"Firstly Let me Clear you that Addicting to Masturbation is very dangerous,Do you hear me,It's highly addictive and has many defects on your Health so please Do not make it an Addiction"

Science has shown that masturbating can provide plenty of healthy benefits.

A recent study from adult product peddler AdamandEve.com reveals that 27 percent of Americans admit to masturbating once or twice a week.

That number seems suspiciously low to us, especially since science has shown that being master of your domain can provide additional feel-great benefits. (Also because the people surveyed were browsing an adult toy website.)

“Masturbation is part of a healthy sex life,” says Gloria Brame, Ph.D., a clinical sexologist. “It’s totally safe and harmless. It’s healthier than brushing your teeth every day.”

It prevents cancer.

 An Australian study found that men who ejaculated more than five times a week were a third less likely to develop prostate cancer.

Disease-causing toxins build up in your urogenital tract and when you rub one out, you flush the bad guys out of your system, says Brame.

It makes you harder. 

As you age, you naturally lose muscle tone... even down there.

Regular sex or masturbation works out your pelvic floor muscles to prevent erectile dysfunction and incontinence

Manages Stress And Depression

Boosts Your Mood

Helps You Last Longer on Bed with your Partner

Improves Sperm Motility

It ups your immunity. 

Ejaculation increases levels of the hormone cortisol, says Jennifer Landa, M.D., a specialist in hormone therapy. Cortisol, which usually gets a bad rap as a havoc-wrecking stress hormone, actually helps regulate and maintain your immunity in the small doses.


“Masturbation can product the right environment for a strengthened immune system,”

Prevents Pregnancy And STDs

Last but not the least, this one is for both you and your girl! For couples not intending to get the girl pregnant, masturbation is a safe way of attaining sexual satisfaction without vaginal penetration which would otherwise lead to an unintended pregnancy. If the man’s penis is rubbed around the vulva and spills sperms there, there could be a chance of getting pregnant. Masturbation poses no risk of contracting an STD. However, mutual masturbation may however result in exchange of sexual fluids when partners touch each other’s genitals, says Dr Nawal.

What is Alzheimer's Disease

• Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia, a general term for memory loss and other intellectual abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer's disease accounts for 60 to 80 percent of dementia cases. 
• Alzheimer's is not a normal part of aging, although the greatest known risk factor is increasing age, and the majority of people with Alzheimer's are 65 and older. But Alzheimer's is not just a disease of old age. Up to 5 percent of people with the disease have early onset Alzheimer's (also known as younger-onset), which often appears when someone is in their 40s or 50s.
• Alzheimer's worsens over time. Alzheimer's is a progressive disease, where dementia symptoms gradually worsen over a number of years. In its early stages, memory loss is mild, but with late-stage Alzheimer's, individuals lose the ability to carry on a conversation and respond to their environment. Alzheimer's is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. Those with Alzheimer's live an average of eight years after their symptoms become noticeable to others, but survival can range from four to 20 years, depending on age and other health conditions. 
• Alzheimer's has no current cure, but treatments for symptoms are available and research continues. Although current Alzheimer's treatments cannot stop Alzheimer's from progressing, they can temporarily slow the worsening of dementia symptoms and improve quality of life for those with Alzheimer's and their caregivers. Today, there is a worldwide effort under way to find better ways to treat the disease, delay its onset, and prevent it from developing.

Affection and closeness

Different strokes

Unless you've been hiding under a rock, you'll know that earlier this week the World Health Organization declared processed meat as definitively carcinogenic to humans and red meat as "probably" carcinogenic. As a nutritionist and an avid follower of dietary trends and analysis, I found this one interesting. Vegetarians and vegans rejoiced and the media cranked out a combination of sensationalist and alarmist headlines
Firstly, the news that processed meat is carcinogenic (cancer-causing) is not new but has been brewing for decades. That shouldn't necessarily be surprising - especially if you've seen documentaries like "Food, Inc." (essential viewing.) So you mean Spam and hot dogs aren't good for us? No way! Come on everyone, whether you want to believe it or not, it's hard to see how processed meat can be either health-promoting or nourishing in any shape or form.

