Sex not only make you feel good, sex is also good for the heart. The findings are published in the American Journal of Cardiology says that men with low frequency of sexual activity at greater risk of experiencing heart disease.

Men who reported sexual activity once a month or less have an increased risk of heart disease higher than men who reported intercourse twice or more a week.

Previous studies, bright researchers Susan A. Hall, PhD from the New England Research Institutes, has examined the relationship between erectile dysfunction and heart disease. But, this is the first study to look at the relationship between frequency of sexual activity and heart disease, irrespective of erectile dysfunction.

Hall and his friends to analyze the man who took part in the Massachusetts Male Aging Study. This study erectile dysfunction study and other variables of sexual function, such as libido.

The study involved 1165 men (average age 50) with no history of cardiovascular disease (such as heart disease, stroke, arterial disease) at the beginning of the study. Approximately 213 participants suffering from erectile dysfunction at the beginning of the study. The participants followed for 16 years.

Researchers found an increased risk of cardiovascular disease often with a reduction in the frequency of sexual activity.

Men who reported sexual intercourse two to three times a week 45 percent risk of experiencing lower cardiovascular disease than men who only perform once or less a month sexual relationship. These findings have been taking into account other factors, such as age and erectile dysfunction.

“Results show that the low frequency of sexual activity can predict cardiovascular disease, apart from erectile dysfunction,” explained the researcher, as quoted by WebMD site.

Researchers also saw the role of sexual desire and ability to perform a sexual activity as a risk factor affecting the heart. “Men who are sexually active tend to have a libido and able to perform physical activity. Thus, the ability to have sex is one pemanda general health

Not a sports shoe is no longer a reason for not doing physical activity, especially running. The reason, recent studies revealed that running barefoot is much better actually.

Run barefoot common in some areas in Africa. Almost 50 years ago, Olympic gold medalist Abebe Bikila won his first marathon barefoot. Was in the 1980s, the South African runner Zola Budd into the path barefoot.

Recently, researchers found that people who run barefoot tend to land with the ball (where the union of the toes with the feet) or in bagain feet. In this way, the runners did not shake the bones.

But, those who run with shoes tend to land on the heel. Landing like this will send a painful shock waves throughout the body.

Researchers from Harvard University and Glasgow University to analyze the style of athletes running, both wearing running shoes or bare feet.

Results showed that about 75 percent of runners who land on your heel shoes. This means that runners heels hit the ground 1,000 times per mile. This creates a huge impact pressure and sudden.

Are those who tend barefoot landing with elastic step forward toward the feet. They are leaning more toward the toes and landed with a lighter step.

These findings, bright researchers, helps explain why many runners the world with high endurance running very well with bare feet.

“The man who ran barefoot landing in a different way,” said study leader Dr Daniel Lieberman, professor of evolutionary human biology from Harvard as quoted dailymail site.

Most of the people, the light Lieberman, thinks that running barefoot is dangerous and trigger pain. In fact, you can run barefoot on the surface of the hardest painlessly.

“All you need is a little thickening of the skin. Furthermore, the risk of injury will be less than the running shoes,” explained Lieberman. source media Indonesia

Dengue fever generally attacks the body’s immune decline. Actually when we are exposed to dengue infection, the body will produce immunity against the types of dengue virus, this immunity will last a lifetime. Unfortunately, dengue fever is caused by many strains or types of the virus so that even though we are immune to one type, but we can still suffer from dengue fever from other types of viruses.

Dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue is dengue fever with a more severe degree. The main difference is in the dengue fever was not found in patients with bleeding manifestations. In the skin of patients with dengue fever, red rash just looking around while on dengue hemorrhagic fever patients will look the spots bleeding spots. In addition to bleeding in the skin, dengue haemorrhagic fever sufferers may also experience bleeding from the gums, nose, intestines and more. If not treated immediately, dengue haemorrhagic fever can cause death.

Which areas vulnerable dengue fever?

Contracted dengue fever in many tropical and subtropical regions. Asia ranks first in the number of dengue fever sufferers each year. This is probably due to rainfall in Asia, which is very high, especially in east Asia and south combined with environmental sanitation is not good.
