Sex Appeal Is More Than Just Having a Hot Body According to Science

Personally, I’ve been spending a lot of time in the gym trying to maintain a good figure. Though personally, I’ve been doing my push ups for health reasons, I’d like to be in great shape. It is my belief that how I look determines my sex appeal ;-) By definition, sex ap·peal as a noun, is the quality of being attractive in a sexual way. Its synonyms includes; sexiness, seductiveness, desirability, sensuality, sexuality; beauty, attractiveness. But like most of us, including me, think about Victoria’s Secret Angel-worthy physicality when we think of sex appeal — or something like it. For women, that may be flat abs, flowing hair, and clear skin. For men: a chiseled jawline, tall stature, and bulging biceps.

Studies have found that women like men with prominent chin and cheekbones, and men prefer curvy figures

Please take time to reassess our topic here as it is much serious than I thought… I’m browsing the net to look something to read about, then came across one subject that more often than not, we tend to take this for granted… We might engage ourselves with sex probably more than we should or simply it is just the thing nowadays… I have read an article claiming that sex is indeed the greatest form of exercise. Well, needless to say, I’ve been there and I can say that it might be true, but not for everyone… Have you asked yourself how little is little, and how much is too much? If you’re trying to have it as much as you do and as much as you can, you might be suffering from an addiction. The “psychiatrist’s bible” may not be officially recognize that there is a sex addiction but people with the condition say it’s all too real.

Who doesn’t love chocolate? Hey, be true to yourself buddy, you can indulge yourself every once in a while ;-) As normal as it seems, there are five fabulous facts you need to know about the infamous CHOCOLATE! According to one certain expert, there are chocolate apologists, and there are chocolate advocates. How they differ is that chocolate apologists approach chocolate from a defensive point of view: Deep down, they consider it a vice, but they use scientific research demonstrating its virtues to justify their habit. Chocolate advocates like most of us, let’s consider ourselves as health conscious people, however, consider chocolate a bona fide health food, and actively seek out ways to include it in our diets for both the hedonic pleasure it provides as well as for its health benefits. 1.  Chocolate is health food for the heart.

Well, let’s read one great story to inspire us to share our end of the bargain! Meet Barbie Thomas… Grabbling on to the wires after she climbed onto a transformer while playing outside her Texas apartment complex, at the age of 2, she lost both her arms. From her hands out her feet, the electric current traveled through her little body, burning her arms to the bone. Fitness Unarmed, her website biography, she quoted, "They were like charcoal.

I'm not that health conscious like most of us - I treat my body like an amusement park after all, yet, these information just keeps on haunting me. Maybe, this might be the right time to make some changes with what I do on a regular basis, I must admit, old habits do really die hard! ;-) So let's get to it shall we?

Health Code International

Our Home... Our Future... Health Code International is a product-based marketing company. Its humble beginnings can be traced back five years ago when it crossed the threshold of the Philippine market during the last quarter of the year 2003.
