Benefits of wider butts

benefits of wide butts

It is said that everyone loves big butts, and there are also lot of reasons why we should appreciate large butts according to science research. Here are some benefits of having big butts:

  • Prevent diabetes or heart problems – women with bigger butts have lower levels of cholesterol and glucose, which reduces the risk of having diabetes and heart problems
  • Longer life – studies conducted by universities inCaliforniaand Pittsburgh found out that having bigger butts and small waist can conribute to a longer life
  • Protect lower back – bigger buts help with walking by propeeling your legs forward. Having weak butt means that other smaller muscles are used to help with walking which can lead to strains in back, hips and knees
  • Help with correct posture – Strong butt can help you to stand straight as it lenghtens hip flexors.
  • smarter kids – Butt and tigh fat stores a lot of Omega-3 fatty acids, which are then transfered to breast milk during breastfeeding. Some scientists believe that this can result in having smarter kids as Omega-3 helps with development of brain, nervous system and eyes.
  • Help you streamline silhouette –strong butt can help you maintain a good looking silhouette as it helps you keep hips underneath the body whereas peple with weak butts end up pushing their hips forward which pushes belly forward and gives illusion of a gut.
  • Butt fatt is health-wise quite harmless – unlike the white fat in the gut, yellow fat, which is present in butts does not cause high blood pressure or inflamation.
  • ´food reserve´- the fat stored in butts can serve as an energy reserve for when you are too busy to eat – eg too bosy at work for a lunchbreak or too sick to eat.
  • Help with pregnancy – having a big but can help during pregnancy. Big butt can balance out baby belly and helps to relieve strain on spine, which can make walking easier especially during the last months of pregnancy
  • Make women more intuitive – according to studies, women with bigger butts are even more intuitive than women with smaller butts. This is due to the fact that men find women with bigger butts more attractive, so they need to have stronger social skills to choose the correct man.
  • Reduce risk of Diabetes – having big butts and small hips can significantly lower risk of diabetes.
  • Protect harmstrings – harmstrings – muscles that are at the back of the thighs –are very vulnerable to injuries. Strong butts can help protect harmstrings by helping with movements that engage these muscles

Relationship needs time to grow

“Do you have any prejudice against a separated woman?” Last night one of my friends asked me. Soon I clear my idea that no, I have no prejudice. My idea is not to hurry into marriage. Take time, understand the strength of your relation then think to settle in life and when you are settled try to grow into the relationship. Mostly it is seen that relation gets over with the honeymoon.

A woman in bed with you is like a poetry that has its filtered meaning as this woman is now full of romance and passion and their relationship has valued each other to an extent that now they are ready to be one. It connotes that after spending so much time together, finally a strong bond of trust is made and she is ready to unwind herself before her love. Sex is actually the byproduct of your longing for her, for the love stored in the two hearts.

It is true that we often hear about sex that it is the most hampering requirement of our body that never satiates. Actually sex ferments the blood and soon an unknown part of love starts to flow in the blood that propels us to writhe for the closeness. But our relationship ought to realize that this writhe is the magic that should not ever be satiated. Let the magic of sex transport into a long lasting love and into a harmonious relationship that makes a strong bond and a promise to live together forever.

Relationship grows with time and it has the cosmic beauty that holds the meaning of pure understanding of one’s mind and its faculties that store emotions, fear, psyche and several sweet and arid memories which have helped in shaping the personality of a person whom you are in love with. It is more important to spend a good deal of time getting to know each other than rushing into bed. But everyone craves to satisfy their rosy butterflies of sex and fantasy at the unripe stage of relationship which soon can meet the ugly and bare face of disharmony.

My friend is now single, a mother of seven years old girl and now only 32, beautiful and eligible to look for her new Prince Charlie. She was really very honest in her words and expression and expectation. Hope she is now better experienced to measure the strength of relationship before going into the matrimony again.

I agree it is always a difficult to trust someone, as the saying goes: “Once beaten twice shy.” Trust takes time and it becomes very difficult when you have come out of a bad relationship. It really takes a lot of time in opening the heart again. It is better to wait a little for the right time and the right man, who can lull the heart forever.

