Emotional infertility - the problem of modern women

Scientists have named another reason for the decline of fertility rates in developed countries. It turns out, many women today are suffering from the so-called "emotional infertility", because of which refuse to bear children even from their partners.

That is, these women are physiologically quite able to become pregnant and have a baby, but do not do it, because they can not find a suitable candidate for the fathers. According to a survey of 3 thousand women, conducted for the magazine Red, over half of them women (54% respondents) did not give birth, because they do not find it necessary to paternity men. And in no hurry to acquire offspring, even women who are married and with his companion looks very happy couple.

According to sociologists, the modern ladies are becoming more selective. Unlike previous generations, they are much harder to put up with the shortcomings of choices, they are more rigid and intolerant.

"Today's woman, finding flaws in a partner, do not see it as a possible father of their children - which, however, does not prevent them to live with this person", - experts say. Some women are willing to go to a sperm bank, but would not use the genetic material that they have at hand. "

Inflated criteria when choosing a partner leads to the fact that even married women continue to search for an ideal father to his children, and can not come from the second half of pregnancy, the consensus in his own family. This, in particular, said 22% of women. Likewise shown emotional infertility . It is the main cause of the break in relations every six couples.

Scientists have penetrated the mystery of autism

Scientists from the Medical Center Beth Israel Deaconess in Boston created a mouse suffering from autism. This genetic experiment could help in the study and treatment of disorders in humans.

Mice with this genetic mutation in their social behavior showed almost the same all the deviations which are in humans suffering from autism spectrum disorder, also known as   Asperger's syndrome . This is a mild form of autism, where a person stored in a certain degree of ability to socialize and intellectual capabilities do not suffer.

In the UK alone by Asperger syndrome   today suffer 10 times more children than 30 years ago. Meanwhile, scientists are just as bad versed in the causes of the disease, as before.

Mouse with autism will not only help to better understand how the disorder occurs. Having extra copies of the gene Ube3a animal can be used to test new drugs. Now used only drugs able to control the symptoms of autism, such as aggression and hyperactivity. But there is no medicine to get rid of the disorder is not yet available.

Moisturizing creams cause skin dryness!

What is your favorite moisturizer might actually be the main cause of dry skin. Experts believe that creams and lotions for the skin bring far more harm than good.

Even if you are skeptical to the entire industry of products for skin care, one way certainly always available in your arsenal - it moisturizing cream   for face. According to statistics, 59% of all sales of goods from the category of women's care products for skin, it is necessary on moisturizers . But always they produce the effect, which we expect? Experts not convinced.

For example, a British plastic surgeon Dr. Chris Ingefeld believes moisturizers   so good at their job, the skin over time, "forgets" how to naturally moisturized. Indeed, in normal conditions, it moisturizes the skin herself, producing a natural moisturizing factor (NMF). Their amount depends on the environment. If you're somewhere in the sunny, tropical place, the skin produces more NUF. If you do cover it with artificial moisturizer , The allocation of NFE is suspended.

"When your skin is healthy, it does not need moisturizers, she can cope with this task, - says Dr. Ingefeld. - Moisturizers create similar to the film barrier that does not allow NFE to stand out from the lower layers of the skin. It blocks the natural recovery mechanism. And as soon as you stop using moisturizers your skin immediately becomes very dry. "

"Women are advised to use moisturizers for skin health, but they do not help - says Julie Chichoki managing director of brand Karin Herzog, the generating line of natural products for the skin, which adores Kate Middleton. - Shoppers every day asking us what kind of moisturizer is best to choose, and we say, "No! Forget about them! ". We have the cream of the category" humectants "that do not actually moisturizes. Just gives people a psychological feeling that their skin moisturized. But in reality, it provides the balance of the skin and helps take care of themselves."

How to keep hair clean longer

Complaints that hair quickly lose their freshness and become ugly, unkempt hair-skilled Trichology have to listen to most often. Indeed, how to solve this problem?

