That ringing in your pocket might turn out to be a death knell for your sperm, says a review published online in the Journal of Andrology that examined the links between cell phone radiation and your swimmers.
Researchers throughout the U.S. and the world have looked at the impact of your mobile phone’s electromagnetic frequency (EMF) radiation on sperm, and the results—though not yet conclusive—present a compelling case that cell phones damage sperm quality, says the Italian review.

I will never look at my cellphone the same again…I think I’ll just have to divorce my trusty ol’ mobile phone. At any rate, what about females do cellphones destroy their eggs?

Marriage and Divorce Trigger Weight Gain:
Marriage Leads to Weight Gain for Women, Divorce Prompts Gain in Men
Marriage and divorce may trigger weight gainin men and women for very different reasons.
A new study shows marriage often prompts weight gain in women, while divorce is often the time when men pile on the pounds.
This weight gain is not as frequent in younger people, but researchers say the effects may pose a health risk later in life when people settle into certain patterns of physical activity and diet.
“Both marriages and divorces increase the risk of weight changes from about age 30 to 50, and the effect is stronger at later ages,” researcher Dmitry Tumin, a doctoral student in sociology at Ohio State University, says in a news release. “As you get older, having a sudden change in your life like a marriage or a divorce is a bigger shock than it would have been when you were younger, and that can really impact your weight.”

My Comments:
I am not one to make much about what people should do with themselves or their bodies for that matter. I find obesity to be a problem, not just to the individual, but society in general. It is not just about civil or individual rights to carry around huge amounts of body mass, it eventually becomes a problem to society as these people age and develop medical problems cause by their overweight-ness. That aside…I find this article very telling. Anecdotally it is very true; I see very many women carrying around huge amounts of unheathy fat that is not just unsightly, it is downright unhealthy as well. Yes, there are lot a fat guys out there in the same condition, but I quickly admit a guy-bias…I don’t notice much about other guys (and no…it is not homophobia).   I think most married couples get too lax and comfortable with each other…they stop eating properly, they eat out too often, they don’t staying active, and before you know it their body mass skyrockets.  Bottomline – watch what you eating and stay active…that’s it.

Strategies for Happiness: 7 Steps to Becoming a Happier Person
A popular greeting card attributes this quote to Henry David Thoreau: “Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.”
With all due respect to the author of Walden, that just isn’t so, according to a growing number of psychologists. You can choose to be happy, they say. You can chase down that elusive butterfly and get it to sit on your shoulder. How? In part, by simply making the effort to monitor the workings of your mind.
Research has shown that your talent for happiness is, to a large degree, determined by your genes. Psychology professor David T. Lykken, author of Happiness: Its Nature and Nurture, says that “trying to be happier is like trying to be taller.” We each have a “happiness set point,” he argues, and move away from it only slightly.
And yet, psychologists who study happiness — including Lykken — believe we can pursue happiness. We can do this by thwarting negative emotions such as pessimism, resentment, and anger. And we can foster positive emotions, such as empathy, serenity, and especially gratitude.

This is a pretty good read that I ran across at WebMD. Â I also found another article titled – “3 Tips for Being Happy” that was also ok. Â I included the links below to both. I believe that happiness is important to fully experience life, no less than love. Â I am not sure if I believe in a happiness gene, but then again, since there are or might be genes that controls depression, a similar gene might control how good or bad / happy or sad one feels toward stimuli in the environment. Â This is a pretty interesting topic.

Up until you’re 21, you’re told that drinking alcohol is bad. Then you’re suddenly told that, really, it’s drinking alcohol and driving that’s bad. The latter is definitely true. But the former? Scientists aren’t so sure.
Case in point: During a five-year period, lifetime alcohol abstainers were 19 percent more likely to die than regular drinkers—defined as having one or two drinks, three or more days a week—say Virginia Tech University researchers.
Those who never touched the bottle were also roughly 56 percent (!) more likely to experience coronary heart disease than regular drinkers, found the scientists, who crunched data from a government survey of nearly half a million Americans.

This is awesome news. I always felt good after drinking beers, but it’s great to know that it’s good for you. The only thing that sucks is that you have to stop at only two.

I ran across this image a few days ago while looking for a feature image for a posting here at my site. Â I was simply amazed to see the difference that the form of body can play upon the eyes. Â Now, the before picture seen in isolation would probably not come across as too much out of the ordinary. Â For some, it would be – heh! she has a few folds, slightly on the heavy side, but not bad.
When placed next to the more toned body, the differences teases the eyes a bit more and does highlight a more improve shape that ultimately is a bit more pleasing to look at.
am just sayin’!

A new study finds that people who chew their food more take in fewer calories, which may help them control their weight.
Chewing food 40 times instead of a typical 15 times caused study participants to eat nearly 12 percent fewer calories, according to results published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Jie Li and colleagues from Harbin Medical University in China gave a typical breakfast to 14 obese young men and 16 young men of normal weight to see if there were differences in how they chewed their food. The researchers also looked to see whether chewing more would lead subjects to eat less and would affect levels of blood sugar or certain hormones that regulate appetite.
