4 Simple Tips to Keep Your Sunglasses in Good Condition and Last Long

The usefulness of sunglasses can never be overemphasized. It is a form of protective eye-wear designed primarily to prevent bright sunlight and high-energy visible light from damaging or discomforting the eyes. They can sometimes also function as a visual aid, as variously termed spectacles or glasses exist, featuring lenses that are colored, polarized or darkened.  

When you find a pair of sunglasses that look great and feel wonderful, you can become very attached to them. The trouble is, most sunglasses are a big part of an active and sometimes outdoor lifestyle, so they can often be susceptible to wear & tear.

Taking proper care of your sunglasses is an easily achievable task if you know what you are doing.

Here are some tips to help you hold on to your sunnies and keep them in good condition.

1. Take Time to Clean Them Properly

To clean lenses, it’s best to use a gentle lens solution. To avoid scratches, never wipe the lens when they're dry (there may be dust or particles) and don't use paper towels or other rough materials. Be extra careful when cleaning prescription sunglasses, as the lenses can be more delicate than non-prescription lenses.

Unclean Navel (Belly Button) Can Turn Off Your Partner; Five Steps To Clean Your Navel

Many people like me cannot remember the last time they cleaned their belly button.

The belly button (a scar tissue left over from the umbilical cord that joined you to your mother's placenta) is among the hardest parts of the body to clean. The reason is not far-fetched the belly button is quite deep and the muck sticks to the soft skin, it becomes almost impossible for a person to clean this area.

From the hygiene point of view, your navel should be cleaned just like all the other parts of the body; otherwise, the area can develop unpleasant smells and infections, often paired with red, itchy, and scabby skin.

I have heard some people say smelly button belly turn them off when romancing or making love with their partners.

7 Positive Ways to Overcome Your Fear of Death

In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes, as Benjamin Franklin famously wrote.

Personally, my anxiety peaks when I’m in a situation in which I might exert some control over the outcome. When it comes to death, this is impossible. The end is inevitable. There’s an infinite variety of ways in which one might depart, but ultimately, it’s beyond preparation. This is why death doesn’t scare me quite as much as it used to.

Wikipedia defines “Death” as the termination of all biological functions that sustain an organism. Phenomena which commonly bring about death include biological aging (senescence), predation, malnutrition, disease, suicide, homicide, starvation, dehydration, and accidents or trauma resulting in terminal injury.

Fear of death also known as thanatophobia (complex phobia that involves an extreme fear of death) is common among humans. People having this phobia are specifically afraid of the process of death, of dying or being dead.

Human beings are totally powerless to prevent or overcome death. Our mightiest efforts to defend ourselves from the grave ultimately end in failure. Everyone dies.

The following strategies will help you overcome the fear of death and help you enjoy life more:

Focus on Living Well
There are so many simple things that you can do to live a healthier and more positive life. In fact, sometimes the smallest steps, applied consistently, lead to the biggest changes. Make a commitment to walk every day, rain or shine. Explore your passions. Write a “bucket list” with all of the amazing things that you want to do before you die. If you are busy living, you won’t have time to worry about dying.

With the intention of giving hope to others with similar conditions, first woman Malin Stenberg who had womb transplant and delivered a baby boy tells of her 'total happiness' after her son's birth and how she wants her story to give hope to others.

At the age of 15, Malin Stenberg was told she had been born without a womb so would never carry a child of her own.

About three years ago, Miss Stenberg was given a womb by a family friend, as part of a pioneering transplant programme at Gothenburg University, in Sweden, and 20 months ago, she made history by giving birth to a son named Vincent.

She revealed has now spoken about the magic of being a mother to her son Vincent

‘Total happiness comes from having a family and it doesn’t matter if it is through a womb transplant, or adoption or something else. It is magical.’

Does Masturbation Really Cause Blindness, Insanity, Acne, Hair Growth or Affect Your Sperm Count?

This write-up does not in any way advocate for masturbation or try to justify why people do it but rather it is written to clear the medical misconceptions or myths about it.

Masturbation involves sexually arousing yourself by touching your genitals. Both men and women can masturbate, and you can masturbate yourself or someone else.

 It is often called wanking, jerking off, rubbing one out, twirling the pearl, onanism, self-loving, going solo, spanking the monkey, fapping, self-servicing.

Masturbation is arguably one of the most commonly practised sexual activities on the planet and there are so many myths associated with this art.