1. Avoid processed meat the vast majority of the time. 

Remember this includes ham, bacon (cue weeping), sausages and any meat item (turkey/chicken included) that has been salted/cured/fermented/smoked or otherwise "preserved". If you are going to have it, try choosing an ethical brand such as Applegate or Niman Ranch. But do note that according to the IARC, the Applegate/Niman Ranch deli meats and sausages would still fall into this category as they are either salted, smoked or contain nitrites (albeit naturally occurring nitrites from celery.) If you or your children rely on deli meat for lunch boxes, it's time to start branching out. Try hummus and cucumber, nut butter and fruit-only jam, home roasted organic chicken, avocado and tomato.... there are lots of options! We're in this one together friends, it's going to mean a change in my house too.

2. Pick good quality, grass-fed (and preferably organic) red meat options, occasionally.

Every food purchase you make casts a vote at the checkout so buying organic and grass-fed supports animal welfare. If you think that's pointless (given that your meat, after all, is ultimately dead, then watch this video and get back to me!) If you like red meat, try grass-fed beef or lamb in small portion sizes (1/4 of your plate max). Grass-fed meat tastes different - it is more rich and has an intense flavor, so a little goes a long way. You may also find it more tough. That's not because there is anything wrong with it, but rather we are used to corn-fed beef which is softer (and less healthy.) It's more expensive so to manage the costs, dilute it with beans, lentils and vegetables - and have it less often.

3. Always eat your vegetables!

Regardless of whether you are having red meat or not, always fill half your plate with non-starchy vegetables or salad. These are packed full of cancer-preventing antioxidants that help to neutralize oxidative damage in the body.

4. Be careful how you cook red meat.

Processing red meat triggers the formation of cancer-causing chemicals such as n-nitroso-compounds (NOCs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Cooking even good quality red meat at a high temperature also forms PAHs and herterocyclic aromatic aminos (HAAs) too. I have written a column with specific recommendations on this previously (especially regarding BBQ!)

5. Be a healthy vegetarian.

If you're vegetarian or vegan, be a healthy one! There's no animal products in french fries or soda but they are arguably disease-promoting too (especially on a large scale.) Get your veggies in and stick to good quality vegetarian protein instead of processed veggie burgers and sausages.

6. Manage your health holistically. 

Remember, although it's a huge part of the picture, nutrition is not the whole picture when it comes to cancer prevention. Managing stress, taking exercise and staying well hydrated (with water!) are all important too.

• Patients with heart disease can worry about one less thing: German researchers find sex doesn't seem to trigger heart attacks, strokes or other unpleasant events.

The American Heart Association advises that sex after a heart attack is OK.

But patients don't always get that message, says Dr. Dietrich Rothenbacher, who led a small study at Ulm University in Germany.

It seems very unlikely that sexual activity is a relevant trigger of heart attack," Rothenbacher said in a statement.

"It is important to reassure patients that they need not be worried and should resume their usual sexual activity."

They questioned 536 heart disease patients aged between 30 and 70 years about their sexual activity before and after heart attacks, strokes and other types of sudden cardiovascular death.

About 15 percent of the patients said they'd had no sexual activity in the 12 months before their heart attack, 25 percent said they'd had sex about once a week and 55 percent said they had sex more than once a week, the team reported in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

Over the next 10 years, there were 100 heart attacks, strokes or other adverse events in the group.

The researchers looked to see what type of sexual activity had been going on before these events. Less than 1 percent of the patients said they'd had sex within an hour before.

There is one thing to watch out for, the researchers aid. Erectile dysfunction drugs work on blood flow and they can interact with some heart medications. Nitrate drugs for chest pain, for instance, can mix with the ingredients in Viagra, Cialis or similar drugs and cause a serious, sudden drop in blood pressure.

And so can drugs used to treat low blood pressure or prostate problems by increasing urination.

So don't Worry and have fun guys.Enjoy the Fullest.

Want to avoid catching a cold this winter? Start by getting more than six hours of sleep a night.

In what may be the first study of this kind, researchers say they found that adults who sleep less than five or six hours a night are four times more likely to catch a cold than than those who get at least seven or more hours of sleep.

