			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Genital Herpes is something you may not discuss with your friends, however, it is a viral infection that is spreading very fast, with about one million new cases per year. In the US it is estimated that fifty million people are infected with genital herpes, making it a lot more common than most know it to be.</p>
<p>Receiving the diagnosis of genital herpes can be emotionally challenging with emotions of shame and isolation. And how does one date when having herpes?</p>
<p>The statistics show that if you are diagnosed with herpes, or if you think you may be, you have a lot of company. Take a look at these statistics:</p>
<p>In the United States about 20% of the adult population are infected with genital herpes. Somewhere around 50 million Americans. Breaking the statistics down, the rate for women is about one in four, and for men it is one in five.</p>
<p>Genital herpes is more prevalent than all other viral sexually transmitted diseases put together. Since a very low number, around 20 percent, know that they are infected it means that many millions are inadvertently infecting their partners with herpes.</p>
<p>Combining the fact that most do not know that they are infected, with another fact, that the disease can be transmitted even in the absence of symptoms, and it is easy to see how it can spread so rapidly.</p>
<p>Once the initial episode has passed, not everyone will ever have an outbreak again. For those infected with HSV-2, about 80% will have additional outbreaks, and those infected with the HSV-1 will have a 50% risk of having additional episodes. Typically, the number of outbreaks is about 4-5 per year.</p>
<p>While getting the diagnosis of genital herpes can be distressing, it is important to get a proper diagnosis which involve the proper blood tests by a medical practitioner.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When people hear the word yoga, they think of somebody sitting in the louts position and possibly meditating while in that position. This discipline is more than just sitting with the feet on the thighs; it is a combination of physical and philosophical foundation for leading one&#8217;s life. The word comes from the ancient Sanskrit writings and translates in English to &#8220;royal union.&#8221; This basically means a union of the body and mind.</p>
<p>The ancient text that gives the basis for it is the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. This ancient text is made up of four books written over 2000 years ago. These books are the Sadhana Pada, Samadhi Pada, Kaivalya Pada and the Vibhuti Pada. The Sadhana Pada is where the physical pieces of yoga are to be found.</p>
<p>In this book, you will learn of the &#8220;eight limbs.&#8221; The limbs referred to here at in essence steps known as Ashtanga yoga. The first five limbs deal with the external and the remaining three are about the internal. Of the first five, the third is Asana and is all about the physical body. Its main idea is that the body needs to be kept disease-free and have a maintenance of energy. It is this book from which people in the west have learned of yoga and transformed it into its modernized, western form.</p>
<p>Asana is simply the plural from of the word asan which means posture or body position. The purpose of asana is to make improvements in vitality and flexibility and to promote meditation. Proponents of asana believe that doing the various positions opens the channels for physical and psychic energy in the human body. Any positions practiced should be held firmly and steadily while remaining comfortable.</p>
<p>This means that there should be no physical pain while in any of the positions. There are several poses that a person practicing the discipline may strike. These range from beginner poses to a more advanced level of positions.</p>
<p>No matter what your level of expertise is, there are a few fundamental concepts to always keep in mind. Any exercises should be done on an empty stomach. Your body should never quiver or shake because of too much pressure or force being exerted. It is important to always keep controlled breathing-no do hold your breath or gasp. Most of the time you want to do <noindex><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.extremefitness.ca/yoga" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" >yoga</a></noindex> on a mat and not the floor. At the end of each session, you will want to spend some time maintaining a state of deep relaxation.</p>
<p>Poses vary in their execution. Some are done seated while others are performed standing, lying on your back, balanced against another object or with the back bent. Poses are generally classified as beginner, intermediate and advanced. Beginners may start with the Downward Facing Dog, The Pyramid or the Standing Forward Bend. These are standing positions. Some seated poses for beginners are the Cobbler&#8217;s Pose, Seated Wide Legged Straddle and Half Lord of the Fishes.</p>
<p>Again, yoga is more than just getting into a certain position. It is an entire philosophy that centers around not only tangible needs but spiritual well being as well. In fact, the first limb of the Sutras teaches the virtues of nonviolence, truth in thought and word and celibacy for the unmarried and monogamy for the married.</p>
