Saying No To Smoking

Every cigar packet will have statutory warning as “Smoking is injurious to health”, but still people smoke. Some may start smoking at a very early stage in their life. Once when started as a social habit, it has now become an addiction for many. I have heard many people wanting to stop smoking but cannot do to so because they are addicted to it. Smoking is a very bad habit which may even take your life out. Learning the reasons why you smoke may help you quitting. People give various reasons for smoking. Some of them are:

• Smoking gives more energy
• Addicted to smoking
• It gives relaxation and gives pleasure

When you fall under any of these categories, it can be made easy to find out solutions and help you in quitting from smoking.

If you say that you smoke to get more energy, then find out if you can derive that energy from any other substance. Am sure by taking rest, one can have more energy. Being brisk and more physical activity will engage in more work. Eating nutritious food and drinking lots of water will help you to get energy.

If you say you are addicted, it can be difficult to come out of that habit. Try smoking too many cigars before a day or two when you have decided to quit. This may kill the taste of cigars and you may dislike. The first attempt could not be successful. But the second or the third try will be successful. Think yourself as a non smoker.

If you say you get pleasure, try to enjoy the taste of tobacco separately. You will develop a strong dislike for its taste. Now the pleasure would not mind you. Start concentrating on things which will give you pleasure like reading books, sleeping. Relaxation can be obtained from having a nice time with family and friends.

What ever may be the reason to smoke, yet one can quit the habit of smoking and extend his life time. One must have a strong will to overcome this habit. Mental strength is much needed and am sure love and affection can change the habits in a person.

Best Time To Take Creatine

Few years ago, athletes recommended that creatine should be taken before exercise. Those who supported this approach realized that using of creatine before exercise boosts up the energy to max level. Another problem that occurs by taking creatine before exercise is that it shifts body fluids. Monohydrate. Powder of creatine draws fluid from other components of our body muscles.

Although this process is nothing more than the cellular manifestation of body muscles but it does cause dehydration. This is critical if you do workout intensely in hot and humid environments. Lastly, high glycemic sugars, such included in creatine products, could cause a certain drop in energy level. This is obviously productive to your trainings needs.

Therefore there are many possible reasons why not to take creatine before workout or exercise.

There are many advantages of taking creatine after your workout because after workout our muscles are so sensitive and in need of insulin-mediated uptake or creatine. For this reason we can take benefit of this situation by taking healthy amount of creatine along with carbohydrates and protein, this combination of nutrients helps in by releasing a good amount of anabolic hormones, and also produces hormones in our body.

Therefore, taking creatine along with carbohydrates and proteins shakes should enhance our body strength and boost muscle growth rapidly.

According to my experience and practical guide for creatine use, I strongly recommend that creatine should be taken after workout, which increases creatine absorption and enhances muscles growth more effectively.

And the most important thing is that I m not talking about some specific creatine products. I m talking about all the creatine! Whether it is in powder form or any other form. Either it is used by athletes or bodybuilders. All types of creatine should be taken after workout or exercise because you can gain more and more weight in less time and honestly speaking you will see sparkling results in your body.

Among all the supplements, creatine is considered as the most effective and healthy supplement for the body because it neither has any side effects nor causes any damage to your muscles. And most the experienced trainers highly recommend creatine because it serves as a complete and effective diet after work out. Most people think that Creatine is type of steroid, but it is not true.

But it is consider better to use the natural foods as a diet and not to use any sort of supplements because the only food that is trust worthy is produced by Nature. And it also has pure proteins and nutrition’s. And if any one wants to have a healthy body and strong muscles he/she should use natural products. Because is full of proteins and if someone wants to build muscles and body he/she cant afford to ignore proteins.

Increased Risk For Osteoporosis In Men With Belly Fat

Visceral, or deep belly, obesity is a risk factor for bone loss and decreased bone strength in men, according to a study presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

"It is important for men to be aware that excess belly fat is not only a risk factor for heart disease and diabetes, it is also a risk factor for bone loss," said Miriam Bredella, M.D., radiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital and associate professor of radiology at Harvard Medical School in Boston.

