It’s really important that the liver is taken care of and there are a few foods that can help to cleanse the liver.

Summary:
- Garlic contains vitamin B-6, according to SF Gate, which works as an anti-inflammatory. The amino acids relax the blood vessels.
- Just one glass of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice can boost the creation of detoxification enzymes. They work to get rid of carcinogens and other toxins, according to the Huffington Post.
- Leafy Green Vegetables are one of the best things to consume if your intention is to cleanse the liver. The best part about them is there are several ways they can be prepared. Greens can be eaten raw in a salad, cooked, or juiced.
- Avocados are a nutrient-dense food that helps the body to create glutathione, according to holistic nutritionist Hermeet Suri. It also contains Vitamin C and Vitamin E. Combined, these nutrients act as an antioxidant and protect the cells of the liver from harm.
- Nuts aid normal liver cleansing actions and contain unsaturated fats which are healthy. These can help prevent accumulated fat in the liver, and to develop strong cell membranes in the liver cells.
- Turmeric protects the bile duct and increases bile flow. It can also prevent alcohol and toxins from converting into compounds that can damage the liver.
- Drinking a glass of freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice in the morning can stimulate the liver.
- Green tea possesses many health benefits. If you want to make the switch to green tea, make sure to stick to the drink. This means you shouldn’t use green tea extract because research has shown that the extract may actually have negative effects on the liver.
- According to a study conducted for the World Journal of Gastroenterology, berries (specifically blueberries and cranberries) contained anthocyanins. These antioxidants have been shown to demonstrate “anticarcinogenic and anti-inflammatory biological activity.”
- In a University of Iowa study, researchers found that mice who were given doses of ursolic acid, a compound found in apple skins, avoided developing liver disease related to obesity, even though they ate more than other mice in the study.
- A study published in the International Journal of Endocrinology showed that people with a higher amount of whole grains in their diet “tend to have a lower risk of many of the comorbidities associated with [Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease].”
- Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, and even Brussel sprouts have been shown to protect the liver from damage and increase detoxifying enzymes in the organ in studies published in the Journal of Food Science and the World Journal of Gastroenterology.
- According to a study published in the scientific journal Nutrients, beetroot juice has been shown to lower damage and inflammation in the liver. Like cruciferous vegetables, beet juice also increases the level of detoxifying enzymes.
- Drinking coffee regularly can “reduce [Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease] prevalence and inflammation of non‐alcoholic steatohepatitis”.
- The omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in oily fish were shown to “reduce lipid accumulation and liver enzyme levels, improve insulin sensitivity, and have anti-inflammatory effects,” according to a study published in the World Journal of Gastroenterology.
- Staying well-hydrated is important enough for any function of the human body, but drinking enough water throughout the day can also keep your liver healthy.

3. Change your loofah every 3 weeks. When you use a loofah to scrub off the dead skin cells on your skin, these cells become lodged in the loofah, which makes it a perfect place for bacteria to grow, according to dermatologist Melissa Piliang, MD. Loofahs also contain all sorts of fungal organisms that can actually lead to some pretty bad skin infections, Dr Piliang says. She recommends cleaning your loofah weekly and replacing it every month.
2. Work top to bottom: According to Dr. Lauren Ploch, a board-certified dermatologist with the American Academy of Dermatology, you should focus on showering top to bottom to let the soap work its way down. And while it's important to clean your arms and legs, you should focus on cleaning the dirtiest areas like your feet, underarms, and groin. Seems like common sense, right? You'd be surprised!
1. Shave last. According to Dr. Jessica Krant, another board-certified dermatologist with the American Academy of Dermatology, your hair needs to soften before shaving. Shave at the end of a short shower so that your hair is damp but not too swollen from the heat. This can cause your hair to swell, leading to ingrowns.

Summary:
7. The French Kiss: The infamous French kiss probably grossed a lot of us out when we were little kids. Most of us, if not all, are pretty familiar with the French kiss. It’s pretty popular amongst couples because of its intensity and for being the most passionate of all the kisses. Did you know that the French kiss was originally called “Florentine Kiss”? That’s right! And it
originally came from British and American soldiers who were coming home after WWI.
6. The quick kiss: And then there’s the quick kiss. According to Women Daily Magazine, a quick kiss isn’t necessarily a romantic one, but it’s pretty great when you first start dating. Or, it’s a way for couples to greet each other in public. Your mouth is usually closed and just the lips touch. Women Daily Magazine notes that the kiss should last more than 3 seconds if it is between a couple. It’s a way to say hello or goodbye, and doesn’t result in a long make out session.
5. Kiss on the cheek. Similar to a quick kiss, a kiss on the cheek is a way to greet or say goodbye to a person. Whether you are with your grandmother, your mom, or even your dog…a kiss on the cheek is always a great way to show someone you care about them.
4. The vacuum kiss: A vacuum kiss definitely only happens between people who are into one another. It typically occurs at one point or another during a makeout session. According to kissing.com, a vacuum kiss happens when you suck the air out of your partner’s mouth. Sometimes it could happen by accident, but usually, it’s a sign of an intense, passionate make-out.
3. The forehead kiss: Herinterest.com gives us an understanding of what exactly a forehead kiss means. When your partner kisses you on the forehead, it means that they care and respect you. Of course, it means love as well, but there’s something so sensual and sweet about a forehead kiss. It has a deeper meaning.
2. A kiss on the hand: Just like a kiss on the forehead, a kiss on the hand can also signify respect and adoration, although this type of kiss is not necessarily just between two people who may like each other more than friends. It is a gesture which can indicate courtesy, respect, admiration or devotion between two people. It doesn't necessarily have to be shared between two people who are attracted to each other, and is generally used as a sign of respect. Fun fact, the kiss originated during the 17th and 18th century in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
1. The Eskimo Kiss: Eskimo kisses have been around for quite some time, and are typically used as the romantic option for those who live in cold climates. It occurs when two noses rub against each other, moving back and forth. Most people believe that this type of kiss was used because people who lived in cold areas had to do it or else they’d get their lips stuck together. That’s not the case, though! This kiss originated in colder cultures when people would meet outside with very little exposed except for their eyes and nose. An eskimo kiss is considered a friendly greeting in various different cultures. In Inuit culture, an eskimo kiss is a called a kunik, and is considered a traditional greeting between loved ones and family members.

