Although the research is a bit spotty when it comes to which foods help or harm sleep, anecdotal evidence does suggest that certain items consumed right before bedtime are more likely to be "sleep promoters" while others may be "sleep stealers," says Russell Rosenberg, Ph.D, CEO of the National Sleep Foundation. The below highlighted foods are foods you are advised to eat at night to have a qualitative night rest.

http://tbthealth..com/2015/07/why-you-shouldnt-tattoo-your-body-risk.html?m=1 I don't know the major reason why people tattoo their bodies. But to me, it's disgusting and unreasonable! It adds no beauty whatsoever or does it? Well, continue reading!... Tattoos breach the skin, which means that skin infections and other complications are possible, including: - Allergic reactions. Tattoo dyes — especially red, green, yellow and blue dyes — can cause allergic skin reactions, such as an itchy rash at the tattoo site. This can occur even years after you get the tattoo. - Skin infections. A skin infection is possible after tattooing. Other skin problems. Sometimes bumps called granulomas form around tattoo ink. Tattooing also can lead to keloids — raised areas caused by an overgrowth of scar tissue. - Bloodborne diseases. If the equipment used to create your tattoo is contaminated with infected blood, you can contract various bloodborne diseases — including tetanus, hepatitis B and hepatitis C. - MRI complications. Rarely, tattoos or permanent makeup might cause swelling or burning in the affected areas during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams. In some cases, tattoo pigments can interfere with the quality of the image. Medication or other treatment might be needed if you experience an allergic reaction to the tattoo ink or you develop an infection or other skin problem near a tattoo. http://tbthealth..com/2015/07/why-you-shouldnt-tattoo-your-body-risk.html?m=1 Cc Lalasticlala, Ishilove |
http://tbthealth..com/2015/06/10-foods-you-shouldn-eat-at-night.html?m=1 The below are foods you are advised not to consume at night. Reason: All the below foods if eaten consecutively at night can affect your shape, height and other essentials. Read: 1. Cheese Cheese is fattening and easy to over-eat on. Cheese should be eaten in very strict moderation. Cheese is high in saturated fat and cholesterol, and too much of it can increase your risk of heart disease. 2. Citrus Too many fruits can lead to gas at night, and makes digestion more complicated because sugar ferments. If you must eat some fruit before bed, try not to eat more than a cup. 3. Spicy Food Spicy or hot foods stimulate your senses, and they have the ability to give heartburn or contribute to an upset stomach, and no one wants that before bed. 4. Fatty Food Pizza, burgers and French-fries taste great, but they aren’t great to your body, so don’t eat them at night. They can mess up your digestive system and help you pack on the pounds. You’ll feel horrible the next day, zapped of the energy you need to make your day productive. 5. Red Meats Red meats are hard to digest. That’s why you shouldn’t eat them at night. It will be harder to fall asleep if you do eat red meat directly before bed. 6. Cereals It is very difficult to follow serving suggestions for cereal, so if you’re watching your weight, it’s best to eat it in the morning but not late at night. 7. Vegetables I know I threw you off with my suggestion to lay off of fruits and citrus before bed, but you are probably shocked vegetables make the list. Some vegetables are not ideal to eat before bed. Celery, for example, celery is a diuretic. According to this article, a diuretic increases the rate of urination. It’s counter-productive to eat these types of vegetables, because you’ll be waking up more than usual at night to use the restroom instead of getting a good rest. 8. Junk Food Chips and salsa, popcorn, and all that other comfort food. Let it go. It’s not helping you sleep better, lose weight, or be healthy. 9. Sweets Put down that ice cream cone, candy bar, or piece of chocolate, because they are officially off limits before bed! Yes, these things can be considered comfort foods, but these same comfort foods are loaded with fat! Sugar also keeps you up longer! It’s not the type of combination you want while you’re trying to go to bed! 10. Bread Unless you’re trying to gain weight, eating bread before going to bed is a horrible idea. The carbs in bread can make you hungrier at night, and cause you to overeat. Confused? Then explore the internet and check out other suggestions. Many of the things I’ve listed here, are the same things health experts elsewhere will tell you to avoid. Some experts suggest not eating at all three to four hours before bed. http://tbthealth..com/2015/06/10-foods-you-shouldn-eat-at-night.html?m=1 |

