“Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food.”Those are the famous words from the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, often called the father of Western medicine.
He prescribed garlic to treat a variety of medical conditions.
Now modern science has recently confirmed many of these beneficial health effects.
Here are 6 benefits of garlic:
1. Treats Skin diseases
This herb may not be found in acne products’ list of ingredients, but it can serve as a natural topical treatment to get rid of blemishes. Allicin, the organic compound in garlic, has the ability to stop the damaging effects of radicals and kill bacteria.
In its decomposed form — sulfenic acid — allicin produces a fast reaction with radicals, which makes it a valuable herb for treating acne scars, skin diseases, and allergies.
The chemical ajoene found in garlic may help treat fungal skin infections like ringworm and athlete’s foot.
If you have a skin infection, you could apply the juice of come crushed garlic cloves on the area once or twice a day. Wash the juice off with some clean, room temperature water.

2. Aids Hair Treatment
A head full of hair that smells like garlic could help in the treatment of hair loss. The herb’s extremely high sulfur content contains keratin, the protein hair is made of. This stimulates fortification and growth.You can also infuse oil with garlic and massage it into your scalp.

3. Treat Colds
Packed with antioxidants, your immune system could benefit if you give it a
constant boost of powerful garlic in daily recipes. If a cold does sneak by, try
sipping garlic tea : steep chopped or minced garlic in hot water for several minutes, then strain and drink. You can add a bit of honey or ginger to improve the taste.

4. Maintains Blood Pressure
Allicin in garlic blocks the activity of angiotensin II (a protein that is responsible for increase in blood pressure) and helps in reducing blood pressure.
The polysulphides present in garlic are converted into a gas called hydrogen sulphide by red blood cells that helps dilate your blood vessels and helps control blood pressure. If your blood pressure levels are of concern, there are natural alternatives to blood pressure medication that you could try after speaking to your doctor about the change.

5. Protects the Heart
With age, your arteries tend to lose their ability to stretch and garlic can help maintain their elasticity.
It also helps protect the heart from the damaging effects of free oxygen radicals.
The sulphur-containing compounds of garlic also prevent our blood vessels from becoming blocked and slow the development of
atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).
The anti-clotting properties of ajoene (a compound present in garlic) helps prevent the formation of clots inside your blood vessels.
Can reduce the levels of bad cholesterol
The allicin present in garlic helps moderately lower our blood triglycerides and total cholesterol.
This compound also helps reduce arterial plaque formation.

6. Keep Away MOSQUITOES
Scientists aren't sure why, but mosquitoes don't seem to like garlic. One study in India found that people who rubbed a garlicky concoction on their arms and legs weren't bothered by the pesky buggers. Make a solution of garlic oil, petroleum jelly, and beeswax for a natural repellant or place cloves of garlic nearby. This one works wonders, keeps malaria at bay.

just what for,

SirWere:
Timaya, flavour, Terry-G... Dem plenty like mad

are u sure, have u heard them sing up close

SirWere:
The most important rule : Use a crazy dope beat so that even if your song no make sense people will still like it

have you heard of a singer with a bad voice, then people still like them? I have heard of songs with no meaning, but that doesn't mean the singer is bad. Not all singers write their songs.

Singing might be an hobby for some, to others its a profession, a way of life, and just like every profession, there are tips that every singer must know.

1. Stay hydrated: Drink up to 8-10 glasses of pure water every day (any caffeinated drink does not count). Water thins your mucus and lubricates your vocal cords like oil lubricates a car engine. Thick mucous causes friction and trauma to vocal cords. More water, less friction, less trauma, better voice.

2. Warm up your voice regularly: Simple warm ups are important, especially for auditions and performances (just as runners warm up for a marathon). Better yet, take a classical music approach: do glissandos (descending scales) and staccatos (punctuated breathing exercises) and messadivoce (controlling intensity of volume).

3. Take vocal "naps": Your voice needs a rest, just like you do. So, find quiet time everyday - especially when on tour or recording a track.

4.Get adequate sleep. Sounds like common sense -- and it is. The more sleep you get, the more you will be awake and have more energy for a show.

5. Do not smoke anything: No finger wagging here, it's just that smoke is an irritant that swells your vocal cords. And a reminder: Not all bars are smoke free, so you can play in any venue without the damage of second hand smoke.