<p>Attending itness clubs is an excellent way to maintain a healthy lifestyle and keep your body in shape. They offer <noindex><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.extremefitness.ca/personal_training" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" >personal training Toronto</a></noindex> too. Alternatively, you may prefer <noindex><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.extremefitness.ca/yoga" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" >yoga Toronto</a></noindex> for a further enriching fitness experience.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Planning for retirement is very important whether you intend to retire in twenty years or right now. It is a great idea to start saving as early as possible. Having financial problems when you retire can be your worst fears realized and no one wants that.</p>
<p>The sooner you start to save for your retirement the more you will accumulate over the years towards your retirement nest egg. Retirement can be a great time in your life if you are not worrying over money problems the whole time. We spend many years making money to pay our bills and once it comes time to retire we do not want to be worrying over bills any longer.</p>
<p>Our bills will not disappear when we retire. They will actually seem to increase when we retire because of problems that come with aging. You will want to set realistic goals for saving a nest egg. You should be honest to yourself when it comes time to set your saving goals. After retirement how do you plan to live?</p>
<p>A really good way to help you save towards your nest egg is with a 401K plan. Your company will actually match what you put into the plan. On every pay day a preset amount will go towards your 401K plan which your company will then match and add to it. Saving money with a 401K plan is an easy way to grow a nest egg.</p>
<p>Like a 401K plan an IRA will give you a large tax break. There are two types of IRA you can get. There is a traditional IRA which you will only pay taxes on when you take out a withdrawal. The Roth IRA will not require any payments for taxes when you withdraw from it.</p>
<p>Some retired people will work part time to help with extra money and because they want to stay busy. If you have spent many years working it can be hard to find some way to keep busy when you are not working any more. This is hard for some people to handle.</p>
<p>When you have a big nest egg it helps with easing your worries. Facing your future without a nest egg can be a very scary thing to do if you have no steady income. Preparing well in advance will help to eliminate any feats you may have. You need to take time to think of your future when you retire.</p>
<p>For more information on how <noindex><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.longtermcareinsurance-guide.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" >Long Term Care Insurance</a></noindex> can help prepare us as we age. Also you can get a <noindex><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.longtermcareinsurance-guide.com/quote" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" > long term care insurance quote</a></noindex>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Even the most charmed of couples can go through phases of being not so great. Whether it&#8217;s a major, known issue, or you&#8217;re just a bit out of sorts with each other for awhile, no relationship is immune. The good news is, it doesn&#8217;t mean the end. And it doesn&#8217;t mean things won&#8217;t get back to good.</p>
<p>The bad news? When you&#8217;re the one who&#8217;s actually in the middle of a malfunctioning twosome, it&#8217;s really hard to see that things will get better. When that&#8217;s the case, it can be easy to lose your head. I mean, we&#8217;re only human. We&#8217;re weird animals. And when something that is dear to us, like a love, is threatened, we&#8217;ll do some crazy things in the name of saving it.</p>
<p>Which is all very understandable. If you&#8217;re in that situation and need some help getting things turned around, read on for three things you definitely should NOT do to get your relationship back on track. And by the way, the baby thing? I so did not do that.</p>
<p>Have a Baby</p>
<p>Seriously? I have to say this? Apparently, I do. Because people are still doing the whole punching-holes-in-condoms or I-swear-I&#8217;m-on-birth-control thing and tricking their significant other into an &#8220;accidental&#8221; pregnancy. And it&#8217;s not just the ladies&#8230;men do this too. A thousand shades of wrong, folks.</p>
<p>Invade his privacy</p>
<p>So his cell phone is sitting right there, and he&#8217;s nowhere to be found. You&#8217;re thinking that a quick peek at his text messages and email will give you all the insight you need into fixing whatever is wrong. Right? Wrong!! You&#8217;re delusional if you think that possible law breaking, not to mention a gross invasion of privacy will help you fix your relationship. What is will get you is a break up.</p>
<p>Checking a lover&#8217;s email, Facebook, text messages&#8230;all straight ways to freaking yourself out. Because either you find something that is incriminating against him/her and then you can&#8217;t use it against them (illegally obtained evidence is inadmissible in court, babies) or you find nothing and you&#8217;re just a snoop. Lose/Lose.</p>
<p>Move in with each other</p>
<p>When the idea of facing your problems becomes a downer (and let&#8217;s face it, who looks forward to that), the natural response is often to become physically closer. So the couple will move in together. It&#8217;s an illogical, if understandable, response that does nothing to solve the underlying issues in your relationship.</p>
