The Oxytocin Role for Men

If they have found a remedy or answer to the attraction of men to opposite sex, how about the attraction of women to opposite? Here is the study.. A new study, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, shows that when men in relationships are given oxytocin, they stay a farther distance away from unknown, attractive women. "Previous animal research in prairie voles identified oxytocin as major key formonogamous fidelity in animals," study researcher Dr. Rene Hurlemann, M.D., Ph.D., of the University of Bonn, said in a statement. "Here, we provide the first evidence that oxytocin may have a similar role for humans." The study included 86 healthy, heterosexual men, and was broken into several parts. For one part, researchers administered either a nasal spray of oxytocin, or a placebo nasal spray to the men (about half of whom were single, while the other half were in committed relationships). Then, 45 minutes later, an attractive woman came up to the men. In some

The Healthy Snacking

There are plenty of delicious and nutritious foods around, but here are what identified as healthy food for our body that can be eaten during snack time.. Healthy eaters identified fruit, yogurt and nutritional bars as some of their top picks, but we wanted more.

So, we turned to the experts: We asked 10 nutritionists what they like to munch on when hungry in between meals. The R.D.'s were not short on snack food: From avocado halves to portable seaweed snacks, there's bound to be a tempting (and healthy) treat in the mix to keep you satiated. Check out their answers below for some snack-spiration, then let us know in the comments section what you love to nosh on.

SARS-like mystery illness emerges in Middle East

The World Health Organization in London had issued a global alert on Monday for a new SARS-like respiratory virus which left a man from Qatar critically ill in a London hospital and killed at least one more in Saudi Arabia. The 49-year-old Qatari was admitted to an intensive care unit in Doha on September 7 suffering from acute respiratory infection and kidney failure before being transferred to Britain by air ambulance on September 11, the WHO said. A Saudi Arabian national died earlier this year from a virtually identical virus, the WHO said, while Saudi medical authorities said they were investigating other possible cases of the disease. The WHO confirmed the illness was in the coronavirus family but was not SARS, or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, which swept out of China in 2003, killing more than 800 people worldwide. “This is a new virus,” WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl told AFP. “We haven’t heard of any more new cases. We don’t have an appreciation of how widespr

Ways to Minimize Exposure to Sun Radiation

There are different ways to  escape the ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Here are some;  Avoid sun exposure. the sun's rays are strongest between 10 am to 2 pm. Avoid reflected sunlight from sand, pavements, or snow. Apply sunscreen with sun protection of at least SPF 15 (Sun Protection Factor). This should be repeated throughout the day if exposure is continuous.  Use sunscreens with prolonged exposure to artificial light source such as fluorescent lamps, welding arcs, cold quartz or bactericidal lamps. Wear protective clothing to reduce skin absorption of the radiation. smoke and smog in large cities only partially screens UVB rays so you have to be protected.

The Advantage of Standing

We all want sitting and laying down in bed. But do you know that is healthier to stand than to sit or lay down. Standing appears to be better for your health than sitting. Marc Hamilton and a team at University of Missouri Columbia found the recommended 30 minutes of exercise per day was not enough to counteract health problems caused by sitting and sleeping the other 23.5 hours. Their research suggests that after several hours sitting, our bodies shut down burning fat and cholesterol. Standing switches those metabolic functions back on, and calorie burning is effectively doubled.

Be Careful with TV Commercials That Endorses Food.

Our children still doesn't know how to distinguish right or wrong. But everybody presume that everything we watch from TV is good. If you have observed, most of the things that was shown on TV commercials pertains on food. The food that was shown mostly if not junk, is grow food. The children develop interest on those foods especially that the one who act on it portrays delicious experience. So the children presume that it is a good food, because the one who act are healthy and enjoying in eating the food. But the truth is, the food they eat is not the kind of food we need daily, it is a kind of food that is less in nutrients and minerals. The food is a kind of food that should be eaten occasionally and not daily. Majority of can afford families serve food according to what their children like and not their needs. Parents do not follow what is essential and good for their family, but rather follow their children wants. We put to

The influence of media nowadays particularly television is so great. Almost everyone had been hooked up on TV from time of waking up till the time going to bed. Every one has their own program to watch  daily. Anywhere TV can be found, from home, workplace, office, bus, cellphone, and computer. Almost everywhere, the presence of TV can be notice. But what risk and danger does TV brings especially to our children who don't really understand its purpose? We presume that everything that was shown on are very good, if it reach the proper audience. But often that we can't control kids viewing, and some of us use TV as guide to control and consume the time of our kids so that they will not focus on other activities. TV addiction is develop from childhood to adulthood. There are instances that we skip meals, work, and others just to give time for our favorite program to watch.

Maintaining our body

It is said that prevention is much better than cure. How? We should know and particular about the food pyramid, the go , grow , and glow . The go foods are rice, cereals, bread, corn, and root crops. The grow foods are the meat, milk, eggs, nuts, fish, and butter. The glow foods are the different fruits and vegetables. We should eat plenty of go foods because it is our everyday source of energy, then minimal amount of glow foods, and little on grow foods. The different age group need different food and amount. The infant and children needs more go and grow foods for their growth years. Adult need more go and glow foods. There are recommended amount of daily food intake for different age group, but if we are not aware, let us be familiar with the vitamins and minerals content of certain food we eat.  But if we're not sure, let us just take a little amount of the food we seldom eat, because we're not sure if what will be its effect on us after taking it.

What our body needs

There are two things that we must know and maintain in having a good health; good nutrition and physical fitness. Good nutrition can be preserved and maintain by eating and consuming proper foods for our body, we must be particular that the food originally for our body to be consumed are fruits and vegetables. But due to the change of time, custom, and lifestyle the meat has been part of our diet as source of fats and protein. Then we became addicted in eating meat, that the the supposed to be small amount of meat to be consumed became more in quantity. Have you observed the tooth of herbivorous and carnivorous, the dog is carnivorous so it has a pointed teeth, and mammal who were eating plants have different sets of teeth for chewing. The carnivorous has pointed teeth because it was intended for tearing meat they chew as food, people don't have that kind of tooth because they we're destined to consume fruits and vegetables. The meat is not safe as food to consume because