7. Capricorn. Capricorns are seen as average criminals. They are right in the middle and tend to have a high respect for rules. They hate when people make careless mistakes, so when they are committing crimes they are very efficient and sneaky.

How to get rid of love handles and folds on your back and side. So many people are focused on getting the perfect abs and the perfect waistline. When this happens, they completely forget about their back. Our backs are constantly being used in our daily activities. Bending over to tie a shoe, carrying in groceries or hunching over to use a laptop puts a lot of strain on the back. This can cause us to become slouched and develop folds on our sides and back. Getting rid of these folds is no easy task, but there are effective exercises that can help.

7. Full Bridge: 7:06
Music:

Summary:
Now, here are the top 7 effective exercises that will help rid you of the folds on your sides and back.
1. Forward Bend: This exercise will help you stretch out your back. Nothing helps get rid of folds than stretching them out. Start by standing up straight and keep your feet shoulder-width apart. Try to lean forward without bending your knees and try to touch the floor with both palms. If you can’t touch it with your palms, try and reach it with your fingertips. Try to do 2-3 sets and 10-15 reps per set.
There are all sorts of benefits to the forward bend exercise. Not only does this exercise stretch your hips, calves, and hamstrings, but it also strengthens the thighs and knees and keeps your spine flexible and strong. This exercise is also known to help reduce stress, activate the abdominal muscles, and relieve tension in the neck, spine, and back.
2. Side Bends: This is the most beneficial exercise for getting rid of side folds. Start by standing straight with your feet spread wide apart. Raise either of your hands and place it on the back of your neck. On the other hand, you’ll have a dumbbell and begin to lower it. When you’re lowering it, begin to bend your head towards the arm with the dumbbell. Try to do 3 sets and 15-20 reps per set.
This unique exercise targets both your external and internal obliques to strengthen the side ab wall. It can help tighten your core, sculpt your waist, and improve both your posture and your stability. Give it a go if you want a tighter core and smoothed out back!
3. Push Ups: Whether you exercise or not, everyone knows this exercise. Start by getting into the plank position with your hands slightly outside your shoulder width. Begin to lower your body until you feel your chest touch the floor. Take a brief pause and push yourself up to the starting position. Attempt to do 3 sets and 20-30 reps per set.
4. Bow Pose: This is a tough exercise to perform if you’re just starting. Begin by lying flat on your stomach. Then pull your arms forward and bend your back and slowly lift your head. Try and lift your legs and bring your heels close to your buttocks. Use both hands to grab your ankles and hold that position. Try and hold that position for 15 to 20 seconds.
5. The Superman: Watch out, Clark Kent! This is a relatively easy but effective exercise for getting rid of folds on the sides and back. Start by lying straight down on your stomach. Stretch out your feet and arms and begin to lift them up at the same time while bending your back. Hold this position for 10 seconds then return to the starting position. Do 3 to 4 sets and 15 to 20 reps per set.
6. Upper Back Lifts On A Stability Ball: This exercise might seem or even look a little bit confusing, but it’s actually pretty easy - and effective! To do this exercise, you’ll need a stability ball. Start by laying your belly on the ball with your legs shoulder-width apart and both palms on the back of your head. Keep your neck straight and lift your head while lowering your shoulders and upper back. Hold the position for 5 seconds then return to the starting position. For best results, do 1 set with 15-20 reps.
7. Full Bridge: This is a more advanced exercise and will require a lot of practice and supervision. Start by lying flat on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart. Then bend your arms and put your hands over your head. Begin to press your legs up and bend your back up and lift your body off the ground. If you’re just starting out, only lift your body halfway, this will form a half bridge. Once you get good at that, then you can try the full bridge.

