HELPING YOU WITH MENSTRUAL CRAMPS/PAINS.

I know am all about saving lives with this article. Do not come hugging me and express undying love. Okay! If you insist on hugging me, come on! But you better be a girl ......cause am a guy.




Last week, I watched my sister writhing like a snake and though i had fun laughing at her.... I think it got me to realizing how lucky i am as a guy. If we also had menstrual cramps monthly.....

I guess menopause aint all that a bitch. Maybe, you need to start looking forward to getting menopaulised. I would easily trade that(menstrual pain) for testicles... and i hope i don't have to. Having done a bit researching and thanks to my lovely mum, Google and the fairy god mother, these, I came up with, as sure methods that help you through those horrible cramps.

Take a hot bath, or place a heating pad or hot water bottle on your lower belly, just below your belly button. Those stick-on heat packs that you can find on drugstore shelves can work, too, if you don’t have time to sit at home. 

Heat opens vessels and improves blood flow, so pain dissipates. Having a warm soak will do such wonders for you.It will prove such a help and relief.

People who suffer menstrual cramps should also avoid caffeine. Caffeine is known to aggravate your cramps and cause heavier flow. So, best avoid them, as it can constrict blood vessels which worsen the cramps. Also, caffeinated sodas, energy drinks and chocolate do not make it easier.

You can also try taking drugs that will relief the pain. I recommend trying non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for at least three months to see whether they provide relief from cramps.

Options include ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin) and naproxen (Aleve or Midol Extended Relief). These NSAIDs probably are most effective if you start them as soon as you feel any kind of cramping and continue taking them until the time when your cramping normally stops.




Just as you will never believe, exercises are also important for you. Regular aerobic exercise that gets your heart rate up and makes you break out in a sweat. The better shape you’re in and the more physically active you are, the less likely you are to suffer from chronic aches and pains, including menstrual cramps.
Exercise also releases feel-good hormones known as endorphins. They don’t take away your pain, but they can make it so you don’t care you have the pain.

I hope these methods work half for you as they have for my sisters, cause i had them all experimenting to see if it worked.

Like they said, avoid sugary foods and drinks too. Especially, the artificial sugar. It increases the cramps. Ideally, you experience better results if you avoid them a few days from your expectancy date. 

There is never an easy day on your menstrual crampy day but indulge me when i say have a happy menstrual day when it comes.

EXERCISING ERRORS CAN EVEN CAUSE SAGGY BOOBS....Things you should know

I was reading a novel when i saw a line on how wearing loose fitting bra while jogging can make your breasts sag. I was intrigued and checked on it and yes! its true. When you set out to jog, please wear right sized bra to avoid making your boobs sag.




For more tips, these  mistakes you should also avoid as we check out weird exercising errors that can affect us negatively.

 Stretching before your workout puts you at risk for pulled or torn muscles. "Always stretch at the end of your workout," 

Bouncing during a stretch can increase your risk of straining or pulling muscles. Instead, "hold a static stretch with no movement at the joints. Your body should feel lengthened but not to the point of pain."


Many people expect dramatic results from a little exercise. "Current recommendations are for 3 1/2 to four hours of physical activity a week just to prevent weight regain, If you want to lose weight and you're walking 30 minutes, three times a week, without changing your diet, it will take roughly one month to lose a pound.
Want to lose faster? Exercise more.

It is actually better to do your stretches after exercising than before. After loosening up the muscles by working out, its better then to do your stretches than prior.
 Don't come to sudden stop at the end of your workout. If you don't cool down, you risk muscle soreness because you haven't flushed the lactic acid out of your system, It takes five to 10 minutes at a slower pace, depending on your fitness level, to let your heart rate come down. 
Wear the right kind of apparel to exercise. Something that is tight but free. Elastic materials that can stretch are best adviced as they wont tear or hold you back. Ensure also that you can sweat freely.

