Sit on the second-to-last stair in the shallow end of the pool with your legs spread. Lean back on your forearms for support. Have your man stand between your legs with his arms on either side of you as he enters you. He can lean on his hands for leverage as he thrusts wildly.


Your man's vigorous in-and-out movements will create carnal currents that will hit your nether regions, boosting stimulation.

Try this tantalizing twist on the typical missionary position (him on top, you on bottom). Instead of having your man rest on his elbows, ask him to slide two to four inches forward. Have him place his arms on either side of your shoulders, letting his body fall flat against yours. Make sure you both keep your spines straight. With your legs touching his, push your pelvis up about two inches. Your man should push down gently, providing a little counter-resistance. Instead of the usual in-and-out of thrusting, rock up and down.


Okay, so missionary doesn’t always make you quake. But because he’s in a more forward position, the base of his penis should naturally rub your clitoris. The rocking motion draws out the orgasm, building pleasure gradually. Because both sets of genitals are sharing such tight quarters, your climb to the climax will be intensified.

Lie on your back by the edge of a pool or dock so your butt's just hanging over the edge above the water. Have your man stand in the water, facing you, then lift your legs and rest them on his shoulders as he enters you. You can hold on to the edge of the pool or dock for support.


With On the Edge, your man has a full frontal view. So up the optic ante (and channel your inner sex goddess) by caressing your breasts and tummy, which will give him even more eye candy. A bonus: You'll feel spasms of pleasure as the cool water splashes your privates

This is a tricky pose and can only be done when the sea is calm. Lie facedown on a surfboard with your arms and legs outstretched on either side. With your guy standing at your side in waist-deep water, have him wrap his leg around the board to mount it like a horse and enter you from behind. Once he and the board are steady, he should stretch out as well.


Trying not to tip over the surfboard adds an extra element of fun to this carnal challenge. And, having the hard substance beneath you — and his hard body on top of you — feels exquisitely sexy.

Have your partner kneel behind you, but tell him to lean slightly backward. With your back to him, you kneel in front of him, your legs between his. Your bodies should be squeezed together tightly. Wrap his arms around your waist and put your hands wherever you want (his forearms, hips, etc). Once he’s inside you, move up and down or swivel your hips in a circular motion in tandem, stopping to take breaks when you get too worked up or tired.


Since he’s tilting back, he has G-spot access. And this position allows for intense pressure since you’re meshing your butt super snugly with his groin.

No one has a crystal ball and can predict who will or will not get injured from running. Now, however, a new study called a meta-analysis (a study that reviews many studies on one subject) evaluated studies of running injuries and published the following interesting results:

• The overall incidence of lower-extremity injuries varied from 19.4% to 79.3%, thus the range is wide, which implies that it is difficult to predict who will get injured.

• The most predominant site of injury was the knee.

• Higher age was reported as a significant risk factor to incur running injuries in four high-quality studies, but two other high-quality studies reported that higher age was a significant protective factor, thus the evidence is conflicting and so it's not clear if running when you are older will cause or protect you from injury.

• Running more than 40 miles per week was a risk factor for both male and female runners to incur lower-extremity running injuries, although the risk was higher for males, perhaps because they tend to weigh more than women.

• There appears to be no association between the use of a warm-up and lower-extremity injuries. This means that stretching beforehand may not reduce your risk of injury. This is not a surprise, as there is virtually no research to show that stretching prevents any type of injury.

Jogging is running slowly, and sprinting is running fast. Human beings started walking and running some 4-6 million years ago when we evolved and rose from all fours. More American were spectators of running than they were participants during the era of Jesse Owens, but that has changed in the past 35 years. It could be the exhilaration of propelling your body through space, or the pounding on the ground that sends sensation up your bones all the way to the pleasure centers in your brain, or it could simply be the sheer satisfaction of having done something good for yourself. Whatever it is, running can be addictive.

What are the health benefits of running?

One of the major points of the position statement is that there is a dose response to exercise; that is, the more you do, or the harder you do it, the more benefit you accrue. But this point is not to discount moderate exercise. You get plenty of benefit from moderate exercise, it's just that vigorous exercise seems to accrue even more benefit. Cardiorespiratory fitness (aerobic fitness or "cardio") is the ability of your heart to pump stronger and more efficiently and your muscles to use oxygen more efficiently. Running improves your aerobic fitness by increasing the activity of enzymes and hormones that stimulate the muscles and the heart to work more efficiently.

Injuries to the hamstring group of muscles can range from a minor strain to a major rupture. Given the function of these muscles, it should not be surprising that grade III injuries most frequently occur in the athletically active. Severely torn muscle causes impaired function. Many a promising or successful athletic career has been limited or ended by such injuries. One such memorable image is that of Yankee baseball star Mickey Mantle sprawled in agony at first base, having sustained a massive grade III tear while lunging to beat out a throw. Even common exercises, such as jumping rope, tennis, and elliptical machine walking can lead to injury of the hamstring muscles.

