However, while health issues are a concern for everyone, no one knows the perfect way to manage them, making it a black box of sorts. Over the 100,000 years of human evolution, efforts to maintain and preserve physical health have repeatedly been thwarted by various diseases and aging.

South Korea [Publisher Damwha Column] “Visa-free entry for Chinese tourists and tax-funded tourism subsidies are gambling”

Medically speaking, metabolic rate during sexual activity is reported to be 2–3 times higher than usual. The American Heart Association (AHA) and Mayo Clinic have repeatedly warned that dehydration increases th
