9 QUICK RELIEF FROM A MOSQUITO BITE - ITCHING, MALARIA

1. Epsom Salt 
If you're covered in bites after a day in the woods, taking a bath with Epsom salts can give you quick relief. It reduces swelling around the bites, which stops itching because it keeps your body from producing the histamine that triggers the itch. 




2. Witch hazel
Witch hazel is an astringent that's extracted from the bark of the witch hazel plant. Petly explains that applying it directly to bites will soothe the inflamed skin, kill bacteria, and tighten the tissue, helping the bites heal more quickly

3. Bathing in oatmeal instead. The grains have been clinically proven to soothe inflamed skin, so it will take the sting and itch out of annoying bites.

4. Apple Cider + White Vinegar
Many people swear by their trusty bottle of vinegar for dozens of home remedies, including bug bites. Vinegar might cause irritation when you first apply it, but it's an antibacterial and an antihistamine, so it should take away the itch and help bites to heal after that initial sting. 
5.  Plantain Leaf
Plantain is a common backyard weed that actually has a host of hidden healing powers, including the ability reduce pain and swelling on the skin. To use it for bug bites, crush the fresh leaves with your fingers and rub them on the bites. 
6. Onion
Rubbing onions on your bites may burn at first, especially if the wound is open, but Petly says it could be beneficial long-term. "Onion is high in quercetin, an anti-inflammatory compound that can help the histimine outbreak," he explains. The downside, of course: you're going to smell like onions. 
7. Mud
Mud isn't the most practical method for finding itch relief in most situations. However, if you're out hiking in the woods and getting eaten alive, you might want to consider it. Mud will cool the bites and reduce swelling, and it may even protect you from getting more bites.
8. Honey could theoretically help to heal bug bites because it's an antibacterial, but it's not exactly practical. You wouldn't want to use it outside because there's a chance the sweet stuff would attract more insects to you. Even if you only used it indoors, it would still be highly uncomfortable, especially if you had a lot of bites and slathered it all over your body. You'd be leaving a sticky trail everywhere you went, and you'd quickly be coated in an outer layer of dust, lint, and pet hair. We'll stick to the lavender oil.
9. Banana Peel
You may have read that rubbing a banana peel on mosquito bites will give you instant relief. Petly thinks there's a chance it could work by inducing a cooling sensation, but it's not something he'd necessarily recommend to a patient when there are many options that are more effective. That said, if you're out on a hike and the only thing you've got is the banana peel from your lunch, you may as well give it a shot.

Why You Should Not Throw Away Eggshells

You probably follow the same breakfast preparation-routine every day: crack an egg open to whisk it for an omelet or peel a hard-boiled egg, then toss the eggshells away.
Eggs are a highly nutritious food packed with protein, calcium and minerals that millions of people around the world consume every day. But who has ever thought about the value of eggshells?

Why should they, considering it’s just a flimsy outer covering of a food item that doesn’t look like it could be very useful after it breaks into smithereens?
No one can blame you, because the benefits of eggshells are extremely understated and hardly talked about.

Here are some great ways to make use of those eggshells instead of throwing them away.

1. Make a Homemade Calcium Supplement

Ninety-seven percent of the content of the eggshells we so callously discard is calcium carbonate, according to a 2005 study published in the Brazilian Journal of Poultry Science.
Many health practitioners recommend using eggshells to prepare a calcium supplement for strengthening bones and preventing bone-associated disorders.
In addition, it is an inexpensive alternative to purchasing supplements from the drug store.
The powder extracted from eggshells contains a rich supply of natural calcium and other elements like fluorine and strontium that strengthen human cartilage and bones, and prevent and treat osteoporosis, according to a 2003 study published in The International Journal of Clinical Pharmacology Research.
Eggshell calcium also successfully reduced bone deterioration and pain, and promoted bone density and movement in patients with age-associated osteoporosis marked by calcium deficiency and bone loss, the study further notes.
Eggshell calcium may even reduce and provide relief from the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome.
Follow these steps to make a homemade calcium supplement using eggshells:
  1. Boil the shells from 12 eggs on high heat. Make sure you separate the broken eggshell pieces from each other as you put them in the pot in order to prevent them from clumping together. Boiling the shells will thoroughly cleanse them of bacteria and other unwanted substances.
  2. Push the shells down into the water with a spoon as they boil to ensure they are completely submerged in the water.
  3. After 5 to 6 minutes, you should notice that foam builds up at the top of your pot. After the foam settles, keep boiling the shells for another 3 minutes.
  4. Remove the pot from the heat, strain the water out and set your eggshells aside.
  5. Lay them out on a baking tray and pop them into the oven at 200 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes to dry them out completely. Alternatively, you can dry them in a microwave for a few minutes.
  6. Crush the eggshells with your hands and then grind them in a coffee grinder or food processor for a couple of minutes.
Viola! Your calcium supplement is now ready.
Consume 1 teaspoon of eggshell calcium supplement daily. You can chug it down with water or mix it in with half a glass of water or fresh fruit juice and drink it.
Taking more than a teaspoon per day may irritate some people’s stomachs.
Note: Make sure you use the shells from organic, pastured chicken eggs (preferably farm fresh eggs).

