8 BEST WAYS TO WHITEN YOUR TEETH Posted by CITYHEALTHBLOGGER on DECEMBER 14, 2017 Listen,you don’t have to cover your mouth and face down while when someone says something funny.I know how you feel.I also have a friend who doesn’t smile in public.Not because he’s mean,or someone threatened to kill his family if he does so,but his teeth could have been mistaken for the Brazilian flag,if only the green circle and the writing wasn’t there.I wasn’t happy about this,so i researched by asking the best dentists i could find,the way out. Whitening your teeth has been taken as a myth by most people.This can be attributed to the overhyped campaign by toothpaste companies on how it can be done in one week or less.But listen my friend, I’m not here to teach you how to whiten your teeth by waving a magic wand or toothbrush over it,like they do in most commercial.I’m here to teach you how to whiten your teeth in the most fun way possible. Also,you will learn some poor habits that cause permanent decolouration of the teeth,and the best way to avoid them.So be one of the first to get the dentist-approved advice for whitening your teeth and smile more confidently. 1)Visit The Dentist This can be very difficult for most people.Not because of time,but because the dentist is presumed to be visited only when dental issues is severe.But according to statistics,a regular visits to the dentist is not only good for the oral health,but other dental advice can be gotten,which might include some teeth whitening tips. 2)Eat Less Of These Teeth Stainers There are certain foods that can stain your teeth.They can cause your teeth looking less white.They include; Coffee Palm oil Tobacco Red wine Soda like Coke or Pepsi These food above can leave an indelible stain on the teeth.Should you give up coffee or palm oil from you diet?..No,but you can rinse your mouth 20 minutes after consuming the food mentioned above.Avoid brushing,since this can make you force the acids from the food right inside your enamel. 3)Brush At Least Twice Daily and Floss Regularly Dentists advice you should brush at least twice daily,and floss immediately after meals.It is also advised to calm the aggression while doing so,in order to protect the gum,and also prevent the erosion of the enamel.So,mediate the aggression to prevent harm to the teeth or gum.Floss is cheap and can be gotten from pharmacies across Nigeria for as low as N500. 4)Consider Whitening Toothpaste Earlier in the article,I criticized whitening toothpastes a little for overblowing the results of using their products.But nonetheless,there are some really good ones.Products like Colgate Advance whitening,Colgate Optic White,Sensodyne Extra whitening,are good options to consider.Whitening toothpastes are still the most used form of whitening.This is because they are cheaper and readily available.So,shop for the ones you feel would help,or consider the options i laid out earlier. 5)Try Activated Charcoal Activated Charcoal is a known particle binder.It is highly absorbent and can easily remove stain from any surface.It is safe and highly effective.It is also cheap and readily available.Make a paste with about half tablespoon,apply on teeth surface and allow to stay for 5 minutes,and then rinse away.It is advised not to brush with it,since it is very abrasive and can erode the enamel. 6)Banana or Orange Peels Though no study have proven this,but banana or orange peels contain many vitamins and minerals that can whiten your teeth just by simple rubbing on the teeth surface.Rub the peels on your teeth and wait for 10 minutes,then rinse away. 7)Mix Baking Soda With Hydrogen Peroxide The good thing about this method is that it is very affordable and won’t cost more than N500,you can also do it at home.Baking soda fights bacteria,and a mixture with hydrogen peroxide provides an oxidizing property which helps in stain removal.Mix 2 tablespoon of baking sod,with 1 tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide to make a paste.Brush with the mixture for 2-3 minutes,and rinse. Stop Smoking This can’t be stressed enough.Smoking is harmful to overall health.The tar and nicotine found in tobacco,contributes majorly to the yellowing of the teeth.So my healthy friend,drop that stick you are about to light up and reconsider for a better living. Hope you are having a great week.Any questions?…Leave a comment Helpful? Remember you have friends and family that need to know about it,so share it to them. https://pillowhealthng./2017/12/14/8-best-ways-to-whiten-your-teeth/ 1 Like |
Health / Is Health Really That Important by ucheofficial: 9:27pm On Dec 11, 2017 |
