Budapest is an amazing city with so many attractions that it is hard to know where to start. The health resort spas seem as good a place as any.

Budapest Spas

Budapest sits on a tectonic plate fault line in Eastern Europe. While earthquakes seem inevitable, one advantage to the location is the proliferation of mineral water spas in the city. Here are a few highlights.

The Gellert Spa Hotel is located in the center of Budapest on the eastern shore of the Danube River. From the front, the hotel looks like a classic renaissance building you would find in Paris or Vienna. The entrance to the hotel opens onto an indoor pool that looks like something out of ancient Rome. The square pool is surrounded by baroque columns and covered by a glass roof two stories above the water. Palms, plants and relaxing Hungarians are everywhere. It is staggeringly impressive.

For roughly ten dollars, you can have the full Gellert experience. There is on mixed sex indoor pool and two sections reserved for just men and women. In these reserved sections, one can get massage services, but keep in mind these are vigorous Turkish style massages. Put another way, you will be getting slapped around a bit instead of nearly falling asleep.

At the rear of the Gellert, there is an outdoor area that rivals any Las Vegas hotel. Unlike Vegas hotels with themes, this pool area is truly historic. The area comes with marble steps, ceramic tile mosaics and lush landscape. One tends to feel a bit like you are taking a bath in the Vatican.

Other Spas

Frankly, there are spas all over the place in Budapest. Although I didnt personally visit it, I was told very good things about the Kiraly Baths. Kiraly was apparently built during Turkish rule and the spa experience is entirely Turkish.

If you get the chance to visit Budapest, make sure you drop by one of the spas. Prices are relatively cheap and the experience is definitely worth it.

SEX AFTER PROSTATE DIAGNOSIS.

If you are diagnosed with any form of prostate disease, you will experience some type of erectile dysfunction, even if it is a surgical procedure using the nerve sparing technique.

There is no need to repeat the treatments weve already covered, but lets take a moment to review some of the possibilities that are available to men AFTER being diagnosed with prostate disease who experience erectile dysfunction:

There are now numerous erectile dysfunction drugs (EDDs) available. These drugs promote erections by increasing blood flow to the penis.

There is a substance called Prostaglandin E1 that can produce erections. It is produced naturally and can be injected almost painlessly into the base of the penis before sex.

A penile implant or prostheses can restore an ability to achieve an erection.

There are vacuum devices that are designed especially to create an erection by placing around the entire penis before sex.

While erectile dysfunction will most likely begin immediately following surgery for prostate removal, if the technique of nerve sparing is used there is a possibility of recovery within a year of the procedure. If non-nerve sparing is used the recovery of erectile function is highly unlikely.

There are studies that report sparing nerves on both sides of a prostate have regained erectile function in 60 70% of men. Also, erectile dysfunction drugs appear to work for up to 43% of men whose prostate was removed surgically. This shows a promising trend.

There is some difference when radiation therapy is used. The man will also experience erectile dysfunction but it usually doesnt happen until six months after beginning treatment. However, there is also good news here showing that as many as 50-60% of men regain erections with the use of EDDs.

When hormonal treatment is the route taken, erectile dysfunction will usually occur between two and four weeks after beginning treatment and is linked with decreasing sexual desire. Unfortunately the studies do not show the same results as the previous two treatments having little or no impact on erectile dysfunction. The good news, however, is that normal erectile function returns when the hormonal therapy is ended.

Many people know that erectile dysfunction is a very common condition affecting more than half of all men over age 40, but only few understand the close relation between erectile dysfunction and its physical causes. The consequence is the fact that the main majority of men do not seek treatment because they hope the problem is in their head, they think it is temporary or they are embarrassed discussing it

Speaking about such psychological causes, the true is men should think of their penis as a thermometer to detect underlying physical problems. For instance, hypertension leads to erectile dysfunction. At the same time, the presence of erectile dysfunction usually indicates that there are other physical problems the person should take in his consideration. Many surveys found that men with erectile dysfunction were more than twice as likely to have diabetes, and 1.6 times more likely to have blood pressure and high cholesterol.

