Nairaland / General / 7 Foods That Can Increase Libido Naturally by Leadn(m): 4:08pm On Feb 04, 2019 |
Humans are sexual beings and whatever have to do with our sexuality is a matter of importance. There are several issues that can affect libido negatively. Age, stress, low testosterone and an unhealthy lifestyle can inhibit sexual drive a great deal. However, taking of drugs like Viagra may have not-so-good effects on the human body despite being useful in combating erectile dysfunction and low sex drive. There are even testosterone boosters for men whose low sex drive is being caused by age or their rigorous jobs. However, there are natural foods that you can consume to boost your libido (increase libido). According to Indian sexologist, Dr. V Sanghal, “Any good and healthy food is effective in boosting sex drive. However, some foods are especially effective for a healthy sexual life.” So the next time you purchase food items, you should stock your house with these 7 foods for your sexual wellness. 7 Foods to Increase Libido Naturally 1. Walnuts Walnuts are mainly to improve a man’s sperm hence fertility. Regular walnut consumption can improve the shape and movement of the sperm. 2. Strawberries and Raspberries Zinc is essential for increasing testosterone in both men and women. Testosterone is known to be the main determinant of sex drive. Strawberries and raspberries are loaded with a considerable amount of zinc. Regular consumption of these berries is bound to push your sex drive and performance to the peak as you increase your zinc and testosterone levels. 3. Watermelon Watermelon is packed with Citrulline which is responsible for the release of arginine (which is important for vascular health) and amino acids. Watermelon improves sexual performance as well as libido. 4. Almonds Almonds contain as much arginine and amino acids as watermelons. It helps your blood vessels relax while improving your erection. 5. Avocados Avocados are rich in folic acid and vitamin B6. These are important for regulating blood and stabilizing hormones, leading to a healthy sexual drive and better sexual performance. 6. Eggs Eggs improve erection and sexual performance. Amino acid and L-arginine found in eggs are useful for strong and prolonged erection. 7. Steak It is recommendable that you consume more steak to boost your testosterone levels and sex drive. Steak provides zinc, protein, iron and vitamin B for improving libido both in men and women. PS: It is worthy to note that alcohol is dangerous to sexual health. With alcohol, you might only have a heightened desire for sex, but your performance might just come out shambolic. If you try boosting your libido using natural foods but still want to rev it up, you should consider going for counselling first. https://www.mybeautlife.com/7-foods-increase-libido-naturally/

Health / 5 Disturbing Alcohol Effects On The Human Body by Leadn(m): 12:38pm On Feb 04, 2019 |
From whatever angle it is viewed, alcohol is always dreadful. You risk being addicted, damaging body organs like liver and also losing control of your mind, which may be a huge risk to your safety. Alcohol should, therefore, be consumed responsibly. The downsides of indiscriminate alcohol consumption are numerous and terrible. Alcohol targets organs such as the liver and may have short term consequences too. Alcohol contains congeners, which have effects on the human brain and body generally. Alcohol Effects: Long Term Effects of Alcohol Consumption Alcohol and Your Sperm Alcohol inhibits the mass production of sperm cells in the semen. Alcohol can affect the shape and reduce the mobility of the male sperm too. Alcohol versus Expectant Mothers If you are pregnant, it is not advisable to drink too much alcohol. You should be aware that the more alcohol in your blood that gets to your fetus, the more exposure to the risks of complications before and during childbirth. Alcohol and cancer All over the world, it is believed that consumption of alcohol plays a huge role in the causes of cancer. Research says even if you are a moderate alcohol drinker, your chances of developing cancer still increase because of the presence of ethanol that triggers the cancer-causing processes. Alcohol and pain Alcohol has been found to be an effective pain reliever. This makes it easy to become abused and once that happens, you are heading the path of a health disaster. Short term effects A high blood alcohol content (BAC) is dangerous to human health and can even lead to death. Research asserts that at a BAC of 0.4% and above, one can likely die. However, once you have a BAC of 0.05% in one sitting, your mind and judgment as well as inhibitions become drastically impaired and reduced respectively. DRINK RESPONSIBLY A great number don’t know what amount of alcohol becomes problematic to their well being. That is why it is recommendable that you consume alcohol moderately and responsibly to keep these side effects at bay. You can view this slideshow of how alcohol affects the human body.

