    Ini Edo Loses Pregnancy Again: Actress Suffers Another Miscarriage 6 Years After Marriage
    Less than 8 weeks ago, the news of Ini Edo’s conception was the most talked about story on the net with many of her fans including Me wishing her a safe delivery but as we speak, the reverse is the case.
    Ini Edo has suffered yet another miscarriage making this her third miscarriage since her highly celebrated wedding in 2008.
    A source who told me on a condition of anonymity claimed that Ini Edo’s ex-Husband’s wife, another Nollywood actress is behind her problem.
    We learnt when Ini Edo allegedly snatched Phillip Ehiagwina from her over 8 years ago, she allegedly vowed that she will remain barren in her husband’s house.. Though she (name withheld) said it out of anger, since then Ini Edo has been having one miscarriage after the other.
    Ini Edo was in her late first trimester when she lost this pregnancy, a case similar to her other pregnancies.

    How Taiwo Hassan Ogogo recovered from his strange sickness! [PHOTO]

  • Wednesday, 25 June 2014
  • ogogo recovers sickness 
    Veteran yoruba movie star, Taiwo Hassan aka Ogogo has fully recovered and gained back his weight which he lost many months ago after battling a strange sickness which almost took his life.
    Today, Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo has bounced back and is doing even better than when he had the unfortunate break.
    After quitting the social scene for a while, the actor was recently spotted at Oga Bello's daughter wedding. Thank God he is healthy now!
    He spoke about the illness in a not-so-recent interview below:

