Health / Seven Things That Can Damage Your Liver by kyrianpaul(m): 2:24pm On Jan 03, 2016
If you are a healthy person, you might not think twice about your liver and for good reason. This is because if you are healthy, you are probably not even aware of what your liver’s doing. Yet because the liver is such an important organ, it makes sense to educate yourself about it.

sugar
too much sugar isn’t just bad for your teeth. It can harm your liver, too. The organ uses one type of sugar, called fructose, to create fat. Too much refined sugar and high-fructose corn syrup cause a fatty build-up that can lead to liver disease. Some studies show that sugar can be as damaging to the liver as alcohol, even if you are not overweight. This is one more reason to limit foods with added sugars, like soda, pastries, and candy.
Too much vitamin A
You can find vitamin A in eggs and milk as well as fresh fruits and vegetables, especially those that are red, orange, and yellow. Many supplements also include it since it helps improve vision, strengthen bones, and give a boost to your immune system. But in very high doses, vitamin A is toxic to the liver. To stay safe, never take more than 10,000 IU a day.

MSG (Monosodium Glutamate)MSG enhances the flavour of many packaged and prepared foods, from chips to diet drinks. You might see it on a food label as ‘hydrolyzed vegetable protein,’ ‘yeast extract,’ or ‘soy extract.’ Still, some studies suggest that the chemical may make the liver fatty and inflamed, which can lead to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and liver cancer.


Herbal supplements
Just because the label says natural doesn’t mean it’s safe. Studies show some of these supplements can keep the liver from working, causing hepatitis and liver failure. You should always talk to your doctor before you take any herbs to make sure they are safe.

Health / Do You Want To Quit Smoking? This Tips Will Show You How by kyrianpaul(m): 11:00pm On Dec 21, 2015
Truth being said, it’s not easy to quit smoking habit even after realizing how harmful smoking is to health. You will also agree with me that many smokers have attempted to quit smoking several times but they soon relapsed.
Although, quitting smoking might be difficult, there is proof that it is possible because according to recent findings from the United States, about 1.3 million people quit smoking annually without relapsing anymore. That stats alone show how possible it is to stop smoking.
Now to the real deal. If you are have you been finding it very hard to stop smoking , Below are 10 proven tips that can help you quit smoking successfully just as many others have done without the need to relapse.
1. Have a positive mindset

You have to be optimistic if you must have a strong determination to quit smoking. You must tell yourself that it is possible because others have done it and succeeded. I strongly advice that you read other people’s testimony on how they quit smoking habit without relapsing.

Remember that you will not achieve any goal to defeat a habit if you do not determine to stop it. It might not be easy at first but developing a positive mindset will help heal such habits due to strong will.

You might want to read the following testimonies of past smokers below:



http://www.etsu.edu/tips/education/cessation/stories.aspx
http://whyquit.com/whyquit/turkeys_8.html

2. Avoiding smoking tempting factors

Do you have friends in school, colleagues at work that engage in smoking? Its high-time you start avoiding such company. Do you think you can quit smoking without doing away with its temptations? Then re-think because it is not possible. If seeing people smoke merely reawaken the urge in you, avoid such places where smokers gather most especially the bars and the clubs.

In addition to avoiding your friends that engage in smoking , get rid of all “smoking memorabilia”, such as lighters, ashtrays and cigarette packs from your house and place of work.
3. You just have to be realistic

Quite a few number of ex-smokers quit smoking successfully by decision to stop all at once. Most people have tried using this method but find themselves smoking again. While this looks like the best option, it is extremely very, very difficult.

To make things a lot easier, always be realistic. Remember, smoking as an addiction has your brain wired to daily doses of nicotine; Smoking habit is a demon that will fight back once you suddenly take a strong decision to quit it.

If it works for you, the better but If this approach doesn’t work for you, don’t force yourself in making it work. You’ll might end up depressed.
4. Don’t be an idle person

To quit smoking successfully, you would more than personal determination. And being idle and alone won’t yield the desired result if you are to quit smoking. Loneliness as a factor can trigger in you, the urge to smoke. Find a friend that you can confide in to help you achieve your objective by monitoring your progress.

