What we put consume for our bodies affects everything, emotionally and physically including our sexual desire. Empty calories and fatty treats just don’t cut it in the boudoir, as poor eating contributes to an expanding waistline and crumby sheets kill the sexy mood. Saturated fats and sugar zap the body’s stores of zinc, mainly a key player in all things amorous. Zinc improves sex drive, and heightens the senses of taste and smell.

You might still remember last summer, we published an article called “Sure Signs How To Tell If He Is Interested In Me“. As this is a very interesting subject for women, we have decided to revisit this hot topic again. Whether you are gone out with your guy for a while or he is just the one you secretly desire, how do you tell if he is really into you? Please read the following 10 signs will help you to find out.

He Keeps You Close

He wants to sit next to you, he wants to hold your hand, and you will find that his body leans forward toward yours. This move can be either very subtle or extremely in your face or by your ear. He will find an opportunity to whispering to your ear so he can be closed to you and sense your magical scent. It’s his way of letting you know he’d like to get closer. More often, wherever you go, he is there, and he is ready to be close to you!

He Runs Into You

You believe these are happy accidents, and you believe he is innocent and very cute! Take this as a positive sign and make the most of your next encounter. This is an opportunity to fund out more about him, encourage him to open out so you can get to know him better too.

He Loves Your Shows

He loves whatever shows you put on your TV at home or movie theater sharing popcorn with you. From comedy to scary movies, from drama to romance, he enjoys laughing with you.  If you are watching scary movies he is dying to hold you in his strong arm. He would love to watch his sport game or play car race, but he rather spend time with you and join your show, because he wants to let you know how important you are to his life. If you do this at home, you might want to think about of treating him with popcorn or pretzel, or even a glass of beer.

He Is Nervous Around You

Because he cares, so you will find you make your guy nervous without reason. He does not know what to say, and where to place his arms. He is shy because he is somehow a little bit insured and venerable, this down not mean he is loosing confidence, just because he does not know your feeling toward him. He’ll get goose bumps or a rapidly beating heart just from being around you. Look for signs like unexplained laughter, sweaty palms and fidgeting.

It is up to you to get feedback from your friends if they are fully approve for welcoming to the circle of trust.

Women are verbal and driven by emotion, another side of world, men are intent to be visual and physical, and they are driven by different brain chemistry. If you discover him start to express his feeling, that means he is opening his channel to you, and he is ready to move to a intimate relationship.

There are a few surprises lurking inside your bones, and youthful habits can even affect bones in old age. Read on to find out more about this living—yes, they’re alive!—tissue.
A group of osteoblasts cells are constantly churning out new bone, while a second set destroys bone by gobbling it up like Pac-Man. This constant tug of war between creation and destruction is called bone remodeling. It’s the reason bones regenerate after a break, grow rapidly during youth, and, unfortunately, decline later in life when the balance tips toward destruction.

Invest Active Life Style

Playing sports, lifting weights, running, and almost any activity that moves muscle will trigger your bones to lay down more minerals and get stronger and more dense. Since bone density peaks around age 30 and then starts to slip away, the more you build in youth, the more you’ll have to “spend” later. When you have more money in the bank prior to bone loss, you won’t reach a level of deficiency that sets you up for fracture.

Watch Your Regular Hormone

Young women who stop having a regular period get a steep hormone drop that mimics menopause, which leads to bone loss. Anorexia in particular can harm bones by halting menstruation. If women don’t menstruate or under-menstruate, it’s like going through menopause in their 20s or 30s instead of their 50s, and the associated drop in estrogen causes the bone remodeling process to speed up and become imbalanced.

Control Your Alcohol and Smoke

Too much alcohol hurts your liver, brain, and other parts of your body, and also a big problem for bones. Heavy drinkers tend to lose bone density, and when these levels gets low enough, it’s called osteopenia. This is a milder condition than osteoporosis, but alcoholism or habitual heavy drinking over time can cause calcium deficiency and the more severe bone thinning known as osteoporosis. Smoking is also a risk factor for osteoporosis.

Keep Your Bally Lean

Research suggests that premenopausal women who carry extra fat in their midsection are at increased risk for osteoporosis. Abdominal fat is really bad fat and very metabolically active, that produces all kinds of hormones that can increase inflammation in the body, and the end result of inflammation is increased bone dissolution.