2. Make Remineralizing Toothpaste

The shiny, tough substance covering the outside of your teeth is called the enamel. It is composed of minerals and protects your teeth from weakness and decay.
When you gorge on sugary and caffeinated beverages or junk foods too often, the bacteria in your mouth react with the carbohydrates and sugar to generate acid, which gradually wears off the enamel and all the essential minerals with it.
A solution made of chicken eggshell powder was successful in remineralizing the enamel of people who had suffered teeth lesions, according to a 2015 study published in the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research.
Since your teeth are essentially made up of calcium, toothpaste made from eggshells helps strengthen your teeth and refurbish it with minerals. Overtime, it sufficiently remineralizes your teeth.
Follow these steps to make your own remineralizing toothpaste with eggshells:
  1. Boil, dry and grind the shells from 12 eggs as described in the steps for making a calcium supplement.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the eggshell powder, 1 tablespoon of baking soda, 1 to 3 tablespoons of coconut oil (as much as you need to get a smooth consistency) and 10 drops of peppermint essential oil (optional).
  3. Store it in a small jar and use it every morning as you would regular toothpaste to brush your teeth.

3. Fertilize Your Plants

If you are gardener, you’ve probably used agricultural lime to condition and nourish your soil. A highly beneficial additive that decreases soil acidity, agricultural lime boasts calcium carbonate as its main component.
Eggshells are 97 percent calcium carbonate and contain traces of other minerals, such as phosphorous, magnesium, sodium and potassium.
Considering the fact that you probably use eggs every day and that they are dirt-cheap compared to fertilizers, using eggshells in the garden should be a no-brainer.
Not only will eggshells nourish your plants with calcium and other minerals, they will prevent them from rotting, too.
  1. Boil and dry the shells from 12 eggs as described previously to thoroughly clean them. Twelve eggshells should be enough to fertilize the soil around 2 to 4 plants.
  2. Grind them in a coffee grinder or food processor to powder them. Alternatively, for gardening purposes, you can just put them in a plastic bag and crush them vigorously with your hands to powder them.
  3. Sprinkle the eggshell powder all over the soil around your plants.
  4. Use a rake to mix it into the soil. You can also wear gloves and mix it in with your hands.
  5. Water the area to help the eggshells seep into the soil and begin delivering nutrients to your plants.
Tomatoes, eggplants and peppers often rot due to calcium deficiency. This eggshell fertilizer will definitely help with that problem.
Adding this fertilizer to the holes usually found in potted plants and yet-to-grow seedlings also gives them the nutritional boost they need to grow healthy.
You can also sprinkle crushed eggshells (not powdered) around your plants as a thick, close barrier to deter slugs and other insects. The jagged edges of the crushed shells will irritate the skin of the insects and keep them at bay.

10 Health Benefits of Cayenne & Rodo Pepper

Fiercely hot and pungent cayenne pepper is one of the most popular spicy ingredients. Belonging to the Capsicum genus, the hotness of cayenne on the Scoville scale is 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville heat units.
It is used in whole and powdered form in different cuisines, particularly in south-western American and Mexican cuisine.
It has been a part of Native American cuisine and medicine for thousands of years. Plus, it’s widely used in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicines.

