Sex, Food And Hygiene

Posted on by Posted in Food, Health And Sex, Hygiene .

Making love is not just an impulse, at least not to us humans, because of the sense of pleasure we derive from the activity. We can all agree to the fact that Sex is amazing! Perhaps one of the most amazing things we get to do in our lives. But how do you make the most out of your time in the bedroom?

For those of us who are experienced, we know that sexual performance is the thing that matters the most. Yet, only a few of us actually care about prepping ourselves up for the final act. Sex, food, and hygiene are three things that influence one another, and deviation either one can mean the difference between awesome and “meh! so ordinary” sex.

So how are the three related to one another? Let’s find out.

Sex And Food

We know that food plays an incredible role in shaping up our sex lives, practicing healthy eating is now more important than ever. Sure, nobody is forbidding you from having the occasional run down to McDonald’s or Burger King, but your regular diet should be complete of foods that have plenty of nutrition value.

Seafood, leafy green veggies, meat and eggs, fresh fruits, nuts and berries, and fishes like salmon should be a part of everyone’s diet. Not only do these foodstuffs contain vital nutrients to keep you sexually fit, but also improve overall cardiovascular health.

Eating healthy prepares your body enough to combat the causes of sexual illnesses like low libido, erectile dysfunction, and inadequate sexual performance. Herbs and supplements like horny goat weed are known to help alleviate sexual dysfunctions, so including them in your diet is a must. Check online in case you’re wondering where to buy horny goat weed.

Sex And Hygiene

It goes without saying that one must practice basic hygiene habits to be even considered worthy of having sex. But, as you might know, but not like to admit, hygiene goes far beyond drenching yourself with a body spray. From regular showers to trimming your nails and hair in your private areas, basic hygiene covers a lot of ground. And there are several very common mistakes people do.

For both men and women, washing the genitals before and after having intercourse can mean the difference between an enjoyable experience and an infection. Our private areas contain a lot of germs that can be transferred to our partner if we’re not mindful of maintaining good hygiene.

Some of the things you can do to stay safe are change condoms when switching between vaginal and anal sex, take a leak before and after having sex, use lukewarm water to wash the private areas, and of course talk about your sexual kinks and fantasies well in advance. It’s safe to say that good hygiene is an aphrodisiac like no other.

How Do I Get Started?

It’s easy; you just throw out all the junk and leftover food in the garbage bin and start eating healthy. For hygiene, regular showers, proper grooming, and safe sex practices are enough. This is not rocket science, people! These are just simple day-to-day activities you can do to change your sex life for good.

Survey

Here is a survey to help us get an idea of how often people are cleaning their stuff. It is both useful for us but it also gives you an idea of where on the scale you lie, if you need to clean more, if you are in the clear or if you are a stickler.

Let’s begin!

1. How often do you vacuum?

2. How often do you dry clean?

5 Everyday Things That Make Us Sick

Posted on by Posted in Hygiene .
Viruses don’t have the ability to sustain life on their own. Instead, they have to find a host cell to attach to, and when a living thing is exposed to a virus this attachment is made. Viruses can live on various surfaces and be spread through daily habits like rubbing your eyes, touching your face, or biting your nails. Five of the most common places viruses live are your cell phone, women’s purses, office keyboards, shower curtains, and remote controls.Keyboards
Keyboards have been found to carry 5 times the amount of bacteria found on a door handle or in a toilet bowl. The main cause of germ infected keyboards stems from individuals eating lunch at their desks because the food deposits influence the development of bacteria.

 

Cell phones

Although cell phones have become an essential part of daily life, many people don’t realize how many dangerous diseases their cell phones carry. The average phone carries 18 times more bacteria than a toilet bowl. Germs can multiply in warm places and the heat your phone generates on its own, as well as through the face and hand contact, makes your phone a great place for viruses to live. It’s not just your phone you need to watch out for; 30% of viruses make it to your fingertips by touching someone else’s phone.