Evaluate Your Medication Regularly

Bone is a major storage pool for calcium and phosphate, and it stores substances like heavy metals in low levels for long periods of time. There are many bone-strengthening medications on the market. But they’re not for everyone
Bisphosphonate drugs (Fosamax, Boniva, Actonel, Reclast) reduce fractures, but they can be tough on the stomach and have been linked in rare cases to fractures and serious jaw problems. Getting reevaluated after three to five years to make sure you still need the medication. Changing drugs or dosages are options. Low-risk patients can even stop the regimen, but they have to be monitored very closely.

Visit Your Dentist

One loss can strike anywhere in the body, and the jaw is not immune. If the jawbone deteriorates or loses density, the result may be loose (or lost) teeth, receding gums, or ill-fitting dentures.
Dentists can pick up on osteoporosis by checking your regular dental X-rays and watching for related health problems, according to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases.

Eat Calcium-rich Food

Getting calcium from your diet rather than supplements. The pills have been linked to kidney stones and studies suggest that heart attack risk is higher in older adults who take calcium than in those who do not. A 2010 Institute of Medicine report suggested that most people in the U.S. are getting enough vitamin D and calcium in their diet without supplements.
Calcium-rich food is great for your bones. Yogurt and cheese, fortified foods, and calcium-rich foods like almonds and green veggies.
Even fruits or vegetables without that much calcium can benefit bones. Fruits and veggies might help buffer acids in the body, and high acid content isn’t good for bones.

Protect Yourself From Injure

Breaking hip is most common in people older than 65, that can be a potentially life-changing or even life-threatening event, and may require surgery and long recovery times. Some never fully recover from a broken hip and have to use a walker or wheelchair.
When a bone breaks, it doesn’t end up any stronger than before the trauma, but that’s not to say a broken wristbone won’t be back to fighting shape after recovery.
Project yourself from falling, breaking bone is the best preventive maintenance for your bone and health after all.

There are 29 companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500that are all male in decision-making roles, with no women on the board of directors or among the top five highest-paid officers, according to Bloomberg Rankings. They range from America’s largest maker of uniforms, Cintas, to the company that produces Animal Planet and the Oprah Winfrey Network, Discovery Communications.

There are 47 companies, or 9.4 % of the S&P 500, that have no women on the board of directors, 29 companies by excluding companies with at least one woman among the highest-paid executives listed on the company proxy. For example, Philadelphia-based retailer Urban Outfitters did not make our ranking because while it does not have any women on the board of directors, two of the highest-paid executives on the company proxy — Wendy Wurtzburger and Wendy McDevitt — are women.

The spokeswoman for Discovery Communications, Michelle Russo, first explained that women hold top positions at the company and named a number of network presidents before she paused and asked, “We’re on background, right?”

The chairman of the board — and former chief executive — of  Cintas, Robert Kohlhepp, was more direct. “Our next board member will be a female,” he said in an interview. “That is a strong feeling I have and a strong feeling the rest of the board has.”

Sound Business

It makes no sense not to have diversity on the board? Its sound business to have women on the board, not least because more than half the customers and employees are women. The large public company doesn’t exist, that doesn’t have women as end users or investors.

Even so, American corporate boards moved further from gender equality last year as the number of women on corporate boards of companies on the S&P 500 dropped to 16% from 16.6%, according to Bloomberg.

It simply astounding that a company that has at least half its ultimate users and customers as women, especially uniform making or media, that they don’t have a woman on the board.

Few Women in Oil and Gas

In some cases, the argument is that there simply aren’t enough qualified women to earn a seat on a specific company board. “We try to be color blind and not be prejudiced either way, obviously, but it tends to be an industry where, let’s see, I don’t think I can name a CEO of an oil and gas company that is a woman. If you want a board that has oil and gas experts, then you’re picking from the same pool. We have looked at women, and we have interviewed some, but we just haven’t found one that we thought was the right candidate.”

Lacking Technical Knowledge

A few other oil and gas executives responded that there is some challenge, that the board looks for deep industry experience and technical experience where it can find it. Look back to where this industry looked 30 years ago. That was a time when it was not heavily populated with women in the leadership. The fact is that more than half the employees of that hugely industrial corporation were women.

