The beginning of the year just seem like the ideal time to get a detox. Right after d stuffing & over-the-top indulgences of the Christmas /end-of-year celebrations, it would seem an intelligent decision to get a full body purge & be truly energized from within for the New Year.
But what does it truly mean to get a detox and why is it important? The simplest picture to paint is that of servicing an automobile. A good car can be used for months without being serviced but its performance slowly but surely degrades as its oil turns to sludge, break system wear out, and its mechanical parts go to disrepair until it eventually cranks up. By this time the joy of driving is gone and the car's become a liability.
By the same token the joy of living is gone for many due largely to their nonchalance, abusive lifestyle and outright failure to pay attention to the status of their health, thus jeopardizing the effective working of systems and vital internal organs such as the heart, liver and kidneys. This is why we recommend a detox.
Anyone who experiences some of the following symptoms will benefit from a detox program:
Do not let your health be a liability to you in 2015. Rather let it be an asset. Be proactive and get a Clean 9 detox kit today because when health fails, everything else crumbles.
Did you know that obesity can seriously hamper your sex
life? And not just because of the value society puts on attractiveness but the
various obesity-related issues which can lead to diseases, lack of sexual
stamina, sexual dysfunction and hormonal imbalance. Also the medicines you take
for various diseases that go hand-in-hand with obesity like diabetes, heart disease and hypertension can lead to lack of libido and erectile dysfunction among other sex-related
problems.
With 1.5 billion people around the world in the overweight
category, sex-related concerns of obesity is a situation various healthcare
services will have to deal with sooner than later. Results from a recent French survey of sexual behaviors
shows obese women more likely to have an unplanned pregnancy and obese men more
likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction. These findings is the first of its kind to
investigate the impact of being overweight or obese on sexual activity and
sexual health outcomes, such as sexual satisfaction, unintended pregnancy and abortion. The survey reported that the rate of unplanned pregnancies is four times higher among single obese women than normal weight women, despite them being less likely to have been sexually active in the past year. Obese women were also found to be less likely to seek contraceptive advice or to use oral contraceptives. Obese men were found to be less likely to seek contraceptive advice or to use oral contraceptives. Obese men were, even though found to have fewer sexual partners in a 12 month period were more likely to suffer from erectile dystfunction and develop sexually transmitted infections than normal weight men.
Here are the top ten ways obesity can actually harm your sex life:
Erectile dysfunction
Did you know that obese men are far likelier to suffer
from erectile dysfunction (ED) or
impotency? Problems
associated with obesity like high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes prevent
efficient blood flow to all parts of the body including the penis, thus causing
issues with erection. Various studies have shown that even losing a little
amount of weight can help beat the condition.
Hormonal imbalance leading to low libido
Obesity is directly linked to hormonal imbalance and lower
testosterone levels, which in turn can inhibit sexual desires in both men and
women. Another issue is that increased body fat leads to more sex hormone
binding globulins (SHBG) in the system. SHBG is a natural chemical that binds
to testosterone, which means that there is less of the sex hormone left to
handle the demands of a normal sex life. There has also been evidence to
suggest that obesity in young boys can lead to fatigue and development of male
breasts. In young girls it can lead to PCOD, irregular menstrual cycle and thyroid problems.
Infertility
In women, obesity leads to abnormalities in their eggs
that make them harder to fertilise. Brigham and Women’s Hospital infertility
researchers examined nearly 300 eggs that failed to fertilise during IVF and found obese women’s eggs were
likelier to have chromosomal abnormalities. It also causes excess insulin
production and PCOD (a condition where the periods are irregular and ovaries
produce small, immature eggs instead of healthy mature ones). Obese women are
also likely to suffer from failed pregnancies and miscarriages than regular weighing ones.
In men, obesity is directly linked to infertility because of the way it affects sperm.
Research has found that men who consume a
fatty diethave
lower quality of sperm. Men consuming more saturated fats had 35 percent
lower total sperm count and 38 percent lower sperm concentration than men who
ate healthier.
Obesity-related diseases that hinder sex
People who are heavy, particularly in the central abdomen
area tend to suffer from a host of diseases which can affect their sex lives in
various ways. This can be due to physiological or psychological reasons or due
to medicines taken for the disease. Diabetes, heart disease, cancer,
hypertension, depression, dementia and other ailments all affect your sexual
functioning. In fact, one of the most tell-tale symptoms of diabetes is
erectile dysfunction. Medicines too, ranging from anti-depressants to those
used to treat heart conditions, high blood pressure and cholesterol can lead to
sexual issues like impotence, decreased sex drive, ejaculation problems
and even delayed or no orgasms. Here’s a complete list of medicines that can affect your sexual
life.
Buried penis syndrome
Folds of abdominal fat and skin in obese men make the
penis look rather small or even ‘buried’ at times. Called the ‘buried penis
syndrome’, it can seriously hamper sex lives. This however, should not be
confused with the ‘micropenis’ which is a condition where the erect penis
measures less than 3 inches. This is mostly a congenital disorder in children
and can affect around 0.6% of the male population.
Since obese people are likely to have less sex than the
others, they are likelier to exhibit high-risk sexual behaviour. An American
study found that obese women were four times likelier to have unplanned
pregnancies because they’re less likely to be prepared for intercourse. They
are also less likely to use oral or other forms of contraceptives. A French
study found a similar situation among obese men despite having lesser sexual
partners.
Sadly, the sheer logistics of sex can change when one or
both partners are fat and can make coitus in some positions particularly hard.
The popular missionary position is out-of-bounds if the male partner is too
heavy. And if both partners are obese, then the central abdominal area can
prevent proper penetration. The rear entry style which is more popular among the
obese can also cause problems because the woman usually has to spend a long
amount of time on her knees. Spooning, a sex position where partners lie side by side is also hard for fat
people. However, fat people shouldn’t fret and there are multitudes of
positions that they can try with their partners. Here’s a great article I came across about modified
sex positions.
Less likely to have sex
Let’s face it – we live in a society that judges us by our
looks and obese people are always going to find it harder looking for a
partner. The problem is even graver in a country like ours where it is okay for
a man to be obese if he has a high-paying job or is from a rich family whereas
it is almost impossible to find a groom for a ‘fat girl’.
Low self-esteem, depression and other
conditions
We live in a society where obese people are routinely made
fun of and termed as ‘lazy’, ‘stupid’, ‘dumb’ or ‘slow’. This kind of
segregation starts when a person is very young and obesity becomes the defining
characteristic of an individual irrespective of her other qualities. This
labelling sticks for life and anyone who has faced childhood obesity is likely
to develop very low self-esteem. This promotes a negative body image which
makes obese people uncomfortable in their skins. How can you be comfortable
having sex, if all your life you’ve been told you’re ugly? Also various studies
have shown obese people are far likelier to suffer from depression and other mental health problems
which reduce libido and are likely to cause sexual dysfunction.
Lack of stamina
Obesity is often associated with laziness and a sedentary
lifestyle. And this may often percolate into their sex lives as well. In men,
it will also significantly decrease the time they can maintain an erection.
To sum it up, I don’t want to seem harsh pointing out how
being fat or obese can harm your sex life but the fact remains that you can improve your sex
life by simply losing a few pounds. And this will not only benefit your sex
life but your overall health and well-being as well. What you’ve to realize is
that the entire situation is in your own hand; you’re in control of your weight
and you can choose to lose it whenever your heart desires.
