As these exercises require several stretching movements, start slowly at the beginning of each session. This will allow your muscles and tendons to get used to the range of motion. 

Conduct of the exercise 

Warm-up: the first minute of each exercise allows you to put the major muscle groups in movement. 
Assess the intensity you use a stopwatch on your phone or clock with a second hand to measure the duration of each exercise. At the end of a segment, you must feel that working muscles are ready to move to the next exercise. 
Stretch and recovery: during the last minute, reduce the intensity of the movements to lower your heart rate, such as walking around the room, then stretch the major muscle groups that you did work.

6 things never to the bathroom!

We all need to operate flushing toilets and hand washing soaps, but what about the other rules of etiquette? Here are answers to this question that you never dared to ask!

1 Do not make sure your guests have toilet paper. 

Make sure your guests have toilet paper, soap, a towel and bath towels. Make sure they are clearly visible and there are one or two rolls of paper. If they sleep with you, let them, if necessary, to the whims of your shower: nobody likes to receive an unexpected cold running water.

2 Leave the toilet mess 

There is no doubt that the thing not to do is leave the place a mess. Make it a habit to consider any bathroom, whether at work or at someone as if it were your own. If you splashed water on the sink, wipe it with a tissue. If you use a seat protector, make sure to completely evacuate.

3 Continue the conversation with your boss entering the toilet 

If possible, refrain from any conversation outside the friendly greetings; there are people who prefer not to talk while they are on the toilet.

4 do not prevent that there are more hygienic paper 

If you use the last roll in public restrooms or at work, first see if there are others nearby. If it does not, report to the department head. At the very least, tell the person who is about to take your place.

5 Use your phone to the bathroom 

Turn your phone off. It's more polite to others who are there, but also for your partner. It's really not very difficult to seek someone the sound of a flushing during a conversation.

6 You dodge after blocking the toilet 

This happens to us all. If you have clogged the toilet, press the toilet handle and try to fix the problem. If you do not succeed, it is your responsibility to prevent those responsible. Do not worry, public facilities and offices have everything you need. Also that this happens more often than you would the

Get a flatter stomach, reduce bulges and love handles cold

If you want a flat stomach, improve your figure, or if you try to get rid of stubborn fat in the belly, thighs or arms technology now available at aesthetic medical SKIN, Montreal might interest you. Intrigued by this new procedure known as CoolSculpting offered by Dr. Manish Khanna dermatologist at his clinic, writing Best Health wanted to put to the test. Before describing in detail our experience, some brief explanations about this amazing new technology.

The CoolSculpting: how does it work? 

Developed by researchers at Harvard, the technology applied directly to the skin uses the cold to "freeze" and destroy fat cells, but without damaging the dermis, tissue or nerves targeted areas. Is that the fat in the fat are much more sensitive to cold than the content of other cell types. Thus, thanks to a precise temperature, the CoolSculpting happens to target only fat cells. 

Once "frozen" by this technology, the fat cells are destroyed by cold and eliminated by the body. The first results are usually visible a few weeks after treatment, while the most important results will normally be visible from two to three months after the first session. The body, however, continue to get rid of fat cells for up to six months after treatment. 

Note that CoolSculpting is made to "sculpt" the shape and get rid of stubborn fat, and is not made for a more comprehensive weight loss. It is also very important that this treatment is done under the supervision of health professionals, as is the case at the Clinique SKIN. Some clinics indeed offer this new technology, but without medical supervision. 

Best Health will make a detailed account of the results in the coming months. But first, here is how was our experience CoolSculpting treatment. 


Testbed CoolSculpting 

Day 1: The meeting 
Before starting treatment, I first met the team of this medical aesthetic clinic. During this first meeting, the dermatologist Dr. Manish Khanna and his team took the time to explain the procedure in detail and assessed my needs. 

Each patient may indeed decide to receive treatment at various locations. I chose to test the CoolSculpting at the sides (you know, those famous love handles!). In women, the regions of the thighs, abdomen, back and arms are often treated. In men, the abdomen, flanks, lower back and chest are particularly popular target areas. 

As every body is unique, the team of Dr. Manish Khanna then made an assessment of the type of fat found in the targeted area to determine what is the best of both techniques CoolScupting to adopt. In my case, as the fat was located rather deeper in the skin (a fatty firmer to the touch) it is preferable to use the CoolSculpting applicator which is placed against the skin and freezes the fat is situated in the selected section for about 2 hours. 

Another approach is further available CoolSculpting: when the fat is on the surface of the skin (a fatty softer to the touch), while it is possible to drag the skin between two cooling panels. A vacuum then helps place the bead between the two wafers. The sensation is that of a suction pressure closes that allows to "freeze" and eliminate fat optimally. 

After this initial meeting and assessment, we decided that the first option or the applicator, was the preferred option. So I was finally ready to receive the treatment provided few days after the first date. 

Day 2: Treatment 
Back at the clinic, we reviewed the entire procedure. The first step of the treatment was to apply a gel on the areas that I wanted to be treated (left and right side). With this gel, the skin is protected from the cold, but still leaves the cold CoolSculpting penetrate the skin. 

Then you must position itself to allow the applicator is properly installed and reaches a maximum of fat cells on the treated areas. Lying on his stomach, it was possible to place the applicator first on my left, then my right flank. 

During the first minutes of treatment, you get a great sensation and pain due to cold. After about 10 minutes, the area becomes numb and the pain disappears. In my case, it's not the applicator that bothered me, but being in bed two hours away on the belly. After a brief pause, the treatment on the right flank then started. 

At the end of processing each target area, then the technician proceeded to massage the treated areas to free the destroyed fat cells. This massage creates some pain, but is nonetheless necessary because it ensures maximum efficacy. 

And after? It's over: We are ready to resume daily activities. Note that the treated areas are completely insensitive, a rather strange and uncomfortable at first sensation. That said, at the time of this writing, about two weeks after receiving the treatment, I start to regain normal sensation in the treated areas. 

It is important to note that a person on the other, side effects may vary. Some people may have bruises, or "blue", while a minority of patients may have a cyst that appears after treatment. Others experience more severe pain after treatment.


What's nice is that after this non-invasive treatment, no pills, supplements or treatment is needed. In addition, only one treatment is necessary. In about 2-3 months so I should see much results ... and let's say I already can not wait. So stay on the lookout: we will keep you informed of the final results!

Sexual Problems in Women

There are many problems that can keep a woman from enjoying sex. They include:
- Lack of sexual desire

These problems may have physical or psychological causes. Physical causes may include conditions like diabetes, heart disease, nerve disorders or hormone problems. Some drugs can also affect desire and function. Psychological causes may include work-related stress and anxiety. They may also include depression or concerns about marriage or relationship problems. For some women, the problem results from past sexual trauma.

Occasional problems with sexual function are common. If problems last more than a few months or cause distress for you or your partner, you should see your healthcare provider.