Is Health Really More Important Than Wealth?….Some Disagree Posted by CITYHEALTHBLOGGER on DECEMBER 11, 2017 EDIT In today’s world,health and wealth are essential.Your health is required to run the daily marathons of life,so is your tracksuit,your wealth.A healthy life is required to strive for a healthy future,whereas a wealthy life is needed to maintain a stable productivity and a healthy life. This topic is not one to hotly discussed considering the popular saying that “Health is Wealth”.Now let’s get it clear. Health is very important,everyone needs to be healthy,you,your mom,your dad,your child,your lover,your co-worker.You need to be healthy to run the marathon of life in a decent pace. Wealth, on the other hand,gets you in the marathon in the first place.In a world that runs on money,you need a decent amount of wealth to stay in the race. This has been up for debate,and i asked a considerable amount of people,which,is more important.Surprisingly,it’s not the result you are expecting.A whooping 48% still believe money is more important than health.With 50% believing otherwise and 2% think both are equally important. Their comments and views are below SALLY,28,from Ikeja:”Health is more important”…if you have all the money in the world and you are not healthy,what’s the point?..how will you enjoy the money..so personally i would take health over wealth anyday. GBENGA 23 from Ikotun:”It depends”…Without money,you can’t buy good health and also without health,you can’t make money.So i think money is on the same level of importance. EMEKA ,35,From Oshodi:”Money anytime” who health help?..with money you can buy health anywhere in the world.You can fly abroad to treat yourself for any disease..so for me na money oh! OSAS,30,from Akoka:“I will take money”…I will take money.The situation in this country pushes you to make this kind of choice,but i believe being rich can solve any health related issue. ADEOLA,21 from Lekki:”Money”…Money because if health is really more important,then why is the most of world population after money and find it hard to keep themselves healthy.So personally,i will take money. VIVIAN,25,Ajao Estate:“What are people saying”….Health is definitely more important.Wait what happens when all the treatment plan fails,has the money not being wasted?.I believe when there’s health there’s hope…i think health is more important. NELSON,40,Magodo:Money.. i think…i don’t have reason but money is more important SEGUN,29,from Yaba:“I will take health”…A man or woman can be immensely rich.He can have the whole world but if he has a terminal disease like cancer,or any long term disease, his wealth becomes useless.He will not be able to enjoy it IKE,24, from Surulere:”Health is priceless”…You can’t enjoy life and function properly with a serious or terminal disease . I’m not saying money is not important but it’s not worth neglecting health over it. IBRAHIM ,19,Unilag:None of the above..money is as important as health.Would you rather be rich with cancer or poor,without good food and water.So make your choice SIMI,25,Ajah:why is this even a debate?…Health is wealth. That’s it,we’ve heard from well meaning Nigerians and all gave their views on the matter.You might ask,you,what’s your own view.Well i value health more than anything in the world,which is why i run this blog,to make Nigeria and Africa more health conscious for a better tomorrow. Do you agree with them? or you think they are being irrational..Tell them by placing your comments below. https://pillowhealthng./2017/12/11/is-health-really-more-important-than-wealth-some-disagree/?preview=true |

Health / 6 Happy Reasons Why Crying Is Good For You by ucheofficial: 9:02pm On Nov 15, 2017 |
Pillowhealthng 6 HAPPY REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD CRY Posted by CITYHEALTHBLOGGER on NOVEMBER 15, 2017 EDIT Crying,we’ve all had a good one.Whether it is from from that hot slap you received from your mum or dad,the day you saw that break up text,the day you lost someone dearly or thae day you saw that sad movie (Titanic?).Following the stream of salty river sliding down your cheeks,making your eyes salty and puffy,are benefits which does not reach our vulnerable psyche. ☆Do you know that: ■Humans are the only animals that cry due to emotional reasons ■We produce 10 ounces of tears a day and 30 gallons per year. Tears can be basal,reflex,or psychic.Emotional tears are known to calm the iris.It is contagious,ie it can be transferred to the other. So let’s get emotional,sit and read the benefits of crying. 1)IT DETOXIFIES Crying does not only clean mentally.Tears clears debris such as smoke and dust from eyes.Crying continually help lubricate the eyes and protect them from infection.Emotional tears combats stress hormones and other toxins . Researchers have theories which suggest that crying eliminates these out your system.This is as seen also in urination and sweating. 2)RESTORES EMOTIONAL BALANCE Researchers at Yale university,believe that crying may help maintain emotional equilibrium.When you cry,either from being happy,or sad.It may be your body’s way to recovery from experiencing such a strong emotions. 3)KILLS BACTERIA A good cry can be an effective way to kill bacteria.Tears contain “Lysozyme” which breaks down the walls of the bacteria.It can also be found in semen,mucus.Lysozyme can kill 90-95% of bacteria in just 5-10 minutes. 