If we think about sex, to mind comes terms such as wet, slippery and warm. This may indicate to the conclusion that water is an ideal environment for sex, but not exactly so. Only people in films jumpin in the pool without preparation and have sex.

First, water is not friendly towards sex, becouse it wash out natural lubricant from woman's body, including the vagina. Contact men's penis with unlubricated vagina is uncomfortable for both participants. It is best to prepare for sex, anointing inside of the vagina-based lubricant which is not soluble in water.

Then there is the issue of security. Would you like to practice safe sex with condoms, know that they are not in the best relationship with water. Thin layer lubrikanata that condoms coated prone liquefaction is in contact with water, which makes the condom less comfortable for the holders and the passive partner.

If you have sex inheated pool, warm water and cleaning chemicals such as chlorine adversely affect the resistance of condoms so the level of security that provides lower. In case if a condom falls of from the penis, is convenient to have one in reserve.

When you resolve the issue of condoms and lubricant, you're ready for what really matters. However, in what water do you plan to have sex?

In the pool
Public swimming pools are out of question, unless you like to try new things, and you are ready to spend the night in jail, or if you are the guardian of the pool so you can use outside working hours. However, the problem with public swimming pools is chlorine, which is located in the water, and it can cause an a allergic reaction to woman.

Compromise option is oral sex, one partner sits on edge of pool, while the other operates out of the water. If the private swimming pool, there is no risk of curious public views, but still remains a problem with water - make sure that the chlorinated.

In natural waters
Lakes, calm rivers and the sea many lure on sex, but nature is not always gentle towards the lovers. Brine annoying irritate the vagina, and the sand is despite a number of precautionary measures retract in unwanted places. Sand can hide sharp rocks, shards of glass and other trash.

In the bathtub or shower
If bath tub large enough, many possibilities are open. Even small bath tub leaves space for some positions, such as sitting or kneeling. Shower allows stand sex, but pay attention to the danger of falling. Fall in the bathroom is a common cause of death or disability. If you plan to frequent sex under the shower, install a strong lever for which you can catch during sex or normal showering.

Swimming pool with trails has negative associations for many women and men. Cold, inconvenient and... wet. And, this is a real pity!

Swimming is a great cardiovascular workout without the risk of severe pain in the joints that comes with running for example.

And, to get that slim and powerful look that lures so many women.

Swimming builds functional strength, starting with the kernel muscles - back, chest and abdomen, "People think that it is about strengthening your arms and legs, but they are only extensions of what makes the core, if you swim properly," says Terry Laughlin, a veteran swimming , trainer and author of the book Triathlon Swimming Made Easy. The problem is that many men do not know how to swim properly - saw mills, sinking and then they give up. Not you. Your lessons in swimming, adult version, begins here.

Try some of the following tricks:
Take the top of the head, not the front end, to better align the head and spine. Look at the bottom of pool, not ahead.

Push down the chest until the hips and feet are not easy. This "sinking feeling" a consequence of the different position of hip and leg in the water from the upper part of the body. Pushing the chest down, gives you better balance. Svakim momentum armpit slide into the water.

Slide your hand into the water any momentum as the dress sleeve. Longer body line reduces the resistance. Stretch out your hand until your shoulder does not touch jaw.

Silence your body. Waves show the effort spent in vain. Imagine that break the water and pass through the hole.

noreply@blogger.com (Montoya) — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 16:01:00 +0000

"You use a yogurt with a label LGG to improve your intestinal microfloru, and with that your digestion." That could be one of propaganda slogan derived from the milk industry and dairy products. And what is that so superior in this abbreviations - LGG?

LGG is short for Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, which are microorganism, that where discoverd by microbiologist Goldin and Gorbach in 1985.

With this microorganism, as probiotics are most often used by families of bacteria, Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, which are normally residents of the human digestive system.

The precise definition of probiotics is the following: they are living microorganisms that, if used in adequately volume, have a beneficial effect on the body. Can be used as individual or as a mixed culture of live microorganisms.

The primary effects are on intestinal microflore. Our intestinal microfloure is a quantity of about 95% are required anaerobi (Bifidobacterium, Clostridium, Eubacterium, Fusobacterium), while the rest consists of bacteria that can live in environments without oxygen (Lactobacillus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Bacillus). Gut microflora bit the maturation of the immune system, for the defense of allergens, to maintain the functionality of intestinal mucous membrane and helps in prevention activities patogenih microorganisms in intestines and indirectly in the rest of the body.

Disturbance to the microflora in our intestines can occur due to increased body temperature, unbalanced nutrition, various diseases, stress, aging process, taking antibiotics or other drugs, and toxins due to exposure.

The essential is that the "good" and "bad" bacteria in our intestines are in balance. Consumption of products containing probiotic Culture protect mucous membranes, intestines and prevents propagation and action patogenih microorganisms. Probiotics are competitive compete for space and food with a "bad" bacteria (if any more "bad" bacteria have less chance to survive). Products in which we find such a culture are primarily dairy products like yogurt, kefir and cheese, but also with clabber cabbage, so using these probiotic foods can enter the body.

Probiotics have beneficial effect in diarrhea, constipation, urinary tract infections, allergies, and at intolerancije lactic acid bacteria (since converted lactose into lactic acid).

It is important to stress that is carried out and selection probiotics bacteria that are used. Can be used only those that meet the criteria of security (ie, proved that they present in the human alimentary tract). It is also particularly mindful of the possibilities of survival of such bacteria in food and during the passage through the gastrointestinal system. And of course, must be proven their potential therapeutic and / or preventive effect on certain diseases.

Favorable impacts probiotics on the body:
◦ strengthen the immune system of organism
◦ slow growth of microorganisms patogenih
◦ affect reduction LDL (bad) cholesterol (decreases its resorpciju)
improving utilization and affects the metabolism of Ca
◦ Recollecting intestinal mikrofloru after treatment with antibiotics
◦ reduce the frequency of appearance of colon cancer
