Sex for Good Health

Is Sex Necessary for Good Health ?   Fans of abstinence had better be sitting down. ”Saving yourself” before the big game, the big business deal, the big hoedown or the big bakeoff may indeed confer some moral benefit. But corporeally it does absolutely zip. There’s no evidence it sharpens your competitive edge. The best that modern science can say for sexual abstinence is that it’s harmless when practiced in moderation. Having regular and enthusiastic sex, by contrast, confers a host of measurable physiological advantages, be you male or female. (This assumes that you are engaging in sex without contracting a sexually transmitted disease.) In one of the most credible studies correlating overall health with sexual frequency, Queens University in Belfast, Northern Ireland, tracked the mortality of about 1,000 middle-aged men over the course of a decade. The study was designed to compare persons of comparable circumstances, age and health. Its findings, published in 1997 in the [...]

Plantar fasciitis Plantar fasciitis   Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the thick tissue on the bottom of the foot. This tissue is called the plantar fascia. It connects the heel bone to the toes and creates the arch of the foot. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Plantar fasciitis occurs when the thick band of tissue on the bottom of the foot is overstretched or overused. This can be painful and make walking more difficult. Risk factors for plantar fasciitis include: Foot arch problems (both flat feet and high arches) Obesity or sudden weight gain Long-distance running, especially running downhill or on uneven surfaces Sudden weight gain Tight Achilles tendon (the tendon connecting the calf muscles to the heel) Shoes with poor arch support or soft soles Plantar fasciitis most often affects active men ages 40 – 70. It is one of the most common orthopedic complaints relating to the foot. Plantar fasciitis is commonly thought of as being caused by a heel spur, but research [...]

Ottawa says 6,800 exposed to infection risk   Ottawa Public Health says it will send letters to nearly 7,000 people who had procedures at a local medical facility to warn them they may have been exposed to Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV. Stressing that he is not aware of any people who have become ill, Ottawa’s medical officer of health Isra Levy said the letters are being sent so people can be made aware of the risk. “Even though the risk of infection to those who had the procedures related to this issue is very low, I wanted to ensure that affected patients are made aware of the situation, so they can consider being tested for these infections,” said Levy, at a hastily called news conference on Saturday afternoon. Ottawa Public Health said it has been investigating an unnamed non-hospital facility for the past several months because of “lapses in infection control.” Because OPH doesn’t know exactly when the lapse started, the 6,800 patients [...]

Health is the level of functional and (or) metabolic efficiency of a living being. In humans, it is the general condition of a person in mind, body and spirit, usually meaning to being free from illness, injury or pain (as in “good health” or “healthy”). [1] The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its broader sense in 1946 as “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”[2][3] Although this definition has been subject to controversy, in particular as having a lack of operational value and the problem created by use of the word “complete”, it remains the most enduring.[4] [5] Classification systems such as the WHO Family of International Classifications, including the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), are commonly used to define and measure the components of health. The maintenance [...]