Nairaland / General / Passenger Is Sucked From A Plane At 14,000 Feet After Catching Fire by Leadn(m): 7:34am On Feb 04, 2016 |
That scary moment when you are in a plane, and a portion near the windows explodes and 'sucks' someone out of the plane, that is right after he has caught fire. Such is the case of passengers aboard the Daallo Airlines D3159 flight. It’s like something out of a horror movie: A passenger caught fire and was sucked out of a hole in the side of an airplane at 14,000 feet. Hassan Mohamed Nur, a survivor on that Daallo Airlines Flight D3159 from Mogadishu to Djibouti, told the Daily Mail: “I saw the passenger, a man in his early 60s, get sucked out of the plane. There was a huge bang. A big hole appeared in the side of the jet and the elderly passenger disappeared through it. One minute he was sat in his seat; the next he was gone. He’d been sucked out of the plane. People were screaming. We all thought we were going to die.” Nur also reported that the man caught fire before he was sucked from his seat, and eerily, the burned body of an elderly man was found in Balad, 18 miles from Mogadishu. It’s uncertain whether this was the same man. The Airbus 321 took off from Mogadishu airport on its way to Djibouti, and within five minutes, a blast ripped a hole in the fuselage measuring 6 feet by 3 feet. Officials do not yet know the cause of the explosion, though the aircraft’s pilot was quoted as saying, “I think it was a bomb. Luckily, the flight controls were not damaged so I could return and land at the airport.” Passenger Is Sucked From A Plane At 14,000 Feet After Catching Fire Apart from the elderly man who fell from the plane, only one other passenger was injured — a Finnish man who is reported to be in stable condition. Seventy-four passengers we on board, including Awale Kullane, Somalia’s deputy ambassador to the U.N. He said on Facebook that he “heard a loud noise and couldn’t see anything but smoke for a few seconds.” He also posted a video — taken minutes after the explosion, as passengers sat terrified, some with oxygen masks on — but it has since been removed from his page. Somalia is dealing with an insurgency by the Somali Islamic extremist group al-Shabaab, which has been responsible for many deadly attacks over the years. http://xtremegists.com/passenger-sucked-from-plane-at-14000-feet-after-catching-fire/#

Science/Technology / Pepsi Phone P1 Debuts As An Affordable Fingerprint, LTE Device by Leadn(m): 3:34pm On Nov 19, 2015 |
Finally, the never-ending rumors to a coming ‘Pepsi made’ smartphone seem to be true after all, as the popular Soda maker has so far deviated from the business of bottle sodas, and has released a smartphone dubbed Pepsi Phone P1. The new comer doesn’t just come empty handed as it’s currently one of the cheapest devices with the kind of specs slammed into it. Made by Shenzhen Scooby Communication Equipment company based in China, the device features a pretty aluminum unibody, which houses the now famous 5.5″ 1080p screen. Worthy of note is the device’s 5.5″ screen has a 2.5D glass. Asides that, the P1 device houses an octa-core MediaTek MT6592 chipset. The device runs on a dido OS, which is based on modified Google Android 5.1 Lollipop. The phone has a 13MP main camera (f/2.0, 1/3.06″) and a 5MP selfie camera, also as is popular these days there’s a fingerprint reader on the back. A 3,000mAh battery powers the handset. The Pepsi Phone P1 is a dual-SIM phone with LTE-connectivity. There’s a version for China Unicom (with FDD-LTE) dubbed the P1s. Either way you can replace the second SIM card with a microSD. Itching to get yourself a piece of the Pepsi P1 phone? Well, the device is available on Chinese e-commerce site JD.com for CNY 699 ($110/€100), although that pricing limited to the first 1,000 users, (earlier, an early bird offer for CNY 499 was issued, but as expected, already ran out). The P1 will come with a charger, cable, earphone and a protective case. http://www.flingsmobile.com/pepsi-phone-p1-debuts-fingerprint-lte-device/ |

