Introduction:

At this day and age a lot of people have become conscious regarding what to eat and what not. Diet plays a very important role in our health and we need to select the foods, which will help us to stay healthy and live a healthier life. These days people have become aware that they should not eat food that is very high in meat and must eat foods that are lighter and are more balanced.

The Changing Trend To Vegetarian Diet:

These days a lot of people are coming to know the benefits of the vegetarian diet and have found that really effective in keeping them healthy and helping them stay fit. The vegetarian diet is also preferred because it is pretty much cost effective. There are a lot of people who have switched their diets from meat to a totally vegetarian diet and have found a great deal of change in the way they are spending their lives now.

The Different Groups Of Vegetarians:

There are about five groups in which the vegetarians are being divided into. The one group of vegetarians are the ones who would eat white meat but would not eat red meat. Another group of vegetarians are ones who will not eat any meat products at all but would have the dairy products and also have eggs. Then there is another group who does not eat eggs, as they consider egg as flesh since it is being considered as embryo. Another group of vegetarians who eat grains, cereals, as well as vegetables and fish. They believe that the flesh produces a lot of toxins in the body and hence do not want to ingest it. The last group of the vegetarians is that who do not eat flesh at all and are known as true vegetarians.

Benefits That Vegetarians Have Over People Who Eat Meat:

There are a lot of benefits that the vegetarians have over the people who eat meat. Since meat has the most component of proteins, the proteins are being broken down into toxic metabolites that are then being neutralized by the liver and are excreted by the kidney. The meat along with the protein component also has the fat part in it and thus causes the increase of the triglyceride and the cholesterol component in the body, which is very harmful for the heart as well as the blood vessels. The vegetable diet on the other hand poses no such threats or hazards to the individuals and focuses on keeping the individual healthy.

Diet Choices Can Help Prevent Obesity:

If the individuals select vegetarian diet, it would not only prevent them from many harmful effects on health but would also definitely prevent an individual from having increased amounts of weight gain, which in turn lead to a lot of health problems. Therefore it is best to select vegetables as a source of diet because it will keep the health problems away from you and will make you and your life better, healthier and happier.

Try To Balance Your Diet Even If You Are Having Vegetables:

It is really important that you keep your diet balanced because there are some components that are missing in vegetarian diet, therefore it is pretty important that you consult your nutritionist and do take the multivitamins and the diet that covers up the loss of proteins and fats as well because if it is not balanced then it can lead to health problems.

Introduction:

There are a lot of couples throughout the world who are going through infertility issues, where either the female or the male can have problems in their reproductive system that can be the cause of infertility. Till now the most common method that the people have been using to achieve pregnancy has been in vitro fertilization, which is also known as IVF. Now another method is being introduced known as NaPro Technology (NPT) which has proven to be successful and has been cost effective that assists couples to start their new life. Another very important thing is that NPT restores fertility, which allows the conception to occur naturally.

Effects Of Infertility On The Lives Of Couples:

The desire to have a child by a couple is very overwhelming and this leads them to go through different mind phases such as grief, depression, sadness and the couple both try to strengthen each other through these times, but the suffering increases as the time goes on and the patience runs thin, which in turn leads to a stretch in the relationship. This can also lead to desperation and these couples then use desperate measures such as going for in vitro fertilization also known as IVF without understanding what this procedure is. Some couples find it beneficial but for others this process does not work at all and they get more aggravated with time and their hope falls down.

Research Before You Try To Opt For Any Procedure

You must research on the different procedures that are there before you opt for any one procedure. Lot of people spend on IVF procedure as well as its other form known as intracytoplasmic sperm injection also known as ICSI. Now another new technique that has come in the market is the NaPro Technology, which means natural procreative technology, in which both the medical and the diagnostic technologies are directed towards achieving the pregnancy the natural way through intercourse rather than the other procedures as mentioned above.

Why To Choose NPT Over IVF:

1. Focus Of NPT: The focus of NPT is on the disease to find as to what is the reason that the couple is not achieving pregnancy. This is the first thing that is being worked on. In IVF, the cause of infertility is not being looked into much and the cause is almost totally ignored.

2. Success Rate: It has been mentioned in the medical journals that the NPT has 1.5 to 3 times more success rate than the IVF. There was a study that was conducted over a four year period on about 95 couples who had been in the NPT program and had been trying to conceive for about 6 years had about 176 attempts that failed. The Artificial Reproductive Technique reported that there were about 123 conceptions. There were increasing success rates with the couples staying longer in the NPT program.

3. Higher Risks Of Multiple Births With IVF: According to the ART data, which was conducted from 1983 till about 1986 showed that with the transfer of embryos which were about 3.2 per woman ended up in 81 live births. From this data it was concluded that it required 16.9 living embryos to give birth to one child. When there are higher cases of success reported in IVF means that there is a higher risk of multiple births.

4. Killing Of Child In The Womb: Since there are a lot of chances of having multiple pregnancy with IVF, the women are required to selectively kill the additional babies in the womb.

