6 Reasons Why People Die Young

Dying in a young age is not what everyone wish for himself or herself but this isn’t about wish it’s about choice, there are thousands of reasons why people die young but we are giving you 5 reason that need to be given attention to by government and NGOs. 1. Drugs and Alcohol 15% of the deaths of aged group were induced by drugs or alcohol. Abusing drugs and alcohol may be a rite of passage into adulthood, but it is risky. In addition to the chance of an overdose, it also greatly increases risky sexual behavior and the odds of contracting HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. Preventing drug and alcohol abuse is the focus of many programs, both aimed at encouraging parents to discuss these issues with their kids and peers to influence each other. 2. Stress Stress is the parent to so many diseases like hypertension, stroke, etc. 3. Depression Youths and adults die everyday by being depressed on a situation or another, it either leads to breakdown of the body or suicide. 4. Bad lifestyle (Diet) So this may lead to early death in children 5. Smartphones This is common and strange, I will explain bit by bit on how mobile phones is a reason why people die young Cancer Cancer deaths account for 5% of deaths among the 15 to 24 age group. Unfortunately, there is no proven way to prevent cancer, and this percentage includes many childhood cancers that are not preventable. Heart Disease 3% of people who die when they are 15 to 24 die of heart disease. Exercise and a healthy diet can help to prevent and reverse heart disease, however, many young people who die of heart disease were born with it. 6. Smoking Smokers are liable to die young, they suffer from different kinds of respiratory diseases. Smoking is more dangerous that the HIV virus, when a person gets addicted to smoking

Read 5 Reasons Why We Kiss

Have you ever wondered why we kiss? Whether we use it for an informal greeting or for a romantic gesture, kissing is an ingrained human behavior that seems to defy explanation. For many people, “it’s just something we do”, however Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, helps to reveal 5 reasons we kiss. It Maintains Attachment Especially when it is done as a romantic gesture, kissing is associated with more satisfaction in a relationship. It increases the levels of oxytocin (the love hormone and one of the major bonding chemicals in the body) in both partners, and the release of this hormone helps to promote bonding between the two. It Feels Good Our lips and tongues are packed with nerve endings that helps intensify the ‘dizzying’ sensations of love and attraction when we kiss. This is why it feels so good. The saliva swapped during kisses also contains testosterones which are mainly transferred by the men into the women. To Express Love and Affection Kissing is one of the many ways to express love and affection. It mainly expresses in a deep connection, your love or affection for the other person. In the process, it also plays a significant role in helping to relieve stress and show respect and admiration especially when it’s a kiss on the forehead or cheek. To Communicate Kisses communicate a variety of messages more profoundly and deeply than communication with words. A kiss can convey tenderness, respect, enthusiasm, passion and admiration. A kiss on the cheek for example, communicates respect and admiration. A kiss on the forehead is more nurturing and is mainly used to communicate tenderness and protection. To Promote Intimacy One of the ways to promote intimacy in a relationship is to kiss. Kissing of any form is more or less a request to enter into the personal space of another. Once the request is granted, it helps to cement intimacy and a sense of togetherness between the parties involved. This is one of the reasons you should be careful with who you let kiss you (be it on the lips, cheeks, forehead or any other part of your body) because overtime feelings will begin to develop.

5 Reasons Some Smart People Never Make It In Life (READ AND LEARN)

Toheeb is one of the smartest guys in the class back then in school. Since we graduated 2 years ago, he has been doing quite well in his career, but when he checks Instagram, he sees guys he outperformed in school who are making more money and achieving greater things than him.