6. Use your microphone: There is no need to sing to the back of the room. Let the microphone be loud for you. Using the microphone prevents straining your voice.

7. Have good monitors: You need to hear yourself for vocal feedback. Use a floor monitor or ear monitor to be aware of what you sound like, what the band sounds like. You may be singing louder than you need and straining your voice.

8. Develop good singing technique: Vocal training will not change your style. It will strengthen your voice and allow you to sing longer, louder, more often and without fatigue . Vocal training will help make you a vocal athlete.

9. Develop a speaking voice to go with your singing voice: You speak 99% of the time and sing 1%. A poor speaking voice often leads to vocal strain that will carry into your singing voice. This is true especially on tours, when giving radio and other media interviews.

10.Most importantly, listen to your voice. Like any athlete, you will be the first to know when trouble is starting. If your voice hurts, back off. Change your set. Choose songs genre you can sing without straining your voice.

3. Snacking
Keep a well-timed and healthy snack options to avoid that late afternoon crash and overeating at meal time. A healthy but high in calorie snacks like dried fruit and nuts should be consumed in small amounts.e.g grapes.

4. Have Something Sweet

Add a sweet-tasting food into your main course to ward off urges for sugary desserts. Add some pear or apple into your salad to make you feel more satisfied minus the cravings.

5. What to drink
Lemon juice with black pepper
Lemon juice keeps the body refresh and helps in digesting food, as it regulates and break down in the gastro-intestinal track. You can add black pepper to make it more powerful to aid in weight loss. Black pepper contains piperine that helps block fat cell generation.
Use lemon juice, fresh water and black pepper. Mix all the ingredients and keep it refrigerated. Drink at least 1-2 times daily.

Do you feel overwhelmed when you want to buy moisturizer for your skin? That’s no surprise, as there are dozens to choose from at the drugstore and hundreds more at high-end cosmetics and department stores — creams, lotions, ointments, some with sunscreen, others with an exfoliant. Choices range from the basic jar of petroleum jelly to a five-ounce tub of designer skin moisturizer. And all the options in between can make your head spin.
While choosing the right skin moisturizer may seem confusing, it’s actually very simple if you follow a few guidelines, first rule of thumb? Don’t spend too much money.

How a Skin Moisturizer Works
Cleansers and moisturizers are the most important skin products, particularly for softening dry skin. A skin moisturizer works by sealing moisture into the outer layer of the skin and by pulling moisture from the inner layers of skin to the outer layer.

Guidelines:
Know your skin type: Skin varies widely, and no single product can solve everyone’s problems. But knowing your skin type isn’t always as clear-cut as it seems: A shiny T-zone doesn’t necessarily indicate oily skin, and redness doesn’t guarantee sensitivity. Before you stock your medicine cabinet, read these tips. No matter what your skin type is – normal, dry, oily or combination, you need to moisturize. However, the thickness of the moisturizer you need to use depends on your skin type.

Oily Skin

Telltale Signs: While you’d expect that the skin you wake up with is a good indication of its natural state, you should pay attention to your skin at the end of the day — is it shiny then? If you wake up and your skin feels greasy, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s oily. “It could be from the moisturizer or cream that you are using the night before.” Breakouts can also be an indication.

How To Treat: find cream formulas that have exfoliating agents such as lactic, glycolic and salicylic acids. It must be noncomedogenic to avoid clogging the pores. Oil-based moisturizer affects greatly on acne-prone skin. Look for cream formulas that have exfoliating agents such as lactic, glycolic and salicylic acids. It must be noncomedogenic to avoid clogging the pores. Do not use a moisturizer that contains lanolin, mineral oil, waxes or shea butter to prevent facial acne.

Dry Skin

Telltale Signs: Your skin is dull, dry and/or flaky at the end of the day (even after a long day of exposure to dirt and heat).

How To Treat: For dry skin, cream formula with heavier oil-based with mineral oil and glycerin is your best bet because it gives better absorption through the skin barriers to hydrate the skin. Avoid moisturizers that contain acids and alcohol such as alpha hydroxyl acid, glycolic acid, retinoic acid and salicylic acid because these ingredients are not suited for those with delicate skin type.

