HealthQuitting Drinking: 7 Incredible Changes Your Body Goes Through When You Cut Out by Amosjaj(op): 7:23am On Aug 25, 2017
Many of us love having a glass of wine at the end of the day, having a cold beer on a hot day, or going out for a drink with our best friends.

Grabbing a drink once in a while is fun, and it can even be healthy for you!
Drinking a glass of red wine from time to time can promote heart health, fight certain cancers, strengthen your bones, and more.
Unfortunately, it’s pretty easy to go from one glass of wine to two, to most of a bottle.
Many of us have had those nights where we probably could have gone with one fewer drink, but after our hangovers are gone, we forget about it. After a hangover is over, though, alcohol still affects us long-term.
Did you know that cutting alcohol out of your diet completely can have huge health benefits?
Read on to find out all the benefits you might experience when you quit drinking!

Benefits You'll Notice When You Quit Drinking
Benefit #1: You'll Sleep Better

One of the many benefits you’ll notice when you quit drinking is better sleep.
According to a study in Alcoholism: Clinical And Experimental Research, alcohol disrupts sleep, which can lead to tossing and turning, waking up in the night, and being sleepy during the day.
Quitting drinking can lead to having a better night’s sleep and waking up feeling more refreshed and ready to take on the day.

Benefit #2: Your Risk For Cancer Decreases

Many people know that drinking a lot of alcohol can have negative effects on the liver, but it can also negatively affect many other organs.
According to the National Cancer Institute, alcohol consumption has been linked to breast cancer, head and neck cancer, liver cancer, esophageal cancer, and colorectal cancer.
Luckily, you can reduce your risk of getting these types of cancer by drinking less alcohol or cutting it out of your diet completely.
( Laura Caseley for LittleThings )
Benefit #3: You’ll Save Money

This might seem obvious, but when you stop drinking, you’ll save tons of money.
Instead of buying a $12 bottle of wine at the store, you can choose a $2 bottle of water, soda, or juice. At a bar, an alcoholic drink could run you $8, while a soda water will only cost a dollar or two.
It may not seem like a lot at first, but it all adds up. You could quickly have a few hundred dollars saved up just from drinking less!
( Laura Caseley for LittleThings )
Benefit #4: You’ll Eat Less

A study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition explains that alcohol affects dietary intake.
What this means is that even moderate drinkers ate more (or ate more poorly) while they were drinking.
Cutting out alcohol can help you eat a healthier diet, and help you consume less while you’re at a meal.
( Laura Caseley for LittleThings )
Benefit #5: You’ll Lose Weight

Since people tend to eat less (and more healthily) on days when they don’t drink, quitting drinking can help you lose weight!
Also, when you cut alcohol out of your diet, you cut out all those unnecessary calories (and some drinks have as many calories as entire meals!).
According to MyFitnessPal, a frozen margarita may have as many as 300 calories and 23 grams of sugar.
( Laura Caseley for LittleThings )
Benefit #6: Your Skin Will Clear Up

Vogue reports that alcohol can do serious damage to your skin, as it causes both dehydration and inflammation.
Giving up alcohol will not only make your skin feel more hydrated, it will also give you a more even complexion and reduce the looks of redness and broken blood vessels.
Even better, your skin may age more slowly!
( Laura Caseley for LittleThings )
Benefit #7: You’ll Reduce Acid Reflux

According to the US National Library of Medicine, alcohol consumption may be a risk factor for gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD.
NPR explains that alcohol relaxes the muscle between the stomach and esophagus, allowing stomach acid to come back up.
( Laura Caseley for LittleThings )
Getting Through The First Few Days

During the first few days of quitting alcohol, you may experience some symptoms of withdrawal, including tremors, insomnia, anxiety, depression, sweating, and more.
After about a week, you’ll notice some of the first positive benefits, like weight loss, better skin, and a healthier body

Health5 Essentials Things You Should Avoid Right After A Meal by Amosjaj(op): 5:21pm On Aug 23, 2017
A nutritious, well-balanced diet along with physical activity and refraining from smoking is the foundation of good health. Healthy eating includes consuming high-quality proteins, carbohydrates, heart-healthy fats, vitamins, minerals and water in the foods you take in while minimizing processed foods, saturated fats and alcohol.


Eating in this manner helps you maintain your body’s everyday functions, promotes optimal body weight and can assist in disease prevention.According to doctors, eating on time and in the right amount is highly required. There are several things that you should never do right after eating. These are:

1. Smoking

According to scientists, a cigarette after a meal is extremely dangerous, and it is damaging the whole body, because it is, as they say, as if you smoke 10 cigarettes at once. Also, smoking particularly affects the irritation of the intestines.The digestive system works on the whole body, and nicotine binds with oxygen in the blood, because then it’s more easily absorbed. Scientists warn that a cigarette after a meal dramatically increases the risk of bowel cancer and lung cancer.