“Sleep plays a role in regulating the immune system, and that’s how we think it influences susceptibility to the common cold,” said Aric A. Prather, an assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco, who is the lead author of the study, published this week in the journal Sleep.

Previous research had suggested a link between less sleep and higher vulnerability to colds, but that study relied on subjects self-reporting the number of hours they slept. The new study was the first to measure actual sleep. To do so, the researchers used a technique called wrist actigraphy, which uses a watchlike device with an accelerometer that measures movement and inactivity and which, when combined with sleep diaries, provides a more accurate accounting of sleep.

“This study reinforces the notion that sleep is just as important to your health as diet and exercise,” said Dr. Nathaniel F. Watson, president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. “People need to view sleep as a tool to achieve a healthy life, rather than as something that interferes with all their other activities.”

Many Americans don’t get enough sleep; a 2013 survey by the National Sleep Foundation said that one in five adults gets less than six hours of sleep on an average work night.

Poor sleep has been linked to numerous chronic illnesses, and new guidelines issued this year by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society urge adults to get seven or more hours of sleep per night on a regular basis to promote optimal health.

The guidelines say that sleeping less than seven hours per night is associated with weight gain, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and stroke, depression and premature death, as well as “impaired immune function, increased pain, impaired performance, increased errors and greater risk of accidents.”

The new study recruited 164 men and women aged 18 to 55 from the Pittsburgh area between 2007 and 2011, and put them through extensive health screenings, questionnaires and interviews to determine their levels of stress, their general temperament and their use of alcohol and tobacco. Then the researchers measured the subjects’ normal sleep habits for a week, before sequestering them in a hotel and deliberately administering them nasal drops containing the cold virus.


The volunteers were monitored for a week and daily mucus samples were collected to see if they had become infected.

Those who slept less than six hours a night the week before the exposure were 4.2 times more likely to catch the cold compared with those who got more than seven hours of sleep, researchers found. Those who slept less than five hours a night were 4.5 times more likely to catch the cold. (Those who slept just over six hours but less than seven weren’t at increased risk.)

It didn’t seem to matter whether the sleep was continuous or fragmented, Dr. Prather said. The results were adjusted to control for differences among subjects, including pre-existing antibody levels to the rhinovirus, age, sex, race, body mass index, the time of year when the trial was done, education, income, health habits such as smoking and physical activity, and psychological variables such as stress.

“The good thing about this is that there are opportunities for people to improve their sleep, and most people admit they need more and want more,” Dr. Prather said, adding, “it’s just about looking at the barriers and making it a priority.

After rigorous exercise, the muscle pain is more acute a day or two later rather than immediately. Why is that?

















Welcome to the equivocal effects of delayed onset muscle soreness, the scientific term for aches that accumulate and intensify a day or two after a strenuous workout. Usually, D.O.M.S. involves not just pain but also “loss of strength and range of motion in the affected area,” said Scott Sailor, a professor of kinesiology at Fresno State University in Fresno, Calif., and the president of the National Athletic Trainers’ Association.

D.O.M.S. commonly occurs after exercise that involves lengthening muscles while they contract, Dr. Sailor said, such as running downhill. But it can develop after any exertion that is more intense or prolonged than is normal for you.

Such strenuous workouts can cause multiple slight tears to the muscle tissue, after which a variety of cells and substances migrate to these muscles to help them start healing.

Interestingly, these substances are not necessarily the same as those that arrive after a more severe muscle injury. Molecules that promote inflammation and swelling, for instance, tend to predominate in tissues affected by a serious injury, but can be absent in tissue affected by D.O.M.S., recent studies show.

Similarly, “there was a time when we attributed the muscle soreness to lactic acid,” Dr. Sailor said. “We have now learned that lactic acid leaves the muscle so quickly” that it cannot be involved in causing D.O.M.S.

In essence, researchers remain puzzled about what cellular reactions cause D.O.M.S.

Likewise, there is controversy about how best to treat it.

“Various treatments have been attempted over the years,” said Dr. Sailor, including massage, icing and anti-inflammatory painkillers. “At best, they have decreased the perception of pain,” he said, but only temporarily. No treatment yet has been shown to actually reduce the length of time that muscles remain sore and weak.

