HealthHow To Delay Aging by darlington15(op):
Aging is part of life’s process,everyone faces it and we all have to deal with.

If you are older than age 40,you have undoubtedly confronted some realities of aging.you have probably peeked into a mirror at a face that has developed a few more wrinkles. You may have noticed that aches and pains linger a little longer after you exercise or spend time doing house chores.until adults reach the fourth or fifth decade of life,aging rarely means much to them.

SIGNS OF AGING.

1.your maximum oxygen consumption decreases.

2.your systolic blood pressure increases as artery walls thicken and become less flexible.

3.your body redistributes fat.

4.your muscle mass and hand-grip strength decline

5.your brain sustains loss and damage of nerve cells.

6.your bladder loses capacity, leading to more frequent urination and sometimes incontinence.

7.your kidneys becomes less efficient in removing waste from your blood stream.

8.your maximum breathing capacity declines.

WAYS TO DELAY SIGNS OF AGING.

1. EXFOLIATE REGULARLY.

The skin naturally exfoliates, or sheds, but speeding up the process enhances radiance and luminosity. Most over-the-counter exfoliants, such as products containing glycolic acid, are gentle enough to be used several times a week.

Use fingertips or soft pads and rub gently—never scrub—in circular motions to avoid injuring skin and causing clogged pores. And beware of products that contain ingredients hard enough to scratch the skin.

Microdermabrasion, a more intense exfoliating procedure, should be done much less often. There are numerous at-home kits that are effective and cost less than a professional treatment, as well as simple recipes that use items found in the typical kitchen.

2. GET A FACIAL REGULARLY.

Once a month may sound extravagant, but one key to the enviable complexions of French women is that weekly facials are common. They consider facials a necessity, not a luxury, because they unclog pores, remove impurities from the skin and add nourishing ingredients that fight the effects of environmental pollutants. Like eye creams, facials are more effective as maintenance, rather than as crisis management.

3. TAKE A MULTIVITAMIN.

Medical research shows that people who take dietary supplements generally do not suffer the same fate or health problems as those who don’t. This has consequences for health in general and the skin and complexion in general. It’s impossible to get all the nutrients your body needs every day through diet alone; the most common form of dietary supplementation is a multivitamin.

Choose those with highest quality ingredients and the highest absorption rates you can find and take them daily as recommended. Many vitamins cost less than a cup of coffee a day and the antioxidant benefit they provide in terms of fighting free radicals (which contribute to visible aging) is worth it.


4. DRINK LOTS OF WATER.

Not only is plenty of fresh water necessary to aid the efficacy of vitamins and supplements, it’s essential for overall health. The body is composed primarily of water. Drinking water helps to flush out waste, allowing internal organs and the rest of the body to function better. Water contributes to skin elasticity, and dry skin tends to be more susceptible to disease.

Tap water is generally fine. If you want to improve its quality, boil or filter it. And remember that you don’t need to over-drink water.

moisturizing creams and lotions are important. They complement each other, water keeps the skin hydrated and moisturizers and lotions keep the hydration locked in.

6. GET REGULAR EXERCISE AND ADEQUATE REST.

Both aid the skin’s natural healing process, and there is no substitute for either. Regular physical activity stimulates blood circulation and oxygenation, which promote healthy skin.

Just as important is adequate rest. Experts say the average person should get at least 5½ hours of uninterrupted sleep, and a nap wouldn’t hurt.

Adequate rest and exercise help maintain circulation and cell metabolism, which keep the skin regenerating, young and harmonious.

well although you might think that good health is all about eating good foods and a healthy exercise.well,i doesn't end there,it also includes having a positive mental health,healthy self-image and a healthy lifestyle.

well,in my article here,i have just listed some few tips you can use to keep a healthy lifestyle.

1.reduce intake of processed foods:

processed foods are not good because:

a) most nutritional value is lost

b) the preservatives added are bad for our health.

many processed foods contain a high amount of salt content which leads to a higher blood pressure.processed foods are any foods that are not in their raw form

2) discard negative people from your life:

there is this adage that says "show me your friend and i will tell you whom you are". been in the company of negative friends can make you a negative minded person.my best advice for you is to avoid negative minded people and make friends with those who are positive minded.

3) purge negativity from yourself: always discard any negative thoughts that comes through your mind.always have a positive mentality at all times.

4) eat enough fruits and vegetables: always eat bright colored fruits and vegetables .you know why? because they are high in anti-oxidants and anti-oxidants helps to remove free radicals in our body that damage our cells.fruits and vegetables of different color includes:white(banana),green(guava,cucumber).

5) drink enough water: do you know that over 70% of our body is made up of water?. water performs a lot of functions in our body such as removal of waste,transport of nutrients and oxygen round our body.we also lose water everyday through urine,sweat,bowel movement.researchers believe that drinking more water helps fill your stomach,making you less hungry and less likely to overeat. drinking water alone also aids in losing weight.

6) sleep well: when you don't rest well,you compensate by eating more, usually its junk food.also,lack of sleep causes premature aging and you wouldn't want that,so get enough sleep

7)meditate: meditation helps to quieten your mind and calm your soul.so once in a while,you can always meditate,maybe during your spare time

cool exercise: movement is life.research has shown that exercising daily brings tremendous benefits to our health,including increase of life span,lowering of risk of diseases,higher bone density and weight loss.

Nairaland GeneralEducation A Leverage For Nigerian Development by darlington15(op):
The world over, certain yardsticks are used to judge the level of development in each country. These yardsticks range from infrastructure, rate of literacy,growth of gross domestic product and a host of other indices.
There is no gainsaying that some nations are more developed than others. While some governments are battling with how to bring about the much needed growth of their nations, some are thinking of how to attain greater developmental accomplishments.
This chasm of indices that exist between developed countries and developing ones has over time tied developing countries to the apron strings of developed ones. Lamentably, developing nations are purblind to the fact that they can be independent of developed ones, provided they utilize to the fullest the resources at their disposal. Citizens of developing nations out of desperation and ignorance think of developed nations as elysan territories of sorts and they do all they can to jet out of their climes in quest of greener pastures.
For example in 2013, a boat in transit capsized near the island of lampedusa. This vessel which was dispatched to Italy conveyed over 500 africans looking for greener pastures in Europe damming the consequences of the odds. This tragic event lends credence to the reality of the division of the world along developmental divides. But beyond this, developing countries should see it as a clarion call to act decisively to get a place in the committee of developed nations.
It becomes vital at this juncture to ask about the building blocks of development required for countries to attain the status reached by developed nations.education to me, is the matrix of development. From either infrastructure or agriculture, the influential factor of education cannot be controverted.
The question is: why is it that most developed of economies are the most developed in education? And why do most underdeveloped of economies have underdeveloped education?these are not conundrums, as the answers to these questions are not far-fetched.one of the answers is in fact that the place of education in the development of any economy is paramount. Any nation failing in education is on the cusp of failure. Why? It is so because nations need educated citizens to formulate government policies. Without education, how can economic problems like inflation and devaluation of currency be addressed? Or how will nations tackle unemployment?
Developing nations as we know are plagued with these problems. This emphasis the need for human development in these countries. There are countries with high rate of maternal and child mortality. HIV/AIDS and other life threatening diseases are also pandemic in these countries. Simply because they lack sufficient health workers. Citizens of ailing economies sometimes go for “medical tourism” to developed countries which offer better health care services though at pricey costs.
Needless to say, when we say a country is developing, it does not mean that it isn’t endowed with natural resources. Africa, as we know, is still in the backwaters but paradoxically, has numerous resources to boast of. The cotinent provides approximately 98 percent of diamond needs in the world.
