This is the age of eating ‘green’, as everybody has been told that in order to save the environment and elongate our lives in sound health we must go green and eat more natural stuffs. Great talk! But the problem here is that in recent times, the market has been saturated with all sorts of beverages and foods that are more likely to harm the body than benefit it. At bus stops, in commercial buses and in upscale supermarkets, these goods are there, complete with sales persons who offer unsolicited counseling, never mind that the majority of them (if any) has no background in diet and nutrition; they just parrot what their employers teach them to say. The presence of these products in the Nigerian market is of utmost concern, especially because people are being deceived that they are eating healthy when, in fact, they are not. Here are what to watch… Drinks There are many ‘health’ drinks out there with absolutely nothing on the containers to inform consumers that these are the ingredie...

The Mothers might get all the attentions for child birth. But a recent study led by McGill researcher Sarah Kimmins suggests that the father's diet before conception may play an equally important role in the health of their offspring. It also raises concerns about the long-term effects of current Western diets and of food insecurity. The research focused on vitamin B9, also called folate, which is found in a range of green leafy vegetables, cereals, fruit and meats. It is well known that in order to prevent miscarriages and birth defects mothers need to get adequate amounts of folate in their diet. But the way that a father's diet can influence the health and development of their offspring has received almost no attention. Now research from the Kimmins group shows for the first time that the father's folate levels may be just as important to the development and health of their offspring as are those of the mother. Indeed, the study suggests that fathers should pay as much a...

For women, it is almost a must to wear panties. While some go for loose panties, a large number go for tight-fitting ones just to give a s^x appeal!

Thirdhand smoke is generally considered to be residual nicotine and other chemicals left on a variety of indoor surfaces by tobacco smoke. This residue is thought to react with common indoor pollutants to create a toxic mix. This toxic mix of thirdhand smoke contains cancer-causing substances, posing a potential health hazard to nonsmokers who are exposed to it, especially children. Studies show that thirdhand smoke clings to hair, skin, clothes, furniture, drapes, walls, bedding, carpets, dust, vehicles and other surfaces, even long after smoking has stopped. Infants, children and nonsmoking adults may be at risk of tobacco-related health problems when they inhale, ingest or touch substances containing thirdhand smoke. Thirdhand smoke is a relatively new concept, and researchers are still studying its possible dangers. Thirdhand smoke residue builds up on surfaces over time and resists normal cleaning. Thirdhand smoke can’t be eliminated by airing out rooms, opening windows, using ...

While delaying marriage has advantages — a lower divorce rate, higher income for women and fewer and less intense arguments between spouses — studies show there also may be benefits to tying the knot before age 30. However, there is such a thing as marrying too young. Research shows that marriages beginning when a woman is 18 are twice as likely to end in divorce as those beginning when she is 22. Below are five reasons to get married in your 20s. 1. It couid make you happier : The highest percentage of people ages 20 to 28 who consider themselves “highly satisfied” with their lives are married, as opposed to single or cohabiting. What’s more, the largest number of women who described their marriage as “very happy” tied the knot when they were 24 to 26. A 2010 study found that “the greatest indicated likelihood of being in an intact marriage of the highest quality is among those who married at ages 22–25.” 2.

Love is perhaps our most powerful emotion, and the need to be in a loving relationship may be one of the strongest needs we have. Being in an intimate relationship makes us feel connected, not only to our partner, but also to the world at large. When our hearts are filled with love, we feel profoundly content and satisfied. We become more patient, more empathetic, kinder, gentler. But personal intimacy doesn’t merely affect our emotional well-being. According to numerous scientific studies, the power of love directly affects our physical health, too, by boosting our immune system, improving our cardiovascular functioning, and increasing our life expectancy. “Love and intimacy are at the root of what makes us sick and what makes us well,” says Dean Ornish, M.D., who explores the connections between love and health in his book Love & Survival (HarperCollins). “When you look at the scientific data, the need for love and intimacy is as important and basic as eating, breathing, an...

Br**sts! Men notice, admire, imagine and long for. Sometimes women reveal very little, and they muse on what they can’t see. Yet amid obsessing over what guys’re dying to see and touch, we know very little about br**sts as women themselves perceive them. So in order to find some amazing truth, some female s*x experts were consulted and more than 700 women were surveyed. Everything you need to know is here, and it’s stamped official because it comes from chest owners. 1. Women Don’t Think Men Are Total Pigs About This: Three-quarters of the women interviewed think men’s fascination with br**sts are harmless. Seventy percent assume most guys are b00b men. “I love it when men look at my br**sts,” says Rachel, 23. “It makes me feel powerful, and there’s something carnal about it.” amazing, this is neither a ticket to leer nor an invitation to make crass comments, even in jest. “There’s really no excuse for not being courteous or maintaining eye contact with women,” says Debby Herbenick,...

A healthy brain requires plenty of restful sleep, not only to support proper memory retention but also for physical maintenance and detoxification purposes. And new research funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health further reinforces these latter points, having found that getting a good night’s rest is absolutely vital for brain cells to fully relax, allowing special fluid to rush in the brain and literally flush out material toxins during the night. It is a whole new area of brain research that scientists from the Center for Translational Neuromedicine at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York are pioneering, but it has the potential to revolutionize how the medical community views degenerative brain conditions like Alzheimer’s disease. If simple rest is really the missing ingredient for many people currently suffering the early stages of dementia, then the cure is pretty straight forward. According to a recent announcement by the National Institute of Neurolog...

For long, it has been said that carrots are good for sharper vision but now it has emerged that they are also good for boosting the quality of your sperm. Researchers investigating the effect of fruit and vegetables on the health of sperm discovered that carrots had the best result. More so, a new study on the recipe for super sperm found many yellow and orange-coloured fruit and vegetables capable of making the sperm stronger. They had the greatest effect on ‘motility’, a term used to describe the ability of sperm to swim towards an egg. The sperm-boosting qualities can be attributed to pigments called carotenoids, which give such foods their familiar colour. The body converts these carotenoids into health-boosting antioxidants. Antioxidants help to neutralise free radicals, destructive groups of atoms that are a by-product of metabolism and can damage cell membranes and DNA. According to a report in the journal, Fertility and Saterility, sweet potato and melon can enhance the quantit...
