Infertility or problems difficult to get a baby , in the world of medicine known as infertility . The definition of infertility is the following conditions : married couples who do not have children despite regular sexual intercourse without contraception within a period of one year .
So first of all of the definitions used , whether you are included in the category of infertile ( infertile ) ? If you and your spouse do not have children even though the touch was never using contraception , then first ask yourself , how long ?
The important thing to know is about the type of infertility . Infertility , there are two types , namely primary infertility and secondary infertility .
Primary infertility is infertility that occurs in women who have not been pregnant while secondary infertility in women who had been pregnant and given birth before . Much of what happens in society is a primary infertile .

WHITE WATER
There is one question that comes into my mailbox , which is " Why should drink lots of water ? "
Well , the answer is actually quite " terrible " but as an honest question must be answered honestly , then the topic can be explained as follows :
Approximately 80 % of the human body consists of water .
In fact, there are some parts of our body that has a moisture content above 80 % . The two most important organs with moisture content above 80 % is :
Brain and Blood !
The brain has a component of water by 90 % .
While blood has a component of 95 % water .
Ration of normal human drinking at least 2 liters a day or 8 glasses a day .
The number above should be added if you are a smoker .
Much water is needed to replace the fluid that comes out of our body through urine , sweat , respiration , and secretion .
What happens when we consume less than 2 liters a day ?
Of course the body will balance themselves . The trick ?
By the way " suck " water from the body 's own components . Of the brain ?
Not until segitunya ( wihh. dried brain .. imagine what it would be ... )
But from the nearest source : Blood !
Blood is aspirated water will be condensed .
As a result of this blood coagulation , then the journey will be less smooth than watery .
As it passes through the kidneys ( where filter toxins from the blood ) .
The kidneys will work extra hard to filter blood .
And because the kidneys filter the smooth , often thick blood can cause tearing of the renal glomerulus .
As a result , the reddish color of your urine , signs of kidney began leaking sieve . If allowed to continue , you may one day have to spend 400,000 dollars a week for dialysis .
Uh , I had already talked about the brain right?
So while gore flowing through the brain , travels somewhat hampered . The brain is no longer " dilute " , and because the brain cells are the most wasteful consumption of food and oxygen , slowness of blood flow can cause brain cells to die quickly or not working properly ... ( yes it was natural his name also eat less ... )
When this is coupled with heart disease ( which also works added weight when blood thickens ... ) , then the stroke could be coming soon .
Now stay you select : do " investment " by drinking at least 8 glasses a day or " pay interest " passing kidney disease or stroke