According to the National Center for Health Statistics, more than 37 million American men over age 20 are obese. Obesity is associated with many health problems, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, high cholesterol, asthma, sleep apnea and joint diseases. Yet despite all the health issues, it was commonly accepted that men with increased body weight were at lower risk for bone loss.

"Most studies on osteoporosis have focused on women. Men were thought to be relatively protected against bone loss, especially obese men," Dr. Bredella said.

But not all body fat is the same. Subcutaneous fat lies just below the skin, and visceral or intra-abdominal fat is located deep under the muscle tissue in the abdominal cavity. Genetics, diet and exercise are all contributors to the level of visceral fat that is stored in the body. Excess visceral fat is considered particularly dangerous, because in previous studies it has been associated with increased risk for heart disease.

After the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men Study -- a multi-center observational study designed to determine risk factors for osteoporosis -- indicated that male obesity was associated with fracture risk, the researchers wanted to quantify belly fat and study its impact on bone strength.

Dr. Bredella and her team evaluated 35 obese men with a mean age of 34 and a mean body mass index (BMI) of 36.5. The men underwent CT of the abdomen and thigh to assess fat and muscle mass, as well as very high resolution CT of the forearm and a technique called finite element analysis (FEA), in order to assess bone strength and predict fracture risk.

"FEA is a technique that is frequently used in mechanical engineering to determine the strength of materials for the design of bridges or airplanes, among other things," Dr. Bredella said. "FEA can determine where a structure will bend or break and the amount of force necessary to make the material break. We can now use FEA to determine the strength or force necessary to make a bone break."

In the study, the FEA analysis showed that men with higher visceral and total abdominal fat had lower failure load and stiffness, two measures of bone strength, compared to those with less visceral and abdominal fat. There was no association found between age or total BMI and bone mechanical properties.

"We were not surprised by our results that abdominal and visceral fat are detrimental to bone strength in obese men," Dr. Bredella said. "We were, however, surprised that obese men with a lot of visceral fat had significantly decreased bone strength compared to obese men with low visceral fat but similar BMI."

The results also showed that muscle mass was positively associated with bone strength.

Baldness Drug Risks Men's Sexual Health

Men could be risking their sexual health by taking the common anti-baldness drug Propecia (finasteride). Experts say the drug can cause serious side effects and isn't adequately labeled.

Merck, the manufacturer of the drug, mentions problems on its Web site such as difficulty achieving an erection, but also says the problems will go away for men who stop taking the drug. However, many doctors say that complete impotence is not unusual even among men who have stopped taking the drug.

According to BBC News:

"Merck says they continually monitor its safety and have recently changed the labeling after reports of sexual side effects continuing after people had stopped taking the drug. They also claim those cases ... could be caused by something other than Propecia itself."

Get a Firmer Erection

Having a firm erection is one of the secrets to being great in bed. However big your member is, if it flops around like a wet fish it’s not going to be at all pleasant or impressive when you get down to business. The good news is the firmness of your erection is largely down to your lifestyle, diet and habits meaning anyone can improve their sturdiness and so their sexual performance at the same time.

When you get an erection the reason for this is that your brain is redirecting lots of the blood in your body towards your dick. This then causes it to swell and stiffen appearing larger in size as it does. The amount it will grow will vary depending on the individual (whether you’re a ‘shower’ or a ‘grower’) but the firmness will be down to just how much blood is sent down there and how strong the muscles are in the pelvis – both of which you can improve yourself.

Blood travels around the body through your veins and arteries, meaning that if you want to direct a lot of blood somewhere quickly you’ll need to increase the ease at which it can travel through them. One way to do this is through supplementation that causes ‘vasodilation’ or the enlargement of the veins. This means that not only will the blood be able to rush there more easily, but once it does the veins will be larger inside your dick making it swell up more. Of course that also means your nob’s going to look pretty vainy but I’m sure you can deal with that. One supplement that has this effect is Nitric Oxide, while many others exist on the market. This also has other added bonuses making your muscles look bigger and more ripped while providing you with more energy in the gym. Similarly you can try increasing your circulation other ways such as taking hot and cold showers or using ginkgo biloba extract. You’ll know if its working when you wake up with a raging morning glory...