 

Remote Control
Viruses can live on remote controls from anywhere between a few days to a few months. One of the contributing factors to longer lasting bacteria takes place in homes where individuals eat oily snacks like pop-corn or potato chips while watching television. The oil deposits on the remote offers the virus protection. In a study done by the University of Virginia 50% of remotes were found contaminated with the rhinovirus, which is a germ, that causes the common cold.

 

Purses
It’s rare that you will ever come across a woman who doesn’t carry a purse with her everywhere. The bottom of a woman’s purse has been found to carry not hundreds, or thousands, but tens of thousands germs. The bacterium that’s been found on the bottom of purses is fecal bacteria, which is similar to the bacteria found on the floor of a public restroom.

 

Shower Curtains
The last commonly used object that acts as a carrier for potentially dangerous viruses is the shower curtain. Mold, mildew, and soap scum can be found living in shower curtains if they aren’t cleaned often enough or properly. If these films are found and developed on shower curtains that can cause infections such as Sphingomonas and Methylobacteruim. One of their dangerous contributing factors is the shower spray can cause germs to take flight.

Although this information may be scary, it’s important to know how often you’re in contact with dangerous diseases. Take the proper precautions from viruses spreading by cleaning regularly.

5 Dirty Secrets Revealed

Posted on by Posted in Hygiene .

We are all striving to be greener, healthier, faster, stronger, etc. However, while we have been tackling many of the bigger hurdles like: buying more organic foods and recycling, we have not been paying attention to the little things. Some of our most common routines are full of hidden germs, and we simply dont think about it. Here are five common, day-to-day dirty activities that we need to be more aware of.

1. Bag Full of Dirty Tricks

The recyclable bags we use for groceries, so that we will stay away from paper and plastic and inevitably help the environment, come with their own price. There you are, in line at Whole Foods, feeling fabulous with you organic chicken and green save the world tote, and there you are again the next week with a bunch of produce just sitting in the nasty germs left from the raw chicken the week before. Dont be a victim of this oversight. The best thing to do is wash your tote with the laundry. If you tend to go to the grocery more than once a week try separating your bags, a few specifically for meat and poultry and another for produce and other goods.

2. Germs Gone Mobile

Theres an app for that and it is called sanitizing wipes. Your cell phone carries more germs than the flush handle on a toilet, and we have them in our hands constantly and more importantly while we are handling food. While you are texting a friend at lunch and then pick up your sandwich, millions of germs are being transported into your body. If you are going to manage your phone while cooking or eating, carry a travel pack of sanitizing wipes with you to help keep you from spreading the germs.

3. A Germ In Clean Clothing

Oh the life of a sponge, it is short. Bacteria literally eats away at a sponge. Notice the holes of the back of your sponge, after a couple of washes, if you notice that the holes are considerable bigger then it is time to throw it out. When we continue to use the same sponge for several washes, we might as well just not wash the dishes at all, honestly we would probably be better off. An old sponge carries Salmonella, and E. Coli, among other bacteria. You should usually dispose of your sponge after about two weeks depending on how often you use it, and to help keep germs at bay during this time: soak the sponge in bleach for 2 to 3 minutes after each use.

4. Bacteria To Go

Fast food is a fast way to eat after your kids soccer game and a fast way for your child to pick up a lot of bacteria. When you go through the drive-through and eat in the car on the way home, you have not been able to wash your hands before eating, which is very similar to the issue with the cell phone, you are putting it right into your body. The best solution for this is to carry liquid hand sanitizer and apply before eating.

5. The Raw And Meaty Truth

When preparing meat, most know that there are a few things you need to do to prevent the spread of Salmonella and E. Coli, such as: wiping down the counters, washing hands, etc. This is another reason to have sanitizing wipes, so you can wipe down everything that you may have unknowingly come in contact with: the handle on the oven, the microwave door, the sink spout, and the bottle of liquid soap. These are not thing we usually think about. The best way to do this is to be extremely conscious of what you are handling while preparing the meat or poultry.
