LOSE FAT - TRANSFORM YOUR BODY!

It is critical that we truly understand that losing the not-so-much-appreciated fat is about 90% due to nutrition and only 10% or so due to exercise. Shocking? - Well, it’s actually very easy to demonstrate. Roughly calculating, if you grab 2 slices of bread and in between put 2 slices of cheese, 1 slice of ham and some salad, then this little snack comes up to about 450 kCal of energy and maybe you don't even feel satisfied after this. And 450 kCal is about how much you'd burn in an hour with a moderate activity on a stationary bike.
So if that day you went to the gym and had a moderate 1 hour of activity, but you still ate "the regular" there is most likely not going to be any fat loss and you would most likely be rather disappointed for having no result from your weekly efforts.

GESTATIONAL SURROGACY

2011-04-27T07:00:00.000-07:00

Surrogacy involves using one woman's uterus to implant and carry the embryo and deliver the baby for another person or couple. Unlike traditional surrogacy, a gestational surrogate mother is in no way biologically related to the baby or surrogate babies she carries. The woman that carries the pregnancy is called the surrogate, "surrogate mother" or "gestational carrier". She is merely the carrier of someone else's biological child.
It is most often done utilizing IVF (in vitro fertilization) but is sometimes done with intrauterine insemination (IUI). This form of surrogacy is becoming increasingly popular, as advances in the success rates of IVF grow.

SURROGACY

2011-04-24T07:04:00.000-07:00

Surrogacy is an arrangement in which a woman carries and delivers a child for another couple or person. This woman may be the child's genetic mother (called traditional surrogacy), or she may carry the pregnancy to delivery after having an embryo, to which she has no genetic relationship, transferred to her uterus (called gestational surrogacy). Surrogacy is often seen as an alternative to adoption, although adoption may be part of the process. Surrogacy occurs when a woman who is not pregnant agrees to bear a child for another/others who will parent the child. What differentiates surrogacy from designated adoption - where pregnant and adopting parents connect with one another prior to the birth and make an adoption plan - is that the surrogate, the woman who will bear the child, is not pregnant at the time a surrogacy agreement is reached.

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is a large group of techniques and procedures which are designed to assist infertile couples who wish to have children. This medical field exploded in the 1970s, with the development of in vitro fertilization, and it becomes increasingly advanced with each year. Although various definitions have been used, ART includes all fertility treatments in which both eggs and sperm are manipulated. In general, ART involves surgically removing eggs from a woman's ovaries, combining them with sperm in the laboratory, and returning them to the woman's body or donating them to another woman.
In addition, ART is often categorized according to whether the procedure used a woman's own eggs (non-donor) or eggs from another woman (donor) and according to whether the embryos used were newly fertilized (fresh) or previously fertilized, frozen, and then thawed (frozen).
Discover all ART methods and choose the best one for you.

HOW TO MEASURE BRA SIZE

2011-02-22T06:02:00.000-08:00

Many women are surprised to learn that they’ve been wearing the wrong bra size. There are lots of reasons why women wear the wrong bra size – poor measuring skills, changes in body size, and changes in wardrobe.
Believe it or not, 80% of women wear the wrong size bra. The most common mistake is wearing a band size which is too big, and/or a cup size which is too small. You may have heard that 36C is the “average bra size”. Although the average bra size is often quoted as 36C, most people who wear this size should actually be wearing a 34D or 34DD bra. Cup sizes are relative to the band size, so a D cup, for example, is not the same size in every bra. A 32D is the same size as a 34C or 36B, but on a smaller frame. A 28F is actually 2 cup sizes smaller than a 38D. You may not think of yourself as being busty, but in moving to a smaller band size you will find that you need a bigger cup size.

Bartholin glands are small and cannot be seen or felt when they are normal. Bartholin's gland cysts and/or abscesses are commonly found in women of reproductive age (20-45 year old). According to statistics, approximately 2% of all women have Bartholin cyst. The size of the cyst could be small (0.5-3 cm) or big up to 5-10 cm in diameter. In general the Bartolin glands provide moisture for the vulva area.

Sleep and Weight Loss

2010-11-03T11:27:00.000-07:00

There is a notion among college students that sleep is not necessary, and that any missed sleep in one's youth can be recovered by "sleeping in" later in life. However, the amount of sleep a person gets directly affects how much he or she weighs.
The more sleep you get, the more growth hormone your body produces. Growth hormone maintains your body's lean muscle mass, and decreases body fat.
When people don't get enough sleep, they feel hungry all the time. The reason for this is because their bodies are not producing enough hydrocortisone.
Hydrocortisone controls a person's appetite as well as regulating glucose metabolism, blood pressure, insulin release, and immune system function.

WEIGHT LOSS - DO's and DON'Ts

2010-11-01T15:30:00.000-07:00

Do eat more often, but less quantities. This helps keep our metabolism high (this is the process of breaking down foods into energy). Having an efficient metabolism means body will use energy at a faster rate and therefore fat stores will go down.
Don't skip breakfast. The body has gone without food for many hours after you went to bed and it is in dire need of energy when you wake up. If you don't eat breakfast then: (a) your metabolism will be slow (b) you are more likely to stuff yourself at lunch and (c) you are just going against the natural way of things.
Do replace any fatty foods that you can (slowly over time) with healthier alternatives that you also enjoy. Never replace things you like with healthy things you hate, because it will not hold up for long term and will backfire.
Don't forget to drink water. If you don't drink it, the body will give you the signal of being hungry and you will end up eating for no reason. Try to keep water always near you and drink often and as much as you want (water is the only substance you can safely intake as much as you want).

Secure Days

Are women fertile whole month? Are there any secure days?
Yes, some days of the menstrual cycle are secure and each woman can make personal calculations for discovering secure days for unprotected sex.
Calculation is based on an observation that the ovulation in females takes place 2 weeks before periods. As we know that the menstrual cycles in women may not be on precise day every month, the calculation of the safe period should be done on the basis of duration of 12 previous cycles. First note down the shortest and the longest cycles during the last 12 cycles.
The first fertile day will be minus 18 days from shortest cycle.
The last fertile day would be minus 11 days from the longest cycle.

CONDOM - what we need to know about condoms

2010-10-08T12:18:00.000-07:00

Male condom is a sheath made to fit over the erect penis. It collects semen and acts as a barrier preventing passage of sperm into the vagina. The condom is available rolled in individual packets, and is unrolled onto the erect penis before intercourse. Most condoms are made of thin latex rubber. When used correctly at every act of intercourse, the condom can be a reasonably effective method of contraception. The latex condom is also an effective barrier to protect against the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STDs), including transmission of HIV/AIDS.
Female condom is made of soft pliable polyurethane pre-lubricated with a silicone-based substance (dimethicone). It is inserted into the vagina before sexual intercourse. An inner ring is used for insertion and holds the condom in place high in vagina; an outer ring lies flat and covers the labia during sexual intercourse. After ejaculation, the female condom retains the seminal fluid, preventing it from coming into contact with the cervix.
