13 Reasons Every Woman Should Masturbate Regularly

13 Reasons Every Woman Should Masturbate Regularly

Screw diamonds, a little DIY is a girl's best friend.

Historically, masturbation has gotten a bad rap, but a party for one is still a party. And this is one party you'll actually feel better after attending. Masturbation has some awesome health benefits and feels really really good.

Research shows most women over the age of 18 have masturbated at least once, but few women do so routinely. According to Indiana University's National Survey Of Sexual Health And Behavior, only 7.9 percent of women between the ages of 25 and 29 masturbate two to three times a week whereas 23.4 percent of men do. C'mon ladies, we deserve better than that.

Masturbation is a normal, enjoyable and healthy experience. It's time to put the taboo subject of women and masturbation to bed and realize a little menage a moi might be exactly what you need.

The Huffington Post spoke with Dr. Lauren Streicher, an Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Northwestern University and author of Sex Rx: Hormones Health And Your Best Sex Ever, about the health benefits of masturbation. She said that masturbation can benefit your health by helping you sleep, relieving stress and simply being more comfortable with your body. She also noted that, similar to working out or getting a massage, self-stimulation is a great way for you to relax both emotionally and physically. Instead of buying an expensive massage, you can just stay in and give yourself one.

So, dim the lights, burn some candles and hop into bed (or whatever your routine may be) -- it's time to partake in a little self exploration. Here are 13 reasons every woman should masturbate on the reg:

1. It makes you happier.
“We know that pleasure makes people feel good," Streicher said. It's really that simple. Orgasms release the endorphins dopamine and oxytocin, which can improve your mood and create a natural high. Who needs drugs when you can make your own?

2. You become more comfortable with your body.
Your body should be your best friend -- it's one of the only things that will be with you your entire life. And part of becoming besties with your body includes exploring it. “It is extremely important that women have an appreciation of their own anatomy and how to self-pleasure,” Streicher said. Time to hit the books, ladies.

3. It can improve your sex life.
Masturbation allows you to explore your body and find out what feels best. Knowing your body in this way can make you more confident in bed and more vocal with partners. Once you figure out what you like, you can tell your partner where to touch you.

4. It helps you sleep.
There's a reason most of us feel so sleepy after those toe-curling climaxes: Orgasms physically and emotionally relieve tension and exhaust the body, which allow you to fall asleep quicker. “Generally people do sleep better after masturbating, but very often it’s from feeling relaxed and satisfied," Streicher said. Masturbation helps people sleep the same way reading a book before bed does -- you feel calm and relaxed after.

5. It's a great way to release sexual tension.
If you've chosen to not have sex or are simply going through a dry spell, masturbating is a great way to satisfy your libido.

6. Masturbating can ease body aches and menstrual pain.
“If you have a uterine contraction while self-stimulating and a uterine contraction can help menstrual blood come out faster... theoretically it’s going to help with cramps,” Streicher said. While she cautioned that the research behind this benefit is relatively limited, Streicher said there's no reason not to masturbate while on your period: “It’s never a bad thing and if it seems to help you then go for it.” Either way, it's more fun than a heating pad.

7. It relieves stress.
“Anything that makes you feel more relaxed and gets you to turn off the day, whether you do yoga or get a foot massage, it’s all the same thing," Streicher said. "It’s not that it has to be sexual but sex and self-stimulation is definitely one of the ways to relieve stress." Sounds like an awesome way to unwind.

8. Masturbation helps your body stay sexual... even when you're not having sex.
“If you’re between partners, there’s a very strong benefit to keeping things going by self-stimulating -- not only in terms of keeping the tissues elastic and healthy and increasing blood flow, but just getting your brain going," Streicher said. "We know that sex and arousal starts in the brain… The more sex you have, the more sex you want because you think about sex more. If you have someone who hasn’t been sexual for a very long period of time, in most cases, they’re not even thinking about it."

9. There are tons of cool gadgets to help you masturbate.
From hands-free vibrators to buzzing faux lip stick bottles, there's a vibrator for every lady.

10. If you're in a relationship, it's a great way to mix things up -- and keep you coming back for more.
As Streicher noted, the more sex you have, the more sex you'll want to have. It follows that the more you masturbate and become comfortable being sexual with your own body, the more you'll want to be sexual with your partner. "We know that being self-sexual is going to stimulate the part of the brain that is going to keep your libido alive and well," Streicher said.

