How love keeps you healthy

Get in the mood

A fulfilling relationship with your partner helps you overcome your daily challenges-a difficult boss, rush hour traffic, rising prices and random rudeness from strangers-and multiplies your joys. You have something (or someone) to fall back on every day (thank God!). You are calmer and securer. How could that not be good for you? But it's not just that feeling of high, or the sense of security that makes love so wonderful.

There's emerging evidence about the physical benefits of love too: sex, kinship and caring all improve heart health, boost immunity, lower stress and give that wow glow to your skin! In fact, it may not be long before doctors prescribe steamy sex, romantic getaways and compassionate communication in addition to a healthy diet, exercise and sleep. Sounds good? Explore love with your partner to bring on happiness and cash in on the health gains.

Love protects your heart

A 2007 study from the University of Pittsburgh found that women who are in good marriages or relationships have a much lower risk of heart disease than those in high-stress ones. "This is possibly because being in a loving relationship reduces stress, which is a major risk factor for heart disease," explains Dr Anil Mishra,medmedical director and senior consultant interventional cardiologist at Kolkata's BM Birla Heart Research Centre. 

It's equally beneficial for men: men who have sex twice or more a week are up to 45% less likely to have a heart attack and stroke than those who have sex once a month or less, according to several studies.

It keeps you disease-proof

Studies have shown that lovemaking increases the levels of immunoglobulin A, an antibody that is the body's first line of defence in fighting bugs that cause diseases and infections. This gives your immunity an overall boost helping you keep diseases at bay. 

One of the most concrete pieces of evidence comes from a study by Carl J Charnetski, PhD, a professor of psychology at Wilkes University and co-author of Feeling Good Is Good for You. He measured the immune function of 112 college students, many of whom were in close, loving relationships. 

He found that those who had sex with their partner once or twice a week had higher amounts of immunoglobulin A than those who had sex less than once a week or not at all. Charnetski was, however, surprised to discover that the immune systems of those who had sex three or more times a week werecomparable to the no-sex group. According to Charnetski, the possible explanation for this was that "couples who have sex just once a week are simply in healthier, more secure relationships and have nothing to prove."

It helps you fight cortisol

"Research on the neurobiology of love has shown its impact on several hormones and neuro-transmitters," says Prevention advisor Dr Prabha S Chandra, professor of psychiatry, National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro-Sciences (NIMHANS), Bengaluru. Romantic love, triggers the release of several neuro-transmitters such as dopamine, neuro-hormones like oxytocin and neuro-peptides like endorphin, that have an overall bearing on stress and well-being. 

"These happy chemicals have a positive effect on your cerebral (and physical) ambience and seem to dispel disease-and-stress-inducing negative chemicals," explains Dr Jitendra Nagpal, senior consultant psychiatrist, Vidyasagar Institute of Mental Health and Neuro-Sciences (VIMHANS) and MoolchandMedcity, New Delhi. The release of oxytocin, for example, evokes feelings of contentment, calmness and a sense of security focussed around your partner. Combined, all of these help to reduce stress.

Sex, experts emphasise, is only one aspect of love, important, but not as powerful as the real magic in relationships-bonding. That sense of being united, even when bad times strike, is what Brian Baker, a psychiatrist at the University of Toronto, calls cohesion. And Baker's research has found that cohesion is crucial to both health and happiness (more than a good sex life!). 

In one study, he tracked 229 adults under job strain. Though they had higher BP to begin with, spouses in pleasurable marriages actually helped to lower systolic BP by 2.5 mm/Hg over a 12-month period.

He also found that happy couples seem to know almost instinctively that doing things together and spending more time with each other adds to their happiness (see Work Out Together and Come Closer). It's not that sex didn't matter to these couples. "It's one component of satisfaction, but at the end of the day it was their emotional collaboration that kept the marriage strong," Baker adds.

It keeps you fit

Sex is a fantastic workout! Says Dr Sudhakar Krishnamurti, andrologist, micro-surgeon, sexual medicine expert, and founder of Andromeda Andrology Centre, Hyderabad, "A vigorous round of sex can burn mega calories!" Studies say it can vary from 85 to 200 calories depending on the intensity and duration. 

This is the equivalent of walking between half an hour to an hour on the treadmill. "If it's vigorous, the pulse rate rises to about 150, which is equivalent to an athlete's pulse rate at maximum effort. Plus, the sexual act builds the muscles of the pelvis, buttocks, thighs, arms, neck and the thorax," says Krishnamurti. 

Mumbai-based Reebok master trainer Vinata Shetty explains that the pelvic floor muscles that you build through sex not only prevent conditions like urinary continence but also lead to improved core strength.

It makes your skin glow

Sex increases blood circulation which pumps oxygen into your skin, making it glow. "Also, when you are happy (and love does makes you happy, right?), your endocrine system (that regulates your hormones) functions properly, creating a good oestrogen-progesteron balance that has a good effect on your skin," explains Mumbai-based dermatologist Dr Aparna Santhanam.

Get in the mood for love, people. Getting healthy will never be so much fun!

