The Best Health Tips in Life are Free
Boys Night Out
Worried about having heart attacks as you get on in years? Then keep having (no-stakes) poker night with the guys, even if you can’t play as you used to. A Harvard school of public health study found that men in their seventies who had full social calendars also had less than half the blood levels of heart-damage markers compared to less socially integrated peers.
A Deep Breath
A study in Health Psychology found that healthy young adults with higher levels of hostility had lower lung function. The researchers think that the impairment accumulates gradually over the years to take its, toll on health. Take a deep breath and count to 10 the next time the copier jams, and you’ll breathe easier – and a lot longer.
Sunshine
A recent study led by researchers from the Harvard school of public health found that men who had low levels of vitamin D were twice as likely to have heart attacks as those who received higher levels of the ‘sunshine vitamin’.
Masturbation
A 2004 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that men who ejaculated 21 or more times a month were 33% less likely to develop prostate cancer. It appears that regularly evacuating your system may keep cancer causing chemicals from building up in your prostate.
Sex
You don’t have to take matters into your own hands to reap the benefits of ejaculation. Researches from Wilkes University links having sex once or twice a week with higher levels of immunoglobulin A, an antibody that protects against colds and other infections.
Sleep
Stanford researchers found that, in people who sleep less than eight hours a day, body mass index was inversely proportional to sleep duration. In other words, short sleepers were more likely to be fat guys. Short sleep was also associated with lower levels of leptin (a hormone that suppresses appetite) and higher levels of ghrelin (a chemical that stimulates it). It’s not like being a werewolf, but stinting on your sleep could turn you into a ravenous beast.
Jumping Jacks
If you’re now worried about raiding the fridge during your sleepless nights, here’s a free solution. A session of aerobic exercise increases total sleep by 21% over people who do heavy aerobics and moderate strength exercises.
Love Handles
Visceral fat wrapped around your organs poses health risks, but subcutaneous fat may have more use than, just a little something to grab on to. In a Harvard study, subcutaneous fat transplanted into the abdominal cavities of mice decreased their body weight, fat mass and insulin and blood sugar levels. The researchers suggest that, certain hormones produced by subcutaneous fat may improve metabolism.

Best way of getting Pregnant without sex in the UK?
I say UK because it’s free health care generally! haha.
Basically, me and my friend both desperately want a baby, We are going to have this baby and raise it as the good friends we are. I know she’ll be a good mother like I know I’ll be a good father, I feel as if it is my role in life.
I’m 16 and she’s 17, So what’s the best way to get pregnant without having sex (we don’t want to have sex because we’re such good friends, it will feel far too weird)
We planned using a needle-less syringe to insert the sperm in, Starting on saturday (next ovulation) but I heard it had low success rates?
So what else can we try? Any tips on the syringe-method, What about IVF? Will our age stop us?
Thank you so much (: x

The last thing this world is another baby. Millions are already dying and in desperate need of parents. Thousands have already died this week. Please adopt, don’t have a child. Why would you raise a kid if you’re not a couple? This is so strange!

Your quite young to be taking on something with such big responsibilities. You need to live your life first before you plan to have children! Then maybe one day when you’ve settled down with the right people you’ll both be wonderful parents! Good luck what ever you decide

If you think having sex is too wierd then how are you going to bring up a child together? With IVF you will be told that you must try the natural way for at least a year so no good for you.

wow, uh ok you have to be joking… right?
First of all, i can say from experience having a child at 16 is NOT easy, i got pregnant at 16 and dropped out of school. Now i am struggling to even find a job.
OOOOOKKK, if you think having sex is going to mess up your friendship— A BABY WILL DEFINITELY do that. A baby changes everything in a relationship. PLEASE wait to have a baby until you have finished school, grown up, and lived your life!!