Increasing testosterone levels will also help your boner as it generally increases arousal and libido (which obviously has other benefits in the bedroom too). This again can be achieved with various supplements such as 6-OXO, ZMA and tribulus terrestris, as well as with vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, zinc and vitamin B6 (which can be found in most multivitamins). You also need to limit your amount of oestrogen which counters the effects of testosterone – to do so avoid tap water (which contains more and more oestrogen thanks to women flushing their junk down the loo) which has been suggested to contribute to the ‘feminisation’ of society, and eat lots of cabage – which contains oestrogen combating chemicals. You can also increase your testosterone and a lot of other things through exercise and believe it or not, through watching porn. Studies have shown that watching porn actually raises testosterone and while this is very short term, over time it will lead to greater production generally in the long run and will also increase your sex drive and libido. So, masturbation makes you better in bed – now there’s a prescription you can follow!

You may or may not know however that every time you get an erection it varies in how firm it is and how long. This correlates with many other factors such as how aroused you are, how energetic you are and how attractive the girl (or fella... ) opposite you is. This demonstrates the largely psychological element of getting a firmer erection so if you want to be at full power you need to be as ‘into’ the moment as possible and with as high energy levels as possible too. Stress and tiredness can greatly affect how impressive your boner gets and if you experience them to a high enough degree they can even cause erectile dysfunction. To combat this problem then you need to make sure you get a good night’s sleep and that you’re high on energy. At the same time, try to let go of any stressors in your life and really focus on the matter in hand (perhaps literally).

The other way to get a rock hard erection is to train the pelvic muscles and prostate that hold it upright. If you don’t you’ll end up with a stiff stiffy, but one that will just hang limply – like a club attached to a piece of string. There are many ways you can do this, the most simple being to simply tense the muscles in that area which should be visible as your penis lifts slightly each time you do. Simply doing this occasionally will strengthen those muscles allowing you to hold it more upright and to support it more during that vital time. The way it raises means that some slightly unusual guys have made a sport out of attaching weights to it and lifting greater and greater amounts. While this probably leads to pretty epic boners I can’t really advise you do the same… Other ways to train your muscles in this area are to stop and hold your pee while you urinate (also allowing you to move around urinals). Again though, obviously practice, as in regularly getting a boner, will also strengthen the muscles involved in getting one. It’s fairly common sense but also pretty good news.

Of course if you’re really at your wit’s end you can try Viagra or other drugs designed specifically for the bedroom. This is rather drastic though as a fairly expensive solution and one that’s not great for your street cred (really don’t tell your friends). If you’re in generally good health, and getting lots of love (self love or otherwise) you really shouldn’t worry too much about the firmness of your erection – most people make up for their short comings (sometimes literally) in one department or other. If you’re not happy, try the above suggestions, and if it’s still more of a semi than a full blown raging boner, then consult your doctor for the most embarrassing conversation of your life.

How to Make Your Penis Bigger – How to Be Bigger Down Stairs

By James Madhok

It's an embarrassing topic for most guys and almost everyone will deny it, but the fact of the matter is that at least a good 70% of men have looked up penis enlargement online or elsewhere. It's a shame that this research has to be done in such a clandestine manner when it's something that so many people are interested in but for various reasons there is a lot of stigma surrounding the topic.

