For a healthier brain and body – How to change your lifestyle habits for a healthier, happier you. When we think of staying healthy, things like maintaining an ideal weight and strong muscles, a strong immune system and a healthy heart come to mind.
It wasn’t until fairly recently, however, that widespread attention had been given to the connection between physical and mental health. Today, the number of people suffering from mood disorders and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is on the rise.
In fact, according to the National Institutes of Mental Health, 28.8% of the population will suffer from an anxiety-related disorder and 16.5% of the population is likely to experience some form of depressive disorder in their lifetime. Moreover, according to The Alzheimer’s Association, one in eight people aged sixty-five and over has AD. AD has been termed as Type 3 Diabetes because the brains of individuals with this disease are deficient in and exhibit resistance to insulin. Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes are also at an increased risk of developing AD.
Despite the fact that some people may be at an increased risk for developing diseases of the brain, one of the best strategies to keep it performing at its peak is to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Here are five, simple tips for a healthier body and brain:

1. Eat a balanced, whole-foods diet. A diet high in plant foods like vegetables and fruits provides a wealth of vitamins and minerals required to manufacture neurotransmitters and phytochemicals that keep our cells strong and alert, protect our DNA and other cell structures from oxidative damage. Vegetables and fruits can also reduce or prevent inflammation, which is important for healthy brain function. To ensure you’re getting a variety of phytochemicals, eat from the colors of the rainbow on a daily basis.
Protein, especially amino acids such tryptophan and tyrosine are necessary for building brain chemicals. These can be found in animal products such as meats, eggs and dairy products as well as nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains. Lastly, include the right kinds of fats in your diet such as saturated fats found in behinder and coconut oil and monounsaturated fats in fatty fish, olive oil, avocados, walnuts and hempseeds. They are essential for maintaining healthy cell membranes which are vital to brain cell signaling.
2. Keep your gut healthy. Not only is it important to keep our intestinal tracts healthy to encourage proper digestion, a healthy immune system, and strong metabolism, but the bidirectional communication between our guts and our brains influences our moods and ensures a healthy stress response. People with irritable bowel syndrome(IBS), for example, often suffer from anxiety and poor mood swings. Healing their guts helps to alleviate these conditions.
To keep your gut healthy and running smoothly, eat a balanced, whole foods diet with plenty of fiber and water. Replenish your bacterial flora regularly by eating cultured foods like yogurt, kefir, cultured vegetables, raw sauerkraut or kimchi. A probiotic supplement containing bifidobacterium and acidophilus will help to maintain or repopulate bacteria that may be lost due to a poor diet, stress, toxins or antibiotic use.
3. Cut out the sugar. In addition to acting as a source of empty calories, most sugars cause spikes in insulin that promote fat storage and can eventually lead to Type 2 Diabetes. Sugars also make the body work harder to maintain an alkaline pH, which can contribute to osteoporosis and disrupt the balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut.
Sugar also promotes inflammation and cardiovascular disease, accelerates the aging process, causes swings in energy and mood, as well as irritability and depression. To replace refined sugars, stick with naturally sweetened fruits that provide fiber and nutrients. Naturally sweet root vegetables like sweet potatoes, onions and beets also serve as an effective replacement for sugar. Use spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger which help to regulate blood sugar.
4. Reduce your exposure to toxins. On any given day, we can be exposed to hundreds of toxins including car exhaust, BPA from canned foods, bottled water or cash register receipts. Unfortunately, pesticides and added chemicals in foods, as well as cleaning and personal care products also add toxins to our lives. Over time, they can accumulate in our fat cells, promote inflammation and may play a role in obesity and metabolic syndrome.
To minimize your exposure to toxins, avoid canned or processed foods and bottled water. Purchase organic produce, meats, and dairy products whenever possible and move towards using more natural or organically made soaps, shampoos, moisturizers and makeup. Also, consider periodically carrying out a metabolic detox to remove toxins at the cellular level.
5. Exercise. The same benefits that exercise provides to our bodies are experienced in our brains. Increased insulin sensitivity, decreased inflammation and an increase in oxygen sharpen our thinking, relieve stress and improve our moods. In fact, according to Dr. John Ratey in his book Spark, unlike anti-anxiety or anti-depressant medications, exercise naturally balances all of our brain chemicals, strengthens connections between brain cells.
This encourages the hippocampus, a brain region involved in learning and memory, to produce new brain cells. Include at least thirty minutes of exercise daily with a combination of cardio work, resistance training and stretching. Try yoga, pilates, recreational sports or take a walk. Even house or yard work will produce the benefits.
When combined with an active social life and additional stress reducing techniques, these lifestyle habits will keep our brains healthy and functioning well into old age