Hamstring injuries usually occur with sudden lunging, running, or jumping, resulting in muscle injury. The sudden jerking pulls on the tissues of the hamstring muscle. In fact, it is commonly referred to as a "pulled hamstring." Oftentimes, a "pop" is heard or felt by the injured athlete. A variable amount of pain is experienced immediately. The athlete is usually unable to continue and oftentimes cannot even stand. Tears and strains most often occur at the middle of the back of the thigh where the muscle joins its tendon or at the origin of the hamstring at the base of the buttocks (at the ischium).

Most hamstring injuries heal without surgery. In rare cases, where there is a complete rupture at the ischium, or where significant piece of ischial bone is jerked away, surgery is necessary. Essentially, all other grade I-III tears are best treated without surgery. The goal of treatment is to restore muscle function and prevent scar formation. Initially, treatment consists of rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE). Rest refers to avoidance of offending activities and oftentimes includes immobilization. In severe cases, crutches or splinting may be necessary. Ice, compression, and elevation all assist in controlling pain and swelling.

As soon as pain permits, it is important to begin a program of stretching and range-of-motion exercises because prolonged immobilization and inactivity results in muscle shrinkage and scar tissue. Excessive scar tissue is incompatible with healthy muscle function. Atrophy and fibrosis are best avoided or reduced by a program of motion and stretching implemented early in the rehabilitation process. It should be emphasized that an early rehabilitation program does not mean a quick return to the desired usual activity. Given the type of individual that usually sustains a significant hamstring injury, it is usually difficult task to keep athletic patients off the playing field.

The hamstrings are the tendons that attach the large muscles at the back of the thigh to bone. The hamstring muscles are the large muscles that pull on these tendons. Academic anatomists refer to them as the posterior thigh muscles, and more specifically as the semimembranosis, the semitendinosis, and the biceps femoris muscles. These muscles span the thigh, crossing both the hip and the knee. The origin of the word hamstring comes from the old English hamm, meaning thigh. String refers to the characteristic appearance and feel of the tendons just above the back of the knee. Although the tendons are sometimes involved in injuries, this article will refer to the "hamstrings" as the large muscle group at the back of the thigh because the most frequent problems involve the muscle groups.

The hamstring muscles actively bend (flex) the knee. They also act to straighten or (extend) the hip (as in the motion of moving the thigh backward). Surprisingly, these large muscles are not very active with normal walking or standing. However, they are extremely important in power activities such as running, jumping, and climbing. The power advantages of strong hamstrings have been known for a long time. In times past, a sword-wielding knight would disable an opponent by a slice across the back of the thigh. Cruel masters were known to have severed the hamstrings of domestic slaves or prisoners in order to make escape less likely. The origin of the term hamstrung, meaning to have been crippled or held back, is derived from these practices.

Everyone experiences occasional sleep problems, but getting a good night’s sleep is essential for feeling refreshed and alert during the day. Lack of sleep might make you feel foggy and unable to concentrate, or just a lesser version of your normal self. Sleep problems will eventually disrupt your work, family and personal relationships. Particular behaviors during the day are telltale signs of sleep deprivation. If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms on a regular basis, your sleeplessness might be part of an ongoing problem or sleep disorder.

Almost everyone will be affected by insomnia at some point during life. Insomnia – a short term or chronic inability to get high quality sleep – is a common sleep problem and can be caused by a variety of things including stress, a change in time zones, an altered sleep schedule or poor bedtime habits. The great news is that insomnia doesn’t have to be a permanent problem. In many cases, self help techniques, including improved sleep hygiene, relaxation and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), can alleviate insomnia and promote better health as well as better sleep.

Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder that can be potentially very serious, and even life-threatening. In sleep apnea, your breathing stops or gets very shallow while you are sleeping. Each pause in breathing typically lasts 10 to 20 seconds or more, and the pauses can occur 20 to 30 times or more an hour. During the episodes of apnea, the sleeper wakes up to breathe again, disrupting sleep, and also suffers from a brief lack of oxygen.

Snoring is caused by a narrowing of your airway, either from poor sleep posture, excess weight or physical abnormalities of your throat. A narrow airway gets in the way of smooth breathing and creates the sound of snoring. The snoring noise doesn’t necessarily that the airway is obstructed, as it is in sleep apnea. Snoring may accompany sleep apnea, but not always.

Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder that causes extreme sleepiness and may even make a person fall asleep suddenly and without warning. Specific causes of narcolepsy are not known but people with narcolepsy are lacking hypocretin, a brain chemical which regulates sleep and wakefulness.