To admit interest in getting a bigger penis means admitting dissatisfaction with your current size. More to the point it seems like the act of someone desperate who either can't satisfy their women or who can't pull them in the first place. But it isn't necessarily that, it might be just curiosity, an urge to improve oneself, or a simple desire for a cosmetic touch up much like Botox or anything else. So don't be ashamed as you read this article, it's a perfectly healthy curiosity. For some it will pass, but for others the advice below might help them get started on their way to a better sex life and fuller looking package. Here are some of the methods that you can try to get a bigger dick:

Gelking – Gelking is a penis enlargement method that has been around apparently since the Egyptian times (you see, it's natural). In essence this involves stretching the penis simply by manually manipulating it on a regular basis. Tugging on your ears every day would give you baggy earlobes, and likewise doing the same with your penis can have a similar effect. The good news is that this is a tried and tested methods and TV programmes and studies have supported its effectiveness in trials and exposes. The bad news is that it takes a lot of effort and requires you to tug (i.e. the upwards motion of masturbation without the downwards one) on your penis up to a thousand times a day. This is also less pleasant than it sounds and is a lot of commitment. At the end of it all though you should be able to see noticeable results (an inch perhaps) that are visible both when you're erect and when you're placid. Look into the exact process online if you feel it's worth it.

NO2 – NO2 is a bodybuilding supplement that has the not-unwelcome side effect of increasing the size of your dick. This works through vasodilatation, which is the process in which the veins become able to transport more blood at any time. For bodybuilders this means a better 'pump' and more nutrients being delivered to the muscles when they're needed, but at the same time it also means more blood can rush to the penis during an erection which will result in it being both bigger and harder. That's all an erection is: blood rushing to the penis, and so by increasing this you can obviously make it bigger and harder. Obviously it will only be marginal though and it will make your dick more vascular too (is that a good thing?). At the same time it won't be any bigger when flaccid – but then that shouldn't really matter.

Testosterone Tablets – Again these are a bodybuilding drug that have the side benefit of improving your erections. This is actually through improving your sex drive which will result in your erections being the hardest they can be. However this again will only be a marginal difference, and in the young and healthy it's unlikely to make much of a difference at all (it doesn't add testosterone, but simply encourages your body to produce more, which it can only do to a certain extent). Additionally if it does make you produce significantly more testosterone this will also likely result in spots and greasy skin. If you want to increase your sex drive and thus the firmness of your erections then Viagra is possibly the best option, though this has other side effects that mean you should consult your doctor.

Operation – There are many operations that can cause your penis to become longer just as there are many aesthetic operations for other parts of your body. These operations mostly involve cutting the tendon that holds the penis up, which then makes it hang lower. This can add one to several inches to the length of the penis. This is a somewhat invasive procedure however and will only increase the length of your dick placid. Furthermore it will no longer point so upright and instead will 'hang' when erect which can be difficult for sex.

In conclusion then there are many ways you can make yourself bigger down below. Some are aesthetic while others are more practical, some are marginal, and some will probably be more hassle than they're worth. If you're determined to get a longer tool though, the best methods are gelking – which will actually work but requires hard work (as all things that work do), and NO2, which is the only solution that will increase girth as well as length. And that's what really matters.

How to Stop Premature Ejaculation

Premature ejaculation, or ejaculating before you or your partner wanted to, is a common problem that strikes most men at some point in their lives. Several factors can influence when ejaculation occurs, but it can be controlled with some forethought or, in extreme cases, medical intervention. Here are some strategies for help, listed from easiest to most difficult.

Method One: Quick Fixes

1. Wear a condom. It sounds too simple to be true, but it works for a lot of men. Condoms reduce stimulation for most men, which should prolong the time before ejaculation ^[1].
2. 2Use an analgesic (numbing) cream. The upside is that you'll feel slightly less sensation, which will delay ejaculation. The downside is your partner will suffer a loss of sensation, too. If you're interested in this option, make sure you clear it with your partner first.
3. 3Apply strategic pressure. Here are two quick ways to delay ejaculation in the middle of intercourse:

• Steer clear of condoms that are marketed as extra thin. You can always upgrade to a brand that allows more stimulation later.
• Some condoms are coated with a slight numbing gel on the inside. This can help you put off ejaculation for longer without causing numbness to your partner. (Just make sure you know which side is where when you put it on.)

• Perineum pressure: Pressing on the perineum, a spot midway between your scrotum and your anus, will help to stop ejaculation because this spot reaches through to the prostate gland. It is the prostate that contracts and expands during orgasm and then expels the ejaculation fluid. Ask your partner to apply this loving pressure for you.
• Testes tug: When a man nears orgasm his scrotum rises up closer to his body. You can delay ejaculation by gently pulling your testes down and away from your body. Your partner can also do this for you.