    "May such sickness not come near us again...Let me put it as all things come from Allah. At times, you may be thinking that you are doing the wrong thing and God might say you are right and verse versa. Everybody has his or her trying period, only that you won’t know when God will try you. But according to my own faith, both good and bad cometh from God while the terrestrial powers are also there to carry out their wicked acts, if you say there is no terrestrial power, you are deceiving yourself. All you have to do is be prayerful. Throughout my illness, I did not think negatively, all my thoughts concerning the outcome of the sickness were positive. I was not the only sick person in the world at that time but I guess it became celebrated due to the nature of my job.
    During this period, I received series of calls, there was a time a call came through and the man at the other end asked if I was Ogogo and I said yes and the man shouted that this Ogogo speaking will not die and he started praying for me. That person called all the way from Ado-Ekiti. Even in Lagos, the noise was everywhere that I was dead but I give God all the glory that all the noise and cries were not over my corpse but they were voices raised to God for my survival.
    A lot of people have often asked why do women love Ogogo and I always tell them that it depends on the perspective from which they are looking at it, because as far as I am concerned, I am loved by both sexes through what I am doing. Whether I am good or bad at home nobody cares to know, it is what I do on screen that matters.
    A lot of reasons were adduced for your illness; some said it was cocaine that got bust in your stomach while others said you were afflicted with the dreaded AIDS disease. What exactly was the nature of your illness?
    I never gave it a thought because I had known that as a celebrity, lots of reasons would be adduced as to the cause of my illness. Despite all lies fabricated against Jesus Christ, and even Prophet Mohammed, God vindicated them, so who am I that people won’t talk about, let them talk. I have never seen cocaine before in my life, to God who made me. Or is it a crime for one to travel abroad?
    You know there were stories going round that most artistes are being used as courier for drug barons.
    I have never seen it before; all I know was that when we go abroad, our fans do appreciate us. Some will pray for you, some will give you gifts, some will even beg you to follow them to the nearest cash point to give you money. There was a time I traveled out with Yinka Quadri, carrying just one small bag. I came back with nine bags, and even left some with a friend, Sound Image, in the United Kingdom.
    Our fans always stand by us, they appreciate us a lot. I was amazed when we got to Dele Momodu’s house and the children greeted us traditionally. Funny enough, he speaks Yoruba to them at home. He was the first person that launched our movies with big cash. I don’t want to mention figures here but at the end of the day, the four of us that went to the UK came home with nothing less than 5,000 pounds, so imagine coming to Nigeria with such money and bags, they will immediately conclude we are into drugs.
    A woman ran into us and begged that she doesn’t have much on her that in two days time, she would be back for us and truly, she went to Italy and came back with beautiful pairs of shoes for me and Yinka. That shoe is still at home. I don’t throw things like that away. Is it Mama Islar, Sati Rahmon or Banke Kitchen and Stores, who is God-sent to me? When I was sick, she would call all the way from London and ask me to get someone to drive me to the bank as she would raise money on my behalf in London and send it to me. She will reel out the names of all the donors and how much each person gave. God will continue to guide her. I believe I don’t have a mother but there are some God-sent mothers surrounding me. What about Mama Oyo? I know her from nowhere, she came to my office and told me she wanted to say hi but on leaving, she would drop some money for me. God was able to let me know that even with my critical condition then, I never lacked. I was down, not working; yet, I was able to take care of the home front. I pay my children’s school fees. I can’t exhaust the list if I should start calling names of people that God sent to me during my trying period. When I saw the amount of money Alhaja Salawa Abeni gave me, I burst into tears, she consoled me by asking if I won’t do more if I found her in such a condition.
    You are a twin, are you the only twin in your family?
    No, we are four sets of twins but the others did not survive.
    Even your surname, Hassan means Taiwo.
    Yes, only that I don’t want to go by the name, Taiwo Taiwo, it was one of my Alfas that do call me Al Hassan and I like the name, so I told my father that I would adopt the name, Hassan Babatunde Taiwo.
    During your trying period, what role did your friends play?
    They tried their best
    Cuts in…because there was a story way back then, pointing accusing fingers at Yinka Quadri
    But you should know that when things like this happen, series of things would be said, even between a husband and his wife. People went as far as telling me that my sickness from somebody very close to me; like cloth to the skin; won’t you think it may be your wife or your best friend? But if you are a believer, you only need to commit everything to God Almighty. I have no other person than God, if anything is troubling me, all I need do is perform my ablution and talk to Him. As one grows older, one needs to also get closer to God.
    How old are you now.
    I am over 50 years now.
    You were able to reclaim your position after your recovery at a very swift pace…
    I don’t know o, it’s just God that did that, not me. Let’s just give him all the thanks. And if that is causing any bad blood again, the people concerned should please also work hard, so that they too will succeed at a very swift pace, as you have said.
    You also had your first baby boy after your recovery
    Yes, it is true, his name is Alleed. It’s not that I don’t have a baby boy, then but we lost him.
    I also learnt he is from another woman
    Yes.
    But do you remember telling me that the fact that your wife had only girls for you doesn’t mean you would marry a second wife to give you a male child, what happened?
    Honestly, I was on the point till this happened. At my age, no one will beat me for whatever it is that I do, but, whatever God says will surely be. I can’t deny a pregnancy I know and I’m convinced that I am responsible for because of one thing or the other. What if the same thing happens to one of my daughters, how will I feel? I have daughters and I wouldn’t want anything negative to happen to them. At that time, breaking the news to my wife was my main concern and I did not send anybody to her. I called her myself and explained to her and she saw that it wasn’t intentional but rather destined that such would happen. I also told my second wife to take my first wife as her mum and accord her all the respect she deserve.
    Your roles in movies portray you as a home builder, is this deliberate?
    That is what I believe we can be teaching ourselves. I am closer to ‘alfas’ and I know that some women are beyond mere women, same with men. They don’t give a damn about anything, they will impregnate a woman and move on to the next one, without caring for her and the woman will suffer alone to nurse the baby; the same way we have women who move from one man to the other. So back to the question, I just see it that I am doing what God has sent me to do in this world.

    Edu9ja Blog Health Talk! "What you didn't know about drinking water on empty Stomach'

  • Tuesday, 10 June 2014
  • It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven its value. For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases:


     
     Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and menstrual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases.

    METHOD OF TREATMENT
    1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water

    2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minutes.

    3.. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.

    4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours.

    5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day.

    6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life.

    The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/reduce main diseases:
    1. High Blood Pressure (30 days)
    2. Gastric (10 days)
    3. Diabetes (30 days)
    4. Constipation (10 days)
    5. Cancer (180 days)
    6. TB (90 days)
    7. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwards – daily..

    This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times.
    It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life. Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.

    This makes sense .. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...

    For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.
    It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion.

    Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine.
    Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

    A serious note about heart attacks:

    • Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting,
    • Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.
    • You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack.
    • Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.
    • 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up.
    • Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive...
    A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to everyone they know, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.
    Please be a true friend and send this article to all your friends you care about.

