Romance / For Those Who Have Cheated, A Question by betsy96(f): 12:13pm On Jan 04, 2016
Was the sex "more" than what was typical with your spouse? sad

It seems imagination can be the most vicious when the betrayed spouse is left to deal with their demons. Since men typically cheat for the physical attribute, I could see them doing more wild stuff with the affair. Women typically cheat for emotional connection but since the decision was made to cross the line, I could see the "in for a penny, in for a pound" (no pun intended) take over and inhibitions be damned.
I don't ask this to be some sort of kinky reading- Gawd knows there is enough of that. even when u re given everything by your spouse u still cheat

I just think the unknowns of the encounter are what haunt people. It's natural. Hearing, in general terms (i.e."yeah, we did more stuff" or "No, it was pretty ho-hum"wink could provide valuable insight for their decision-making process post-affair.

Celebrities / Review Of The American Music Awards 2015 by betsy96(f): 11:42am On Dec 28, 2015
So I watched the AMA's yesterday which took place on Sunday night at the Microsoft theatre, Los Angeles hosted by the stunning and ageless Jennifer Lopez. She opened the ceremony with an amazing performance and wowed the audience. She changed her dress quite a number of times.
My favorite performance of the night the night, though I hate to admit...arrghhh!!! Is Justin Bieber!!!!
I used to be a huge belieber(JB fan) when I was younger. Lol, I remember seeing "baby" music video while eating indomie.....i was transfixed!!! But I grew up soon after or maybe not because I absolutely fell in love with him and his performance at the AMA's!!! And my God, his new album, purpose is amazing!!! I love all the tracks i've heard from it. Trust me, I'm a huge critic but his new album is a strong and beautiful piece!!! From "what do you mean?" to where are you, and sorry....and so much more songs from the album. He got his 8th AMA award for the track where are you featuring Diplo and skrillex, which he also performed at the end of the AMA and was the last grand performance of the night. He performed where are you, what do you mean and closed off with "sorry". He was ushered in by Ciara,and at the end of his performance which he did in rain!!! Literally!!! He was about to say something which I think was an apology to Selena Gomez who performed earlier on, and to publicly ask her back, at least so I thought in my mind. Lol. J'lo kinda cut him short and wrapped up the ceremony with gratitudes and God bless you. Pics from his performance below.
But a lot more went on that night and I enjoyed watching every performance and award ceremony. Ariana Grande put on a show stopper too with her official TV debut of her track "focus"...she also bagged an award
Demi Lovato gave a stunning and daring performance too.
Another beautiful performance was that of Carrie Underwood with the beautiful lights around her. There is something about Carrie, she seems like an angel. She also bagged an award for best Country female and gave a shout out to her husband and son, Isaiah. Pics below.
Luke Bryan's performance with Karen Fair child was also beautiful... Luke bagged am award for best country music at the AMA's... One direction's perfomance turned heads, and the other current rve of the moment, hot boy band "Walk the moon" performed "shut up and dance" and thrilled the audience, also Nick Jonas with his choir band.
Ed Sheeran bagged an award and performed also. Pics below
And finally, the performance that got a lot of people "in the mood", you know?? Is that of Charlie Puth and his girl, Meagan Trainor... there was a lot of, you know, PDA involved...ass grabbing, deep throat tongue locking kisses and sweating involved. They sha wanted to give it to each other on the stage but eventually had to go get a room.  And you know your girl now. I shall not be moved.*wink* Lol. Pics below.

Romance / Guys Stop Doing This!! by betsy96(f): 12:22am On Dec 23, 2015
When you add a girl on bbm and she asks"hi,who did you get my pin from,abeg kindly answer rightly",its really irritating to see "I got it from someone(obviously it wasn't a ghost that gave you) or don't bother I'm just a friend(who said you're an enemy before) or calm down(like seriously,I'm I high). Will it kill you to just tell who you got the pin from or how you got it. Then after she gets pissed and insults you,you call her rude(seriously check yourself).
Believe me its a huge turnoff,your first conversation with a girl tells a lot,if you keep her interested in the convo and don't be quick to talk about her boyfriend,relationship or anything(ma be in yoruba,puma in pidgin...abeg na only them two I sabi). Don't sound desperate or press like a parasite-to-be.
Above all don't ask too many questions,know when to stop and say good-nyt or good-day

