Sun and slimming? We only connect these two logically when we talk about outdoor recreation in good weather. But not in China, or more precisely, in Hong Kong. There, women stare at the sun in order to lose extra pounds. Solar, not a clock, but a chicken, that is. Bizarre trend, but it probably works.

Premature ejaculation or Ejaculation is a fairly common phenomenon that affects every tenth man. The fact is that there is no absolute rule for how long a man should last, and the average time (based on a sample of 500 couples) is five and a half minutes.

When we think about the main things that keep us healthy, like diet, sleep and exercise, it's easy to imagine them on parallel roads, where what we do in one lane doesn't even affect the other lane. But if we scientifically study complex biological processes, then it becomes clear that the roads of health are much more intertwined than we thought.
