Health and Relationship

  The way you fight, hug, make love, and even eat as a couple can speak volumes about the state of your relationship. Some of us can be rather oblivious to the oh-so-obvious signs body language can reveal in those everyday situations inevitably faced by long-term partners. If you are one of those adorably clueless souls, worry not; we’ve got your back! Here are three everyday situations; read on to discover what your potential body language during these scenarios can reveal about your relationship: First Scenario: The “Hello Darling, I’m Home!” Kiss Good Signs: Lips that linger just a second too long signals, “I’m glad to see you and wish we could be doing more of this”. According to LA-based psychotherapist, Stella Resnick, Ph.D., “People express warmth by hugging with their full bodies. They press their hearts together to reestablish their intimacy after spending time apart.” Warning Signs: Encountering hard, closed lips is a bad sign; it signifies tension and a potential evasio...

   Men are believed to be less emotional than women. It’s said that they can do without an external display of affection. Well, we are taught not to be expressive. But if you recognize these little things in us, it will mean the world to us: 1. Being handsome We love to compliment our partners and tell them how beautiful they are. But sometimes, just the word ‘handsome’ sent our way would make us feel amazing. It just gives us the confidence we need. When we put in the effort to look good, this simple word can make all of it worth it. 2. Making someone proud We strive towards ambitions and goals. We can work like a mule to get what we want. But all of it is extremely tiring. We don’t complain – that’s how we are. But a reassurance from our loving partner that we make them proud can work wonders. It can easily drain off all exhaustion and charge us back to full power. 3. Noticing the difference Men build their bodies. We work out and strive to get those difficult abs and bicep...

 If you are a morally upright and decent human being, then you would consider hygiene to be a very important aspect of your daily routine. And that might mean you taking a bath every morning as you get ready to face the day that’s in front of you. You might even have a solid routine already locked down with regard to your bathing habits. However, you have to know that the way in which you take a bath can say a lot about your personality. The way that one person might take a bath isn’t necessarily going to be the same as how other people do it. You might not really have noticed, but typically, when you take a bath, you’re going to go straight to a specific body part. And on a subconscious level, the body part that you choose to wash first can say a lot about what kind of personality you have. And if you’re curious as to what kind of implications your bathing habits can have on your personality, then just continue to read on until the end of this article. Check which personality tra...

 Have you ever heard of “squirting”? We’re talking about female ejaculation of course. Thanks to exaggerated portrayals of female ejaculation in porn movies, many women think they’re not capable of it. “Wrong,” says Mariah Freya, an expert and founder of the online platform Beducated.com. According to Freya, every woman is capable of squirting. And here’s how. Let’s start with the theory. Squirting is colloquially used to describe female ejaculation. Upon stimulation of the bladder and the region surrounding the g-spot during sex or masturbation, the vagina is capable of releasing fluid. “Scientists assume that the female prostate, the Skene’s gland, is responsible for this,” Freya explains. What does the secreting fluid consist of? Contrary to some expectations, the fluid is neither urine nor cervical mucus. “The liquid is entirely colorless”, according to Freya. However, it may contain some urine because it is produced in the urethra. Nevertheless, it’s a discrete fluid with a u...

 Did you know that more than 75% of women are likely to get a vaginal yeast infection? Having an unhealthy vagina can be quite devastating and can affect your libido and fertility. It can interfere with your relationship, cause stress and lower your self-confidence. Unfortunately, any minor infection down presents a threat and can cause health problems. If you notice anything different, consult your gynecologist as fast as you can. Meanwhile, here are the 5 warning signs that indicate your vagina is unhealthy: 1. Itching and Burning Constant burning and itching sensation can indicate a great number of vaginal infections.

Itching can be also caused by creams, soaps and contraceptive foams. 2. Bleeding During and After Intercourse Bleeding during and after intercourse can be a sign of vaginal infection, vagina...

 HOW many times have you noticed a little itch or bump… down there? If the answer is “never”, you’re either lying to yourself or you’re not examining your vagina enough. Because it’s not just your boobs you should be checking on the regular – your vulva (that’s the fleshy outer bit of your vag) also needs some attention to make sure nothing odd is going on. Most of the time, small changes are nothing to worry about. It could be that your underwear is irritating the area, or you’ve got an easily-treatable infection. But if you don’t check, you’ll never know. And although it’s unlikely, you definitely don’t want to miss any early warning signs of things like vulval cancer – which is much more easily treated if you pick up on it ASAP. Consultant Gynaecologist, Anne Henderson said: “One of the main reasons people don’t treat infections is because they don’t know they have one as they simply don’t know the symptoms.” Anne recommends checking your intimate area several times a year, to ...

   Nail polish can seriously affect our heath, and a recent study has shown that many of the most popular American nail polish brands are actually the extremely harmful. The study involved 24 women and experts evaluated the effects of the chemical toxins in their bodies. The source of these chemicals was nail polish. All of the participants were found to have signs of triphenyl phosphate in the body only 10 hours after applying nail polish. The same researchers, in a follow-up study, evaluated 10 different nail polishes for triphenyl phosphate and found it in 8 of them. What’s more, two of these 8 did not even list the presence of the chemical on the label. Therefore, 20% of nail polishes we purchase have a harmful chemical that is not listed on the label. Triphenyl phosphate (or TPHP) is a dangerous chemical that disrupts the humans’ endocrine system, which controls all our hormones. According to the lead researcher of the study, Dr. Heather Stapleton, “There is growing evid...

 Estrogen is both the most loved and the most hated hormone. It’s definitely one of the most widely known hormones (if not the most widely known hormone). On the good side, estrogen is responsible for the growth and development of female sexual characteristics and reproduction. But on the flip side, it’s also responsible for mood swings and much more. Some people have low estrogen levels because of their genetics. Others end up with low levels because of a thyroid disorder. But whatever the cause, you need to identify the low estrogen symptoms and do something about it. And while estrogen levels can vary from person to person, it’s important to know what the normal level is and why estrogen is so important. Bear in mind, estrogen levels decline naturally as you age and get closer to menopause. Why estrogen is so important Estrogen is a hormone present in the body in small amounts. But even in small amounts, estrogen has a big role in helping you achieve overall good health.Commonl...

 Sex is as basic as food. Well, almost. Once you get the taste of it, there’s no turning back.