2. Drinking tea

When you drink tea after your meal (especially dinner), you let it interfere with digestion.This is because a chemical tannin is present in tea and coffee which interferes with iron absorption. Though the beverages are known to relieve mental and muscular fatigue, they should be consumed only in moderation.
3. Fruits

Fruits are considered to be healthy but unfortunately their consumption after any meal (like lunch and dinner) is considered harmful. Eating fruits close to a meal, especially right after a larger meal and combine with other foods, it's held in the stomach too long along with other foods and will rot and ferment in the gut. If you experience indigestion, heartburn, burping and and other digestive discomforts and you blame on the meal - it could be the combination of the food, the fermentation with fruit that causes your upset stomach.
4. Sleeping

We have often told you to never go to sleep after food. According to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but there are good reasons for not sleeping right after a meal. While you’re napping, your body is hard at work digesting that last meal, and this can lead to problems ranging from indigestion, weight gain to a possible increased risk for a stroke.

5. Taking a Shower

When you bathe, your surface temperature increases according to the temperature of the water you use. When the water makes contact with your skin, your brain processes this change in body temperature as an immediate need to direct blood to your skin and bring your temperature back to normal. If you use cold water, your blood vessels dilate. As large volumes of blood in your skin dilate to dissipate the excess heat. This in turn causes more blood to flow in your skin, when the blood should actually flow to stomach to aid digestion.

BusinessHow To Come Up With Business Ideas by Amosjaj(op): 6:20pm On Aug 18, 2017
T takes an idea to make your dream of having a business a reality. Big businesses all started from someone having an idea. An idea is the first milestone in your entrepreneurial journey. Your business idea should centre on producing a commodity or providing a service which can in turn be exchanged for money.

So how do you come up with a business idea?

Consider your passion – What are your likes? What are those things you enjoy doing without necessarily being paid for it? Your business idea should be something of interest to you. Your businesses should be something you enjoy doing and can do with ease. This is because your passion will give you the necessary patience to be able to wait for the big bucks to start rolling in.

New trends and technology – When coming up with a business idea, make sure it is up to date with technology and trends. This is because technology is beginning to erase some businesses.

Be creative – Put a creative spin on existing business ideas. Your business idea should be geared towards creating something new or improving on a particular good/service/technology. It really does not make much sense for a business to produce the same product or render the same service as other businesses in the industry. This is because without something new or unique about your product/service consumers would rather stick with the product they know and this can drive you out of business in no time.

Problem solving – Seek to solve a particular problem in your community or society. Your product should be filling a particular vacuum. This guarantees a market for your product/service. No one wants to buy what will not be useful to them.

Do your research – Make adequate research on feasible and profitable business ventures. Not every idea is potential money making venture. Venturing into a business with a declining market will only result into loss of funds and liquidation after sometime.

Think of something that can eventually be a money making venture. Profit is one of the motives of business. Your business idea should be an idea that can generate money overtime

Education6 Subtle Signs That You Are Smarter Than Average by Amosjaj(op): 1:53pm On Aug 17, 2017
Chances are, you probably think you're smarter than your peers.

If social media is anything to go by, the constant stream of condescension and abuse, everyone thinks they're smarter than average.
However, its clear to anyone with the concept of "averages" this isn't the case for half of you.
Here are some signs that you're not in this half:
1. YOU'RE SARCASTIC
It's among the lowest form of wit, but a new study has suggested that it can promote creative thinking and requires considerable brain power.
As Professor Francesca Gino, one of the study's authors, explained:
To create or decode sarcasm, both the expressers and recipients of sarcasm need to overcome the contradiction (i.e., psychological distance) between the literal and actual meanings of the sarcastic expressions.
This is a process that activates and is facilitated by abstraction, which in turn promotes creative thinking.