Method Two: Technique Changes

1. Slow down intercourse. If you're feeling pressured to perform, you might rush to ejaculation before you're ready. Try these tips for bringing your anxiety down a notch:
2. Try edging. Edging, or orgasm control, is the practice of maintaining a high level of sexual arousal while delaying ejaculation. It takes practice, but it gets easier over time. Here are two methods recommended by the National Institutes of Health to stop premature ejaculation^[3]:
3. Change positions. Some intercourse positions put less pressure on the glans (or the most sensitive part of the penis). Here's what to do:

• Take climaxing out of your expectations. Instead of viewing intercourse only as a means of achieving orgasm, reframe it as relaxing, pleasurable time with your partner that you'll enjoy regardless of ejaculation. Discuss this new mindset with your partner, so that he or she can stop pressuring you, intentionally or not.
• Think nonsexual thoughts. If you notice yourself getting too excited, stop and turn your attention to something decidedly unsexy, like rush-hour traffic, smarmy politicians, or the old classic, baseball. ^[2]. Only dwell on it long enough to give yourself a short break from arousal, maybe 5 to 10 seconds, then refocus your attention on your partner.

• Stop-and-start method: Have intercourse as usual until you feel yourself coming uncomfortably close to orgasm. Immediately and abruptly cease all stimulation for 30 seconds, then start again. Repeat this pattern until you're ready to ejaculate.
• Squeeze method: Have intercourse as usual until you feel like orgasm is seconds away. Abruptly stop other stimulation and gently squeeze your thumb and forefinger around the part of the penis where the glans meets the shaft (or your partner could do this). After squeezing for a few seconds, pause all stimulation for another 30 seconds before resuming intercourse. Repeat this pattern until you're ready to ejaculate.

• Try "passive" positions. Lie beneath your female partner, or try a side-by-side (or spooning) position.
• Avoid "active" positions. Missionary and rear-entry positions place the most stimulation and friction on the glans, so consider taking them off the menu for now.

Method Three: Long-Term Fixes

1. 1Do PC muscle exercises. Flexing and strengthening your pubococcygeus (PC) muscle can help you exert more control over ejaculation. (Note that these are also called Kegel exercises, which you might have heard about women doing. The muscle is the same in both sexes.)^[4]

• Locate your PC muscle. Put one or two fingers right behind your testicles. Pretend that you are urinating, then try to stop the flow with a quick muscle contraction. That muscle you just used to stop the flow from the bladder is your PC muscle.
• Flex the muscle regularly. Try to do 10 to 20 squeezes in a set, 2 or 3 times a day. Do a set whenever you're bored or stationary — like when you're sitting at your desk or in traffic. No one will be able to see that you're doing them.
• Squeeze your PC muscle when you feel ejaculation coming on. Once the muscle is strong enough, you should be able to hold it off.

Method Four: Medical Intervention

1. Know when to see a doctor. If you routinely ejaculate less than a minute and a half after beginning vaginal intercourse, and none of the above fixes have worked, it might be time to see a medical professional. You can visit a sex therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist for help.
2. Know what treatment options to expect. The treatment that your doctor recommends will depend on your age, overall health and sexual history, but here's a rundown of the most common routes:

• A short-acting SSRI: Researchers suspect serotonin has an effect on ejaculation, and have found a certain class of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors can help delay it. Dapoxetine is usually prescribed for this; FDA approval is pending in the US.
• Tramadol: A mild oral analgesic, Tramadol's been shown to increase serotonin levels, which can lead to greater ejaculation control.
• Clomipramine: A tri-cyclic anti-depressant, Clomipramine has been used to treat premature ejaculation for decades.
• Intracavernous vasodilator therapy: In extreme cases, your doctor might suggest injecting a vasodilator directly into your penis before intercourse. Though this is usually a successful option, it's not something to start lightly.