So if you do develop D.O.M.S., accept that, for the next five to seven days, you are going to be sore. Refrain from strenuous exercise during this time, Dr. Sailor said, although gentle walking is fine.

And, if it is any consolation, your muscles should be stronger after they recover.

In your future workouts, Dr. Sailor said, increasing the duration or intensity gradually should increase strength and fitness to limit the potential of experiencing the effects of D.O.M.S.

Filtered sunlight is a cheap, effective way to treat infant jaundice, according to a study by Stanford researchers.

Jaundice — caused by an excess of bilirubin in the blood — leads to brain damage or death in about 150,000 babies a year in poor countries. The problem is common in newborns, whose livers sometimes need several days after birth to generate the enzymes needed to break down bilirubin, which is released when red blood cells break down. Yellow skin and eyeballs are common symptoms.

In wealthy countries, jaundiced newborns are placed for several days under sunlamps that emit extra blue wavelengths of light and minimal ultraviolet or infrared ones.

It was established during World War II that artificial sunlight cures jaundice, which more than 28,000 soldiers developed after getting yellow fever vaccine made from human blood.

For years, American research focused on drugs to block bilirubin formation, while hospitals relied on lamps and, in extreme cases, transfusions to treat patients.

But hospitals in poor countries may be unable to afford lamps or may lack a steady electricity supply to run them.

The Stanford team, whose work was published last month in The New England Journal of Medicine, tested whether real sunlight —which is plentiful at many hospitals in tropical climes — could be made safe enough for babies to lie in for hours a day.

They treated 433 babies for jaundice at a hospital in Lagos, Nigeria. Half received sunlamp phototherapy, and half slept in outdoor cribs or their mothers’ laps under canopies of plastic film that filtered out ultraviolet and infrared rays.

The sunlight treatment was slightly more effective, and the children did not have more sunburn, dehydration or overheating.

The researchers have designed a small greenhouse to be used in windier or colder climates.

Chinese men now smoke one-third of all the world’s cigarettes, and a third of all young men in China are doomed to eventually die from the habit, scientists in China and Britain have concluded.

Their study, published last week in The Lancet, estimated that two-thirds of all males in China smoked, more were still taking up the habit and more were starting as teenagers, which adds risk.

With population growth stagnant, the number of men 60 or older is expected to double by 2030, and the number dying of smoking-related ailments each year will triple, hitting three million a year by 2050.

More smokers are stopping by choice, the study found, but still only 9 percent did so.

By contrast, smoking rates among women in China have dropped sharply; about 10 percent of older women smoke, but only about 1 percent of middle-aged women do. However, another recent study detected rapid increases among teenage girls in some regions.

Before China achieved prosperity, the Lancet study said, smokers typically started at age 25, more smoked pipes and many could not afford multiple cigarettes every day.

The study estimated future smoking-related deaths from many causes, including lung cancer, obstructive pulmonary disease, stroke, heart failure and other cancers. Lung disease rates are already high in China, even among nonsmokers, owing to urban air pollution and to indoor wood fires used by the rural poor.

The study was led by scientists from China’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and the University of Oxford.

Antismoking efforts in China face a difficult political situation: The central government has a monopoly through the Chinese National Tobacco Corporation, and more than 7 percent of government revenue comes from it.

According to an editorial accompanying the study, myths about smoking persist in China: that Asians are less susceptible to its dangers, that it is an ancient Chinese tradition and that quitting is easy.

For years , scientists have known of a sneaky way to kill mosquitoes: Give humans a deworming pill.

The active ingredient, ivermectin, kills not only worms infesting people but also mosquitoes who drink their drug-laden blood. (Ivermectin also kills lice, bedbugs and other blood-feeders. The drug’s inventors recently received a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.)

Turning everyone in a village into a walking mosquito bomb, many scientists agree, could stop or slow transmission of malaria, yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya and other diseases.

But villagers with worms normally receive only one or two pills a year. Researchers aren’t certain it is possible — or safe — to boost blood levels of ivermectin high enough to wipe out generations of mosquitoes during the biting season, which can last for months.

