What is Male Pattern Baldness?
Male pattern baldness, also called androgenetic alopecia, is the most common type of hair loss in men. At some point in their lives, up to 50 percent of all men will be affected by male pattern baldness to some extent.
What Causes Male Pattern Baldness?
Male pattern baldness is both genetic, and associated with the male sex hormones called androgens. Androgens have many functions, one of which is to regulate hair growth.

Each strand of your hair grows out of a little hole in your skin called a follicle. Normally, an individual strand of hair grows for two to six years, goes through a resting stage for several months, falls out, and is replaced by a new hair strand. With male pattern baldness, the hair follicle becomes smaller. It grows shorter and finer strands, and eventually stops growing hair altogether.

The common cause of male pattern baldness—heredity—is usually harmless. However, sometimes it has more serious causes, such as certain cancers, medications, thyroid conditions, and anabolic steroids. See your..Contd

Having a large butt is both a blessing and a curse.

There are plenty of things to enjoy about having a big booty -- who doesn't love curves? You have your own built-in padding, which means hard chairs are no issue and you'll never have to pay for one of those special gel seats at spin class. The "bend and snap" is your signature move, and shaking that thing can sometimes convince people you actually know how to dance.

But with a large butt comes great responsibility. Here are 19 issues you may have faced if endowed with a generous behind:

1. Men on the street have asked if they can use your derriere as a pillow. (They most certainly may not.)

2. Your dresses are three inches longer in the front than they are in the back.

3. Strangers have asked you for your squat routine.

4. You have to leave the bar when “Baby Got Back” comes on. Or "Bootylicious." Or "Miss New Booty."  Contd

1.Avoid the sun.
It's the No. 1 cause of wrinkles, with dozens of studies documenting the impact. In one study that looked at identical twins, New York plastic surgeon Darrick Antell, MD, found sun exposure was even more important than heredity. Siblings who limited sun time had fewer wrinkles and looked younger overall than their sun-worshiping twins.
2.Wear sunscreen.
If you must go out in the sun, the American Academy of Dermatology says, wear sunscreen! It will protect you from skin cancer, and help prevent wrinkles at the same time.
3. Don't smoke.
Some of the research is still controversial, but more and more studies are confirming that cigarette smoke ages skin -- mostly by releasing an enzyme that breaks down collagen and elastin, important components of the skin. Sibling studies done at the Twin Research Unit at St. Thomas Hospital in London found the brother or sister who smoked tended to have skin that was more wrinkled and up to 40% thinner than the non-smoker.
4. Get adequate sleep.
Yale dermatologist Nicholas Perricone, MD, says that when you don't get enough sleep, the body produces excess cortisol, a hormone that breaks down skin cells. Get enough rest, Perricone says, and you'll produce more HGH (human growth hormone), which helps skin remain thick, more "elastic," and less likely to wrinkle.
5. Sleep on your back.
The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) cautions that sleeping in certain positions night after night leads to "sleep lines -- wrinkles that become etched into the surface of the skin and don't disappear once you're up. Sleeping on your side increases wrinkles on cheeks and chin, while sleeping face-down gives you a furrowed brow. To reduce wrinkle formation, the AAD says, sleep on your back.
6. Don't squint -- get reading glasses!
The AAD says any repetitive facial movement -- like squinting -- overworks facial muscles, forming a groove beneath the skin's surface. This groove eventually becomes a wrinkle. Also important: Wear sunglasses. It will protect skin around the eyes from sun damage -- and further keep you from squinting.Contd

Historically, masturbation has gotten a bad rap, but a party for one is still a party. And this is one party you'll actually feel better after attending. Masturbation has some awesome health benefits and feels really really good.

Research shows most women over the age of 18 have masturbated at least once, but few women do so routinely. According to Indiana University's National Survey Of segxwal Health And Behavior, only 7.9 percent of women between the ages of 25 and 29 masturbate two to three times a week whereas 23.4 percent of men do. C'mon ladies, we deserve better than that.

Masturbation is a normal, enjoyable and healthy experience. It's time to put the taboo subject of women and masturbation to bed and realize a little menage a moi might be exactly what you need.

The Huffington Post spoke with Dr. Lauren Streicher, an Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Northwestern University and author of Sex Rx: Hormones Health And Your Best Sex Ever, about the health benefits of masturbation. She said that masturbation can benefit your health by helping you sleep, relieving stress and simply being more comfortable with your body. She also noted that, similar to working out or getting a massage, self-stimulation is a great way for you to relax both emotionally and physically. Instead of buying an expensive massage, you can just stay in and give yourself one.

