a shower and soap each other.
Go green between the sheets.

sexual activity boosts your immune system & helps you maintain a healthy weight
ALSO it will improve on your:
arm strength

core strength
glute power :)
hammies?
adductors.....depends on your position is guess :)

















they say
,
doing a few pelvic floor muscle exercises
(Kegels, duh) can benefit you in the bedroom.
Let's get right on that while we read......
to INCREASE your pleasure,
while strengthen your innards to help to minimize the need for depends later in life.
up to you, to me.......sneezing and peeing a little isnt something i look forward to


IT IS DOCUMENTED THAT SEX

-lowers blood pressure and contributes to overall stress reduction

-produces immunoglobulin A or IgA, protects from getting colds and other infections

-twice or more a week reduces the risk of fatal heart attack by half for the men

- may reduce the risk of prostate cancer later in life

-for thirty minutes to 60 mins burns 200 calories or more...nuff said


-improves self esteem, but i do not insisting for that reason ONLY

When teens turn to risky sexual behavior to cope with their feelings it creates many of what we consider our society's ills: teen pregnancy, abortion, sexually transmitted disease, and the breakdown of traditional marriage and family. Teens are not usually mature enough to cope with the very real risks and responsibilities of sexual behavior.

ADULTS, PLEASE PRACTICE SAFE SEX
I am not reccomending this as a source of self medication to those not in committed relationships.
AMEN


Gina Ogden, PhD, a sex therapist and marriage and family therapist said,
"Great sex begins with self-esteem, and it raises it. If the sex is loving, connected, and what you want, it raises it."


Having sex helps you forget your troubles.
it relievestress and to ease depression
natural chemicals like endorphins are released,
both before and during climax.
endorphins have a similar chemical structure to morphine
they have a pain relieving quality
your hormone prolactin surges and fires new neurons in the brain’s olfactory bulb
so after sex, you have a heightened sense of smell.
lovemaking can increase her levels of estrogen, which protects against osteoporosisand Alzheimer’s.
sex is also the answer for a happier and healthier prostate

can i get a HELL YES?!
what are you still reading for?
GET 'er done

SILVER PROTEIN

WHAT IS IT?

i picked it up for the Chukster-----my dog, Chuka Do: The Gator Dog

she has a severe case of the itchies :(

allergies is what i am told

"does this shot make my nose look big?"

























silver protein is in a sense cod liver oil
it can be used topically on itches, rashes & burns to soothe
it can also be ingested

MSP, or MILD SILVER PROTEIN
can be used to treat all the following conditions: general infections, thrush, common colds (including flu), viral infections, Staph infections, E. Coli infections, intestinal infections, sinus infections, leukaemia, HIV, Lyme's disease, herpes, gingivitis, vaginal infection, food poisoning and skin wounds or disorders. A complete table of the uses and doses of silver used to fight infection is available.


Silver Protein is a safe, natural antibiotic that acts as an all-round, wide-ranging, germ-killer.


For oral use, take 1/4 ounce 3-times daily by rinsing the mouth and swallowing. Do not use for longer than 7 days without your physician's advice.

For topical infection, apply either the gel or the cream liberally with a cotton swab 3 times daily. Do not use for longer than 7 days without your physician's advice. The gel tends to stay on the surface of the skin, acting like a thin glove-like protective layer, the cream penetrates the skin and is absorbed. Therefore, the gel should be considered for preventative purposes and the cream for when an infection is present.

For mouth and throat infections, the spray can be applied (each spray is 22.5mcg) several times a day to the affected area. Do not use for longer than 7-days without your physician's advice.

For the common cold, take MSP immediately at the onset of the cold (it is not effective once the cold has set in). However, Oral MSP is effective with most flu varieties after the flu has set in. In both cases, Oral MSP works better if taken as a preventive, or at the very first signs of symptoms.

For cuts, bruises or scrapes, topical MSP will ensure that the wound heals much faster and help prevent further infection.

cortisol....what a bitch


was thinking that i was feeling a bit thick around the middle
must be about that time of the month
check my calender

NOPE
turns out to only be cortisol
WHAT A BITCH

SORRY BOYS....this one would normally be GIRLS ONLY
but stress play a huge role in high blood pressure & heart disease

the hormone cortisol is secreted by the adrenals......... responsible for regulating glucose metabolism, blood pressure, insulin release, immune function & inflammatory response.
usually a reaction to the fight or flight response.

higher, more prolonged levels of this hormone in the bloods stream leads to
suppressed thyroid function, blood sugar imbalances, decrease bone density & muscle tissue
high blood pressure, lower immunity & what do ya know...INCREASED ABDOMINAL FAT (high fives all around)

the reason for the longevity of the cortisol
is that there is no relaxation period after the initial response


in turn, blaming my period was quite inaccurate
i was just being a bitch :)

no no no....wait, i can blame it on the cortisol

could it be possible that a week will come that i have both?!

apologizing in ADVANCE
its not me
REALLY
my pooch is taking over!


how do we solve this world wide phenomenon we call PMS?
in men's case STRESS?

yoga
meditation
journaling
breathing techniques
exercise
listening to music
and sex

cough..........might i recommend all at once

the low down on decaf



i want to make it clear that Caffeine is an addictive drug, affecting 90% of all Americans, which alters the brain's natural state, and stimulates it in a manner similar to the amphetamines cocaine and heroin.
it has control over your brain.
coffee has the ability to close blood vessels in the brain, so the brain and body cannot sleep, to cause the release of adrenaline into the body, so the body remains active and alert, and to manipulate dopamine production in the brain, so the person experiences a temporary "high."

