Posted: 21 Jun 2021 09:00 AM PDT

There are natural ways to get rid of bad breath aside mouthwash.

The good news is that with lifestyle changes and natural remedies, you can get rid of bad breath naturally.

Bad breath, is an embarrassing health condition that affects approximately 30% of people around the world. For many people, grabbing a mint or a piece of gum is their go-to solution, as it quickly masks the problem. But this approach often fails to address the root causes of bad breath, which for many people includes dietary deficiency. The reality is that bad breath can be caused by some health conditions, foods, and even habits.

1. Green Tea
Research has found that green tea temporarily reduces malodor due to its antibacterial and deodorant action. This is probably due to the actions of the polyphenols, antioxidants it contains.

2. Aloe Vera
You can make your own Aloe Vera mouthwash to combat bad breath. Simply boil some water and add aloe Vera gel once it is cooled. You can also add peppermint oil to taste.

3. Ginger
Ginger has many health and beauty benefits aside from its culinary purposes. It can be used to fight halitosis. Just dice fresh ginger, wash and blend with lemon. Rinse after 15 minutes to get rid of bad odor.

4. Drink water
Drink plenty of water and swish cool water around in your mouth. This is especially helpful to freshen "morning breath."

5. Rinse with coconut oil
Sluicing with coconut oil for ten to 15 minutes can remove any bacteria hiding in your mouth to give you fresh breath.

What do I need to know before marrying an older man?

Posted: 21 Jun 2021 07:00 AM PDT

You would remember when the internet broke with the story of Regina Daniels marrying a much older and rich politician named Ned Nwoko.

Eyebrows were raised, tongues wagged, and keypad warriors went to work. The 38 year age gap between the couple made the picture of their love hard to accept for her fans.

Throw in the fact that the husband is wealthy and it's natural that suspicions are raised.

But is marrying and older man really that bad? Let's take a deeper look at the topic of marrying an older man pros and cons of it.

Regina Daniels: why I married an older man

Ifedayo Olarinde, known to Nigerians as Daddy Freeze, caught up with Regina Daniels and Ned Nwoko vacationing in Dubai. It was the first interview they agreed to since after their marriage. During the interview the 20-year-old actress revealed why she married an older man in Ned. She attributed that decision to her not being an easy-going person.

"I don't think I could have married someone of my age because I am quite stubborn, very stubborn, my head is not down but with my husband that is not the case because I respect him a lot," she said.

Later in the interview, Ned was asked about his love for the young actress. He straightened the story of how they met. He said, "Some people thought I met her (Regina) through her mother. We met, fell in love and got married within three weeks." And as more questions rolled by, Regina was asked if she was worried about public opinion. To which she answered, "The only thing I was worried about when he proposed was how I was going to tell my family and not what the public will say or think. I have learned a lot from him. According to her, she calls him 'baby'. "I used to cook but my husband has stopped me from entering the kitchen because we have cooks and domestic staff."

Finally, the couple spoke of their mutual interest in swimming. And Ned used the opportunity to announce that he is building a sports university, for those who did not already know.

"I taught her how to swim and I learnt under 20 minutes. I have taught over 700 people how to swim in the last four years. It is my passion that's why I'm building a sports university as you might know," Ned said.

Marrying an older man: the pros and cons
In marrying an older man, there are pros and cons to consider. We will start with the pros and then the cons.
  • Financial stability: most older men are at that point in their lives where they have their finances already figured out, whether they're businessmen or career men. So that's one less thing to worry about.
  • They're straight shooters: An older man knows exactly what he's looking for. He isn't there to figure it out along the way. If he wants commitment, he'll go ahead and say it. 
  • They are confidence: confidence comes with experience. So being around the block for some time affords older men the confidence you might not find in young men.
  • You might feel like a baby: the dynamic may make you feel immature from time to time. It's easier if he doesn't help the feeling, but if he does you might begin to regret that decision. 
  • They can be controlling: usually, older men have the urge to control every situation. They want to always feel in control. You may find yourself struggling to assert yourself. 
  • Life will be less exciting: you may find that life could be less exciting with the older guy. He may not be interested in partying, vacationing, seeing new places. Chances are he's past that stage by the time he met you. 

Conclusion

To every decision, there's always a reason to do it and a reason not to. In the end you're all that matters and you ought to do what you think is best for you.

You need to have pantyliners with you at all times...here's why

Posted: 21 Jun 2021 06:00 AM PDT

Pantyliners are one of the must-have for all women's hygiene.

Vaginal discharge is normal in healthy girls, but you need pantyliners to stay clean and fresh.

A pantyliner or panty liner is similar to a pad or sanitary napkin, but a little lighter, thinner. It's an absorbent piece of material used for feminine hygiene. It is similar to a pad but just not as thick as a pad. Unlike pads, panty liner cannot be used to soak up too much of one's menstruation blood.

You might think you don't need a pantyliner because you don't have heavy discharges. Today's article will show you the reason you need pantyliners more than you think.

