TIPS FOR TOTAL HEALTH: LAUGH ONCE A DAY AT LEAST AND STAY MOIST
Laugh once a day at least
If laughter was really the best medicine, clowns would be earning M.D.s. That said, a smile can still be a handy umbrella against a possible downpour of health problems.
"Just the act of laughing can be beneficial from both an emotional and physiological perspective," says Joel Goodman, Ed.D., director of the Humor Project in Saratoga Springs, New York. "Physically, respiration and circulation are both enhanced through the act of laughter. We oxygenate the blood, which energizes us and helps us think more clearly." Plus, Dr. Goodman says, research shows that laughter stimulates chemicals in the brain that actually suppress stress related hormones. "Stress in a man's life is inevitable, but humor helps us tickle stress before it tackles us. You shouldn't stifle your sense of humor; you should let it out," says Dr. Goodman.
Stay moist
One of the simplest ways to stay healthy is to drink plenty of water. Water is the oil that lubes the mind and body. On top of that, it helps regulate our temperatures, protects our joints, keeps our sexual equipment functioning at peak condition and even helps ward off certain types of cancer. And we almost never drink enough of it.
"There's not much nutritional value it has zero calories but we wouldn't last long without it," says Dr. Goldberg. He suggests drinking at least eight to ten eight ounce cups per day. "Keep some near you during the day and sip it regularly. You'll be surprised how much better you feel," he says. And when you're sick, drink even more. You'll replace the fluid you're losing and help your body cleanse itself of whatever you've caught.

SEXUALITY DEFINED: PAGAN POLYTHEISTIC INFLUENCES - ROMAN SEXUALITY
Although there is reasonable agreement among most authorities regarding the characteristics of Greek sexuality, Roman customs and values are a matter of considerable debate. Conventional wisdom holds that the Roman society was as sexually promiscuous as the Greek; and it is popularly believed that the collapse of the Roman Empire was due, in no small part, to the sexual excesses of its citizens (Canter, 1963). These views have been challenged, however, on the grounds that the sexual excesses of Roman society have been greatly exaggerated and that the accounts of these events are biased and inaccurate (Bullough, 1976). Whatever the actual case, certainly Roman culture was more complicated and multidimensional than Greek society. The Roman Empire endured for a relatively long period of time; and, whereas the Greeks retained their beliefs and customs, Roman culture changed in the light of the changing empire and in the face of continuous exposure to other cultures.
The Romans, of course, shared the polytheistic religion of the Greeks, as well as the sexuality of their deities. Thus, they shared the Grecian religious approval of sex. As Grimal states:
To love was to obey the gods and achieve one of the requisites of the human condition. Chastity could be required by religious rites in certain cases, but it was not a good thing in itself; not even a desirable thing; it was rather an impairment of what was good and desirable for among the gifts of the gods to man, love is always to be found. [Grimal, 1967, p. xiii]
