			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2827" title="Nine-Tips-On-How-To-Keep-Your-Teeth-Healthy-300x200" src="http://www.funglamour.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Nine-Tips-On-How-To-Keep-Your-Teeth-Healthy-300x200-150x150.jpg" alt="Nine-Tips-On-How-To-Keep-Your-Teeth-Healthy-300x200" width="150" height="150" />Beautiful and strong <strong>teeth</strong> are not a dream but quite attainable  goal. You can keep your teeth in the perfect condition without extra expenses or  massive efforts. All you need to do is to follow our nine key tips.</p>
<ol>
<li>You need to brush not only your teeth but also your tongue and cheeks  because germs gather in these areas too.</li>
<li>Change your <strong>toothbrush</strong> 2 or 3 times a month.</li>
<li>Change your tooth paste regularly because your body gets used to a certain  set of active ingredients and stops responding over time.</li>
<li>Brush your teeth before breakfast in the morning and before bed in the  evening.</li>
<li>Make it a rule to gargle your throat thoroughly after each meal, especially  after eating sweet or sour food. You can use plain water for this.</li>
<li>Use a tooth thread to remove food leftovers. Toothpick can injure mouth  mucosa.</li>
<li>You can also use chewing <strong>gum</strong> after meal. The chewing gum  absorbs toxins and removes soft plaque accumulation. Just make sure you don’t  chew it more than 15 minutes.</li>
<li>Use antibacterial rinse if possible.</li>
<li>Buy an oral irrigator. It helps to clean spaces between teeth and  dentogingival areas effectively. Intense pulsing spurts of water massage the  gums, improving blood flow.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Right Food for Healthy Teeth</h3>
<p>Our teeth need a lot of <strong>calcium</strong>. This chemical element makes  the enamel strong. Calcium-rich foods are diary products, fish, beans, beet and  spinach. The water we drink and use to cook our meals is also important. Take a  note of this.</p>
<div>You need to train your teeth to make them strong. Eat solid  vegetables and fruit regularly. Bite on carrots and apples.</div>
<h3>Unhealthy Beverages</h3>
<p>What is unhealthier for your teeth, tea or coffee? Actually, either, as well  as berry juices, red wine and other <strong>beverages</strong> with coloring  pigments. However, they don’t harm teeth enamel and color just dental plaque.  What’s really harmful is soda drinks. They contain orthophosphoric acid that  “gnaws” at teeth enamel.</p>
<h3>Dental Care</h3>
<p>Even healthy teeth need some dental care from time to time. That is provided  by hygiene <strong>dentists</strong>. They provide tooth cleaning, remove dental  stones and coat the teeth with special protection which can work for, at least,  half a year. But it’s not recommended to whiten your teeth with hydrogen  peroxide products much too often, because this kind of treatment affects the  strength of teeth.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2824" title="5-Birth-Control-Myths-219x300" src="http://www.funglamour.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/5-Birth-Control-Myths-219x300-150x150.jpg" alt="5-Birth-Control-Myths-219x300" width="150" height="150" />In 21st century the average age for a <strong>woman</strong> to give birth  slowly approaches 35 years, making <strong>contraception</strong> a particularly  important subject. There are lots of couples using condoms, women taking  <strong>birth control pills</strong> and those having IUD. But there are still  many <strong>myths</strong> about contraception. Let us go through some of them  and reveal the truth behind them.</p>
<h3>1. Woman can not get pregnant during her first time.</h3>
<p>Women can get pregnant even before they have their first menstruation.  <strong>Ovulation</strong> happens approximately 15 days before menstruation;  baby is usually conceived during this period (7 days through the cycle).  Statistics show, that 20 per cent of the teenagers (ages before 16) who get  pregnant <strong>conceive</strong> during their first sexual act, while over 40  percent of the pregnant teenagers (same age group) conceive during the first six  months of their <strong>sexual life</strong>.</p>
<h3>2. Woman can not get pregnant when she is breastfeeding.</h3>
<p>This myth holds true under certain circumstances.  “<strong>Contraception</strong>” takes place if there is a combination of the  following characteristics: no menstruation during the early post-pregnancy  period, abundant milk secretion, which is the sole source of nutrition for the  infant. Nevertheless, the condition applies only for the first six months after  the <strong>childbirth</strong>.</p>
<h3>3. Periodically women need to stop taking birth control pills, since they  are harmful to health.</h3>
<p>“Rest” from the <strong>pills</strong> used to be practiced due to high  content of hormones in them. Modern pills do not have this shortcoming. A woman  will feel physical discomfort, have delayed <strong>menstrual cycle</strong>,  and will need to turn to other means of contraception if she takes “rest” from  her pills. In addition, modern <strong>birth control</strong> pills lower  appetite, such that women who stop taking them usually tend to gain some weight.  The advice is simple – consult a gynecologist.</p>
<h3>4. Contraceptive pills can trigger cancer development.</h3>
<p><strong>Women</strong> started using contraceptive pills over forty years  ago. Numerous studies deny connection between those <strong>pills</strong> and  cancer. It should be noted that this type of medication is one of the most  studied drug in the world. Scientific laboratories keep developing newer, more  effective, and safer contraceptive pills, which contain less hormones.</p>
<div><span style="color: #993300;"><strong>In contrast to this  myth</strong><strong>,</strong> some types of the birth control pills are being used as  preventive drug for some types of cancer, such as ovarian and uterine  cancer.</span></div>
<p>According to the data presented by the Hispanic <strong>Health</strong> Center, when a woman takes those pills for the period of at least 4 years, she  also lowers her risks of developing cancer by 40 per cent, and those who take  them for 12 years, lower the risk by 40 per cent. The protective effect stays  put for 15 years.</p>
<h3>5. Make a schedule of your menstrual cycle and you will not need to protect  yourself on the “safe” days.</h3>
<p>Recent studies have shown that modern women have significant variations in  their <strong>ovulation</strong> schedule. The reason resides in poor ecology,  increase in stressful situations in daily life, and weaker immune system. In  addition, let me remind you that sperm is capable of  <strong>fertilization</strong> for up to seven days after release. Given those  facts, you can no longer blindly trust the schedule.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2821" title="Hourglass-Body-Type-Affects-Men-As-Alcohol-300x240" src="http://www.funglamour.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Hourglass-Body-Type-Affects-Men-As-Alcohol-300x240-150x150.jpg" alt="Hourglass-Body-Type-Affects-Men-As-Alcohol-300x240" width="150" height="150" />Researchers at the Georgia Gwinnett College in the US claim that curvy, Beyonce  <strong>type women</strong> affect the male brain in the same way as alcohol  does. Researchers showed pictures of women before and after plastic surgery to a  group of young men. Their <strong>weight</strong> was the same but waist to hip  ratio was larger.</p>
<p>The <strong>men</strong> preferred women with larger waist to hip ratio while  special equipment registered the burst of activity in the same  <strong>brain</strong> areas as when drinking alcohol. Researchers link this to  the fact that subconsciously wide hips and narrow waist are recognized as a sign  of <strong>health</strong> and the capacity to give birth to healthy children.  We’ve certainly heard it before but women who got tired of dieting might like  the idea</p>