I also strongly believe that telling your close friends and family members that you are trying to quit smoking will bring encouragement, needed advice and succor to you. Engage in something worth while, don’t give idleness a space in your life. With time you will forget anything called cigarette.

To sharpen you determination, read motivating stories of ex-smokers. You might opt to see a counselor for necessary advice or join an online support group for more motivation.
5. Are you on a diet, eat vegetables and fruits

Eating vegetables and fruits with low-fat diary products according to research can make cigarette taste terrible. You only have to be consistent with these practice. The advantage of eating fruits is that it helps you keep your weight in check, fights diseases and other health benefits accrued to eating fruits and vegetables.
6. Exercise matters

Sometimes, stress can trigger the urge to smoke. It is better to avoid things that would lead to stress, so that you can avoid smoking. On the long run, if you had a stressful day, you can relive such stress by engaging in mild exercises like aerobics, after which you take your shower then rest.
7. Avoid alcohol

You have to avoid taking alcohol because alcohol increases the body’s craving for nicotine. Nicotine is a substance found in caffeine, alcohol, cigarette that increases addiction. You need to avoid these thing to avoid relapsing. When you have the urge to take alcohol, find a distraction, like chewing gum, reading, e.t.c.
8. If you relapse, do not give up

Relapsing is quite normal for anyone that wants to stop addiction of any kind, and smoking is not different. You might find yourself in this category, after quitting for a while. Find out the cause of relapsing, then avoid such cause and reapply these tips.

Just don’t give up as people who had successfully quit smoking also had difficult times but never gave up. If you don’t give up, you’ll quit successfully, one day.

Health / Beer Not The Cause Of Pot Belly - Healthnfitness Guide by kyrianpaul(m): 10:31pm On Dec 21, 2015
Men with pot belly are often associated with excessive beer consumption and other unhealthy lifestyles. For real, excessive bulging stomach is dangerous for normal, overweight, and obese people. According to Wikipedia, abdominal obesity, also known as beer belly, beer gut, pot belly, front butt, spare tyre or clinically as central obesity, should be guarded against to enhance a good lifestyle.

In our society today, a lot of people cast aspersions on pot belly men as being addicted to beer. Can drinking beer alone results in potbelly? No. Many factors can cause pot belly without taking beer, says Prof Tola Atinmo, professor of Human Nutrition, University of Ibadan.

Some people may have pot bellies for different reasons such as weak abdominal musculature, digestive problems, constipation and poor posture.

Atinmo noted that beer intake isn’t bad when taken in moderation. He went extra mile on the health benefits of beer, which he says reduce the risk of developing and dying from heart disease. Also, it possibly reduces the risk of ischemic stroke (when the arteries to your brain become narrowed or blocked, causing severely reduced blood flow) and possibly reduces the risk of diabetes

All the benefits of beer mentioned above are functions of moderate consumption.

Beer, being at least 90 per cent water, may clearly be a significant contributor to water intake among beer drinkers. Aside water, beer is brewed with malted barley, hops, yeast and corn. Interestingly, Beer is essentially fat-free. Fats are highly water-insoluble molecules which, when present in foodstuffs, are either in the form of emulsions or within a solid matrix. Beer, of course, is largely water, and most beers contain very few insoluble solids.

The first thing we think of is improper diet and exercise. Diet and exercise can help to reduce stomach fat when you eat right and have a good exercise regimen that you follow each day. Healthy lifestyle is a desirable way of life, which stipulates that we focus more on preventive health rather than the curative

A healthy lifestyle is achieved through the following conditions: Healthy eating and drinking; adequate rest and stress management; bodily and spiritual exercise; no smoking and hygiene and sanitation.

Atinmo, however, informs that nutritionists recommend the consumption of at least 6- 8 glasses of water daily of which the beer drinkers can benefit from its consumption. He further explains that Beer is not a medicine to be prescribed by doctors (some doctors do it underneath to close patients/relations!) but rather a foodstuff that should be approached within social environs that are mature, considerate and reasonable.

Health / Easy Way On How To Cure Hemorrhoids (piles) Permanently by kyrianpaul(m): 10:16pm On Dec 21, 2015
What are haemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids (or piles) are swollen and inflamed veins in the anus and lower rectum that are caused by increased abdominal pressure, or to a lesser extent, other causes.