It is seen that in the initial stage of relationship both try to keep their words sugarcoated so truth takes time but it surely appears. But the one who goes deeper suffers a lot so one always tries to keep the relationship boat on surface.

In fact, Life is a gamble in which marriage is really a very big gamble. After all you can’t know a person until you have spent a good deal of time with him or her. We mostly judge people on their face value. If someone speaks fine, it doesn’t mean he or she is equally good at heart. If we keep our eyes and ears open then gradually we gain maturity and we learn reality better and we judge people from heart and find a better life partner.

It is always good to keep honesty as the best policy in life and in relationship.

Surprising Health Benefits of Being in Love

The word love reminds me of a novel The Notebook written by Nicholas Sparks where at some point he writes: “I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul and to me, this has always been enough.”  Probably those couples who have ever said these lines to their loved ones must have never needed to know the benefits of love. True!

Love is a magic and lovers know this best. No need to tell them about the importance of love. But others need to know.

 

  1. Better sleep
    Medical science says that love gives better sleep. The chemical Oxytocin that is released during sleep gives a deeper and sounder sleep. And a couple who loves each other wants to retire on bed fast and early so they sleep better and longer. But Dr. Theodor Seuss Geisel who was an American writer, poet, and cartoonist once said: “You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”
  2. Happy heart finds happy life
    How wonderful is life when it has no stress but it can only be possible in a dream in our today’s life. A writer Mahogany Silver Rain once said: “My body needs laughter as much as it needs tears. Both are cleansers of stress.” Dr. Hullett says: “Human beings are social animals who have biological drives that make them want to find relationships and when they can’t find those unions, they’re punished with stress.” People in happy relationships experience less stress, which in turn improves their cardiovascular health. Furthermore, Dr. Hullett says that people who aren’t in stable, committed relationships have an increased rate of heart attacks.
  3. Reduces Pain
    Life is not as easy as the love. Love does wonders in life. Love boosts oxytocin production which in turn boosts endorphins – the natural body pain killers. Hence it will help you overcome body pain from headaches, arthritis and PMS symptoms. But pain and love combine together and tell the story of our life. Paulo Coelho said “If pain must come, may it come quickly. Because I have a life to live and I need to live it in the best way possible. If he has to make a choice, may he make it now? Then I will either wait for him or forget him.”
  4.  Improves Heart Health
    Heart is where your love grows. Keep it clean and safe. Neil Gaiman says “Every lover is, in his heart, a madman, and, in his head, a minstrel.” So be a good lover and listen to what you favorite singer Bob Marley says: “One love, one heart, one destiny.” Of course your heart will be safe. And there is wonderful good news for men: study shows that men who made love at least two or more times a week were less likely to suffer from fatal attacks when compared to men who did it only once a month.
  5.  Deeper Intimacy
    Writer Richard Bach says: “The opposite of Loneliness is not Togetherness, it´s Intimacy.” This very “Word” tells all about our life. Without intimacy we have nothing in our life. Regular love making is also known to boost oxytocin levels. It is nicknamed the love-hormone. It is largely responsible for trust building and bonding in couples. In a research, about 59 unique women were studied. They were asked to hug their partners intimately for a period of time and then their levels of oxytocin were checked. Physical intimacy increased the levels significantly. People also feel more generous. Both these feelings of trust and generosity are extremely important aspects of the lives of couples.
  6. Better Self-Esteem
    Writer IsraelmoreAyivor says: “Self-esteem is the switch in the circuit of your life that dims or brightens your future. Bring it low and you don’t shine your light; raise it up and you brighten the corner where you are.” So one ought to do anything to have a better self-esteem in his or her life and if love is the magical thing that is bringing you better self-esteem then what else one can beg to have in life. Researchers from the University of Texas reported that people made love to boost their self-esteem. It figured high in the list of 237 reasons. Even if you do not have a low self-esteem, it is still good to improve your self-esteem even more. It is a mutual concept – you can have great love if you have good self-esteem and your self esteem is improved when you have frequent love making. Many therapists advise their patients to indulge in more sessions.
  7. Look and feel younger.
    The writer Franz Kafka said: “Youth is happy because it has the capacity to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.” And a happy love life means more smiles and laughter. Research shows that people who stay positive look and feel better as they age than those who don’t.
  8. Help you live longer.
    The Hollywood actress Mae West said: “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” Indeed our life is one and if we love someone very honestly then life is wonderful. Research says: “There’s a long history of research that has looked at the health benefits of marriage,” According to a 2004 study by the CDC, mortality rates were found to be the lowest in married couples.” Dr. Hullett attributes these findings to the fact that, generally speaking, people experience less stress when they’re in committed, healthy relationships—and less stress means better health. Plus, it has been shown that when men marry they give up some of their risky behavior—like heavy drinking and smoking—which leads to longevity.