Healthy Eating

Easy Tips for Planning a Healthy Diet and Sticking to it



In This ArticleHealthy eating is not about strict dietary limitations, staying unrealistically thin, or depriving yourself of the foods you love. Rather, it’s about feeling great, having more energy, improving your outlook, and stabilizing your mood. If you feel overwhelmed by all the conflicting nutrition and diet advice out there, you’re not alone. It seems that for every expert who tells you a certain food is good for you, you’ll find another saying exactly the opposite. But by using these simple tips, you can cut through the confusion and learn how to create a tasty, varied, and healthy diet that is as good for your mind as it is for your body.
“Instead of emphasizing one nutrient, we need to move to food-based recommendations. What we eat should be whole, minimally processed, nutritious food—food that is in many cases as close to its natural form as possible.”
–Dariush Mozaffarian, Dean of the Friedman School of Nutrition, Tufts University
How does healthy eating affect mental and emotional health?

We all know that eating right can help you maintain a healthy weight and avoid certain health problems, but your diet can also have a profound effect on your mood and sense of wellbeing. Studies have linked eating a typical Western diet—filled with processed meats, packaged meals, takeout food, and sugary snacks—with higher rates of depression, stress, bipolar disorder, and anxiety. Eating an unhealthy diet may even play a role in the development of mental health disorders such as ADHD, Alzheimer’s disease, and schizophrenia, or in the increased risk of suicide in young people.
Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, cooking meals at home, and reducing your intake of sugar and refined carbohydrates, on the other hand, may help to improve mood and lower your risk for mental health problems. If you have already been diagnosed with a mental health problem, eating well can even help to manage your symptoms and regain control of your life.
While some specific foods or nutrients have been shown to have a beneficial effect on mood, it’s your overall dietary pattern that is most important. That means switching to a healthy diet doesn’t have to be an all or nothing proposition. You don’t have to be perfect and you don’t have to completely eliminate foods you enjoy to have a healthy diet and make a difference to the way you think and feel.
Healthy eating tip 1: Set yourself up for success

To set yourself up for success, think about planning a healthy diet as a number of small, manageable steps—like adding a salad to your diet once a day—rather than one big drastic change. As your small changes become habit, you can continue to add more healthy choices.
Prepare more of your own meals. Cooking more meals at home can help you take charge of what you’re eating and better monitor exactly what goes into your food.
Make the right changes. When cutting back on unhealthy foods in your diet, it’s important to replace them with healthy alternatives. Replacing dangerous trans fats with healthy fats (such as switching fried chicken for grilled fish) will make a positive difference to your health. Switching animal fats for refined carbohydrates, though (such as switching your breakfast bacon for a donut), won’t lower your risk for heart disease or improve your mood.
Simplify. Instead of being overly concerned with counting calories, think of your diet in terms of color, variety, and freshness. Focus on avoiding packaged and processed foods and opting for more fresh ingredients.
Read the labels. It’s important to be aware of what’s in your food as manufacturers often hide large amounts of sugar or unhealthy fats in packaged food, even food claiming to be healthy.
Focus on how you feel after eating. This will help foster healthy new habits and tastes. The more healthy food you eat, the better you’ll feel after a meal. The more junk food you eat, the more likely you are to feel uncomfortable, nauseous, or drained of energy.
Drink plenty of water. Water helps flush our systems of waste products and toxins, yet many people go through life dehydrated—causing tiredness, low energy, and headaches. It’s common to mistake thirst for hunger, so staying well hydrated will also help you make healthier food choices.
Healthy eating tip 2: Moderation is key