The active compound capsaicin is what brings the heat to the table. In fact, many of the health benefits of cayenne pepper are also attributed to the capsaicin.
It also contains vitamins C, A, B6 and E, potassium, manganese, copper, iron and several flavonoids, which provide its powerful antioxidant properties.
Capsaicin is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in over-the-counter products and can be found in creams and ointments.
Regular intake of a very small amount of cayenne pepper is also beneficial for your health in many ways.


Here are the top 10 health benefits of cayenne pepper.

1. Relieves Joint and Muscle Pain

The compound capsaicin in cayenne pepper exhibits an anti-inflammatory effect that helps reduce pain and inflammation.
It also prevents the activation of the brain’s pain transmitters, which in turn reduces the feeling of pain. Be it achy joints or tender muscles, cayenne pepper is highly effective.
Over-the-counter creams or ointments containing between 0.025 and 0.075 percent purified capsaicin is recommended by health experts to relieve pain and tenderness from osteoarthritis, joint pain due to arthritis, nerve pain from shingles, pain after surgery, leg pain from diabetic neuropathy and even back pain.
A 2011 study published in the British Journal of Anesthesia notes that topical application of capsaicin cream is effective for pain management.
Also, a 2010 study published in Phytotherapy Research shed light on the effectiveness and safety of topical capsaicin cream in the treatment of chronic soft tissue pain.
Using cayenne pepper, you can make a homemade pain-relieving ointment.
  1. Mix ½ teaspoon of ground cayenne pepper with 2 to 3 teaspoons of warm olive or coconut oil.
  2. Apply it on the painful joints and muscles.
  3. Leave it on for 20 minutes, then rinse it off.
  4. Repeat once daily until the pain is gone.
Note: Never use cayenne pepper on broken or irritated skin.

2. Prevents Blood Clots

Capsaicin in cayenne pepper works as a powerful antioxidant and helps dilate blood vessels to ensure proper blood flow throughout the body and organs.
It even encourages fibrinolytic activity and prevents factors that lead to the formation of blood clots.
With proper blood circulation, the risk of developing blood clots and several heart problems is reduced.
Capsaicin also helps reduce triglycerides and low-density lipoproteins (LDL or ‘bad’ cholesterol), two of the major risk factors for heart disease. It even helps lower blood pressure and get rid of blockages in arteries and veins.
  1. Mix ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper powder in 1 cup of warm water.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons each of of raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon of raw honey, and mix thoroughly.
  3. Drink this mixture twice daily.

Plus, being a great metabolic-booster, cayenne pepper helps the body burn excess fat more quickly.
Also, it aids in digestion and absorption of nutrients, which are essential for maintaining a healthy body weight.
A 2009 study published in Clinical Nutrition notes that capsaicin as well as green tea suppressed hunger and increased satiety more during negative than positive energy balance.
Another 2009 study published in the same journal reports that treatment with 6 mg/d capsinoids orally safely promoted loss of abdominal fat.
A 2011 study published in Physiology & Behavior also highlights the positive effects of hedonically acceptable red pepper doses on appetite.
Add ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper to your breakfast juice or smoothie to suppress appetite and burn calories.

4. Supports Detoxification

In addition to weight loss, cayenne pepper also supports detoxification, which in turn protects your body from diseases and promotes optimum health. Detoxification assists the liver and gallbladder to get rid of harmful toxins in the body.
As cayenne is a circulatory stimulant, it raises the temperature of the body and kick-starts your metabolism to streamline the natural detoxification process. Plus, it activates the sweat glands, another important factor in detoxification.
  1. Mix the juice of 1 lemon, ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper powder and raw honey (as per your taste) in a glass of warm water.
  2. Drink it on an empty stomach daily for a period of 1 week.
  3. Repeat again after a month.

5. Heals Sore Throat

  • Alternatively, add ½ teaspoon of cayenne power to 1 tablespoon of raw honey and eat it a few times daily.
Note: These remedies are not recommended for small children.

Whether you are suffering from a tension, migraine or cluster headache, you can reduce the pain with cayenne pepper.
Capsaicin offers pain-relief abilities and healing powers. It is very effective for migraine pain. Capsaicin reduces the platelet aggregation factor, which is often responsible for the onset of migraine headaches by constricting blood circulation in your head.
You can also get relief from a cluster headache with capsaicin-based gels or ointments.
A 1993 double-blind placebo-controlled trial published in Cephalalgia suggested that topical application of capsaicin cream is effective for treatment of cluster headaches.
Capsaicin desensitizes sensory neurons by depleting the nerve terminals of substance P., a neuropeptide associated with inflammatory processes and pain.

