They will want more of these moments and w...

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that increases feelings of happiness. This chemical, released by the brain, enables you to feel motivated and optimistic about the future. When dopamine levels in your body are low, it can lead to depression and lack of motivation. However, there are ways for you to increase your dopamine level in order to combat these adverse conditions. This article outlines some of the most effective ways for you to boost your dopamine levels during a workday when you may be feeling blue or tired from all that procrastination. 1. Caffeine Caffeine is one of the most efficient ways for you to increase the amount of dopamine in your body. This chemical stimulates the neurons in your brain to produce dopamine, which makes you feel more energetic and motivated instantly. You can take a caffeine pill if you are short on time or want a quick fix during work hours. However, be aware that this method may not work well for everyone, since it only lasts for about an hour or so...

Teenagers go through some of the most rapid changes during a person's life. Things like height and weight tend to fluctuate on a day-to-day basis, making it hard for people to know their exact height or weight. But while many things about your appearance are primarily determined by genetics, there are ways you can increase your physical stature later in life.  The key is that you need to know what causes a person’s height which, as it turns out, includes factors like levels of testosterone and estrogen in the body — and then find strategies that tackle those specific factors.  Height is determined by several factors including genetics, hormones, growth plates and skeletal systems. These are all interrelated parts of your body that come together to make your height. When a baby's bones grow they have to do so in accordance with the rest of the body’s development. The bones are lined with cartilage that acts as a shock absorber for joints and muscles, and it also prevents the ...

Online education has grown in popularity, but students are using it to escape for mental health issues. Online education is a blessing and a curse; the degree it offers to students is substantial, but it can also be used as an escape by those who face mental health issues. For online educators, this presents a unique challenge of how to balance personal and professional life while balancing student needs. The key lies in creating healthy relationships with teaching students that support them when they need support and are understanding of their difficulties. Educators have to set their own boundaries. This is hard for online educators, especially because they are separated by a computer screen from the students they work with. Online educators can be tempted to try and help their students through email or other means of contact. This can be over-stepping a boundary, but it also makes people feel like there needs to be an immediate answer or solution. Educators need to take time if th...

There are many reasons people are highly concern about the virginity of girls. For instance, parents would preferably like their daughters to have no sexual experience before marriage, which is an important and cultural factor in many societies. They think that girls who aren't virgins will be attracted to having sex with other people outside their marriage. Besides, some religions assert that sex before marriage is sinful. Lots of media also encourage this idea that virginity has a price and when it's lost it can never be regained. Although studies have determined that the intact hymen is not a reliable indicator of a girl's virginity, people believe that once it breaks it can never be repaired. In the United States alone, girls under the age of 17 experience unintended pregnancies more than nine times as frequently as boys. They also have higher rates of sexually transmitted infections than boys, and a greater risk for contracting HIV/AIDS. In some c...

Coffee is a cultural phenomenon that has found its way into the lives of many. It’s not just an alternative to caffeine but a lifestyle choice with qualities that make it seem more like the beverage of intellectuals and novelists, rather than the beverage of truckers and laborers. You might even say coffee has moved from being the drink for when you needed a boost to being for those moments when you need something a little more cerebral. The reason people prefer coffee before sex might come down to some science: A study from New York's JFK Airport found that out of 182 travelers observed, more than half had ordered caffeinated beverages compared with only 2 percent who ordered decaf beverages. More than a quarter of those ordering decaf drinks were women. So what gives? As a sexologist, I’ve noticed that there are a variety of reasons why people consider coffee to be an aphrodisiac. Some say that it stimulates them but not in the way that alcohol does, so they can remain more in...

Pregnancy is a time of great change and growth in an expecting mother's life. One of the most important milestones during pregnancy are the changes that happen to her body. During this first month, there are several effects that can be seen on a woman's body such as increased blood volume, expansion of tissues, release of hormones and fluids in preparation for delivery. These signs are often referred to as the "Pregnancy Week by Week" or "The First Month". This blog post delves into what these symptoms mean and what potential consequences they may carry with them. Pregnancy Week by Week This is the first month of gestation, and is typically calculated from the last normal menstrual period (LNMP). A typical cycle may include a woman's most fertile days, which occur during ovulation. The release of an egg from the ovaries causes the lining of the uterus to thicken in preparation for fertilization. Inadequate preparation of this mucus layer can ...

In order to properly communicate with your partner about your pregnancy, you have to take into account their feelings as well as your own. That's why we're going to give the reader 5 tips on how to express this pregnancy information using a variety of different communication techniques. 1) Emotional - This is a great way that will let them know how you feel. It will also allow you and your partner to feel more connected emotionally and allow for a good conversation about how they are feeling.  2) Verbal - Instead of talking about the pregnancy in general, take time out of the day where it’s just you and them together and find time for some one on one time. You can say, "I have to go and run an errand, but I wanted to let you know that I will be gone for a while." This will allow you both to feel connected and let them know that you are still thinking about them. You can always add in a smiley face or have your partner say something like, "Call me when...