    10 Foods That Can Kill You If You Eat Them Before Going To Bed

  • Tuesday, 3 June 2014
  •  
    Most of us tend to lose sleep over stressful situations, so our last meal of the day, should not be one of the reason for our sleepless nights. What we chose to eat before we go to bed can drastically affect our sleeping patterns. While, there are some foods, which can induce sleep, other foods, particularly junk food or fired food can give us sleepless nights. So if you are looking for a good night’s rest, here are our top 10 foods to avoid before bedtime.

    Caffeine: Caffeine is a stimulant, which causes an effect on the brain, which enables people to stay awake. This effect can last for up to five hours after consumption before its effects wear off. So unless you want a sleepless night, skip that cup of coffee after dinner.

    Alcohol: You may think that a few glasses of alcohol will put you to sleep, but the truth is that it will only
    make you drowsy or make you pass out. Do not expect to have a good revitalising sleep after consuming alcohol.

    Cola: Many people cannot do without their glass of cola after dinner. Colas contain sugar and caffeine and will keep you up. Even if you try to sleep, you may keep waking up to pee as cola contains no nutritional value and is simply flushed out by the body.

    Spicy food: Most Indian food is spicy and can cause an increase in the amount of stomach acid, which could result in a burning feeling in your chest and stomach along with bloating and uneasiness. So chose a mildly spice meal before bedtime or ensure that you have your dinner at least three hours before you go to bed.

    Red meat: Red meat is filled with fats and proteins and takes a very long time to digest. If you consume red meat before bed, your body will be busy all night long trying to digest it and will therefore, cause uneasiness or even cramping. When you go to bed at night, your body also needs to rest, so avoid eating red meat before bedtime.

    Fried food: Fried food is an easy way to curb hunger pangs, but one should know that fried food like chips and French fries are high in saturated fats and take a long time to digest. When you try to sleep after consuming junk food, you may feel discomfort or even cramping. Try a quick veggie snack like raw carrots or nuts, if you feel hungry before bedtime.

    Chocolate bar: Chocolate bars are high in sugar and fat, which causes a sugar rush and can keep a person up for a long time. They also contain caffeine that is a known stimulant, which makes a person stay up longer. So, avoid eating a bar of chocolate before bedtime.

    Candy: A piece or several pieces of candy is usually an easy dessert substitute before bed. But a study published in The Journal of The Mind and Body, states that seven out of ten people have nightmares after consuming junk food like candy bars because they act like a trigger to create nightmarish brain waves. So, avoid eating candy and other hard boiled sweets before bedtime.

    Ice-Cream: Ice-cream may be comfort food, but it can have an adverse effect when consumed just before bed. Ice-cream contains fat, which is not easily digested. It also has a lot of sugar that makes you stay up late. To top it off, there are studies which show that consuming sugary foods before bedtime can cause nightmares and disrupt sleeping patterns.