8. Fights Common Cold

mucus buildup
Cayenne pepper also works as an anti-cold and flu agent and provides quick relief from common cold and flu symptoms, particularly congestion.

A 1993 study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology states that topical application of capsaicin effectively treats pruritic psoriasis.
In this double-blind study, 197 patients applied 0.025 percent capsaicin cream four times a day for six weeks and the result was very satisfactory.
Apply capsaicin-based cream or lotion on the affected area a few times a day. It usually takes 3 to 7 days before you start noticing improvement in your skin condition.
Note: Do not apply it onthe sensitive areas near the eyes and mucous membranes and always wash your hands thoroughly after using capsaicin.

It’s called Garcinia Kola and it could just be the weight loss breakthrough we’ve been waiting for.

Liver Damage: Super Liver Cleansing Foods

liver3Avocado—Exciting research published in the medical journal Hepatobiliary Surgery and Nutrition found that a group of compounds found in many fruits and vegetables known as carotenoids can help protect and treat non-alcoholic fatty-liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD has been linked with obesity, type 2 diabetes and other serious health conditions.
While avocado contains a small amount of carotenoids, it has been shown in research to boost the absorption of carotenoids 2 to 6 times when eaten alongside rich sources of the nutrients, such as tomatoes, carrots, squash, pumpkins and many other orange and dark green fruits and vegetables. The healthy fat found in avocados also reduces inflammation in the body—a condition that has been linked to cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis and many other serious conditions. Use avocado in place of butter on bread or sandwiches. Add it to wraps, on top of salad or as a creamy salad dressing or dip base.
Beets—These nutritional powerhouses contain a substance known as betaine which is essential to healthy digestion, one of the liver’s many functions. They are powerful liver-cleansers and rebuilders. Enjoy raw grated beets in salads or on sandwiches. Steam or roast beets and use in soups, stews and atop salads.
Dandelion Greens—Perhaps dandelion greens are the most overlooked liver-cleansing foods. They contain numerous bitter compounds that help cleanse the liver and boost its functioning. Choose young dandelion greens as they are more palatable than more mature ones. Also, pick dandelion greens away from high-traffic areas or areas that have been sprayed with chemical pesticides. Steam, saute or juice the greens. I love them sautéed with minced garlic, olive oil and topped with some fresh lemon juice and a dash of sea salt.
Flax Seeds and Flax Seed Oil—Flax binds to hormone receptor sites, preventing excess hormones (including synthetic xenoestrogens—chemicals that mimic estrogen in the body—from plastics and other sources) from floating around your bloodstream. One of the liver’s 500 jobs is to filter excess hormones. Flax seeds and flax seed oil can help improve the liver’s efficiency in this regard. Sprinkle flax seeds on cereal, toast, salads or blended into smoothies. Use flax seed oil as a base for homemade salad dressings, along with some lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.
Lemons—The compound limonene found in lemon can boost your body’s production of glutathione, a critical nutrient in liver detoxification that helps ensure toxins are neutralized before they can damage the body’s cells. Add fresh lemon to your water, atop salads, over vegetables or to soups. Keep in mind that the limonene is primarily found in lemon peels, so buy organic lemons and grate a small amount of the rind and add to your salad dressings, soups and baked goods.
Turmeric—This super spice is potent medicine for the liver. It is the highest known source of beta carotene, which helps protect the liver from free radical damage. In the medical journal Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, researchers found that curcumin, a naturally-present compound found in turmeric, could protect the liver against alcohol-induced injury. Curcumin is also a potent anti-inflammatory.
When it comes to boosting liver health, food truly is the best medicine.

10 Health Benefits of Mangos

Popularly know for it delicious taste, mango is one of the seasonal fruit that comes with a well packaged vital nutrients which are of great importance to the body. it has a good number of health benefits ranging from boost immune system, protect the liver, reduce cancer risk and so on.

