Pattaya: Biker Crashes, Then Beaten by Pickup Driver in Road Rage Attack
Hi, exact cause of the accident is not pinpointed. But it is outrageous that the driver physically attacked the injured man(who cannot move or resist). That is why those bystanders felt provoked. That response itself, looks pretty humane; confronting the violent stranger to protect the vulnerable under physical attack. That's why I call it Valor. Whose Fault was it? It is not an issue here. It is police job to find out.- 1

Peru’s Sexy Secret: Can Maca Boost Your Mojo and More
Maca Root: A Complete Overview What is Maca? Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a plant native to the Andes mountains of Peru. Sometimes referred to as "Peruvian ginseng" (though it's not related to ginseng), maca grows at high altitudes in harsh conditions and has been cultivated for thousands of years. The root, which resembles a turnip or radish, is the part used for food and medicinal purposes. Maca root is typically dried and consumed in powder form, though it’s also available in capsules, extracts, and liquid tinctures. Traditional and Modern Uses Historically, maca was used by indigenous Andean people as a staple food and a remedy to boost stamina, fertility, and endurance, especially in high-altitude environments. Today, it is used around the world for various health-related goals: Energy and endurance support Hormonal balance Improved mood and mental clarity Sexual health and libido enhancement Menopause symptom relief Common Types of Maca There are several types of maca, each with slightly different effects: Yellow Maca: The most common and studied form, generally considered good for energy, mood, and hormonal balance. Red Maca: May be beneficial for prostate health and bone density; often recommended for women. Black Maca: Thought to be the most potent variety, especially for enhancing memory, sperm production, and athletic performance. Proven Benefits While research is ongoing, some benefits of maca have been supported by scientific studies: Libido and Sexual Function: Maca is perhaps most famous for its potential to enhance libido in both men and women. Some studies show improvements in sexual desire and performance, though the exact mechanisms are still being explored. Fertility Support: Particularly in men, black maca has shown some promise in improving sperm count and motility. Energy and Mood: Many users report increased stamina and mental clarity. Maca may help combat fatigue and mild depression, likely due to its nutritional profile and adaptogenic properties. Hormonal Balance: Some evidence suggests maca may help alleviate symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes and mood swings, without directly affecting estrogen levels. Cognitive Function: Preliminary studies in animals and anecdotal human evidence suggest potential for improved memory and learning, especially with black maca. Myths and Misconceptions Maca Works Like Viagra: While maca may support libido and stamina, it does not act instantly or in the same way as pharmaceutical ED drugs. All Maca is the Same: Different colors and preparation methods can result in varying effects. Raw vs. gelatinized (cooked) maca also makes a difference in digestibility and potency. Maca is a Hormone: Maca doesn’t contain hormones but is thought to support the endocrine system in regulating hormone production. Possible Side Effects Maca is generally well tolerated but can cause issues in some individuals: Digestive Discomfort: Especially with raw maca, some users may experience bloating or gas. Hormonal Sensitivity: Those with hormone-sensitive conditions (e.g., breast or prostate cancer) should consult a healthcare provider before using maca. Insomnia: Rarely, increased energy from maca may interfere with sleep if taken late in the day. Pairings with Maca Maca is often combined with: Ashwagandha: For a synergistic adaptogenic effect on stress, energy, and hormonal support. Tongkat Ali: For enhanced libido and testosterone support, particularly in men. Ginseng: To further support endurance and cognitive performance. Cacao: For mood and antioxidant benefits, often mixed into smoothies. Most Common Uses of Maca Enhancing libido and fertility Boosting energy and endurance Balancing hormones, especially during menopause Supporting mood and mental clarity Improving physical and mental performance Conclusion Maca root is a nutritionally rich adaptogen with centuries of traditional use and growing modern popularity. While not a miracle cure, it can offer notable support for energy, sexual health, hormonal balance, and overall well-being. As always, it’s best to consult a healthcare provider before beginning any new supplement, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are on medication. -
