Viagra and Alcohol

Viagra and alcohol are the great problem of compatibility. It’s no secret that often sexual relations are closely connected with taking alcohol. Let not reefer to morality, besides this article is dedicated to quite another thing; let’s try to clear the question of the combined taking Viagra and alcohol.

Men with poor potency or erectile dysfunction of different types have some need in taking Viagra before coitus. Correspondingly, there appears a reasonable question about Viagra and alcohol compatibility, so let’s consider it more closely.

It’s possible to state with confidence that the combined taking Viagra and alcohol won’t lead to any global problems; at least such cases weren’t registered in the world medicine. At the same time you should take into account that no full-fledged large-scale research work was registered. Besides, it’s necessary to have in mind that alcohol itself influences man’s erection badly oppressing the central nervous system. So the best and the most reasonable decision is to abstain from alcohol if coitus is being planned.

At the same time you should remember that the combined Viagra and alcohol taken together increase heart load that isn’t very pleasant. Viagra preparation was produced to improve erection and is absolutely harmless for your organism, though you shouldn’t experiment and Viagra together with some doubtful strong drinks. It won’t definitely lead to health problems, but there’s no reason to spoil your sexual delight.

Ecstasy Heightens the Risk of Sleep Apnea

American scientists have found that ecstasy heightens the risk of sleep apnea – prolonged breath-holding in one’s sleep having negative consequences for health, PhysOrg reports.

The syndrome of sleep apnea is a widespread disease (about 15 per cent of Americans suffer from it). It can worsen the course of hypertension, coronary disease, and lower mental abilities and heighten the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

The scientists from Jones Hopkins University in Baltimore have carried out a study which included 71 people who had taken ecstasy for 25 and more times and 62 people of the control group. During the research all the volunteers were read polysomnocinematography allowing to estimate breath rhythm in sleep.

Light form of sleep apnea met more often in the control group, but moderate and serious forms were observed only in the group of ecstasy consumers – 13 and less than 1 per cent correspondingly.

At the same time the frequency of breath-holding directly depended on the duration of taking the preparation.

According to the researchers, such an effect of ecstasy is connected with metabolic disorder of serotonin neurotransmitter which also takes part in sleep and breath regulating.

Initially ecstasy is regarded as empatogen MDMA, though these homemade tablets contain a number of other psychoactive substances often exceeding the amount of MDMA.

In 2006 Brazilian scientists found out that sildenafil – the active component of Viagra – is able to worsen the course of sleep apnea.

Viagra Destroys Fat and Stimulates Slenderness

Viagra is useful not only for men. The famous preparation raising potency possesses some unique qualities able to help women overcome such a fault of their figure as cellulites. At least, the scientists, developing new anti-cellulites cream with Viagra additive, are sure about this fact.

Sildenafil, known as Viagra, influences women’s excitability. But, according to the scientists, its advantage for the fair sex isn’t at all in this. The addition of the preparation to the moistening cream can help in the struggle with hated “orange skin”.

The scientists from the University Hospital “Sisters of Charity” in Zagreb (Croatia) explain that under the skin of women suffering from cellulites there’s thicker changed fat streak. Speaking scientific language, cellulites (from the Lat. Cellula – “cell”) – it’s a specific transformation of adipose tissue among women in case of which lymph drainage and blood supply are damaged under the influence of various factors.

The adipose tissue affected by cellulites is out of the process of fat exchange, At the same time the connective tissue braiding fat cells grows and begins to compress and push them out. As a result there appear some bumps on the skin surface, and the so-called “orange skin effect”. The substances stimulating releasing fats can not penetrate into the cell affected by cellulites to start up the mechanism of their outflow. As a result, the cell continues take up fat and can’t easily release it the very moment when the organism needs this.

The cells affected by cellulites take up toxins in great quantities. The walls of the cells thicken, harden, which makes fat outlet more difficult. Due to the disorder of nutrient inflow through blood, the skin loses elasticity, becomes flabby, and all its unevenness – more evident.

It’s nice to realise that some more remedy has been found to struggle with this misfortune. And what remedy! Though it’s not clear yet if sildenafil is possible to operate in woman’s organism (till now the testing was held only in test-tubes).  Though it’s difficult to suppose that the preparation stimulating blood inflow will take out decomposed fats from the problem zones more intensively.

Carmella Altabas, the leader of the research-work, professor, told us about the project of the new anti-cellulite cream. She’s sure that the cream based on Viagra has a great future. While the scientists try to derive a new formula, millions of women look forward to the appearance of this magic preparation. To this day, in spite of many methods get rid of the dumps on the skin surface guaranteed by cosmetologists (for a considerable amount of money), no can be called panacea.
