Five Health Benefits of Masturbation that you probably never considered (until now)

A new survey from adult product peddler AdamandEve.com reveals that 27% of Americans admit to masturbating once or twice a week. That number seems suspiciously low to us, especially since science has shown that being master of your domain can provide additional feel-great benefits. (Also because the people surveyed were browsing an adult toy website.)

“Masturbation is part of a healthy sex life,” says Gloria Brame, Ph.D., a clinical sexologist. “It’s totally safe and harmless. It’s healthier than brushing your teeth every day.”

And just as brushing your teeth should be a regular occurrence, so too should be cleaning your pipes. Here are 5 reasons to take matters into your own hands right now. (you can thank me later)

1. It prevents cancer. A 2003 Australian study found that men who ejaculated more than five times a week were a third less likely to develop prostate cancer. Disease-causing toxins build up in your urogenital tract and when you rub one out, you flush the bad guys out of your system, says Brame.
2. It makes you harder. As you age, you naturally lose muscle tone … even down there. Regular sex or masturbation works out your pelvic floor muscles to prevent erectile dysfunction and incontinence. “It keeps the angle of your dangle perky,” says Brame. Aim to (ahem) arrive 3 to 5 times a week for rock-solid results.
3. It helps you last longer. Taking yourself to palm prom may help you stretch your sack sessions. “[Masturbating] an hour before a date will give you more control,” says Brame. Train yourself by timing how long it takes you to orgasm, suggests Ava Cadell, Ph.D., founder of loveologyuniversity.com. If it usually takes two minutes solo, try for three next time. Or count how many strokes you need to get to your happy place. If you’re spurting after 50, shoot for 60. “Most men can double the number of strokes and the time within one month,” Cadell says. Practice makes perfect, right?
4. It ups your immunity. Ejaculation increases levels of the hormone cortisol, says Jennifer Landa, M.D., a specialist in hormone therapy. Cortisol, which usually gets a bad rap as a havoc-wrecking stress hormone, actually helps regulate and maintain your immunity in the small doses. “Masturbation can product the right environment for a strengthened immune system,” she says.
5. It boosts your mood. Masturbating releases a slew of feel-good neurochemicals like dopamine and oxytocin that lift your spirits, boost your satisfaction, and activate the reward circuits in your brain. “An orgasm is the biggest non-drug blast of dopamine available,” says Brame. “A brain scan of someone having an orgasm looks like a heroin addict’s.”

Know the Dehydration Risks that Summer can bring  


Dehydration means your body does not have as much water and fluids as it should. Dehydration can be caused by losing too much fluid, not drinking enough water or fluids, or both. Vomiting and diarrhea are common causes.


Infants and children are more susceptible to dehydration than adults because of their smaller body weights and higher turnover of water and electrolytes. The elderly and those with illnesses are also at higher risk.


Dehydration is classified as mild, moderate, or severe based on how much of the body's fluid is lost or not replenished. When severe, dehydration is a life-threatening emergency.


Causes, incidence, and risk factors


Your body may lose too much fluids from:

• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Excessive urine output, such as with uncontrolled diabetes or diuretic use
• Excessive sweating (for example, from exercise)
• Fever

You might not drink enough fluids because of:

• Nausea
• Loss of appetite due to illness
• Sore throat or mouth sores
• Dehydration in sick children is often a combination of both -- refusing to eat or drink anything while also losing fluid from vomiting, diarrhea, or fever.

Symptoms

• Dry or sticky mouth
• Low or no urine output; concentrated urine appears dark yellow
• Not producing tears
• Sunken eyes
• Markedly sunken fontanelles (the soft spot on the top of the head) in an infant
• Lethargic or comatose (with severe dehydration)

In addition to the symptoms of actual dehydration, you may also have vomiting, diarrhea, or the feeling that you "can't keep anything down," all of which could be causing the dehydration.


Signs and tests


A physical examination may also show signs of:

• Low blood pressure
• Blood pressure that drops when you go from lying down to standing
• Rapid heart rate
• Poor skin turgor -- the skin may lack its normal elasticity and sag back into position slowly when pinched up into a fold by the doctor; normally, skin springs right back into position
• Delayed capillary refill
• Shock

Tests include:

• Blood chemistries (to check electrolytes, especially sodium, potassium, and bicarbonate levels)
• Urine specific gravity (a high specific gravity indicates significant dehydration)
• BUN (blood urea nitrogen -- may be elevated with dehydration)
• Creatine (may be elevated with dehydration)
• Complete blood count (CBC) to look for signs of concentrated blood
• Other tests may be done to determine the specific cause of the dehydration (for example, a blood sugar to check for diabetes).

