Tomboy girls tends to become a lesbian in the future

tomboyThe behavior of a person does not necessarily reflect his sexual orientation, but this does not mean that there is no connection between them. According to a study, girls of boy want 1 to 3 which has a nature boy will grow up to become a lesbian.

In society in General, girls are identical to the behavior of soft and graceful and generally prefer to play dolls. Conversely, if there is a girl who likes to play the kite for example, it is said to have a male character or often called "tomboy".

Indeed, tend to become a lesbian is not caused by the behavior to be as, but by coincidence, the two are influenced by the same biological factors. The similarity lies in, among other things, factors genetic and conditions hormonal.

This was demonstrated in a study at Queen Mary University of London involving 4,000 pairs of twins female. Researchers have observed behavior and sexual attraction to children and to compare the differences in the genetic structure.

Observations show that genetic factors influence on 25 percent of the sexual orientation of children. While that non-compliance of sex as indicated by the behavior in contrast, the effect is almost as important, which is 31 percent.

Because his influence on behaviour is more, not all girls who have a contrasting character also has a nature of a lesbian. Based on the analysis of the submissions, only 1 of the 3 tomboys who grew up to become a lesbian.

"We believe that environmental and genetic factors also influence the difference in gender and sexuality of the young girls, such as exposure to hormones during pregnancy," said one of the scientists involved in the study, Dr. Qazi Rahman, according to the ReliefWeb.

pregnant woman smell sensitiveDuring pregnancy, a woman can be very sensitive to certain smells that could previously be well received.

As with some other changes that occur during pregnancy, pregnant women experience usually also of changes in the sense of smell becomes more sensitive. This condition is caused by the increase in estrogen hormone levels in their bodies.

According to Howstuffworks, a study of 2002 led by Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia suggested that women with high levels of estrogen hormones has greater sensitivity. This condition may also occur in women during the fertile period.

Researchers have said that more sensitivity to the smell and flavour are experienced by pregnant women and this may trigger a morning, and they have become more selective in the choice.

Yet across the researchers thought it would be beneficial because it would protect pregnant women from foods containing chemicals and toxins that are harmful to the fetus.

This condition usually occurs in early pregnancy when the body has yet to adapt to the changes that occur during pregnancy, particularly the fluctuation of hormones in the body. But no all pregnant women have a sensitivity to certain smells.

A study showed a smell of food or beverages such as coffee, meat, dairy products and some sharp spicy foods generally does are not favored by the pregnant women in early pregnancy.

To overcome them, pregnant you should try to avoid the odour which may aggravate the condition, they can ask their partners not to use scents that they do not like, and they must avoid the smell of certain foods.

Why city dwellers are more vulnerable to mental disorders

stressed urban peopleUrban life offers ease in life and very practical. Unsurprisingly, cities are like magnets that attract people to come and live there.

But have you ever thought that life in the city triggers the onset of mental disorders which is superior to stay in a small town or rural areas?

A study reported in the scientific journal Nature says that urban dwellers are more vulnerable to mental disorders than those who live in rural or smaller cities.

According to The Huffington Post, psychiatrist Andreas Mayer Lidenberg at the Institute of mental health and the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Heidelberg (Germany), examined the 32 respondents from large cities, small towns and villages. He asked the respondents to the difficult arithmetic problems, that he considered their work of brain.

In his research, he found that the brains of respondents living in major cities showed greater activity in the amygdala, which is part of the brain that are active in people with excessive anxiety.

He also found that those who grew up in urban areas show activity in the perigenual anterior Cingulate (pACC) cortex, a part of the brain involved in several studies on schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a disorder of the brain resulting in brain works does not properly.

The results of initial studies led him to undertake a more in-depth study, this time with Visual cues of scientists who frown on them when they solve arithmetic problems. Yet again, they found a response to stress plue than those who live far from the city.

For him, even the strongest genes associated with schizophrenia has increased by only 20 per cent risk of disruption. However, disease is twice as much risk in people who live in the city. Over the city, most at risk.

However, the number of respondents that are too small cannot represent a compelling conclusion. Therefore, plans research team conducting similar studies in large populations. This is the map of the relationship between social isolation with mental illness.

During this time, researchers have long sought a link between mental illness with the chaos of the city. Pressure of life in the city is strongly proved to be able to lead to mental disorders in people who live in it.