If you didn’t know much about servicing a car, you wouldn’t lift the hood and start pulling wires, right? This same analogy can be applied to working out, but often times, the answer is a little different. From injury-causing techniques that make trainers cringe to programs that bring little progress, there’s a lot to improve upon when it comes to gym basics. Take the guesswork out of training and read on to troubleshoot these common workout mistakes.
In terms of exercise selection, trainees often copy regulars at the gym who appear to know what they’re doing in the hopes to maybe one day achieve the same goals. The result is usually random exercises performed incorrectly in a program that is really non-existent.
The Fix: Learning how to execute exercises correctly and either learning about program design and exercise selection or having a personal program designed to best fit your needs. News flash: There is no such thing as the “best program.” The “best program” is the one that helps an individual reach their individual goals and is sustainable, fun, effective, and safe. Obviously, there are other important factors to consider, but it’s often that simple. Here are several parameters to look for in a good program
One of the most common weight loss challenges that men face is the pressure to be tough.  “Men are macho, so they might push too hard, go too heavy or do too much too fast and then burn out or get injured,” says fat loss expert Tom Venuto. He recommends consistency and steady improvement for long-term results.

MAN AND RAT: LASSA FEVER GETS REAL




While states keep fingers crossed and the threat of the LASSA Virus reign high, Nigerians still find pleasure in little thing as a man from up North declares himself a giant rat killer. According to Mallam Abdurazeez Aminu Yassa, If LASSA had definite Parenthood, this huge rat must be the mother carrier.

Well, For little reminders, The Lassa threat is still very real.

 Early symptoms of the disease include fever, headache, chills, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, sore throat, backache, and joint pains. 

Late symptoms include bleeding from the eyes, ears and nose, bleeding from the mouth and rectum, eye swelling, swelling of the genitals and rashes all over the body that often contain blood. It could progress to coma, shock and death.

EASIEST WAY TO HELP A SNORING PARTNER OR YOURSELF

Snoring is more than a bedtime annoyance: it’s a serious health concern. Complications from snoring include chronic fatigue, gaining weight, high blood pressure, heart failure and stroke.

 The most helpful prevention method to stop snoring and curtail these complications has recently been shown to involve nightly use of a jaw supporter.

 A Japanese study by the Kochi medical center recently found that the use of a jaw supporter had a marked improvement in rest rates for patients with obstructive sleep apnea and snoring.

Upon trial, most trials were successful and a test patient had this to say

“I decided to give the jaw supporter from Stop Snoring Today a shot after I found it online. “Why not?” I asked myself. “Might as well try this because nothing else seems to work.” Since it arrived, I’ve been sleeping with it every night and my snoring has completely stopped. So far out of the coutless solutions I’ve tried to stop snoring, this is the only one that I can recommend to my friends because it works for me.”


The jaw opens during sleep, which makes the tongue move towards the back of the throat. This obstructs the airway and limits the space air can flow through. The air that does make it through the partially blocked airway makes the noisy vibration we all know as snoring.

Wearing a jaw supporter, the muscles and tissues of the tongue, inner mouth and throat are all kept in place, making sure that the airway is open at all times during sleep and thereby preventing snoring.

If you have this as a problem, just order yours online and save your relationship.

9 WAYS TO GET A HOLD OVER MOUTH ODOR

 Halitosis, otherwise known as bad breath, might not be an emergency in health and dental care. It is definitely not in compare with the kind of tooth decay/pain wrecking episodes that have you in captive. 



But to open your mouth in public and have everyone scamper and cower sure puts you in the class of a weapon of mass destruction.So here are nine ways to eradicate halitosis.

SAY HELLO TO THE DENTIST.


I advise the first step to eradicating mouth odor as seeing a dentist. Why? Well, not all cases of bad breath can be solved by taking these measures listed in this article. 

On the off chance that you case is such that needs operative procedures, like a defect in your lungs and esophagus, seeing a dentist will make you best equipped to tackle your troubles. 

To your unasked question, yes! Mouth odor can be caused by bits of food that travel wrongly into your lungs and decay, causing a foul odor whenever you exhale. Therefore, seeing a doctor covers those contingencies.

BRUSH YOUR TEETH TWICE DAILY….AT LEAST.


To eradicate bad breath, brush your teeth at least twice daily. Every morning you wake up, and before bed, brush your teeth to sanitize your mouth and curb the bacterial activities in your mouth.  If you can, brush after every meal. 

