Causes of Infertility in Women and Men
Infertility is usually defined as the failure to conceive after a year or more of regular sexual activity during the time of ovulation. Infertility affects some 6.1 million American couples, and pinpointing the exact cause of the problem can be difficult.
In 40% of infertile couples, problems affecting the male partner are either partially or wholly the cause of infertility. The most common causes being low sperm count or anatomical abnormalities.
For women, the most common causes of infertility are ovulatory failure, blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids. Some women develop antibodies to their partner’s sperm. Psychological issues such as stress may contribute to infertility as well, although stress is usually the result of infertility, not the cause of it.
The following are the most common reasons couples are unable to conceive:

Hygiene – A Priority for Your Health
Hygiene is very important especially those who work on the clock to get the job done. As humans, we prize ourselves as clean beings and when we begin to fail with our hygiene our health fails too. Our healthy pretty much rely on our hygiene which is why we need to clean up after ourselves all the time.
The hair is one of the most important part of the body. Rinse your hair everyday with shampoo and water to remove dirt and avoid having dandruff from forming. For those who are living in warm areas, it is much better that you wash your hair twice a day.
The skin is another line of defense that you should be taking care of. The skin prevents bacteria and other forms of diseases from entering your body which is why you need to pamper it. Lather up with soap and water and apply a moisturizing lotion after every bath. Take vitamin supplements to further promote healthier skin.
Women’s Fitness Tips – How to Make the Scale Your Friend (Really)
For many of us ladies women’s fitness does not come easily. In a culture that is saturated with photos and images of women who are 5’10″ and a size 2, it is hard to know what our bodies should look like and how to keep fit in the first place. Our scales can easily become our enemies and we can end up feeling ugly, when we should be celebrating our beauty.
But I propose that you can actually make the scale your friend – as I have, and let it help you stay (or become) fit and healthy.
The first step is to find out what you actually should weigh and to accept it. Take a look online at a reputable site like WebMD.com and find out what the correct weight is for a woman of your height and build. Be honest with yourself and don’t try and fudge the numbers. Remember that there is tremendous pressure on all of us to look like Paris Hilton or Twiggy, but that should not be your goal. What you want is a real body with real curves that is healthy and fit.