Pregnancy is a time of excitement, joy, and anticipation. However, it can also be somewhat confusing. There are so many symptoms that may or may not indicate pregnancy. It can be difficult to know which ones are accurate and which ones are just PMS or menstrual irregularities. Some of the most frequently reported symptoms of pregnancy are nausea and vomiting, breast tenderness, fatigue, frequent urination, backaches and food cravings. However, these symptoms may simply be signs of other health problems and should not be taken as indications that you are pregnant. Another way to find out if you might be pregnant is to take a pregnancy test. Pregnancy tests are available in home test form which allows users to collect their urine at home and then dip the strip into it for analysis. Alternatively they can be purchased as a clinical test which requires visiting a doctor's office for analysis or as a drugstore test which is similar to the home version but uses a digital read...

This is a controversial topic, but it's interesting to think about. Why do guys love long haired girls? "When I started dating my husband, he loved that I wore my hair long. He said it made me look like an Angel." -Emily "I’m not sure what all the fuss is about guys liking long haired girls. It doesn’t really make sense to me either because I think short hair on a woman makes them look more mature, attractive and “girly”." -Annie The listicle "Why Boys Love Long Haired Girls" offers compelling theory and evidence through personal stories of real people. Long hair can make your neck look longer and thinner. Guys like slenderness in a girl. Whether she actually is slender or not, long hair can make her look more slender than she is. In addition, long hair can make a girl seem more feminine and delicate. "When I started dating my husband, he loved that I wore my hair long. He said it made me look like an Angel." -Emily "I love t...

One of the most difficult parts of working out is building muscle. You can train to increase strength and endurance, but it's hard to get bigger. There's good news for those who have been hitting the gym with no results: you don’t need to suffer through hours in a gym anymore! In this post, we'll explore how muscles grow, how protein impacts muscle growth, and tips for working out more efficiently. At the end of reading this post you should be ready to step up your game and sculpt that body you've always wanted. The differences between central and anabolic hormones ​Initial steps to building muscle mass Muscle growth occurs in stages. First, there is a signal given by the body telling your muscles to begin growing. This starts with a hormone produced by the pituitary gland which travels from your brain to your pituitary gland. The molecule of this hormone is called Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). When stimulated, it will travel towards the gonads and stimulate th...

If you're trying to lose weight, chances are you've seen a lot of advice on how to do it. Some say that cutting down on calories will work. Others say that exercise is the way, and still others argue for a combination of both. But what do the research results tell us? And how can we use the findings from these studies to help us make our own plans for losing weight and keeping it off. What's the best way to lose weight? A new study gives us some answers. It shows that if you follow a diet in which you reduce calories, you'll lose some weight, but only till your body goes into "starvation mode" and tries to hold onto fat. However, if you exercise while dieting, you're more likely to keep losing weight over time. And even better: Exercise alone can help people lose weight for up to 2 years after they stop exercising. A typical weight loss diet In the new study, researchers looked at the results of two dieting studies. In the first study, participants fo...

Mobile devices are great, but they can be problematic too. Whether you work in the IT industry or not, now is a good time to brush up on some basic security protocols to avoid any potential mobile-related headaches. Imagine how it would feel if your sensitive corporate data was leaked because someone got into your phone! Granted, there's probably not much that you can do if that happens — but at least you'll have peace of mind knowing you're following good security practices and won't be adding to the problem by being careless about devices in places like airports or cafes. On one hand, this blog post will teach readers how to protect their mobile devices from hackers who are trying to access sensitive information stored on them. On the other hand, this article discusses how to secure their data from being stolen by complete strangers in public locations. Mobile devices make it possible to work anywhere, at any time. But when you use those devices in places where the...

Alcohol has become a major problem in society, causing many negative side-effects. It is estimated that alcohol causes over 600,000 deaths per year and damages approximately $250 billion of personal property. Alcohol also leads to crime, increases the risk of sexual violence, and is responsible for 43% (roughly half) of traffic accidents. Alcoholism also affects every level of our society: entire families are affected by alcoholism as well as communities in which we live. There are more than 7 million people currently living with an alcohol use disorder (AUD). Anytime you hear about someone dying from alcohol related diseases or someone being charged with drunk driving/drunken driving, it's directly because they caused those tragedies by drinking too much. The following argument is a basic argument against the use of alcohol in society, with the central premise being that drinking causes social problems. The Argument The evidence for this claim is from a variety of sour...