Summary:
- According to Dr. Julian Whitaker, is an alkaline substance that is produced by the body which buffers acids and helps keep our pH levels in check. Whitaker adds that people who suffer from kidney disease have a hard time removing acid from their body. But a recent study conducted by British researchers shows that sodium bicarbonate actually slowed the rate of kidney decline by two-thirds.
- Over the counter medication such as Alka-Seltzer, Tums, and Rolaids contain some form of bicarbonate. So Whitaker states that if those medications have success in relieving indigestion and heartburn, then taking natural baking soda would work even more efficiently. He suggests stirring half a teaspoon of baking soda into half a cup of water and drink it an hour after eating a meal.
- Whitaker explains that brushing your teeth by simply dipping your toothbrush in baking soda may not be the best idea. With its abrasive qualities, it would wear down the protective enamel over time. He suggests sticking with the commercial products that contain baking soda in their toothpaste.
- I’ve already mentioned what baking soda can do when it’s on a toothbrush, but I haven’t mentioned what it can do as a mouthwash. Healthline states that baking soda can reach corners and crevices of your teeth, tongue, and gums that can be missed when brushing your teeth. The easiest way to utilize baking soda as a mouthwash is to mix half a teaspoon with half a glass of warm water.
- In 1973, a Mouth Clinic was formed at Sunnybrook hospital. Most of the patients that came into that clinic were suffering from chronic ulceration. It was tough to diagnose and even tougher to treat at times. But specific therapy that included baking soda improved the conditions of 7 out of 10 patients, according to Healthline.
- According to Medical Science Monitor, the reason why baking soda is so effective when it comes to whitening teeth is because of its mild abrasive properties allow it to break the bonds of molecules that stain the teeth. Baking soda also contains antimicrobial and antibacterial properties that can help fight harmful bacteria.
- John Henderson Lamb, M.D., from the School of Medicine at the University of Oklahoma explains that baking soda acts as a natural deodorant because it can eliminate the smell of sweat by making the odor less acidic.
- Muscles produce lactic acid, which is why you get that burning sensation during exercise. Lactic acid lowers the pH inside your cells, which could be the reason why your muscles get tired.
- A study was published in BioMed Central, and it concluded that the participants who consumed sodium bicarbonate before exercise elevated their peak blood lactate levels, and lowered the rating of perceived exertion.
- According to WebMD, baking soda contains properties that can help soothe the redness that’s caused by itching and the stinging sensation caused by sunburn. There are many over-the-counter products that contain baking soda. But you can make your own paste out of baking soda, or take a bath and add it to the water.
- According to research done at the University of Nebraska, because baking soda is an alkali when it’s dissolved in water. It has the ability to interact with the acids from stains to help remove them.
- According to an article published in the U.S. National Library of Medicine, when you combine baking soda and vinegar, it creates a compound called carbon acid. This ingredient is common in cleaning products. Together, they create a fizzing sensation that seeps into the carpet and removes the stains.

6 Early Warning Signs Of Liver Damage
Here are warning signs that your liver is suffering and how to prevent damage. According to the John Hopkins Medicine Health Library, cirrhosis and other chronic liver diseases are common causes of death in the U.S. It also states that, on average, 31,000 people in the U.S. die each year from cirrhosis. So it’s imperative for people to look for signs of liver damage.

Summary:
6. Yellow Skin or Eyes (Jaundice): Jamile Wakim-Fleming, a liver disease expert at Cleveland Clinic, explains that damaged liver causes your skin or eyes to become yellow because it allows bilirubin (a yellow compound) into your blood. If your liver is healthy, it will be able to dispose of bilirubin, Fleming adds.
5. Confusion: One of the signs of liver damage is if you begin to experience confusion. According to Fleming, a damaged liver can allow too much copper to build up in your blood and brain. This can lead to Alzheimer’s-like symptoms. She adds that if you’re experiencing this, chances are it’s not the only symptom you’ve experienced. Confusion is associated with advanced-stage liver disease.
4. Muscle Wasting: If you have an oversized stomach with swollen ankles and skinny/weak arms and legs, it could be a direct result from fluid imbalances that are commonly caused by a diseased liver, says Fleming. This can also occur around your temples and or above your cheeks. Fleming adds that these symptoms are late-stage liver disease symptoms, so it’s highly unlikely you’ll experience these symptoms out of the blue.
3. Abdominal Aches: According to Bruce Bacon, a professor of internal medicine at the St. Louis University School of Medicine, one common sign of liver damage is abdominal aches. Bacon says you’ll feel swelling or pain in the right upper quadrant of your abdomen. The reason it’ll be the right side is that the fat end of the liver is on the right side.
2. Pain In Your Joints: Fleming states that vomiting, joint pain, fatigue and loss of appetite are all interrelated symptoms of liver disease – mainly autoimmune hepatitis. This is a condition where your immune system attacks the cell tissues in your liver. According to the National Institutes of Health, this condition is more common in women than men.
1. Skin Spots: According to Fleming, if your liver is not properly cleaning the blood in your body, clotting issues can occur near the surface of your skin. Fleming adds that these clotting issues can cause large skin blemishes.
How to Prevent Liver Damage: One way to prevent your liver from being damaged is to increase your intake of vitamin E. When making changes to your diet, you should also incorporate more foods like nuts into your diet. Vitamin E can help minimize the symptoms of liver disease, and nuts are high in vitamin E. It can help reduce symptoms of liver disease by preventing cell damage, according to researchers at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. Some of the best sources of vitamin E are nuts, wheat germ, seeds, vegetable oils and leafy greens.
One thing you can do to improve your liver health is eat a diet that is rich in nutrients. You should also eliminate large portion sizes from your diet. Overeating can cause liver damage, and limiting your portion sizes can help reduce how many calories you are eating every day, which can help with weight loss and ultimately minimize liver damage.
Monitor Your Alcohol Intake: Alcohol abuse is the number one cause of liver damage. The easiest way to ensure that your liver is healthy is to watch how much you consume. People who drink a lot of alcohol can damage their liver because whenever a person's liver filters alcohol, it has to work harder to filter it. Drinking large amounts of alcohol can also cause buildup of alcohol fatty liver disease. In fact, a study completed by London's Royal Free Hospital studied regular drinkers who cut out alcohol for one entire month. The results of the study proved that there was an average of a 15 percent decrease in liver fat. The study also showed that the people who cut alcohol from their systems showed cholesterol and blood sugar level improvements.

