Porn addiction, health problems, high blood pressure

The previous article Free help for porn and masturbation argued that it is a health problem, and that lack of sleep (because of porn addiction) can result in high blood pressure.

Here is the proof. The chart below showed that on the morning following a no-sleep night, the blood pressure was very high and remained so for the rest of the day (highlighted with red circles):

Lack of sleep can also lead to inattention and can further lead to risks of serious accidents. Porn addiction can also steal time from you preventing you from doing other healthier stuff like exercising, going out for fresh air, etc.

In addition to all those problems above, porn addiction may cause you to neglect your job and increasing the risk of getting sacked. Or if you are a student, getting bad grades, failing exams and failing to get into college, etc.

Agree that porn addiction is a problem? Then read more

Porn and masturbation addiction. A health hazard?

Porn and masturbation addicts are not confined to just adults. Even teenagers with raging hormones can easily be hooked by pron and masturbation addiction. Porn and masturbation addictions are like any other addictions can be very hard to break without help and counseling.

The first step to breaking any addiction is realization that one is addicted. Realizing that one is addicted however may not lead to steps to try to break the addiction. One need to accept that it is a problem.

Are porn and masturbation addictions a health problem? Porn addicts may be excessively watching porn and not sleep enough. Not enough sleep is definitely a health concern from my own experience as on days I did not sleep the night before, my blood pressure and pulse rate is sky high. I keep a chart of my blood pressure and if you don't believe me, I can show it to you .

Insufficient sleep can also lead to psycological problems like depression. It is also believed that lack of sleep can trigger bipolar disorder. Now if you are addicted and accept that it is a problem and want to seek help, you may want to look at this new site for porn addiction. At the bottom of the page you will find a link to click on so as to get free help with addiction.

Stop Smoking: Immediate and Long Term Benefits

Immediate and Long Term Health Benefits by stopping smoking

According to a "poster" in the form of a cylinder representing a cigarette I saw yesterday at the Faculty of Dentistry, University Malaya, these are the immediate and long term health benefits that you get when you stop smoking:

Within 20 minutes when you stop smoking

  • Blood pressure drops to normal

  • Pulse rate drops to normal

  • Body temperature of hands and feet increases to normal

8 hours after you stop smoking

  • CO (carbon monoxide, a toxic gas) level in blood drops to normal

  • O2 (oxygen) level in blood increases to normal

24 hours after you stop smoking

  • Chances of heart attack begins to decrease

48 hours after you stop smoking

  • Nerve endings start to regrow

  • Ability to smell and taste is enhanced (increased)

Half to 3 months after you stop smoking

  • Lung function increases up to 30%

One to nine months after you stop smoking

Five years after you stop smoking

  • Pre-cancerous cells are replaced by healthy cells

  • Risk of other cancers decreases

Fifteen years after you stop smoking

  • Risk of coronary heart diseases is similar to that of a non-smoker
Aren't these sufficient reasons for you to stop smoking immediately? I hope you are convinced of the great health benefits you get by getting rid of your smoking habit. Note that I have made the word habit bold. Why? Habits are nasty stuff. Once you acquire a habit, it is pretty hard to stop. And smoking is addictive. But if you have the will power to stop, you can. Even if your will power is weak, but you wish to stop, help is available. There are medications like NICORETTE which is a nicotine gum. Other brand names include Commit, Habitrol, Nicotrol, Nicoderm, and Prostep.

Nicotine gum helps you stop smoking in various ways. One is of course it keep your mouth busy so your mouth have no opportunity to hold a cigarette. And the nicotine that gets absorbed helps to stop your craving to smoke. There are pros and cons of using nicotine gum and also a proper way to use it. You can get more information from Proper ways to use nicotine gum plus information of its pros and cons.

You can purchase Nicorette as well as other alternatives from Online Canadian Pharmacy Escrow Service. It says Canadian, but they deliver world wide. I believe if you are a US resident, you can order your Nicorette from Canada at half the price you can get in the US.

You should not use Nicorette beyond 12 weeks as it can be addictive if abused. I am not a medical doctor or pharmacist, so this post is for your information only. You should consult your doctor and you are also encouraged to do your own research. A good place to do that will be the website for "Physician Desk Reference". You can type or copy-paste "Physician Desk Reference" into the search box above, make sure the radio button (.) WEB is ticked, and click "Search". Their site should be the first on the SERP (Search Engine Result Page).

It is meant for medical professionals and students, but I see this on their website: "Access to PDR.net and Thomson Clinical Xpert is free to U.S.-based MDs, DOs, Dentists, Optometrists, NPs and PAs in full-time patient practice, and to U.S. medical students, residents and other select prescribing allied health professionals". Note that I have made the word residents to draw your attention to it, as to me, it means if you reside in the US, you get free access. However, I am not a US resident, so I cannot verify that for you. If you happen to be a US resident, I hope you will try to get access and leave your feedback by leaving a comment in this post.