    REVEALED: What You Dont Know About Skin Bleaching

  • Have you ever wondered how many black celebrities just turned white over night. The list is endless. Bleaching is definitely not a new thing. We can authoritatively reveal to you the secret behind these celebs new look.
    The new bleaching technique is in form of Injection/ Pill. You inject into the blood-stream and then take some pills. Interesting, this injection used for skin lightening, is part of the treatment for HIV and Cancer patients. The injection/pill gives a much brighter, even toned complexion when taken regularly.
    Glutathione is a very good anti-oxidant and very effective whitening if you will take it on a greater dosage. It is an anti-oxidant that cleans the liver, takes off free-radicals and helps the brain too. It is safe for everyone. It is given to cancer and HIV patients and in other diseases where glutathione is depleted.
    In HIV, glutathione levels are low and this contributes to immune deficiency as the lymphocytes need normal levels of glutathione to function properly. Glutathione is produced by the body and with age, the levels fall. Low levels or the Lack of glutathione leads to liver failure. It also leads to immune system failure and cells die from oxidative stress.
    It was discovered that patients on high dose Glutathione therapy had significant skin lightening as a side effect. Now this has become a fast growing treatment for cosmetic purposes. Injectable Glutathione has become more popular than tablets and are given intravenously 2 – 3 times a week for about 6 months. The digestive tract is bypassed and the maximum concentration reaches the target cells. Results are more dramatic in lighter skinned individuals and it is common to augment results with chemical peels. Glutathione is also known for its anti-aging benefits.
    Glutathione acts to lighten skin by inhibiting Tyrosinase the enzyme responsible for the production of the pigment Melanin without destroying the pigment producing cells known as Melanocytes.
    The most advisable dosage is 10-20mg/kg BodyWeight. To use glutathione as an anti-oxidant and for whitening it has to be 20-40mg/kg/BW. Example: 50kg x 20mg = 1000mg. You have to take it with Vitamin C in ascorbic acid form to be able to maximize its whitening effect.
    It is 100 percent proven that it really works to whiten skin. For most people, the first 3 months use of gluta is crucial for it is the time where gluta is building the foundation (body chemistry re-alignment) and once built this is only the start for its whitening process. The lightening of skin is gradual (speed is depending on your metabolism and body chemical functioning) this is where you will notice that your skin is shinier and healthier than before. After this process, you will notice that your shade is lighter than before. Glutha whitens the skin by reducing the melanin formation of the epidermis going up to the dermis
    There are definitely no side-effects of using gluta, you know why? Because its ability to whiten your skin is already its side-effect. There is also no harm in its prolonged use. Its advisable to take gluta with meal and never take it with liquor or any alcoholic drink.
    While taking this, you wont really become sensitive but you have to at least put sunblock lotion or cream to exposed parts of your body and your face.
    The active ingredient, Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that naturally occurs in the body and is capable of protecting the skin as well as the cornea, lens and retina of the eye against radiation damage.
    However, the use of glutathione in high doses for cosmetic purposes is a non-regulated procedure which could be fatal if not properly used. Glutathione is a drug and must be administered by a doctor or registered nurse. Side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, liver failure and death.
    The quest for lighter skin could cost you your life. This unregulated use of high dose glutathione is relatively new and time will tell what side effects may occur in the long term.