8 Things Your Nails Can Tell You About Your Health
Here is what your fingernails say about your health. If you notice any strange changes to your nails such as yellowing nails or dark lines on your nails and are unsure of what may be causing the changes, rule out any health problems like melanoma or vitamin deficiencies.

Summary:
8. Ridged Nails: According to John Anthony, MD, a dermatologist at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio and Debra Jaliman, MD, a New York City-based dermatologist and author of Skin Rules, there are certain nail symptoms that you should not ignore. Dr. Anthony explains that the reason people will see horizontal ridges on their nails is that there could be direct trauma to the nail, or it could also be a cause of a more serious illness, in which case you’ll see it on more than one nail. He adds that the reason this occurs is that your body is working overtime to try and fight the illness, so it is saving its energy for the rest of the body that needs it more. In basic terms, your body is saying ‘the nails are not important enough for energy.’
7. Pitted Nails: According to MedicineNet, nail pitting is caused by the defective development of the layers of the nail plate, and it is common for those suffering from psoriasis. They add that nail pitting can affect up to 50% of people who are suffering from this condition. Dr. Jailman suggests that if you are experiencing any pitting or dents in your nails, you should speak with your doctor.
6. Discolored or Dark Lines Beneath the Nail: Discoloration or a dark line on the nail can sometimes be caused by melanoma; which is the most dangerous type of skin cancer. Dr. Anthony elaborates on that by stating that melanoma that comes from the nail unit is extremely serious and it can also cause a black line or stripe on the nail.
5. Bluish Nails: When your nails become bluish, it is a sign that the body may not be getting enough oxygen. Possible causes could be lung problems and heart problems.
4. White Spots: White spots are called leukonychia, which is a condition in which white lines or dots are present on fingernails or toenails. There is a myth going around that white spots on nails means calcium deficiency. But Dr. Anthony explains that this is not typically the case. He adds that the white spots are not very significant as they are often a result of trauma such as hitting your finger against something.
3. Yellow Nails: According to WebMD, yellow nails are one of the most common warning signs your fingernails can give about certain health issues. WebMD also adds that one of the most common causes of yellow nails is a fungal infection, but in rare cases, yellow nails can also indicate a more serious condition such as diabetes, thyroid disease or even lung disease. Dr. Anthony adds that yellow nails could also be a cause of smoking, which can stain the nails. So you might want to quit smoking if you notice your nails are constantly yellow! Yellow nails can also be a sign of vitamin or mineral deficiencies, which may mean that you need to change your diet or even add a multivitamin supplement to your life. In other cases, yellow nails can also be symptoms of psoriasis, while in extremely rare conditions, it could be a sign of cancer.
2. Cracked or Brittle Nails: Brittle nails, also called onychorrhexis, affects 20 percent of the population. This condition typically affects women more than men, and is characterized by weak nails which break, peel, or split very easily. According to Dr. Jailman, cracked or brittle nails can be a sign that the nail plate is extremely dry. LIke yellow nails, cracked or brittle nails have been linked to thyroid disease. Dr. Jailman explains that hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid is not producing enough hormones.
1. Bitten Nails: According to Medical Daily, the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) classifies nail-biting as one of the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder. However, this does not mean that everyone who bites their nails has this disorder, but Dr. Jailman does explain that when this habit becomes excessive, you should consult your doctor.

5 Signs Of Depression That Should Never Be Ignored
These are the signs of depression that should never be ignored. It’s important to remember that depression is a brain illness that can be fatal if it’s not treated properly. Every year, depression affects more than 16 million Americans. Mental health is starting to get the recognition that it deserves, but there is still more work to be done. According to statistics, only 35.3% of Americans who are suffering from depression seek help. This is a major concern because it is extremely tough to deal with depression on your own.