When most girls get their first period, they're met with relief that it's finally done and dusted, followed by overwhelming curiosity about what will happen next. And while the period usually ends up happening regularly on a monthly basis, during the time between cycles when girls are not having menses (the periods), nothing much seems to happen in terms of physical changes. For a week or so after their menses has finished, everything looks normal once again and the fact that some people go without this bodily function for an extended amount of time is often overlooked. But why do some girls hide their periods from society? The answer greatly varies depending on the girl as well as her societal expectations. However, a large amount of girls choose not to openly discuss their menses with anybody outside their immediate family, negative thoughts and fear that they might get teased and laughed at often being the main reasons for this. While many girls may think it'...

In today's society, the term gay has become one of those terms that gets tossed around carelessly in everyday conversations. A lot of people are still unaware of its true meaning and what it entails. In the past, gay was more commonly associated with happiness and joyfulness. The term came from French word "gaiete" which means gay or joyous. It got mixed up with another French word "ieu", which normally meant life, but became more commonly associated with a happy life in the 1500s into the 1800s. In present day, the word gay has become a derogatory label. It is used to refer to someone who is non-conformist, and someone who chooses to be different from the norm. While this may be true for some people, there are many people whose choices are based on being different and not conforming. One of these groups is homosexual males. They choose homosexuality as their sexual preference because they do not want to conform in today's society like a good Chr...

Lesbians. The word evokes many different emotions for many different people but what is the true meaning of lesbians? To start, it was believed to be translated from French as "laies," which means "female who loves women." In the early 20th century, it defined a woman with a propensity to bond with other females. This inclination is usually displayed through heterosexual relationships. The definition did not stop there: There are also lesbian feminists as well as gay men and lesbian males that identify as lesbians. In more recent years, scholars such as Kate Bornstein and Michel Foucault have expanded the meaning of lesbians to encompass various identities that are un-defined by sexual preference or gender identity. Although in the '70s and '80s, it was popular to identify as lesbian and to have a sexual relationship with another woman, it has since broadened to include gender-fluid individuals, bisexuals, and transgender individuals. Nowadays, t...

The bra size industry is designed to fail women. Here are some reasons why: 1) The standard sizing system is flawed in many ways, and creates a lot of confusion for women on how best to find their perfect fit. 2) Most retail stores sell the bras off the rack, which often comes with no advice on what size would be best for them. 3) There are no standards or international measurement systems that decide bra sizing and create similarity among measurements from nation to nation. 4) The manufacturers and retailers of lingerie are to blame for catering to an older customer base that already has a grip on their own size and does not want any help in knowing what would be best for them. 5) In most cases retailers use the vanity sizing system (smaller cup size, larger band size). This makes it harder on women who are larger in the breast and chest area. 6) Bras are marketed to younger women with perky breasts, but not to women who actually need proper support. 7) There are no Bra fi...

People are talented, curious, and ambitious. We crave the stimulation of creativity and the adrenaline of competition. Always on the go, we have little time to reflect on our accomplishments or just enjoy what we already have. We’re addicted to busyness because it is good for society, but it’s bad for ourselves as individuals. A person who is constantly busy has little time to notice what they’re doing with their precious life and ponder whether it is the right use of their time. Busy people often sacrifice things they enjoy to achieve a goal, which itself is an equally valuable experience. We’ve come to accept that being busy is good for us, but it can also create stress and anxiety that affect both our physical and mental health. Stress hormones have been shown to leave us less productive, less effective at problem-solving, and more emotionally volatile. The pressure of needing to be busier than we already are might also be responsible for a lot of doctor visits as our bo...

Girls who have a curvy, hourglass figure are more likely to turn the heads of men and catch their attention. In fact, in order to understand the male mind, we need to study the female figure since different sexes look for different qualities from each other. Some people argue that this preference has negative consequences in terms of health due to obesity and other factors with long-term health implications. But it is not just about appearance; there are also psychological reasons why men are attracted by curvy figures. First, when looking for a long-term partner, men look for a woman who is able to provide him with food and care. Men are likely to have an innate preference for "healthy" women. Hence, it is natural that they are attracted to curves of the girls. Second, human beings are attracted by symmetry; those who appear more symmetrical tend to be stronger and healthier. Studies have shown that men prefer women with moderate amounts of fat on their bodies as...

Addiction is a compulsive behavior that someone does repeatedly, despite it causing problems in their life. When people talk about addiction, they are not talking about being hooked on a drug like heroin or cocaine. They are talking about mental habits that can lead to mental difficulties. This post will cover the many different types of addictions, and how they lead to an unhealthy lifestyle in the long term. It will also explain how you can develop an addiction and what to do if you find yourself addicted (or think you might be). Finally, this post will provide some tips for how to avoid becoming addicted in the first place. A few notes before getting started: The advice will use the term "addiction" to describe someone who is hooked on a certain substance or activity. The cause of this addiction does not matter (all addictions have similar symptoms). Alcoholics are included under "addicts." Some people might object to this. This is more for simplifyin...

