18 signs you are with the man you should marry
1. He always brags about you. If you get a promotion at work or even just win concert tickets he can’t resist telling everyone you hang out with before you even think to mention it. Because he’s your biggest fan (arguably next to your mom).
2. He makes sacrifices for you — and you’re happy to do the same for him. He’ll move cities to live with you if you get a new job or finish grad school. You’re happy to make the next move for one of his opportunities.
Common Hair Problems: Causes and Solutions
For a woman, her hair is a valuable asset. It’s not only a part of her, well, body but an important element of her image. Hair trends change from time to time but no matter what is trendy now, the most important thing about your hair is health. Beautiful hair is the healthily-looking hair. Basically, there are five issues your hair suffers from.
1. Yellow tones in dyed blonde hair.
In order to prevent the unwanted yellow tone on your perfect blonde hair, you need to start using special hair-care products containing a violet pigment 2 weeks after dyeing – it neutralizes yellowish color. Apart from it, use shampoos for fair hair as they are designed to keep its natural radiance and to ensure proper nourishment. Men who date ladies onlineadmit that yellow blonde hair is not attractive at all.

2. Bushy hair.
Unruly and electrified hair means that you probably use very high temperatures while drying or straightening your hair. If your hair is prone to fuzziness, it lacks moisture. To make up a deficiency, apply a moisturizing mask several times a week. Don’t brush your hair right after washing it, wait until it dries a bit. Use a wooden comb with thin spaced teeth. Before using a hair straightener or curling iron, protect your locks applying some thermal spray.

8 Problems You Might Face When Starting Your Own Fashion Label
Starting out with your own fashion label might come with some forms of difficulty. This article outlines some common problems startup fashion labels do experience and their possible solutions.
1. Business and Financial Management
As a young fashion designer, one thing you will certainly lack is business and Financial Management. You may be a great designer but may not know how to generate leads for sale. The fashion industry is so competitive nowadays, so it’s important you hire someone to do the business side of your fashion label for you.

2. Identifying your Target Market
Start your label once you get an actual idea of the market, demography and demand. As a designer you expect your customers to appreciate whatever you design but the fact is totally different. Once you start your own fashion label, you realize the people who can afford your wears are really not the ideal body shapes neither are they experimental. your idea or hypothesis of the general market goes for a toss when your customers are totally different from what you expect. So a proper research is a must be carried out to properly identify your target market.

3. Positioning
A Designer should focus more on unique positioning of His/her styles rather than an immediate sale and should emphasize more on returning customers and relationships because the fashion industry runs on that. There are so many designers out there doing same stuff and charging similar amount. It is advised that you have a distinct style. If not, then develop one before developing a brand.

4. Your Network
Networking is one of the most essential personal skills for business people, but it is extremely important for fashion designers. Communication and strong presence in the fashion ecosystem are productive approaches which will help you along your way to building strong relationships with other fashion designers from different age groups, nationality and fields of interest.

5. Not Enough Funds
Countless people with incredible ideas languish because they are not able to access the necessary funds to enter the marketplace. Fashion is a Business where you need money in every step. To make a quality design, to market it, promote it. And when we are talking about Marketing it’s a combination of (advertising, promotion, media etc). and do you know guys for a particular dress how much money a fashion designer spend is actually Much lesser than the Money He/She spend in Marketing. Because No Marketing No sell.
6. Distribution Challenges
Designing and producing your clothes is totally up to you but you cannot fully control the distribution of your clothes. Distribution is usually a challenge for Designers. You have to work hard to get your brands into clothing stores and that might cost you more than a little effort and time. When the goods don’t sell at retail, the designer is forced to take them back and turn around to sell them to a “discounter,” further extending the cycle of “more for less.” This obviously doesn’t work.

7. Less Connection With End-users
Before going to any seller the designers access the group to whom they actually target, but the fact is way different at selling points. Because for any product the end user is not the only decision maker who will buy and wear, in most of the cases the decision makers buy the garment or dress and the end user wears it. So this process is ridiculously complex and the designers need to understand whom to target and whom to not for every product or for every line of collections. In that way they can increase their connection with the end user which not only benefits them but also the retailers will get the benefit out of this process.