Likewise, there some of his colleagues at his work place who are doing better than him. All these makes him wonder with no choice than to ask himself, “What Am I Doing Wrong”? You can relate right? You might relate to Toheeb yourself, or have a colleague or friend who struggles with the same feelings. The truth is, raw intelligence is undoubtedly a huge asset , but it is not everything. And sometimes, when intellectually gifted people don’t achieve as much as they would like to, it’s because they are indirectly under-rating themselves. If you’re in this situation, the good news is that when you understand these things that are hindering your success as an intelligent person, you can turn them around. Below Are five Things Smart People Particularly Struggle With That Is Preventing Them From Making It In Life:- 1. Smart People Don’t Value Other Skills, Like Relationship Building, And Over-concentrate On Intellect Very smart people sometimes are always over confident of their success in life because of their intellect, so they don’t see other soft skills as important. For instance, some smart people don’t always feel the need to go out clubbing or chill out, they prefer to stay indoor working or watching educative programmes forgetting that going out chilling relaxes the brain and also increases your chances of meeting people who will offer you bigger contracts. They grow up being told they’re smart, and during their schooling, academic success comes more easily to them than to others. It’s easy to understand why, as a result, they would continue to focus on their intellect as adults and other things like building strong relationships with people becomes meaningless to them. In life, you need more than raw intelligence to get ahead. And only focusing on your greatest strength, rather than also addressing your weaknesses, tends to be self-destructive. The Solution: Use your strengths to overcome your weaknesses. If you’re good at learning you can simply learn the skills that don’t come as naturally to you. Learn how to talk to people, relate with others and developing positive attitude. For instance, identify three specific workplace diplomacy behaviours that would improve your success in that area. You can be smart buy your attitude makes you smarter! 2. Teamwork Can Be Frustrating For Very Smart People Smart people grasps idea quickly and has high standards for their own performances. This makes it difficult for them when working with others who process information and grab ideas slowly. This frustration develop early in smart kids they feel other slow learners are holding them back and as a result, they have problem with team work. Some students will put it upon themselves to handle group assignments involving 10 people by themselves all because they feel they can do it all better. Smart people also sometimes find it difficult to delegate because of a sense they can do a task better (regardless of whether this is actually true.) This is especially likely for those who have a perfectionist streak. If you understand the concept of associative thinking you will know that no idea is entirely bad no matter how useless they appear. You can’t be smart in everything, some people know more than you in some situations. The Solution: Be self-compassionate about your internal reactions and understand where they come from, but also learn to genuinely appreciate what people of different minds bring to a team. 3. Smart People Often Attach A Lot Of Their Self- esteem To Being Smart, Which Can Decrease Their Hustling Spirit If a lot of your self-esteem rests on your intelligence, it can be very difficult to be in situations that threatens your smartness. Smart people always avoid taking risk that will put them situation of getting criticized and as such they are always contented the little success they are getting. Any situation that triggers feeling not- smart is experienced as highly threatening. The smart person may even seek to avoid those situations, which ultimately holds the person back. For instance, I have a secondary school mate who is a naturally gifted singer but won’t go into music because he feels the chance of making it in music in Nigeria is a low. That’s fear of failure. The Solution: Take an objective view of the benefits of working with people who are, in some respects, smarter than you. If you’re surrounding yourself with smart people, you’re doing something right. Remember, iron sharpens iron. Develop relationships with people who you trust to give you helpful constructive feedback. The more you become accustomed to receiving criticisms as feedbacks from people who believe in your overall talents and capacities, the easier it will become. 4. Smart People Get Bored Easily If you’re smart, curious, and have a love of learning , you might find yourself loosing interest quickly in anything once you’ve learnt it. This is why some people, after learning graphics design instead of focusing on it so that can be cashing out steady, they move to learning web- designs and after some months of getting bored with codes, they want to start learning video editing again. The everyday execution side of one thing might bore you, and you’d rather constantly be learning new different things. As a result, finding a niche and repeating the same formula might seem too boring or unchallenging to you as a smart person. The Solution: Instead of attempting dramatic change, decide on something related to what you’re currently into, learn it and be using it to break the boredom. For instance, if you’re a graphics designer, you can learn photography so that when you get bored designing, you can go out to take some beautiful photos, then come back to design. Additionally, make sure you’re learning across the various domains of your life, including your work, hobbies, physical fitness, understanding yourself and so on. 5. Smart People Sometimes See In-depth Thinking As The Solution To Every Problem Intelligent people are used to succeeding through their thinking skills, but in most cases overlook when a different approach would be more beneficial. For example, the smart person might attack every situation by trying to think it to death, over- researching every decision and ruminating over every mistake when other approaches geared towards coming up with solutions would be more fruitful. The Solution: Notice when you’re thinking too much. Consider when strategies other than thinking are more likely to result in success. Experiment with taking breaks to get unstuck, and allow yourself to learn by doing something instead of exhaustive advance research. Expand your range of skills for getting solutions so that you’re not the person who sees every problem as a nail because their only tool is a hammer. If you can relate to any of the points above, do not judge yourself or feel shameful about it, know that you can turn them around by the tactical and practical solutions we have highlighted. Which Of The 5 Points Can You Relate With The Most? Feel free to share as we will be replying all comments to help you further.