5. Difference Of Mode: In IVF the sperm and ova are being fertilized and then placed in the womb, whereas the NPT program just follows the natural process to achieve the pregnancy.

6. Cost Effective: Another very important difference between the NPT and the IVF is that NPT is more cost effective than the IVF procedure. The median one cycle of IVF costs about $9226. On the other hand, the NPT costs approximately $9,290, which includes the evaluation by a physician, the hormone and ultrasound, as well as outpatient surgical treatment of infertility.

7. The Outcomes Of Pregnancy: There have been growing concerns with the procedures of IVF and ICSI, as it is being noted that the children who are being conceived with this procedure are likely to have a birth defect at the end of the first year of life. The birth defect is about 8.6% to 9.0% with IVF and ICSI than the 4.2% through the natural procedures.

8. You Can Get Pregnant Again: With the NPT you can get pregnant again through the natural way while on the other hand with IVF or ICSI, the process of planting in the embryo is the only way to get pregnant again because with these processes the cause of infertility is not corrected.

Summary:

You must go through all the available options and then select the one that you think suits you the best according to your budget and with the guidance of the doctor. We pray that you will have all the health and happiness in your life.

A recent study suggested that illness of husband or wife can hasten the death of the other.

The reason for hastening the death includes stress, loss of companionship, practical help, income, and losing a part of oneself are what that strikes the mind when a spouse gets sick.

The researchers say that it is not necessary that it is not necessary that you can die because of your partners death, but you can also die of their severe illness.

In the past, the researches have shown that the spouses of the sick people are at much higher risks of illnesses and death and this data showed that there were a wide range of illnesses.

They found that the men were at much considerable risk of dying than women because according to the statistics, men were most likely to die after their wives were hospitalized.

The data also showed that if the spouse dies, the risk of death of the partner increases up to five folds, which rises by 21 percent among men and 17 percent among women. The data also shed light that the risk of death was pretty high in the first six months after the spouse was hospitalized.

There were increased rates of hospitalization with dementia and psychiatric problems raising the death risk to about 52.5 percent in men and about 57.5 percent in women. The older partners were the ones who were making big numbers in those percentages.

It is suggested that the spouses are connected and therefore their health is connected as well and this affects either one of them if any of them get sick.

It was also found that the most types of cancer except the ones with a more poor prognosis, the cancer did little or nothing to increase the risk of death of a companion because a lot of people are able to live a better and healthier life after treatments.

The researchers added that the numbers of the sexes who were dying from the severe illness of their spouses were not comparable, but men tend to die sooner.

The researchers also found that the risk was also at a larger level to not only the spouse but also involving the children and close friends.

People from all over the world describe the feeling of love as euphoria, exhilaration, elation etc. The feeling of love is an intense craving that one person has for the other that they love. The researchers just dug out as to what are the brain processes through which it responds in romantic love.

The researchers studied the reason as to what makes the feeling of love so intense. They found out that the brain just perceives romantic love as a reward and stimulates the brain activity in the reward area of the brain, which occurs to any reward such as getting a chocolate, money etc.
The researcher mentioned that in her view, the romantic love was a drive, which is pretty strong and intense.

The researchers studied about 17 people who have fallen in love and to explain that, according to them they were unable to think of anything else for the most of the day than the one they love and the average time that these people have been in love was about seven months.

The researchers developed a questionnaire in which they asked about questions regarding passionate love and if they would die for their partner and the researchers said that they were amazed to hear that all of the people who were interviewed said that they would and they responded to that in a very casual way.

The participants of the study were then asked to look at the photograph of their love while they were put in an MRI machine to see as to what parts of their brain are responding to when they see the pictures and they saw that the part of the brain that lit up after they saw the pictures was the reward and pleasure area.

It was astonishing to find that the reward area got lit up when the researchers were trying to find out as to what areas of the brain are going to respond when the people would see the pictures of their lovers. So that meant that love is just a reward, which is like chocolate or money.

The area of the brain that lit up was in the brain stem, which is known as the ventral tegmental area. In that area, the pigmented cells contain the neurotransmitter dopamine, which sends messages to the part of the brain known as caudate nucleus.

The researcher said that it has changed the way that she thinks about love. She says it is a motivation and the individual that we love is a goal. The emotions, they just come and go. The researcher also added that the system that is driving the person that we are in love with is sense than an emotion.

The researchers added that love was not only an emotion, it was a basic mating drive, much stronger than the sex drive. They also added that the early feeling of love just does not remain forever such as the pounding of the heart, thinking about the love all the time, but in good relationships it just crosses onto a different stage of love known as attachment.

There was another pretty interesting comment made by the researcher on love, which was that when love is seen under microscope, it just takes away a bit of the mystery and romance.

The researcher also added that even if we know as to what are the ingredients in a cake, but we still love to eat that cake and even knowing about love, we can feel all the passion and desire of it.
