Few tips to stay sexually active and satisfied.

If you are in a relationship, enjoy your partner fully and at all levels- intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, sensually and of course sexually. To do that, it helps if you can enjoy being and knowing yourself at these levels too. Get familiar and loving with your body, learn what it likes and enjoys, and stop criticizing your belly or legs or nose or whatever! Make time to sensually explore your body in different ways.

Explore also the contours of your own desires, both in fantasy and in actually if it is safe and possible- for you to do so. You don’t need a partner to be and stay sexually satisfied and happy.

You probably know that no two sexual encounters are the same. So take it easy. Sometimes it will be passionate and hot, sometimes you might not feel like it at all. That’s fine too. It’s the little lull that contributes as well to the richness of a life sexually well-lived.

Pamper yourself. It does not require much. Think of a combination of the right lighting, clothes and music if you want it, incense if you like. Create condition in which you feel comfortable and able to relax into being yourself.

Natural Skincare: Know The Health of Your Skin

Our skin is the largest organ of the body comprising water, proteins, lipids and different chemicals.

Its primary function is to act as a protective barrier against infections and environments and provide sensations for heat, pain, cold, pressure and touch. This article is not about beauty but skin health.

The epidermis or the outermost layer of the skin holds a large amount of water and is responsible for the look and health of the skin. As we age, the capacity of the skin to retain water decreases, making the skin more vulnerable to dehydration and wrinkles.

Keratin is the protein presents in the skin - responsible for imparting body and strength to the skin. Elastin and collagen, on the other hand, impart elasticity and help to ward off the wrinkles and fine lines.Maintaining optimum levels is a must to postpone wrinkles; having unclogged blood vessels and sweat glands is the secret to a radiant skin.

Nutrients help to cleanse and nourish our skin from within and also delay the process of ageing.

* Vitamin A: This fat-soluble vitamin, abundantly found in brightly colored fruits and vegetables (carrots, tomatoes, spinach, papaya etc.) and low-fat milk products are essential for the maintenance and healing of tissues present on the outermost layer of skin.

* Vitamin B: B Vitamins are yet another group of vitamins which help to maintain normal skin functions including the functioning of the oil-producing glands which keep the skin moist and smooth. Lack of these in our diets leads to dry and scaly skin. Best sources include whole grains, sprouted pulses, bananas, potatoes and eggs.

* Vitamin E: Being a potent antioxidant, Vitamin E aids in protecting our skin cells from sunlight, pollution, drugs and other elements that produce cell-damaging free radicals.This antioxidant helps to slow the ageing of skin cells by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Best sources include fish, eggs, chicken. almonds, leafy vegetables, peanuts, till seeds and supplements like fish oil and evening primrose oil.

* Selenium And Zinc: While selenium reduces the risk of sunburn, the mineral zinc helps to maintain collagen and elastin (the cells which impart firmness to skin and prevent sagging and wrinkles). Zinc also has a role in controlling the production of oil in the skin, and hence helps to control some of the hormones that create acne. These skin friendly nutrients can be found in nuts like almonds and walnuts, whole grains, seafood (especially fatty fish like mackerel, salmon), soya beans, mushrooms, pumpkin seeds and wheatgerm.

This is simple guide on skin nutrients. Today, our busy lifestyle leaves less time for pampering our skin and this results in our skin losing its youthful lustre. No matter how many vitamin pills we pop or how much of creams and lotion we apply- our skin care regimen is not complete without proper nutrition.

Whey is one of the two proteins found in milk and milk products and it is obtained as a by-product while making cheese.

Whey protein is a fusion of globular proteins that can be separated from whey. Whey Protein is known to be a very rich source of amino acids and it contains minimal fats and cholesterol.

Whey Protein concentrates have a high and balanced amino acids profile. The lactose, calorific fat and sodium content is low. They possess a good emulsifying capacity and are compatible with other ingredients. it exhibits flavour-enhancement characteristics and can be used as a supplement to boost other proteins which are low in specific amino acids. it is bland in flavour. the good functional properties of the whey protein concentrates - solubility, emulsification, foaming, heat-setting, fat binding and water holding - make its use in many food products like beverages, confectionary, desserts, meat products and bakery products possible.

Some benefits of whey protein include:

Provides the most optimal source of essential amino acids which is critical for the repair and growth of muscle tissue - particularly after a workout.
Boosts immune function by increasing levels of glutathione (the most potent antioxidant in the body).
Increases the anabolic environment and prevents muscle breakdown, thereby assisting the muscle-building effects of intense weight training and exercise.
Helps to maintain balanced nutrition by supporting both healthy weight-loss (as an appetite suppressant) and muscle enhancing nutritional programs (whey protein is the precursor to building muscle tissue).
Studies have shown that whey may potentially reduce cancer rates, combat HIV, improve immunity, reduce stress and lower cortisol, increase brain serotonin levels, improve liver function in those suffering from certain forms of hepatitis, reduce blood pressure and improve performance.

What Are The Whey Protein Side Effects?

If you have lactose intolerance, you should select a pure whey protein isolate, having less than 0.1 gm of lactose per tablespoon (20 gm).
People who are allergic to diary products could react to whey and should, therefore, avoid it.
As with all proteins, long-term intake may be associated with deteriorating kidney function and possibly osteoporosis.
High doses of whey can be harmful to the liver.