2. Issues with sleeping:
3. Lack of energy:
4. Distractions:
5. Bad habits:
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/...
Summary:
Here are the top habits someone with depression will develop and go through.
1. Wanting to be alone: If you are suffering from depression, you probably don’t like leaving your house/room. You want to be alone with your thoughts and in most cases want to feel sorry for yourself without anyone bothering you.
Many people who suffer from depression just want to spend their time alone. They may completely give up on communicating with others. They will isolate themselves and give up on a daily routine. They may ignore calls, stop showing up to work, stop going to school, stop paying bills, the list goes on.
2. Issues with sleeping: People who are depressed tend to have trouble sleeping. Not only does this affect their physical well being, but it also significantly affects their mental well being. People who are depressed will pretend that they’re sleeping so no one will bother them, but they end up staying up all night and struggle to fall asleep because their mind is constantly racing with negative thoughts.
3. Lack of energy: Someone who suffers from depression will constantly cancel plans and appointments. They don’t have the energy or the desire to do anything. They just want to be left alone. Those suffering from depression may also sleep on the couch and binge watch television shows. Depression can cause people to become lazy, which translates into procrastination. They will avoid chores and stop taking care of their appearance.
Because people with depression lack energy, they may begin to avoid doing regular daily tasks like cooking. There is nothing tastier than a home cooked meal, but because depression is extremely draining, people suffering from it will often buy takeout because they lack the energy and motivation to cook. In addition to this, people who suffer from depression sometimes do not even enjoy the taste of food, says WebMD. This doesn’t mean that the food tastes bad; it means that they’re so stressed about so many issues that they can’t enjoy their food. They may also start eating less or lose their appetite altogether.
4. Distractions: People who are depressed tend to look for distractions to help keep their minds occupied. This can range from listening to music, to cleaning, to even exercising. It’s never a bad thing to be addicted to cleaning. Some people suffering from depression will clean anything and everything, says WebMD. It’s a good distraction and helps them focus on something more positive instead of something negative.
Running also helps many people dealing with depression. It gives them a sense of accomplishment, which is one of the main symptoms of depression - that they don’t feel that they have accomplished anything in life. Music can also be a telltale sign of someone’s mood. Someone suffering from depression may enjoy old rock and roll, but the second they develop a depressive episode, they may enjoy listening to something more soft and relatable to their situation.
5. Bad habits: Although some distractions can be good for a depressed person, there are also certain distractions which can lead to unhealthy habits. One example is picking skin until marks are left. Some people get satisfaction when they hurt themselves, which needs to be dealt with immediately before it becomes life-threatening. Some people will also suffer from other disorders that contribute to their depression. For example, some people will also suffer from trichotillomania, which is the disorder where the person will keep pulling their hair. After they pull it out, they will get a sense of relief.

#HowToHug #Hugs #Relationships
s very much in love, and represents the affection and love they have for one another.
The bear hug is very common at the beginning of a happy relationship and is also very common for people in love who haven’t seen each other in a long time. However, if this hug is persistent in a mature, happy relationship, it could indicate the fear of loss.
7. The Polite Hug: If your boyfriend or girlfriend hugs you and leaves space between the hug, especially in the lower body, it’s a direct sign that your partner feels uncomfortable with you. This might be the type of hug that a couple gives to each other just after they have gotten into a fight. It usually means that there is some kind of distance or unresolved issue that they have not come to an agreement on. When a couple is fighting and they give each other this type of hug, it is usually only done out of politeness, and there is usually no emotion or affection associated with it.
Most commonly these types of hugs happen after a fight or a dispute happens between two partners. But if they happen for no reason, it’s a sign that your partner does not want to come close to you. If you and your partner are arguing or are not on the best of terms but still want to show respect by hugging, this is probably the type of hug you would give. If you are not on the best of terms with your boyfriend or girlfriend, try to think about resolving your issues!
6. Legs Around the Waist Hug: This hug, when a boyfriend or girlfriend jumps up and wraps their legs around you signifies a deep attraction and intense passion towards the other partner. Couples who hug each other like this are typically very close to one another. They have a very strong and intimate connection, and it shows in the way they display their affection towards one another. Their physical closeness is very strong and they have an intense passion that not many other couples share. This is a type of hug that couples who are very much in love share with one another.
5. The Stand Still Hug: This type of hug is one partner squeezes and hugs with their entire might, while the other partner doesn’t even lift an arm. This is a sign of lack of reciprocation.
4. The Intimate Hug: Hugging and making direct eye contact with the partner is a sign of great intimacy and a beautiful connection.
3. The Buddy Hug: Hugging your partner from the side, with your arm directly over their shoulder, means that you not only value them as an intimate partner, but you completely trust them as a best friend.
2. The Back Hug: This type of hug occurs when one partner has their back turned and the other grabs them from the back with their arms wrapped around their shoulders.
1. The Pampered Hug: This type of hug signifies a deep caring nature and is usually followed by a kiss to the forehead. This type of hug is usually given by a more elderly person.