So, dim the lights, burn some candles and hop into bed (or whatever your routine may be) -- it's time to partake in a little self exploration. Here are 13 reasons every woman should masturbate on the reg:
1. It makes you happier.
“We know that pleasure makes people feel good," Streicher said. It's really that simple. Orgasms release the endorphins dopamine and oxytocin, which can improve your mood and create a natural high. Who needs drugs when you can make your own?
2. You become more comfortable with your body.
Your body should be your best friend -- it's one of the only things that will be with you your entire life. And part of becoming besties with your body includes exploring it. “It is extremely important that women have an appreciation of their own anatomy and how to self-pleasure,” Streicher said. Time to hit the books, ladies.
3. It can improve your sex life.
Masturbation allows you to explore your body and find out what feels best. Knowing your body in this way can make you more confident in bed and more vocal with partners. Once you figure out what you like, you can tell your partner where to touch you.
4. It helps you sleep.
There's a reason most of us feel so sleepy after those toe-curling climaxes: Orgasms physically and emotionally relieve tension and exhaust the body, which allow you to fall asleep quicker. “Generally people do sleep better after masturbating, but very often it’s from feeling relaxed and satisfied," Streicher said...Contd

Women are more prone to health risk than men. They need to take extra care. The earlier they learn natural health tips for women, the more it is better for them. Women have manifold responsibilities, such as, full time job, taking care of children and household chores. Besides these responsibilities, women go through pregnancy, hormonal changes, menopause phase. All these affect women’s health and looks. Here are natural health tips for women by following which they can not only maintain their good health but good looks also.
Women need extra health care:

1. Avoid stress:
The more you avoid stress, better it is for your mental and physical health.
(i) Develop a hobby.
It will divert your attention from stress and save you from having negative thoughts coming to your mind.
(ii) Get a pet.
You need to do active chores in maintaining your pets. Like walk the dog, play with cat, or clean a birdcage. These will keep you physically active and contribute in having decreased anxiety, happy mood and lower blood pressure.
(iii) Face-to-face interaction:
Social networking, like face book and e-mails are good means to keep in touch, but actually seeing people and interacting with them works as a better stress buster.
(iv) Be happy:
Happier types are less likely to fall sick.
2. Sex & Birth Control Actions:
Get yourself educated about sex and birth control measures and its side effects.

(i) Treat Orgasm as another vitamin “O”, it release hormones that contribute to your emotional well-being and boost your immune system. Schedule it as per your needs.

(ii) Avoid being unfaithful. If you are not faithful, use condoms. They don’t protect you 100% from all STDs, but they are the best.

(iii) Consult your gynecologist without any delay if you experience any abnormalities in your segxwal activities. Don’t self-diagnose, if you have any unusual sex-symptoms, such as any irregularity in menstruation cycle, consult your doctor.

(iv) You can also try Pranayama, breathing exercises and Yoga to keep yourself healthy and improve your immune system.
7. Control your weight
This is very essential to avoid many diseases and keep your self- esteem high.

Develop following healthy eating habits:

(i) Start your day by eating a big healthy breakfast… Contd

interracial dating has been one of the biggest conversations within the black community. Black men have made it no secret their liking to white women. Regina King recently raised the argument that we as black women still have not become completely comfortable dating outside our race. I recently did a survey on a group of black women regarding their reasons for not dating men who are not of color. Through my findings it seems as though black women aren’t actually opposed to dating outside of their race. Part of the dilemma lies in women of color thinking that men outside of their race won’t be attracted to them. Below are the 5 top reasons black women are apprehensive about going there with a white guy.
1. Body image
Black women are known to be naturally curvaceous. We are praised for our assets by the black men who love us. It has been known that the bigger the backside the better. The rounder the Bosom  the better. The thicker the legs the more beautiful. In the white community this has been the complete opposite. The bigger the butt, the less attractive. If your hips are too wide you’re considered fat. Thinner is usually all around better within the white community. This is naturally engrained in both African American and Caucasian people’s subconscious. Many studies show that black men prefer woman with curves and white men prefer women who are thin. After speaking to 6 black women between the ages of 25-40 most state that they believe a white man would not be attracted to them because of their voluptuous bodies.
2. Hair
Black women have been ridiculed for their hair for many many years. Chris Rock made the movie “Good Hair” that touched on many areas of what black women go through regarding their hair. If we wear it natural it’s considered nappy. If we perm it we’re considered “white washed”. If we have a weave, we aren’t happy with who we are and would really like to be a white woman. Regarding hair we just can’t seem to win. Since this is already a touchy subject in the black community, it’s obvious as to why a black woman would rather avoid the whole “hair conversation” when dating a white man. Sure most black men hate weaves but the women I surveyed expressed how a black man would understand more because he was raised by a black woman. Because of this, a black man knows all the changes his mother may have went through maintaining her hair. He is no stranger to fake hair or a pressing comb. A white man on the other hand is used to naturally unenhanced straight hair that he gets to run his fingers through. The women I surveyed said they were naturally intimidated when it came to dating a white man because of their hair.
3. Background/Education
Statistics show that Caucasians have more money, better education, better jobs and more opportunities. In the black community, we naturally have to work twice as hard and be 3 times smarter to achieve the level of success deemed to be successful. Continued

