How the Brazilians lower high cholesterol.

I read an article recently in UK’s Stylist magazine that had an article about how Brazil’s Health minister José Gomes Temporāo is on a quest to lower the population’s blood pressure. But get this…He’s not doing it with a healthy eating campaign. He’s not leading the country through the latest blood pressure lowering fitness craze. Health minister Temporāo is on a crusade to help Brazil’s citizen’s lower their blood pressure by encouraging them to have MORE SEX. Yes that’s right. The world’s sexiest country has gotten even sexier by making it sexy to have sex. [Whoo! *fans self*]

As if they needed ANOTHER reason to be on our list of sexiest places, but now their own government is encouraging people to have sex several times a week. I say, America needs to get on it and get like the brasileños.

Get it right. Keep it tight.

Kegel Exercises

It’s crazy to me that there are still women in the world who have never heard of or done this life changing exercise. If you are the type of woman to have sex often, whether you are in a committed relationship or you’re a woman of the night, you have to keep it tight if not for yourself then at least for him. But I hope you do it for yourself because it has a lot of health benefits.



If you didn’t realize before, your vagina is a muscle. When you overexert it, it has a tendency to lose its shape and vitality. So what do you do when your muscle becomes weak? You EXERCISE it!!!! That is where Kegel Exercises come in.

Kegel exercises (pronounced "kaygel") are a series of simple exercises you can do anywhere, any time that help to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.

What are the benefits?

Think about it. If there is anything you can do to drive your man wild when he has sex with you, a tight cooch will do it. But seriously, Kegel exercises are especially great for women who recently gave birth and want to tighten up loose vaginal muscles. It’s also great for older women who have urinary problems. Healthy women of any age can benefit from it sexually. And when you think about it, that’s what we all want right? A healthy sex life.

Kegel exercises are done by squeezing the muscles in the pelvic floor and holding for short periods of time.

Find the right muscles. One way to isolate the right muscle is by trying to stop the flow of urine the next time you go to the bathroom. The muscle you use to do that is the muscle you should engage while doing a Kegel. Another way to test is to put your finger into your vagina and try to squeeze it. Don’t be afraid to ask your gynecologist for help if you’re having a hard time finding the right muscle. The key is to isolate these pelvic floor muscles and use them alone. It’s easy to squeeze the muscles in the buttocks and abdomen at the same time, so pay attention to your body and make sure you’re working the right muscle.

Start slow and build up. If you’re new to Kegel exercise, start slow. Squeeze your pelvic muscle and hold for two to four seconds, then relax. Try to repeat 5 to 10 times. As this exercise gets easier, you can hold for longer periods of time and do increased repetitions.

Do your Kegels regularly: Once you have the technique down, you can do Kegel exercises any time and any place that you like. For instance, you could do a set every time you check your e-mail, or when you’re waiting for the bus, or stuck in traffic.

Also, when you become a novice with the Kegels, turn it up by adding Ben-Wa balls to the mix. Ben-Wa balls are little weighted metallic balls that you insert into your vagina that help you to control those pelvic muscles.



Try it one day when you are doing house work or just relaxing. Insert the Ben-Wa balls and walk around panty less to see how long you can go without them falling. The longer they stay in, the stronger your vajayjay.

Mmmm....Reflexology. The New Massage.

I remember when the beau first learned reflexology, he wanted to use me as his guinea pig. Not that I was going to tell him no. I recall having a headache that day and really not wanting to be bothered, but he persisted and it helped that he told me he could get rid of my headache with a simple touch.

Now no matter what I’m going through or what I’m doing my mind stays in the gutter, but he assured me that it wasn’t what I thought and that we’ll get to that later. But he could massage the headache away or rather reflex it away.

Of course I didn’t believe him, but I love and support him so I was willing to see what it was he had to offer. He took my hand in his and traced my palm with his fingers making my hand tingle. He started telling me about reflexology, the benefits, and then tried it out on me.

What is it?

Reflexology is a treatment that involves the application of gentle pressure to reflex points located on all of the surfaces of the feet and hands.

What are the benefits?

To name a few:

• Improves blood circulation
• Boosts immune system
• Relieves aches and pain
• Alleviates problems associated with the reproductive system
• Restores mental alertness
• Calms an overactive mind
• Reduces emotional turmoil
• Increases positive emotions
• Soothes fears and anxiety
• Encourages spiritual growth and development
• Reflexology, with the addition of aromatherapy, can help with emotional problems like depression or self-esteem.

The pressure circle technique

Usually performed using the pad of the thumb, it is particularly useful for treating more sensitive reflexes on the hand.

Step 1

Select an area on your left hand, and then, using your right thumb, circle gently and slowly over the area, keeping your thumb in contact with the point

Step 2

To practice on your partner, gently cup his or her right hand, palm facing up, in the palm of your left hand. Place your right hand, working themb on a reflex point on the palm of the receiver’s hand and then slowly and gently circle over the area, keeping your thumb in contact with the point. Note that any initial tenderness will quickly subside after a few pressure circles have been performed.