Instances of Tokenism

The number of women on boards grew throughout the 1990s and 2000s, but that growth has leveled off in recent years. Experts and female board members say that when boards have only one woman, it’s often just a token gesture of gender diversity.

The vast majority of board members are men, and just 2.6% of board chairmanships are held by women, according to Catalyst, a nonprofit that focuses on women and business. There are only 3 companies in the S&P 500 women who hold more than 40% of the board seats: Avon Products , Estee Lauder, and Macy’s.

There is a concern that some of the initial progress was tokenism. Many companies express that they have one woman on our board now, so they check that box off and quote unquote gender diversity.

Diversity by Law

Numerous European companies have tried to enforce equality by creating quotas for corporate boards. Norway, Spain, and France have imposed legal quotas to increase board seats held by women. Currently, 37.9% of directors at Norway’s largest companies are women, with the 40% target legally required by 2017 for companies with 500 employees and annual sales of more than $71 million.

If there is only one woman on a board then it can be difficult. It is isolating and intimidating. If at least some numbers, then it will be more empowered about opening up and expressing doubts.

“Men are like driving standard transmission – if you move through the gears in the right order, you will get where you want to go – and women are like baking a souffle – the outcome depends on the ingredients and the chef, sure, but it also depends on the reliability of the oven, the altitude, the humidity of the day… more variables, more variability.” Dr. Emily Nagoski said in her book The Good in Bed Guide to Female Orgasms.

Evolutionarily, men are wired to spread their seed indiscriminately, while women are wired to cultivate; psychologically, inside every man is an insecure little boy who needs constant sexual approval; behaviorally, men respond to simple cues like visual stimulation, while women respond to complex emotional cues.

Male sexuality is viewed as simple, basic, natural instinct, female are much more complex with addition of mother nature, seeking for strong father hood for babies. Female sexual brain contains tons of dials and instruments, and there’s sophisticated calibration going on.

But are men really that simple? And are women really so different? In many cases, women certainly can have sex like men, women are indeed doing just like these single women in Sex and City. Plenty of women who don’t like to cuddle after sex, and plenty of men who do. There are also lots of women who love casual sex, and plenty of men who want sex to be part of an emotionally committed relationship. There are plenty of male “souflees.”

But if women can have sex like men, then men are also capable of having sex like women: with complex motivations. For example, men have done so simply for the sex or in the heat of the moment, but many of them cheat for more complex reasons – they were bored, emotionally disconnected in their relationship, depressed, or seeking passion.

And while it would seem that, in our age of Anthony Weiner, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and John Edwards, men are ruled by the passions of their penis, there are actually just as many men with low sexual desire as there are women.

So is female sexuality is really more complicated than male sexuality? It depends on the individual woman, and how she’s using sex at the time; same goes for the men. There are times when sex (and our desires) are simple and times when they’re more complex.

So is your sexuality like a light switch that goes on and off, or like a dimmer or volume knob that operates on a spectrum? More than likely, whether you’re a man or a woman, it’s both: You can be both switch or knob depending upon the context.

And sometime you’re probably a complex souflee. Women have sex for more than 200 reasons, ranging from love to pure pleasure to a sense of duty to curiosity to curing a headache. Why do men have sex? Can you count the reasons?

Women are happiest at 28

BBC survey shows that the happiest women are the age between 28 to 32. Over 4000 women between age of 25 and 65 were involved this study.

The study has proven that women start to feel successful in their careers at 29, get the most pleasure from sex at 28, and are the happiest about their personal life at 30. At 32 they reach the peak of financial stability and family happiness.One of the authors of the study commented that between 28 and 30 the woman’s hair and figure are in their best shape and thus the woman feels the utmost confidence in herself.

Women generously spend tremendous money on the maintenance of their attractiveness. An average investment on beauty products and services is $1000 annually (around $83 per month). Daily makeup application adds up to roughly five days a year, or 22 minutes per day.

It is also the period in their life when they enjoy the best sex – but the happiness is relatively short-lived. Because by the time they have turned 30 they start worrying about growing old and developing grey hair and wrinkles. A spokesman for home hair colour brand Clairol Perfect 10, which carried out the study of 4,000 women, said: “Everything in life hits its peak at some point, and nearly reaching your thirties isn’t so bad now.