    14 Ways That Energy Drinks Can Ruin Your Health

  • Energy Drink is one of the Trending Drinks of This 21st Century. Consuming excessive amount of this harmful  drinks Can ruin your Health and can even Kill. So instead of solely relying on sugar and caffeine to get you through busy day, take a walk or drink plain water to feel more natural and long-lasting energy.
    The Following is 14 Reasons Why you Must Quit Drinking Energy Drink
    1) Side effects 
    If you were not already aware, energy drinks have some extremely serious side effects. Some of the side effects are: agitation, tremors, stomach upset, chest pain, dizziness, seizures, insomnia and even heart attacks. Just because they are easily available and look innocent enough does not mean that they can’t do some serious harm.
    2) Stress and anxiety
    In fact, one of the most convincing reasons to stop drinking energy drinks is that they can cause increased anxiety and stress. Some energy drinks are actually found to contain more caffeine than it is advertised on their labels. Too much caffeine has been known to cause jitters and the chronic stress, and a racing heart from massive amounts of caffeine is not all that comforting either.
    3) High in sugar
    Besides providing with artificial energy, these drinks typically contain a lot of sugar. Some drinks are known to have an average of 15 tsp of sugar. Aside from getting the dreaded sugar crash, sugar can leave you dehydrated and, as it is also known, suppress the immune system, increase inflammation, lead to tooth decay and weight gain.
    4) Mood changes
    If you regularly consume energy drinks, you may want to think carefully your beverage choice. Studies have shown that those who frequently drink the stimulant caffeine have been known to have reduced serotonin levels. This substance is known as the feel good neurotransmitter. A depletion of this hormone has been linked to low mood, anxiety and depression.
    5) Taxes organs
    Another danger of energy drinks is that they can be taxing on your organs. Your heart, liver, brain, digestive tract and kidneys are all working as if you are in a flight or fight situation and ultimately get drained from all the work. Energy drinks trigger your organs to react as if they are in a dangerous situation so you can imagine how bad it can be.
    6) Insomnia
    While you might like the sudden surge of energy and vigor when you are trying to make it through a tiresome afternoon, it is not so helpful when you are ready to turn in for the night. Such drinks can cause you to lose out on deep and restful sleep at night so that you end up turning to it again the next day. Quit the cycle and get energy in more natural, safe ways through workout, water and healthy snacks.
    7) Cost
    These days people are pretty much strapped for cash. Energy drinks can end up costing you up to $900 per year or even more. The average energy drink can cost you between $3-4. So if you have got a daily habit, you are spending enough money to snag yourself whole lotta new shoes, clothes and other fabulous items.
    cool Artificial sweeteners
    Diet or low calorie energy drinks tend to use sweeteners such as aspartame. In response to the ever growing obesity problem, companies began producing versions without sugar of their energy drinks some years ago. A serving of their sugar free flavors only cost 20 calories but the bad news is that the aspartame used to sweeten this kind of drinks can be even worse for you than sugar.
    9) Artificial flavors and colors
    Most energy drinks on market shelves are not made from real juice, so they need artificial colorings and flavorings to make them taste and look more appealing. You will be terrified to know that certain energy drinks flavors are chock full of toxic chemical coloring. Manufacturers use several different food dyes, but one of the most common is red 30 even those which are not red. It has been tied to reactions ranging from migraines and headaches to temper tantrums, dizziness, aggressive behavior, hyperactivity, uncontrollable screaming and crying, nervousness, kicking, inability to sit still or concentrate in children.
    10) Adrenal fatigue
    Some people become tired after caffeine intake. This is a symptom of adrenal fatigue when the adrenalin system of your body becomes overtaxed by constant high caffeine consumption. The answer is not to increase caffeine even more but to reduce its amount, detox and get the adrenal glands back to a normal state. Remember it is hard to choose a safe dose because it varies from person to person and according to an individual tolerance. Between 499 milligrams to 999 milligrams in a day period will probably lead to some of the more severe side effects.
    11) B Vitamins
    This vitamin is one of the ingredients in almost every energetic drink. It is certainly beneficial to take recommended daily ratio but more than 34 mg of B3 or Niacin can cause flushing of your skin. Consumption of 2999 or more can result in liver toxicity. More than 99 mg of B6 can cause sensory nerve problems such as burning sensation and skin lesions.
    12) Ginkgo Biloba
    Gingko is some kind of herb and can cause some minor side effects in different people. These effects vary from headaches, nausea and diarrhea to dizziness, heart palpitations and restlessness. What is more ginkgo biloba can interact with other medication such as anti-depressants and blood thinners. One recent study found that this herb caused thyroid cancer in research.
    13) L-Theanine
    This amino acid is derived from green tea and most energy drinks and shots have begun putting so called green tea extract in their beverages. It can produce a different type of alertness than caffeine and there has been no scientific evidence of it causing adverse side effects. Some people have reported feeling light headed after consuming a dose of more than 299 mg of L-Theanine.
    14) Allergic reactions
    The most common energy drink ingredient caffeine can lead to several allergic reactions such as rash, itching, hives, swelling of the tongue, mouth, face or lips, difficulty breathing, tightness in the chest, vomiting.

    It is not always necessity to think about different illnesses and conditions when you have a back pain. Even healthiest individuals can experience this discomforts in everyday life. Read the article and you may be a bit surprised about some causes of your back pain.

    Sleeping on an old mattress

    A good mattress lasts eight to ten years. If you have not replaced yours for more than 10 years chances are that your spine is not getting the support it needs. Replace your old one with mattress that is not too hard and even not too soft. The curves of your back won’t sink in and
    won’t offer enough support.

    Carrying a huge bag

    If you are someone who likes to carry around your home, your back won’t be grateful. Carrying a heavy bag on a side of your shoulder causes your body to become imbalanced, getting your spine out of balance too. Switch to a lighter bag. Your purse with everything in it should weigh no more than ten percent of your body weight.

    Wearing stilettos or flats

    Heels which are too high for you force you to arch your back, putting stress on your joints. Flats can be bad for you as well, depending on your foot type. Sandals without a supportive back do damage, causing your feet to move from side to side and distributing your body weight unevenly. Everyone has an ideal heel height. Find yours.

    Holding a grudge

    Researchers at one university found that people who practice forgiveness experience fewer feelings of resentment, depression, anger and fewer aches and pains. Your emotions, muscle tension and thoughts can directly influence the strength of your pain signals. Not only are grudges bad for you physically, they do not do much for you emotionally either.

