That Time of the Month

If you are a woman in your childbearing age, you must be menstruating every month, but chances are you still don’t know a few things about your period. Because our society puts it as something that "should be covered, hidden and cleaned up," even well informed women don't seem to know important details about how their body works. In fact, a 2012 Australian survey found that only "13 percent of women could correctly answer which days of their menstrual cycle they were fertile. Check out if you know-it-all about your periods.

You may feel like you are bleeding heavily but the truth is that most women lose between a few tablespoonfuls and a cupful of blood each month. This is not to say that super absorbent pads are not necessary sometimes.

Whatever You Call it, it is Still Menstruation

Most women are embarrassed to say they are on their periods and usually have code names with friends to say it.

It is a natural body process.

Period Synching is a Mystery


Period Synching is a Mystery

Ever heard of the term “Alfa chick”? It refers to the woman who synchs up all other women to the same period start time so all women in the group menstruate at the same time.

Men find ovulating women more attractive! One study from the Psychological Science journal discovered that men’s testosterone levels soared when they caught a whiff of clothing worn by ovulating women vs. experiencing lower levels of testosterone when sniffing the clothes of non-ovulating women. This suggests a male biological urge to mate with women are at their most fertile.

You’ve Plenty of Eggs



You’ve Plenty of Eggs

The average female is born with roughly 2-million eggs at her disposal. By the time she hits puberty that number decreases to around 40,000. However, you’ll only ever release 500 eggs in a lifetime so don’t fear a shortage.

HIGH CALORIE HEALTHY FOODS BIOGRAPHY


Five major food groups

The five food groups are:
vegetables and legumes/beans
fruit
lean meats and poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts and seeds, legumes/beans
grain (cereal) foods, mostly wholegrain and/or high cereal fibre varieties
milk, yoghurt, cheese and/or alternatives, mostly reduced fat.
Foods are grouped together because they provide similar amounts of key nutrients. For example, key nutrients of the milk, yoghurt, cheese and alternatives group include calcium and protein, while the fruit group is a good source of vitamins, especially vitamin C.

These food groups make up the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating. 

Choose a variety of foods

Eating a varied, well-balanced diet means eating a variety of foods from each food groups daily, in the recommended amounts. It is also important to choose a variety of foods from within each food group because different foods provide different types and amounts of key nutrients.

Choosing a variety of foods will help to make your meals interesting, so that you don’t get bored with your diet. 

Occasional foods

Some foods do not fit into the five food groups because they are not necessary for a healthy diet. These foods are called ‘discretionary choices’ and they should only be eaten occasionally. They tend to be too high in either energy (kilojoules), saturated fat, added sugars, added salt or alcohol, and have low levels of important nutrients like fibre.

Examples of ‘discretionary choices’ or occasional foods are:
sweet biscuits, cakes, desserts and pastries
processed meats and fattier/salty sausages, savoury pastries and pies, commercial burgers with a high fat and/or salt content
sweetened condensed milk
ice cream and other ice confections
confectionary and chocolate
commercially fried foods
potato chips, crisps and other fatty and/or salty snack foods including some savoury biscuits
cream, butter and spreads which are high in saturated fats
sugar-sweetened soft drinks and cordials, sports and energy drinks and alcoholic drinks.

Small allowance for healthy fats

Unsaturated fats are an important part of a healthy diet. The two main types of unsaturated fats are monounsaturated fats (found in olive and canola oil, avocados, cashews and almonds) and polyunsaturated fats like omega-3 fats (found in oily fish) and omega-6 fats (found in safflower and soybean oil and Brazil nuts). These fats can help reduce the risk of heart disease and lower cholesterol levels when they replace saturated fats in the diet. 

The Australian Dietary Guidelines include a small allowance for healthy fats each day (around 1–2 tablespoons for adults and less for children). The best way to include healthy fats in your diet is to replace saturated fat that you may currently be eating (such as butter and cream) with a healthier, unsaturated fat option (such as polyunsaturated margarine or olive oil).

Enough calories to be satisfying, but not so many that the snack becomes a meal.
Less fat and saturated fat than other similar snacks.
Whole grain and fiber, protein, and/or other nutrients that give them staying power.

How to Improve Your Relationship Using Science


If you are in a long-term relationship, have you ever wondered about what really makes it work? Is there actual scientific evidence showing that honesty, commitment, and romantic feelings all contribute in a positive way to a relationship? The answer is that there is a lot of psychological research which backs all this up. Here are 9 scientific finding that can help improve your relationships. Science to the rescue again!

