How you can reduce the risk of getting breast cancer

Breast cancer happens when the cells in the breast grows out of control. The breast is made up of three parts;

a. The Lobules: The Lobules produces the milk.

b. The Ducts: The Ducts are tubes that carry the milk to the nipples.

c. The connective tissue: The connective tissue holds everything together.

We have different types of breast cancer, but there are two major ones;

1. Invasive Lobular Carcinoma: The cancer cells starts from the Lobules and spreads to the tissues close to it. This kind of breast cancer can spread to different parts of the body.

2. Invasive Ductal Carcinoma: This type of breast cancer cells is outside. It starts from the duct and grows to the other breast tissues.

Some symptoms of breast cancer are:

1. Swelling of parts of the breast.

2. Redness in the nipples.

3. Pain in the nipple area.

4. Lump in the breast or armpit.

5. Nipple discharge.

6. Pain in the breast area.

These symptoms can also happen in other illnesses that are not breast cancer. So to be really sure,when you start having any of these signs visit a doctor.

So many factors causes breast cancer like family history,age, genetics and gender,these are factors we cannot control. There are other factors that increases the risk of having breast cancer,we can control.

Some of those things we can do to reduce the risk of breast cancer are:

1. Exercising: Most of us do not know how effective exercising can be. Exercise is very important to the body. Exercise not only keeps your weight in check,but also helps lower the risk of a person getting certain illnesses, like cancer.

2. Fruits and vegetables: Fruits and vegetables helps boost our immune system, which in turn helps fight off sickness and diseases. Regular consumption of fruits and vegetables helps reduce the risk of not just cancer but other diseases.

3. Avoid smoking: Smoking is your number one enemy. Smoking destroys the immune system, leaving the system weak and exposing it to certain illnesses and diseases. Smoking also cause bad teeth and a smelly breath,so avoid smoking by all means necessary.

4. Maintain a healthy weight: Being over weight, most times is bad for the health. Being over weight attracts lots of sickness to the body. It is always important to maintain a healthy weight.

Ladies do not neglect your health until it’s too late.

Have you ever stuck your finger in your vagina then licked it? Okay maybe that’s extreme, did you try to find out what it smelled like??🥴

Most men masturbate yeah?? When you cum, have you ever tried to taste it? Or even smell it?🥴

You should give it a try! Maybe that would give you an answer to the reason why your partner is evasive when you want them to do that to you, I mean you can’t feed people poison and expect them to relish it🤷🏾‍♀️

A good number of ladies spend a lot, buying one thing or the other to improve the quality of vaginal juice and what have you..
Sometimes the solutions to your problems are simpler than what you deploy to tackle them..

Some of you use the sledgehammer to kill a fly, some things are not rocket science, but because you like fancy words and presentations you cause more problems for your health than the solution you think you found..
The quality of whatever content you dish out down below is directly proportional to your diet! Yes, it’s garbage in garbage out…

Except you have an infection, you don’t need any extra brouhaha to keep your privates clean and healthy with beautiful smell except PERSONAL HYGIENE…

Personal hygiene is something many people claim to do but a fraction only do it well, that’s a topic for another day..
All I’m saying is STOP feeding your partner poison!
When your partner starts complaining or being evasive, do what I wrote in paragraph one and two..

Finally, what’s this thing about Nigerians? Neglecting their health until it’s too late? What’s with the unregulated/medication without prescription that we do with all alacrity??
That also is a topic for another time!

Your first point for consultation, when you have health issues or want to improve your health shouldn’t be whoever you see marketing healthcare products while pasting ‘testimonies’ about how it worked but A QUALIFIED HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL!

We’ve all got just one life, don’t throw yours to the bin with your carelessness, it’s true we all will die but then isn’t it foolishness giving someone else the power to cut you short before time while they go on living?

How’s your day going dears?❤❤

If You Want To Live Long Stop Doing These Things; It Harm Your Kidney


If you want to live long and healthy please desist from all these things i have mentioned below. Remember, Good health is better than Silver and Gold. There are lots of hope when you are alive.

Generally, we might all have known about the shape of the kidney and how it works. We could be able to remember how the kidney works accordingly since we have been educated earlier. Being one of the important organs, the primary work of the kidney is to filter the harmful toxins and filters excess of water from our body naturally. The bean-shaped kidney is located just against the back muscle in the upper abdominal cavity of the human body.

But people adapt some bad and careless habits which might be harmful to kidneys and it might also lead to kidney failure. Here is the list of careless habits that we might affect the kidney.

: Well! Urinating is the most important thing to do in our day-to-day life. Naturally, our body must flush out the waste from the bladder which is a highly essential and healthy thing for a kidney. When you remain with a bladder full for a too long period, then you are purposely getting your body into health issues. It might increase the pressure in the kidneys which will lead to serious issues.

: People should consume salt in a limited amount which will be good for their health. And if you consume salt more than the required amount, then it definitely destroys the kidneys. The fact is that sodium pushes your kidneys under risk when it is given pressure due to excess salt. So, it is highly recommended to add salt in a limited amount.

: Drinking water is indispensable in our daily life! You must consume adequate water to keep your body hydrated. If you are not consuming enough amount of water, then you are risking your kidneys. Insufficient water intake might have negative impacts on your health such as forming stones in the kidney.