11. Multiple. Orgasms.
Understanding how your body works helps you know exactly how to pleasure it. Once, twice, three times -- it's up to you! Climax is often times only at the end of sex for men, but women can keep going. Why stop at one?

12. There are no downsides to it.
Masturbation has "absolutely zero negative effects," Streicher said. "Nothing bad can happen from doing it -- you can’t catch anything, you can’t get pregnant, you’re not going to get sick. It’s the best thing out there as far as a feel-good vice that isn’t going to have any negative repercussions.”

13. It feels f*&^%$! amazing.
No explanation needed.

Gli antibiotici naturali: ecco quali sono

Gli antibiotici naturali rappresentano un ottimo aiuto per la nostra salute, in quanto si tratta disostanze naturali, le quali sono in grado di aiutare il nostro organismo e in particolare il nostrosistema immunitario. Ma quali sono le sostanze da usare per aumentare le difese? In particolare molto utili da questo punto di vista sono propoli, semi di pompelmo e tea tree oil. La propoli può essere considerato a tutti gli effetti uno dei migliori antibatterici e antinfiammatori naturali. Si rivela particolarmente utile in caso di malattie da raffreddamento.

Propoli

La propoli infatti può servire per curare ilraffreddore, il mal di gola e il mal di denti, riesce ad agire contro le micosi, possiede proprietà cicatrizzanti ed è in grado di stimolare le risorse immunitarie dell’organismo. Se assumiamo la propoli a basse dosi, riusciamo a bloccare i batteri, mentre, se ne assumiamo dosi più elevate, i batteri vengono uccisi. Da ricordare che la propoli ha anche un’azione antiossidante valida contro i radicali liberi. Quindi la propoli è un ottimo antibiotico naturale contro l’influenza e il raffreddore.

Estratto di semi di pompelmo

Da non dimenticare anche l’estratto dei semi di pompelmo, che riesce a sconfiggere più di cento tipi di funghi e circa 800 batteri. Questo estratto potrebbe essere usato nelle forme influenzali, nelle infezioni gastrointestinali, in alcune micosi, soprattutto quando queste patologie si verificano a causa dell’indebolimento del sistema immunitario. Possiamo trovare l’estratto di semi di pompelmo sotto forma di integratore.

Tea tree oil

Il tea tree oil è un olio essenziale che si estrae dall’albero del tè. Quest’olio si dimostra un valido antibatterico, antimicotico e antivirale e viene consigliato soprattutto per trattare leirritazioni cutanee, le scottature, le gengiviti, l’herpes e le punture di insetti.

Aglio

Un altro antibiotico naturale può essere considerato l’aglio, ricco di sali minerali e diversi tipi di vitamine, fra le quali A, B1, B2 e C. Si può considerare un battericida e un antisettico. Riesce a stimolare il cuore e a facilitare la circolazione, consentendo la depurazione del sangue. L’aglio, inoltre, contrasta diversi germi.

Miele

Da non sottovalutare nemmeno le proprietà delmiele, altra sostanza naturale di cui non dovremmo mai fare a meno. Esso possiede delle straordinarie proprietà curative, in quanto è un ottimo sedativo della tosse, ha degli effetti antibiotici, anche applicato sulla pelle per uso topico. Da non trascurare sono le sueproprietà antinfiammatorie e, proprio per questo, è adatto in caso di punture di insetti. Da questo punto di vista è un rimedio adatto ancheper i bambini. E’ ricco di polifenoli e, quindi, agisce contro i danni provocati dai radicali liberi e si dimostra curativo nei confronti dell’acne.

Argento colloidale

Forse non tutti conoscono l’argento colloidale, che si dimostra un aiuto importante per la salute e la bellezza. Questa sostanza ha delle proprietà rigeneranti per la pelle e agisce come un antibatterico, un antivirale e un antifungino. In passato veniva utilizzato anche per i gargarismi, per i lavaggi vaginali e veniva impiegato per disinfettare la pelle, anche in presenza di ustioni e ferite.

Limone

Anche il limone può essere annoverato fra gli antibiotici naturali, in quanto ha delle proprietà molto importanti. In particolare lo si può usare contro la bronchite, per mettere a punto una tisana insieme all’aglio. L’effetto è quello di combattere i germi e di far abbassare la febbre, se presente

100 пъти по‐ефективно от химиотерапия: растение чудо, което убива раковите клетки за 48 часа!