Sensitive Skin

Telltale Signs: Blushing, itching and easily sun-burning are all signs of sensitive skin, toners and exfoliants sting or burn, and products such as bubble bath or shampoo with added fragrances make you break out.

How To Treat: Opt for hypoallergenic and fragrance-free moisturizer. Treat acne with a product containing a mild concentration of benzoyl peroxide.
Use a creamy scrub with soft, synthetic beads to exfoliate. A low-strength glycolic wash with a higher PH will also be less likely to burn when in contact with skin.

Combination Skin

Telltale Signs: Skin is shiny in the T-zone only and the rest of the face is dry. Prone to occasional breakouts.

How To Treat: Although parts of your face (most likely the outer edges) are dry, exfoliation is still key as it manages oil production and removes any peeling skin. Another way to balance the oil is to actually use a face oil.
Well-moisturized skin will in turn produce less oil, preventing future breakouts. Also use moisturizer with less acid.

thanks man

you are welcome.

More than 80 million people suffer from chronic halitosis, or bad breath worldwide. In most cases it originates from the gums and tongue. Sulfides produced by bacteria are the cause of bad breath.
Not everyone who has bad breath is aware that they have the problem. People's odd reactions when you open your mouth to speak are a clue but there are ways to confirm your suspicions. The scientific way is to use a bad breath meter which measures the quantity of sulfides in your breath.

How to get rid of bad breath:

1. Brush teeth twice a day.
Brush your teeth two to three minutes at least twice a day to remove plaque and food debris. It’s very important to brush your teeth before going to bed. You might try an additional round of brushing with baking soda to reduce the acidity in the mouth and make it difficult for the bacteria that cause bad breath to grow.

2. Floss daily.
Flossing will remove food debris from in between the teeth that a toothbrush can't reach. If the food debris is not removed, the bacteria will begin to feed on it, causing bad breath.

3. Brush or scrape your tongue.
To remove any residue that may be building up between the taste buds and folds in the tongue, invest in an inexpensive tool called a tongue scraper, which is available in drugstores. If you don’t have a tongue scraper, you can use your toothbrush to brush your tongue. Brush especially the top of your tongue.

4. Use a mouth rinse.
Keep in mind that if a dental problem is the cause of chronic bad breath, a mouth rinse will only mask the odor and not cure it. In some cases, mouth rinses may actually worsen a bad breath problem by irritating oral tissue. For an emergency freshen-up, try a quick rinse with a mix of water and a few drops of peppermint oil. Or rinse your mouth with black or green tea: according to a study by the University of Illinois at Chicago, rinsing your mouth with black or green tea suppresses the growth of bacteria that cause mouth odor. Never use an alcohol mouth rinser, check the materials used for the product before buying because they make the mouth dry and worsen the problem.

5. Visit your dentist.
The best way to make sure that you are maintaining good oral hygiene is to visit your dentist regularly. If you have chronic bad breath, you should visit your dentist first, to rule out any dental problems. Or, if your dentist believes that the problem is caused from a systemic (internal) source such as an infection, he or she may refer you to your family physician or a specialist to help remedy the cause of the problem.

6. Quit smoking and avoid tobacco products.
If you ever needed another reason to quit, here’s an easy one: smoking contributes to bad breath. Tobacco tends to dry out your mouth and can leave an unpleasant smell that lingers even after brushing your teeth.

7. Wet your whistle.
Be sure to drink a sufficient amount of water (six to eight 8-ounce glasses) daily to avoid dry mouth. Drinking water will help keep odor under control because it helps wash away food particles and bacteria, the primary cause of bad breath. If you have chronic dry mouth or take medications that cause you to have dry mouth, talk to your dentist about recommending an over-the-counter saliva substitute.

8. Eat a piece of sugarless candy or chew sugarless gum.
If you have dry mouth, try sucking on a piece of sugarless candy or chew sugarless gum to stimulate saliva flow. The saliva will help to wash away food debris and bacteria that cause bad breath. An example are those minty gum.

9. Munch on a carrot, a stick of celery, apple, lettuce, pears and green cucumber.
Snacks of crispy, fresh fruits and vegetables step up your saliva flow between meals to help wash away bacteria from teeth, tongue and gums that can cause bad breath. These snacks can also help alleviate bad breath caused by hunger or fasting. An empty stomach from skipping meals can cause foul breath as acids in the stomach build up.