Key to any healthy diet is moderation. But what is moderation? In essence, it means eating only as much food as your body needs. You should feel satisfied at the end of a meal, but not stuffed. Moderation is also about balance. Despite what fad diets would have you believe, we all need a balance of protein, fat, fiber, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals to sustain a healthy body.
For many of us, moderation also means eating less than we do now. But it doesn't mean eliminating the foods you love. Eating bacon for breakfast once a week, for example, could be considered moderation if you follow it with a healthy lunch and dinner—but not if you follow it with a box of donuts and a sausage pizza. If you eat 100 calories of chocolate one afternoon, balance it out by deducting 100 calories from your evening meal. If you're still hungry, fill up with extra vegetables.
Try not to think of certain foods as “off-limits.” When you ban certain foods or food groups, it is natural to want those foods more, and then feel like a failure if you give in to temptation. Start by reducing portion sizes of unhealthy foods and not eating them as often. As you reduce your intake of unhealthy foods, you may find yourself craving them less or thinking of them as only occasional indulgences.
Think smaller portions. Serving sizes have ballooned recently. When dining out, choose a starter instead of an entree, split a dish with a friend, and don't order supersized anything. At home, visual cues can help with portion sizes–your serving of meat, fish, or chicken should be the size of a deck of cards and half a cup of mashed potato, rice, or pasta is about the size of a traditional light bulb. If you don't feel satisfied at the end of a meal, add more leafy green vegetables or round off the meal with fruit.
Take your time. Stop eating before you feel full. It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly.
Eat with others whenever possible.As well as the emotional benefits, this allows you to model healthy eating habits for your kids. Eating in front of the TV or computer often leads to mindless overeating.
It's not just what you eat, but when you eat
Eat breakfast, and eat smaller meals throughout the day. A healthy breakfast can jumpstart your metabolism, while eating small, healthy meals (rather than the standard three large meals) keeps your energy up.
Avoid eating at night. Try to eat dinner earlier and fast for 14-16 hours until breakfast the next morning. Studies suggest that eating only when you’re most active and giving your digestive system a long break each day may help to regulate weight.
Healthy eating tip 3: Reduce sugar

Aside from portion size, perhaps the single biggest problem with the modern Western diet is the amount of added sugar in our food. As well as creating weight problems, too much sugar causes energy spikes and has been linked to diabetes, depression, and even an increase in suicidal behaviors in young people. Reducing the amount of candy and desserts you eat is only part of the solution as sugar is also hidden in foods such as bread, cereals, canned soups and vegetables, pasta sauce, margarine, instant mashed potatoes, frozen dinners, low-fat meals, fast food, and ketchup. Your body gets all it needs from sugar naturally occurring in food so all this added sugar just means a lot of empty calories.
Tips for cutting down on sugar

Slowly reduce the sugar in your diet a little at a time to give your taste buds time to adjust and wean yourself off the craving.
Avoid sugary drinks. Try drinking sparkling water with a splash of fruit juice instead.
Don’t replace saturated fat with sugar. Many of us make the mistake of replacing healthy sources of saturated fat, such as whole milk dairy, with refined carbs or sugary foods, thinking we’re making a healthier choice. Low-fat doesn’t necessarily mean healthy, especially when the fat has been replaced by added sugar to make up for loss of taste.
Avoid processed or packaged foods like canned soups, frozen dinners, or low-fat meals that often contain hidden sugar that quickly surpasses the recommended limit.
Be careful when eating out.  Most gravy, dressings and sauces are also packed with salt and sugar, so ask for it to be served on the side.
Eat healthier snacks.  Cut down on sweet snacks such as candy, chocolate, and cakes. Instead, eat naturally sweet food such as fruit, peppers, or natural peanut butter to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Check labels and choose low-sugar products.


Healthy eating tip 4: Eat plenty of colorful fruits and vegetables

Fruits and vegetables are low in calories and nutrient dense, which means they are packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. Focus on eating the recommended daily minimum of five servings of fruit and vegetables and it will naturally fill you up and help you cut back on unhealthy foods. A serving is half a cup of raw fruit or veg or a small apple or banana, for example. Most of us need to double the amount we currently eat.
Try to eat a rainbow of fruits and vegetables every day as deeply colored fruits and vegetables contain higher concentrations of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Add berries to breakfast cereals, eat fruit for dessert, and snack on vegetables such as carrots, snow peas, or cherry tomatoes instead of processed snack foods.
Greens. Branch out beyond lettuce. Kale, mustard greens, broccoli, and Chinese cabbage are all packed with calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, zinc, and vitamins A, C, E, and K.
Sweet vegetables. Naturally sweet vegetables—such as corn, carrots, beets, sweet potatoes, yams, onions, and squash—add healthy sweetness to your meals and reduce your cravings for added sugars.
Fruit. Fruit is a tasty, satisfying way to fill up on fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. Berries are cancer-fighting, apples provide fiber, oranges and mangos offer vitamin C, and so on.
Healthy eating tip 5: Bulk up on fiber