<p>So why not move in together instead?! It gives you an exciting diversion and the thrill and illusory romance of embarking on cohabitation is usually enough to distract the two of you from what was causing problems. But hey! Whisper&#8230;those problems? They&#8217;ll be back. Only this time, you&#8217;re sharing a lease. Good job further complicating things.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is no escaping the aging process. As long as we are alive we are moving towards the upper years of our lives. Eventually we will need geriatric care in order to live a comfortable life. When we begin to reach an upper age, our children and loved ones will switch roles from the child to the parent.</p>
<p>There are many different geriatric care facilities these days. The type that is good for your loved one will depend on if they are able to live on their own or not. If they can live on their own but are at a risk of falling or getting hurt than living in a assisted living facility may be the answer. These are small apartments with pull cords for emergency situations.</p>
<p>The long cords that are attached to the alarm will notify the emergency squads if a person was to fall down or find themselves in a emergency situation. The cords are all the way to the ground so they can be reached without having the person get off the floor to reach a phone.</p>
<p>If the loved one in your life is not able to live on their own and maintain their own apartment then a nursing home may be the better choice for them. There will be medical personnel on staff at all times to assist them. All of their medication will be administered by the nursing staff so there is no chance that they would forget their medication.</p>
<p>In a nursing home, the residents no longer have the ability to cook for themselves. They will be fed breakfast, lunch and dinner in a common area that serves as a dining area. As dinner time approaches, they all gather in the room and enjoy their dinner together.</p>
<p>There are many reasons that someone would be living in a nursing home. They could be there just to recover from a major surgery such as a hip replacement or a knee replacement surgery. If this is the case, they will be returning to their own home after their recovery has reached a certain point.</p>
<p>Some people that move into a nursing home have a chronic medical condition that will lead to death in the facility. The job of the nursing home employees will then be to make them comfortable and be sure that they are cared for in their last days. The residence that are healthy enough may even be given the opportunity to leave the facility for a few hours or over night even if they are healthy enough.</p>
<p>We will all have to face the possibility of geriatric care at some point in our lives. Whether it is to arrange for care of a loved one or to get assistance for us there is probably going to be a time that we need to go down this road.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Aging research is a very popular topic for study and much of the research that goes on in medicine is in some way linked to gaining. The life expectancy has greatly increased due to advances in medicine and the understanding of human health. There is a lot of investigation into specific aging diseases such as Parkinson&#8217;s and Alzheimer&#8217;s as well as stopping the signs of gaining.</p>
<p>There are many diseases and health issues that occur as an individual ages. Some of the research looks into health issues and other industries also look into aging and gaining research to stop the signs of gaining. This is specifically the cosmetic agency. Many individuals look for ways to stop aging as this provides a greater work force.</p>
<p>One of the big areas of research in aging deals with Alzheimer&#8217;s. This disease is specifically linked to gaining and there are many agencies that work specifically on Alzheimer&#8217;s research. The ACT-AD is one such coalition that is comprised of national organizations that are looking to fast track a cure or successful treatment for Alzheimer&#8217;s.</p>
<p>Oxidation and understanding how and where it happens in the body as oxidation increases as you age. Oxidation occurs by free radicals that form in the skin and many aging signs in the skin are directly linked to oxidation.</p>
<p>This oxidation creates instability in the body. A lot of the current research focuses on how this oxidation occurs and ways in which to reverse to stop oxidation from happening. The cosmetics industry has put a lot of time and money into oxidation and free radical formation.</p>
<p>Another area of research is in weight and how your weight when you are younger an affect you as you age. Being obese or overweight when you are young has been linked to developing heart disease or diabetes when you are older. Also being a healthy weight has been linked to staying active when you are older as it is much easier to be mobile.</p>
<p>The effect of breaking bones when you age will also affect your health and lifespan as those that break a bone, specifically the hip, will have a higher mortality rate. Much of the current research is focused on understanding why these accidents or falls occur and how it can be avoided or finding successful treatment after the bone has mended. Many diseases and dementia are linked to breaking bones and there is a huge emphasis on studying brain functions as you age.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever known a woman who would ditch her friends for a man? For example: On Monday, she would make plans to go with you to an exhibit and by Friday, the plans were altered because the new guy she met on an internet dating site just happened to call. Being the friend that you are, you always seem to understand and say that it is no big deal.</p>