However, if on the second day after washing your hair look too stale to you laying there? Yes, and I do not always want to put her hair in her hair, like many women just casually loose curls. Here are some tips that will help them to look as much as possible clean.

Do not wash the head.   Some trichologists believe that the need to frequently wash your hair shampoo is beneficial only to producers. In fact, the hair need to arrange a bath 1-2 times a week.

Encourage your hair to a particular mode of washing.   Many women wash their hair every day, and advice on how to wash them once a week, it seems absurd. They think: if you do not wash, you have to leave the house with a dirty head.

In reality, the more we my head, the faster it gets dirty, because each washing washes away from the skin surface of the hair and scalp's natural defenses. If the "train" your hair to wash more rare, it is not right, but "obey" - will improve the natural regulator of sebum, the hair will be less likely to need washing.

Do not wash your hair with hot water.   Heat promotes strengthening of the sebaceous glands, resulting in a large amount of sweat produced and fat. As a consequence - the hair very quickly become dirty in appearance. For the same reason it is not recommended to use the hair dryer often.

Correct use means against dry hair ends.   Using air conditioners and creams for their moisturizing hair, take care to cosmetics fell only on the damaged ends. Incorrect use of these tools leads to the fact that the already quickly salted the hair roots become even fatter faster and get dirty.

Who is happier, "larks" and "owls"?

Do you want to be more fit, happy and healthy person? Get up early to bed in the morning, as recommended by the researchers.

Those of us who refuse to ignore the alarm clock in the morning to pull out 20-30 more minutes of sleep is of great benefit to their physical and mental health. But those who can not resist the morning slumber, have a higher chance of becoming a victim of depression or stress, and get extra weight.

Researchers surveyed 1,068 adults about their level of happiness and anxiety, physical health, food preferences and attitudes to sleep. It was found that among them are both " larks "(Getting up before 7am) and "owl"   (waiting until 9 am). On weekends the two categories of people allow themselves to sleep an extra hour or so - "larks"   rest to 8 am, and "owl"   to 10.

"There are so-called morning and evening people - said study author Dr. Jörg Hube of Roehampton University. - We found that getting up early to be more happy and healthy, and also more likely to have lower body mass index. This may be due to the fact that "larks"   I have to wake the children, preparing them for school, which charges the energy that allows you to better cope with the current pace of life. Perhaps the morning people feel better in the industrialized world than the evening. "However, the differences between morning and evening people are not too significant.

Contraceptives destroy the psyche of the ladies

Outbursts of anger, depression, frustration, mood swings ... It turns out that all well-known side effects of contraceptives are available, about which few people know.

It is known that   oral contraceptives   They have a number of side effects, which are reported in the instructions carefully. It nausea, weight gain and the risk of developing deep vein thrombosis. But almost nobody knows about the dangers tablets are central nervous system of women.

Last week, scientists from the University of Stirling in the UK have shown that oral contraceptives   It affects the way some men choose a woman. Taking pills opted for reliable, stable and caring men who are not very inventive in bed. Rather than take selected this Don Juan who like adventure.

There is a theory that contained in the contraceptive hormones estrogen and progesterone do not allow women to rush into the arms of a macho, because on a subconscious level, these men are not considered as reliable fathers. However, this side effect is nothing wrong with that. But there are much more serious complications.

For example, the level of depression in women taking contraceptives is 17, 6%, and do not take only 9, 8%. For several years, scientists are exploring the link between oral contraceptives and decreased libido. The study of German scientists with the participation of 1,000 women found that the tablets significantly inhibit arousal and sexual desire.

It is reported about complications such as outbursts of anger and powerful mood swings as contraceptives with low estrogen doses worsen the psychological mood of women in contrast to the non-hormonal contraceptive pill or a high-estrogen. In general, the impact of tablets on the mental state of women have yet to explore. But it is clear that the text of the instructions can be rewritten today.

Contraceptives will nonhormonal!

Polina Lishko University of California came up with the idea of ​​non-hormonal contraceptives. They can become a breakthrough in drug industry for birth control, since it does not have any side effects.

