		<title>11 Foods To Turn Your Partner On!</title>
		<link>http://www.dreamteammoney.com/index.php?showtopic=63338</link>
		<description><![CDATA[By Fox News:<br /><br />The following is a list of the ones that have, so far, proven themselves quite worthy of the "aphrodisiac" title: <br /><br /><b>1. Caffeine </b> <br />Whether in coffee, tea, sodas or chocolate, caffeine, up to a certain point, can get your motor going. <br /><br /><b>2. Honey</b> <br />Known for giving you a quick boost, sugar in its pure honey form can boost your energy. Honey also fuels sperm cells. <br /><br /><b>3. Chocolate</b> <br />Besides containing caffeine, chocolate contains two compounds believed to have sex-enhancing effects: anandamide and phenylethylamine (PEA). (PEA is a natural form of amphetamine, an antidepressant). This sweet also contains theobromine, which increases endorphin production, making for a good high. <br /><br /><b>4. Herbs</b> <br />Helping lovers relax and ease anxieties, some herbs are seen as having physical effects that can make you feel randier and increase blood flow to the genitals. Certain ones, like lemon balm, a type of mint plant that''s available in tea form, can relax the nervous system, soothing you while elevating your mood. <br /><br /><b>5. Spices</b> <br />Some spices, like cayenne pepper, can get you hot quite literally by increasing your heart rate and body temperature. Some also mirror signs of sexual arousal, like a body flush, perspiration and plumper lips. Certain spices can be consumed in capsule, tincture or concentrated drop form a half an hour before sex to boost circulation. <br /><br /><b>6. Garlic</b> <br />Because it contains allicin, garlic increases blood flow to the sexual organs, which can certainly help get things going in the bedroom. <br /><br /><b>7. L-arginine </b> <br />L-arginine is a naturally occurring amino acid that is a precursor to nitric oxide, the molecule that is responsible for promoting circulation by relaxing the blood vessels. <br /><br /><b>8. Asian Ginseng </b> <br />Commonly used to treat sexual dysfunction in males, ginseng has direct effects on the central nervous system and genital tissues. Evidence indicates the Chinese herb can facilitate erection by increasing blood flow to the penis. <br /><br /><b>9. Alcohol </b> <br />Liquor is known to help lovers feel relaxed and in the mood, in large part because people have such strong beliefs that liquor makes for libido. <br /><br /><b>10. Ambrien </b> <br />Found in the digestive tract of some sperm whales, this waxy substance is used in Arab countries, but is illegal in the U.S. Ambrien is said to increase a male's libido by increasing the concentration of several hormones, including testosterone. <br /><br /><b>11. Seafood</b> <br />Resembling female genitals, any slippery, succulent seafood is held as an aphrodisiac. Also, the word "aphrodisiac" comes from Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of beauty and love, who, like fish, comes from the sea.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Learn to fix a bike if you want to stay young, for this is one of the things that scientists have mentioned in their list of five daily activities that can help slow mental decline due to ageing. <br /><br />Other activities that can keep old age at bay are — being physically active, taking part in group events and giving up some of your time for charity, taking notice of the good things around you and learning something new.