Six ways to have whiter, shiny teeth

Swap out your toothbrush Having whiter teeth could be as easy as throwing out your old toothbrush. It is advisable to replace your toothbrush every three months, or as soon as you see the majority of the bristles begin to bend and look worn down. After the bristles are worn down, your toothbrush isn’t cleaning your teeth properly. Brush your tongue Brushing your tongue isn’t only about having fresh breath. It can also help to prevent staining. Your tongue accumulates bacteria, which can eventually lead to discolouration. Use a soft toothbrush and long strokes starting at the very back of the tongue, rinsing your brush after each stroke. This will help remove the bacteria on the brush without re-depositing it on your tongue. Rinse with apple cider vinegar While it isn’t as effective as other, more mainstream whitening treatments, it is a natural and organic way to maintain healthy teeth. Pop some teaspoonfuls of apple cider vinegar into a glass of water and swish the solution around your mouth for one minute, then pour out. Eat raw fruits and vegetables Eating fruits, vegetables, and other crunchy foods is good for your body and your teeth. Eating nuts, raw carrots, apples, and cauliflower can help keep your teeth clean by removing surface stains and plaque that leads to cavities. Use gel trays instead of strips Experts are divided on the effectiveness of whitening strips. Some say strips should be avoided because they don’t distribute the whitening paste evenly. Teeth are usually darkest near the gum line, where the strips can’t reach. So, it is recommended you use whitening gel trays. Rinse your mouth with water after eating oranges Although they’re a good go-to for vitamin C, citrus fruits, such as lemons and limes, contain acid that erodes tooth enamel. This can make teeth stain more easily. The fix? Make sure to rinse your mouth out with water immediately after eating these fruits to wash the destructive acid off your teeth.

How to treat galactorrhea

How to treat galactorrhea For galactorrhea there are several ways to treat it depending on the cause. For example, if galactorrhea was caused nipple stimulation during sexual activities, the patient would have to reduce breast stimulation. If it was caused by a medication, then your doctor would have to supervise and change that medication or prescribe one that would help regulate hormones. According to Kevin Audlin a doctor at the Institute for Gynecologic Care at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, it would take months for the lactation to stop even after the cause has been detection and worked on. However, if the cause is a tumor or issues with the pituitary gland, it’s possible that the patient would need surgery and doctors would likely do more tests to be sure.