    Sitting all day

    Bad news for all of you with a desk job! It is bad for your health. Sitting around all day may feel nice, but most of you do not maintain proper posture while sitting in front of a computer all day, causing weakness of back muscles because of inactivity. Sitting also puts 50 percent more pressure on your spine than standing does. If your office does not get you a standing desk to help keep your core and back muscles engaged all the time, lean back throughout your day so you are sitting at a 130 degree angle to reduce compression of the discs in the spine. Finally, be sure your head is straight, not straining forward, when using the comp.

    Stressing out

    If you are stressed out, your whole body is also stressed including the muscles in your neck and back that contract and clench up. And if you keep stressing, those tight muscles do not get a chance to relax, causing pain. There are a lot of proven ways to lower your stress levels including exercise, meditation and a warm bath.

    Skipping workouts

    Exercise builds muscle tone that is vital for supporting your back. When you do not get enough of it, you experience stiffness, weakened muscles and your spinal discs become degenerated. Workouts that strengthen the back and abdomen are your best choice.

    Eating too much junk food

    Not surprisingly, an intake of high calorie and low nutrient food leads to weight gain. That weight gain can put a load on your back. Excess weight around the midsection causes the pelvis to pull forward, creating stress for the back. Overweight individuals are at an increased risk of osteoarthritis.
     Dropping even 5 to 10 percent of your body weight can improve your back condition.

    8 Ways To Treat and Cure Annoying Mouth Odour

  •  
    Its a Big shame seeing people turn their faces away from you or bringing out their handkerchief when you are talking to them. This can get anyone embarrassed in public, bad breathe aka mouth odour (halitosis), is somewhere up on the list.
    Often the odour is caused by bacteria present below the gumline and on the back of the tongue or many different conditions, including disorders in the nasal cavity, sinuses, throat, lungs, esophagus, stomach or elsewhere, says the Wikipedia.
    But whether it's a fleeting case of morning breath or a lingering bout with halitosis, everyone has bad breath sometimes and we all would like to get rid of it...
    1. Brush Your Mouth As Your Mom Taught You! Yes, you should try to follow the morning and evening toothpaste-on-toothbrush in your mouth routine. You cannot skip brushing your teeth and expect fresh breath. You just have to brush, either with pako or smooth ash, just brush and save us your bad breath! Remember to clean your tongue too!
    2. Keep Your Mouth Wet!  If your mouth is too dry, the risk of bad breathe resulting is very high. It doesn’t matter if it is day or night. Your mouth needs saliva constantly because it is a natural antibacterial mouth cleanser. Saliva contains oxygen which deters the growth of bacteria. So keep bad breathe at bay by keeping your mouth salivated all day – stay wet in the oral cavity by drinking a lot of water. It has been said that sucking a sweet or chewing gum can also help stimulate saliva production.
    3. Avoid Food That Cause Bad Breathe!  Some foods like garlic and onions are easily identifiable culprits. Also, also food whose particles are known for sticking around after meals, like meat, should be eaten with caution. These food particles that gather and get stuck between teeth are grounds for reproducing bacteria.
    4. Rinse Your Mouth With Plain Water Regularly! Try as much as possible to rinse your mouth with ordinary water as often as possible, after meals inclusive – no matter what you ate, even pap! It helps rebalance your mouth's pH levels. Allowing food particles to remain in your mouth is one way of inviting bad breathe creating bacteria to settle in.
    5. Add Sweet Smelling Fruits To Your Diet! Foods that smell good also make your breath smell good. Your breath will ‘borrow a leaf’ from fruits like banana, watermelons, berries, oranges and other fruits with lots of vitamin C. The bacteria in your mouth are as scared of vitamin C as you are afraid of swallowing poison – it kills them. So the more vitamin C laden foods/fruits you eat the more oral germs you massacre and the better for your breath.
    6. Cut Down On The Smoke! Do you know that smokers are more likely to get oral infections which in turn case bad breathe? This is in addition to the fact that smoking causes a build-up of plaque on the average smoker’s teeth. Guess what, plaque is an ideal place to harbour odour-causing bacteria. Smoking also dries out the mouth.
    7. Visit The Dentist! If you have tried everything possible, including all in this article and your bad breath is still acute, then it might be time to get your mouth cleaned by a dentist. There, apart from getting get tartar removed from the teeth, the dentists can also identify any infected areas that need treatment.
    8. Drinking Herbal/Green Tea Won’t Hurt! If you're serious about combating bad breath, chase your meal with green tea or sip it throughout the day. Green tea helps keep your breath fresh because it has antibacterial compounds that fight the germs in your mouth.