Eating foods high in dietary fiber can help you stay regular, lower your risk for heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, and help you lose weight. Depending on your age and gender, nutrition experts recommend you eat at least 21 to 38 grams of fiber per day for optimal health. Many of us aren't eating half that amount.
In general, the more natural and unprocessed the food, the higher it is in fiber.
Good sources of fiber include whole grains, wheat cereals, barley, oatmeal, beans, nuts, vegetables such as carrots, celery, and tomatoes, and fruits such as apples, berries, citrus fruits, and pears.
There is no fiber in meat, dairy, or sugar. Refined or “white” foods, such as white bread, white rice, and pastries, have had all or most of their fiber removed.
An easy way to add more fiber to your diet is to start your day with a whole grain cereal or add unprocessed wheat bran to your favorite cereal.
How fiber can help you lose weight
Since fiber stays in the stomach longer than other foods, the feeling of fullness will stay with you much longer, helping you eat less. Fiber also moves fat through your digestive system quicker so less of it is absorbed. And when you fill up on fiber, you'll also have more energy for exercising.
Healthy eating tip 6: Eat more healthy carbs and whole grains

Choose healthy carbohydrates and fiber sources, especially whole grains, for long-lasting energy. Whole grains are rich in phytochemicals and antioxidants, which help to protect against coronary heart disease, certain cancers, and diabetes.
What are healthy carbs and unhealthy carbs?

Healthy carbs (or good carbs) include whole grains, beans, fruits, and vegetables. Healthy carbs are digested slowly, helping you feel full longer and keeping blood sugar and insulin levels stable.
Unhealthy carbs (or bad carbs) are foods such as white flour, refined sugar, and white rice that have been stripped of all bran, fiber, and nutrients. They digest quickly and cause spikes in blood sugar levels and energy.
Tips for eating more healthy carbs


Include a variety of whole grains in your healthy diet, including whole wheat, brown rice, millet, quinoa, and barley.
Make sure you're really getting whole grains. Check for the Whole Grain Stamps that distinguish between partial whole grain and 100% whole grain.
Try mixing grains as a first step to switching to whole grains. If whole grains like brown rice and whole wheat pasta don’t sound good at first, start by mixing what you normally use with the whole grains. You can gradually increase the whole grain to 100%.
Avoid: Refined foods such as breads, pastas, and breakfast cereals that are not whole grain.
Healthy eating tip 7: Add calcium for bone health

Your body uses calcium to build healthy bones and teeth, keep them strong as you age, send messages through the nervous system, and regulate the heart’s rhythm. If you don’t get enough calcium in your diet, your body will take calcium from your bones to ensure normal cell function, which can lead to osteoporosis.  
Recommended calcium levels are 1000 mg per day, 1200 mg if you are over 50 years old. Try to get as much from food as possible and use only low-dose calcium supplements to make up any shortfall. Limit foods that deplete your body’s calcium stores (caffeine, alcohol, sugary drinks), do weight-bearing exercise, and get a daily dose of magnesium and vitamins D and K—nutrients that help calcium do its job.
Good sources of calcium include:

Dairy: Dairy products are rich in calcium in a form that is easily digested and absorbed by the body. Sources include milk, unsweetened yogurt, and cheese.
Vegetables and greens: Many vegetables, especially leafy green ones, are rich sources of calcium. Try collard greens, kale, romaine lettuce, celery, broccoli, fennel, cabbage, summer squash, green beans, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, and crimini mushrooms.
Beans: such as black beans, pinto beans, kidney beans, white beans, black-eyed peas, or baked beans.
Healthy eating tip 8: Put protein in perspective

Protein gives us the energy to get up and go—and keep going. While too much protein can be harmful to people with kidney disease, the latest research suggests that most of us need more high-quality protein, especially as we age.
How much protein do you need?
Protein needs are based on weight rather than calorie intake. Adults should eat at least 0.8g of high-quality protein per kilogram (2.2lb) of body weight per day.
Older adults should aim for 1 to 1.5 grams of lean protein for each kilogram of weight. This translates to 68 to 102g of protein per day for a person weighing 150 lbs.
Divide your protein intake equally among meals.
Nursing women need about 20 grams more high-quality protein a day than they did before pregnancy to support milk production.
How to add high-quality protein to your diet

Eat plenty of fish, chicken, or plant-based protein such as beans, nuts, and soy.
Replace processed carbohydrates from pastries, cakes, pizza, cookies and chips with fish, beans, nuts, seeds, peas, tofu, chicken, dairy, and soy products.
Snack on nuts and seeds instead of chips, replace baked dessert with Greek yogurt, or swap out slices of pizza for a grilled chicken breast and a side of beans.
Healthy eating tip 9: Enjoy healthy fats