Having diabetes certainly makes a heart attack more likely — heart disease is the leading cause of death in people with diabetes. But that doesn't mean it's inevitable. There are steps you can take to help protect yourself from a heart attack, like staying active, cutting the amount of fat you eat, and controlling your weight. If you smoke, quitting is the most important thing you can do to keep your heart healthy. Making these changes is hard, so ask your family or friends to support you, whether it's helping you prepare a healthy, tasty meal or joining you for a walk.

Three out of four people with diabetes die from a heart disease or stroke. While experts don’t fully understand the causal relationship between diabetes and cardiovascular disease, it’s clear that diabetes — especially type 2 diabetes — is often accompanied by various heart disease risk factors, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and obesity. Diabetes is also associated with an increased tendency for forming clots. Kidney disease, a complication of diabetes, also considerably boosts the risk for heart disease. And studies have demonstrated an association between the earliest stage of kidney disease (microalbuminuria) and heart disease.

It can take years for complications to appear, but when they do, they’re usually serious. Restricted blood flow to the heart may trigger the chest pain called angina. A critical lack of blood can also cause a heart attack, in which a portion of the heart muscle dies. When blood flow to the brain is blocked, a stroke can occur.

Keeping your ABCs in check can also help you lower your risk for heart disease and stoke. The ABCs are an easy way to remember some of the most important health issues related to diabetes. As a man with diabetes, it's important to stay informed about related health complications, take a look at the ABCs, and speak with your healthcare provider to see if these issues are affecting you.

A is for A1C
Your A1C reflects your average blood glucose level for the two to three month period before the test. Your healthcare provider uses it to determine how well you are managing your blood sugar. A goal of less than 7 percent is desirable, which corresponds to an average blood glucose level of 150 mg/dL.

B is Blood Pressure
Men with diabetes should aim for a blood pressure level below 130/80 mm Hg. You should monitor blood pressure at each routine diabetes visit.

C is for Cholesterol (lipids)
A complete cholesterol test, referred to as a lipid panel or lipid profile, includes the measurement of four types of fats (lipids) in your blood, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, total cholesterol and triglycerides. LDL is sometimes called the "bad" cholesterol. Total cholesterol is the sum of your blood's cholesterol content. Triglycerides are another type of fat in the blood. When you eat, your body converts any calories it doesn't need to use right away into triglycerides, which are stored in fat cells and released later for energy.

Allergic asthma is probably a term you're familiar with. That's because allergy and asthma are closely connected. Most people who have asthma also have allergies, and many people, especially children, who has allergies also have asthma. Allergic asthma is the most common type of asthma and is sometimes referred to as allergy induced asthma or extrinsic asthma.

As with other types of asthma, diagnosing allergy-induced asthma requires a medical history and possibly testing. Since most people with allergies and asthma have a family history of it, your doctor will ask you about your parents' and siblings' medical history of allergy & asthma. There are lung function tests, such as spirometry and peak flow rates, that can tell the doctor more about how well your airways are working. But with allergic asthma, your doctor may also want to do some allergy testing via skin tests, to learn more about whether allergens are what is causing your symptoms.

The main difference with allergic asthma is what sets off, or triggers your symptoms. In people with an allergy and asthma, those triggers tend to be what are called airborne allergens. That means they circulate via air currents and are inhaled into your body when you breathe. In addition to tracking triggers and symptoms to gain insight into how your body reacts to the world around you, allergic asthma treatment focuses on avoiding triggers (prevention) and medicine. It may also include immunotherapy, which is often referred to as allergy shots.

There are lots of different diets, diet pills and other weight loss products on the market which can help you to lose weight. But not all of these weight loss products will help you to maintain your weight loss. And not all will help you to lose weight in a healthy way.

· In the opinion of 99 percent of nutritionists, including myself, the only effective way to lose weight is to reduce calories-in and increase calories-out.

· Furthermore, anyone who wants to lose weight should avoid any very-low-calorie diet plans or any other artificial type of fad diet. Not only are such diet plans often lacking in diet nutrition, but also they don't help us to adopt good eating habits which is an essential part of successful weight loss.

· Lastly, anyone who wants to lose weight and maintain their weight loss should take regular daily exercise, lasting 20-45 minutes depending on their health, fitness and overall commitment to lose weight.

To get your good life, you must focusing on three good things that occurred each day is proven to increase levels of happiness and decrease feelings of depression.

To experience this for yourself, each night before sleep recall three good things that happened that day. Do this for one week. A good thing need not be something dramatic, just something positive. In addition to recalling each good thing, review what might have caused that good event.

