STD Testing

STD Testing

Things to know about STD testing centers


If you're sexually active, getting regular STD testing is a wise idea. STD tests can detect conditions that are currently asymptomatic. Also, since early detection is key to the successful treatment of many STDs, it is very important that you see a doctor if you have any symptoms that concern you.


The most common STD tests administered by doctors are screenings for gonorrhea and chlamydia, which are highly recommended if you've recently had sexual contact with a new partner or if you have multiple sex partners. Your doctor will test for other sexually transmitted diseases at his or her discretion, based on your risk factors for contracting them. You can also ask to be tested for specific diseases, such as HIV, scabies, pubic lice and syphilis.

Coffee With Cream, Sugar ... and Viagra?

Coffee With Cream, Sugar ... and Viagra?

Oh dear--weird news to tell you about this morning ... as you're sipping your latte. Imagine drinking Viagra-spiked coffee. Wait until you hear this story (which gives a whole new meaning to a "cup of Joe")...


****


Coffee With Cream, Sugar ... and Viagra?

According to reports, more than 900 boxes of Viagra-laced coffee have been confiscated in Malaysia. The coffee was being marketed as an "energy booster," and "beneficial to men." So far, there's no word about the coffee reaching the U.S.--whew.


But, you know, after the cookie dough E. Coli scandal, I sort of have a smug "what's next?" attitude about the safety of our food. Perhaps this is why I'm really loving buying local whenever possible, like the coffee I buy from a micro roaster in Seattle that delivers their beans via bicycle to my doorstep! Cute, huh?

How To Awaken Your Senses

How To Awaken Your Senses

One way to remain youthful is to keep our five senses alert. But too often rather than opening, we shut ourselves down. As a result our internal and external environments lose their vibrancy and in the process, our own zest for life can be dulled. The good news: with these sensory exercises you’ll give yourself a boost and be able to more fully tune into the world around you.


Try it:


OPEN HEARING


This means listening to the whole range and variety of sound vibrations that surround us. It’s not just music that affects mood; every noise that enters us leaves its mark. If you train yourself to appreciate all sound, you will be less likely to regard noise as an irritation and more likely to stay open and embrace it as a living experience.

Lowering Your Cancer Risk

Lowering Your Cancer Risk

Good news regarding the war on cancer: In the last decade, knowledge of the cancer process in humans has "significantly deepened," says Dr. John Potter, Head of the Cancer Prevention Research Program at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and Professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Community Medicine at the University of Washington.


"Cancer is often a product of nutrient-gene interaction," says Dr. Potter. "It's true that some people are born at higher risk for certain cancers, while some lead lives that raise their risk even further. But the important thing to remember is that many; perhaps all of us can profoundly decrease our cancer risk by making changes to what we eat and drink and how we live."