8. Getting Good Manufacturers
Getting good and reliable people to handle the production of your designs might also be a challenging experience. If you decide to handle the production yourself, that would actually mean a lot more capital because of the costs of equipment and if you decide to outsource to companies abroad where it is usually cheaper, you would have the problem of minimum order quantity because these companies usually have a minimum order that they can take which is sometimes in hundreds. How sure are you that you would be able to sell a hundred pieces of the same design easily? Again, you would need a lot more capital to do this.

Position Of The Law On The Use Of Hijab/Veil In Public Institutions- O.G Chukkol
BY _O. G. CHUKKOL._
One of the challenges Muslim females are facing is the wearing of hijab. Hijab is a veil they use in covering their body. These challenges are found even in public institutions. The proscription of the use of veils is normally done through rules made in those institutions.
For example there has been complaint that hijab is not allowed in Nigerian Law School, it happened also in Kwara, Lagos, Osun State etc where students were not allowed to wear hijab to schools.
This article seeks to establish that prohibiting Muslim females from wearing veils in public institutions is unconstitutional. Whether the position is the same in private institutions or not is outside the scope of this article.
To clear a preliminary point, I am a Christian and shall by the grace of God die a Christian. This work is based on my little understanding of the law and love for rule of law. The work is also informed by my agreement with the words of Martin Luther King Jr. who once said:
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly."
In other words, it is Muslim female facing it today, tomorrow it may be Christians. So, I feel spade should be called a spade.
Let us first examine the basis of the use of hijab by Muslim women. Chapter 24 verse 30-31 of the Glorious Holy Qur'an says:
“... Enjoin believing women to COVER THEIR GAZE and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that THEY SHOULD DRAW THEIR VEILS OVER THEIR BOSOMS AND NOT DISPLAY THEIR BEAUTY except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband’s father, their sons, their husband’s Sons, their brothers or their brother’s Sons or their sisters’ sons or other women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, ..."
It follows from the verse above that wearing of hijab by Muslim women is a Quranic injunction so a Muslim female is bound to obey it without question.
The next point is whether a Muslim female can capitalize on the provision of Glorious Qur’an to insist that she is entitled to wear Hijab everywhere. The answer is obviously in the affirmative.
Subsection (1) of section 38 of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (2011 as amended), it provides as follows:
"Every person shall be entitled to freedom of thought, conscience and religion...and IN PUBLIC or IN PRIVATE) to MANIFEST AND PROPAGATE his RELIGION or BELIEF in worship, teaching, PRACTICE and OBSERVANCE" (emphasis mine)
The constitution is a ground norm and by section 1(1) & (3) thereof, it is Supreme and binding on all authorities and persons in Nigeria and as well above the ordinary laws of the land. Since the constitution recognizes ones right to manifest ones religion and belief in practice and observance, a Muslim female, being a Nigerian too, has the right to wear her hijab anywhere.
In the case of PDP V CPC (2011) 17 NWLR (pt 1277) 485 at 511 it was held;
_“The Constitution of Nigeria is the grundnorm, otherwise known as the basic norm from which all the other laws of the society derive their validity. Each legal norm of the Society derives its validity from basic norm. Any other law that is in conflict with the provision of the Constitution must give way or abate”._
Courts have consistently held that, having regards to chapter 24:30-31 of the Holy Quran, a Muslim female has the unfettered right to wear her hijab anywhere.
The Court of Appeal Ilorin Division in the Unreported case of *THE PROVOST, KWARA STATE COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, ILORIN & 2 ORS VS BASHIRAT SALIU & 2 ORS Appeal No CA/IL/49/2006,
delivered on the 18th day of June, 2009, per Hussein Mukhtar, JCA,held at page 15 – 16 of the lead judgement thus:
“The foregoing verses of the Glorious Qur’an and Hadiths have left no room for doubt on the Islamic Injunction on women’s mode of dress, which is clearly in conformity with not only the Respondent’s veiled dress but also the controversial article J of the 3rd Applicants’ dress code. The use of veil by the respondents, therefore qualifies as a fundamental right under Section 38 (1) of the Constitution”.