Despite what you may have been told, not all fats are unhealthy. While “bad” fats can increase your risk of certain diseases, “good” fats are essential to physical and emotional health. Foods rich in certain omega-3 fats, for example, can reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease, improve your mood, and help prevent dementia.
Good fats

Monounsaturated fats from avocados, nuts (like almonds, hazelnuts, and pecans), and seeds (such as pumpkin and sesame).
Polyunsaturated fats, including Omega-3s, found in fatty fish such as salmon, herring, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, and some cold water fish oil supplements. Good vegetarian sources of polyunsaturated fats include flaxseed and walnuts.
Bad fats

Trans fats, found in processed foods, vegetable shortenings, margarines, crackers, candies, cookies, snack foods, fried foods, baked goods, or anything with “partially hydrogenated” oil in the ingredients, even if it claims to be trans-fat free.
The debate about saturated fats

Saturated fats are mainly found in tropical oils, dairy, and animal products such as red meat, while poultry and fish also contain some saturated fat. Eating saturated fats won’t lower your risk of heart disease like monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fats, but the latest studies suggest that not all saturated fat is a dietary demon, either. While many prominent health organizations maintain that eating saturated fat from any source increases the risk of heart disease and stroke, other nutrition experts take a different view. In fact, recent evidence suggests that consuming whole-fat dairy may even have beneficial effects by helping to control weight.
Of course, not all saturated fat is the same. The saturated fat in whole milk, coconut oil, or salmon is different to the unhealthy saturated fat found in pizza, French fries, and processed meat products (such as ham, sausage, hot dogs, salami, and other cold cuts) which have been linked to coronary disease and cancer.
For more, see Choosing Healthy Fats.
Healthy eating tip 10: Watch your salt intake

Sodium is another ingredient that is frequently added to food to improve taste, even though your body needs less than one gram of sodium a day (about half a teaspoon of table salt). Eating too much salt can cause high blood pressure and lead to an increased risk of stroke, heart disease, kidney disease, memory loss, and erectile dysfunction. It may also worsen symptoms of bipolar disorder. 

Use herbs and spices such as garlic, curry powder, cayenne or black pepper to improve the flavor of meals instead of salt.
Be careful when eating out. Most restaurant and fast food meals are loaded with sodium. Some offer lower-sodium choices or you can ask for your meal to be made without salt.
Buy unsalted nuts and add a little of your own salt until your taste buds are accustomed to eating them salt-free.

Education / Get In Here Undergraduates And Checkout The Scholarship Opportunities Available by betsy96(f): 11:29pm On Dec 22, 2015
Often times, freshers, undergraduates and students who are just straight out of secondary school miss out on a lot of scholarship opportunities available to them perhaps because they were never informed, or doubted the fact that they could actually be selected awardees and beneficiaries of these opportunities. Well, if you fall under any of the two categories, I'm here to enlighten you. I'm fully aware of a lot of students and awardees benefitting from these scholarships: Agbami, Chevron, Total, MTN, Local, State,Federal, Private individuals, Shell scholarship etc and although they have criterias and set rules, it does not cost you anything to apply and you can apply for multiple scholarships, you can also be selected to benefit from more than one of them. The advise I have for you is to try to stay informed, ask around your school, from friends, Google scholarship opportunities, check "www.nairaland.com" for scholarship opportunities too. Furthermore, read the criteria, some scholarships are for selected departments and faculties in school, eg. Agbami(medicine,engineering etc) , some scholarships are strictly for university students alone too, while some are for all undergraduates whether technical schools, college of education, state or federal. Also, some scholarships are awarded to students of 100l alone, while some 200l alone, while some above 200l, my point is ensure you check and read the "Who Should Apply?" icon carefully and then go ahead to fill your real details as requested if you fulfill all requirements. Furthermore,  some of these scholarships require that you attain a certain CGPA and maintain it throughout your stay in school, hence, try your possible best to achieve high scores and good grades in your choice of study, study hard, be focused, spend extra hours reading and above all pray. God's favour will locate you. Some churches like the Redeemed Christian Church of God also offers students scholarship, join the workforce, be a registered worker. Now, don't say any of this is stressful because it is not at all. You can always apply on your phone. Here are some sites where you can apply for the scholarship: www.scholastica.ng & www.scholarship-nigeria.com . Quickly go there now, please note,  scholarships don't request money or any payment from students so NEVER FALL for any scammer. Kindly share with friends and family.   I wish you all the best.