100 пъти по‐ефективно от химиотерапия: растение чудо, което убива раковите клетки за 48 часа!

 Чаят от глухарче действа на раковите клетки , като ги разсейва в рамките на 48 часа, като същевременно не позволява да бъдат атакувани здравите клетки. Тази билка е много пренебрегвана, а има редица лечебни свойства, и всичко, което трябва да направите е да наберете от чисто поле, далеч от движението на автомобилите. Докато нашите баби са знаели, че сироп от глухарче съдържа много лечебни вещества, днес се знае, че коренът от глухарче може да помогне на болните от рак . Учените са установили, че корените на тази билка "работят" по‐добре от химиотерапията , защото убиват само раковите клетки. Университета Уиндзор в Канада извърши проучване на Катедрата по химия и биохимия, а резултатите дали нова надежда на пациентите с рак . Разкрито било, че корените от глухарче ефективно "убиват" клетките, засегнати от рак, без да повлияват на другите клетки в тялото. Според проучването, глухарчето действа на раковите клетки , като по този начин унищожава за 48 часа, а за това време никоя здрава клетка няма да бъде болна. Заключено е, че непрекъснато лечение с тази билка може да се унищожат повечето клетки болни от рак , а заради чудесните резултати, екипът от изследователи е получил допълнителна подкрепа да продължи изследването на тази билка. Джон Ди Карло, който е на 72 години, лично се убедил в лечебните свойства на глухарчето, докато безуспешно се лекувал цели три години. Като алтернатива пил чай от корен от глухарче , и само след четири месеца този човек преживял пълно излекуване от заболяването, пише Webtribune . 

Сок от чесън или как една българка изобретила лекарство срещу рак...

Сок от чесън или как една българка изобретила лекарство срещу рак...

Българка създаде лек за рака от изцяло натурални съставки. Лекарството е тествано върху пациенти в Националната онкологична болница в София и наистина след приема му се наблюдава намаляване на раковите клетки в организма, показа репортаж на БНТ.

Всичко започва през 2002 година, когато Наташа Вълкова разбира, че страда от саркома (злокачествен рак на мускулите). Според лекарите й остават най-много 2 години живот и я поставят на химио и лъчетерапия. Предписаното лечение обаче, не подобрява състоянието на жената и тя започва да търси други начини да се излекува:

“Изпаднах в шок, определено не ми се умираше, започнах да чета денонощно, да търся някакви алтернативни начини и така случайно попаднах на редица научни изследвания, че суровият чесън успешно лекува много видове рак.” – разказва Наташа.

Изучавала дълги години микробиология, отчаяната жена започва да прилага знанията си и да експериментира със съставките на чесъна.

След многократни опити най-накрая създава лекарството, което я спасява от коварната болест.

100 мл. от лечебния елексир на ден запазват Наташа Вълкова жива!

“Използвах го по време на цялата лъчетерапия и на химиотерапията, даже по време на лъчетерапията прекъснах болничния си лист и се върнах на работа, а в обедната почивка ходех да ми правят лъчетерапията.”

Основната съставка на лекарствоto е спиртен извлек от суров чесън. Добавени са също и маточина, джоджен, босилек, мащерка и живовляк. Лекът не се подлага на химична или термална обработка и по този начин съхранява всички полезни съставки на продуктите!

Наташа смята, че сокът от чесън унищожава метастазите в организма и те спират да се размножават.

И наистина, когато жената отива на преглед се доказва, че създаденият от нея лек повишава лимфоцитите, които убиват раковите клетки. Онкологът й предлага да започне масово производство на натуралния продукт, за да помогне и на други хора.

След прецизно обмисляне на възможностите за реализиране на идеята, Наташа тегли кредит и закупува машини за белене и трошене на скилидките чесън от Китай. Създава малка фабрика в с. Дебели лаг, където работят тя и дъщеря й.

За момента лекарството е разпространено в повечето аптеки и струва по-малко от 10 лв...

“Чесънът е вълшебно растение, той просто е даден от природата, за да покаже на човека, че има нещо малко, нещо неугледно, което притежава огромна сила.”- споделя жената, победила страха и решила да  търси спасение от ужасната диагноза.