This is most necessary if you already have a case of halitosis. In doing that,  scrub your tongue with either a tongue scrapper or your tooth brush, to remove the accumulation of bacterial activities building on your taste buds.

FLOSS AFTER EVERY MEALS.


Knowing that bad breath is like a rip in your pants that show your dirty underwear,  save yourself the shame by flossing regularly. When you chew food, residues of your meal hang in there between your teeth.

 For this reason, you are advised to floss after every meal. This removes the bits of your meal that if left, decays and makes your mouth foul. Regular flossing after meal, rinse your mouth with water after meals too.

MOUTH RINSE.


Although mouth rinse is temporal in helping, it is still helpful as a sure way to hiding mouth odor. It might not be best for eradication but it keeps your mouth fresh and respectable in short term basis. 

For best result, use it after meals, especially as you might not be in a position to immediately brush your teeth. Typically, if you are having a sit-in lunch at the office.


IF YOU USE DENTURES …


Remember to remove them at night before you sleep, and clean them out. Use disinfectants that have been screened and approved by your dentist. Remember that they are good reasons to cause bad breath if you don’t take care of them.

CHEWING GUM.


There are chewing gums that have been adapted to keep your mouth fresh and flavory. Herbal, minty chewing gums that keep saliva circulating and help you avoid a dry mouth. 

These gums also limit bacterial activities in your mouth while helping in strengthening your gums and teeth.

EAT FRUITS THAT WILL HELP YOUR DENTITION.


Apples are very advisory in keeping your mouth fresh, while eradicating mouth odor. You can also wash orange rinds and eat them. They keep your mouth in fine condition, with a nice fragrance, just as they also act as anti bacterial.

 Aniseeds are anti microbial too. Cloves, celery, carrot and fennel seeds. Crunchy fruits actually help the mouth retain very fresh disposition when u open your mouth.

DRINK A LOT OF WATER


Having a dry mouth is a sure reason for mouth odor. So drink up. Not just water but take a lot of fluids to keep your body hydrated. When dry, our mouth is sure to emit foul odor. So drink a lot of water and keep both mouth and body hydrated.

TOBACCO AND TOXINS


Smoking, apart from drying out your mouth, has an unpleasant odor it emits in your mouth. So it goes to say, quit smoking; not if you want to keep your mouths smelling nice. Also, if your food contains garlic and onions, or any other dish with a strong odor after eating that can come off as offensive, 
brush after eating. 

Onions and garlic can be tamed by drinking a glass of milk after the meal. Artificial toxins in our food intakes and drinks might also contribute.
 Therefore watch what you eat because we all want the swagger of a star and breath that’s fresh like the wind……winks.






KEEPING POSSIBLE TOOTHACHE AT BAY


Besides the tooth fairy, who I suppose keeps tooth decay free, the other responsible person to avoiding tooth decay is you. Well, am not sure that is the responsibility of the fairy, but he has to take some responsibility too. Let’s get to how to get that teeth looking good while keeping decay and aches at bay.





BRUSH AND FLOSS


I think our parents did a lot to get us into these habits but smelly mouths in the morning felt too glorious to abandon. I guess been ogres felt more good than avoiding tooth ache. Yet, for sake of our teeth, remember to brush and floss regularly. 

Brushing would be ideally done twice a day. Before bed at night and in the morning. If u could do more than that, it would be nice still. Floss your teeth at least once a week. Stay in obedience and its possible goodbye to tooth aches, decay and loss.

GOOD FOOD HABITS


I think a rather good tip to follow will be the need to keep good food habits. Avoid candies and gum. Especially when we are talking loads of sugar. Sugar affects your enamel and weakens it. That is exactly why its advised by the dentist to brush after your chocolate and candies.

 Apples and crunchy fruits are good snack replacements instead. They have been found to contain healthy enzymes that improve your mouth ph and freshness

FILL UP YOUR CAVITIES


It would really help you if you don’t let cavities develop in your tooth. We already know the side effects of the sugar-tooth habits. Once you think chocolates, we say cavities.
 But to avoid permanent damages, fill up your cavities to avoid needing to pull the tooth entirely. It’s an early measure to save the teeth.