The Court of Appeal further held per Massoud AbdulRahman Oredola, JCA at page 2 of the concurrent judgement;
“The right of the Respondents to wear their Hijab, veil within the School campus and INDEED ANYWHERE else is adequately protected under our laws. Human rights recognizes and protects religious rights. Section 38 of the
1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria guaranteed freedom of religion to all and sundry. Thus things that lawfully constitute OPEN MANIFESTATION, PROPAGATION, WORSHIP, TEACHING, PRACTICE AND OBSERVANCE of
the said religion are equally and by extension similarly guaranteed and protected by the Constitution. Indeed the Hijab, Niqab or Burqa, being part and parcel of Islamic code of dressing and by whatever standard a dignified
or vividly decent one cannot be taken away by any other law other than the Constitution”
Just last year, 2016, Justice Falola of the Osun State High Court restated the law as pronounced in the Court of Appeal decision above while delivering judgement in the case of Sheikh Oyinwola & Ors V The Governor of Osun state & Ors SUIT NO. HOS/M.17/2013 delivered on the 3rd of June, 2016. Bound by the time honoured principle of Judicial Precedent, the court held that the use of Islamically prescribed head cover called Hijab by the Muslim Female Students in all Primary and Secondary
Schools in Osun State forms part of their fundamental rights to
freedom of religion, conscience and thought as contained in Section
38 of 1999 Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) and also declared that Article 8.2(v) of the “Guidelines on Administration
and Discipline in Osun State Public Schools“ issued by the Ministry
of Education prohibiting Muslim females from wearing hijab in public schools is not only discriminatory against Muslim female students but also uncalled for, inconsistent with Section 38 of 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and a clear violation of the fundamental rights of Muslim female
students in Public Schools in Osun State to freedom of religion and therefore null, void and of no effect whatsoever.
A month after, A specially constituted panel of the Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos on Thursday, July 21, 2016 unanimously reaffirmed its decision delivered in 2009 at Ilorin, Kwara state Division. It reversed the judgment of a Lagos State High Court in Ikeja which on October 17, 2014 banned the use of hijab in Lagos State public primary and secondary schools.
The appellate declared in a unanimous judgment on Thursday that the ban was discriminatory against Muslim pupils in the state.
It accordingly reinstated the use of hijab in Lagos schools.
This writer is not unaware that section 38 of the constitution (right to religion) is not absolute. The right is subject to section 45 of the constitution which gives government the right to disregard citizen's right to religion in the interest of defence, public safety,
public order, public morality or public health; or for the purpose of protecting the rights and freedom of other persons. For instance during the Bokoharam insurgency in the North East, government was right when it temporarily banned the use hijab because then some suicide bombers hid bombs therein.
Another example is the fact that every person has the right on religious ground (say Jehovah Witness sect refusal of blood transfusion) not to submit to treatment recommended by a doctor even if the refusal of treatment can lead to the death of the patient. However for the purpose of public interest, and relying on the authority of the Supreme Court decision in M.D.P.D.T. v. Okonkwo (2001) 6 NWLR (Pt.710), such right would be held in abeyance if the disease, like Ebola and the like, is contagious.
In the light of what has so far been stated and in the absence of any exceptional circumstance as the ones mentioned above, every Muslim female has the unfettered right to wear her hijab anywhere. Prohibition of wearing of hijab in some public institutions is unconstitutional. The institutions concerned are hereby advised to reverse those rules.

how to win a woman heart
These are proven ways of winning the hearts of a woman in a cost-effective way rather than plunging oneself into huge debts for romance.
Contrary to the belief that a fortune has to be spent before a man could get a lady into his bed, there are some tips that would help the man arrive at the same destination without taking the money route. Dealing with women requires wisdom and goes beyond making an impression with wealth.