Treatment


Drinking fluids is usually sufficient for mild dehydration. It is better to have frequent, small amounts of fluid (using a teaspoon or syringe for an infant or child) rather than trying to force large amounts of fluid at one time. Drinking too much fluid at once can bring on more vomiting.


Electrolyte solutions or freezer pops are especially effective. These are available at pharmacies. Sport drinks contain a lot of sugar and can cause or worsen diarrhea. In infants and children, avoid using water as the primary replacement fluid.


Intravenous fluids and hospitalization may be necessary for moderate to severe dehydration. The doctor will try to identify and then treat the cause of the dehydration.


Most cases of stomach viruses (also called viral gastroenteritis) tend to resolve on their own after a few days. 


Expectations (prognosis)


When dehydration is recognized and treated promptly, the outcome is generally good.


Complications


Untreated severe dehydration may result in seizures, permanent brain damage, or death.


Calling your health care provider


Call 911 if you or your child have the following symptoms:

• Dizziness
• Lightheadedness 
• Lethargy
• Confusion

Call your doctor right away if you or your child has any of the following symptoms:

• Not producing tears
• Sunken eyes
• Little or no urine output for 8 hours
• Dry skin that sags back into position slowly when pinched up into a fold
• Dry mouth or dry eyes
• Sunken soft-spot on the top of your infant's head
• Fast-beating heart
• Blood in the stool or vomit
• Diarrhea or vomiting (in infants less than 2 months old)
• Listlessness and inactiveness

Also call your doctor if you are not sure whether your attempts to give your child proper fluids are working.


Also call your doctor if:

• An illness is combined with the inability to keep down any fluids
• Vomiting has been going on for longer than 24 hours in an adult or longer than 12 hours in a child
• Diarrhea has lasted longer than 5 days in an adult or child
• Your infant or child is much less active than usual or is irritable
• You or your child have excessive urination, especially if there is a family history of diabetes or you are taking diuretics

Prevention


Even when healthy, drink plenty of fluid every day. Drink more when the weather is hot or you are exercising.


Carefully monitor someone who is ill, especially an infant, child, or older adult. If you believe that dehydration is developing, consult a doctor before the person becomes moderately or severely dehydrated. Begin fluid replacement as soon as vomiting and diarrhea start -- DO NOT wait for signs of dehydration.


Always encourage the person to drink during an illness, and remember that a person's fluid needs are greater when that person has fever, vomiting, or diarrhea. The easiest signs to monitor are urine output (there should be frequent wet diapers or trips to the bathroom), saliva in the mouth, and tears when crying.

About Strengh Training / Workout Conditioning / Core Gymnastics


Strength training is a form of exercise aimed at building physical strength. While many confuse it with bodybuilding, the two are not synonymous. Strength training is focused on improving general health and fitness, while bodybuilding is focused solely on building muscle mass.


Squats, push ups and lunges are among some the exercises commonly administered by strength trainers, who work with their clients to help them reduce body fat, burn calories more efficiently and build lean muscle mass - an important factor to mention, since muscle mass inevitably decreases with age.


These exercises have also proven to be very powerful in reducing the symptoms and signs of various chronic conditions and diseases like arthritis, back pain, and osteoporosis. For these reasons, people of all ages are encouraged to book appointments with strength trainers; a good strength trainer will tailor exercises to meet each and every client's needs and abilities.

Denny's NEW "Fit Fare" Menu Items like the Fit Slam

Go'n out for breakfast?
Try the Fit Slam® 
Egg whites scrambled together with fresh spinach and grape tomatoes, plus two turkey bacon strips, English muffin and seasonal fruit. 
Forget bacon flapjacks, bacon meat loaf, and maple bacon sundaes: Denny's has moved on to lighter pastures with Fit Fare, a new line of lower-calorie options. The items fall under four different classifications: "lean," with less than 15 grams of fat; "light," which comes in under 550 calories; "protein," for items with 20 grams of protein or more; and "fiber," with at least 8 grams of fiber.

LEAN: Under 15g of fat 
LIGHT: Under 550 calories 
PROTEIN: Over 20g of protein

The menu includes the Fit Slam, with scrambled egg whites, spinach, grape tomatoes, turkey bacon, fruit, and an english muffin; a chicken avocado sandwich and cranberry apple chicken salad for lunch; and tilapia ranchero for dinner. Some of these dishes — like the Fit Slam breakfast and the tilapia ranchero — actually sound healthy in a refreshing way. 


QUESTION: Do you see yourself heading to Denny's more, now that they've created a lighter menu?

About Body Fat/Composition Testing

Body weight alone is not a clear indicator of health or fitness because it does not distinguish how many pounds are fat and how many are muscle. But body composition helps describe the amount (and distribution) of fat and lean muscle tissue in the body. The popularity of body composition (as a measure of progress) is growing as people realize its value in determining health risks and showing progress, even when the scale doesn’t.
