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.

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.

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.

Five Ways to Combat the Negative Health Effects of Too Much Sitting


If you've only had back pain for a few days or weeks, the following advice may help relieve your symptoms and speed up your recovery:
1.      Take 5-10 minute breaks every half hour throughout the day. This can also aid weight loss, since standing burns almost twice as many calories as sitting.
2.    Office Ergonomics: Proper office ergonomics — including correct chair height, adequate equipment spacing and good desk posture — can help you and your joints stay comfortable at work.
Make sure your monitor is directly in front of you, at least 20 inches away; keep your mouse close to your keyboard; keep your hands, wrists and forearms straight and as parallel to the floor as possible; make sure your shoulders are relaxed, and your upper arms hang down in a natural way.

Wrong (L) and Right (R) sitting positions   Image Credit: hightechfinland.fi
The human body is composed of organs that are part of different body systems that allow the human body to work. The design of the body will be explored as well as the different tissues that combine to make the different organs such as the heart and lungs.
But when we don't take proper care of it, parts of that organs can slip up and break down with devastating results.
Someone once said “It hurts the most when I sit. The longer I sit the more it hurts. It also hurts when I stand in one spot too long too”
Many people who trade their time for money especially in offices spend more than half their waking hours working operating a computer, sitting in traffic and watching TV.
Researches have shown that sitting for long periods of time significantly boosts the risk of early death, heart disease, diabetes and cancer — even if you exercise regularly.

Muhammad Ali’s Cause Of Shocking & Tragic Death Revealed

Boxing legend Muhammad Ali died of septic shock after spending five days at an Arizona hospital. The 74-year-old had been suffering from a respiratory illness, a condition that was complicated by Parkinson's disease.  
Muhammed Ali 1942-2016
Septic shock is what happens as a complication of an infection where toxins can initiate a full-body inflammatory response. It often occurs in people who are elderly or have a weakened immune system.
It is thought that the inflammation resulting from sepsis causes tiny blood clots to form, which can block oxygen and nutrients from reaching vital organs. As a result, the organs fail, causing a profound septic shock. This may cause a drop in blood pressure and may result in death. In fact, septic shock is the most common cause of death in intensive care units in the United States.
One of Ali's daughters, Hana Ali, recalled his final moments with family by his side, hugging and kissing him and holding his hands as they chanted Islamic prayers.
"We all tried to stay strong and whispered in his ear, 'You can go now. We will be okay,'" Hana Ali wrote on Twitter.

Even after many of his organs failed, his heart kept beating for 30 minutes, she wrote.

The details came as Ali's family revealed plans for a Friday funeral in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, a daylong affair that will include a procession through the streets where the 74-year-old world champion grew up and learned to box. His body is expected to be returned to the city within two days.

Guinea Declared Free Of Active Ebola Transmission – WHO


World Health Organisation on Wednesday has declared Guinea free of active Ebola virus transmission.
The proclamation was made because the person with Guinea's last confirmed case tested negative for the second time more than 42 days ago.

Guinea will now enter a 90-day period of heightened surveillance to make sure of the identification of any new cases before they spread to others.

In the most recent outbreak, seven confirmed and three possible cases of the virus surfaced between March 17 and April 6. At least five people died.
           
However, WHO spokesman Christian Lindmeier said on Tuesday that the organisation was confident that affected countries were prepared and could deal with flare-ups efficiently.

Guinea is believed to be where the world's worst Ebola outbreak occurred, spanning three countries primarily and killing 11,310 people. It first declared itself free of transmission in December.



Infected blood: Maharashtra Ranks 3rd In HIV Cases by Transfusion

Blood Bags
A new statistic released by National Aids Control Organisation (NACO), about 276 people in Maharashtra were infected with HIV while getting a blood transfusion over the last one and half years, ranking the state at a worrisome third position.
2,234 people across the country got transfused with HIV-infected blood in the same period, raising serious concerns about blood safety.
Uttar Pradesh recorded the maximum number of transfusion transmitted HIV cases at 361followed by Gujarat at 292 cases. Delhi grabbed the fourth position with 264 cases.
Maharashtra has recorded more than 1,239 such cases over the last six years. While activists are alarmed with the findings, NACO insisted that the data is not a real indicator as it is based on voluntary disclosure by clients at the integrated counseling and testing centres (ICTC).
A senior NACO official told Time of India "The numbers are self-reported. It's not corroborated further by following up with blood tests. The overall situation is actually much better now. In 1999, transfusion transmitted HIV was 15%, which has now come down to less than 1%." The official added that the issue of safe blood can be best addressed with an Act that most developed nations have.

Niger State Government flags off Rehabilitation of Primary Healthcare Centre


Health care delivery is the fundamental responsibility of any government. Health care system in Nigeria is divided into three categories: Primary, Secondary and Tertiary.

The Tertiary health institutions are operated by the federal government involving teaching hospitals and federal medical centers in the country, the Secondary takes care of state hospitals referred to as general hospitals run by state governments while the last tier which is the primary is operated by the local governments. Primary health care system has a wider coverage and is operated mostly in rural communities. It aims at improving the health status of patients at the grass roots through diagnosis and treatment of common diseases as well as other services as counseling and referrals. Other areas it covers includes health education, disease prevention and screening. In a nutshell a primary health care center or facility is a small unit which provides a family with the health services other than those which can only be provided in a hospital. Primary health care covers, the primary health care center, the primary health care clinic and the primary health care post.