Why untreated rheumatism arthritis can lead to death and what to do about it

Rheumatoid Arthritis is a serious illness This post is a reaction to the many times I have heard “At least it’s nothing serious.” Well, some things about Rheumatoid Arthritis are downright serious. So, I want to place a warning to my readers that today I am utterly serious. For once, I have found something that is not a joking matter at all. A few months ago, I read an old interview with Mrs. Daniels about her mother who had RA. The author said that she had “died of Rheumatoid Arthritis.” Mrs. Daniels mom is not the first, of course. My own grandfather’s life was cut short and RA apparently was part of that. To write faster, I will shorten Rheumatoid Arthritis to AR Let’s look at a few RA facts: http://bit.ly/RAsolutions You do not need to read the all links to understand my point, but even though it was tedious, I wanted to provide them for anyone who may need to begin a particular search. And they prove my point, too. Rheumatoid Arthritis can attack the spine. When the C-1 vertebra is affected, pressure on the spinal cord can lead to paralysis or death. Inside of the larynx are the Cricoarytenoid joints (the vocal cord joints) which bring the characteristic hoarseness of RA. Both the swelling and the nodules can interfere with ability to breathe. Sometimes, a tracheotomy is required. Here is a discussion of this. Rheumatoid Arthritis of the pericardium (heart lining) interferes with heart function. There are also nodules and inflammation of the muscle itself. RA can attack the lungs in a similar way to the heart, inflaming the lining, or causing nodules. The pleurisy and the scarring both can be life threatening. Rheumatoid Arthritis patients sometimes die from infections because the treatments suppress the immune system. Heart attack and heart disease risk is much higher. And much less recognized. RA causes inflammation and blockages of arteries. Rheumatoid Arthritis is associated with a shortened lifespan. Some reasons, like constant inflammation, are obvious. Others are not yet known. Studies show that the mortality gap is not improved by treatments. More widely known is the greater risk of cancer for RA patients. Some attribute this to the treatments used, but this is uncertain. There are dozens of other lesser known complications of Rheumatoid Arthritis which can contribute to early death including involvement of blood vessels, nerves, and other vital organs.

Some of these problems are rarer than others, especially with mild disease. Some of them are fairly low in incidence when measured separately. However, taken together, there is reason for concern. Risk increases with the severity of the disease; RA patients with a severe form of Rheumatoid Arthritis are more likely to see one of these in their future. http://bit.ly/RAsolutions Maybe we do not talk about this because we do not want to dwell on fearful things. Maybe it is because we are too busy with learning to walk on knee replacements or trying to get our insurance to pay for the shots. No one can assure you what will happen with RA since disease progression varies, possibly due to genetics. But the goal of treating RA is the same for everyone: to interfere with the disease process. Slow progression, delay disability, and extend life. You Can Get The Solution Here =) http://bit.ly/RAsolutions Share With Your Friends And Family

Real REASONS your brain gambles with your emotions

The following are just a few of the psychological limitation the human brain undergoes: 1. The brain loves shortcut game Most often when we plan to do some things, the first thought that comes to the brain is the easiest way to get it done. I mean the plain lazy way to do it fast! Using mental shortcut makes us get things done faster and achieve faster result but often most this mental shortcut called heuristics pushes us into making more mistakes than we ought to when we feel like solving a mechanical equal with its right formulae would be longer, so you decided to use a shorter formulae that might not give a full explanation to the answer you got, what you brain is using at the moment is called availability heuristic. You are fooled into believing that using the wrong formulae would still give you the right answer. 2. Conceal prejudice influence our thinking Our mind is easily susceptible to various unnecessary thoughts which prevent us from thinking in the right manner and all this lead to the making of errors, distortion. One great example of this is confirmation bias. Just imagine if you have a friend who doesn’t believe in marriage, she gives you various reasons that discredit what you have about marriage confirmation bias causes us to place a greater emphasis or even seek out things that confirm what we already believe, but to ignore or discount anything that opposes our already existing ideas. Imagine how this bias affects people daily. 3. The brain plays the mind game When something bad happens, it is only natural that we look for an underlying cause to blame. The problem is that we often place the blame on the wrong person, event, or object and frequently distort reality in order to protect our own self-esteem. Imagine I had a test some few days ago, the lecturer dictated about ten question that needed to be answered, I was so furious that I started blaming myself for not reading broadly, that’s is a normal thing for the brain to do. At the end of the day, I passed greatly in the test and I felt awesome that is called self-serving bias but what about if it is a classmate who failed a test, the first thing you think of is, "didn’t he read his book or was he just plain stupid? ” That’s called fundamental attribution error. 4. Your memory is not as great as you think While we often believe that our memory works as fast as possible lie video camera, preserving events exactly as they occurred, the reality is that our memory is much more fragile, inaccurate, and susceptible to influence than we would like to believe. For example, experts have found that it is surprisingly easy to induce false memories of events that did not really occur. In one study, researchers found watching a video of other people performing an action actually led participants to believe that they had performed the task themselves. Your memory might be good, but it is worth remembering that it is not perfect and certainly not always dependable. It is just like saying one’s memory is as great as you will remember everything you have ever read! It doesn’t work that way. 5. The brain plays trick on us Your brain is capable of remarkable things, from remembering a conversation you had with a dear friend to solving complex mathematical problems, or remembering the lyrics of a song someone out there was just humming into your ear few minutes ago, but as you’ve seen, it certainly isn’t perfect. So what can you do? There’s no way to avoid all of these potential problems, but being aware of some of the biases, perceptual shortcomings, and memory tricks. For instance, student falls into this category mostly. You have a test and you prepared so well only for you to get to the hall and you remember not as much as you needed and immediately you left the test hall you start remembering everything you ought to have remembered in the hall. That’s one of what shows that the brain isn’t as perfect as we sees it but of course it is perfect to some extent. Having known all this, it should be easier for us to learn to handle the difference in how our brain tackles some things.