The question of how much sex is too much sex is really a burning question in the hearts of many young people. It may be wrong to attach a figure to how much sex is too much sex, but the moment you start losing your strength & vitality, you may have to watch it.

People have different body systems, some stronger and some weaker. For some, having sex daily may be okay and for others it may be killing. I will personally advise you to watch it when the following starts happening:

- You feel so weak after sex. I agree that this is a normal feeling, but if you feel so so wasted, not out of physical exertion but internal emptiness, and this feeling lasts for a long while, then you may need to watch it.

- If your ejaculate feels so watery. This may not be an issue but don't you think your system needs some rest?

- You are begining to lose interest in the activity and you try to avoid it. Maybe avoiding it is the wisest thing thing to do.

If you feel you fall under this category, you may need to discuss with your spouse on this matter. Sex is meant to be savoured and if it starts affecting your activities adversely then it is too much for you.

To further buttress your points while discussing with your spouse, kindly read the following excerpt on the effects of excess sex from a website below:

Effects of Excessive Sex

It taxes the body

Excessive and constant sexual activities; which often culminates in over-ejaculation leads to over-production of androgen hormones. These excesses could lead to adrenal and sex organ fatigue. It strains and taxes the body; making the person to look worn out and haggard. It is true that much pleasure is inherent in sex but over-indulgence does have its effects on the person involved.

It is also a known medical fact that Epinephrine, norepinephrine and cortisol are all released during sexual intercourse and they increase the fight-or-flight response, directly increasing heart rate, triggering the release of glucose and increasing blood flow to the skeletal muscle. All these activities have an immense taxing effect on the body.

Weakens immunity

Excessive sexual activities weaken the body’s natural immunity. The hormone prostaglandin E-2, which serves an important function in sexual arousal, is overproduced when one engages in marathon or excessive sexual activities and has an inflammatory effect on the body by;

damaging tissues, nerves and joints,
weakening immunity,
causing muscular and nervous pain, and
promoting infection, inflammation, and even cancer.
Lack of sexual stimulation/impotence

It has been researched and discovered that excessive sex does lead to chronic elevation of epinephrine and prostaglandin E2 which results in severe damage to brain cells and parasympathetic nerves in the liver, lungs, adrenal glands, heart, blood vessels and some other vital body systems.

Consequentially, you might experience a number of symptoms, including depression, anxiety, persistent sexual arousal and sexual dysfunction such as impotence and premature ejaculation in men and a lack of sexual stimulation in women.

Long term sexual inflammation

All of the afore-mentioned effects of excessive sexual activities causes the pituitary gland and testicles (ovaries in women) to become disabled for some days or even months, leading to a long-term sexual exhaustion and inflammation.

The first thing you might notice is a tightening or rigid feeling in your muscles and joints anytime you ejaculation. It could be really painful. The pain becomes even more severe at about 2-4 hours after ejaculating due to the sudden drop of DHEA, testosterone and DHT. You may experience some real pains for a couple of days until your prolactin and cortisol levels are returned to their normal ranges.

Could lead to hair loss / baldness

Hair loss is a major concern especially among the middle aged and there are many alleged causes treatments for it. However, a lot of people also fail to address a major underlying cause: a high stress physical response sometimes triggered by over-ejaculation.

