The benefit of sex against aging, according to science

 

It is known that, fortunately, sex is much more than the act intended solely for the preservation of the human species. It has long been known that it is pleasure, it is connection, and also that it provides many benefits to mental and physical health.

In short, in terms of physical health, sexual relations keep us in good shape. Although they do not count as an exercise routine, they help us maintain and optimize flexibility, promote cardiovascular health and blood circulation.

Furthermore, during the sexual act, endorphins and other neurotransmitters are released, substances that act as analgesics produced by our own body, and provide a feeling of great well-being and happiness. In this way, sex practiced safely and consensually also helps to deal with stress and anxiety. Also, in this emotional sense, it improves self-esteem, makes us feel good about ourselves and, as if that were not enough, strengthens the emotional connections and intimacy of life in the relationship, even when only masturbation is practiced as a couple.

Sexual therapy: the most consulted topics and how to approach it

 Each person is unique. To live one's sexuality, there are many factors that come into play for each individual, from their upbringing and values, to prejudices, disinterest, or many others, so that each person has their own intimate way of seeing and enjoying this topic of sex. . Some can resolve many of their concerns, alone or as a couple, but there are many other people who cannot. Who need sexual therapy, but do not dare to share their experiences or address it with anyone else.

However, it is important to identify the reasons that most frequently bring patients to the office in this sense, not only to know and understand the problem more clearly, but also because we could see ourselves reflected in the experiences of others and find the solution. to our problem.

Dr. Sofía Herrera , who has a diploma in Clinical Sexology, and directs the Tu Salud Íntima platform together with Dr. Klara Senior , says that “ in general terms, due to the questions we receive, as well as in many of the trials carried out on The issue, in women, the most common reason for consultation to go to a sexologist is a decrease in sexual desire, what we call hypoactive desire . In second place is the lack of sexual arousal, the lack of orgasm and pain or discomfort during sexual relations.”

3 natural infusions to cure hangovers and heartbreak during the holidays

 

After the festive Christmas celebrations or New Year's party, it is common to face the annoying symptoms of a hangover, an experience that can be challenging, especially after a breakup that is still haunting our emotions at the end of the year , but can be faced with a good infusion.

The "tusa", headaches, fatigue and dehydration are some of the most common side effects of overindulging in alcohol during the holidays. To counteract these discomforts, health professionals suggest three natural infusions that not only provide relief but also contribute to a faster and more balanced recovery.

What is "tusa" (heartbreak)?

Surely you had come across this term before, especially when at the end of 2019 Karol G and Nicki Minaj turned the song "tusa" into a worldwide hit. The word refers to the spite and sadness left by the end of a love relationship.

According to Dr. Blanca Rodríguez-Ayala, doctor and teacher at the University of Distance Education of Spain, these three infusions are especially recommended:

1. Rooibos

Rooibos, known for its beneficial properties, stands out as an effective ally to cope with the symptoms of gooseberry. Its ability to hydrate the body makes it a wise choice after excessive alcohol intake, thus counteracting dehydration, one of the common side effects of a hangover. Unlike red tea, rooibos contains no theine, making it a perfect option for those seeking relief without the side effects of stimulants, allowing the body to rehydrate naturally.

2. Ginger with lemon

Ginger, with its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and digestive properties, is positioned as an effective ally against hangovers. It not only relieves headaches, but also eliminates toxins and improves mood. Preparing a ginger infusion with lemon and honey is a simple and effective way to take advantage of these benefits. The spicy and refreshing combination provides an extra boost of energy, being easy to prepare and consume.

3. Mint and chamomile

Mint or chamomile infusions are classic and effective resources to combat hangover discomfort. Recommended even by our grandmothers, these infusions offer benefits especially when stomach pains are minimal. Integrating them into your post-holiday routine can be a wise and delicious choice to facilitate recovery and restore balance to the digestive system.

30 New Year's resolutions and how to keep them

 New Year's resolutions are those personal objectives that we set for ourselves when we cross the December goal, but do they exist? Are there any known real cases of people who comply with them?

The fact is that, feasible or not, they provide extra motivation to start the year even if they are not fulfilled. That doesn't matter, the important thing is to have them. Whoever doesn't have them doesn't know the satisfaction of seeing them fulfilled during the following year, or doesn't enjoy the frustration laughing with family or friends remembering those of the current year, just a few hours before the end of the time to fulfill them.

To the “go to the gym”, “quit smoking” or “learn English” many more can be added in case you fail in the mission of fulfilling any of the three. Well, the truth is that these are complicated.

Colombian Dollar: This will move it during the week

 The dollar in Colombia ended last week with new falls and leading the exchange rate to reach $4,000.

The US currency maintains its behavior tied to what is happening with the economic activity of the United States and various local scenarios that include some outcomes of political events.

In this way, the dollar in Colombia , after even having fallen below the $4,000 barrier , is now awaiting new messages from the FED about the future of inflation.

Although in its most recent meeting the FED stated that it did not rule out a new increase in interest rates at the end of the year, there are some data that may lead to a scenario of stability in the future.

