Decrease in sexual desire. Why you no longer want?
“Not tonight, I have a headache.” Perhaps the most common excuse of all time to avoid its “conjugal duties” does not go out of fashion (they know too many), but the decrease in sexual desire is unfortunately still today, perhaps more than in the past, a scourge that afflicts many established couples. There are many causes behind this discomfort individual or couple who can sometimes come to decree the end of an otherwise happy. Suspicions that the attitude of our partners hide an extramarital affair, it is often the first reaction in response of his desire in us.
Spectrum of betrayal are added frequently feelings of inadequacy dictated by fear of not being more attractive for the / of our / to him / her and resentment often destined to remain unspoken. Condition that can lead to expulsion, and finally to break. At the root of the problem, however, are often easy to identify and address causes: the loss of libido may be dictated by an inconvenience to the couple, a hormonal disorder, terms of psychological discomfort of either partner. In any case it is crucial to recognize that you have a problem and nourish the will to solve peacefully to pursue their individual existence and torque.
When the cause is a disorder of sex hormones may be used, of course prescription, a hormonal therapy with the assumption that a direct action of androgens on increasing sexual desire. Instead should consult a mental health professional when the problem is the result of depression or anxiety that can lead to conditions of motivation and disinterest in sexual activity. Even some medical ailments such as the cancer, l ‘hypertension and diabetes may imply a loss of libido, as well as having undergone major surgery or taking of specific drugs such as antipsychotics.
But sometimes the problem is rooted in the present relationship difficulties within the couple: the sexual desire and the intimate life are among the first pieces of the life of the couple to suffer from a lack of communication characterized by the coexistence and mutual understanding of completely devoid of emotional exchange, typical of partners who have renounced the sharing of emotions and moods. In this case it may be useful to couple therapy that helps to find partners and rethink as a couple. Of course all this may concern some particular moments of life and represent only a temporary inconvenience, but if it lasts a long time, better not sleep on it!
Renal and excessive consumption of cola drinks
Bad news for lovers of cola drinks. It seems that their excessive consumption (equivalent to two cans a day) predisposes to the development of chronic kidney diseases. This, at least, is the figure emerged from a study conducted by a team of researchers from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and published in Epidemiology. The analysis of the dietary habits of more than 400 people suffering from kidney stones, have allowed scholars, including the Italian biologist, Olga Basso, to determine, after excluding the existence of other possible risk factors, that there is a link including renal disorders, first of all calculations, and the consumption of cola.
A cause kidney problem is phosphoric acid present in large amounts in such beverages. Phosphoric acid would have the power to bind (and subtract) the calcium in bones making them weaker and thus promote the formation of crystals by attaching become kidney stones. Already in 2003, Katherine L. Tucker, the Congress of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research, presented researches from which similar results were obtained that were then linked to the deficit of bone mineralization in women who constituted the sample.
Other studies had already identified the negative effects of excessive consumption of cola on health, represented by an increase in the level of cholesterol and the risk of hypertension and diabetes. Furthermore, the ever-present specter of the obesity even if you are taking diet drinks. But this is the first study that relates renal disorders with cola, but it seems that you do not run a particular risk, at least for the development of this type of disease, consuming other types of soft drinks. In any case, better to limit consumption and prefer healthier drinks like water, juices and, at worst, a glass of red wine.
Male or female? Tell me how you eat and I’ll tell you what sex your child will
It used to be said for mothers to eat red meat and salty foods to have a son and vegetables, fish and cake for a girl. But our grandmothers were right to give us this advice? He tried to solve the mystery of a research conducted in South Africa by biologist Elissa Cameron of the University of Pretoria.
Dr. Cameron has altered levels of sugar in the blood of experimental animals during the period prior to mating through the administration of water containing a steroid to inhibit the absorption of glucose. The comparison between the offspring of these mice with that of mice which had been given plain water showed that the largest number of females born was from the samples which showed a lower level of sugar in the blood. The data seem to contradict the old folk wisdom that eating more sweets during surely would have led to the birth of a child.
Especially as they are confirmed in a previous study that analyzed the offspring of laboratory mice with diabetes, had already led to conclude that mice with a high level of sugar in the blood give birth to more males. Is not yet known, however, how to lower blood sugar may increase the number of female births. The data, however, is really surprising that the same Dr. Cameron believes that our grandmothers did not entirely wrong despite the suggestions of his research seems to contradict them, for if it is true that the sweet consistently increase the level of blood sugar that happens over a period limited time which is followed by a drastic fall of glucose, while the same cannot be said for the red meat that has the power to raise the level of sugar in the blood for a longer period of time long and therefore be more stable.
