Living with Rheumatoid Arthritis

 If you're reading this, chances are you or a loved one suffers from rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disorder that not only attacks the joints like other forms of arthritis, but organs like the heart and lungs as well. Rheumatoid arthritis, unlike many other kinds of arthritis, also usually affects both the right and left side of the body symmetrically. For instance, both your hands will be inflamed, rather than just one, making any task all the more difficult as you do not have one part of the body to lead over the other. This adds to the frustration of the disease, further hindering mobility. For those living with rheumatoid arthritis, whether they are in chronic pain or suffer from flares, there is no aspect of their life that is not affected by the disease.

| Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, affecting over 12 percent of the population. It wears away the cartilage, the tissue in the joints to prevent the bones from rubbing together. As the cartilage wears away it causes both pain and stiffness in the joint. Osteoarthritis most often occurs in the spine, hips, knees and hands. The degree of seriousness ranges from mild to debilitating, making each patient unique.

Preventing Osteoarthritis

|
| If you have a family history of osteoarthritis then you have a higher chance of developing the disease yourself. Besides genetic predisposition, osteoarthritis can be present in those who are overweight or those who routinely put stress on the particular joint. Injury is also a culprit. Osteoarthritis affects the joints in the body, most commonly the spine, hips, knees, feet and hands. It is caused by the wearing down of cartilage between these joints, causing bones to rub together. This causes discomfort and a decrease in mobility to the area.

In fact, the National Health and Social Life Survey (NHSLS) reports that 30% of men ejaculate prematurely.

|
| Yohimbine, also known as yohimbe, has been trumpeted as the Natural Viagra. It sounds great, from what you've heard - harder erections than you've ever imagined. But with a long list of dangerous side effects, you'll hardly be in the mood for sex even if your body's telling you otherwise. Yohimbe is the bark of a west-African evergreen tree that yohimbine, the active ingredient, is derived from. Yohimbine is the extract used for pharmaceutical purposes, and is the active ingredient in curing cases of male impotence. While it is being used for this function, yohimbine has not officially been approved as an erectile dysfunction medication, despite it being a prescription-only drug. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis.

Kegel Exercises for Men
Published : May 15, 2008 | Author : health | Unrated |
|
|
|
| Kegel exercises are the clenching and unclenching of the pubococcygeus muscles, or the PC muscles, in reps. Kegel exercises were first introduced in the 1950s by Dr. Arnold Kegel, an American gynaecologist. While originally designed for women after child birth, it became apparent pretty quickly that when men did the exercises it gave them more control over their ejaculation and enhanced the quality of their orgasms. Practicing Kegels is also a stepping stone to men learning how to have multiple orgasms.