Read tips for healthy life

1. Avoid fried eggplant
It soaks up oil quickly, like a sponge—more than
any other vegetable, even more than French fries.
Try grilling, broiling, baking, steaming, or braising
it instead of frying.
2. Follow these guidelines for cooking eggs
You need not cook eggs to the hard and rubbery
stage. Boiling an egg in its shell at 140° for 3H
minutes should kill virtually all bacteria.

Scrambled eggs and omelets are fine if cooked
just past the runny, moist stage (they should be
set, but don’t have to be rock hard). If you’re
frying eggs, “over easy” is best: fry them for
about 3 minutes on one side, then about 1 minute
on the other.
3. Eat sweet potatoes
Despite their sweet taste, they have about the
same number of calories per ounce as white
potatoes.
A 3 ounce baked sweet potato contains three
times the recommended daily amount of beta
carotene, half theRDA for vitamin C, and just 100
calories.
Avoid the typical package of ground poultry,
which usually contains skin and too much fat.
Look for ground turkey breast; it should be
labeled 96 to 98% fatfree (by weight).
4. Try veggie burgers

They’re served in many restaurants, and you’ll
find them in frozen, refrigerated, or mix form in
the grocery store. Veggie burgers may be
primarily soy and/or may contain any
combination of mushrooms, onions, peppers, rice,
oats, barley, bulgur (cracked wheat), rye, gluten
(wheat protein), beans, spices, and egg whites.
In a restaurant, ask the waiter what’s in the
veggie burger and how it’s cooked. Some veggie
burgers are almost fatfree, but some are high in
fat, especially if nuts or cheese are major
ingredients.
5. Eat beans and other legumes
Beans, lentils, and dried peas are all good
sources of soluble fiber, which, if consumed
regularly, may help lower blood cholesterol levels.
6. Cook with fresh herbs
They contain powerful antioxidant compounds,
according to a USDA analysis. Herbs that scored
highest by far were oregano and marjoram—just a
tablespoon or two of the chopped herbs would
supply significant amounts of antioxidants.
Fresh herbs are more potent (in flavor and
antioxidant power) than their dried counterparts,
and culinary herbs in general have more
antioxidant potential than medicinal ones, such
as ginkgo.
7. To boost your calcium, eat sardines
When eaten with their small edible bones, three
small fish (one ounce each) supply 370
milligrams of calcium, more than a cup of milk.
Canned salmon, also eaten with its bones,
supplies nearly as much calcium.
8. Drink tea
It contains enough fluoride to help prevent tooth
decay, and is also rich in substances called
polyphenols, which act as antioxidants and thus
may help protect against cancer.
Tea drinking may also help strengthen bones.
Besides the fluoride, flavonoids and other
compounds in tea may be good for bones. Some
people still worry that tea could weaken bones
because of its caffeine, but several studies have
now shown this is not the case.