Hemorrhoids may be found inside the rectum, in which case they are called internal hemorrhoids. They may also develop under the skin around the anus, as external haemorrhoids.
What are the causes of hemorrhoids?

Though you may have inherited the tendency to develop hemorrhoids, here are more likely reasons why you’re having the problem:

You strain while passing stool.
You spend too long sitting on the toilet bowl.
You’ve had a recent or long-term battle with diarrhea or constipation.
You’re overweight or obese.
You’re pregnant.
You engage in anal sex.

Permanent cure for hemorrhoids

With proven home treatments, you can easily relieve the mild pain, swelling and inflammation of hemorrhoids. Usually, the following tips are enough to help you treat hemorrhoids, quickly and permanently:

Apply an over-the-counter hemorrhoid cream or suppository that contains hydrocortisone. You can also use pads containing numbing agents.
Using a sitz bath, place your anal area in plain warm water for 10 to 20 minutes. Repeat this twice to thrice a day. If you can’t get a sitz bath, any other suitable container would do.
Always keep your anal area clean by bathing regularly. Avoid using soap on the area, as this may aggravate the problem. After bathing, gently dry the area with a soft cloth or hair dryer.
Always use moist towels or tissue paper to clean up after bowel movement. Using dry toilet paper will worsen the problem.
To relieve swellings, apply ice packs or cold compresses on your anus.
Take oral pain relievers like acetaminophen (Paracetamol, etc.), aspirin or ibuprofen. All these will help relieve the discomfort.

With these treatments, your hemorrhoids should disappear within a few days. But if you’ve tried all these before, and you’re still battling with hemorrhoids, seek medical attention.

Health / How To Reduce Blood Pressure Naturally by kyrianpaul(m): 11:32pm On Nov 03, 2015
In Nigeria today, being hypertensive is a common factor that has led many to either having a heart attack, stroke or even death. Stress, excessive thinking, emotional trauma are just but a few that causes hypertension. While there are various ways to maintain and reduce blood pressure levels, this article would expose to you, the natural means of reducing high blood pressure levels.
Healthy Diet

In search for solutions on how to reduce blood pressure, the chief culprit is an unhealthy diet. What kind of food you take on a daily basis matters a lot. Food prepared with high amounts of salts can complicate your water retention levels, which increases blood volume that causes High BP. Reducing or eliminating salt intake is very important if you must reduce high blood pressure. Try to avoid meat and use vegetables to prepare your meals. Natural fruit intake is also important. Eat foods with low cholesterol and low saturated fat.
Use Herbs and Vitamins

While there are different medications that can help reduce high blood pressure, there are also natural means that can be of great assistance. The use of garlic seeds, ginger, cinnamon, basil extract, have shown that they can help reduce hypertension. We see most of these herbs being sold in the market on a daily basis and can even be planted in our homes. If your body lacks these vitamins- potassium, iron, magnesium, vitamin E, using the right supplements to checkmate them can come in handy.
Physical Activity

Research has shown that lack of exercise and physical activities can be a reason for increased blood pressure levels. Are you the type that prefers using the elevator rather than the stairs? It’s time to take the stairs if you want an improvement in your blood level condition. Domestic chores can be great but adding some mild physical exercise like cycling, jogging, walking and even swimming can also go a long way to reducing hypertension. Also, exercise can help reduce the possible side effects of medications of blood pressure.

Health / 8 Amazing Health Benefits Of Sleeping Naked by kyrianpaul(m): 11:23pm On Nov 03, 2015
Everyone is ashamed of being naked especially in public but after a hard and tiresome day at work, at school or even in the church, the first thing you would want to do when you get home is to strip your clothes off, get naked and head straight to the shower for a warm nice bath.