Dr. Lishko and colleagues caught signal "fertile attraction" between egg and sperm. Laboratory experiments have shown that the hormone that releases the egg is ready for fertilization, contains some sort of message to the sperm, which is less than a minute leads to a reaction.

This discovery, details of which are published in the scientific journal Nature, is the theoretical possibility of creating non-hormonal contraceptive That will work by turning off the data signals. Such drugs are, in turn, can displace from the market common birth control pills , As the new tablets will not have any side effects .

Polina Lishko conducted experiments on mice and on human sperm. She was able to measure the electrical signal that controls the movements of the sperm in their journey toward the egg. It turned out that if the sperm gets charge of progesterone (a hormone produced by cells surrounding the egg), the electric signal is amplified, and it makes the sperm move faster. Their ability to penetrate into the egg it increases.

Existing birth control pills   work due to the impact of hormones to suppress ovulation, ie developing egg. Unfortunately, these drugs have some pretty nasty side effects, increasing the risk of some types of cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Therefore it is very important that doctors informed young mothers about the possibilities of a new pregnancy and the need to start oral contraceptives ".

Researchers believe that xanthelasma   It can be used to determine the risk of cardiovascular diseases   where other risk factors for these diseases manifest themselves enough. The study found the presence or absence xanthelasma   in 12 939 people. Of these, 1 903 heart attacks occurred later, at the 3761 developed ischemic heart diseases And 8663 died within 33 years, lasted until observation.

Xanthelasma   predicted increased by 51% the risk of heart attack and a 40% risk of coronary heart diseases . Holders xanthelasma   risk of death from heart was increased by 17% after adjusting for other well-known risk factors, including blood cholesterol levels.

Danish scientists obtained data can be used for therapeutic purposes. And if doctors are finding patients during regular check-ups xanthelasma , They will recommend a special attention to follow the work of the heart and blood vessels. Moreover, such people should be more likely to undergo preventive examinations by specialists.

Dark chocolate is shown in hypertensive patients

Researchers from Louisiana State University found out why dark chocolate is so good for our health. It turns contained in the human stomach microbes turn cocoa beans into a natural medicine that lowers blood pressure.

Science has long been noticed that the use of dark chocolate   It helps to reduce the pressure, but the reasons for this were unknown. American scientists have found out that the whole thing in the process of digestion. When the chocolate is processed in the stomach, while the destruction of some of its components gastric microbes produce molecules that act like real-inflammatory drugs.

This "medicine" into the bloodstream and helps to protect arteries from damage. Dark chocolate   healthy dairy in that it contains significantly higher levels of cocoa beans. Researchers tested three types of cocoa powder - an ingredient for the manufacture of chocolate. All of them were placed in an "artificial stomach", which is a laboratory container from several modified chemical tubes.

The cocoa beans contain polyphenols antioxidants such as catechin and epicatechin, as well as a certain amount of dietary fiber. These components are poorly digested, but efficiently recycled "friendly" bacteria of the intestine. The study found that the fibers pass through the fermentation and large polyphenol polymers are converted into smaller molecules that are more easily absorbed by the body.

"Small polymers exhibit anti-inflammatory activity, - said study author Dr. John Finlay. - When they assimilated the body, inflammation of the weakening of the cardiovascular tissue, which reduces the pressure, and with them the risk of stroke ". (READ MORE)

Half of the antibiotics already useless

Up to half of all antibiotics prescribed by doctors to combat the spread of infection, they are useless as the researchers from the University of Cardiff. This is due to the growth of so-called "superbugs" - resistant to medications pathogens.

Treatment with antibiotics

Humanity is rapidly It is approaching the point at which pneumonia, tuberculosis, and septicemia again become deadly infections. Uncontrolled antibiotic treatment That people receiving from any chepuhovoy colds, has meant that the bacteria It has developed resistance to this type of drugs. According to the study, Today nearly 50% of all such drugs completely useless.