At puberty, boys maintain an extremely high level of testosterone and DHT without stress and are therefore able to achieve a full head of hair. As they grow older, men with a high level of DHT and stress lose their hairs. Stress and its induced inflammatory factors in the bloodstream are known to deplete melatonin production during the night and heat up the blood, causing hair loss.

-----

Ladies, do not overwork your husbands. I understand you may want is two times daily but ensure it is not detrimental to your husband's health.

From your perspective, how much sex do you think is excess sex? Are there other points to make this clearer or corrections to this article?

No matter the church,if you were born into a christian home, whether you are a Catholic or Protestantor aladurah or whatever, Christ don't care.so long you believe in him whom God has sent, which is Jesus Jesus Christ.you are automatically saved.so, all these your religious activities in church is just vanity.just live your life, love everybody (non christians alike ) and enjoy yourself.this is your greatest calling

1. In Christ times, he had problems with the way the synagogue was been runed by the Pharisees and the Sadducees
And tried to kill him any every chance they could get.
2. The warned that we should ask for the holy spirit to help us discern the truth from the doctrines been preached for many shall come in my name performing signs and wonders and aslo we were charged to test the sprits. By this fruits we shall know them.
3. Many wia called but few wia chosen not all who call his name or is a church goer shall be saved
4. What u are trying to pass tru might lead unstable souls to stumble. Been saved is not only believing but working hard to stay saved
Cos in the cause of living life to the fullest one might hv sinned unknowingly or purposely and wont repent of it. Remember he wants us to be 100%pure. Least wont make it

Am not surprised at this. All i know is dat flavour is practicing what he preaches

Here are The Top 10 Gems Count down in the computer hacking History :-

#10.Gary McKinnon(Scottish Born-February 10,1966)
-Biggest Computer Military Hack of All Time.

In 2002, a decidedly odd message appeared on a US Army computer: "Your security system is crap," it read. "I am Solo. I will continue to disrupt at the highest levels." It was later found to be the work of Gary McKinnon, a Scottish systems administrator. McKinnon suffers from Asperger's syndrome, a condition with symptoms that certainly fit Gary’s actions: highly intelligent with an accomplished understanding of complex systems. Sufferers often have severe difficulty reading social cues and grasping the impact of their often-obsessive behavior. Gary has been accused of mounting the largest ever hack of United States government computer networks — including Army, Air Force, Navy and NASA systems The court has recommended that McKinnon be extradited to the United States to face charges of illegally accessing 97 computers, causing $700,000 in damage. To add even more interest to McKinnon’s actions is his insistence that much of his hacking was in search of information on UFO’s, information he believed the US government was hiding in its military computers.

#9. Francis Hots (American Born October2,1989)

-Juvenile Jailbreak Artist, Jailbreaked the first Iphone and Sony Playstation Console

A renowned jailbreak artist, his name will be forever linked to the to the April 2011 PlayStation breach. As one of the first hackers to jailbreak the Sony PlayStation 3 Hotz found himself in the middle of a very mean, public and messy court battle with Sony – perhaps because of Hotz’s public release of his jailbreaking methods. In a stated retaliation to Sony’s breach of the unstated rules of jailbreaking (never prosecute), the hacker group Anonymous attacked Sony in what would be the most costly security break of all time to date. Hackers broke into the PlayStation Network and stole personal information of some 77 million users. Hotz denied any responsibility for the attack, and said "Running homebrew and exploring security on your devices is cool; hacking into someone else's server and stealing databases of user info is not cool".