A lesson in love : Vidya Balan

I've learnt my share of lessons on love the hard way, like everyone else. But in retrospect, we rarely absorb anything from what we learn. This usually results in walking into a pole with the knowledge of being hit face first. And while we believe that stars lead a far more superficial life than us, there are times when they surprise us with a generous display of human feelings.

So, when I met Vidya Balan, she mentioned an incident that taught her a lesson that she remembers for life. The lesson was if you loves someone and feel for that person, don't hold back in expressing your true feelings.

The incident dates back to Vidya's childhood. There used to be an old watchman who was a favourite among all the kids in Vidya's colony. They dotingly called him Abi. Apart from playing with the kids, he would often treat them to fruits and considered the kids to be his own. Then there was a time when Abi was diagnosed with a disease and was rarely seen about. While some of Vidya's friends went to visit him to wish him a steady recovery, Vidya, for some reason, didn't.

Later, Abi died and it was established that he was suffering from a terminal disease. This shattered Vidya completely. She didn't know what to do or how to express herself in this unforeseen situation.

While shutting herself at home, she tried to rationalize what had happened. On self-reflection, she discovered that she should've gone to see Abi when he was ailing and expressed her love and respect for him. But since she held back, it was too late.

Vidya's lesson has something for all of us. So, if you're waiting to tell a loved one exactly how you feel about them, pick up the phone and do it now! Life rarely offers a second chance.

5 Tips to Keep Your Girl Friend Happy

Article on 5 Tips to keep your girl happy. List of ways which can make
your girlfriend happy and satisfied with the relationship. Includes
not lying, never breaking promises, paying attention to her, helping
in household chores, remembering special dates.

When a relationship fails, it leaves one wondering what went wrong in
an absolutely perfect relationship. Some relationships aren't able to
stand the test of time due to the various differences between the
couple.

These differences do not crop up within a single day and it takes
various steps to lead a relationship to its breakdown. From a woman's
perspective, here are 5 tips which can help you guys make your
relationship a better experience for your girl and yourself as well.
As the saying goes, "Sometimes love just ain't enough," hence, we
bring you certain tips that might help you fill the void that has been
growing with every passing day.

Don't Lie

It is an open secret that most, if not all, men lie. While some lie
about trivial things, some lie about things of much greater
significance. However, the very act of lying isn't justified under any
means. Nobody likes being lied to which is the case with women as
well. They might forgive you for lying but they certainly don't forget
that easy. The fact that lied to her once gives the notion that you
might do the same again and again. The very act brings about a dip in
the trust factor which is crucial in every relationship.

Try Not to Break Promises

No, promises are not meant to be broken! Once you make a promise to
your girl, try to keep it. A girl pins a great deal of expectations to
every single promise you make. Each promise that you break leads to
disappointment, which shouldn't have any room in a relationship.

Pay Attention

You are undisputedly the centre of the world for your girl so, she
expects you keep in mind the little things that matter much to her.
While it may not be humanely possible to remember names of her entire
clan, it certainly isn't that difficult to listen to what she says.
Paying attention to small details and remembering some of them would
make her feel wanted and also show her that you are equally interested
in even the tiniest details of her life.

Offer to Help

For a couple, it is important to share the workload. You might be the
busiest person on this planet but you still owe some contribution
towards the household work. While she may not expect you to go out of
your way and do all the chores yourself, she would at the least expect
you to offer to help. Remember, a small gesture goes a long way in
building a strong level of bond between the two of you.

Remember Those Special Dates

Forgetting her birthday or your anniversary is so not cool. Many of
you may think that dates are not really that important and that it
shouldn't make any difference in the kind of relationship that you
share. Fact is, special dates give you an excuse to celebrate your
togetherness and also remind her that you do care. Making that little
effort on your part will only make her feel happier and re-assure her
that

If he cheated on me once will he do it again?

If he cheated on me once he will do it again?

Infidelity is one of the main reasons for which couples get to divorce. Are there any couples that survive the love affairs of one of the partners? Are they strong enough to get over the pain caused by finding out that the person you thought would never betray you has proved to be the worst mistake of your life?

Some claim they have cheated on their partner to feel alive and because they were the only one who took decisions in the house. Whenever you are having an affair it means that something goes wrong in the relationship.

Once the rest of the persons around you find out that your husband cheated on you they will all advise you not to trust him anymore because he will repeat what he has done whenever he has the chance.

Psychologists claim that men are much more vulnerable and they can't resist the temptation of having a younger lover because they feel more "men" when they do so, especially when their wives always reproach them they are not good enough, that they regret having got married to them.

If you discover that your husband is cheating on you what do you do? Do you ask him the divorce or do you give him a second chance? There are all kinds of men, every of them with another perspective on life and with other things to think at. Some of them regret what they have done and won't repeat the experience because they really care about their wife and their marriage. Others wait a while and do the same thing, this time being more careful so that the wife doesn't find out the truth because now he will get the divorce papers on his desk.

Many experts have drawn the conclusion that a woman should not the end their marriages only due to an extramarital affair which will end one way or another.

Everybody deserves a second chance so you could do that for your husband too. If he disappoints you again you know where the door is and he surely knows the way out.