Not every woman would jump into a man’s bed because he displays affluence; not everyone is swayed by material wealth or things considered vain.
It would be of great benefits for men to know there are other things that could be done to sweep a woman off her feet and into your arms.
To start with, every woman has a soft spot; perhaps a magic button that casts a s*xy spell on her when pushed. The right attitude most times clears the path and makes things easier.
Find below some tips that could get a woman into your bed without necessarily spending much:
1. Mannerism
Women love it when men act courteously towards them. Men who exhibit simple gentlemanly behaviors find it easy to make butterflies flurry in these women’s stomachs or send them into frenzy. Women find themselves falling for men who seem to appreciate them and deflect the right emotion towards them. Some women simply want attention; finding a man who gives them attention in a civilized manner could make them jump into his bed.
2. The Right Words
Ever wondered why many people (especially women) listen to old blues and lyrics of artistes like Phil Collins, Tracy Chapman and others? It’s simply because their words convey emotions with deep roots. Words have a way of getting to people, they cause you to think deeply or awaken a sensation within you. Love letters in the past were written using many of these musical lines and they give the recipient a beautiful feeling. Women are moved by words and emotions. Saying the right words to them at the right time would help you land them in your bed faster than anticipated.
3. Being Romantic
After getting a woman to like you and the friendship kicks off, another thing that makes the bedroom journey quicker is being a romantic. Most women love it when men are all over them. Study the body language of these women; read the signs and learn when to stop. Some women love to flirt too; while being romantic, be cautious so you don’t suggest you are all about the sex. Women love men who are reasonable and have control over their feelings. With all these done, it wouldn’t be long before you have them in your bed.
4. Set The Mood
Most women still enjoy being pampered by men. A simple dinner with soft music, exotic dish, wine and flowers would make a beautiful scene. Naturally, some women would be on the defensive considering the set-up but having a light or non-personal conversation would ease up the tension. If you are a smooth talker, you may make an interesting company while the wine gets you both feeling light headed and charged with Dutch courage.
5. Know What Works For A Woman
Some women are touchy; they get turned on by touches and caresses. In this situation, your hands would take charge and do the magic for you. While playing, you may discover the sensitive spots on her body and that becomes her weakness. During making out sessions, touch these parts and she wouldn’t be able to resist you.
6. Patience
These days, almost every girl is conscious of being used and dumped. Women are quick to assume that men basically want to sleep with them and go. Having this at the back of their minds may make your charms seem ineffective. Try not to be pushy or ruffled when things don’t happen at the time they are expected to. Remain calm and sweet and the ladies’ walls of defense would eventually cave in. it could be their own way of testing you.
7. Make Her Friends Your Friends
Another awesome way of getting to a woman is by making her friends your friends; be nice to them. Remember they chit-chat about almost everything and they have heard about you from the very first moment you both met. Their opinion of you probably made her hang out with you a second time. If her friends don’t like you, they may probably discourage her and you may never get to see her pants.

WHY POSTING DETAILS OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA
Just because you have made little progress, doesn’t mean you need to announce it to the whole world. Ladies, I know we get excited sometimes but please let’s us keep luscious details of our relationships off the social media. Yes, I know you have a man now but must all your social media apps know everything you are doing with Bae? or must we get notifications about everywhere you are going with Bae? NO! The day you break up; social media will also know, so please, I advise that you keep your relationship business- Private. In fact, some of the ladies that post things like: “Bae is amazing”, “Bae is Bae”, “Bae bought me a Gucci bag”, “Bae & I enroute Paris”…some of them are in a relationship with themselves and some of them are being beaten up black & blue, so please stop comparing yourself to these social media pretenders. I have seen this in real life and I cried for the lady when I heard, so I know what I am saying. However, some ladies are genuinely very happy, yet they don’t flood your timelines with their “Bae gists”. Just because it is not being posted, doesn’t mean it is not happening.