1. HOW COMMITTED ARE YOU?

How many times have you heard your friends say there was no commitment from the other partner? This is a very common explanation as to why relationships end.
What does commitment mean in real terms? It means that you and your partner will be able to weather any storm,  are in it for the long haul, and will support each other, come what may. It is the true mark of a great team where the health of the relationship is put first and the individual partner in second place.
There is a very interesting article in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletinwhich backs this up. The researchers, Arriaga and Agnew, found that the idea of being in it for the long term was an essential element to a stable and lasting relationship.

2. IS A KISS JUST A KISS?

Research on our nearest animal relatives, the chimpanzees, shows that kissing is a much more powerful bonding element than we may have thought. There are powerful physical changes which take place. For example, a passionate kiss can set off a whole chain of chemical reactions which involve hormones and neurotransmitters which start rushing through us. Dopamine is one of the most powerful neurotransmitters set off by a kiss and can put you on a very natural high. Adrenaline and serotonin are also triggered into action.
Studies have shown that there is a definite correlation between the frequency ofkissing and the quality of the relationship. The more the merrier.

3. VIEWING YOUR PARTNER AS AN ATTACHMENT FIGURE

The supreme example of an attachment figure for a child is a loving parent. That is the figure to whom s/he turns to seek validation and support. Siblings and friends can also be important attachment figures. A similar process happens when you form a romantic relationship with someone. It is made stronger by physical intimacy and bonding. These figures fill the spaces in our lives and they are the first we seek out to celebrate our successes and console us in our failures. The stronger the attachment, the better the chances are of the relationship being a stable and a happy one.

4. DO YOU HAVE POSITIVE ILLUSIONS ABOUT YOUR PARTNER?

 “Love is not blind-It sees more and not less, but because it sees more it is willing to see less.” – Will Moss
Most people would say that if you have any illusions about your partner this might prove to be negative in the long run. But science has shown that the opposite may be true. Romantic love is full of positive illusions which makes you see an idealized version of your partner. But is this healthy and wise?
A positive image is typical at the beginning of a relationship but time will reveal your partner’s defects, bad habits, and other negative features. Studies show that the more you know, the less you are likely to stay in love. Certainly, this is true for divorcees who shudder when they think how on earth they could have fallen head over heels in love with him or her.
Research is now favoring the view that certain positive illusions can help the relationship to last the longest. Studies show that these couples argue less and are happier.
“Happiness is good health and a bad memory.” – Ingrid Bergman

5. HOW INDEPENDENT ARE YOU?

Most relationships seem to function better when there is a certain amount of autonomy in the relationship and the couple feel they do not have to act in tandem all the time. There is no feeling of coercion in making choices. You may want time and space to pursue a hobby or interest or even meet with friends.
Sonja Lyubomirsky, author of The How of Happiness: A New Approach to Getting the Life You Want makes it very clear in her book how autonomy can lead to less stress and greater happiness.
“To find yourself, think for yourself.”- Socrates

6. HAVE YOU TOLD ANY LIES TODAY?

Normally, lying is considered toxic for any relationship, as it can erode any trust you may have built up. Psychologists, however, draw a distinction between two types of lying.
The first is anti-social lying and here you can lie to manipulate a situation in your favor or simply to deceive your partner. This is always regarded as a betrayal of trust and can destroy a relationship
The second type is called pro-social lying and this is where you lie to avoid breaking bad news at the wrong time or simply to avert a nasty situation or not to hurt your partner’s feelings. This is regarded with tolerance and is often known as a ‘white lie.’ Sometimes these lies can help to protect a relationship from breaking up. This was the conclusion reached by researchers led by Robin Dunbar atOxford University.

7. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF PHYSICAL AFFECTION

Did you know that a calming hormone called oxytocin is released when we kiss, hold hands, or simply hug each other, and also when orgasm is reached during sex? The physical benefits can only enhance feelings of well-being and will be an important element in helping to build a happy and more stable relationship. It is also important in reinforcing a sense of trust which is crucial for any long-term liaison. Physical contact is a boon. Studies show that there is a very strong link between high-quality relationships and frequent physical contact.