http://tbthealth..in/2015/06/orientating-isolation-by-olabajo.html?m=1 Social isolation? If I walk up to you and ask you, Hey, define social isolation in two sentences, What would be your response and how will you define it? Well, last week or thereabout, I saw a programme where the Anchors emphasized a lot on Loneliness. That very day, I got inspired to write this article but many things occupied me. But today, i was so bored and the topic came to my head again. Now, what is Social Isolation? As it self implies "Isolated Socially" But in a concrete definition, it refers to a complete or an almost complete lack of contact with people and society for members of a social species. It is however not "so" the same as loneliness rooted in humans. Social isolation is not limited to anyone, it affects both the young and old. It leads to depression and depression to various diseases. According to the Tv programme I saw, they statistied some facts which will be elucidated below. In 1985, most people, especially women, walked in three, but now the statistical fact has drastically fallen to two. You might have wandered in thoughts, how does this enhance or cause Social isolation? You probably thought! Friends and people who walk in three(s) tend to share more secrets together, hang out more and do many other things together which ofcourse conquers boredom unlike the other party who walk in two(s). Social isolation is also a cause and a symptom of emotional or psychological challenges. As a cause, the perceived inability to interact with the world and others can create an escalating pattern of these challenges. As a symptom, the periods of isolation can be chronic or episodic, depending upon any cyclical changes in mood, especially in the case of clinical depression, and possibly bipolar disorders. Isolation increases the feelings of loneliness and depression, fear of other people, or even create a more negative self-image. It can also create a negative impression that there is a whole world going on that they are not or unable to be a part of. So bad! How it threatens our health. - Social Isolation can cause fatigue(extreme tiredness) - Social Isolation can also give this Feeling of being worthless and helpless - It can also make you consume less food that's not eating as necessary. - It can affect our sleeping pattern. - It can cause Agitation and anxiety. - It can also hinder our ability to think, concentrate, and make decisions - And lastly it can lead to thoughts of death or suicide. As you have read, Social isolation can be so bad. It is not a disease but it can lead to diseases. You know anyone who is socially isolated? that is always bored? Do the below to help him/her! Some suggestions: - Don’t text. Call the individual often! - Set up something low-key, like a walk together. - Don’t diminish what the lonely person is going through, share things with him/her, like secrets, gist, food and drinks and whatever you think is palatable. - Do your best in motivating and making him/ her happy always. You? And, are you the one this article was written for?. Make yourself happy often. Like http://facebook.com/tbtdaily , i do some motivation there. http://tbthealth..in/2015/06/orientating-isolation-by-olabajo.html?m=1 |

Source: http://tbthealth..in/2015/06/highlighted-but-essential-dseases.html?m=1 As we are apparently aware that the cassava produced grain can cause lots of stuffs we don't like. Since its one of Africa's most versatile products in consumption, it leaves us vulnerable to many unwanted diseases. This cassava-produced-grain can be used to make eba(garri made with hot water). So also can it be cooked with cold water. Africa Students has so made this garri a valuable stock to the extent that it brought out a phrase which I won't want to say. It can be eaten with fried meat, raw cooked meat, fried fish, raw cooked fish, groundnut and many others. So good as it is in quashing hunger, so also does it leaves us vulnerable to many diseases such as - Ulcer - Blindness - Stomach pain - Blurry Vision - Anaemia - High blood pressure - Diabetes(since its mostly mixed with sugar) - Scratching of the skin. - Skin rash Note: it is not advisable to take garri in a cold weather. http://tbthealth..in/2015/06/highlighted-but-essential-dseases.html?m=1 |

Understanding why you’re always hungry can help to defeat excessive hunger and get you on the road to healthier and more moderate eating. - Alcohol Your glass of wine or beer with dinner could be contributing to your hunger. Research has shown that drinking alcohol can increase the presence of the hormone, ghrelin, which triggers a feeling of hunger. In addition to eating more while drinking, the increased feeling of hunger can carry on to subsequent meals. - Speed Eating Although quickly eating a meal on the run or between meetings may be a time saver, it can backfire in the long run. When you eat quickly, the hormone your stomach sends to let your body know that you’re full doesn’t have time to trigger, preventing you from ever feeling full. Studies have proven that individuals who take longer to chew their food stay fuller longer. - Sleep Deprivation In today’s fast paced society, it is common for people to get as few as four or five hours of sleep a night. When your body hasn’t had adequate rest, it becomes more difficult to produce the hormone leptin, which is responsible for allowing your body to feel full. Sleep deprivation also leads to an increase in the production of the hunger inducing hormone ghrelin. Furthermore, sleep deprivation stimulates the part of the brain that is responsible for recognizing food as a source of pleasure. - Peer Pressure Making healthy choices is infinitely more difficult when you’re with a large group. When friends and family are indulging in unhealthy plates or desserts at dinner, it isn’t always easy to say no. Avoiding unhealthy options is particularly difficult when you’re dating or find yourself in new social situations when the desire to fit in is more prevalent. Try not to let these pressures deter you from your mission, a healthy you will be a happier you in the long run! - Skipping Breakfast Many people skip breakfast as a way to save time in the morning. Skipping breakfast has many negative repercussions such as; slowing down your metabolism, causing you to feel hungry, and stimulating your body into storing