The notion of getting naked, cutting free from the world stress gives you that conscious comfort you crave. Apart from this comfort of calmness and ease of being, there are many unheard health benefits of being naked while asleep. Of course, it is a matter of choice as some don’t like sleeping without clothes or a covering. Either ways, I will be showing you that sleeping naked is healthy
8 Healthy Reasons Why You Should Sleep Naked

1. It Increases Vitamin D

The scorching rays of the sun is something no one likes and that is why the use of creams, ointments becomes necessary. Wrinkles, skinburns are some few havoc that the sun can wreck on the skin but let’s not forget that this same sun gives vitamin D most especially in the mornings. So being naked at such times and exposure to the morning sun not only improves your well being but increases vitamin D.

2. Nudity Gives Healthy Skin

We all love our clothes to be fitted and tight forgetting that our skins need air to breathe. These fitted clothes might look good but they have their adverse effects on the skin. Tight clothes suffocated the skin, makes the body hot and sweaty, thereby causing rashes, stretch marks, pimples and wrinkles. To reduce the effect of these fitted clothes, it is better to stay naked or sleep naked after wearing such clothes to allow air penetrate within every area of the body which gives smooth skin.

3.No ‘Red’ Marks

Women wearing bra and panty may get red marks on their skin, because of the tight elastic band that is attached with these clothing. Also, sleeping while wearing tight clothes slows down the blood circulation in your body. Hence, it is advised to sleep naked or in loose clothes to improve blood circulation as well as to get rid of red marks, which is great for your health and skin too.

4. It Relaxes the Mind

As funny as it sounds, nudity can treat psychological problems like trauma, low self esteem and the likes. It helps improve blood flow and balances the mind since you are free from all coverings.

Fashion / How To Keep The Skin Wrinkle Free by kyrianpaul(m): 6:53pm On Oct 29, 2015
Exposing the skin to excessive sun rays has been identified by science as the major cause of wrinkles, especially for fair-skinned people. Although genes may be another factor, other factors such as pollutants, bad water, salt, creams and smoking, may contribute to wrinkling. It has become a normal routine of people in different facets to lie about their age. Both men and women are prone to having wrinkles but it is more prevalent in women due to their beauty and fashion routine. As they get mature, the signs become noticeable.

According to Wikipedia, wrinkles can be defined as a fold, ridge or crease in the skin and is mostly noticeable especially as one age increases in life. It is also known as rhytide. If you are bothered about your wrinkles, there are ways to treat wrinkles ranging from medications, surgery, fillers, etc.

In a fast attempt to get rid of these wrinkles, people have resorted to various household remedies that produce little or no effect in clearing wrinkles even using botox injections which are effective against wrinkles, but very costly and risky. Although the dangers of such method can be hazardous to the health, people out of desperation still resort to it for quick results. This article exposes various alternative natural solutions in reducing wrinkles and can be applied on a daily basis.
EASY WAYS TO REDUCE WRINKLES

CHANGE THE WAY YOU SLEEP

To reduce wrinkles, the first thing you can do is changing the way you sleep at night. Some sleeping positions at night can cause “sleep lines” which forms on your skin and eventually, lead to wrinkles. When you sleep on your back, you reduce the risk of developing these sleep lines.

YOUR DIET MATTERS

In reducing or getting rid of wrinkles, what you eat matters and could either help make your skin healthier or even weightier. A daily intake of fruits and vegetables like cucumber, carrots, tomatoes etc, help to keep the skin smooth and can also reduce the emergence of wrinkles. Also, salmon being an excellent source of protein and fatty acids can help reduce the presence of wrinkles on your face. The fatty acids help maintain the plumpness of your skin, and that helps discourage the development of those unpleasant wrinkles. Cocoa, is another fruit that is rich in antioxidants which can protect your skin very well, keeping it nice and smooth for a longer time. A cup of cocoa tea before you sleep at night should help.

DAILY HABITS

It is not only the things you consume that would help eliminate or reduce wrinkles, daily habits also add up in protecting the skin. For example, instead of squinting and stressing the eye when you try to read something, get a pair of reading glasses. Squinting too much can cause wrinkles to build up, especially on the face. Also wear sun shades when going out under the sun.

WASH YOUR FACE WITH WATER

Washing your face when oily at regular intervals is something people take for granted. Using clean water with natural soap made from aloe vera is one that helps reduce not only wrinkles, but acne and pimples. Wash at morning and in the night before you go to bed. Also drink lots of clean water as it is a solution to most skin problems.