The study authors followed the 11 million courses of antibiotics, which discharged patients in the UK the last 22 years to treat a wide range of diseases, including tonsillitis, pneumonia and ear infections. Average, antibiotic treatment   It proved ineffective in every sixth case, but in some cases these medicines did not help more than half diseases.

According to experts, resistance to antibiotics is one of the major threats It faced a modern health care system. Despite this, GPs practices continue to prescribe these drugs virtually unlimited amount. Some doctors admitted that they do so "in order to get rid of the patients. "

Antibiotics: Pros and Cons

Some parents believe that taking antibiotics - the best option so as not to run the disease, others - refused to give their child, even when it is needed. Yes, and the ratio of doctors to antibiotics ambiguous ... Who is right and who - no?

To give or not

It is important to use antibiotics only when they are indispensable to manage and choose the one or the other drug with the "sniper" tochnostyu.Antibiotiki indispensable in acute inflammation caused by bacterial infection - pneumonia, sinusitis, acute otitis severe, abscesses and many other serious diseases.

But they are powerless in front of viruses. That is why, for example, cold or flu, many acute intestinal infections apply them meaningless. But some mothers believe that it is necessary to prevent possible complications. Yes, and pediatricians often prescribe them after "cold", it is often totally unjustified. Antibiotics do not prevent complications and can be used only if the now secondary infection. This is indicated by symptoms such as high temperature return after treatment, increased cough, the appearance of shortness of breath, complaining of severe pain in the ears, throat and so on. D.

Rationally, then - effectively

Many parents believe that the most efficient, reliable and safe - a new generation of antibiotics. This is true, but it does not mean that they need child.

Antibiotics are known to have a selective effect: one (narrow spectrum) are 1-2 against bacterial species, others (broad spectrum) - against several.

Generation antibiotics, popularly speaking, these and primarily differ from each other. On the one hand - it is good, on the other - not very. And not just because the antibiotic with a broad spectrum would destroy various pathogens in addition also many useful inhabitants of the intestinal microflora. The main danger is that the next time to use it is unlikely to be possible. And the drug will have to choose another "powerful", to increase the dose. Therefore, the main purpose of the antibiotic principle should be the principle of minimal sufficiency: that is, if you can pick up an antibiotic for an adequate range of effects, a "wide" is not necessary: ​​should start "simple".

How to avoid mistakes?

The ideal is to choose the right antibiotic is necessary to conduct bacteriological research - to identify exactly which pathogen has caused the disease, and to make a test for sensitivity to a particular drug. For this example, purulent otitis smear taken from the ear, at cough phlegm examined, in inflammatory processes in the urinary system - urine, etc. D. The results will be ready within 2-6 days. But in practice, most of the doctor prescribes antibiotics empirically, based on their own experience and knowledge. In principle, it is normal, if in front of him - the story of a child's illness.

But we often go from one clinic to another, appeal to various specialists, ranging from scratch. Therefore, parents need to know by heart and tell the doctor the following: whether the child has gastrointestinal disease, liver, kidney, endocrine disorders, he is inclined to allergic reactions, whether received antibiotics before, exactly what and when.

The fact that bacteria rather quickly develop resistance to the drug and reuse it is unable to handle them. Therefore, in such situations immediately prescribe antibiotics of the second generation, which has a wide range of actions.

Fears imaginary and real

Rumors about the dangers of antibiotics a lot, to the point that they have a toxic effect on the kidneys, the liver, the nervous system and the hematopoietic system, can cause a decrease in visual acuity, hearing, and so on. D.

In fact, the correct choice and use of antibiotics such things excluded.

But individual reactions "rejection" - nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain - it is likely (even if the antibiotic chosen correctly). When symptoms such child should drink plenty of liquids (water is suitable, juice, weak tea with lemon). We can give an activated carbon or other sorbent. And, of course, need to contact your doctor.

There may be an allergic reaction, despite the fact that they were assigned antihistamines. Allergy can manifest in different ways: rash, itching, swelling, shortness of breath, up to an asthmatic attack. In such a situation should immediately consult a doctor, he decides - to cancel an antibiotic at all or replaced by another.