		<title>Boost Your Bedroom Pleasures</title>
		<link>http://www.dreamteammoney.com/index.php?showtopic=62664</link>
		<description><![CDATA[During the initial stages of a relationship, when the two parties involved are just about getting to discover each other, it is usually not such a problem when it comes to having an exciting time in the bedroom. <br /><br />But, as you get familiar with each other’s bodies, the sex can get slightly monotonous and in some cases the sizzle is completely lost. However, this does not mean it’s the end of your sex life or that you can’t reignite the passion. <br /><br />Read on for tips on how you can add some serious spice to your love life: <br /><br /><b>Just met </b> <br />Pretend you and your partner have just met each other. Put yourself in a stranger’s shoes and view your partner from a new perspective. This will help you realise that he or she is still very appealing. If he or she is still getting the look from a complete stranger, it means they still have the spark. <br /><br />On your part you need to find it again. In fact, let him or her in on the role playing as well. The two of you should play a little game whereby you pretend to be strangers and it’s all you need to get that added excitement. <br /><br /><b>Tease please </b> <br />Nothing turns on a man or woman more than teasing them. This does not mean you get snide, it means you get playfully flirtatious. For example, you could sneak in little kisses or flirt with your partner while he or she is leaving for the office or do it in public where they know you’re flirting with them, but can’t do anything about it. <br /><br />The advantage of this is, they know what you have in mind and because you were teasing him or her about it, once you are alone with them, they’ll work the magic. <br /><br /><b>The mood </b> <br />If you’re in the mood to make love, do it. What happens often is that even though people might crave being with their partner , they avoid doing so because they might be busy or they feel inhibited. But the truth is, if you feel like it, go get it! <br /><br />Surprise your partner one day and steal him or her away from their duties for an hour or so. In fact, they might enjoy it so much that they would want a repeat performance once they get home. <br />]]></description>

		<title>4 Secrets Of Amazing Sex Revealed</title>
		<link>http://www.dreamteammoney.com/index.php?showtopic=62631</link>
		<description><![CDATA[The 4 Secrets of Amazing Sex’, by Georgia Foster and Beverley Anne Foster, talks about body as well as mind, when it comes to sex. <br /><br />The four secrets of amazing sex are: <br /><br /><b>Seduction</b> <br />“The first secret deals with how to sustain a heady passion with your partner. Most people assume they need to be seduced to feel sexy – wrong! We first create the desire in our own mind. It’s your responsibility to understand what turns you on. It’s about taking notice of how you are feeling – not expecting a partner to immediately trigger sexual feeling.” <br /><br /><b>Sensation</b> <br />“The second secret is all about the six senses. Absorb the energy between you and your partner, as well as remembering smell, touch, sound and taste. The six senses are often overlooked in our busy lives, but without them sex is dull.” <br /><br /><b>Surrender </b> <br />“The third secret is when you feel safe to surrender to your partner and have sex. Thanks to secrets one and two, your mind is ready and your senses alive. You need to feel you want to be there and your mind is present to feel connected to your partner.” <br /><br /><b>Reflection</b> <br />“If you’ve had fun with the first three secrets, reflection is about looking back on the experience and feeling you want to do it all again. If the experience is bad, people will look back on it negatively and may avoid a repeat performance and lack confidence.” <br /><br />]]></description>

		<title>Good Sex Everyday, Keeps Doctors Away</title>
		<link>http://www.dreamteammoney.com/index.php?showtopic=61902</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<i>"You would have never thought that a kiss could help keeping dental worries at bay or a gratifying sexual act at night make you feel fit and fresh the next morning." </i> <br /><br />Healthy sex leads to a healthy life. You may have tried copious measures to get that extra glowing skin and shiny hair. You must have also worked out rigorously to achieve that perfect ten figure you've desired. But the key to your mind and heart is fulfilling sex. Even for those who lose their temper or are always in a depressed state of mind, 'sex' can be the solution. <br /><br />A happy sexual life with your partner not only gets you in shape with