2-Baking Soda: You don’t just need baking soda to make delicious cakes and tasty desserts, it can also be very beneficial for your skin. It neutralizes the skin’s PH levels and forces it to reduce the oil production. With proper use, it could eliminate blackheads completely from your skin. To use it efficiently, mix a tablespoon of baking soda with water to make a paste. Apply it to the blackhead and let it sit for 10 minutes. Baking soda can also irritate your skin if you have sensitive skin. If you experience negative reactions, immediately remove it.
3-Oatmeal: It is perfect for breakfast, and it is perfect for maintaining perfect skin and removing blackheads. It loosens the pores that are clogged, and with its powerful antioxidants it can remove dead skin cells and will soak up any excess oil. To use it, simply cook some oatmeal, let it sit for 20 minutes to cool down, and apply it to the blackhead areas.
4-Green Tea: This powerful liquid has strong antioxidants that can help reduce excess oil and protect the skin from future issues. For full effect, boil a cup of water and remove it from the heat. Then add in two steep tea bags and also add in two teaspoons of green tea. Let it sit for an hour and then pour it into a bowl. Dab the liquid onto the blackheads and let it sit for 10 minutes before washing it off.
5-Lemon Juice: It contains AHA citric acid which can remove dead skin, making this one of the best natural remedies to unclog pores.

Take a cotton ball and dip it into the juice and apply it to the blackhead area. Let it sit for 10 minutes then wash your face with cold water.

7-Epsom Salts: We know that they’re terrific for sore muscles, but they can also be very beneficial for removing blackheads. Unlike the other remedies that dissolve the dead skin, Epsom salts actually pull the skin right out. For full effect, mix one teaspoon of Epsom salt with ½ cup of warm water and a drop of iodine. Stir it until you see all the salts dissolve, and wait until it becomes cooler. Apply the mixture to the blackhead areas until it dries completely. Epsom salts can also irritate your skin, especially if you have an unknown allergic reaction to it. It is best to test it out on your hand first before putting it on your face.
8-Egg Whites: Egg whites are high in protein and albumin, which is very beneficial for skin care. What egg whites do for the skin is they tighten it and also minimize pores, so it can remove the oil and unclog the pores which will prevent blackheads from returning. To use this on your face, apply a thin layer of egg white all over your face, and then place a piece of facial tissue over the covered areas. Then place another layer of egg white onto the facial tissue. Once everything has dried up, remove the mask and rinse any remaining egg white.

12 Signs Of Cancer Mostly Ignored by Women
Women should not ignore these signs of Cancer. A woman’s body is constantly changing. The older she gets, the more her body will change. Unfortunately some of the changes that women go through may seem normal, but in actuality they’re not. In some cases, these symptoms can be cancer signs.
#Cancer #SignsOfCancer #Health
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/...
Summary:
Here are 12 common cancer signs that are mostly ignored by most women.
1. Changes In the Breasts: In many cases, a lump on the breast doesn’t necessarily mean cancer. But if you notice a lump on your breast, you should consult your doctor. Also, if you notice any nipple discharge, nipples turning inward, or any redness or scaling of your nipple, make sure you tell your doctor that as well.
2. Bloating: According to Marleen Myers, an oncologist at NYU Langone Medical Center, women are natural bloaters. Constant bloating can be one of the common cancer signs that many women ignore. It could be colon cancer, ovarian cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, or even pancreatic cancer. Never ignore any unusual changes to your body!
3. Bleeding Between Periods: If you’re continuously spotting between periods, go speak to your doctor. Any bleeding that is not part of the menstrual cycle may be due to many different causes. Your doctor will want to rule out endometrial cancer, so be sure to notice any changes to your menstrual cycle.
4. Changes In The Nails: A small brown vertical stripe in one of your toenails might be a sign of melanoma. So if you notice any peculiar changes to your toe nails, you might want to contact your doctor to ensure it may not be a sign of melanoma.
5. Blood In the Urine Or Stool: In most cases, blood in the urine or stool is caused by hemorrhoids. But it can also be a sign of colon cancer. If you’re bleeding from an area that doesn’t usually bleed, consult your doctor. Especially if this bleeding lasts for more than two days.
6. Lymph Nodes Changing: In most cases, the lymph nodes change when they become infected. The infections are usually harmless and the body fights them off. But in some cases, such as leukemia and lymphoma, they also cause the lymph nodes to swell. If the swelling is present for at least a month, speak to your doctor.
7. Can’t Swallow: It’s natural to have trouble swallowing at times. But if it is happening often, and vomiting and weight loss are also present, you may have throat or stomach cancer. If these symptoms have not subsided after a few weeks, go speak to your doctor so he/she can properly examine you.
8. Unexpected Weight Loss: if you notice that you have not made any changes to your diet or exercise regimen but are still losing weight, visit a medical clinic to rule out the potential for cancer or any other illnesses.
9. Heartburn: Heartburn can be caused by excessive food or alcohol consumption. It will eventually go away with time and rest. If the heartburn does not go away, or it gets worse, it could be stomach, ovaries or throat cancer. In addition, constant heartburn will damage the lining of the esophagus, which can develop into Barrett’s esophagus. This condition raises the risk of developing throat cancer.
10. Changes of the Mouth: For women who smoke, look for white, yellow or gray patches inside your mouth. Cancer sores will also develop, which could be a sign of oral cancer.
11. Developing a Fever: When people develop the flu, they have a fever that will last a couple of days. But a fever that does not subside can mean many different things. Leukemia and other blood cancers can be the cause of the fever. If you have an ongoing fever and cannot determine the cause of it, visit your doctor or the emergency room to determine what may be causing it.
12. A Cough: Most people who develop coughs will see it go away within four weeks. Any cough that lasts longer than a month should not be ignored. If you’re a smoker or are having shortness of breath with this cough, consult your doctor. A cough is the most common sign of lung cancer.