food instead of burning it. People who skip breakfast are nearly five times as likely to be obese than their breakfast eating counterparts. - Too Much Tube Time While watching television, you’re more likely to eat processed snack foods, eat high calorie meals, and indulge in soft drinks. In fact, people who watch more than two hours of television a day are more likely to be overweight than individuals who watch less television. - Stress Many people turn to food as a coping mechanism, eating as a way to deal with stressful or negative emotions. This can lead to an unhealthy eating cycle. Stress eating does not reduce negative emotions or anxieties, but rather triggers the need to eat more and leads to weight gain and further anxieties. - Diet Soda Once touted as a healthy alternative to sugary drinks, diet soda has a negative impact on appetite and overall health. Sugar substitutes can alter the body’s ability to feel full and trigger feelings of hunger. When tasting something sweet, our bodies expect sugar and calories to follow. When this doesn’t happen, our brain is confused and must adapt to a new process. - Dehydration Often, what people perceive as hunger is actually thirst. This is especially true when a person is chronically dehydrated. In fact, many symptoms that people think of as associated with hunger; crankiness, low energy, feeling weak, can be attributed to dehydration. - Eating Processed Foods Processed foods are often high in calories and low in nutrients. Because of this your body continues to crave sustenance. Additionally, processed food often contains additives and chemicals that can be addictive. Some research has shown that high fructose corn syrup, which is a main ingredient in many processed foods, can slow down production of the hormone leptin, which tells the brain that you are full. - Chewing Gum Chewing gum, even sugar free gum, can increase feelings of hunger. When gum is chewed, the saliva that is produced is swallowed and sent to the stomach. The body then looks for food to follow which can make you hungrier http://tbthealth..in/2015/06/essential-why-you-always-hungry.html?m=1 |
Boil, also called furuncles, are painful, red lumps filled with pus on the skin above infected hair follicles. When boils appear in a group, they are called a carbuncle. Boils are painful as they get bigger, before bursting on their own after some days or weeks. The most common places for boils to appear are on the face , neck, armpits, shoulders and buttocks. When a boil forms on the eyelid, it is called a stye. Causes of boils Most boils are caused by a germ (staphylococcal bacteria). This germ enters the body through tiny nicks or cuts in the skin or can travel down the hair to the follicle. Some health problems make people more susceptible to skin infections, including: - Diabetes. - Problems with the immune system. - Poor nutrition. - Poor hygiene. - Exposure to harsh chemicals that irritate the skin. http://tbthealth..in/2015/06/essential-causes-of-boils.html?m=1 |

I'm Olabajo Oluwatobi David, I blog at http://tbthealth..com , While researching I came across this topic and felt it would be useful for Nairalanders. 16. Zimbabwe – Power Index: 3.0955 The Zimbabwe Defense Forces (ZDF) include the Zimbabwe National Army and the Air Force of Zimbabwe. Being a landlocked country, they lack a naval force. The country also holds a strong paramilitary force with its own air wing. ZDF includes 30,000 active personnel, 20,000 reserves, 325 armored fighting vehicles, and 92 aircraft. 15. Ghana – Power Index: 2.9726 The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) are supervised by the Ghanaian Ministry of Defense, and are under the command of President John Dramani Mahama. The GAF’s external operations since the 1960s have seen involvement in turbulent international situations including the Rwandan genocide, the Iran-Iraq war, and the Lebanese Civil War. Active front line personnel number 13,500, armored fighting vehicles for the land forces number 125, and the GAF has 24 aircraft, and 23 naval vessels. 14. South Sudan – Power Index: 2.7689 Founded as a guerrilla movement in 1983, the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) played a large and violent role in the disastrous Second Sudanese Civil War. Its commander-in-chief is Salva Kiir Mayardit, and it has a land force with 110 tanks, 250 armored fighting vehicles, 210,000 active front line personnel, and a tiny air force with nine aircraft. 13. Uganda – Power Index: 2.6895 The Uganda People’s Defense Force (UPDF) was formerly the National Resistance Army, renamed after the 1995 enactment of the constitution. It has almost managed to push the violent Lord’s Resistance Army — a children’s army — out of Uganda. UPDF relies heavily on Russian, Polish, and Chinese military materials. Its land systems consist of 350 armored fighting vehicles and 25 towed artillery pieces; 43 aircraft and eight naval vessels. 12. Democratic Republic of Congo – Power Index: 2.6642 The Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) started coming into its own after peace was restored following the horrendous Second Congo War, which ended in 2003. The military’s greatest asset is its land forces, although it also holds small air and naval units. Because of massive ongoing instability in the region, the U.N. has deployed armed forces to assist the FARDC. Some features of the DRC’s military include 90 tanks, 200 armored fighting vehicles, 42 aircraft types, and 20 naval vessels. 