Actress Mariam Odunola – ‘I prefer dating married men than single guys’

Posted: 23 Dec 2019 11:00 PM PST

For popular Yoruba actress, Mariam Odunola Muftaudeen, popularly known as Omo VC, she is fully in support of Polygamy, because she's a Muslim.

According to her interview with Nigerian Tribune dating a married man or becoming a fourth wife is not an issue.

She said:

"Marriage is a delicate topic that I am always cautious to discuss because it cuts across various faiths with personal interests and different kinds of persons involved. But as a Muslim, my religion gives room for a man to marry more than one wife with clear explanations that such a man must create balance on the home front.

If a man doesn't have the financial, mental, physical and psychological capacity to marry more than one wife, he is not expected to go into polygamy. I however don't have any issue with polygamy as long as there is adequate care and respect among the parties involved.

Personally, I like married men more than single guys because I have never been lucky with single guys. As it looks, I might end up being second, third or even fourth wife, I don't mind as long as I am happy.

However, I can't marry someone who doesn't have interest in my profession. Acting is my pride and it gives me joy. Before going into relationship, my man must have been aware of how passionate I am with acting and filmmaking.'

The First 'Jackass' Movie in Over a Decade Will Hit Theaters in 2021

Posted: 23 Dec 2019 01:30 AM PST

Stop & Shop better start hiding their grocery carts now because another Jackass film is in the works. Paramount recently announced a March 5, 2021, release date for the fourth installment of Jackass, based on the MTV stunt-prank reality series that launched in 2000.

The TV series was created Johnny Knoxville, Spike Jonze, and Jeff Tremaine, and the series itself was directed by Tremaine. The original cast included Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Dave England, Ryan Dunn, Ehren McGhehey, Jason Wee Man Acuna, and Preston Lacy. Its unclear how many of the original cast members will return for the upcoming film. Alas, we know that Dunn, one of the leading original cast members, will not return. He passed in 2011 in a drunk driving accident.

The second film, Jackass Number Two premiered in 2006, followed by Jackass 3D in 2010, meaning it will have been over a decade since the last official Jackass film. That said, Knoxville did star in the comedy Bad Grandpa in 2013, which was billed as a Jackass presents production. Knoxville also wrote, produced, and starred in 2018's Action Point. Produced in a similar manner to Bad Grandpa, Action Point features Jackass-style stunts connected by an overarching fictional narrative.

Paramount has only announced the release date of the 4th Jackass film. Further details should come out in 2020.

These tips tell you what makes a baby beautiful and smart

Posted: 23 Dec 2019 12:30 AM PST

You already know that a healthy lifestyle while pregnant helps your baby grow big and strong. But did you know it can make him/her smarter too?

Actually, the simple choices that you make every day can help build your baby's brain. This is whether you're eating a leafy-green salad for lunch or hitting the treadmill for a workout. Having a smart baby is what makes a baby beautiful.

What you do while you're pregnant can have as much impact on your child's brain development and future intelligence as what you do after you give birth. Learn some of the ways that healthy habits help your baby's brain. They are pointers to what makes a baby beautiful and smart.

Taking a prenatal supplement, one with the B vitamin folic acid is essential for pregnancy. Folic acid has long played a key role in forming healthy brain cells. A recent study found that women who took folic acid early - from four weeks before conception through to eight weeks into pregnancy - had a 40 percent lower risk of birthing a child with autism.

To get more folic acid in your diet, look to excellent sources. These foods are also what makes a baby beautiful and smart:

Here's What Makes A Beautiful Baby A Smart One

  • Fortified breakfast cereals, lentils, and leafy greens like spinach.
  • Omega-3 fatty acids, especially DHA, also have a major impact on the production of neurons. They are the nerves in the brain that fire electrical impulses and send messages to the rest of the body. Get your fill from foods such as wild salmon and other fatty fish, walnuts, ground flaxseed, and eggs fortified with omega-3s.
  • Iron helps promote the growth of healthy red blood cells, which carry oxygen to your baby's brain. Red meat is the best source, but it is also in plant foods such as beans, spinach, and tofu, as well as iron-enhanced cereals.
If you're worried that you're not eating enough fruits and veggies (perhaps you're struggling with morning sickness) sneak them into your diet like this:

  • Put dried fruits in oatmeal and salads.
  • Dice or puree veggies and add them to soups and sauces.
  • Get more nutrients by drinking milk and orange juice.
However, be sure to ask your doctor before taking additional supplements.

What makes a baby beautiful? Increased Intelligence

Exercise will give you the stamina you need for labour and delivery. It can also strengthen your baby's brain. According to research, children of moms who exercised during pregnancy scored higher on tests of language skills and intelligence at age 5 compared with the kids of sedentary moms. Why? Moderate levels of cortisol - a stress hormone that's also secreted when you exercise. Cortisol promotes the growth and development of your baby's brain, as well as his other major organs. Experts recommend 30 minutes of moderate exercise for pregnant women on all or most days of the week.

Study says breast milk has cancer dissolving properties

Posted: 23 Dec 2019 12:00 AM PST

The benefits of breast milk just increased a notch. And this is perhaps the most revolutionary benefit of the wonder liquid that is breast milk.

Breast milk can break tumours into tiny fragments that cancer patients can pass in their urine, a recent study suggests.