Surprising health benefits of Sex

Sex always remains a curiosity for human. It is the fifth most googled word on google. Recent studies say that the average person has sex 127 times per year and the desirable length of time for sex is between seven to thirteen minutes.

  1. Sex burns 360 calories a day.  The average session of sex burns between 50 and 100 calories. Having sex 3 times a week burns 7500 calories per year. That’s the equivalent of jogging 75 miles. The more intense the sex, the more calories are burned: up to 15,000 calories annually (at a frequency of 3 times weekly). 15,000 calories equals over 4 pounds ofweight loss per year!
  2. Sex improves sleep. A good night’s sleep reduces tension, feelings of stress, nervousness, and irritability. After a night of no sleep- attractiveness decreases by 6% and visual tiredness increases by 19%. Lack of sleep elevates the stress hormones by 37%. Women with good sleep habits are 13% happier. 12% of women say sleep troubles interfere with their relationship.1 in 4 live-in couples in the US frequently report being too tired for sex.
  3. Sex reduces the risk of prostrate cancer.  A 2004 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association analyzed data on 29,342 men and found that guys who had 21 or more orgasms a month were about 30 percent less likely to develop prostate cancer than those who racked up only four to seven a month. So, tell your wife it’s doctor’s orders.
  4. Kissing each day will keep the dentist away. Kissing encourages saliva to wash food from the teeth and lowers the level of the acid that causes decay, preventing plaque build-up. Kissing can burn around 120-325 calories an hour, or around 2-5 calories a minute. Engaging in long make-out sessions with your partner is not only good for your relationship; it is also good for your waistline. A 10 minute make-out session with your partner each morning and each evening could burn up to 100 calories a day. That’s 36,500 calories a year, or just over 10 pounds worth of weight loss.
  5. Sex is an instant cure for mild depression. It releases endorphins into the bloodstream, producing a sense ofeuphoria and leaving you with a feeling of well-being.
  6. Sex is a beauty treatment. When women make love they produce hormones that make their hair shine and skin glow.  Gentle relaxed lovemaking reduces your chances of skin blemishes. Wild sex makes you sweat which cleanses the pores making for a healthy body. Sex brings relief to head pains. It makes the blood flow to the small capillaries. It is a natural antihistamine. It will relieve stuffy nose and sinuses. This one is almost embarrassing to list because it is so lame, but as we all know lovemaking burns off the calories from all the food you ate today.
  7. The more sex you have, the more you will be offered. The sexually active body gives off greater quantities ofchemicals called pheromones. These subtle sex perfumes drive the opposite sex crazy!
  8. Sex can reduce a fever because of the sweat produced. It works as a natural antihistamine that combats fever and even asthma.
  9. A medical study conducted in Pennsylvania showed that people who have sex once or twice a week have their immune systems boosted slightly.
  10. On average, it takes two tablespoons of blood to get a man’s penis erect.

Lucky lips always find a pair of lucky lips.

Ah, kiss. It reminds me of cliff Richard´s song: “Lucky lips always find a pair of lucky lips.” And tell me who doesn’t want to be lucky when kiss is so many beneficial. Kissing is an art and a science that keep our body healthy. The study says that a passionate kiss gives the brain more oxygen than normal.