 The mango fruit is common among Nigerian and it is cultivated mostly  by locals, aside the fact that it is planted and grown for it fruit, it also used for other purpose, such as the leaves and barks of the tree is used by traditional as herbal medicine, it acts a wind vane in the environment.

When buying mangoes in the market its advisable to option for organic ones that locally grown because they are more nutritious not only that it is more rich in nutrients, it is more healthy compared to the ones that chemicals are added to in order to make it ripe. not only mango fruit why purchasing any fruits or vegetables always go for the organic ones. 

The fruit can be eaten raw as healthy snack or prepared as fruit juice , which ever of them suits your taste. but for me i will go for the raw one, because except  you should juice it your self, i won't advise you to go for the ones that they sold(canned & packaged) outside, most of them are not 100 percent mango juice.
here are healthy reason why you should eat mango fruit. 

1.  Reduce Cancer Risk ; regular consumption of mango fruit is one of the best way to lower the risk of cancer, the presence of anti-oxidant and methyl gallat  fisetin, in mangoes has shown to help prevent breast cancer, prostrate, leukemia and colon. 

2.  Detoxify the Liver ; including mango in your diet can help you maintain a healthy liver, because the fruit contains antioxidant that help you detoxify the liver from harmful and toxic substances. 

3.  Improve Immune system ; Mango also help to boost the immune system,  high powerful antioxidants and vitamin A & C helps the body fight against radical damages, and enhance the immune system function. 

4. Reduces Cholesterol levels ; the mango fruit contains a lot of fibre, pectin, and potassium content that reduces cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, and also improve the digestive system. 

5. Enhance Brain Function: Like I said earlier on mangoes are rich source of vitamin B6 which helps to improve the nervous system and enhance the brain function, it also contains glutamine which also aid and enhance memory and concentration.  

6. Help Control Weight Gain: Consuming the skin (peels) of mangoes according to various studies conducted, can help put your weight under control as extract found in the skin of mango hinder the growth of fat cell.


7. Promotes Healthy Sex: 
Mangos are a great source of vitamin E. Even though the popular connection between sex drive and vitamin E was originally created by a mistaken generalization on rat studies, further research has shown balanced proper amounts (from whole foods) does help.

8.  May Help with Diabetes: 
Mango leaves help normalize insulin levels in the blood. The traditional home remedy involves boiling leaves in water, soaking through the night and then consuming the filtered decoction in the morning. Mango fruit also has a relatively low glycemic index (41-60) so moderate quantities will not spike your sugar levels.



9. Helps Fight Heat Stroke:
Juicing the fruit from green mango and mixing with water and a sweetener helps to cool down the body and prevent harm from overheating. From an ayurvedic viewpoint, the reason people often get diuretic and exhausted when visiting equatorial climates is because the strong “sun energy” is burning up your body, particularly the muscles. The kidneys then become overloaded with the toxins from this process.
10.  Improves Eye Health: 
One cup of sliced mangoes supplies 25 percent of the needed daily value of vitamin A, which promotes good eyesight and prevents night blindness and dry eyes.

Is Diabetes Killing You? See how to Get Rid Of It Naturally In 30days

If you have diabetes, what I’m about to share with you in this post could prevent you from having a premature heart attack, save your eyesight, kidneys, legs, and nerves—even save your life.

Diabetes has a devastating effect on virtually every system in the body. This is what sets the stage for a variety of diabetic complications. But, as I will explain, this devastation is largely preventable if you consistently do the following:
Avoid High Fat Animal Diet (Such as Red Meat and The Fats in Meats):
There is an enzyme called GnT-4a.This enzyme is responsible for enabling the production of Insulin from the pancreas. When this enzyme is not available, insulin production is altered.
Scientific studies have found that eating high amounts of animal fats like red meats from cows, goats, dogs, lambs etc disrupts the production of this hormone, hence limiting or making the production of Insulin less likely by the pancreas. When Insulin is not produced in this case, blood sugar will be elevated leading to the development of type2 diabetes.
Avoid Consuming Huge Amounts of Refined Carbohydrates:
What are refined carbohydrates? Refined carbohydrates are all foods in packaged food products.
Such as:
All categories of soft drinks
Biscuits, Short breads, white breads, wheat bread, crackers.
All snacks made of flour whether baked, roasted, smoked, or fried.
All foods processed and packaged in cans and bottles Research has found out that by simply eating with “minerals” or soft drinks all the time, there is a 20% chance of developing diabetes in a 5 year period. Yet, I know many people who cannot go a day without taking a bottle of soft drink.