So ladies, please stop changing your DP with pictures of you and “Bae” every time, I am not saying you shouldn’t show off your relationship if that’s what makes you happy but if you are not yet married to him, tone in down a bit please. Even the Bible says a beautiful woman without discretion, is like a diamond ring in a pig’s snout (Proverbs 11:22). And if you are married to him; it’s okay to lavish honour and accolades on your spouse on the social media or to your friends but do it more in reality. Overall, my darling Wives & Wives-in-waiting, be discreet, keep the details of your relationship private as much as you can. Times have changed, social media is now people’s best friends & town-crier spot. Just because you see the ‘likes’, doesn’t mean some people are not mocking you, so don’t dwell on it. By all means, ignore your haters but keep “Bae” private until he makes you his wife and when you are his wife, be discreet with what you post online about your relationship. Anyway, let me stop here for now, I hope you all get the point. This is just my opinion and I am aware that it is not for everyone. A word is enough for the wise, may God help us all.
WE KNOW WHEN YOU'VE LOST INTEREST
It’s kind of funny…the things guys think we don’t know.
Like when they fall off. Stop texting as much. Stop calling as much. Slowly begin to pull back. Even if it’s ever so slowly…a little at a time. We know. Even if we don’t want to admit it to ourselves, we know what it means.
It can be even a slight withdrawal of time and attention, and we feel it. As women, nothing gets by us. We’ve been around this block a few times before. We know that you’re not just “having a busy day.” We know that you didn’t leave your phone at home. We know it’s not just simply that you have your mind on other things. We KNOW.
We know there’s someone else now on the receiving end of those texts and calls. We know your time and attention is going somewhere, just not to us. We know when we’re being juggled. We know when we’re being ghosted on. We know when the energy shifts from us to someone else, no matter how subtly. We know when you’ve lost interest. We KNOW.
It’s kind of funny…the things guys think we don’t know.
We know. We always know. And we might let you slide out of our DM’s as easily as you slid in. We might look the other way or let it go or choose not to let you know that we know.
We might even let you off the hook for choosing to disappear instead of just telling us you were going.
But we know. Trust that.
We’re women. Nothing gets by us.
Especially a man on his way out the door.
MARRIAGE WONT SOLVE YOUR LONELINESS
Hi Ladies,
It’s another Saturday, lots of weddings to attend and someone out there might just be feeling left out because it’s not their turn, or they might be feeling left out because they don’t have a “Bae”, whereas this shouldn’t be the case. To buttress my point, I’ll say this….
“Marriage doesn’t solve your Loneliness, so don’t rush into Marriage because you are lonely. There are so many Lonely-Married people and you don’t want to be one of them.”
You see, I have heard a lot of singles ladies say they are lonely because they are not in a relationship like some of their peers, some of them also feel the solution is to get married but I disagree because Marriage is not the solution to loneliness. I have heard of many cases where a Wife is so lonely and lacks companionship in her home, despite being married and living with her spouse. So, please ladies, don’t rush into marriage because it’s trending or because you attend weddings every Saturday and feel like it’s the next achievement on your bucket list. Marry because you are ready and because you are fully prepared for what it entails. Trust me, it’s beyond a 6-hour event, so please prepare. If you feel lonely, get busy. Get involved in productive activities, go on holiday, hang out with good friends, watch a movie; read a book and work on your purpose. Enjoy the free time you have now and maximise it. Don’t let your age / family pressure you. Relax, be patient; you will get married at the right time according to God’s will.