Operation - Rehabilitation

But even if the treatment goes well, it is important to know: the antibiotics inevitably alter the intestinal microflora. To avoid dysbiosis, we need protective measures. During antibiotic treatment prescribed Prebiotics - drugs that contain fiber, which creates the conditions for settlement bowel useful microorganisms.

After completion of the course used probiotics - drugs containing useful laktobakterin, bifidobakterin. And, of course, necessary corrective diet: first of all - dairy products, and fruits and vegetables (carrots, zucchini, tomatoes, cucumbers, apricots, unsweetened apples). It is important to suppress and putrefaction in the intestines - an excellent job with this cranberry, cranberries, sour fruits and berries, fresh juices, ready-made meals is to add fresh onions and garlic. And do not forget about the porridge - but you need to cook them in the water, rather than milk. But pastries, pasta, sweets on time will have to severely limit.

Is old girl begs for help

26-year-old Nguyen Thi Puong from Vietnam says that only a few days to grow old for 50 years. The story seems amazing, but the official science puts forward a different version.

These images are similar to the image of a charming girl and her grandmother. Although in reality it is pictures of the same person, only made every few days. At least, this is trying to convince journalists 26-year-old Nguyen. Back in 2008, it is a few days mysteriously grow old But she had no money to seek help from doctors.

Now the history of Vietnamese became known to the whole world, and many physicians have declared that they are ready to explore Nguyen for free. However, while that patient is not in a hurry for a visit that reinforces doubts about the truth of her version. However, her husband Nguyen Thanh Tuyen Carpenter claims that all the words of his wife - the absolute truth, and it really   grow old   in a few days.

Allegedly, the last three years she always wears a mask on his face to hide the old man's skin. And dreamed about how doctors help her restore youth. Nguyen believes that it was caused by the aging of the sudden allergic to seafood. It all started with a strong itching, but women do not seek help because of a lack of funds, and preferred to use the medicine from the pharmacy, and folk remedies. Soon, her skin began to quickly grow old and covered with wrinkles.

According to some doctors, in theory, this effect may be caused by the use of Vietnamese traditional potions, which are often added to corticosteroids. Steroids can run a rare skin disease mastocytosis   (accumulation of mast cells in the skin). There is a theory about the influence of Cushing's syndrome or lipodystrophy. However, Nguyen apparently does not look like a victim of the disease, but actually looks very old lady. Probably so it attracts attention and sponsorship money, and expects to make a plastic free.

Diet drinks can not be pregnant!

Pregnant women should avoid the use of "dietary"   soft drinks, according to researchers. These beverages are used, artificial sweeteners, which can lead to premature delivery.

Researchers from the Statens Serum Institute in Copenhagen, headed by Professor Torahallurom Haldorssonom studied more than 60,000 pregnant women in Denmark and found that those ladies who drank artificially sweetened water (both carbonated and not) often give birth prematurely.

Only one such drink per day were sufficient to ensure that the risk of premature delivery   (before 37 weeks) increased by 38%. And women who consumed up to four servings of these drinks a day, the risk grew by 78%. In non-carbonated beverages effect was weaker, and the connection between sugar and drink premature birth   It was detected at all.

Scientists believe that the blame Artificial sweeteners That in women converted into chemicals can affect the uterus. The study is published in the journal American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. In the study, scientists have not figured out exactly what Artificial sweeteners   contained in beverages.

However, the effect of such drinks in women whose miscarriage were caused intends not be traced. This suggests that the drinks are not directly lead to premature birth, but they contribute to these changes in the body, when the birth becomes necessary. Perhaps this is due to the drop in blood pressure or development of diabetes. The exact cause of the scientists have not yet figured out.

Antidepressants harm the eyes

Canadian researchers have found another dangerous side effect of antidepressants - is the risk of developing cataracts. And it is about modern and relatively easily portable group of medicines.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors   (SSRIs), according to a study published in the journal Ophthalmology, increase the risk of cataracts   15%. That is the conclusion reached by researchers from the Institute for Coastal Health Research in Vancouver.