Avoid Smoking:
An online scientific journal from the American Medical association recently disclosed a review of a study conducted which showed that those who smoke has a 44% increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Avoid A Sedentary lifestyle :
For most people, this period is for vacation and relaxation even at that you must not break your regular exercise regimen. A sedentary lifestyle is one that is void of regular exercise. Everybody knows this that lack of exercise leads to weight gain. The truth is that a sedentary lifestyle can be life threatening. A life void of exercises can lead to a very weak heart and eventual heart failure (diseased heart) and this easily results after prolonged physical inactivity. Lack of exercise leads to the following problems; high blood pressure and poor blood sugar regulation which eventually results in diabetes.
After all, the effect of exercise on the body is the same effect that Insulin has on the blood stream
In other words, the work of Insulin is to convert excess sugar in the body to energy thereby lowering blood sugar levels.

The same goes with exercises. Exercising daily helps the heart and body to burn excess sugar and converts them to energy thereby lowering the excess blood sugar levels.
Go The Natural Way:
The natural way is the only ‘true way’. Inside this natural solution, we have harnessed the
power of an all-natural remedy that works well without any side effect.
Consuming this Nature-Endowed food will make your body whole again, the way you were supposed to be. And it works great especially if you’d like to reverse diabetes and keep it away for good.
No, this isn’t some ‘magic pill’. You’re too smart to believe that something like that exists. This is natural, the way God intended.

Brain Food – Best 6 foods to increase brain power


 
A nutritious, balanced diet is essential for growth, a healthy weight and to reduce the risk of developing chronic disease, but it also has important benefits for our mental and cognitive
wellbeing. 


The brain, like all of the body’s vital organs, functions at its optimum if enriched with essential nutrients obtained from a healthy diet. In fact, our cognitive development and performance is easily affected by poor nutrition; in one study, a 12 year-old child who skipped breakfast displayed the reaction times of a 70 year-old just one hour later.
Some foods are renowned for their brain boosting characteristics and these “brain foods” would be great additions to any diet to give your brain the nutritious workout it deserves:

Oily Fish

 
Oily fish, such as trout, mackerel, sardines, kippers and salmon, are rich in Omega-3 essential fatty acids, which are ideal for promoting healthy brain activity. A deficiency in essential fatty acids has been associated with an increased risk of developing conditions such as memory loss and Alzheimer’s disease in later life, while a diet rich in them is believed to promote excellent cognitive ability. If you’re not a fan of oily fish, essential fatty acids can also be found in pumpkin seeds, soya beans, flaxseed oiland walnuts.

Wholegrains

To work efficiently, the brain requires energy, particularly energy that is released slowly from foods instead of through a ‘sugar rush’ that leads to a temporary high followed by an intense comedown. The most effective foods for releasing glucose slowly, which in turn supplies energy to the brain and enables you to concentrate, are wholegrains such as cereals, wholemeal pasta and granary bread.

Vitamin B

Several B vitamins, namely folic acid, B6 and B12, have been proven to reduce levels of homocysteine in the blood which can impair cognitive performance and has been linked to the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. Vitamin B6 is found in a number of foods including poultry, fish, wholegrains and eggs, while shellfish, beef liver, skimmed milk and eggs are plentiful sources of vitamin B12.

Vitamin C

Citrus fruits are particularly high in vitamin C, which has been linked with improvements in cognitive function. Strawberries, blackcurrants, dark leafy green vegetables and tomatoes are also excellent sources of vitamin C, which will also boost your immune system to make you more resilient to illness.

Tomatoes

Eating tomatoes could be a powerful way to prevent damage to your brain cells, thereby helping to maintain your cognitive function and ward off the symptoms of memory loss and dementia. Tomatoes contain the antioxidant lycopene, known for its ability to maintain effective brain function.