: Well, you might have heard about people warning you not to take pain killers. But it is true because it affects the health of your body later or it might have side effects too. Even experts suggest that consuming pain killers regularly might cause serious damages to your kidneys. So, it has a negative impact not only on your kidney but also on the other parts of the body.

: When you consume alcohol more than the required amount, then it directly affects your liver as well as kidneys. Due to lots of pressure-induced on kidneys, it pushes the kidneys to risk. Excessive intake of alcohol increases the uric acid and leads to kidney failure by chance.

Be cautious of these careless habits, which you should have to wipe off!

Things you don’t know about charcoal

I can remember vividly back then that we don’t have refrigerator, my mum used to put a piece of charcoal inside our already grinded beans that she want to use for moi-moi especially when she was busy with other things and do not want to prepare the moi-moi instantly. She said that it’s her own way of preserving it from getting soured. So after she finished what she was doing then she will remove the charcoal from the grinded bean and start preparing the moi-moi

When I was a kid in the primary school, my teacher back then used to tell us to grind charcoal and use it to brush our teeth with toothbrush that it purified the teeth.

3 signs that shows that your period is not normal.

1. Major Bleeding

Changing your pad or tampon every three hours is normal. What isn’t: You’re soaking through one in an hour or less. And while the occasional clot of thick bloody discharge is fine, if you have lots of clotting or clots that are larger than a quarter, go see your gynecologist. Bleeding this heavy can lead to anemia, which will leave you even more tired.

2. Weird Timing

Stress, overexercising, excessive weight loss or a gain — all of these things could be delaying your period or causing you to skip it altogether. Your doctor can get your body back on track. But if you have a super-long period followed by nothing for months, it may be polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a somewhat common disorder where your hormones go haywire. PCOS could even lead to excess hair growth and weight gain, but there are meds to help.

3. Killer Cramps

Sure, we all get those knots below our stomach during that time of the month. But when the pain is so bad that you’re missing events or other important activities every time your period rolls around, it may be a sign of endometriosis. This is when the glands that grow inside your uterus spread to other areas, like your ovaries or bladder. Endometriosis often causes extreme cramps and leads to more serious issues if left untreated, so talk to your doctor if you’re suffering from really bad cramps every month.

Watermelon seeds are low in calories and are nutrient dense. When roasted, they’re crispy and can easily take the place of other unhealthy snack options.

1. Low calorie

One ounce of watermelon seed kernels contains approximately 158 caloriesTrusted Source. That’s not much lower than an ounce of Lay’s Potato Chips (160 calories), but let’s take a look at what constitutes an ounce.

A large handful of watermelon seeds weighs about 4 grams and contains about just 23 calories. Far less than a bag of potato chips!

2. Magnesium

The 5 Best Watermelon Seed Benefits

Eating watermelon seeds

You might be accustomed to spitting them out as you eat — seed spitting contest, anyone? Some people just opt for seedless. But the nutritional value of watermelon seeds may convince you otherwise.

Watermelon seeds are low in calories and are nutrient dense. When roasted, they’re crispy and can easily take the place of other unhealthy snack options.https://tpc.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-37/html/container.html

1. Low calorie

One ounce of watermelon seed kernels contains approximately 158 caloriesTrusted Source. That’s not much lower than an ounce of Lay’s Potato Chips (160 calories), but let’s take a look at what constitutes an ounce.

A large handful of watermelon seeds weighs about 4 grams and contains about just 23 calories. Far less than a bag of potato chips!

2. Magnesium

One of several minerals found in watermelon seeds is magnesium. In a 4-gram serving, you’ll get 21 mg of magnesium, which is 5 percent of the daily value.

It’s also required to maintain nerve and muscle function, as well as immune, heart, and bone health.https://tpc.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-37/html/container.html

3. Iron

A handful of watermelon seeds contains about 0.29 mg of iron, or about 1.6 percent of the daily value. It might not seem like much, but the NIH only recommends adults get 18 mg in their day.

Iron is an important component of hemoglobin — carrying oxygen through the body. It also helps your body convert calories into energy.

However, watermelon seeds contain phytate, which decreases the absorption of iron and reduces their nutritional value.

4. “Good” fats

Watermelon seeds also provide a good source of both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids — one large handful (4 grams) provides 0.3 and 1.1 grams, respectively.

According to the American Heart Association, these fats are useful in protecting against heart attack and stroke, and lowering levels of “bad” cholesterol in the blood.

5. Zinc

Watermelon seeds are also good source of zinc. They provide about 26 percent of the daily value in one ounce, or 4 percent DV in one large handful (4 grams).

Zinc is an important nutrient, essential to the immune system. It’s also necessary for:

  • the body’s digestive and nervous systems
  • cell regrowth and division
  • your senses of taste and smell

However, just like with iron, phytates reduce the absorption of zinc.

How to roast them

Roasting watermelon seeds is easy. Set your oven at 325°F and place the seeds on a baking sheet. It should only take about 15 minutes for them to roast, but you may want to stir them halfway through to ensure an even crispiness.

You can make the seeds taste even better by adding a little olive oil and salt, or sprinkling them with cinnamon and a light dusting of sugar. If you prefer more flavor, you can add lime juice and chili powder, or even cayenne pepper.