#8.Robert Tappan Morris (American Born- November 8,1965)

-Founder of the Computer Worm

On November 2, 1988, Robert Morris released a worm that brought down one-tenth of the Internet - crippling more than 6,000 computer systems. With the need for social acceptance that seems to infect many young hackers, Morris made the mistake of chatting about his worm for months before he actually released it on the Internet. Therefore, it didn't take long for the police to track him down. Morris said it was just a stunt, and added that he truly regretted wreaking $15 million worth of damage: the estimated amount of carnage caused by his worm. Morris was one of the first to be tried and convicted under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act but with community service and a fine as his penalty. The argument for such a light sentence was that the worm didn't destroy the contents of affected computers

#7.Vladimir Levin (Russian)

-Orchestrated the First Ever International Bank Raid with a whooping 10 million$ in 1994

Working on his laptop in 1994 from his St. Petersburg, Russia apartment, Vladimir Levin transferred $10 million from Citibank clients to his own accounts around the world - seeming like the opening of a James Bond movie. Levin’s career as a hacker was short lived – with a capture, imprisonment and recovery of all but $400,000 of the original $10 million. During Levin’s 1997 trial in the United States, he was reported to have orchestrated the first ever internet bank raid. The truth is Levin’s ability to transfer Citibank client funds to his own accounts was enabled through stolen account numbers and PINs. Much of remote banking in 1994 relied on client access to banking systems through dial-up connections, with account information being coded through the phone’s number keypad. Levin’s scam was a simple interception of a client’s call while recording the punched in account numbers


#6.Kevin Poulsen (American Born-November 30,1965)

-Specialist in Hacking Phone Systems particularly Radio Stations

Known as Dark Dante in the hacker community,
specialized in hacking phone systems, particularly radio stations. This talent allowed only calls originating from his house to make it through to the station, assuring him of wins in listener radio contests. His iconic 1991 hack was a takeover of all of the telephone lines for the Los Angeles KIIS-FM radio station, guaranteeing that he would be the 102nd caller and win the prize of a Porsche 944 S2. The bold Poulsen was wanted by the FBI for federal computer hacking at the same time he was winning the Porsche and $20,000 in prize money at a separate station. Poulsen spent 51 months in a federal prison, the longest sentence of a cyber criminal at that time.

#5. Smith David L. Smith (a.k.a Kwyjibo)

-Author of the infamous Melissa MacroVirus


Smith’s fame comes as being the author of the infamous e-mail virus known as Melissa. According to Smith, the Melissa virus was never meant to cause harm, but its simple means of propagation (each infected computer in turn sent out multiple infected emails) overloaded computer systems and servers around the world. Smith’s virus takes on an unusual turn in that it was originally hidden in a file containing passwords to 80 well-known pornography websites. The name Melissa was taken from a lap dancer Smith met while on a trip in Florida. As far as obsessions go, Smith appeared to be a typical teenage boy. Even though over 60,000 email viruses have been discovered, Smith is the only person to go to federal prison in the United States for sending one.

#4.James Jonathon (American Born-December 12,1983)

-First Juvenile Hacker to Hack NASA and the American Defence System At the age of 15

James gained notoriety when he became the first juvenile, at age 16, to be sent to prison for hacking. James was 15 years old at the time of his first offense and 16 years old on the date of his sentencing. At an amazingly young age of 15, James specialized in hacking high-profile government system such as NASA and the Department of Defense. He was reported to have stolen software worth over $1.7 million. He died on May 18, 2008, at the age of 25, of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The words in his suicide note provide some insight into this obviously brilliant but troubled youth who thought he would be arrested for cyber crimes he did not commit: "I have no faith in the 'justice' system. Perhaps my actions today, and this letter, will send a stronger message to the public. Either way, I have lost control over this situation, and this is my only way to regain control.”

#3. Michael Demon (a.k.a MafiaBoy Born West Island,Quebec )

-Launched series of denial service attacks against Yahoo,Amazon,etc

MafiaBoy,
was arrested in February 2000 for launching denial-of-service attack that brought down many of the Internet’s largest sites, including Amazon, eBay and Yahoo. Michael’s lawyer claimed, “If (MafiaBoy) had used all his powers, he could have done unimaginable damage,” it is widely believed that Calce is no more than a script kiddie (amateur using tools and techniques supplied by others). His attacks, however successful, were implemented computer scripts that clogged networks full of garbage data.


