Botox, face lifts, skin creams, and face peels — these are just a handful of the many treatments and products used in the quest for younger-looking skin. A new study, however, suggests that the key to a youthful appearance may lie in our genes.

1. Don’t smoke .
Experiments from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is higher)

2. Don’t eat fruits immediately.
Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore take fruits 1 -2 hours after meal or 1 hour before meal.

3. Don’t drink tea.
 Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid. This substance will cause the protein content in the food we consume to be hundred thus difficult to digest.

4. Don’t loosen your belt.
Loosening the belt after meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted and blocked.

5. Don’t bath.
 Bathing after meal will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs and body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease, this will weaken the digestive system in our stomach.

6. Don’t walk about.
 People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actual fact this is not true. Walking will cause the digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake.

7. Don’t sleep immediately
 The food we intake will not be to digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric and infection in our intestine.

In a bid to check drug abuse on campus, the University of Lagos has provided a drug test kit in its medical centre to examine students suspected to be on hard drugs.

Prof. Rahaman Bello, outgoing Vice-Chancellor of the institution, confirmed this at a forum with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.

Bello said that the initiative was necessary because drug abuse was on the increase in the nation’s tertiary institutions.

“Drug abuse is a major problem for every institution, particularly, those in the cities. We have gone ahead in the University of Lagos to address it.

“With the test kit, anyone who is suspected, his or her urine or blood depending on what we want to do, is collected for test.
“The thing about drug is that when you take it, it will be in your blood for a long time, so you cannot say , I did not use it once the test kit detects it.
“Before, we start using the test kit, everyone we picked denied using drug since we could not find any evidence,” he said.
According to him, with the test kit, the university has been able to pin down victims, but granted them amnesty.

He said that although the university’s regulation provided that any student found dealing with drug should be expelled, the management had to warn and rehabilitate them.

“With the rehabilitation, the victims are given two or three semesters to ‘get clean’. By this, we mean they will visit the medical centre on monthly basis to get tested.
“If after two or three visits, you are found clean, we will admit you back to the system, if not you are sent out.
“This we do not to unnecessarily punish them, but to assist them to find a way to regain themselves,” he said.
Bello said that about 100 students of the university were detected to be using hard drugs in 2016.

Monkeypox is a rare viral zoonosis (a virus transmitted to humans from animals) with symptoms in humans similar to those seen in the past in smallpox patients, although less severe. 

Are there rodents in your vicinity? Do you live in Nigeria or anywhere in West or Central Africa? Then you should care about monkeypox.
Yes, it was first identified in laboratory monkeys, hence the name, but it’s actively transmitted to humans by rodents or primates and by a secondary human-to-human transmission.
So how do you get it? 
1. It’s infectious meaning it can come to you. The monkeypox virus is transmitted via contact with an infected animal’s blood, flesh, bite, or an infected human.
2. It’s a virus. Viral infections are generally harder to treat than bacteria’s and the monkeypox virus is a rare type.
3. It can cause fatal illnesses and quick deaths, especially in younger age groups.
4. It has NO treatment or vaccine but outbreaks can be controlled.
 5. The incubation period is 5 -21 days. Symptoms typically last 14 – 21 days with severe cases occurring among children with longer virus exposure.
6. Monkeypox virus can only be diagnosed definitively in the laboratory by a number of different tests.

Symptoms It manifests as various stages of rash and an intense weakness among other things. Rashes, ranging from a few to several thousands, begins on the face, then palms and feet soles. The lesions (or rashes) later become fluid-filled blisters and lastly crusts which can affect the oral membranes, genitalia, eyelids and eyeballs.

What do you do?
 1. Cook animal flesh or blood properly before consuming. Monkeypox virus remain active in infected primates or rodent even after their death.
 2. Stay away from body fluids, lesions, respiratory tract secretions, or objects recently contaminated by monkeypox patients. Transmission occurs via droplets respiratory particles.
3. Don’t pick up stray animals especially if you live in the tropics.
4. Immediately quarantine infected animals or humans. Close physical contact is a significant risk factor and protective equipment must be worn while providing care for patients.
5. Regular handwashing is encouraged.
6. If you have been in the proximity of an infected person, go for definitive testing in the laboratory.

The heart is one of the most important organs in the body, as it is responsible for the pumping of blood and delivering all the nutrients your body needs in order to function correctly.
Nevertheless, some of our habits take their toll on our hearts and we do not realize it until it's too late.

Below are seven habits that you never knew destroys the heart.

1. Increased Alcohol Consumption: Having a drink every once in a while will not have a major impact on your heart (especially if you consume wine which has a series of health benefit benefits), but if you consume alcohol regularly, then your heart will suffer on the long run.
In addition to the devastating effects of alcohol on your liver, it can also harm your bones, affect your memory and it considerably increases the risk of heart diseases along with the risk of hypertension.

