Bad Gums Linked to Erectile Dysfunction

Bad breath and bleeding gums are not sexy. But periodontitis, an inflammation or infection of the gums, may hamper your sex life in another way: It may be a cause of erectile dysfunction, a new study suggests. So brush floss and gurgle.

followers, i need your help! i managed to convince my friends to go out for sushi instead of much more fattening fish & chips. however, i still need advice! what are my best options for a filling but relatively low cal dinner at a japanese restaurant?!?

We did LOTS of swimming, according to my MyFitnessPal about 700!!!!! WOW in 2 hours. There was so much waves and it was just fun! I even wore a bathing suit!!! with a dress cover for part :P

First, we changed and I took a picture of myself :)

Then we got down to the beach, sooo nice out too,

Then we swam and Shaun and I had my sister take a pic of us :)

THEN I had my sister take a picture of me in JUST my bathing suit (JUST FOR YOU GUYS)

Then finally my sister and I went in the Hurricane Simulator :)

Overall, they day was amazing and Shaun and I plan on going back OFTEN this summer, now that he knows he likes swimming and the beach :)

OMG I’ve lost SO much weight since then! wowza!

Snack: clover leaf dill and lemon tuna.

Ok. This was disgusting. Note to self: don’t try all flavors.

I ate it all because protein is protein. I needed protein in my diet.

ouch, but yay!

So I am working right now, okay maybe not, or maybe I AM!

So I have created a Tumblr for the gym i work at and I think you would love to follow it!

http://humanatease.tumblr.com/

It really is awesome helping to promote a business or even better to promote fitness!

My grammar maybe really lousy today and I am also not sure why that is. All I can say is that i am really excited about strength training lately and it gets worse everyday I work because I may do a couple of pull-ups and get one more every time I try just teasing me to get just one more.

I need to definitely start getting into more advanced routines and move along…..

So what advanced techniques should I do?

Praise the Lord! That’s wonderful news. God is so good and full of mercy. God bless your heart, Lee!

No more Food Pyramid?! That’s right. FDA announces new diagram for nutrition: http://ow.ly/58ygk health nutrition

Today there are so many things that are made out of plastic and many things that we eat and drink come in plastic packaging. The increased awareness of the harmful chemicals in plastics is causing concern and it is important to understand which plastics are safe and harmful. So, how do we determine which are the safe plastics and which ones we should try not to use? It is important to understand the types of plastics. All plastics are identified by a code numbered 1 through 7 that is typically located on the bottom of the packaging with the famous recycling triangle around it. The next time you use plastic (or buy canned food for your bomb shelter), pay attention to the following numbers to know what to avoid:

1 Polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PETE) Used to make soft drink, water, sports drink, ketchup, salad dressing bottles, peanut butter, pickle, jelly and jam jars.
BAD: Due to antimony leaching although many sources will say it is ok for one time use.

2 High density polyethylene (HDPE) Milk, water, and juice bottles, yogurt and margarine tubs, cereal box liners, and grocery, trash, and retail bags.
GOOD: Not known to leach any chemicals that are suspected of causing cancer or disrupting hormones.

3 Polyvinyl chloride (V or PVC) Most cling-wrapped meats, cheeses, and other foods sold in delicatessens and groceries are wrapped in PVC.
BAD: To soften into its flexible form, manufacturers add “plasticizers” during production. Traces of these chemicals can leach out of PVC when in contact with foods. According to the National Institutes of Health, di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), commonly found in PVC, is a suspected human carcinogen.

4 Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) Some bread and frozen food bags and squeezable bottles.
OK: Not known to leach any chemicals that are suspected of causing cancer or disrupting hormones, but not as widely recycled as #1 or #2.

5 Polypropylene (PP) Some ketchup bottles and yogurt and margarine tubs.
OK: Hazardous during production, but not known to leach any chemicals that are suspected of causing cancer or disrupting hormones. Not as widely recycled as #1 and #2.

6 Polystyrene (PS) Foam insulation and also for hard applications (e.g. cups, some toys)
BAD: Benzene (material used in production) is a known human carcinogen. Butadiene and styrene (the basic building block of the plastic) are suspected carcinogens. Energy intensive and poor recycling.

7 Other (usually polycarbonate) Baby bottles, microwave ovenware, eating utensils, plastic coating for metal cans.
BAD: Made with biphenyl-A, a chemical invented in the 1930s in search for synthetic estrogens. A hormone disruptor. Simulates the action of estrogen when tested in human breast cancer studies. Can leach into food as product ages.

For any of the newbs out there just getting started on their vegetarian/vegan diet, these things are easily attainable, easy to prepare with a few other ingredients, and good for you too ;)

Jumping rope is not just for kids. In fact, it is one of the most complete, overall workouts that burns more calories per minute than most other forms of exercise, including running.

It can be done just about anywhere without anything more than a good jump rope and cross training shoes. If you’re looking to rev up your exercise program, consider adding a couple of days or jumping rope to your regime.

When does it get easier!?

I am attempting to start running regularly for the first time in my life. I was always apprehensive about this because of some creaky knees and minor pain that I experience when doing high impact cardio/dance. But now that my boyfriend (read: bone and joint guru) has assured me that the more I use my leg muscles, the less knee pain/crackling I’ll endure, I’m all for giving it a shot.

I finally bought some new shoes, and have tried to run 3-4x a week, but am finding it difficult to fit it into my regular routine since I’m already taking bootcamp 3 nights a week. I’ve managed to squeeze in some runs on my lunch break now and then, but then I either have to run home and shower and get back to work, or just be gross and sweaty the rest of the day - which is disgusting.

Also, I feel like I should be getting better at this after a couple weeks. I started barely being able to run a mile on the treadmill - which was shocking, considering I thought I was fairly in shape. Now I can run at least 2 miles and still be comfortable. But then, I come home and take a jog around the neighborhood, and am dying by the time I get to one mile. ONE MILE!? Come on. Pathetic.

I need some guidance/education/inspiration. What are some good resources out there? Anyone have any advice?

A Suri tribal donga, or stick fight, is a mixture of martial arts, ritual and sport. The idea is that 20 - 30 fighters amass on each side, and then take turns in one-on-one combat. Traditionally, the donga is for young men to prove themselves worthy husband material to the women.