better skin texture and silken tresses, it also burns extra calories, keeps you fit, combats asthma, relieves headache, reduces depression and tranquilises your mind. From make-up experts, hair stylists, sexologists and fitness connoisseurs – there's a common consensus that a vigourous sexual life leads to a healthy life – both physically and emotionally. We get them share more on this... <br /><br />There have been several notions stating that 'sex' produces certain hormones that bring happiness, which lead to a fit body and a healthy mind. Research also suggests that sex and masturbation can help ease joint and muscle pain, combat depression, promote heart health and lengthen one's life span. <br /><br />Not just this, sex also accelerates blood circulation and one's basic metabolic rate, which further enhances the well-being of our mind and soul and helps us calm down. <br /><br />A satisfying sexual relationship strengthens the bond between couples, making them feel secure and loved. The feeling of emotional connectedness adds to ones sense of belonging, which in totality helps them achieve a positive physical, psychological and spiritual state that is necessary for one's general health.<br /><br />Sex is a way of bonding at the physical, mental and emotional level and leads to health (including psychological) benefits. If it is used as a mechanical process, it may have limited benefits. There are physiological benefits of positive changes in parameters like pulse, heart rate, reduction in blood pressure (after an increase in B.P. specially if vigourous sex is tried), dilation of blood vessels and capillaries of the skin, leading to a 'glow', burning of a few calories (depending on the duration of the act and vigour), exercising of some of the muscles, thus improving lung capacity (during heavy breathing).<br /><br />However, we also need to understand that sexual acts work more in terms of improving resistance, but are not a safe guard or a treatment to illnesses. Any sexual act can neither be used as a treatment nor would it change your stresses of life, which one would need to resolve irrespective. <br /><br />"The extra edge of sex may be due to the feeling of being wanted, an expression of emotions and certain hormonal and physiological changes that happen as an expression of love for another individual. Unfortunately, the benefits of sexuality are usually quoted out of context and people may look at this as a panacea for everything. But sexuality without emotions have limited value." <br />]]></description>

		<title>Alternate Treatment For Kidney Stones</title>
		<link>http://www.dreamteammoney.com/index.php?showtopic=61151</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<b>Naturopathic Treatment</b><br /><br />From a naturopathic perspective, kidney stones that do not occur as a result of a genetic or metabolic disorder are considered to be a diet-related condition. Proper nutrition can support healthy kidney function and may discourage stone formation, and natural therapies may help ease the pain and spasm that accompanies stone passage. Kidney stone treatment should be undertaken only after a physician has made a definitive diagnosis.<br /><br /><b>Nutrition</b><br /><br />The following nutritional recommendations may help to prevent stone formation or recurrence:<ul><li><b>Eat</b> a whole foods diet that contains leafy green vegetables, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and fish and poultry in small portions. Include foods that have a high ratio of magnesium to calcium such as brown rice, bananas, oats, barley, and soy, and that are high in fiber such as oat bran, psyllium seed husk, and flaxseed meal.</li><li><b>Drink</b> a minimum of 50% of body weight in ounces of water daily (e.g., a 150 lb person would drink 75 oz of water). Proper hydration helps prevent the urine from becoming concentrated with crystals, which can lead to stone formation; and reduces the risk for urinary tract infections, which may lessen the risk for struvite stones. Urine color can indicate the level of concentration: dark or bright yellow urine indicates highly concentrated urine; pale or colorless urine indicates dilute urine.</li><li><b>Avoid</b> sugar (check ingredients for hidden sources of sugar), alcohol, antacids, excessive protein, dairy products (especially milk), salt, carbonated beverages, caffeine, and refined white flour products such as pasta, white bread, and baked goods.</li></ul><b>Supplements</b><ul><li><b>Magnesium citrate</b>–Take 500 mg daily. Low magnesium intake has been linked to stone formation. Magnesium supplementation may decrease the size of an existing stone and prevent further formations. Citrate supplementation may prevent further stone formation.