First of all, it should be noted that to perform intimate toilet is two times a day: after awakening and before going to bed, and in severe heat - and in the middle of the day. Also, it should be dealt with after swimming in the pool, where water is chlorinated, as well as bathing in the natural, fresh and salt waters, and after major sports and physical activities.
Still, to avoid harm to intimate areas of the body, should refrain from wearing synthetic clothes and too close, as well as strong clothing. In addition, intimate hygiene should only buy in big stores, which increases the guarantee of quality goods. And to use such funds after expiry date can not be.

In addition, intimate hygiene should be natural, without artificial colors, and should not contain alkali. Also, do not use them too heavily, and is not recommended to perform intimate toilet for too strong jet of water. But at the end of hygienic procedures intimate space is not dry and wet.

It is also worth adding that it would be better if each family member will have its own set of tools for intimate hygiene, even if it is a single-close relatives, such as the two brothers, or mothers and daughters. Also, individual must be a towel, and they should not be used to wipe the other parts of the body.

A little bit about me:

Born in 1970 in Los Angeles;

My whole life helping people;
Studied and worked in medicine;

My photo you can see in magazines (1998);

So I want write this blog...

Today came to me a well-known financier, he said that the USD changed to another currency. Wheredo I put my money?

According to statistics, in 60 of the last century the average person have to sleep 8 hours, now - about 6.5. We have less sleep because of the accelerated pace of life, are forced into a growing number of cases. But apart from this increase in the number of people suffering from sleep disorders (against a background of stress). Show/Hide Post


Many try to compensate for the lack of sleep on weekends, making the so-called «carotid bulimia» - that is, until the mid of Saturday. A particular benefit of this is not. Researchers from the North-Western University (Illinois) have shown that accumulated over several days, can not be compensated for once. The point is that the shortage of sleep during the day body can not compensate for the damage the next day. Systematic failure «compensation», in the next few days, leading to irritability, depression status and obesity.

Second: constant attempts to lose weight through diet
Lovers sit on a diet can be divided into three groups. Some people (and minorities) do manage to, Sit on a diet, give up the excess weight. Others did not get - and they leave their attempts to restrict their diet. Still others, without sleep and rest choose a new diet or start one and the same in each case from the beginning.
That is, they hard fans of these diets are at risk. They constantly feel guilt and frustration over unfulfilled plans for slimming, they are trying to punish himself more and more strict diet, suffer from constant feelings of hunger (and often - from the lack of essential substances). As a result, they were again thwarted. It is trite, but you will have to once again repeat: diet should be balanced, but all attempts to lose weight more successfully if they are accompanied by physical exertion.

Third: chronic pain
Some people who experience chronic pain for years postponed the visit to the doctor for reasons such as: «Today, it seems easier - it may even cease to be ill?».

However, studies show that among patients with depression, post-traumatic syndrome and chronic pain have some similarities. This so-called real reaction, which is expressed in muscle weakness, decreased appetite and libido, decrease in physical activity, troubled sleep and decreasing concentration. Such a person constantly feel exhausted, depleted, and this greatly reduces the quality of life.

Fourth: the habit of jamming coffee liters
A cup of coffee adds vivacity, but the liter of coffee each day, this energy takes. Everything is simple: there is the effect addictive, vivacity needed for increasing the dose, which in the end, it is impossible to increase. In addition, the consumption of beverages coffee increases dehydration. Those who are difficult to abandon the habit of drinking a few cups of coffee a day, it makes sense to combine them with drinking water during the day. However, those who live without coffee, water will not hurt. Dietitians advice to drink 8 glasses of water daily.

Fifth: the regular admission of energy drinks
«Energy» should not become permanent morning drink. Taking this powerful stimulant, a person receives a shock dose of caffeine, taurine and ginseng often. After such a mobilization of internal reserves, the body needed rest and recovery. At particular risk are the liver, nervous and cardiovascular systems. And with regular admission of energy occurs addictive and «invigorating drink» peppy with time, fewer and fewer.

Sixth: the lack of oxygen
Lack of oxygen from a permanent residence in the stuffy room slows down metabolism and lead to increased fatigue. Council «more walk after work», alas, can not take everyone. Therefore it is possible to search in another way: first, there are oxygen cocktails, and secondly, it is possible to modify the technique of breathing. Throughout the day, we breathe the surface, making shallow breaths. It should give at least a few minutes a day to make a slow, deep breaths, or turn to relaxation breathing techniques.

Seventh: the lack of movement
Lack does not lead to savings in power: no load loss of muscle tone, eventually disappears, and energy. More: The physical activity not only reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, but also the risk of depression and has been shown to affect life expectancy. Researchers at the University of South Carolina for 12 years, were observing a group of 2600 elderly people. It was found that physical activity affects the life expectancy is much stronger than even the presence of a normal body mass index. In other words, whether full or thin man: if he had a lot of time during the day holds in motion, he lives longer.

Often said that «the human eye - the mirror of the soul», and many doctors may say that «the skin - reflected the state of internal organs and systems».

Typically, a combined treatment, and one of the components of therapy - external (ointment) therapy. Show/Hide Post

With worsening of most skin diseases such as allergic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, corticosteroids are used - hormonal means. These tools have anti-inflammatory, protivootechnym, protivozudnym action. Usually hormonal funds are made in several forms: ointment, cream, lotion, spray, each of which is applied depending on the severity of the process, such as chronic dermatosis characterized by dryness, peeling apply ointment. In the acute processes of edema, vezikulyatsiey (appearance of bubbles), moknutiem preference lotion, aerosols. In subacute able to use the cream. On the scalp of the head, face, folds (axillary, under the breast,inguinal, behind the ears), it is desirable to apply lotions, aerosols, gels and creams that do not contain fat basis. In heavily infiltrirovannyh processes, such as psoriatic plaques, means causing a compress (under occlusion bandage).
There is the classification of hormonal means, not only in form but also by the strength of exposure.
The European Classification (Niedner, Schopf, 1993), provides four classes of drugs.
first class (poor) to nemuotnosyatsya hydrocortisone, prednisolone, and others - are used primarily to treat children younger than 6 months, as well as weakly expressed inflammatory phenomena, especially in the distribution of hot spots on the face, neck, and in the folds.
second class (medium), it includes flumetazon, flukortolon and others - with more pronounced inflammation of the skin.
third grade (strong) - hydrocortisone butyrate, and others - are used as drugs of first aid in ostrovospalitelnom process.
fourth grade (very strong) klobetazola propionate is used exclusively in cases of ineffective drugs prior to the classes.
Particularly want to note that these drugs have contraindications, namely:
pink acne, localized on his face.
acne disease;
perioralny dermatitis (in mouth);
perianalny, genital itching;
dermatitis, complicated by bacterial (eg, impetigo), viral (eg herpes), fungal (eg, candidiasis) infections;
hypersensitivity to the drug.
In addition to use of long-term corticosteroid preparations should not be, because may develop side effects (thinning of the skin, striated, and other equally unpleasant and hazardous processes)