    As humans have different attributes, so does the menstrual flow cycle differ in women but one sure thing is that it occurs in every woman.

Etstrogen  is a female steroid hormone that is produced by the ovaries. Also, a situation whereby the menstrual flow ceases or runs irregularly is known as Hypothalamic amenorrhoea.

    Weight
    In some cases, a very skinny woman is likely to miss her periods while heavy menstrual flow is associated with women who are too fat or overweight and this happens due to high levels of estrogen resulting to menometrorrhagia.

    Talking About Fats, How Do They Get Stored In The Belle & Body As A Whole?

    For your body cells to sustain its normal external and internal functions as well as acquiring the required energy to feed, you simply need food. The energy present in a food can be measured in terms of “calories”. 


    The amount of energy that your body can get from a plate of food you eat is determined by the calories that are contained in the food.  Your body also needs to dispense a certain required level of energy in order to digest the foods you take in so as  to get energy from them. In a simple term, ‘The harder the food is to digest, the more energy is required by your body to digest it.

    Here, we’ll point out four things that basically have to do with food.

    (1) The process in which fat gets stored in your body
    (2) Macro-nutrients and their different calories present in food
    (3) The reason for the “fat/flab” on your belly, hips, chest and upper body 
    (4) Four ways you can burn down fat

    The process in which fat gets stored in your body –Your body gets energy in the form of carbohydrates, proteins, minerals or fats and this happens when you consume food. Your body gets these fuels through the process of digestion and assimilation. Your body then uses up a part of the fuel to fulfill its normal sustenance, functional and requirements and the excess fuel is stored up eventually in the form of “Fat” in the “fat cells” of your body, some amount of fat is also stored around the kidneys and in the liver (Another reason for belly fat).

    Macro-nutrients and their different calories present in food  There are three macro-nutrients that can be present in a food – Carbohydrate, Protein and Fat. Fact, 1g of protein contains 4 calories, 1g of carbohydrate contains 4 calories and 1g of fat contains 9 calories.
    So basically fats can provide more (double) calories to the body compared to the other two nutrient units. But please before you assume that eating fat is bad, it is NOT. Infact, eating some kind of fat would help you burn off belly fat and lose weight because they are essential and healthy for the harmonious functioning of the body.

    The reason for the “fat/flab” on your belly, hips, chest and upper body –Under normal conditions, the human body has “limited” fat cells and there is a limit to how much fat can be stored up in these cells. Once these cells have reached their limit, the fats start getting stored up in your muscle linings (Fat around the thigh, hips, arms etc).
    Fat cells are usually present in the regions of your chest, waist and hips. As more fats get stored in those cells, they grow in size and the larger they grow in size it becomes visible around the chest, waist and hip regions in men and women. Once the fat cells reach the limit of their expansion, the fats start getting stored in the muscle linings of arms and thighs creating flabbiness in these limbs also.

    Four ways foods can help burn fat in the body – Now that you have understood the process of how fat gets stored, you may now ask “So how can food help in burning fat when it’s a source of calories and fat storage?” Just continue reading, your answers are below...

    (1) Some foods contain certain vitamins or minerals that help improve the metabolism of your body. Metabolism in lay man’s terms is the rate at which your body uses up energy stored. So a fast metabolism = Fat loss and a slow metabolism = Fat storage. Certain foods improve the fat burning capacity of the body and so are called fat burning foods.

    (2) Some foods contain fewer calories but require more energy to digest them. So by eating such foods, your body uses up stored fat in your body just to break and digest them, so such foods are again called fat burning foods.

    (3) There are some foods that satisfy you more quickly than others and keep you full for a longer period of time than other foods even when you eat them in small quantities. When you eat them you’ll find that you don’t get hungry quickly and do not crave for more food. This helps in controlling the amount of food you eat and hence less fat on your body.

    (4) Certain methods of preparing the calorie profile of the food further helps in reducing fat creation. For instance, boiled, steamed or baked foods goes a long way in reducing the calories contained in the food than 'deep-frying' the food, which 99% of us are fond of.