 BroccoliBroccoli
Broccoli
As well as being high in vitamin C, broccoli also contains vitamin K, which is proven to increase mental agility and brainpower.
By enjoying a healthy and balanced diet, you can take important steps to giving your brain the best chance of optimising its performance, both immediately and in the long term. With increasing concern about the numbers of people succumbing to degenerative diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer’s, now could be a great time to review your diet, putting the health of your brain first.

New fibroid solution without surgery found. No more worries


If you have been diagnosed of Uterine Fibroids, there is a solution without surgery…. Revealed at last! A Scientifically proven Natural
Solution Found to provide permanent solution for Fibroids. Ensure you read this article to the end even if you don’t have Fibroid, this can serve as a preventive measure and prevent you from growing one. 





Fibroids are the most frequently seen tumors of the female reproductive system. Fibroids, also known as uterine myomasleiomyomas, or fibromas, are firm, compact tumors that are made of smooth muscle cells and fibrous connective tissue that develop in the uterus. It is estimated that between 20 to 50 percent of women of reproductive age have fibroids. Some estimates state that up to 30 to 77 percent of women will develop Fibroids sometime during their childbearing years.
What causes fibroid?

The causes of Fibroids can be traced to the type of lifestyle that we now live. The lifestyle we now live cannot be compared with the natural lifestyles of the people of old. There are so many things that are bringing in a lot of estrogen (hormone influencing the growth of Fibroids) into the body systems now, like plastics, pesticides and even the foods and the processes under which we breed animals for consumption. Most of these things, including fishes, are bred artificially. So they store those hormones that we are imbibing and that is what is causing Fibroid problems.

Who is at risk of fibroid?

Women who are approaching menopause are at the greatest risk of fibroids because of their long exposure to high levels of estrogen. 
According to a statistic report, 1 1n 4 women in Nigeria have Fibroids between the age of 30-50 years.
Symptoms and Complications associated with fibroids
  • Anemia (as a result of heavy periods)
  • Backache
  • Constipation
  • Discomfort in the lower abdomen (especially if fibroids are large)
  • Frequent urination
  • Heavy painful periods
  • Pain in the legs
  • Painful sex
  • Swelling in the lower abdomen (especially if fibroids are large)

Complications associated with fibroids
·         Menorrhagia (heavy periods/increased bleeding)– Fibroids may cause the menstrual bleeding to be heavier, or increase in the duration of bleeding or may cause bleeding in between periods. Some women may have a combination of bleeding symptoms. The presence and degree of uterine bleeding is determined mainly by the location of the fibroid. Women with Fibroids that protrude into the uterus are more likely to have significant increase in bleeding.
  • Infertility and Repeated Miscarriages – Fibroids can cause infertility in a number of different ways. A Fibroid can cause compression on the fallopian tubes resulting in a blockage of the passage of sperm or eggs.
  •  Fibroid can also distort the pelvic anatomy sufficiently to make it difficult for the fallopian tube to capture an egg at the time of ovulation. If a fibroid extends into the uterine cavity or causes distortion of the uterine cavity, it may present a mechanical barrier to implantation. 
  • Studies suggests that Fibroids in the muscle portion of the uterus can cause an alteration or reduction of blood flow to the uterine lining making it more difficult for an implanted embryo to grow and develop. Studies also suggests that even small Fibroids that grow inside of the uterine cavity may act as a foreign body and result in an inflammatory reaction that makes the uterine environment hostile for an embryo to implant, making it difficult for the woman to get pregnant.
    In summary, Fibroids can affect fertility in many ways. They can affect whether sperm and egg meet, they can affect whether an embryo can implant, they can affect whether a pregnancy can continue, and they can affect the growth and positioning of the baby.
  • Pregnancy complications – Studies have suggested an increased risk of certain problems during pregnancy in women with Fibroids, including difficulties with labor, breech presentation of the fetus, premature rupture of the “bag of waters”, and abruptionof the placenta (a condition in which the placenta separates from the uterine wall during the pregnancy).
  • Abdominal pains–Fibroids can cause swelling and discomfort in the lower abdomen. A Fibroid patient may also have a sensation of being constipated. Fibroids can also cause pain in bowel movements.
Have you been diagnosed with Fibroids and looking for a natural, safe and easy way to permanently remove it and prevent its recurrent growth without surgical operation?Our 100% Natural Fibroid Remover Pack will help you eliminate all types of Fibroids and its complications in the shortest possible time.