2. Eating Too Much Salt: Food is tasteless without a pinch of salt, and that is a known fact. However, many of us overuse this ingredient, and that puts us at risk for high blood pressure which is a risk factor for heart attack and stroke; therefore yo might want to think twice before adding extra salt to your meals.

3. Lack Of Exercise: The lack of exercise is another underlying cause of heart disease, not to mention that people who do not do regular physical exercises ar prone to develop type 2 diabetes as well. The less we exercise, the more likely we are to gain weight, and extra pounds are known as to destroy the heart slowly but surely.

4. Leaving Your Depression and Anxiety Untreated:Anxiety, depression and stress can have a tremendous impact on your heart. However if these issues are addressed in real time, their effects can be minimized. On the other hand, if left untreated they lower your immunity and energy levels, decrease your appetite and also have an impact on your nervous system.

5. Comfort Eating: It often happens that we eat even when we are not hungry and the main problem is that we eat unhealthy food ls like Sugary products, high fat products and foods rich in salt.

6. Smoking: Smoking is a silent killer. Statistics reveal that smoking is responsible for approximately 30% ofbth deaths related to heart disease and also a high risk factor of cancer.

7. Lack Of Sleep: For a healthy heart, adults should get around 7-8 hours of sleeper night. Lack of sleep can cause sleep deprivation, hormonal imbalances, confusion and also raises stress hormone.

.While it is not something to be casually discussed over dinner, it's an inescapable fact for us women that you-know-what smells.
Television and radio advertisements of feminine care products make us cringe, but in the end we all have our own choice of brand.
It gets a little unsettling when it happens, but the more you ignore it the more it gets at the back of your head especially if you care too much about hygiene.
Vaginal odor may indicate health problems but fret not, because there are other mild reasons why it smells down there.
1. Excessive washing. And who would’ve thought excessive washing may make it worse. Turns out, this can still mess with the vag1na’s flora, causing an odor.
2. Allergy to condoms. Yes, condoms may help us prevent pregnancy. Unfortunately, some women are allergic to certain materials in condoms which can throw off vag1nal bacteria and cause odor.
3. Douching. For those who are unfamiliar with this word, the word ”douche” is French for ”wash” or ”soak.” It is a method to wash out the vag1na, usually with a mixture of water and vinegar.
Vag1nal douching can mess with the pH levels of the vagina and even cause a large amount of bacteria to grow. There is good and bad bacteria that can be down there, but the bad bacteria can cause a strong smell.
4. Tight clothing. Obviously. Wearing very tight pants or underwear, aside from it can cause a slight pain down there, can cause your vag1na to sweat that causes vag1nal odor.
5. Spicy food. Apologies for the women who like to eat spicy food, but it can cause a rapid increase of vag1nal discharge which can cause vag1nal odor.
6. Sleeping with underwear at night. This is actually unexpected but sorry ladies. According to reports, sleeping in the nude to air out the vag1na is the best way to go.
7. Laundry detergents and soaps. And all this time we thought the more fragrant our undies are, the cleaner it is. Laundry detergent with perfume or fabric softeners can irritate the vag1na, again causing odor. The best way is to wash your underwear separately with unscented detergent.
8. Pregnancy. During pregnancy, many of vitamins and minerals are passed along to your baby, and this can throw off the pH levels in your vag1na.
9. S*x. You may notice vag1nal odors accumulating directly after s*x. No more explanations required.

The prostate is an exocrine  gland of the male reproductive system and it exists directly under the bladder in front of the rectum. Prostate cancer is a disease which only affects men.

Tall men are at a higher risk of having aggressive prostate cancer, a new large scale study suggests.
Prostate cancer begins when cells in the prostate gland start to grow uncontrollably.
The study analysed data from 141, 896 men from eight different countries.
The research team found that while being tall did not increase the overall risk of getting prostate cancer, it did heighten the risk of high grade tumors that spread more quickly.
According to the scientists, there was a 13% higher risk of high grade tumours for every 10cm increase in men’s waist circumference, while the risk of dying from prostate cancer was 18% higher for each additional 10cm.
The scientists however say that increased height was not associated with overall risk of contracting prostate cancer, just the aggressive forms of the disease.
It was also found that men with higher body mass index and waist conference were at greater risk of being diagnosed than those with a lower body mass index.
“The finding of high risk in taller men may provide insights into the mechanisms underlying prostate cancer development – for example, related to early nutrition and growth,” said Aurora Pérez-Cornago, the lead researcher from Oxford University.
“We also found that a healthy body weight is associated with a reduced risk of high-grade prostate cancer and death from prostate cancer years later.”