</li><li><b>Vitamin B-6</b>–Take 25 mg daily. A B-6 deficiency increases urinary oxalate, which may lead to kidney stones.</li></ul><b>Herbal Medicine</b><br /><br />Herbal medicines usually do not have side effects when used appropriately and at suggested doses. Occasionally, an herb at the prescribed dose causes stomach upset or headache. This may reflect the purity of the preparation or added ingredients, such as synthetic binders or fillers. For this reason, it is recommended that only high-quality products be used. As with all medications, overdosing can lead to serious illness and death.<br /><br />These herbs are sometimes used to ease the discomfort associated with stone passage:<ul><li><b>Bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi)</b>–Acts as a diuretic and antiseptic for the urinary tract.</li><li><b>Cleavers (Galium aparine)</b>–Has a history of use in treatment of congestive kidney disorders, stones, and urinary infections.</li><li><b>Corn silk (Zea mays)</b>–A soothing demulcent with mild diuretic properties.</li><li><b>Crampbark (Viburnum opulus)</b>–Relaxes smooth muscle and is an antispasmodic.</li><li><b>Gravel root (Eupatorium purpureum)</b>–Named for its traditional use as a treatment for stones and gravel of the kidneys. </li><li><b>Kava kava (Piper methysticum)</b>–Has antianxiety and sedative qualities. </li><li><b>Khella (Ammi visnagi)</b>–Has a long tradition in the treatment of kidney stones. Scientific research has demonstrated that the herb may work as a calcium channel blocker-type antispasmodic, which targets and relaxes ureter tissue. This may allow easier passage of small stones.</li><li><b>Seven barks (Hydrangea aborescens)</b>–Has a sedative effect on the urinary system; used in the treatment of kidney stones.</li><li><b>Stone root (Collinsonia canadensis)</b>–Strong diuretic with a history of use in acute and preventative treatment of kidney stones.</li></ul><b>Homeopathy</b><br /><br />Homeopathic medicines may be utilized by naturopathic physicians to treat the pain and spasm associated with kidney stones. When treating the passage of a kidney stone with homeopathy, it is important to remember that the size of the stone must be small enough to pass without surgical intervention and that administration of the homeopathic medicine usually changes the clinical picture, which will then require a different remedy. Other therapies, such as herbal medicines, hot packs, and supplements, are sometimes used with homeopathy.<br /><br />The following homeopathic remedies have been utilized by naturopathic physicians in treating a kidney stone:<ul><li>Berberis vulgaris–Indicated for sharp, stitching pains that radiate to the groin area and right-sided kidney stones.</li><li><b>Cantharis</b>–Indicated for urine that burns and is passed drop by drop. </li><li><b>Colocynthis</b>–Indicated for pain over the whole abdomen while urinating. </li><li><b>Ocimum canum</b>–Indicated for pain accompanied by nausea and vomiting.</li><li><b>Pennyroyal</b>–Indicated for frequent urination and left-sided ureter spasm or stone.</li></ul>The standard dosage for acute symptom relief is 3 pellets of 30C every 4 hours until symptoms resolve. Lower potencies, such as 6X, 6C, 30X, may be given every 2 to 4 hours. Symptoms may improve shortly after the second dose. If there is no improvement after 3 doses, a different remedy is given.

		<title>The Lowdown On High Cholesterol</title>
		<link>http://www.dreamteammoney.com/index.php?showtopic=60536</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.dreamteammoney.com/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumbup:" border="0" alt="thumbup.gif" /> Not all cholesterol is bad for you. In fact, cholesterol is a component of cell membranes of tissues and is needed by the body to produce hormones vital in regulating blood sugar, controlling blood pressure, for athletic performances, and more. It can be produced by the body, and can also come from the foods we eat. Substances called lipoproteins transport cholesterol in our circulatory system. Low density Lipoproteins (LDL) carry and deposit cholesterol in our tissues which can clog up our arteries (thus, LDL-cholesterol = “bad cholesterol”), while high density Lipoproteins (HDL) remove and carry cholesterol away from tissues (HDL-cholesterol = “good cholesterol”).<br /><br />Too much “bad cholesterol”, which can come from eating excessive amounts of fatty foods like red meat, can put us on a red alert. This could lead to high blood pressure and heart disease, a leading killer in some developed countries.