Healthy Life Journal

1. Sex is beneficial for both the heart and the blood circulation, especially in the brain. While having sex, the heart rate goes from 70 beats per minute to 150, a good training for the heart. Having sex thrice a week decreases the risk of heart attack by 50 %. Also during the sex intercourses, the breath is deeper, meaning a better oxygenation.

2. The mental and emotional health balance is clearly tuned by sex. People who are involuntarily celibate or abstinent and often exhibit depressive feelings (like anger, frustration, self-doubt, paranoia and even depression) are driven into this by “missed opportunities”, due to living without having sex.

3. Sex eliminates stress. You know the feeling of total relaxation and calm following a sexual intercourse. A subsequent profound calming sleep follows, with great effect in combating the stress, and persons with a regular sex life sleep better and feel better the next day.

4. Sex means softer skin. While having sex, a woman’s body doubles the estrogen level, and this makes her hair shine while the skin becomes softer.

5. Long term researches showed that regular basis sex increases the humans’ lifespan. For the same age and health, those who had orgasms more frequently had half the death rate of men who did not have such frequent orgasms. This could be due to the plummeting stress hormones, reaction that installs after we have sex. Frequent orgasms (about 100 per year) have been linked to an increase of 3-8 years in a person’s lifespan and a decrease of death risk of 50%.

6. Sweating while having sex cleanse the skin pores, making the skin brighter and decreasing the risk of developing dermatitis.

7. Sex can keep you fit, burning extra-pounds. Quickies of 20 minutes weekly mean 7 500 calories annually, that’s as much as you consume on 120 km (745 mi) of jogging. A sex session can burn about 200 calories. This is like running 15 minutes on a treadmill!

8. Sex strengthen muscles. So much pushes and flexions… It depends on your stunts in bed, of course, but it’s clearly a lot more fun than running for miles. Bed fitness sessions clearly improve muscles of your pelvis, thighs, buttocks, abdomen, chest and arms.

9. The more active your sex life is, the more attractive for the opposite sex you are. High sexual activity makes the body release more pheromones, chemicals that attract the opposite sex, but also to display a security given by experience.

10. Sex improves senses, at least the smell. Following the orgasm, a rise of the hormone prolactin makes the brain’s stem cells form new neurons in the olfactory bulb, boosting a person’s olfactory abilities.

11.Sex is also a pain reliever, ten times more effective than Valium: immediately before orgasm, levels of the hormone oxytocin rise by five times, determining a huge release of endorphins. These chemicals calm pain, from a minor headache to arthritis or migraines, and with no secondary effects. Migraines also disappear because the pressure in the brain’s blood vessels is lowered while we have sex. So now we see that actually, a woman’s headache is rather a good reason for having sex, not against it.

Sex also stimulates the release of estrogen, decreasing the PSM pains.

12. Kissing stimulates salivation, which cleanses food left between the teeth and lowers the acidity in the mouth, the main cause of the tooth decay and bad breath.

13. Sex fights off allergies. A good sex session can be a good remedy against stiff nose, being a natural antihistaminic that helps combating asthma and high fever.

14. Regular sex balances the ratio good cholesterol: bad cholesterol.

15. Sex balances sex hormones: estrogen protects a woman’s heart but on the long term, it can be efficient also against Alzheimer’s disease and osteoporosis while testosterone spurs the growth of the bones and muscles.

16. The sexual activity means less colds, flu and infections. 1-2 intercourses weekly means 30 % higher levels of the antibody immunoglobulin A, that spurs the immune system.

17. Sex means a better control of the bladder, as pelvis muscles controlling the urine flow are stronger.

18. After orgasm, especially in the evening, we get sleepy. Sex increases sleep quality. Following an orgasm, the body of both males or females becomes completely relaxed, so they may have a good deep sleep.

19. Most pregnant women stop having sex a few weeks before giving birth, as there is a widespread idea that having sex late in pregnancy could trigger labor. But studies shows this is not true. Prostaglandin is released in huge amounts by the woman’s body as it triggers labor. Also, orgasm can induce uterine contractions. Still, there is no scientific proof that sexual intercourse close to the end of pregnancy starts the labor.

20.Sex fights cancer! Various researches have shown that a high ejaculation frequency and sexual activity are linked to a lower risk of prostate cancer later in life. A study found out that men who ejaculated 13 to 20 times monthly presented a 14% lower risk of prostate cancer than men who ejaculated on average, between 4 and 7 times monthly for most of their adult life. Those ejaculating over 21 times a month presented a 33% decreased risk of developing prostate cancer than the baseline group.

Death comes a little bit differently if you’re a man or a woman. Besides hormonal and anatomical causes, it’s the careless behavior of men what makes them live 7 years less than women. In the West, 70 % of men aged 30-50 are overweight and 40 % are too stressed.

Race also counts: in the US, Blacks are more likely to die in an altercation or of HIV, Latinos in accidents, Native Americans of cirrhosis and other liver issues, while Whites are more prone to Alzheimer’s disease, while the Mongoloids to various forms of cancer.

These are the top factors causing men’s death:

1. Heart issues are the main cause of death both in men (28%) and women. But men are more predisposed to hearth failure than women are due to testosterone. They develop these diseases earlier, and 25 % of the victims are aged 35 to 65.