Whether you try to hide it or not, you fart. Everybody does. 
But even though it's such a routine activity — the average person farts between 10 and 20 times per day — there's a lot about farting that you might not know. 
As part of research into the microbiome — the rich community of bacteria that live throughout your body — scientists have learned all sorts of interesting things about the bacteria that produce gas inside your intestines. Here are 9 crucial things to know about flatulence.
1) You produce about 500 to 1500 milliliters of gas per day, and expel it in 10 to 20 farts
This might be more than you'd expect, but it's been measured in controlled studies. The surprisingly hefty amount is the result of bacteria that live in your colon and feed on most of the food you eat, says Purna Kashyap — a gastroenterologist at the Mayo Clinic who studies the gut microbiome.

"There are a lot of carbohydrates that we consume — mainly present in vegetables, grains, and fruits — that our bodies don't have the enzymes necessary to digest," he says. "These end up in large intestine, where microbes chew them apart and use them for energy, through the process of fermentation. As a byproduct, they produce gas."

A huge variety of foods contain these complex carbs that we can't fully digest: virtually all beans, most vegetables, and anything with whole grains. For most people, this leads to somewhere between 500 to 1500 milliliters of gas daily — the equivalent of half a two-liter bottle of soda, every single day.
2) 99 percent of the gas you produce does not smell
One of the reasons that we produce so much more gas than we realize is that nearly all of it is odorless.

Hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane make up as much as 99 percent of the gas produced in our large intestines by volume. (They're supplemented by air you swallow — more on that below.) All of these gases are odorless, which is why much of the time, farts don't actually smell at all.

The potent stink, research has found, is largely due to the 1 percent or so of compounds with sulfur in them, such as hydrogen sulfide. (This sort of research itself is pretty amazing: one experiment involved two people judging the smelliness of farts of 16 participants who'd been fed pinto beans, collected with the aid of "gas-tight Mylar pantaloons.")

Bacteria need to consume sulfur to produce sulfurous gases, and though not all foods with complex carbs contain sulfur, many do. They're mainly foods that you probably already associate with farting — things like beans, onions, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and dairy.
3) Gum and soda can make you fart more
Apart from the gases produced by bacteria, a significant proportion of your flatulence is simply made up of inadvertently swallowed air. It doesn't smell — it's mostly nitrogen and oxygen — but it sounds and feels the same coming out.

Some of this swallowing goes on while you're asleep, but it can be increased by drinking carbonated beverages (after all, you're ingesting the carbonation) and by chewing gum.
4) Farting is the result of a healthy, complex ecosystem in your intestines
Bacteroides fragilis, one of the bacteria species involved in gas production, cultured in a petri dish. (Nathan Reading)

Modern society views flatulence as a negative. This is unfortunate, because in most cases, it's the byproduct of a beautiful thing — the intricate ecosystem of bacteria living in your intestines…Continued

Nigerian health authorities have declared that the country is now Ebola free. This clean bill of health has in no small way allayed the paralyzing fear the deadly disease struck into people’s mind. While the first reported case of the disease was still making the rounds with the country, the contagion of fear that swept through the length and breadth of the country occasioned a radical conditioning of habits related to interpersonal contacts within the populace. Some of the preventive measures hastily assumed by citizens in the wake of the outbreak of the disease have, unfortunately, survived into present times. These measures, adopted out of legitimate concern for personal and public safety, were serio-comically enacted to the utter embarrassment of all those who were unintentionally made the butt of ridicule by the discriminatory actions that seemingly portrayed them as likely carrier of the dreaded Ebola virus. more at http://365merms.com/forum/4239258/Ebola+Virus-+Nigeria%27s+Experience

Ok, moment of truth: you know all the advice out there for having hot, amazing sex? Well, for any of it to work, you need to first start with a burning desire to do the deed. But the biggest complaint I get from the smart, successful women I counsel is they’re not always up for it. Daily stresses and distractions can really zap your sex drive. Read on for the solutions I’ve found that really work.
The problem: Stress overload
1. Sex-drive reset: So you’ve got so many things going on (work, kids, book club) that sex is last on your list? The solution is simply to slow down, so you can tune into your sensual side. Carving out 10 minutes at night to relax in the bath is far more likely to get you in the mood than doing chores. The irony is that sex is a natural stress reliever, so the more you have, the less frazzled you'll feel