1. Manages discharge
The vagina discharges at different amounts and times of the month and day. The best way to absorb discharges is by using a pantyliner. It helps to keep your pants unstained.

2. Rescues you on the days of surprise mensuration
To avoid surprises and embarrassing moments, lots of women use panytliners, just in case their period pops up unexpectedly. Carrying a pack of panty liner in your bag is a great idea on days when your period appears unannounced and you can't get a pad in time.

3. Absorbs postpartum flow
Postpartum flow is a flow from mothers who just put to bed. One can use a panty liner to protect herself from such a flow.

4. Keeps you fresh all-day
Pantyliners are specifically designed to be worn as they can help you feel confident and clean. You get to feel dry all day, unlike those times you sense a moist feeling from your pants.

5. It protects you from urine leaks
Urine can leak from one's sensitive bladder, but with the help of a liner, you'll stay dry throughout the day. Also, after using the toilet, it helps to protect your pant from getting wet from residual urine.

Did you know that chronic neck pain could be a symptom of HIV? Here are the early symptoms

Posted: 21 Jun 2021 05:00 AM PDT

HIV typically has no symptoms, especially in the early stages but chronic neck pain can be a sign that something is gravely wrong.

In as little as two weeks to as long as three months, signs can occur in your body, which are reactions to an HIV infection.

If you have recently engaged in unprotected sex or shared an injectable needle with someone whose HIV status you cannot confirm, you should consider being tested for the HIV virus. An early HIV test is a good idea for your health, safety and benefit of others.

Many, but not all people who are infected, experience flu-like symptoms, sometimes described as the "worse flu ever." There are between nine and sixteen different symptoms experienced by people living with HIV and AIDS.

Common early symptoms of HIV

Here are some of the most common, indicating early-stage HIV infection:
Fever: One of the first signs of an HIV infection can be a mild fever, up to about 102F/39C. At this point the virus is moving into the blood stream and starting to replicate in large numbers. You are highly contagious in the early stages of an HIV infection because the undetected, unchecked virus is making millions of copies of itself as it destroys cells your immune system uses to fight disease.

Swollen Lymph Nodes: Lymph nodes often become inflamed, or swollen, when the body is trying to fight an HIV infection. Major lymph nodes are located in the armpit, groin, and neck areas. Often, lymph nodes in the neck are involved, become tender and may be called "swollen glands."

Lymph nodes are a part of your lymphatic system. This system plays an important role in your immune system. Lymph, a clear fluid that circulates throughout your body, is partly made of white blood cells that attack bacteria and viruses.

Lymph nodes are located in certain parts of the body, including your neck, groin, and armpits. They're shaped like beans and measure no more than 2.5 centimetres long. Your lymph nodes are responsible for filtering lymph and producing mature immune cells.

Lymph nodes protect both your blood and immune system by:
Swollen lymph nodes may also be the first signs of an infection, including HIV.

Sore Throat: People living with HIV may have a chronic or recurring sore throat, and it's not uncommon for people living with HIV and AIDS to develop thrush, an opportunistic, secondary infection. Candida is the fungus that causes thrush; flourishes when the immune system is compromised; is found in the mouth and throat; and contributes to difficult swallowing.

Rash: If a rash can't be easily explained or treated and you have participated in high-risk behaviour, you should consider an HIV test. Rashes can occur anywhere on the skin but are often found on the trunk of the body. These rashes may or may not itch.

Fatigue: The inflammatory response generated by the besieged immune system can also cause tiredness, general listlessness and a lack of energy to do tasks you may consider normal or routine. Fatigue can be debilitating and occurs as both an early and later sign of HIV infection and AIDS.

Muscle and Joint Aches and Pains: Other common symptoms of infection include muscle ache and joint or body pain, rheumatic disease. These can be caused by the HIV infection alone or by other viruses or bacteria, and inflammation often accompanies.

Headache: This symptom can present itself as unrelenting headaches. They are often caused by low CD4 T-cell counts but may also be the result of infections, nervous system maladies or malignancies, HIV-related systemic disease and toxicity caused by medication. A new or severe headache should always be carefully checked out.

Diarrhea, vomiting and nausea: Many people with an early HIV infection develop nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and lack of appetite. This can be caused by fungal, bacterial, viral and parasitic infections, which overwhelm an already-compromised immune system. In some cases, these symptoms can also be a side effect to HIV medication.

Night sweats: Night sweats means sweating which soaks the bedding while sleeping and is not related to exercise. Night sweats can be a side-effect of a fever due to another infection in the body, such as the bacterial infection Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), the fungal infection histoplasmosis or tuberculosis (TB).

No symptoms? Remember, a large amount of people are unaware of their infection and have experienced no signs of their illness.

The symptoms that accompany an HIV infection can last anywhere from a few days to several weeks. However, you cannot assume you have HIV from symptoms alone.

Each of these ailments can be caused by other illnesses too. The only certain way to know your HIV status is by getting an HIV test.

If you think you may have been exposed to HIV, regardless of whether you have experienced any symptoms, it is important to get tested as soon as possible.