Scientists at the medical school of the University of Barcelona have come up with a novel alternative: Use livestock.

In a poster presentation at a meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene in Philadelphia last week, the researchers showed how they had implanted two-inch soft silicone rods releasing a steady dose of ivermectin under the skin of pigs.

Many poor farmers keep their animals near or even inside their homes to protect them from predators or thieves.

Some disease-carrying mosquito species alternate between biting animals and humans, said Dr. Carlos Chaccour, a researcher at the University of Barcelona’s Institute for Global Health and the University of Navarra. Ivermectin will kill most mosquitoes, but the dose needed varies by species.

Because not all poor farmers raise pigs — Muslims, for example, do not — the method will still need to be tested in cattle, goats, camels and other livestock.

Animals usually tolerate high doses of ivermectin safely, Dr. Chaccour said, but must be drug-free for some time before they are safe to eat. For example, cattle should not be slaughtered for food until 90 days after a single deworming treatment, according to guidelines by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization.

Scientists have developed the world's first portable lab-in-a-briefcase that can operate even at high temperatures, with the aim of boosting early detection rates of cancer in developing countries.

Believed to be the first kit of its kind dedicated to the portable measurement of cancer biomarkers, the concept is the brainchild of Dr Nuno Reis, a Lecturer at the Loughborough University in UK.

With the help of his Research Associate Ana Isabel Barbosa, Reis developed a solution for diagnostic testing in remote areas of developing countries that lack adequate technology to support a full laboratory.

The lab-in-a-briefcase comprises of four components; a manually driven multi-syringe device capable of performing up to 80 simultaneous tests from whole blood samples at any one time; microwell plates pre-loaded with assay reagents; a portable USB-powered film scanner to image the test strips; and a portable computer for real-time data analysis.

The entire system can be carried in a small briefcase, handbag or laptop case, and requires just one operator with minimal training to conduct the test within 15 minutes - with no need for additional equipment or instruments.

One of the remarkable features of the lab-in-a-briefcase is that it uses whole blood without the need for any sample preparation a previously challenging task outside of a laboratory setting. A new affordable and disposable microfluidic test strip comprising of tiny tubes about the size of a human hair is used specifically for the quick measurement of different types of cancer biomarkers in a whole blood sample.

This technology, which operates in a similar way to a pregnancy test, has already been used successfully by Reis in a separate study that detected prostate cancer with the help of a smartphone camera. "Our lab-in-a-briefcase is both inexpensive and simple to use; it means that high precision diagnostic kits, complete with clinical laboratory equipment, can be made accessible to remote populations, and this is what makes it a truly life-changing concept for the screening and monitoring of different types of cancer," Reis said.

"This portable lab can really make a difference, boosting levels of cancer detection in developing countries where ordinarily people would not have such easy access to early diagnostics," he said. The number of people dying from cancer in developing countries is on the increase, partly due to steadily ageing populations, but also due to limited access to proper diagnostic tools.

Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for over 8 million deaths per year, and 70 per cent of the world's cancer deaths occur in Africa, Asia and Central and South America.
The number of new cancer cases is expected to rise by 70% over the next two decades, researchers said. The study was published in the Lab on a Chip journal.

Researchers from Australia say they may have uncovered a way to make the seasonal flu vaccine more effective, by adding a string of synthetic fat molecules that boost the body's immune response to the difference strains of the influenza virus.

It is estimated that worldwide, flu infections are responsible for around 3-5 million cases of severe illness and 250,000-500,000 deaths every year.

Young infants, pregnant women, adults aged 65 and older and those with weakened immune systems are at greatest risk for flu-related complications.

The best protection against flu is the seasonal flu vaccine, which is developed every year based on a prediction of which viruses are likely to be circulating. However, such predictions are sometimes far from accurate; earlier this year, a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) revealed that the 2014-15 flu vaccine was only 23% effective across all age groups.

People with an addiction do not have control over what they are doing, taking or using. Their addiction may reach a point at which it is harmful. Addictions do not only include physical things we consume, such as drugs or alcohol, but may include virtually anything, such abstract things as gambling to seemingly harmless products, such as chocolate - in other words, addiction may refer to a substance dependence (e.g. drug addiction) or behavioral addiction (e.g. gambling addiction).

