Contrary to public opinion, most Muslims end up gaining weight during Ramadan. Planning a vacation this summer? According to the U.S. Travel Association, one-third of all leisure travelers say they have more sex while on vacation. Psychology Today reported that a study published in the Journal of Personal Relationships found that overall intimacy increases when couples engage in new activities together. On vacation, this could mean sightseeing, parasailing, or trying new foods together. The trick is that both partners must find the new experience to be exciting. Not planning any particular adventures this summer? You're in luck because according to a new survey reported in Shape , July and August are the most popular months for sex. Need proof? Check out the real reason your sex drive spikes in the summer Thank you, summer.
Most of us would love to whittle away the stubborn belly fat that circles our waists, either for health reasons or to just feel better about our bodies, but few people understand what it takes to drop excess weight. And it doesn't matter if you need to lose 10 pounds, or a more daunting amount like 50 pounds, solely pounding out reps in the gym or attacking the treadmill isn't going to get you to your goal—you must focus your efforts on the calories you are taking in to create a leaner body.
For even more impressive effects on body composition: aim for exercise forms which elicit a positive hormonal response. This means lifting really heavy things (strength training), or interval training. Such exercise increases levels of the sex hormone testosterone (primarily in men) as well as growth hormone. Not only do greater levels of these hormones increase your muscle mass, but they also decrease your visceral fat (belly fat) in the long term.