-It’s important to maintain stable blood sugar levels as too much can not only result in weight gain but deplete you of your natural energy and focus.
- Excessive sugar consumption can lead to acne and skin problems.
-Sugar is void of protein and fiber, which results in excess consumption because it doesn’t fill you up.
- Not only can excessive sugar intake take a toll on your physical health, but also your mental health and it will make you much moodier than usual.
- Resident bacteria in the mouth consumes the sugar you intake, which produces an acid that causes tooth decay.
- Improper control of blood sugar levels can raise the risk of cognitive issues and impairment.
- Sugar overkill prompts your taste bud tolerance for the sweet stuff to go up and satisfying a sugary craving takes more than it should.

People Who Like To Be Alone Have These 11 Unique Personality Traits
The unique personality traits of people who prefer to be alone.
#PersonalityTraits #Personality #People
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
11. Increased Emotional Strength – According to Heathline, People who like to be alone are able to better accept, understand and identify their emotions because they spend more time observing and evaluating their own thoughts and feelings. Because they’ve taken this extra time to understand their emotions, they have a better sense of how to deal with and manage them.
10. Naturally Empathetic – Healthline states that people who prefer to be alone are more in touch with the thoughts, feelings, and emotions of others around them, making them more empathetic. This awareness of others emotions as well as their own allows them to not only empathize but show more compassion for those around them.
9. A Strong Moral Compass – Another benefit to people who prefer to spend time alone is they often have a better understanding of what they consider right and wrong. Because they’ve taken the time to analyze and determine their perspectives and moral beliefs, their moral compass is more developed than those affected and shaped by the opinions of others. This definitive moral compass also makes it easier for them to make decisions and be satisfied with the decisions they make.
8. They Are Open Minded – Even though some people would assume introverts are more likely to be close-minded because they’re not as affected or exposed to the opinions of others, many people who prefer solitude are actually very open to new experiences and different perspectives. People who enjoy spending time alone don’t automatically have a mind closed off to the ways of the world around them; they just choose to gather a better understanding of the world in different ways that suit their personality.
7. They Don’t Need Peer Acceptance – Considering modern society is so influenced by the internet and social media, feeling like we’ve gained the respect of our peers can become an overwhelming need we’ll do almost anything to satisfy. Popularity and acceptance have become one of the most pressing concepts we associate with success, and this can be a harmful measure of success to live by (particularly for our mental health).
6. They Can Admit Their Flaws – People who prefer to be alone are more likely to be comfortable admitting their flaws and are more in-tune and okay with the fact that they’re imperfect beings. This goes back to the sense of self they gain from being comfortable with themselves and with being alone. Being able to own up to our flaws and faults is an important step towards positive personal growth.
5. They Prefer the Company of Other Intellectual People – Being comfortable with being alone allows many introverts to be more selective about who they choose to spend their time with. Because they don’t feel a constant or incessant need to be around many people, they value their time and can be more selective of how they choose to spend it. This is because they know that with or without the company of others, they’d be fine either way.
4. They Value Their Time – According to Healthline, the reason people who enjoy being alone are more selective with the company they choose is that they value their time. People who prefer to spend time on their own understand the true value of time, an asset in our lives that many overlook or overshadow when among others. Not only do they value their own time, but they usually have more respect for the value and time of others.
3. Strong Sense of Intuition – People who prefer to be alone are more in-tune with their gut feelings and they trust them. Since they spend more time getting to know themselves, they are better able to understand, recognize and tap into their intuition and ultimately trust it.
2 .They Are Highly Loyal – Because they are more selective about who they spend their time with, people who prefer to be alone are actually more likely to be loyal to the people they enjoy being around. They still understand the value of friendship, they’re just more selective about who those friends are. But fewer friends also means it’s easier to value and stay loyal to those friends.
1. They Are Independent – They’ve made a more defined line of when to reach out to others for help and when to depend on themselves. This line distinguishes between connecting with others and actual dependence. Learning to face the world on their own, people who enjoy their own company don’t need people as much as they choose to have them around.

Vitamin B12 Deficiency Symptoms That Should Never Be Ignored
Vitamin B12 deficiency symptoms that you should never ignore. According to statistics, about 40% of North Americans suffer from vitamin B12 deficiency. Poor nutrition is usually the cause. Also, those who suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia also suffer from vitamin B12 deficiency.
As we grow older, our body’s ability to absorb vitamin B12 slows down. Vitamin B12 is responsible for helping make the red blood cells and DNA. Since the human body is incapable of making vitamin B12, it’s essential that we get it from supplements or animal-based foods. But some people do not take this vitamin seriously. Because of this, they end up suffering from vitamin B12 deficiency. Here are some Vitamin B12 deficiency symptoms that you should look out for.