SALT WATER


This is not just for abortions….don’t ask me the relationship between salty water and abortions. I do not know…..winks …. I only know I once heard as a herbal cure, you could drink loads of salty water to avoid sexually transmitted disease.

 Anyway, add salt to a tumbler of water and stir. Swirl in your mouth after your meals to sterilize your mouth and avoid the bacterial party. It’s a cheaper idea of the mouth wash.

SEE THE DENTIST


I know the dentist never has fans but you still have to visit him to get yourself checked. I mean think about it. You do not need to love the doctor with an injection in his hand but to cure your ailment, you need to take it. Therefore, see your dentist. And it’s meant to be for once every six months.

               
  Finally, for the cowards, just kiss a lot. Saliva is not just a mouth lubricant among its many uses. It’s a cleaning agent. So to keep your mouth in prime condition, kiss a lot.

 I do not think this is true but it sounded sensible when I thought of it. After all it gives you reasons to force the woman in your life to endure all the needed kisses. Feel free to thank me for this needed excuse to get free kisses.

9 THINGS ONE CAN DO TO GET RID OF BODY ODOR

                               
Top on the list of things that can be an affront in a person’s public persona is a bad smell. There’s a popular saying that though u bath a pig, dress it. . . . . . a pig is a pig. One can easily pig you off the list for carrying an unpleasant smell. So here is to getting rid of the pig stink u might have taken up like a headliner.

Things you need to do to help you get rid of body odor:


Top on the list is regular baths. Most smells emitting from our bodies are usually brought about by sweating. Moist environment and a combination of toxins from our skins that the body emits as its ritual cleaning system, creates a not needed smell.

 So to keep yourself crisp and clean, have regular baths to relieve your skin of that odor. This alone does over fifty percent the job needed to rid you of odor.



Wash your clothes regularly after use. And in a case you don’t, air them after wear to dry out the sweat and bacteria. Putting them back in the bag only causes them to smell. 
This also affects every other cloth in the bag or locker. Before you know it, all your clothes wear bad odor like fragrance.

 Most importantly, never wear already worn undies. Change them whenever you have your bath.
Bad odor and body smells have also been caused by unwashed and dirty feet.

 Always wash and change your socks and air your shoes? Have you ever visited perhaps a gal/boy you like and pulled your shoes only to have the room color like the smell of a waste disposing factory? Well, now we know why not to.

Shave your armpits and public areas. Hairy pits and pubes are naturally offensive. The concentration of pores in those areas and the secrecy in their location makes them a high risk zone for nasty smells. 
Shave them regularly and keep them dry to limit bad odor.


It is at this point I remind you of the need to use deodorants and good body sprays, perfumes. It not only helps to hide the body smells but make you comfortable. A body perfume that is pleasant makes you happy. It attracts people to you and lifts your disposition. Cleanliness naturally improves your social health.

For specific areas that need attention on your body, you can wipe down your armpits and pubes with vinegar. Apple cider vinegar has a high ph level that makes it difficult for bacteria to thrive in it. So to keep the smells away, rub them on your armpits and let it soak for 5- 15 mins, depending on how serious yours is.

 This will rid you of bad odor if use repeatedly. You can also use lemon juice where apple cider is not available. Press out lemon and rub. Do not scrub.

Wear silk and cotton more in your clothing. These kinds of clothes will let your skin breathe and tolerate air circulation on your skin surface. Polyester and wool are usually worst of in hot and humid regions.

Another very important thing to consider will be a ruthless de-toxification regime. Imbibe exercises that purge your skin and body by sweating it out. Rid your body of skin clogs. Find time to blow out your pores.
 Clean your skin with skin detoxifiers and go for saunas. You need to open your pores and give your body freedom to inhale or exhale.

Second only to bathing regularly, eat meals that will detoxify your body. Bad smells are either from what emanates from within or what clogs from without. Improve your diet. Eat foods that clean your system internally to remove that smells.

 Bad odors can come from the occasional constipation, gases in your bowel, or toxins on your skin. Cucumber and carrots are very good de-oxidants. Rosemary, sage, watermelon, banana, a lot of these fruits in your regular diets will sure do wonders for you.
