Hi Dr SOLZHI! I am interested by your post :-) It is consistent with what my family doctors have told me over the years. However - I have a problem with what you and they say. What are these good proportions? No doctor has ever answered this question! They always tell me to eat "a little of eve...

My advice is to incorporate diet into your social life. I look forward to my weekly slimming club meeting! It's great to talk to other people with the same problems and desires, and swap advice :) Also join a sports team or fitness class: then if you miss a session, your new friends will ask you whe...

It is not so long ago that women were a commodity in Europe ;-) It is not an Islamic phenomenon: there are plenty of European Christians who treat women as breeding stock (certainly Roman Catholic and New Life communities can sometimes be like this). There is an old Greek curse: "May all your s...

Women should be feminine and that meens not with muscles. They should tone up their inherent curves and avoid huge muscle built up. shouldd ve breasts not chest. This kind of excessive bodybuilding is bad for the health of both genders. But nobody has the right to dictate what another person does w...

Hehehehe - I have heard that muslim women are not so innocent! Apparently some very dirty jokes and rowdy songs are shared at the womens' bath houses in the Middle East!

I agree with freethinker that these rituals have a very useful placebo effect. I think the danger comes when people reject modern medicine in favour of the "old ways." For example, I was raised in a rural area where people refused to give their children Whooping Cough vaccinations. They we...

I have met several men who have undergone or are undergoing the process to become a woman. One of these people actually had his operation reversed some years later. He first had the operation after being made unemployed, and was not thinking clearly. He now speaks out to encourage better psycoanalys...

I like a lot to drink coffee but, my doctor forbidden me to drink it after I treated the ulcer. Is not good to drink coffee on an empty stomach, I also know that coffee also stimulates digestion, so is good to be consumed after meal... :shock: I didn't know that! Thanks! :-) Caffeine can cause slee...

We are facing a population crisis: society is truggling to give education and medical care to the next generation, and it will not be long before we face food shortages. Perhaps homosexuality is nature's way of averting this crisis? :quoi I know both gay men and lesbians, who are very happy together...

Thanks FreeThinker :mrgreen: I would certainly like to see parents encouraging their children to be more rational about their looks! Peach - I am not against lipstick and mascara! My concern is that beauty has gone beyond this, with people being put under pressure to buy expensive products, have len...

:lol: how that, to eat it like a lady? little,rarely and not on night? or when your is appetite and beyond measure (as my sister)? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I know how your sister feels! A good trick is to make a large dessert like bananas or berries with yoghurt (s...

All our televisions and papers tell us: 'Economy suffers again.' And everyone thinks: lets not buy that new car. THAT's the reason the economy is going down! if they would just be a little more positive, people go and spend their money, and the economy gains strenght again, problem solved :) ! (thi...

I know a LOT of men who became Christian (including being baptised and attending church) just because their girlfriend dreamed of getting married in Church! But these men did not actually believe in anything, they just wanted an easy life ;-) Usually the couple stopped going to church again straight...

My advice to women is eat like a lady! Cheap cakes and bars of chocolate are particularly fattening because they contain a huge amount of sugar, cream, whey, etc. They also become addictive because of the sugar. I found it useful to have an occasional treat of a very expensive, high quality, rich an...

Bread is a high-calorie friend :roll: I eat 2-4 slices of wholemeal bread (or equivalents like crisp bread) every day. Any more and I will gain weight! I avoid baguettes, pizzas, pittas, etc. with my meals, and eat pasta, potatoes or rice instead. I beleive it is most nutritious to have this kind of...

Politicians say it would be better to spend to stimulate the national economy, Well, then the politicians should give me some more money! :haha Even before I was mode redundant, I shopped carefully. I think that the economy is in a mess because people were taking out loans and credit cards to pay f...

It's really nice to hear all you guys saying these things :-) Unfortunately, it is not just a little lipstick and mascara: women buy huge amounts of rubbish in the pursuit of beauty! Once it becomes an obsession, it results in spending your life savings on orthodontics and surgery :nonnon It is no l...

I like these Easter eggs a lot! Our easter eggs (in the UK) are made from chocolate, and may contain some small chocolates inside. They are just wrapped in tin foil - not as beautiful as the ones in hellodear's photo! Some people organise Easter Egg hunts for the local Children

Are men who love's them and give more attention to the exterior even more than a woman. I know a man of this type, until does not look in the mirror 10 times, until no change clothes about 3 times, until half an hour not struggle with hair arranging doesn't leave the house. But, if taken in general...

true ... but all the rituals for beauty can be made at home, not necessarily to throw good money on beauty salons, as well as sports like running, cycling, walking, crunches, etc.. Even home treatments cost a lot of money! What would you think if you saw a 20-year-old girl with dry, grey hair, no m...

Men too - You should avoid wearing high heels, Nathan

I have known male factory workers develop this disease from standing at a machine all day.

It is not only a cosmetic problem - it can lead to thrombosis, which can be lethal! Varicose veins can be surgically removed. The best cure is prevention. If you have a job where you have to stand for long periods (e.g. factory worker, shop assistant) make sure you move around as much as possible (e...

If all what you said is true then I must say I am glad I live in India. I never heard of anyone doing Rhinoplasty here. Shilpa Shetty, the Bollywood star, has obviously had surgery on her nose. :-) Perhaps most women are a little more discreet than me? :haha It is true that I am perhaps being a lit...

Nobody is forcing anyone to do facial surgeries. People do them on their own. ... However, perferences do exist and they will vary from person to person. Having preferences is not discriminating. I disagree. Of course, no one can make us do anything. But society can put us under unreasonable pressu...

Ah, perhaps I have sympathy for Saudi women because I was raised not to be vain ;-) I cannot relax at the salon because I have too many other things to do with my time and money! :lol: I see beauty as an investment: I need to look socially acceptable in order to succeed in life. But I wish they didn...