Specialists agree that all men get plaque in the arteries and that means that in a certain condition the penis can experience a lack a blood supply.

The earliest stages of atherosclerosis involve abnormalities in the endothelial inner layer of blood vessels. The endothelial inner layer is a group of cells that regulates the ability of the vessels to respond to changes and dilate when necessary. Though the changes may occur throughout the body, he said, erectile dysfunction may be one of the first noticed symptoms.

Most of above problems can now be solved using a category of drugs named PDE-5 inhibitors (of which Viagra is the most known example). Any underlying health problems need special attention and need to be cured, but the success of these drugs is based on solving the lack of blood supply.

SAMBAR
A liquid substance traditionally eaten with dosai, idli, vadai and rice, among other things.
INGREDIENTS:
1 large Onion, chopped into big pieces
Vegetables, like carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin,
Some curry leaves (if available)
Coriander leaves chopped 1T (cilantro)
Juice of tamarind size of perhaps
1/2-3/4 cup Thur dal (cooked)
Salt to taste
3/4 tsp Turmeric powder
3/4 tsp Mustard seeds
1/2 tsp Fenugreek seeds (optional)
1 tsp Oil
2 tsp Coriander seeds
1/8 tsp Asafoetida (hing)
2 tsp Chana dal
10-15 whole red chili's, to taste
3-6 tsp Coconut (shredded)

PROCEDURE
Fry coriander seeds, asafoetida, chana and chili's and grind with coconut, use shredded dried if too lazy to deal with fresh. The quantity of coconut varies according to taste. Fry the onion for about 5 minutes in a little oil with the turmeric powder. Add the vegetables and some water and cook. I would add hard to cook veggies like carrot and chatyote first and cook for a while before adding sweet potatoes and pumpkin.(Can make this also with a single vegetable, no need to use all of them.) Don't overcook veggies, but when just cooked, add the tamarind juice, curry leaves and salt to taste, Soon after adding the tamarind juice, take a separate frying pan and heat up the 1T oil. When hot enough so that the mustard seeds will crackle when thrown in, put the mustard seeds in, once the crackling has stopped add the fenugreek seeds and stir until they turn a dark brown color (don't burn). Then add this the boiling mixture. Boil all together for another 5 minutes until the raw tamarind smell has left the solution. Now add the paste of masala and coconut and add the dal. Bring to a boil and switch off. Add chopped coriander leaves. Takes 2-3 hours for the flavor to settle down, but can be eaten right away also.

NOTES: Vegetables that must NOT be used are those that belong to the cabbage and cauliflower families. While frying ingredients for the paste, throw in the coriander seeds first and fry awhile before putting in the others, otherwise the coriander seeds won't fry properly and will taste pretty awful.

TANDOORI CHICKEN
Ingredients:
6 pieces Thawed chicken, skinned
2 tsp Ground Coriander
2 tsp Masala (Tandoori paste is available)
Red pepper powder
Dash Garlic powder
Salt to taste
1 tsp Ground jeera
Soy sauce (or yogurt needed only if tandoori masala is used)

Method
If you are using the ready made tandoori paste then life is a lot easier. Replace all occurrences of masala and soy sauce (or yogurt) with the tandoori paste. Take the chicken and make deep cuts in it (so that the Masalas seeps in quickly). If you are using soy sauce as the base, put some on the chicken pieces and let it seep in the cuts. Rub in the Masalas as a mixture or one at a time. The idea is to let the Masalas seep in the cuts with the soy sauce. You can leave it for little while to seep in. If you are using yogurt, you'll get a more authentic taste since the original TC is after all marinated in it. In this case, mix the Masalas in the yogurt first and then rub the stuff into the chicken cuts as before. The yogurt tends to leave a considerable amount of water behind. DON'T THROW THIS AWAY. Let it evaporate in the oven with the chicken. This will keep the pieces from getting dry if over-cooked. Cook the chicken until it starts turning brown and the cuts you made start "expanding."