PINK! What a color is that. Sounds like a sort of cheese, or maybe an animal, the color of peonies in springtime? No, pink is the color of girls and women. It's feminine but also strong and uplifting. It invokes feelings of warmth and softness, but also comfort and security. Because these traits are often seen as weak, it's difficult for women to embrace pink. Many of us are taught not to like what is feminine and are often made to feel as though being feminine is a bad thing. We fear appearing weak, vulnerable, and most of all clingy and desperate. But when we listen to what our minds have been telling us throughout our lives, we realize that these lessons simply aren't true. Being soft doesn't mean you're weak—it means you're kind, loving, and accepting. For example: I love the color pink because it represents a very difficult time in my life when a close friend helped me through one of the toughest times I've experienced thus far. I cried a lo...

Did you know ... * Sex is just a product of marketing? * Unless you're talking about the sex life of plants, which is far too complicated to explain. * People in the US are more likely to talk about sex than anywhere else in the world? This includes our movies, music and TV shows. Even our language has been deemed "sex-positive." We use words like "oops," "hook up" and "ninja nookie." Oh yeah, it's because we've been told that it's taboo or shameful. * Some people will try to ban you from using the words "vagina," "clitoris" and "vulva" in public? They will also suggest that we're not supposed to talk about a woman's body, besides saying that she has one! Anything beyond that is viewed as inappropriate. * Sex can be considered as dirty talk? It's all because of the way we are conditioned in society. We're told not to discuss certain topics, so it becomes unacceptable. If so...

In the United States, according to a recent study conducted by UNICEF, breastfeeding accounts for only 40% of infants' total nutrition. Breastfeeding is crucial for babies since it provides them with the nutrients they need to grow and develop, as well as reduce their risk of death from illnesses that can be prevented when babies are breastfed. Furthermore, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all mothers breastfeed their children until two years old or beyond. Breastfeeding also helps with postpartum bonding between mother and child. Here are some of the benefits that breastfeeding provides for infants and their mothers. Breastfeeding Provides a Healthy Start Breastfed babies consume more total energy from breast milk than formula or infant cereal. Breast milk also contains antibodies that protect babies from infections, and other substances in breast milk that reduce the risk of autism, asthma, diabetes, ear infections, allergies and many other chronic i...

Are you trying to attract a certain type of person? This post will demystify how attraction works and why opposites really do attract. And if you're wondering whether there's hope for your dating life, the answer is yes! Ever wonder what kind of person you are most drawn to? Or start thinking about your ideal partner? Biology has some answers. Yes, it does take a little bit more than just looking good with the right outfit and hair style, but ultimately being attractive depends on certain personality traits that are linked by neurotransmitter chemicals in our brains and hormones that regulate sexual desire. When it comes to attraction, opposites really do attract. Twin studies show that we typically have different polarities of personality traits in the same person. When men are more extroverted and women are more introverted, they may be attracted to each other. Even identical twins, raised in the same home environment, will have different personalities! If you...

The author of the blog post, Mike Beighley  and a friend Aisha  are both were featured in  a Huffington Post’s article about “Why people shy to talk about sex in public?”  . The article points out that according to a recent survey, over 75% of Americans feel that they have not discussed their sexual history with anyone since they started college. This is especially true for millennials who have been told from birth that it’s inappropriate or risky to discuss these topics openly in public spaces. They are told to keep their sexual experiences private in order to protect themselves from judgement or stigmatization by others.  The survey was carried out by the University of Nebraska’s College Health Research Center  and it surveyed over 2,000 people aged 18-22. 41% of these participants had never discussed their sexual history with another person since starting college while 26% admitted that they had not done so even once. According to the two aut...

Intimacy health is the idea of fostering strong, honest and meaningful relationships that enable people to grow, share and offer mutual support. It’s about living in a way where you can release your inhibitions and become fully expressive of who you are, without feeling judged or rejected. Intimacy health is about being truly seen for who you are and loving your partner unconditionally. It’s about accepting both yourself and your partner as unique individuals with their own needs and wants, but still being the best partners they can be for each other. It’s about building that meaningful connection with someone that enables you to share in great experiences as well as hardships, and support each other through it all. Intimacy health is about emotional health; the kind of health that is cultivated through loving, meaningful relationships. It involves having nurturing and caring experiences with someone who can encourage you to learn about yourself through both your successes and failur...