In line with the Federal Government’s policy of rehabilitating over 10,000 PHCs in the country within the next two years, the Niger State Government has flagged-off the rehabilitation exercise with the commissioning of its pilot project.

Why Do You Snore and Five Simple Steps to Stop Snoring

Snoring is the vibration of respiratory structures and the resulting sound due to obstructed air movement during breathing while sleeping. Or simply put, snoring happens when you can't move air freely through your nose and throat during sleep. In some cases, the sound may be soft, but in most cases, it can be loud and unpleasant. Snoring during sleep may be a sign, or first alarm, of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) according to wikipedia.
Image credit: asonorscom.wordpress
To stop snoring, it’s necessary to first identify exactly how and why you’re snoring. The good news is that no matter the cause, there are solutions to relieve your snoring and help you and your loved one deal with complaints, resentments, and other relationship issues caused by your snoring.
The causes of snoring can be attributed to;
Nasal and sinus problems: Blocked airways or a stuffy nose make inhalation difficult and create a vacuum in the throat, leading to snoring.
Being overweight: Over eating and/or lack of exercise leads to an increase in fat around the throat. If you have a collar size of 16½" or greater, you may not have the muscle tone needed to keep the airway open sufficiently at night to allow normal breathing, and the narrow airway is more likely to vibrate. Someone with a short fat neck is likely to suffer obstruction in the oropharynx during sleep which gives rise to the noise of snoring.  
Other causes are age, the way you’re built, alcohol, smoking, and medications.

1. Drink More Water
Your body is made up of approximately 70 per cent water and although you might think drinking less will make you cut down on bloating, it's completely untrue.
Dr Marilyn, author of Natural Alternatives to Sugar, said: 'Most of us do not drink enough fluids and, ironically, women who suffer from water retention tend to restrict their liquid intake thinking that the less they drink, the less their bodies will retain.  If you restrict fluids your body will try to compensate and retain liquid, just in case it is short supply. That can cause bloating.'

10 Simple Self-care Tips to Keep Your Breasts Healthy and Prevent Sagging

Image Credit: bodyperfect8388.com
I have seen and heard some men mock women with saggy breasts with a statement such as “see as her breasts look like slippers”. The reason is no far-fetched, it may turn men off.  Women’s boobs are one of their most prized possessions. Your breasts may nourish children, help you find a mate, provide sexual pleasure, and form part of your identity.
Breasts can change many times and in many ways over a woman's lifetime, and even within a given month. Getting to know how your breasts normally feel and look is the first step towards promoting good breast health.
It is no doubt that women are concerned about their boobs’ appearance in respect to the reactions from their male counterparts. They crave for ways to make them look better. A lady asked in an online forum site “I’m 20 and my boobs are a all pert, they are quite soft, squishy and they hang quite a bit. I feel they make me far less attractive and really don’t like the thought of a guy seeing them in case he thinks they’re too “saggy” I’m quite slim as well so I don’t think they’re in proportion to my body. So guys: do you find sagging boobs on a woman a turn-off? Even if you love the girl for personality…”
There are many things we can do on a daily basis to love up our breast to keep them healthy.
So here are 10 simple self-care tips to keep your breasts healthy and prevent sagging: 
(i)     Examine your boobs normally: This is probably the most important because if you don’t examine your boobs regularly you won’t recognize the changes. Breast cancer is no longer a post-menopause problem. A regular exam will warn you before things become serious. If you don’t know how to do a self exam, you can ask someone who knows it to demonstrate, or look it up on Youtube

Eight Amazing Types and Shapes of Women’s Breasts

image Credit: brasblog.info
Women's boobs are one of most prized possessions. Only few men would argue that breasts are the most important part of a woman’s body. Your breasts may nourish children, can help you find mate, provide sexual pleasure, and form part of your identity. Getting to know how your breasts normally feel and look is the first step towards promoting good breast health.
Structure wise, breasts, like women's bodies, come in all shapes and sizes. Their tissue is varied, they change as you advance in age, and the left one may not look the same as the right. One breast may grow faster or larger than the other. So many factors can be attributed to how your breasts feel and look. Menstrual cycle, pregnancy, breastfeeding, menopause, nutrition and aging amongst others are factors affecting the size and look of breasts. Some women experience a natural growth and fluid retention during the menstrual cycle that may be painful. With time, breasts tend to sag a bit more, especially after milestone changes in hormones, such as breastfeeding and menopause.

According to brasblog, there are a variety of breast shapes and types. The shapes are classified into 8 categories.  Namely:

A new research finding published in the journal Environmental Health reveals that exposure to high levels of air pollution in pregnancy may increase the risk of having a stillbirth.
Stillbirth is a baby born dead after 20 weeks of pregnancy. If the baby dies before 24 completed weeks, it is called a miscarriage or late fetal loss.
Most stillbirths happen before a woman goes into labour, but a small number happen during labour and birth.
For the study, researchers examined about 225,000 births of single babies in Ohio between 2007 and 2010. More than 19,000 of them were premature deliveries.