They examined information on 19 thousand patients aged 65 years and older who suffer from cataracts, and compared it with information about 19 thousand people in the control group. It was found that drugs such as Luvox, increase the risk of cataracts   39%, Effexor - 33%, and Paxil - 23%. All these antidepressants   are included in the category with elektivnyh serotonin reuptake inhibitors .

"We have a lens in front of serotonin receptors, and animal studies have shown that an excessive amount of this substance can result in the loss of lens transparency, which in turn will be the beginning of cataract formation," - said the head of the study, Dr. Maillard Etminan.

However, some antidepressants showed his cataract-related, but the exact cause of this remains to be clarified. Perhaps this was due to the presence of certain specific agent in the composition of medicines.

Pregnant women are allowed to eat oily fish

Pregnant women can eat oily fish, despite the fact that it contains a risk to human health mercury. Scientists have found that the amount of metal in the fish is small, and the benefits of fish far outweighs any risk.

the diet of pregnant women

Until recently, doctors recommended to women during pregnancy to minimize the number of oily fish   in the diet. It was believed that this product contains mercury, a metal that is a considerable danger to the unborn child brain. Therefore, pregnant women often refused to tuna, mackerel, sardines, salmon and trout, or keep the number of fish to a minimum.

However, large-scale study, which was attended by more than 4000 pregnant women from the English Bristol, found that concerns about the amount of mercury oily fish   at the diet of pregnant women   exaggerated. In fact, the share of fish accounts for only 7% of the mercury contained in the female body. But other food and beverage woman receives 17%. A significant source of mercury in the body are also dental fillings, pesticides and harmful emissions.

So give up fatty fish due to mercury concerns should not be. Moreover, this product has a number of useful properties. It contains large amounts of omega-3, a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system and recommended, including during pregnancy.

The study also revealed that in the use of herbal tea levels of mercury in the blood of women increases. Perhaps this is due to the infection of plants of various kinds of pesticides. A white wine increases the level of stronger beer. But eating fried potatoes and white bread reduces the amount of mercury in the female body. (READ MORE)

Proved that a woman - a slave of sexual fantasies

Women are even more slaves of their hormones than it was assumed. Scientists have found that during the period of ovulation in women marked the most vivid and disturbing sexual fantasies.

Canadian researchers from the University of Lethbridge in Alberta found that a single woman has more sexual fantasies   in the most fertile period of their menstrual cycle, than in any other period of months. In the same period it marked not only the maximum burst of fantasy, but also the highest excitement. All this, of course, has an impact on the physical desire of women to find a partner.

"I wanted to study women sexual fantasies Because they are not limited by the presence or absence of men - he told reporters author Dr. Samantha Dawson. - Consequently, the increase in the intensity of the fantasies and increase sexual arousal associated with them, is a reflection of increased sexual interest in women at mid-cycle. "

Research has affected 27 heterosexual women ages 18 to 30 who did not consist in a committed relationship and not taking hormonal contraceptives. Each of these women filled the diary for the month in which record all their sexual fantasies .

Scientists have identified a 10-day period of each woman, for which she was most fertile, by simple calculations on the basis of past periods. During these intervals the women handed over analyzes of urine, allowing to calculate the exact day of ovulation.

When the final calculations proved that women experiencing 0, 77 fantasy day. However, during the three days of ovulation fantasies increased amount to 1 to 3 hours. In addition, own fantasies figured more men.

The myth of the perfect woman

When Mary Poppins performed by Natalia Andreichenko sings about his goodness, I honestly do not believe it. But Mary Poppins away, much closer to the women who need to constantly make sure in its ideal. And here the problems begin ...

The theory that the man on our sinful earth came from Mars, and women - are from Venus, I know. However, it seems doubtful scientific validity (and sure, not me alone). But the direction in principle is correct. Understanding between the man and woman about the same as between repeaters Sidorov and an excellent student (athlete and simply beautiful) Sinitsina from my home school number 23. That is little of it, this understanding, if not more.