Those who consume 300 mg. or more per day, suffer from withdrawal symptoms if they abruptly cut off their caffeine supply. Most users will suffer from symptoms of fatigue and depression, irritability, tremors, jumpiness, deprivation of deep sleep, and vascular headaches, as the blood vessels in the brain dilate. Caffeine, however, can be medically useful as a cardiac stimulant, and also as a mild diuretic used to flush the system.




Tea vs. Coffee

  • Ounce for ounce, tea leaves contain many times more caffeine than do coffee beans.
  • BUT 1 oz. of coffee is about 2 cups of coffee; 1 oz. of tea will yield as many as 20 to 30 cups
  • For that reason, a cup of tea almost always has less caffeine than a cup of coffee.


  • milligrams of caffeine per
    coffee (5oz cup) 80
    black tea (one tea bag) 40
    oolong tea (one tea bag) 30
    green tea (one tea bag) 20
    white tea (one tea bag) 15
    decaf tea (one tea bag) 2




    here is a question I, myself could not answer today....
    asked by one of my clients,
    "does decaf coffee have the same diuretic effects of regular coffee?"

    decaf coffee
    acts as a mild diuretic
    because it still contains some caffeine,
    just significantly less than caffeinated coffee
    about 15mg of caffine


    another important difference:
    the effect coffee & tea have on the bod
    is the way the intestinal tract
    will react to each
    CHOOSE TEA!!!!
    for your stomach's sake.....if nothing else

    each day means something new



    today is ONE OF THOSE DAYS

    i am being reminded that EVERY situation has its obstacles
    there are always going to be bumps in the road
    do you deal with them
    or pretend they don't exist?
    do you face them, or shy away?



    each day, each hour, every minute of every hour is meant to teach you something
    to bring you that second closer to learning the lessons that will add to your wisdom

    remind yourself
    like the rascal flats song,
    from here we make better decisions
    we learn form our mistakes

    how many

    Clichés

    can i squeeze into one blog?
    you get a prize if you can count them all



    IF I SAY NOTHING ELSE:

    NEVER suppress what you want due to circumstance

    you can have whatever you want
    ASK
    make unreasonable requests
    you might just be pleasantly surprised!

    i will not change my desire to learn, be challenged or
    fight for what I WANT FOR ME

    one thing, that most know about me, is that i will always keep reaching
    once the current goal is attained & celebrated,
    it's on to the next.......
    REACH FOR THE STARS BABY

    with relationships we approach with caution
    friendships, lovers, family & colleagues
    there is a tendency to keep people at arms length,
    play our cards close to our vest
    WHY DO WE DO THAT?
    no two people are alike
    it is so hard to get to know someone
    when they put layer upon layer of past experience between the two of you
    "HISTORY" or "BAGGAGE"
    none of that is current
    every passing moment is a chance to turn it all around
    YOU bring your past into the present, and YOU are responsible to bring it into your future
    why would you want to do that?

    TODAY, RIGHT NOW, IS NEW...
    WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?
    WHO DO YOU WANT TO BE?
    IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP/IN YOUR CAREER?

    LIVE LIFE WITH NO REGRETS

    My Latest Project

    TBA

    The Alpha Sport Project
    a summer camp

    This is one of those things that really gets me emotional.......
    Kids, Teens, Young Adults who feel alone, and struggle daily with what their purpose is





    I am creating a space & program where they can go and find salvation
    find others that are like minded and share experiences with them
    we can offer them positive role models



    do you remember in school
    - especially gym class,
    when you just didnt excell in the activities they wanted you to partake in?
    you prob asked yourself,
    "why cant they offer volleyball"
    or,"why dont we have skating as a option"
    maybe your high school didnt have a basketball team
    or maybe you wanted to play but didnt make the team?

    everyone deserves a chance
    life should be fun
    and unfortunately at a young age we start taking things personally
    and giving situations & actions meaning that really mean NOTHING AT ALL
    kids are aggravated by anger, depression, body dysmorphia, problems at home
    sometimes they need to have somewhere else to turn........we will be that place

    THIS PROGRAM
    creates a space for kids
    to come
    with questions and for fun
    we offer them role models and teachers
    we educate with activity and information
    all while offering guidance and friendship

    sharing, communication and wellness
    health of the physical, mental and emotional spirit
    fitness inspired games along with educational discussions about food and self perception
    HUMAN INTERACTION ITSELF IS PRICELESS
    STARTING IN MAY
    i will be looking for positive role models
    to donate there time EVEN 1 day week
    people that want to work with kids,
    strong leaders that can connect with these young people
    INSPIRE THEM TO REACH FOR THERE GOALS NO MATTER WHAT THE ODDS
    do you have a skill that you can offer
    are you an athlete
    musician/artist/actor/dancer
    skater/surfer
    runner
    or even just a good listener?









































    will have different celebs come in to talk to the kids....spend some time and share there stories