The age of 28 has been pinpointed as the time in a woman’s life their hair looks the best, body shape is at its peak and confidence is at an all-time high.

Staying Young

But beyond all the studies and surveys, it’s really up to you what you make out of your life which in turn determines how you content you are, how happy you are and how old you feel. stay active, socialize with young minded peers, smiled often and treat yourself nice are certain guarantees for a young spirit and mind.

Really! What DO women want?

Isn’t this one of the most challenging questions of all time? We thought “what men want” was difficult, but this is even harder.
The epic struggle of mankind to figure out the inner workings of women is ages old. Even Sigmund Freud, the master of modern psychology, died trying to figure out women. It isn’t easy.

I had a friend once joke with me that “men mostly want sex, woman want the right to be hypocritical, yet call men on their inconsistencies.” No wonder men and women struggle to get along!

You may have heard the saying that nice guys finish last, but what about nice girls?

In this excerpt from her book Why Men Marry Bitches, author Sherry Argov reveals why men actually prefer a confident, secure woman (Argov’s definition of the word bitch) to one who lets her man take the reins in a relationship. She surveyed real men, who spilled exactly what makes or breaks their opinion of the women they meet — and it turns out that having your own life, making your own plans and not letting him win all the time only makes you more attractive.

So who says being a “bitch” is a bad thing? Not these guys! Here’s what they had to say:

• “The worst thing a woman can do is see a guy every night of the week. That’s how she becomes his good-time girl on his ‘reserve list.’ What will happen is, the guy will start coming over at nine o’clock and then he’ll leave by ten-thirty. If he gets access or what he wants from her anytime he wants it, he won’t have to lift a finger to keep it going.”
• “Men are competitive. When he buys a car that is a limited-edition model, he feels like he has something special. Guys in the street who race cars usually race for pink slips, because they want to win, conquer and take the other vehicle. That carries over to women. A woman who is easy won’t scratch his competitive itch. When she stops expressing her opinion and starts agreeing with everything he says, that’s usually when a man starts to feel bored.”
• “A woman should never go looking for him or chase him down at three different places where he said he might be having a drink. If he says, ‘Either I’ll be at the Cheesecake Factory or some bar on 26th,’ don’t try to track him down. If you want to be his ‘steady,’ let him come track you down.”"My fiancee was the first woman to put me in my place. She constantly reminds me, ‘Hey, nobody’s forcing you to stay.’ If I tried to BS my way out of a situation, she’d say, ‘Let me save you the time and energy. Don’t give me that s**t, because I ain’t buying it.’ I know if she caught me cheating she’d smack me over the head with a frying pan. And I respect her more than any woman I’ve ever known.”
• “If he can sum you up in one sentence, he’ll be bored.” Nuff said.
• “Confidence is when you don’t try to interpret or overly process everything that you are observing out loud. It prevents the relationship from progressing on a normal course. For example, every time I gave this woman flowers, she would remind me that her ex stopped bringing her flowers. What she really wanted to ask was whether I’d keep doing it in the future. That made me feel like she didn’t really enjoy the flowers or appreciate the present moment with me.”
• “A woman shouldn’t say, ‘You don’t call me enough,’ or, ‘You never tell me you love me.’ As a woman, your best asset is to be unpredictable. He should never be able to figure you out. When he can always predict what you are going to do next, you’ve lost him as a long-term partner. He’ll look for someone else whom he can’t understand or control.”
• “If she feels strongly about something, she’ll have a backbone. This woman is the woman he respects. Not a ‘melba toast’ cracker that crumbles with very little pressure.”
• “You have to seem like you aren’t giving yourself fully. ‘Here I am. Take me.’ Men want to be kept guessing. Think about it. When a guy picks out a movie, he wants to be on the edge of his seat from the very beginning. If someone doesn’t lose a limb or get shot and buildings aren’t blown up all within the first 20 minutes, he’ll think he got cheated out of 20 bucks.”
• “A woman shouldn’t even crack a joke about marriage. I was on a second date with a girl, and we are both from Ireland. Back home we have a saying, ‘If you kiss me you are going to have to marry me.’ If you have the desire to get married, never let a man know that up front. If you do, it’s the same as handing him a manual and telling him exactly how to dangle a carrot and play on your weaknesses.”