No, women, of course, able to understand men .  But first they need to cry, to send two dozen SMS app like "I was wrong about you .  It's all over between us! "Valerian to drink so that the whole house smelled, and tell you a secret around the world, with some insensitive dolt each of them have to live .  They really can sympathize .  All of them five minutes to perfection .  And if not for a teaspoon of tar, their ideal, consider, it would be wholly .  But alas, .  On the way to the ideal is bound to be some insurmountable obstacle .  Husband and inappropriate salaries, fool-chief, insidious rival .  Overweight finally .  And when a woman asks, "Do not you think that I have recovered? "And hears in reply," Yeah! "Because it's true, it really hurt .  After all, she said, it was not to hear from men confession - not questioning the investigator still .  Denial shortcomings, according to the women's logic - is the shortest path to perfection, which she so stubbornly wants to achieve .

In men, everything is easier, or if you want more primitive. Therefore, they respond directly to the question, as to the spirit. "What are you thinking, dear? - On Saturday fishing. "And then boil the bitter tears of the women's grievances. Answer this bumpkin unshaven again left her with no chance for the title of the ideal woman.

Living together would be easier if the woman is not required of men standing recognition of its merits. The man is sincere bewilderment that compliments your soulmate is necessary not only during the "candy-buketnogo period" of relations, but also after. It discusses how the male mind? The hunt is over, mining (sorry!) Next, sex - here it is, my reach. This task is completed, and stay on dude lavishes compliments somehow meaningless. A woman misinterprets it for calm male indifference and sees the reason in their own imperfection. It is hard looking at non-ideal characteristics, and, of course, is. She stands next to a man and pokes himself in the imperfect place, "Here, you see this, this and this? That's why, right? ". The man eyeing. And really starting to see what he would have never noticed. Then it ceases to believe in the ideal of women.

Of course, the woman is unlikely to agree to live with a man who will not repeat it that we know so well - what is it beautiful, long-legged and her dress is especially the face. But if it's so important to make sure in its ideal, it is necessary to hide from the men to show their weaknesses and their dignity. I do not 'think I dropped ass "and" dear, look what I have form, and it is only two weeks. " Not "maybe we shall weld on bystrenkomu sausage", and "today we have awesome soup."

Believe me, to convince the man that he got the perfect woman, is not so difficult.

Moreover, even very healthy men refuse to go to the doctor, thereby triggering the disease. This explains the fact that older men are much more likely to die from cancer than their peers women who belong to their own health more seriously.

Every hour in the UK from prostate cancer dying man, but many still do not know its main symptoms, such as difficulty with urination, and blood in the urine. Research has shown that these symptoms are known only 59% of men. For comparison, 82% of women may detect signs of breast cancer. As for tumors of the stomach, then only 55% of men over 50 who took part in the study were able to correctly identify them, while among women the figure was three-quarters.

Women will bear all later

Scientists believe that the fashion for later generations sooner or later lead to the evolution of the female body. And after a while women will become much more fertile between the ages of 35 and older.

More women in developed countries lay childbearing   35 years later, as they prefer to engage in a career first. Alas, have children at such a late age is not that many, success comes only to those who have so-called long fertility gene .

But this gene is inherited. And the more often give birth "late mothers", respectively, the more likely children are born already having this gene, which in turn will allow them to give birth and later. Thus, purely arithmetically the number of people increases, and this leads to the gradual evolution of the female body. After several generations of fertility among women 35 and older will increase by several times.

Scientists from the University of Sheffield conducted a study which showed that early childbearing earlier was caused by including the social order. Women marry early and left a widow, they could not get married again because of age and the inability to have children.

Today, marriage and pregnancy at all times postponed "until later." And the nature of the female body adapts to these changes. "As a result of this process of natural selection, which supports female fertility at a relatively young age, may weaken, and fertility in adulthood, on the contrary, strengthened that manifest most clearly in a few generations," - says Professor at the University of Sheffield, Duncan Gillespie.