4)CALLS FOR SUPPORT Have you noticed that any time you cry,someone is always there for you . Crying is a way to let people around you know that you need support.Since you were a baby,crying has always been an attachment behaviour.It helps to get comfort,care and social support from others when things are rough. 5)HELPS BABIES BREATH If you are a mother,you would know that a baby’s first cry is very important.If you are not,at least you know now.A baby must breathe on his own at delivery.The first cry helps the baby’s lungs to adapt to life in outside world.It also helps to clear extra fluid from baby’s lungs,nose and mouth. 6)IMPROVES MOOD Do you remember how a little relaxed you were after that your last cry . That’s what crying does,it relaxes you.According to a 2008 study from University of South Florida found that crying can be self-Soothing and elevate mood better than any antidepressant. So we’ve seen it . I’m not advising you pinch yourself till you cry yourself a river.But remember that whenever you cry,you are getting benefits people with anxiety and mood disorders can’t get. ♡Hope you are having a great week… Please try to comment,like or share Click for other must see articles https://pillowhealthng./2017/11/15/6-happy-reasons-why-you-should-cry/?preview=true |
Health / Why You Might Have Diarrhoea Soon After Eating These by ucheofficial: 11:39pm On Nov 13, 2017 |
Hello,this is your soon to be favourite health blogger..I bring an insight to you today about diarrhoea..Read and learn more.Click the link if you want to..Thanks Well let’s be frank,you are not having diarrhoea today..or tomorrow,i just don’t want you to have in the future,which is why i wrote this article specifically for you. Now let’s talk about diarrhoea.You’ve had diarrhoea,i have once,we’ ve all had diarrhoea, but what’s its cause. Diarrhoea is a very common condition with many possible causes.Some causes might be food,infections,medications and symptoms of other diseases. In this article dedicated to you,we will discuss some foods that cause diarrhoea,how to know if diarrhoea is food induced,treatment therapies and when to see your doctor.Here are the foods that may contribute to your diarrhoea. 1)SUGAR AND ARTIFICIAL SWEETNERS Foods high in sugar can cause diarrhoea.As you consume food high in sugar,it enables water to enter intestine leading to loose stool. For example,fructose found in fruits(Apple, Mango).The body can only digest a certain amount of fructose,any amount more than the level the body can digest may lead to diarrhoea. According to Dr Norton Greenberger,a gastroenterologist and a Havard medical school professor,75% of people who ingest more than 40-50g of fructose per day will get diarrhoea. Also,sweetners such as sorbitol,mannitol,xylitol found in gums and carbonated drinks can cause diarrhoea if consumed in large amounts . Therefore,endeavour to check the ingredients of any food labelled sugar free. 2)CAFFEINE Life is a box of chocolates they said.But know that chocolate contains caffeine.Caffeine is a stimulant,and triggers the rate at which food moves through the intestine.Other foods high in caffeine are ■Coffee ■Soda ■Tea (some) 3)HIGH FAT AND SPICY FOOD Spicy foods such as hot peppers,are very a common cause of diarrhoea.Foods high in fat also tend to cause diarrhoea because they are difficult for the body to process. 4)LACTOSE Found in milk,yoghurt,cheese.People who are lactose intolerant(Cannot process lactose) may experience diarrhea when they consume diary products in large quantities.This is because the body can only process lactose one at a time.Lactose intolerance are known to be common amongst Blacks,Mexicans,Asians 5)FERMENTABLE CARBOHYDRATES Foods like onions,garlic,beans are difficult for some people to digest and may cause diarrhoea . Following a food low ont he above category is difficult and advice may be seek. 6)SPOILED OR AGED FOOD Food that have stayed long in refrigerator or undercooked may be contaminated with bacteria.Eating such food causes gastric infection which can lead to diarrhoea. NOTE:To tell if your diarrhoea is food related,remember the following; ■Diarrhoea is unlikely to be related to food if there’s blood or stool in pus. ■Is accompanied by fever ■Occurs at high rate ♡Have a great week Credit:Medical news today Leave your comments below. https://pillowhealthng./2017/11/13/you-might-be-having-diarrhoea-today-or-tomorrow-heres-why/ |
Health / Why You Are Falling Sick Too Much by ucheofficial: 6:52pm On Nov 10, 2017 |