11. Sudan – Power Index: 2.3465 The Sudanese Armed Forces serve and protect the Republic of Sudan. Their units are comprised of the land forces, air force, navy, and the Popular Defense Force–the military wing of National Islamic Front. Their enemies are the rebel group the Sudan People’s Liberation Army of the Republic of South Sudan — a result of two violent civil wars that split the nation. They receive most of their military equipment from Russia and China, including 360 tanks, 400 armed fighting vehicles, 168 aircraft, and 18 naval crafts. 10. Libya – Power Index: 2.3353 The strength of Libya’s military comes mainly from its large cache of equipment, despite a relatively small number of active troops. Further hampering Libya’s abilities is the continuing violence and unrest stemming from the revolution which began in 2011. A stable government has yet to emerge from it. Regardless, the country still has available 2,500 armored fighting vehicles, 500 tanks, 600 towed artillery pieces, 6,500 logistical vehicles, and much more. 9. Angola – Power Index: 2.2599 The Angolan Armed Forces (FAA), headed by Chief of Staff Geraldo Nunda, succeeded the Armed Forces for the Liberation of Angola in 1991. It has three components: the army, the navy, and the air force. Its involvement in training the armies of Cape Verde and Guinea- Bissau was controversial, especially as the leaders of the 2012 Guinea-Bissau coup d’etat cited Angola’s military mission as a primary reason for an uprising. The FAA owns 920 armored fighting vehicles, 140 tanks, 270 pieces of aircraft, and has a navy of 56 craft. 8. Tunisia – Power Index: 1.8635 The Tunisian Armed Forces is composed of three mechanized brigades, one Saharan territorial group, one special forces group, and one military police regiment. They have contributed to peacekeeping missions, including during the Rwandan genocide, and were forced into border clashes with Libyan rebels in 2011 during their civil war. They hold 900 armored fighting vehicles, 350 tanks, a manpower of over five million, 139 pieces of aircraft and a total naval strength of 50. 7. Morocco – Power Index: 1.8499 Highly dependent on foreign equipment, the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces have been involved in the conflict with the POLISARO, a liberation movement fighting for the independence of Western Sahara. They are involved in numerous peacekeeping missions, including in Somalia. The military has at its disposal 2,120 armored fighting vehicles, 1,348 tanks, 323 total aircraft pieces, and a total naval strength of 121. 6. Kenya – Power Index: 1.7689 Kenya has established itself as a vital participant in international peacekeeping missions, and is able to do so due to its merchant marine strength and an enormous labor force – resulting in high available manpower. Though it doesn’t possess as much of its own equipment, its role as a member of international teams allows the Kenyan military to share resources with other countries, strengthening its own capabilities at the same time. 5. Nigeria – Power Index: 1.5261 Due to its size, it’s no surprise that several hundred thousand troops comprise the Nigerian Armed Forces — army, navy, and air force. Like Algeria, an abundant domestic oil supply eases the financial burden of involvement in military conflict. Nigeria has more than 1,400 armored vehicles, 360 tanks, and 6,000 logistical vehicles at its disposal, as well as nearly 300 aircraft and 25 high- powered naval vessels. 4. South Africa – Power Index: 1.3467 As it hasn’t been embroiled in an international military conflict for some time, South Africa uses its highly advanced military for peacekeeping and international cooperation. Its aircraft and naval vessels are notoriously well equipped with the latest technology, and though the country has less than 100,000 active front line personnel, it has the capabilities and manpower for much more. Add to that a vast array of land system technology, and the South African military is a force to be reckoned with. 3. Ethiopia – Power Index: 1.3229 As a landlocked country, Ethiopia has focused its resources on developing its army and air force to an impressive degree (the GFP doesn’t penalize landlocked countries for not having a naval force). Several hundred thousand personnel make up its current force, and it has significant numbers of land and air systems at its disposal. An enormous population allows Ethiopia to maintain a large fighting force, and gives the country one of the greatest militaries on the continent. 2. Algeria – Power Index: 1.1698 As Algeria has a large maritime border, it has developed all its military capabilities to an impressively modern degree, including its land, sea, and air forces. Algeria’s active frontline personnel number more than 127,000 troops and it has nearly 2,000 armored fighting vehicles at its disposal. Algeria also has the added benefit of its own oil reserves, allowing it to use its own fuel to power tanks, aircraft carriers, naval vessels, and more. 1. Egypt – Power Index: 0.6122 Egypt puts itself over the top with regard to military strength due to the sheer size of its armed forces. Nearly 500,000 personnel serve on its active frontline force, far surpassing all its African counterparts. It has nearly 10,000 armored fighting vehicles, 60,000 logistical vehicles, 900 aircraft, and large oil reserves from which to draw. The military has been somewhat undermined in the wake of the Egyptian Revolution, but some argue that its increased role in government has made it stronger than ever. Whether or not this is a cause for celebration or concern will remain debated for some time to come. CC: lalasticlala, Ishilove |
