We've been led to believe that vegetable oils are health foods. Even though they provide essential omega-6 fats, these fats are not good for our health when we eat them in excess.

Vegetable oils also produce harmful compounds when fried or when reheated and used for a long time. These compounds have been linked to dementia, heart disease and autoimmune diseases.

Read more about why you stop cooking with vegetable oils and healthier alternatives that you should consider.

We all fast regularly for spiritual/religious reasons, but did you know that fasting has wonderful health benefits? I'm not just talking about weight loss, because that is a minor health benefit.

When done correctly, fasting can help improve your well-being and even help alleviate health conditions.

and despite all the antibiotics and antimalarial medication, you never seem to shake it off?

Well, chances are that you don't really have either of those conditions. Yes! I know you may think I'm nuts because you did a blood test and the blood test came back positive. Well, allow me to break the news, lab tests are not 100% accurate. There is a possibility that your result was a 'false positive' i.e. it wasn't really positive.

So if you don't really have malaria or typhoid when what do you have?

Well, here are five conditions with symptoms similar to malaria... check them out http://midasnaturalsmag.com/10-conditions-with-similar-symptoms-to-malaria/

Okay, I know Nigerians love meat, chicken, fish etc. But, do you any of you think you survive on a vegan diet? Aka no animal products at all.. no meat, chicken, fish, eggs, milk, yoghurt, honey. If you can't can you please tell me why? Thank you

Eat whole plant based foods, reduce animal products, drink lots of water, stop drinking alcohol (if you do) and exercise regularly.

She should probably get it checked out. It could be benign but its better to be safe than sorry.

Please, I need help on how to stop taking tramadol without experiencing the withdraw symptoms.

I've had two seizures now, caused by it, so I've decided to stop taking it. But the problem is that it has some mad withdrawal symptoms.

I've been taking it constantly for like two years now and I now take averagely a whole satchet of 100mg per day.

The problem is that, even when I was not this addicted to it and I tried to stop, the withdrawal symptoms especially the insomnia was unbearable, so I had to start taking it again.

So please, I need help. I need techniques on how to stop without experiencing the withdrawal symptoms. And I'll like to hear from anyone who has successfully stopped taking it. Thanks

Oh dear! I'm sorry to hear you're going through this. Since you're addicted to it, it might be best to go to a rehab centre so that they help you come of it slowly. If you want to go at it alone, you'll have to reduce the amount you're taking over time so that the withdrawal symptoms are not as bad. If you take a whole 100g sachet right now, perhaps try cutting by half into 50g then slowly reduce to 40, 30, 20, 10, 5. Then you can do 5g every other day, 5g every three days, 5g every week and then none at all. Obviously you can miss some steps if you're fine without it after a certain point. I hope you beat this!

You can still live a relatively 'healthy' life despite HIV. The 'secret' to achieving this is by taking your HAART medication regularly and by optimising your diet and lifestyle. These steps help to prevent your HIV from progressing into full blown AIDS. Once HIV progresses to AIDS, your prognosis is poor.

Also ditching all carbs is a bad idea. Ditch bad carbs but not good carbs.

There is a maintenance level but it involves eating carbs of course. As long as you're able to control the amount of carbs you eat once you stop eating a ketogenic diet, you'll be fine. Also bear in mind that once you start eating carbs again, you will gain some weight back, but that weight will be mainly water.

Gewezzy1:
lol so I have to eat that way forever, I thought there was a maintenance level

If it is just a one off then stress could be a factor. If it happens often, then you may have hormonal imbalances. Your doctor would be able to advise better after tests.

There is really no cure for Hep B infections, it can only be managed. That said, check our website next week for natural remedies for Hep B.

It's called premenstrual syndrome (PMS), it happens to the best of us. Take evening primrose oil, it helps.

The only problem with this is that if you don't keep eating like this for the rest of your life, you will gain all the weight back.

Yes, I know there are many of you. I also know some of you can live on it for the rest of your lives, no problems at all. But there are many things the manufacturers of Indomie noodles are not telling you. Instead, they make it so delicious so you're hooked on it. At least until you have that never ending malaria or typhoid fever that no amount of medication seems to cure

One cause of vaginal infections that people overlook is the use of all these hygiene sprays and washing inside the vagina with water and other perfumed materials. Medically it is called douching.

Vaginas are designed to self clean..when you use these artificial sprays and cleansers, you change the pH of the vagina and remove all the natural flora (microorganisms) that are meant to clean it and protect it from external infections.

If you already have an infection, get it treated. Once its healed, stop using sprays and cleansers to clean your vagina.

Please don't cut down on carbohydrates for a baby, that's where they get most of their energy from. Their ability to digest protein from animal sources is very limited.

In response to question 2: It shouldn't be sperm thickening up, it could be your CM changing from the slippery mucus that promotes conception to the one that doesn't really favour conception.

You actually should go to a hospital. Do you have any other symptoms apart from waist pain like needing to pee frequently, pain, thirst?

It's only 2 days late, that's not a problem as long as you haven't had unprotected sex.

Hello people, my menstrual period has been very consistent since the past one year now. My last period was supposed to be on 25th this month and it didn't come as expected. Today is 27th Nov. And I've still not seen it. Pls what do you think is the cause? Am scared as it's unusual. The only different thing I did recently is that I took some drugs prior to my period cos I was sick and the names of the drugs are doxycycline, imodium and ketrax as prescribed by the doctor. Does any of these drugs delay period? Experienced Doctors in the house pls help!
