Sperm Masks Acne Medication Can Be?
High nutrient content in semen and sperm to make its benefits is always interesting to study, one for beauty, such as treating acne and make young women. True?
The results Johnson and Everitt in his book Essential Reproduction (2000) revealed that semen contains a high nutrient content.
In a typical ejaculation (about one teaspoon) of semen already contains 150 mg of protein, 11 mg carbohydrates, 6 mg of fat, 3 mg cholesterol, 7 percent of U.S. RDA potassium, copper and zinc.
In addition, semen also contains sugars, proteins and amino acids, minerals, vitamins, hormones, lactic acid, urea, uric acid and nitrogen.
The high nutrient content makes a lot of semen and sperm used to treat various diseases, such as diabetes and depression. The use of sperm has also been applied to treat acne, although no studies that prove its effectiveness.
Sperm mask method even known to have used since the time of Ancient Egypt (5000 BC), as reported by healthmedicals, Tuesday (22/03/2011).
In theory, the use of masks is considered quite reasonable sperm because sperm contain several nutrients that are beneficial for skin care. As reported by Netdoctor, semen and sperm contains ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and vitamin B12, which can help one look younger and beautiful.
Vitamin C encourages the growth of protein chains in collagen, which is the main ingredient in all fibrous tissue. Vitamin C is also an antioxidant that can detoxify or get rid of toxins and impurities that exist on the surface of the skin.
The presence of vitamin C in semen is to ensure that the sperm are protected from free radicals and increases the lifespan of sperm cells.
In addition, the antioxidant content also ensures that the sperm free of free radicals causes dull skin and wrinkles. The content of the same could be found in acne products and anti aging treatments on the market early.

Pants Overcome Power Battery for Prostate Disease
Hot pant or shorts are widely used by women. But now hot pant has been created that can be battery powered removing the heat and into new ways to overcome the symptoms of prostate disease.
Shorts are made of fabric is designed to be worn under pants, has a small element that can remove heat.These pants are in clinical trials to treat urinary retention, which is a condition that affects people of all ages which makes it difficult to urinate.
Urinary retention particularly common in men with prostate gland enlargement due to obstructed exit to the bladder, causing symptoms such as difficulty urinating, frequent need to go to the toilet, and difficulty emptying the bladder completely.
Symptoms of this disease can range from mild to severe, in some cases can cause inability to urinate. This condition is usually treated with drugs or surgery.
Hot new pant developed by U.S. companies and tested in Mobley Clinical Research Centre, Houston, Texas, is designed to produce low-level heat to overcome the symptoms of prostate disease in men.
The idea to make this battery-powered shorts based on anecdotal evidence and case reports indicating that some problems in the urinary tract can be effectively reduced by heating the skin of the external or often known as Jacuzzi effect.
"This sounds like a non-invasive technique that makes sense to try and the results can be interesting in the early phase, especially for those who can not tolerate or do not want to take medication," said Raj Persad, consultant urological surgeon and senior lecturer in clinical University of Bristol, as reported by Dailymail, Tuesday (03/22/2011).
The theory is given by a pair of warmth to relax muscle cells in the bladder neck, urinary sphincter and pelvic floor.
Doctors also believe that the warmth generated these pants can reduce the impulse of the body's communication network called the autonomic nervous system.
These networks are largely independent of the control and regulate various basic functions such as contraction of the bladder.
For some reason, this system also contributed to the problems caused by enlargement of the prostate by preventing the bladder emptying.
It is estimated that 60 percent of men aged 60 years or older have some degree of prostate enlargement, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
The exact cause is unknown, but research shows hormones may play an important role. Some studies indicate a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), whose levels increase with age, can stimulate prostate growth.
