Nothing is more annoying than insomnia, and
the evidence is piling up that sleep is
essential for good health . 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.

- Milk
- Rice
- Bananas
- Turkey
- Sweet potato
- Valerian tea
- Fortified cereal
- Cherries

Do you suffer from one or more of the followings and other health conditions that defies medical diagnosis and solutions?


 MOVING OBJECTS IN THE BODY
 ITCHING OF SKIN AFTER BATH
 PRESSED DOWN DURING SLEEP
 SHAKING FINGERS & HANDS
 SEX & EATING IN THE DREAM
 HEAVINESS OF THE HEAD
 STOMACH NOISE & HOT SENSATION IN THE WOMB

 STRANGE SATANIC ATTACKS DURING PREGNANCY: ABDUCTION OF BABY FROM WOMB-FLAT TOMMY AT NIGHT AND TOMMY COMING TO NORMAL SIZE DURING THE DAY, BLEEDING, FIBROID, CONVULSION/EPILEPSY, HIGH & LOW BLOOD PRESSURE ETC


You are simply a victim of satanic spiritual attacks. If you have done all kinds of medical tests and applied all medications like swallowing antibiotics, bathing 100 degrees celcius hot water, using disinfectant while bathing and done all kinds of skin and blood tests at home and abroad etc without any diagnosis and solution, then you are suffering from a spiritual attack. I was a victim for at least 3 decades but today I can bath hot or cold water as much as I want without being afraid of itching.

I thought i was the only one suffering from this, i mentioned it to my dad and he said he experienced it at a point in his life, that was when i knew it was hereditary (as someone said in the first page) and it could be outgrown as I'm still very young. Lol.

Anyways, mine only happens during the day, like say 12pm to 4 or 5pm. Early morning bath, no problem! Late night bath, no problem! Funny thing is that i just unconsciously stopped using sponge, without really knowing that it helped. Lol i guess my subconscious was active.
I only bath with cold water anyways, even in the coldest weather, i guess that has to reduce / stop now.

And yeah, THANKS GUYS!

HealthWhy You Shouldn't Tattoo Your Body by tobeetoe(op):
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.

Health10 Foods You Shouldn't Eat At Night. by tobeetoe(op): 10:01pm On Jun 30, 2015
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.

Health"Social Isolation" By Olabajo Oluwatobi David by tobeetoe(op): 9:27am On Jun 27, 2015
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.

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.

HealthWhy You're Always Hungry. by tobeetoe(op): 8:30am On Jun 26, 2015
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

HealthSimple Causes Of Boils. by tobeetoe(op): 8:22am On Jun 26, 2015
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.

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.