Nairaland / General / Russia Can Destroy U.S - Top U.S General Milley by Leadn(m): 7:37am On Nov 04, 2015 |
Russia is the only country in the world with the nuclear capability to destroy the U.S., according to Army Chief of Staff General Mark Milley. The General called Russia an existential threat to the U.S., speaking in front of the audience at the Defense One summit in Washington, DC on Monday. Milley also considers Russia “aggressive” and “adversarial to the interests of the United States,” which is why Moscow’s nuclear weapons are capable of destroying the U.S. The General warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s recent behavior suggest the country would be willing to use nuclear weapons. Milley also noted that Russia has been violating “the Westphalian order” ever since it started invading “sovereign nations” in 2008. Milley has already called Russia an existential threat during his confirmation hearing before the U.S. Senate back in July. Two weeks prior to his confirmation hearing, U.S. General James Dunford used the same phrasing during his own Senate confirmation hearing to become the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. “I would say that Russia’s recent behavior is adversarial to the interests of the United States,” Milley said, referring to Russia’s aggressive drills and patrols with its troops, aircraft and submarines for the past “four-five-six-seven” years. “Russia bears close watching,” he added. The audience then asked whether Russia should be considered an enemy rather than a partner, but Milley responded with an urge to a “strength and balance sort of approach, which is our current policy.” While diplomacy is very “nuanced,” Russia must be fought with sanctions and NATO’s confident stance, he noted. However, the General added that the U.S. must cooperate with Russia on matters that require involvement of both Washington and Moscow. Russia’s military far more advanced than that of U.S. – American analyst Russia is far more advanced and superior in terms of military technologies than the U.S., while the recent American missile tests were nothing but a “bluff” to trick people into thinking the U.S. military could easily counter even such a nuclear-powerful adversary as Russia, according to an American counter-terrorism analyst. Scott Bennett, a former U.S. Army psychological warfare officer, said in an interview with Press TV on Monday that this is something Washington typically does: it tells its military brass to show off in front of its Russian counterparts, claiming that American missile technology is “the absolute end-all technology that can determine any war.” The analyst’s comments come just a day after the U.S. military carried out a $230 million test involving Lockheed Martin’s Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) systems and the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) equipped onto the USS John Paul Jones destroyer. The results of the test showed that the missile systems were capable of successfully hitting their targets in all but one of the tests. The tests with the missile systems involved a medium-range ballistic missile fired from C-17 aircraft. During one of the tests, a SM-3 missile fired from the warship failed mid-air in its flight and missed the target. But the THAAD system was capable of taking the failed shot out. “From a psychological warfare perspective, I see this as a massive bluff, as just a lot of feather puffing, and [it] really doesn’t have a lot of substance because the technology is not there and the Russian technology as we know is far superior,” Bennett said. Bennett sees this elaborate $230 million missile test as a standard military test, while Washington wants to make it look as if it is more lethal than it really is. U.S. will be responsible for deaths in Syria, not Russia – Analyst The analyst also believes that the test is an attempt of the U.S. to assure its allies in the Middle East, who turn away from Washington one by one because of its incompetence in Syria, that the U.S. still has what it takes to maintain influence in the region. The tests seem to fall in line with U.S. President Barack Obama’s decision to send Special Operation forces to Syria. Bennett expects Russia to call the bluff and warn the U.S. that if it sends American troops to Syria, “the Russian coalition will not be held responsible for any deaths that may result.” Bennett also called Obama’s decision “a potential trap.” “It is an attempt to try and goad Russia, I think, into maneuvers and bombings that can kill a lot of American troops for the purposes of triggering a larger US action.” The analyst also suspects that there might be a connection between the U.S. missile tests and the recent Russian plane crash over Egypt’s Sinai desert which killed 224 passengers on board, including 25 children and 7 crew members. Russian navy presents threat to U.S. Meanwhile, the U.S. is discussing the possibility to station more of its ships and naval objects in Europe as a response to Russia’s most threatening naval operations in two decades, according to the new U.S. Navy chief of naval operations. The U.S. Navy is now reassessing its global stance to counter the aggressive activity of Russian warships and submarines, Admiral John Richardson, chief of naval operations said in an interview with the Financial Times. “Their submarine force and their navy are as active as they have been in a long time, 20 years or so,” Admiral Richardson noted. “How are we going to posture our forces to make sure that we maintain the appropriate balance and are suitably engaged?” The Admiral also said that the U.S. Navy is considering to step up its presence in Europe and the Pacific. “That’s the conversation we’re having right now.” Russian Admiral Viktor Chirkov, the chief of the Russian navy, recently said that Russian submarine patrols have increased by 50 percent from 2013 cc: lalasticlala http://xtremegists.com/russia-can-destroy-us/

Nairaland / General / “nigeria Cannot Survive Without The Igbos” – Femi Aribisala by Leadn(m): 9:05am On Aug 31, 2015 |
I just found this piece. Don't know if it has been here before, but I consider it worth sharing... AMONG the different ethnic groups in Nigeria, the Igbo are without a doubt, one of the most remarkable. So remarkable, indeed, that some have even traced their ancestry to biblical Israel, as the far-flung descendants of Jacob, the Jewish patriarch. Gad, Jacob’s seventh son, is said to have had three sons who settled in South-eastern Nigeria. |