According to the National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior, 80 percent of males have masturbated by age 17, as opposed to 58 percent of females — and those who do are more likely to have sex and use condoms.

7 Essential Tips to Prevent Hair Loss

The hair on your body has some special jobs. It helps protect you and keep you warm. Your eyelashes keep dirt and dust out of your eyes. Your eyebrows also protect your eyes, and stop sweat from running into them.

Most people lose anywhere from 50 to 100 strands of hair each day, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.

Hair may be dead, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't care for it. You should wash it regularly. Actually, what you really need to be sure to wash is your scalp. The best way to get your hair and scalp clean is to:

    1.      Get it really wet.

    2.      Use a small amount of shampoo. A squirt about the size of a quarter is enough.

    3.      Massage the shampoo into your scalp. Don't scrub the scalp too hard.

   4.      Rinse really well, until you don't see any more bubbles or suds on your head or going down the drain.

    5.      Gently dry your hair with a towel.

    6.      Comb it out carefully with a wide-tooth comb, especially if it's curly. Don't yank or tug on it, because that can break the hair or pull it out.

    7.      Let your hair air dry whenever you can. Hair dryers can be tough on hair.

5 Most Surprising Cosmetic Surgery Trends Across The Globe

Cosmetic surgery is a unique discipline of medicine focused on enhancing appearance through surgical and medical techniques. Cosmetic surgery can be performed on all areas of the head, neck and body. Because treated areas function properly but lack aesthetic appeal, cosmetic surgery is elective.

Cosmetic surgery tourism is on the rise, following the introduction of cheap, low-risk procedures in countries like Thailand, India and Dubai.

South Korea is the worldwide leader in cosmetic surgery, with one in five women going under the knife.

But what kind of operations are these people having?  

Writing for The Conversation, plastic surgeon Jim Frame reveals the five most surprising.

Cosmetic procedures are now the surgery of want not need. 

The multi-billion dollar industry is represented on virtually all television channels and easily accessed online.

Many nations have realized the potential for cosmetic tourism, which can be a significant import to a country’s GDP.

Cosmetic medicine and surgery has advanced tremendously over the past three decades since I trained as a plastic surgeon.

Nurse Pulls Out Wriggling SPIDER from a Swimmer Suffering from Earache

A 42 year old woman named Victoria Price who has been experiencing pains in her ear after going swimming in the sea was horrified when a nurse pulled a live spider out of her ear days later.

Victoria Price

Victoria Price, 42, had just returned home from a quick dip in the sea when she began suffering horrendous earache.

The mother, from Porthcawl, Wales, according to dailymail thought she might have an infection or perforated it - but it turned out to be something far more terrifying. After a visit to accident and emergency, a nurse discovered a 'chunky'spider had crawled into her ear.

She pulled out the 'live, wriggly' creature, remarking that it was 'twice as big as it first looked'.

'I got out of the shower [when I got home] and the pain in my ear was just incredible,' said Mrs Price.

'I was Irish dancing around the bathroom. I didn't know what to do with myself.

'I assumed I had trapped water or I'd perforated an eardrum or something.

'The first thing I did was reach for cotton wool, because you think if it's water that will absorb it.

13 Most Common Early Signs and Symptoms of Cancer

Cancer is among the most common causes of death in adult males. While a healthy diet can decrease the risk of developing certain cancer, other factors like genes can play a larger role.

According to WHO, cancer accounts for 13 percent of all deaths registered globally and 70 percent of that figure occurs in middle and low income countries.

Once cancer spreads, it can be difficult to treat. Spotting cancer early is important as it means treatment is more likely to be successful.

In Nigeria, about 10,000 cancer deaths are recorded annually while 250,000 new cases are recorded yearly. It is also worrisome that only 17 percent of African countries are said to have sufficiently funded cancer control programmes, while less than half of all countries in the world have functional plans to prevent the disease and provide treatment and care to patients.

Before we delve into some of the early signs and symptoms of cancer, most people more often than not find it difficult to differentiate between “sign and symptom”.

A sign is a signal that can be seen by someone else – maybe a loved one, or a doctor, nurse, or other health care professional. For example, fever, fast breathing, and abnormal lung sounds heard through a stethoscope may be signs of pneumonia.

A symptom is a signal that’s felt or noticed by the person who has it, but may not be easily seen by anyone else. For example, weakness, aching, and feeling short of breath may be symptoms of pneumonia.