8. A GREAT INVESTMENT FOR YOUR HEALTH

Experts are now telling us that it is well worth your while to dedicate time and effort in building a stable and long-lasting relationship such as marriage or other type of civil partnership. Why? The physical and mental health benefits are so great that they will positively affect your quality of life and help you live longer
Researchers at Cardiff University say that women benefit from better mental health while men seem to be physically healthier. They regard it as a sound investment and well worth the effort.

9. LEARN HOW TO GROW THE RELATIONSHIP

Probably the biggest threat to any stable relationship is the risk of getting into a rut. Following the same old routine in going out, in lovemaking, and in eating guarantees that boredom will set in. Boredom is like a virus and often takes a hold resulting in dissatisfaction and conflict.
The statistics do not lie on this one. Relationships are more relaxed and happier when new things are explored together. Simple things like having a regular date night may appeal to some couples or taking up a new hobby together can set the tone for discovering new and wonderful things in your life.
Let us know in the comments how you manage to improve your relationships.

Benefits Of Cow Milk




Cow milk forms the basis of all types of dairy products. People have been drinking it since 6,000-8,000 BC. Earlier, milk and other dairy products were consumed only by the wealthy people. However, with time, it came to be within reach of the poor people as well. In the beginning of 5th century A.D, the milk of both sheep and cow came to be prized. It was in 14th century that cow’s milk began to be more popular than the sheep. In the early part of the 17th century, dairy cows were brought into America from Europe. Milk is rich in a number of nutrients, which make it a highly health beneficial food. We bring you the health benefits of cow’s milk, in the lines below.
 
Health Benefits Of Drinking Cow’s Milk
 
  • Cow’s milk is highly rich in calcium content. Calcium is essential for the growth and development of bones. It joins with phosphorous to form calcium phosphate, which is an integral element of hydroxyapatite, which in turn provides structure and strength to the bones.
  • The calcium present in cow’s milk has several other advantages as well. It helps in protecting the colon cells from the chemicals that cause cancer. It is preventive against the migraine headaches and also reduces the PMS symptoms at the time of the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle.
  • Calcium is beneficial in preventing obesity amongst children. It also helps overweight adults to weight, especially around the midsection.
  • The calcium present in milk helps in oxidation of body fat and thus, decreases the secretion of parathyroid hormone. Hence, the level of this hormone is maintained at a low rate.
  • Calcium is highly beneficial against breast cancer. It also plays an integral role in blood clotting, muscle contraction, blood pressure regulation and cell membrane function.
  • Cow’s milk contains the high-quality protein in rich quantity, which is of great importance to the body.
  • Milk can prove extremely helpful in fighting against gout, which is a common type of arthritis.
  • Cow’s milk contains riboflavin (vitamin B2) and vitamin B12. Both the vitamins are functional in the production of energy for the body. The vitamins are also functional in cardiovascular protection.
  • Vitamin B12 plays a significant role in the production of red blood cells. Further, it prevents anemia and helps in the full development of nerve cells. Besides, it boosts the cells to metabolize carbohydrate, fat and protein.
  • Cow’s milk contains iodine in rich quantity, which is an integral component of the thyroid hormones triidothyronine and thyroxine.
  • The vitamin A present in cow’s milk is necessary for the growth and development of epithelial and mucosal tissues. These tissues protect the body against toxins and invading organisms. Shortage of vitamin A leads to several diseases, like frequent cold, ear infections, rheumatoid arthritis and others.
  • One cup of cow’s milk provides 10.8% of the daily body’s need for potassium. Potassium is required for the contraction of muscles, including the heart and is also necessary for nerve transmission.
  • Milk, being rich in calcium and potassium, prevents the formation of kidney stones in the body.
 
Caution
  • Cow’s milk is generally seen to have allergic reactions in some people. The reactions are seen even if the milk is not consumed in the pure, isolated form. For instance, yogurt is a common allergenic food. The most common allergy symptoms found with the intake of cow’s milk are itching, swelling of lips, throat or tongue; skin rash, nasal congestion and dizziness.
  • Milk contains 4.7% lactose, which cannot be digested by many individuals, owing to the lack of the enzyme, lactase.
  • In many places, cow is treated with a compound called recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGh). Some studies have shown that this hormone leads to some health risks, like mastitis, infertility and lameness.
 
Cooking Tips
  • Cow’s milk can be consumed in a variety of ways. Some of the most widely eaten milk products are yogurt, butter, cheese and ghee.
  • Cow’s milk should be boiled before drinking. Boiled milk stays fresh for a longer time in the refrigerator.