 This article focuses mainly on addiction to physical substances.



 In the past addiction used to refer just to psychoactive substances that cross the blood-brain barrier, temporarily altering the chemical balance of the brain; this would include alcohol, tobacco and some drugs. A considerable number of psychologists, other health care professionals and lay people now insist that psychological dependency, as may be the case with gambling, sex, internet, work, exercise, etc. should also be counted as addictions, because they can also lead to feelings of guilt, shame, hopelessness, despair, failure, rejection, anxiety and/or humiliation.

 When a person is addicted to something they cannot control how they use it, and become dependent on it to cope with daily life.

Night terrors (or sleep terrors) differ substantially from standard nightmares and can be incredibly distressing for the sufferer and their family.

 Although night terrors can be genuinely terrifying, they are not normally an indicator of anything more serious and tend to cease of their own accord.

What are night terrors?

Night terrors are nocturnal episodes where the sufferer experiences terror, the sufferer may flail their limbs and scream and shout. Bouts are often associated with sleep walking.

Night terrors are most common in children, but adults can also suffer from them. A normal attack generally lasts between 30 seconds and 3 minutes, but can be substantially longer.1

Night terrors are unpleasant for all involved, but in general they are not a cause for medical concern.

A study conducted in Norway looking at various parasomnias (a category of sleep disorders) asked 1,000 random participants how often they had experienced night terrors. The results showed that 10.4% of respondents had experienced night terrors at one point in their life and 2.7% in the last 3 months. 2

A similar study was conducted in the UK. Of the 4,972 participants, 2.2% reported having experienced night terrors. 3

Extrapolating from these figures we can estimate that more than 7 million people in the US will have experienced night terrors at some point in their lives.

Signs and symptoms of night terrors

Night terrors differ from nightmares. In a nightmare the dreamer may wake up, but during night terrors they will generally stay asleep.

This difference is most likely because of the phase of sleep in which they occur. Nightmares tend to happen during rapid eye movement sleep (REM), towards the end of a night's sleep.

Night terrors, on the other hand, occur in the first third of the night during deeper sleep, also called slow wave sleep or non-REM sleep.4

The signs of a night terror episode can include the following:

◾Scream and shout
◾Sit up in bed
◾Kick and flail
◾Heavy breathing, racing pulse, and profuse sweating
◾Dilated pupils and increased muscle tone
◾Difficult to rouse from sleeping and general confusion if successfully woken
◾Stare wide-eyed as if awake but be unresponsive to stimuli
◾Behave aggressively (more common in adults)
◾Get out of bed and run around the house(D again)
◾Amnesia of the event

What causes night terrors?

There can be a number of potential causes or contributing factors where night terrors are concerned. Here is a short list of some of them:

◾Stress
◾sleep deprivation
◾Light or noise
◾An overfull bladder
◾Spending the night somewhere unfamiliar
◾Possible genetic component

1. You ignore heart health.

Heart disease is the number one killer of women, and risk rises as women age. Menopause doesn't cause cardiovascular disease. Rather, it's those bad habits earlier in life, such as smoking, obesity, and lack of exercise that can begin to take a toll on heart health in the 50 and over woman, according to the American Heart Association.

A September 2015 report issued by the CDC on so-called "heart age" versus biological age shows women, on average, have hearts that are five years older than actual chronological age. If a woman has high blood pressure (140 mm Hg or more), her heart's "age" is 18 years older than she is, according to the report.

But the good news is that it's not too late to change habits that increase your risk of heart disease, says Leslie Cho, M.D., director of the Cleveland Clinic's Women's Cardiovascular Center.

"Although some damage may already be done, the evidence points to the fact that changes you make in terms of getting more exercise, eating smarter, losing weight, and quitting smoking, no matter what your age, will benefit your heart," says Cho.

In fact, a study by the German Cancer Research Center of nearly 9,000 people between the ages of 50 and 74 showed that heart attack and stroke risk can be cut by some 40 percent within the first five years of tossing those cigarettes.