GIVE HIM SOME SPACE
Sometimes, when a lady is not in a relationship and doesn’t have many friends, she could get lonely if she doesn’t engage her mind in other entertaining / profitable activities and that’s understandable. However, there are a lot of ladies who are generally very “needy / clingy”, that they feel a man is the solution to their loneliness but it really isn’t because there are times the man will be busy and he won’t have their time as much as they want. Then these ladies begin to feel like he is cheating or he doesn’t have time for them anymore, so they track his life down with phone calls / text messages on repeat…
Wives-in-waiting, this should not be the case. Please give the guy some breathing space; you are not yet married to him. If you feel he is cheating on you; don’t worry, pray about it; I am sure God will expose him. Besides, if a man wants to be with you, see you or hear from you; he will call you, so don’t give yourself hypertension because he hasn’t picked your calls all day; maybe he is busy. Although some men, seriously need to work on communicating with their women more. They need to re-assure her and make her feel secure. Regardless ladies, don’t stress; just get busy, engage yourself in some work, even if you don’t have a job. Let him miss you too, and don’t be resentful by not answering his phone call after you gave him 5 or 10 missed calls back-to-back; hear him out first. Lastly Ladies, men love their space, so let him have some “me-time”. Besides, there is always one Man who needs your attention and will always have your time 24/7; His name is JESUS, so cast your cares upon Him.

5 important men's fashion rules to live by
Here we have listed six important men’s fashion rules to live by which should at least clear up some confusion about a few things.
1. Always match your belt with your shoes
This is a good rule to follow and it keeps things simple. It’s best to stay with traditional colours such a black, dark brown or a rich tan. Other colours will be difficult to match, and generally speaking, should be avoided. If you wear sneakers every day that probably means you are wearing jeans in which case I suggest trying a belt made of fabric or something equally as casual, but please avoid dress belts with jeans and sneakers. If you wear suspenders, I am compelled to ask you why, but I digress. Just don’t wear a belt and suspenders together, it’s one or the other.
2. Don’t always match ties and shirts
For a while, the solid-colored shirt with a tie of the same (or slightly-off) colour was seen everywhere. This is now a somewhat dated look. Try mixing things up a little and experiment with colours. Ties are great way to express yourself, but keeping it tasteful is your best bet. You can’t go wrong with diagonal stripes, modern polka-dots, plaids and subtle patterns. Just make sure your tie compliments your shirt, suit, sweater or whatever you will be wearing it with. Novelty ties are best avoided since the novelty is short lived.
3. Socks
The more official rule on socks is that they should match the colour of your pants, though preferably not the exact same shade unless, of course, you are wearing black in which case it’s okay. However, I personally like to wear socks with patterns, such as stripes in various colours. But I do try to match my socks with my pants and shoes. Note: Although it should be obvious, white socks should be reserved for the gym.
4. Watches
Watches are the single most important accessory a man can own. I really suggest investing in one good watch that suits your lifestyle and taste. However, if you are someone who likes to own more than one watch, wear the appropriate timepiece for your outfit: black band with black shoes and belt; brown band with brown shoes and belt; and silver band for either.
5. Eyeglasses
Eyeglasses are one of the few ways you can really express yourself. I have worn glasses for many years and I love having a few pair in different styles. They don’t have to just serve a function but can enhance your overall look. Do your best to find a pair of glasses that not only compliments the shape of your face but also expresses your personality. Ask people who wear glasses for a place where you can get good advice about what shape and style look best for your face shape and features.
6 Reasons to start avoiding potato chips
Reasons not to eat potato chips
To understand the nature of stackable chips, forget the belief that they are made from actual potatoes in any recognizable way. One company to avoid taxes levied against luxury foods once even argued that the potato content of their chips was so low that they technically are not even potato chips. So if they are not made of potatoes, what are we eating exactly?
Potato chips are full of cancer causing chemical
One of the most suspicious ingredients in potato chips is not intentionally added, but is a byproduct of the processing. Neurotoxin chemical- acryl amide causing cancer potentially is created when foods rich in carbohydrate are cooked at high temperatures, whether fried, baked, toasted or roasted. As a general rule, the chemical is formed when food is heated enough to produce a fairly dry and brown- yellow surface. Hence, it can be found in potato chips.
Potato chips are high in calories
If you have ever checked the serving size for chips you would notice it is usually like ten chips for 145 calories. Whoever eats only ten chips? You know you have never done that! So the bottom line is you want to avoid eating potato chips. Also avoid tortilla and corn based chips. These chips can cause all kinds of health problems like clogged arteries, weaker heart and dozens of other things you do not want. If you stop eating chips you will have a much better chance of losing belly fat. It should come as no surprise- research has shown that the more potato chips people includes in their diet the more weight they gain.