What's worse,waking with a sore throat,a fever,a stuffy nose,or an ulcerated mouth.Well,all are equally bad and none can be picked over the other.But the worst of all is falling sick.This happens especially when you know fully well that you are taking good care of yourself.You sanitise regularly,you sleep 8-10 hours per day,youbeat healthy.You might be getting confused on why that sore throat or cold keep coming.But the good news is that it's not just bad diet or staying up late that depresses yoir immune system. For example,many people don't realise that their emotions play a major role in their physical health.In a big city such as Lagos,the rate of stress is high,and this,in turn,affects the mental health of the population.To help keep you from doing things that makes you sick,i compiled a list of surprising habits that make you sick (No! checking on bobrisky is not there) 1)YOU ARE WORKING TOO MUCH This is very common in Lagos.Many of us,come home late in the night,overcoming traffic, traffic agents and annoying bus drivers.But, that doesn't stop there,the children,additional working,church meetings.All these doesn't leave enough time to eat right,stay active or give the body and mind time to rest. 2)YOU ARE STRESSED Our immune system depletes when we are stressed.As stress level increase,our body releases a hormone called cortisol which help the body in stressful situations.But this doesn't last,as immune system is weakened.This can be controlled by getting enough rest and generally, sleep.Also by taking frequent breaks. 3)TOO MUCH ALCOHOL Alcohol have been known to have zero nutritional value.It lowers your white blood cells(WBCs)..WBCs fight diseases.It also dehydrates you and prevent absorption of important nutrients. 4)YOUR TV,CELL PHONES,TABLETS Okay,we are all guilty of this,me also.When we are with our cell phones,especially at night.The light from it induces our brain to stay awake (it thinks it's the day).Studies show that production of hormone Melatonin reduces.This causes lack of sleep and eye problems. 5)YOUR MAKEUP KIT Beware ladies,there are several stories of how women has gotten infections from using dirty makeup materials.In particular,dirty eye makeup kits is known to make you susceptible to pink eye,staph infections, and other infections.Use clean brushes on your face,and take note when the makeup expires. 6)YOU ARE NOT TAKING ENOUGH WATER Everybody need water,your doctor needs water,your pharmacist needs water, your flower needs water.What makes you think you don't need water . dehydration can dry out skin,dizziness.It interferes with normal digestion and egestion.It can also cause constipation or urination problems. 7)SMOKING At this point of our lives,we should know that smoking is horrible and not good for us . Smoking can cause respiratory disorders and deplete the immune system.For so many reasons avoid Cigarettes and marijuana. Now you have seen the several habits that can cause you to be sick.This is necessary to stop these habits and take a step towards living longer.For more information about your health or any question bothering your beautiful mind.Post your comments below and be answered.

Health / Treat Bleeding At Home by ucheofficial: 9:45am On Nov 07, 2017 |
Injuries are unavoidable.From knife cuts,to stepping on a piece of glass,at some point in our lives whether at home,or at work,we are unfortunate to encounter injuries. Injuries that result to bleeding are very common, but minor bleeding from scrapes and cuts need to be stopped. Most times,minor injuries can be treated at home.This,therefore, requires the person treating the injury to keep his hands clean or wear sterilised latex gloves if possible,to prevent infection of injuries. Here are the 5 ways to stop bleeding at home. APPLY PRESSURE Though painful,applying pressure to the wound is one of the best way to stop bleeding. Just place a clean and dry piece of material such as bandage,towel, or cloth on the wound and apply pressure with both hands. Try and maintain a firm and continuous pressure until bleeding stops. RAISE AFFECTED AREA Increase in blood flow results in increased bleeding. Therefore reducing the flow of blood,would help stop the bleeding.For instance,if the injury is on the hand or arm,just raise it above your head or arm.If it is at lower limb,lie down and raise affected area to the level of the heart. ICE A cold atmosphere constricts the blood vessels(makes them narrower).This,in turn,allows blood clot more quickly and stops bleeding. So simple,wrap ice in a clean,dry cloth and place on wound . Don’t use bare hands, since the body temperature would melt the ice. TEA Tea contains tannins,which is known scientifically as a hemostatic ie causes blood to clot.Hence, stopping bleeding. Steep a teabag,place in fridge to cool,apply to wound until bleeding stops. In addition,tannins is also a kind of antiseptic that kill bacteria and help injury site stay free of infections PETROLEUM JELLY Surprise?…Yes! Petroleum jelly, found in most Vaseline products,contains waxes used to protect the skin from excessive bleeding. WARNING!!! The above remedies are applied only for minor cuts and scrapes.If the injury is too serious or open,it would be a good advice to consult a health professional. Don’t use the above remedies for very open wound.It might cause infections,irritation or allergies. Thanks!! Be healthy..Be happy Post by The city health blogger 1 Like |