<br /><br />There are no symptoms directly associated with high blood cholesterol – a red alert in aging. Those of us who may appear fit on the outside may be prone to having high blood cholesterol as well. We can learn about our cholesterol levels through blood tests that include our LDL and HDL profile.<br /><br />Prevent “bad cholesterol” from building up by maintaining a healthy weight and diet. Exercise regularly. Avoid meat with visible fat and limit foods with high levels of cholesterol like shrimp and egg yolks. Eat fiber-rich foods like fruits and vegetables instead. Banana is an example of fiber that can help reduce cholesterol to healthy levels and this can also be found in your public market.<br /><br />Always be on alert for the red alerts of aging! Start a healthy lifestyle, visit your doctor regularly.<br /><br />]]></description>

		<title>7 Tips To Lose Weight In Office!</title>
		<link>http://www.dreamteammoney.com/index.php?showtopic=60156</link>
		<description><![CDATA[A sedentary lifestyle in the office can add unwanted pounds to your body. Here are a few simple steps that can help you to lose weight without having to give up your job:<br /><br />1. Instead of emailing to your colleagues, it would be more beneficial if you walked those extra steps to his cubicle. Though the steps will be few but eventually they will definitely make a big difference. Moreover, a face-to-face rendezvous always helps to build a better rapport.<br /><br />2. Avoid high calorie snacks and tea or coffee from the office vending machine. Instead stack your drawer with healthy and nutritious snacks like nuts, seeds, raisins and other dry fruits. Other choices include fresh fruits, raw veggies, sachets of herbal teas and ordinary coffee. Drinking strong coffee also helps, since caffeine increases your metabolism. However, it should be black coffee, minus the cream and sugar.<br /><br />3. Use a wireless headset to receive phone calls. This way you can also take a walk around the office premises at the same time. Make it a point to take a 5 minute brisk walk at regular intervals of 2 hours. By the end of the day, this will eventually add up to a 20 minute walk, which can make a big difference.<br /><br />4. One of the simplest ways to shed extra pounds while working in the office is to drink ice cold water. This will boost the metabolism rate of your body, consequently helping you to burn additional 100 calories while you are just sitting in your office chair. You can add a zest of lemon or crushed strawberry for flavor. A few raspberries or even a slice of peach will make a refreshing drink. Instead of gulping down soda, fruit juices, iced teas, drink ample of water. Cutting down on aerated beverages can make a significant difference to your daily calorie count.<br /><br />5. Yet another way to burn calories is to simply twirl a few times in your swivel chair. For every 60 rotations, you will burn about 50 calories. Merely standing can also help to burn calories. Always keep moving even when you are working at your desk. Doing squats and lunges for even a few minutes every five hours is enough to do the trick.<br /><br />6. Instead of waiting for the elevator, use the stairs. Try to take double steps as this will force your muscles to work harder. You can also work your calf muscles by tip toeing around the office or even while standing at our desk. Merely spending as much as 10 minutes, walking up and down the stairs on a daily basis will help you to lose approximately 10 pounds a year.<br /><br />7. Instead of having a high fat and rich carb lunch at your nearest fast food joint, it would be advisable if you packed your lunch at home. This way, not only will you be eating a healthy and well-balanced diet but also save considerable amount of time and money.<br /><br />A stressful and deskbound lifestyle increases the fat in your body. Thus, irrespective of how busy you are, make it a point to take some time out for yourself.<br /><br /><br />http :// how-to-exercise.info/articles/74/1/7-Tips-to-lose-weight-in-office/Page1.html]]></description>

		<title>Men’s Health: Check Under The Hood</title>
		<link>http://www.dreamteammoney.com/index.php?showtopic=59989</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Men. Go figure. They’re more likely than women to die at every point in their lives from womb to old age. Yet, the typical male is as likely to schedule a routine medical check up as he is to stop and ask for directions. What’s really funny about men is that if a men’s car makes, a strange noise, he’s under the hood in a snap, like a bolt of lighting, says Jean Bonhomme, spokesperson for the Men’s health Network in Washington, DC. If we can get men to take care of themselves like their cars, they would live a lot longer. Here is a check list to help men dodge several health threats.