Benefits Of Breast Milk: Dissolves Cancer
Breast milk contains milk sugar alpha1H. The milk sugar alpha1H, which is essential to a baby's development, destroys tumours without harming healthy tissue. This came to light in a recent study.

The study found 20 bladder cancer sufferers who excreted tumour fragments in their urine. This was after just six infusions of alpha1H. Further research suggests that patients start to pass malignant tissue within two hours of treatment.

How Does Breast Milk Actually Dissolve Cancer?

When alpha1H binds to the fat oleic acid, they form a 'tumoricidal' complex that triggers cancerous cells into 'suicide'.

Researchers from the Czech Republic hope this could be a 'gentler' form of chemotherapy. It is certainly better than conventional treatments that poison cells and cause nasty side effects.

The drug manufacturer Hamlet Pharma Ltd plans to test if the chemical shrinks bladder tumours and improves patient survival.

Professor Catharina Svanborg is the founder of Hamlet Pharma Ltd. Prof. Svanborg presided over the team who ran the experiment at Motol University Hospital in Prague.

Svanborg accidentally discovered alpha1H kills tumour cells while at Lund University, Sweden, in 1995. She looked at how breast milk fights germs, marvelling at how the cancer cells had begun disappearing.

Bladder cancer is the 10th most common form of the disease in the UK. With more than 10,300 people being diagnosed every year, according to Action Bladder Cancer UK.

And in the US, around 80,470 people are expected to develop bladder cancer in 2019, according to the National Cancer Institute.

Another study saw 40 bladder-cancer patients with hard-to-treat tumours being given alpha1H or placebo during six infusions over 22 days.

All 20 patients who received the breast milk chemical passed tumour fragments in their urine.

Another Trial On The Magical Breast Milk



Another trial saw nine bladder cancer patients receive five daily doses of alpha1H in the week before surgery to remove their tumours.

Eight of the nine patients passed tumour cells in just two hours, with the malignant masses also becoming smaller or less aggressive.

The chemical's apparent gentleness means it could be used as a preventative drug in at-risk patients, she said.

The research team also plans to investigate the drug in brain and colon cancer.

Professor Svanborg claims alpha1H caused 'tumour disappearance' in mice.


Bladder cancer can be tricky to treat. A transurethral resection is typically the go-to for early stages of the disease.

Patients' treatment includes the live bacteria Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG).

Doctors inject the BCG directly into the bladder where it 'turns on' the immune system. The organ then attracts the immune cells. They, in turn, attack the tumour.

Up to a third of patients do not respond to BCG at all. Many must now decide to have their entire bladder removed, and another third suffer side effects. These side effects are serious and include bladder infection, anemia and kidney problems.

There is also a worldwide shortage of BCG, which further adds to the need for new treatments.

Breast milk composition: What's in your breast milk?
It's full of nutrients that feed and protect your baby, but did you know breast milk composition varies over time? Find out what's in breast milk and how it changes to meet your baby's needs.

As your baby's first food, you might expect your breast milk ingredients to include basic essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, proteins and fats, as well as water to keep her hydrated, which it does.1 But breast milk is no ordinary food – it has more value than nutrition alone.

What's human milk made of?
Here are some of the other constituents of human milk present at every feed, many of which can't be replicated:


  • Millions of live cells. These include immune-boosting white blood cells, as well as stem cells, which may help organs develop and heal.
  • More than 1,000 proteins that help your baby grow and develop, activate her immune system, and develop and protect neurons in her brain.
  • All that breast milk protein is made up of amino acids. There are more than 20 of these compounds in your milk. Some of them, called nucleotides, increase at night and scientists think they may induce sleep.
  • Over 200 complex sugars called oligosaccharides that act as prebiotics, feeding 'good bacteria' in your baby's gut. They also prevent infections from entering her bloodstream and lower her risk of brain inflammation.
  • More than 40 enzymes. Enzymes are catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in the body. The ones in your milk have jobs such as aiding your baby's digestion and immune system, as well as helping her absorb iron.
  • Additional properties
  • Study says breast milk has cancer dissolving properties
  • Study says breast milk has cancer dissolving properties
  • Growth factors that support healthy development. These affect many parts of your baby's body, including her intestines, blood vessels, nervous system, and her glands, which secrete hormones.
  • On the subject of hormones, your breast milk contains lots of them!These clever chemicals send messages between tissues and organs to ensure they work properly. Some help regulate your baby's appetite and sleep patterns, and even aid the bond between you.
  • Vitamins and minerals – nutrients that support healthy growth and organ function, as well as help build your baby's teeth and bones.
  • Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins. There are five basic forms of antibodies and all of them are in your milk. They protect your baby against illnesses and infections by neutralising bacteria and viruses.
  • You may have heard of long-chain fatty acids because they play a pivotal part in building your baby's nervous system, as well as aid healthy brain and eye development. And, you've guessed it, there are several of these in your milk too!
  • 1,400 microRNAs, which are thought to regulate gene expression, as well as help prevent or halt disease development, support your baby's immune system, and play a role in remodelling the breast.

While this is a long list, it's only some of the ingredients in your breast milk – and scientists are still discovering more. Remarkably, the levels of these ingredients can fluctuate over time, depending on your baby's age and needs.