2. YOU'RE BILINGUAL
Speaking more than one language can slow the rate of diseases like Alzheimer's and Dementia.
In addition it can affect your brain development and efficiency - so get on a course sharpish.
3. YOU'RE THE OLDEST CHILD
Oldest children tend to score slightly higher on IQ tests than younger siblings - according to one study.
However, this did not appear to be genetic and seemed to be related to familial environment.
4. YOU'RE LEFT HANDED
Left-handed people are only 10 per cent of the world's population, and studies have shown they very well may excel a little more.
Lefties have been shown to have slightly better cognitive skills than the average human.
5. YOU'RE FUNNY
There's an evolutionary advantage to being funny - humans are social animals and we find funny people attractive.
A good question is, why? It's possibly because if you have strong abstract reasoning skills, or verbal intelligence you're likely to be smarter.
A joke is essentially just finding a twist in disassociation or dissonance and joining two dots that sit weirdly with each other, which releases endorphins when you laugh - it's a social point of connection, a "we both get this" moment.
If you can engineer that consistently, you're probably a little bit smarter than average.
6. YOU DOUBT YOUR INTELLIGENCE
Socrates once said:
The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

He was a pretty smart guy.
He hinted at the Dunning-Kruger effect, first observed in 1999, which found that intelligent people are more able and willing to correct their own mistakes.
If you're willing to spot errors and amend them, rather than stubbornly believe you're right, you're probably a shade smarter than others

Education10 Words That Nigerians Use Daily But Do Not Exist In The Dictionary by Amosjaj(op): 1:46pm On Aug 17, 2017
Here's a list of words that do not exist in the English Dictionary which Nigerians use on a daily basis without realizing that those actual words do not exist and even those that exist are not exactly what they think it means.



1. Installmentally:

This “word” is a favourite of many Nigerians, but, sadly, it simply does not exist. You won’t find it any reputable dictionary. The correct thing to say when “installmentally” comes to your mind is in instalments or by instalments.
2. Plumpy:

Nigerians use “plumpy” when they want to say that someone is chubby or slightly fat. The correct expression is plump.

3. Disvirgin:

This particular “word” is used severally on a daily basis, especially by Nigerian men when they intend saying that a woman has lost her virginity to a guy. The correct word to use, however, is deflower, because “disvirgin” is not a word.

4. Crosscarpeting:

This is a favourite of Nigerian politicians and political analysts alike. They use it when they want to say that a politician has dumped his political party for another party, usually a rival party. The right terms to use when describing this scenario are party switching, defection and crossing the floor and not “cross-carpeting” or “crosscarpeting.”
5. Go-Slow:

The word go-slow exists, but not in the way Nigerians use it. A “go-slow,” in the peculiarly Nigerian context, is a situation in which road traffic is very sluggish due to vehicle queues. However, go-slow in the English language actually means an industrial tactic used by employees whereby they intentionally reduce activity, productivity and efficiency in order to press home some demands. When this happens, you say that work in the office, factory or organization is at a go-slow. The correct terms to use when road traffic is very sluggish due to vehicle queues are traffic jam, traffic congestion, gridlock, and (less technically) hold-up, not “go-slow.”

6. Cunny:

“Cunny” is not found in authoritative dictionaries, but it can be found in some slang dictionaries. Over there, it is a slang used to refer to a woman’s v**ina. The correct term to use is cunning (which is used to describe someone that is being deceitful or crafty) and not “cunny.”

7. Opportuned:

There is nothing like “opportuned” anywhere in the English language, but that has not stopped its blatant use by all and sundry in Nigeria, including journalists and writers. The correct word is opportune. The word opportune is an adjective; therefore it has no past tense. An adjective has no past tense. However, some verbs can function as adjectives or adverbs in a sentence. These verbs are called participles and they do have past tenses. They are not pure adjectives. Examples of participles are fattened, amused, disgusted, mystified, overwhelmed, upset and bored. Be that as it may, opportune is a pure adjective and not a participle, therefore it has no past tense. Opportune means appropriate or well-timed.

8. Alright:

“Alright” is a misspelling of the term all right. All right is used when you want to say that something is adequate, acceptable, agreeable or suitable. To hardcore English language linguists, “alright” is not a word. However, its usage is gaining traction and it’s increasingly becoming acceptable. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary – which is considered the gold standard among American English speakers – has recently drawn a lot of criticisms for its permissiveness when it began indexing some otherwise colloquial and street language terms, including “alright.” Most linguists disagree with the gradual acceptance of “alright” as a word by the public and even the media, while those in the minority are “alright” with it.

9. Wake-Keeping:

“Wake-keeping” exists only in the imagination of a few English speakers. As a matter of fact, there is no such thing as “wake-keeping.” The correct word is wake and not even “wake-keep.” Both “wake-keeping” and “wake-keep” are ungrammatical.

10. Screentouch:

This bad grammatical expression gained currency in Nigeria and neighbouring West African countries with the influx of made-in-China stylus pen touchscreen not-so-smart phones in the mid 2000s. It was a novelty then; many in Nigeria had not seen it – or even thought such advanced technology was possible – before. So, they looked for a name to call it and “screentouch” came to mind, after all you just touch the screen and it starts working. In case you’ve still not figured it out yet, the correct thing to say is touchscreen and not “screentouch.”