Potato chips have no nutritional benefit at all
If you regularly consume chips as part of your diet, you are not taking as many nutrients as you should. Chips are in fact low in vitamins and minerals, potato chips have no vitamin C and a small amount of protein, they tend to displace things in the diet that are full of nutrients. Eating healthy snacks can help make up for any nutritional lack at meal times, so if you choose chips instead of snacks with a high nutrient quality, you won’t get this benefit.
Potato chips cause high blood pressure
The sodium content in chips negatively impacts your cardiovascular health. A high intake of sodium causes an increase in blood pressure that can lead to stroke, heart failure, coronary heart and kidney disease. Potato chips generally have between 130 and 170 milligrams of sodium per ounce. One bag of chips certainly contains more than a single ounce, so many of you consume more sodium than you realize while eating chips. Most people should limit their salt consumption to 2,200 milligrams per day, while individuals over 50 and anyone with high blood pressure, diabetes and kidney disease should not eat more than 1,400 milligrams per day.
Potato chips cause high cholesterol as they are cooked in trans fat oil
Frequent consumption of chips can contribute to high cholesterol levels because of the amount and type of fat found in chips. Most chips are fried deeply, a process that creates trans fats, the most dangerous one. In addition, the oils used for frying chips are often saturated fats that also contribute to high levels of cholesterol. A 2010 study published in one journal found that high levels of trans fats in the bloodstream were associated with high levels of LDL or bad cholesterol and an increased risk of coronary disease. High levels of trans fat in your diet are correlated to high levels in your blood.
Potato chips cause dehydration
There is also science that shows that chips cause dehydration and even sore throats. Everyone who eats potato chips should drink more water than usually, regardless of whether they are thirsty or not.
High Heels: 8 ways to avoid foot pains.
Here are a few tips to help make high heels comfortable.
1. Cushion up: There are many gel pads and cushion inserts you can use to pad your heels every day. If you can’t find any around you, improvise. Just do something to get rid of that ball sting.
2. Break in your shoes: The entrance of a new pair of heels into my life sees me strutting around the house trying to loosen them up before I launch out into the deep. This is to avoid hunching in pain only 10 minutes after stepping out.
3. Take baby steps: When walking in your heels, take smaller steps so there is less pressure on your foot. Long strides create extra weight which speeds up the chances of aches and pains. Also try never to run in heels!
4. Try the tape trick: When you wear your high heels, try to tape your 3rd and 4th toe together. This will allow the front of your feet to “fit” better in your shoes (no more painful toes!)
5. Get some backup: Always go out with backup flats. She who rocks her heels and later changes to flats will live to rock them another day! No jokes!
6. Remember to limit yourself: Don’t wear heels every day, unless you want to have problems in the future such as correcting bunions, ingrown toenails, replace worn out toe-joints, knee or even back surgery.
7. Pamper your feet: End your high heel wearing sessions with a warm foot bath. Fill a tub full of warm water and just relax and soak your feet, massaging them gently.
8. Moisturise: To wrap this up, moisturise your feet before sleeping, further massaging them. All that stiff movement in your heels can lead to dry, rough heels and dry lines all over your foot. If you feel like taking it a step further after moisturising, wear socks to sleep to really let your foot ‘soak’ in the moisture and recover from all that pain.
FOR HEALTHY TEETH, DON'T BRUSH AFTER EATING
Don't brush your teeth immediately after meals and drinks, especially if they were acidic. Acidic foods—citrus fruits, sports drinks, tomatoes, soda (both diet and regular)—can soften tooth enamel "like wet sandstone," says Howard R. Gamble, immediate past president of the Academy of General Dentistry. Brushing your teeth at this stage can speed up acid's effect on your enamel and erode the layer underneath. Gamble suggests waiting 30 to 60 minutes before brushing. Don't say I didn't informed you...... Wink