<p>Deep down inside, you&#8217;re starting to become resentful and you feel more than a bit neglected. Here&#8217;s a news flash for you; guys don&#8217;t break guy plans to spend time with you, so you might want to think twice before cancelling gal pal plans for a guy. In truth, if he cared for you at all he&#8217;d be the first one to insist that you keep your original plan.</p>
<p>Business has a policy of &#8220;first come, first served&#8221;. Well, I think relationships should be like that too. A strong relationship with a man is not going to wither and die because you spend time with friends now and again. In fact, it should strengthen your relationship because it shows your guy that you have a life outside of him. Your friends are just as important as your new sweetie; you&#8217;ve known them longer.</p>
<p>Now, there are probably a few women out there that may be saying that you shouldn&#8217;t let your friends come between you and your man. On the flip side, should you let your man come between you and your friends? Think about it. There are a certain percentage of women who meet someone new and begin dating and then become totally involved with their man.</p>
<p>Phone calls become scarce as her new relationship consumes all her time. Perhaps the woman in question simply feels that this man is all she needs. Along with her friends, her work and other aspects of her personal may suffer as well. While you might think that you&#8217;d never let this happen to you, most women don&#8217;t do this conscientiously, it just sort of sneaks up on them.</p>
<p>Love should complement you, not make you brain dead and certainly not make you lose your job or your friends. Remember if and when the courtship is over, you will need them both, especially the latter. The people you did not have time for will be the same people that you will be calling the most to pour your heart out, and to seek some type of counsel.</p>
<p>Although your friends may not say it, they probably wanted to confront you all along, but were apprehensive about putting a barrier on the friendship. Most caring friends keep their mouth shut and just listen to the sob story that is entirely of your own making.</p>
<p>If your guy can&#8217;t understand that you have a life that may not include him, then you don&#8217;t need him. It&#8217;s that simple. Remember, you don&#8217;t have to lose your identity to be in love or to be involved in a relationship. A relationship should add to your life, not take away from it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are getting older you may have very real health concerns. But aging health does not have to be a string of doctors appointments, chronic ailments and medications. There are three different areas where work on your part can help you enjoy good health even at a very advanced age.</p>
<p>You need to think about the health of your body and your mind, and use nutrition to bring them into line. The good news is that since these are important at any age, if you are younger you can get a jump on the situation.</p>
<p>As you age, there are a number of physical changes that can make it necessary for you to alter your level of physical exercise. A decrease in levels of estrogen and testosterone can lead to a loss of muscle mass. Bone can deteriorate and there is often the danger of osteoporosis especially in women. Brittle bones can lead to fractures that can destroy your chances of independent living.</p>
<p>You should keep participating in weight bearing exercises because these can build up muscle mass and bone density. Ideally you should go into your later years with strong bones that have been strengthened by years of a good diet and plenty of calcium and vitamin D. Since this is not always an option, you should work at maintaining the bone and muscle you do have. The good news is that muscle mass can be increased, although this may take more time and effort than before you left middle age. The more endurance you have can make it easier for you to live independently for as long as possible.</p>
<p>Diet can be a great way to help make your health great no matter what stage of life you are at. Foods that are rich in vitamins and minerals and low in additives and chemicals can be a wonderful way to keep your system in top shape even as it ages. You need to make sure you are taking a vitamin supplement since it can be hard to get enough nutrients from your diet alone. In addition to helping keep your bones and muscles strong, a good diet can give you an amazing amount of energy that you can use to keep active and stay positive mentally.</p>
<p>Mental health is something that many people don%u2019t consider when they are thinking about aging health. But the mind and the body are closely interlinked so if you want good physical health you should look at including good mental health as well. Many seniors suffer from depression and feelings of isolation. If this is the case with you or someone you know, getting help can be critical. Mental exercises are also important for retaining memory. Consider learning a new skill or a language since anything which exercises your memory will keep your brain active and aware.</p>
<p>There are certain challenges that aging health can present but by keeping on top of the specific issues you face you can continue enjoying good health no matter how old you are.</p>