On the one hand, for example, the United States labor market left an unemployment rate higher than what the market was predicting.

Will the dollar rise in Colombia?

The above led the market to understand that, at least from the consumption side, inflation could account for a context of stability.

Argentine Cardinal Eduardo Pironio will be declared blessed

 The Argentine Cardinal Eduardo Pironio (1920-1998), noted as the “inventor” of the World Youth Days (WYD) and considered “papable” in 1978, will be declared blessed. Pope Francis, who knew him well and promoted his cause, approved this Wednesday the miracle attributed to his intercession with the promulgation of the corresponding decree of the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints.

El #PapaFrancisco aprobó hoy, miércoles 8 de noviembre, el decreto de la Congregación para las Causa de los Santos que reconoce el milagro atribuido al venerable cardenal argentino Eduardo Francisco Pironio, nacido en 1920 en la localidad de 9 de Julio; fallecido en Roma en 1998. pic.twitter.com/RLmb97pcav

It is about the miraculous healing of Juan Manuel Franco, a one and a half year old boy from Mar del Plata - the city where Pironio was bishop -, poisoned by inhaling the glitter used by his mother for restoration work. The child had involuntarily aspirated and ingested it, which had caused acute respiratory distress syndrome (SDS) and he was about to die. As Vatican News recalled, it was December 2, 2006 and that day the so-called “March of Hope” was celebrated, an initiative devised by Pironio.

For the occasion the parish priest had distributed a small card with the figure of the cardinal. The little boy's parents, from that moment on, began to ask for his intercession, reciting the prayer that appeared on the card. Two days later, the first improvements began to be noticed. Five days later, the baby was reactive, lucid, and breathing spontaneously. And on December 13 he was discharged from the hospital, in a case that later laid the foundations for the advancement of the cause of beatification of 

Pironio, a remembered figure of the Argentine Church and the Roman Curia.

The most common sexual fantasies, their meaning and what they say about your needs

 Sexual fantasies are an essential part of the repertoire that contemplates our sexual behavior. They are completely human thoughts, which are part of the resources we use to explore our desires. And they arise in our minds to generate sensations and even make us feel better disposed to have a relationship.

Although it may be a taboo subject - like everything related to the enjoyment of sex - erotic fantasy nourishes our imagination, and our creative capacity, sometimes necessary to be able to disconnect from reality and get in tune for enjoyment.

Unveiling the Arsenal: Israel's Ingenious Tactics to Confront Hamas's Underground Tunnels

 In the complex landscape of conflict between Israel and Hamas, the battleground has extended beneath the surface, into the intricate network of tunnels meticulously constructed by the latter. As the Israeli military gears up to face the challenges posed by the expansive "Gaza Metro," a multifaceted approach is emerging, featuring robots, attack dogs, and specialized units. In this comprehensive exploration, we delve into the arsenal that Israel brings to tunnel combat.

Understanding the Threat: Hamas's Underground Labyrinth

Hamas has spent nearly a decade constructing a vast labyrinth of tunnels beneath Gaza, some reaching depths of 70 meters. These tunnels serve as storage for weapons, fuel, and food, making their destruction vital for any Israeli success. To counter this underground challenge, Israel has devised a strategic plan encompassing both technological innovations and specialized forces.

Specialized Tunnel Combat Units: Sting and Weasel Commandos

Israel has established two specialized units to navigate and neutralize the subterranean threat:

1. Oketz or "Sting" Dog Units:

• Comprising highly trained attack dogs, Oketz units bring a unique canine perspective to tunnel combat.
• These dogs, likely led by the intelligent and aggressive Belgian Malinois, specialize in sniffing out explosives, locating entrances, and attacking armed personnel.

2. Samur "Weasel" Subterranean Commandos:

• Specially selected troops trained to operate in enclosed and claustrophobic conditions.
• Known for their ability to maintain a psychological distance from challenging situations, these commandos are tasked with entering the tunnels.

You could have $20,000 in your pocket without knowing it: these quarters are a treasure

 A series of 25 cent coins manufactured between 1975 and 1976 to celebrate 200 years of US independence could skyrocket in value

How to detect them?

Most bicentennial coins were “clad,” meaning they were made from multiple metals such as nickel, copper and zinc, layered “like a sandwich,” the Mint explains. But some are made up of 40% silver, an important distinction because silver coins are rarer and therefore much more valuable.

The condition of the coin also influences its value, with those in perfect condition fetching the highest prices. The bicentennial coins were minted in three different locations: Philadelphia (809,784,016 coins), Denver (860,118,839), and San Francisco (4 million 40% silver, 11,000,000 uncirculated 40% silver, and 7,059. 099 coated).

Each coin bears the initials of the city in which it was minted. The silver 1976-S Bicentennial, which broke an auction record at nearly $20,000, was struck in San Francisco. Being made for circulation, it does not have the same shine as proof coins, so it can be difficult to recognize as a valuable object.

The Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS, in English) placed the 1976-S Bicentennial silver at grade MS69 (the best being an MS70) on the Sheldon scale, meaning that some minor flaws were noted.