#2.Kevin David Mitnick ( American Born August6,1963 )

-Used to Be Most Wanted Computer Criminal in United States

Once considered the most-wanted cyber criminal in the United States, Mitnick is the poster child of computer hacking. Kevin’s high-school years were spent in a state of fascination with the country’s phone systems, using that time to practice his form of phone phreaking -- a type of hacking that included an early form of social engineering (scamming operators) and computer hacking to gain access to and modify telephony switching systems. His quick rise to criminal cyber fame is said to be primarily due a 1994 front page article in the New York Times, by John Markoff that prompted senate investigations. Markoff described Mitnick as "Combining technical wizardry with the ages-old guile of a grifter, Kevin Mitnick is a computer programmer run amok." After a very public 2-year chase, arrest and incarceration the hacker community collectively rose in protest to what they viewed as an unjust witch hunt.


#1. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak ( American Born February 4,1965,American Born August 11,1950 )

- Made Blue Box Devices in 1971

The now famous founders of Apple Computers, spent part of their youth as hackers. Circa 1971 the pair began building Blue Box devices. Per Wikipedia: An early freaking tool, the blue box is an electronic device that simulates a telephone operator’s dialing console. It functions by replicating the tones used to switch long-distance calls and using them to route the user’s own call, bypassing the normal switching mechanism. The most typical use of a blue box was to place free telephone calls) and selling them to fellow students at the University of California, Berkeley. Jobs and Wozniak started their Blue Box sales career after reading a 1971 Esquire article on John T. Draper and his phone phreaking blue box. After founding Apple, Jobs and Wozniak went on to hire Draper, who proved to be a valued but difficult employee.

According to Kemi Olunloyo the speech made by the First Lady of Nigeria at a PDP rally where she said Gen. Muhammadu Buhari’s brain is dead, and shouldn’t be voted for, is ‘insensitive’ and could spark outrage from families whose relations suffer from such.

Below is how PRLOG reports Kemi’s displeasure..........

On LIVE television Tuesday March 3rd 2015, the Nigerian First Lady told Nigerians to vote massively for her husband because Gen Buhari the opposition candidate was brain dead. Mudslinging can go a long way and can do major damage to political races. There is a children's saying "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." But the truth is that WORDS DO HURT!

Social Activist, Journalist, Pharmacist and PR specialist Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo's youngest brother Oyeleke Akinyele Olunloyo became brain dead on Dec 21st 1999 after being struck by a speeding drunk driver in Birmingham, UK. Kemi stated "Being brain dead is not something meant to be a joke. To my knowledge Mrs Jonathan does not have children of her own but adopted ones, but to my mother who is also a former first lady in Oyo state, First Ladies are supposed to be the mothers of the people. In my mother's case the state and Patience Jonathan the NATION."

Speaking yesterday during the PDP women presidential campaign rally in Kogi State, she described Buhari as unfit to be the country’s president.

“Wetin him dey find again? Him dey drag with him pikin mate.”

“Old man wey no get brain, him brain don die pata pata,” she said in Pidgin English.

Brain death is the complete and irreversible loss of brain function. Various parts of the brain may keep living when others die. "My brother's brain stem was damaged like an egg which rolled off a table. As a US trained Pharmacist and Health and wellness professional, I encourage Nigerians to cease and desist from medical jokes and abuses calling people drug addicts, retarded, brain dead and more. There are people who actually suffer these conditions." she said

Kemi continued "I am asking that Mrs Jonathan should go on the same NTA news network and apologize to the nation, most especially we the families of people that have suffered irreversible brain damage."

Oyeleke Akinyele Olunloyo who died of brain damage was removed from life support on December 23rd 1999. He was 17. Tomorrow March 5th 2015, he would have been 33-years-old