Researchers doing this study found that positive effects continued for up to six months, primarily because the study participants found three good things so satisfying they continued it on their own beyond the study period.

Maintain a healthy weight
Studies show that maintaining a healthy weight (especially for postmenopausal women) is an important aspect of decreasing one's risk of developing breast cancer. In fact, one study showed that obese women (BMI >30) had a 31 percent greater risk of developing breast cancer compared to women of healthy body weight (BMI < 25). Why? Excess weight may lead to elevated levels of the hormone estrogen, which may be involved in the development of breast cancer.

Exercise regularly
One study showed that women who engaged in strenuous recreational activity for more than six hours a week had a 23 percent reduction in risk of breast cancer. Other studies indicate that anywhere from five to seven hours per week decreases risk. Even active housework has been shown to reduce your risk!

Watch the amount and type of fat you eat
Research suggests that greater total fat consumption (about 40 percent or more of daily calories) poses a greater risk for breast cancer than lower total fat consumption (about 20 percent of daily calories). With that in mind, try to limit total fat intake to less than 30 percent of daily calories in order to help in the prevention of breast cancer.

Saturated fats found in marbled meat and high-fat dairy products are more likely to increase risk of breast cancer than unsaturated fats found in nuts, seeds and avocados, as well as olive and canola oils. Try to limit saturated fat intake to less than 7 percent of total daily calories (if you’re following a 2,000-calorie diet, that’s no more than 15 grams).

1. Maintain a healthy body weight (BMI less than 25) throughout your life.
Weight gain in midlife, independent of BMI, has been shown to significantly increase breast cancer risk. Additionally, and elevated BMI has been conclusively shown to increase the risk of post-menopausal breast cancer.

2. Minimize or avoid alcohol.
Alcohol use is the most well established dietary risk factor for breast cancer. The Harvard Nurses' Health study, along with several others, has shown consuming more than one alcoholic beverage a day can increase breast cancer risk by as much as 20-25 percent.

3. Consume as many fruits and vegetables as possible.
Eat seven or more servings daily. The superstars for breast cancer protection include all cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, cauliflower) ; dark leafy greens (collards, kale, spinach) ; carrots and tomatoes. The superstar fruits include citrus, berries and cherries.

4. Exercise regularly the rest of your life.
Many studies have shown that regular exercise provides powerful protection against breast cancer. Aim for 30 minutes or more of moderate aerobic activity (brisk walking) five or more days a week. Consistency and duration, not intensity, are key!

5. Do your fats right!
The type of fat in your diet can affect your breast cancer risk. Minimize consumption of omega-6 fats (sunflower, safflower, corn and cottonseed oils), saturated fats and trans fats. Maximize your intake of omega-3 fats, especially from oily fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel, sardines, lake trout and herring). Consume monounsaturated oils (canola, olive oil, nuts/seeds, avocados) as your primary fat source, as these foods have potential anticancer properties. Specifically, canola oil is a good source of omega-3 fats; extra virgin olive oil is a potent source of antioxidant polyphenols, including squalene; and nuts and seeds provide you with the cancer protective mineral, selenium.

6. Do your carbs right!
Minimize consumption of the high glycemic index, "Great White Hazards" - white flour, white rice, white potatoes, sugar and products containing them. These foods trigger hormonal changes that promote cellular growth in breast tissue. Replace these "wrong" carbs with whole grains and beans/legumes. Beans/legumes because of their high fiber and lignan content are especially special.

7. Consume whole food soy products regularly, such as tofu, tempeh, edamame, roasted soy nuts, soy milk and miso.
Only consume organic, non-GMO (genetically modified) soy. Epidemiologic studies have shown a positive association between soy consumption and reduced breast cancer risk.

8. Minimize exposure to pharmacologic estrogens and xeno-estrogens.
Do not take prescription estrogens unless medically indicated. Lifetime exposure to estrogen plays a fundamental role in the development of breast cancer. Also avoid estrogen-like compounds found in environmental pollutants, such as pesticides and industrial chemicals. Buy organic produce if you can afford it; otherwise, thoroughly wash all non-organic produce. Minimize exposure to residual hormones found in non-organic dairy products, meat and poultry.

9. Take your supplements daily.
A multivitamin, 500-1,000 mg of vitamin C in divided doses, 200-400 IUs of vitamin E as mixed tocopherols, and pharmaceutical grade fish oil. Also take 200 mcg of the mineral selenium or eat one to two Brazil nuts as an alternative. If you have a chronic medical condition or take prescription drugs, consult your physician first.

10. Maintain a positive mental outlook.
Engage in self-nurturing behaviors regularly. Develop rich, warm and mutually beneficial relationships with family and friends. Get adequate sleep (7-8 hours per night). The mind-body associations with breast cancer are significant.