This is also the time to make sure you keep up with heart health tests such as blood pressure, blood glucose, and cholesterol testing. "Prevention or early detection, when problems can be easily treated, will help keep a woman active and healthy," says Cho.

Don't be afraid or embarrassed to ask for help. "If you are having problems with exercise or weight loss and blood pressure control, don't think you have to do everything on your own," she says. "Talk to your doctor. He or she can help you."

3. You think sex is over.

Research shows that your teeth can speak volumes about your overall health, so it’s important to be informed when it comes to taking care of your mouth.

Sugar is the main cause of tooth decay.

We’ve all heard it growing up:  Sugar will rot your teeth. But while sugar can lead to cavity formation – as well as a variety of other health maladies – it’s not the real culprit when it comes to tooth decay.

"This is a myth in a sense because sugar, while being 'the gasoline in the tank' is not the cause of tooth decay. It's actually acids from bacteria that have gone to the dark side,” Curatola told FoxNews.com. “We talk about good bugs and bad bugs; bad bugs are actually an unhealthy expression of natural bacteria in the mouth.”

“Bad bugs” are formed when you digest carbohydrates. Refined sugar is an example, but other carbohydrates can include healthy foods like vegetables, fruits and grains. These “bad bugs” produce acid in your mouth that, when combined with saliva, result in plaque formation.

Teeth whitening will damage your enamel.

The key ingredients in over-the-counter whitening products are hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which work as oxidizing agents to remove stains on the surface of the enamel. White strips, trays and pastes meant for at-home use usually contain about 3 to 10 percent of these active ingredients and are generally considered safe. Curatola noted as with everything, moderation is important.

“Really, the safest teeth whitening is done under the supervision of a dentist or a dental hygienist in a dental office … There's a lot of over-the-counter products that can damage your enamel,” said Curatola. “If the product is too acidic, the product is too strong …  Overuse or misuse of these products can cause the enamel to get fragile and even more porous. These are the kinds of things that really need more regulation, and they can be damaging, but teeth whitening by itself is a safe treatment.”

I recently Blogged About The consequences about Processed Meat and it's effects that it caused Cancer According to WHO.
But still the Accurate reason is hard to find and many Researchers are finding the correct reasons about it.

Here's a latest update given by Dr. Sanjay Gupta

Of the thousands of things the World Health Organization has studied for possible links to cancer, this week's announcement that hot dogs, bacon and other processed meats increase the risk of colon cancer was especially hard to swallow for many.

It's a finding that has many seeking a deeper understanding about what this means.

Is eating bacon as bad as smoking? Exactly how much processed meat is harmful? Are your children at risk?


Lots of meat-eaters have enjoyed long lives and never got cancer. Why should I change my eating habits?

This is a discussion about risk across populations of people. There are smokers who live a long time as well. In just about everything we do in life -- we are constantly (sometimes subconsciously) evaluating the risk and benefit. With regard to this new study: It really comes down to balancing your risk tolerance with your love of bacon.


What exactly is a processed meat?

The World Health Organization (WHO) report defines processed meat as "meat that has been transformed through salting, curing, fermentation, smoking, or other processes to enhance flavour or improve preservation." Many processed meats may contain other red meats or meat by-products.


Everything causes cancer! Why take this seriously?

It is true that we are exposed to all sorts of different carcinogens, even before we are born. What is interesting here is that based on 800 studies looking back 20 years, we can better quantify risk -- as is the case with processed meats and colon cancer.


How much processed meat can I give my kids before their risk for cancer increases?

 This new report looked at daily consumers of processed meat and concluded that each 50-gram portion of processed meat increases the risk of colorectal cancer by 18%. That's the equivalent of two pieces of bacon, two slices of ham, or one piece of smoked sausage.


If I can't see myself stopping my meat consumption and eat it in moderation, what is my best bet?

This new WHO report classifies processed meat as Group 1 -- carcinogenic to humans -- based on sufficient scientific evidence. Red meat is classified as Group 2A -- probably carcinogenic to humans -- based on limited scientific evidence. For now, you're better off with red, unprocessed meats.
