WOW! 8 THINGS LADIES NEED TO KNOW WHEN YOU CUT YOUR HAIR SHORT, YOU WILL THANK ME FOR THIS

Change is good, especially after 25 years

ISTOCK/HIRURGDuring high school I was tortured daily by the likes of Farrah Faucett, with her glorious mane of blonde curls—especially in that iconic 80s swimsuit shot that dazzled gazillions of teenage boys. My then-boyfriend had the poster pinned up over his bed, a constant reminder of our shared goal—for him to embrace Farrah and for me to be Farrah. But I have naturally dark, curly hair, and was on the chubby side—there was nothing remotely close to Farrah-ish about me. Thank God for college where I could let my freak flag fly—long, untamed curls (Take Back the Hair!). And that's how its been for many decades. But recently, when I turned 50, I started looking in the mirror a bit more closely and discovered something extraordinary. I am not 25 anymore! I don't mean that I feel or look bad or God forbid "old," but I realized it was time for a change. My little face and head were hiding behind a mass of crazy hair that once looked wild and wonderful and now looked wild and deranged. After four stylists refused to cut it, I finally found one who said, "Let's do this!" And I'm so glad we did. (By the way, it's a good idea to know these style terms before your next salon visit.)

FOODS THAT CAN NATURALLY CURE MOUTH ODOR INSTANTLY. GIRLS WILL LOVE NO 5

It's no secret that certain foods don't do your breath any favors. John C. Comisi, DDS, at Dental Care with a Difference, PC in Ithaca, New York, suggests limiting foods that are associated with causing malodorous oral-related conditions. "Garlic, onions, coffee, alcohol, meats, juices, and carbonated beverages are just a few of the foods and drinks linked to bad breath," he says. "The breath odor is most commonly created by volatile sulfur compounds that can be found in many of these items or that can be created when these are ingested." Not following a proper oral hygiene routine, which includes regular dental visits, can contribute to the problem. "Fresh breath starts with a healthy and clean mouth," says Ana Gourlay, an herbalist at Sunflower Natural Foods in Laconia, New Hampshire. Gourlay, who holds a master's degree in natural health as well as a certificate in advanced herbal studies, says there are many ways to freshen your breath naturally.

Health Expert Reveals How Kola Nut Is Injurious to Heart

A medical expert, Dr Ikechu‎kwu Arinze, of the General Hospital, Minna in Niger, has warned the populace against consumption of Kola nut, saying it is dangerous to the heart.

Arinze gave the warning in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Minna.

‎

According to him, the long term effect of Kola nut consumption is dangerous to the heart, because Kola nut has nicotine which causes increase in the heart beat‎ and endangers it.

“There is no nutritional benefit in consumption of Kola nut. What it does is to stimulate one to be alert, but it takes its toll on the heart.

‎

“Similarly, cigarette smokers are as endangered as Hemp smokers, as both take toll on the heart; while alcoholism worsens heart problems,’’ he said.

‎

Arinze also warned against intake of junk foods, which he said, had a lot of saturated fat.

‎

He said that to eat healthy, one had to eat fruits and vegetables and exercise the body regularly, at least two to three times a week.

“Exercise is like energising the heart with stamina for the vascular system to withstand sudden stress.“The exercise must last for one hour 30 minutes per training and must be done two or three times a week.‎

“It makes the blood vessel to flow well; it makes the heart to firm-up and function well,” he said.

‎

Arinze ‎said that the high intake of salt was also an enemy of the heart, because it kills the heart gradually.

‎

“If we gradually have less salt, our salt drive‎ will adjust.

‎

“The more there is salt in our diet, the more there is going to be water retention in our body, more water in our blood and this increases the pressure in our blood vessels.

“This leads to hypertension over a period of time, and increases the pressure in our blood vessel‎,” he said.

‎

‎Arinze advised that vegetable oil should not be compromised for animal oil, saying that a lot of fruits should be taken.