Hearth health is affected by high cholesterol, smoking, alcohol, overweight, hypertension, diabetes but also heredity.

Only minor consume of red wine is recommended. Saturated fats (sausages, pork, diary products) must be replaced by vegetables, greens, fish and some red meat. Light exercising like walking rapidly for one hour daily strengthens the hearth. If allowed, take your daily aspirin.

2. Cancer kills 24% of the men. The most frequent is lung cancer, in 90 % of the cases caused by smoking, but it also can be hereditary or determined by the contact with toxic compounds at work. Combined with alcohol, smoking causes larynx cancer. In one year after quitting smoking, the risk of cancer decreases significantly. The second most deadly cancer in men is colon cancer.

90 % of liver cancers are due to drinking and infection with hepatitis virus C. 10 % are determined by infection with hepatitis virus B or hereditary metabolic conditions. Intensive pills intake, risky sexual behavior and hereditary factors also count.

There is also the autoimmune chronic hepatitis and non ethylic steatohepatitis, which produce lesions similar to the alcohol-produced ones in abstinent persons, due to the mixture of obesity, diabetes and fat alterations in the plasm, linked to the hyper-caloric diets and sedentary life.

Moderate alcohol consume and the vaccine against hepatitis virus B always help.

Prostate cancer is not linked to diseases, lifestyles, or alimentation, but to age and heredity. 80% of the eighty-year-old men have prostate cancer, even if they die of other condition. A small percentage of this cancer is deadly, but it can severely impair one’s life. If there are cases in the family, prostate cancer checks must be made after 50, when the tumor can be detected in initial stages and cured completely.

Penis cancer, almost inexistent, is determined by lack of hygiene and sexual promiscuity. Bladder cancer is triggered by smoking or contact with anilines (colorants) and petroleum.

By avoiding overexposure to sunlight, skin cancer can be avoided.

3. Accidents kill 5,9% of the men. The most frequent are the car crashes that kill twice more men than women, as men tend not to use the safety belts, are more prone to speeding and many times drive drunk, or fall asleep at the wheel.

4. Strokes count for 5.1 % of the male deaths. They are linked to heredity, hypertension, diabetes, fat metabolism diseases and chronic headaches. Regular checks of the tension, controlled body weight, low stress, sport control and low alcohol consume keep them away.

5. Lung obstructive chronic diseases (counting with 5,1%), like emphysema or chronic bronquitis are mainly caused by smoking, which increases the risk 12 times.

6. 2,9% of men die of diabetes. 30% of the patients do not even know they have it. They find it out after severe complications install: impotence, neurological issues, kidney and vision impairment.

7. Flu and pneumonia finish 2,4% of the men, especially vulnerable being those with lung obstructive chronic diseases, asthma or smokers, but also suffering of diabetes, heart or AIDS.

8. Most suicidal people are men. Men are exposed to depression due to medical factors (depressive disorders, alcoholism, or chronic painful diseases) and social causes (old age, loneliness, lack of family support, stressing events). The highest factor that leads to suicide in men is linked to how men experience personal difficulties.

Being generally more rigid, inflexible, introverted and impulsive than a woman, when a man faces a severe difficulty, he can choose the evasive way of acting and commit suicide. Men can’t stand loneliness or matrimonial separation the way a women do and usually they don’t speak about their problems, so they don’t free themselves from the pain. That’s why about 7 % of the men may develop depression, an important risk factor for committing suicide.

Moreover, men live with more stress and anguish from their work, generating more health conditions and anxiety states. Women display depression through sadness and a feeling of uselessness, while men through tiresome, irritability and sleep impairment. Depression can be masked by alcohol and drug consume.

Men should communicate more and have a life project that can be adjusted to reality. If it is shared, it’s better. And they must assume more coherently the ‘response’ to other proposals which the others want to develop.

9. Kidney issues wipe out 1,7% of the men. They can be diabetes linked complications or due to high blood pressure, or drug abuse, like aspirin and ibuprofen, which are toxic for the kidney. People with kidney issues should drink more liquids.

10. Obesity. Women usually accumulate fat on the hips, while men on the abdomen, which is more dangerous, as this is associated with metabolic and respiratory complications: diabetes, apnea, hypertension, vascular conditions, elevated levels of the blood triglycerides (saturated fats) and low levels of the artery-protecting HDL cholesterol and others.

Obesity killed 154,884 US citizens between 2000-2005.

Men must adopt healthy diets, exercise and reject miraculous diets. Family should be supportive on this.

Men with over 108 cm (3.5 ft) around the waist should pay a visit to a doctor to determine the caloric expense and know the disposition of their body fat.

11. Sleep apnea. The high incidence of sleep apnea amongst men is due to the fat accumulation around their necks when they gain weight. As muscular tone decreases while sleeping, the respiratory ways get narrower due to the fat pressure and cannot let the air pass. There are also hormonal factors. Sleep apnea affects the quality of the sleep, turning the person sleepy and irritable during the day, with high risk for traffic accidents.

There are also cardiovascular problems. If during sleep, there are more respiratory pauses of over 10 seconds, at least 10 times per hour, apnea is present. Obesity must be fought against through diet and exercising. In severe cases, special masks that introduce the air to the respiratory paths must be used.

12. Alzheimer’s or senile dementia affects about 4,5 million Americans, men and women. Women experience it more often as they live longer.