Summary:
- The human body relies on vitamin B12 to produce red blood cells. The more red blood cells that are created, the more oxygen is carried through the body. One thing to remember is that fatigue is only one symptom, so don’t assume you’re vitamin B12 deficient.
- To keep your muscles strong, they need oxygen. The red blood cells that deploy oxygen to the muscles rely on vitamin B12. So if you are vitamin B12 deficient, your muscles will feel weak.
- In severe cases, vitamin B12 deficiency can damage the optic nerve. It can also plug up the blood vessels directly in the retina. This can cause double vision, blurry vision, and even vision loss.
- If you notice that your complexion looks yellowish, you may be vitamin B12 deficient. It’s when the red blood cells are broken that causes the release of bilirubin. So speak with your doctor if you experience this.
- The little bumps that are present on your tongue are called papillae. People who suffer from B12 deficiency lose the papillae on their tongue. If you lose most of it, your food will not taste good.
- Memory loss or Foggy Memory is often mistaken for Alzheimer’s and dementia. But vitamin B12 deficiency can also be to blame.
- Our bodies contain good bacteria, which is responsible for breaking down foods and absorbing nutrients. But when there is an imbalance of gut bacteria, it can result in improper absorption of essential nutrients. This could include vitamin B12.
- Add sources of vitamin B12 like fish, chicken, and lamb to your diet. You can also add beef liver and chicken liver as well.
- If adding food sources is not an option, taking vitamin B12 supplements can be a good alternative.
- Another great step to take is taking quality probiotics. These will help you absorb vitamin B12 more effectively. Quality probiotic sources include kefir, dark chocolate and kombucha.
- To keep your gut healthy, you need to reduce the number of inflammatory foods you consume. These include packaged foods, fast food, fried foods, and low-quality meats and food additives. Consult a doctor today for vitamin B12 deficiency treatment

Summary:
1. Avocados
It hurts whenever avocados make it on a list of “Bad Foods”. They are so delicious and make for a yummy sandwich. But as it turns out, this scrumptious fruit is a big NO-NO for your dog.
2. Chocolate
The lovely smell of chocolate! It’s not just us who are addicted to it. If you open a brand new chocolate bar, your silly pooch will come running. The smell attracts them too and of course, sugar is their weakness.
3. Raisins & Grapes
In short, never ever feed your dog raisins and grapes. Not even a few. They are extremely toxic for dogs and can cause rapid kidney failure. Even a small amount can send your dog to the ER.
4. Sweet Candles, Toothpaste, And Chewing Gum
There is a reason why we coupled sweet candies, chewing gums, and toothpaste under one heading. All of them contain a sugary-alcohol added to sweeten the taste.
5. Caffeine
Any beverage that contains a hint of caffeine is off the list of foods to give your dogs. Caffeine overstimulates a dog's nervous system and causes their heart their heart to beat very fast.

14 Bad Habits Making You Fat While You Sleep
From eating more sodium than usual, eating late, more carbs, starting new medication to lack of physical activity and more, watch till the end to learn about all of them.

Summary:
1. You ate more sodium than you usually do: Your body may retain excess water for a few reasons, but the most likely is related to your sodium intake. If you eat more sodium than normal on a given day, your body will retain more water. Some people are more sensitive to this. For example, if you typically eat very fresh, whole, clean foods and work out regularly, and then forgo a workout and eat a super salty meal, chances are your weight fluctuation will seem more drastic than someone who typically eats more salt. Mild dehydration can also cause your body to retain fluids. It sounds counterintuitive, but drinking more will help your body get rid of fluids more efficiently and flush excess sodium.
2. You Are Constipated: As you eat throughout the day, your weight may increase a few pounds until the next time you effectively empty out your bowels. If things are a little backed up, not only will you feel and look bloated, but your body will contain more weight than if you were to efficiently clear out the old to make room for the new. Make sure you're eating enough fiber, staying hydrated, and keeping active so that your bowels can do their thing.
3. You Worked Out Too Hard: After a heavy workout, especially if you perform big, compound movements that recruit a lot of large muscles, you can easily weigh a few extra pounds for several days.
4. You Drank A Ton Of Water: It’s true that staying well-hydrated is a good move if you’re trying to lose weight. But the first few days of upping your water intake could actually cause the number on the scale to creep up, too.

Thyroid Symptoms In Women: Signs, Causes & Treatment
Everything you need to know about Thyroid disorders in women. Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism symptoms, causes and treatments.

Summary:
What Is Hypothyroidism: According to the Mayo Clinic, this disorder means that your thyroid gland is barely active and there is not enough of the thyroid hormone in the blood. Hypothyroidism is also called underactive thyroid or low thyroid, and is classified as a disorder of the endocrine system in a person's thyroid gland. It occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. This results in a number of different symptoms. The symptoms can vary from person to person, but one clear signal is the ability to lose weight.
Hyperthyroidism: This thyroid disorder is the total opposite of hypothyroidism. Hyperthyroidism means that there is too much thyroid hormone in the blood, says WebMD. Also different is how it affects the metabolism, unlike hypothyroidism this disorder speeds up the metabolism.
Cause of Thyroid Disorders: The most common cause of hyperthyroidism is graves' disease, which is an autoimmune disorder and the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. It causes antibodies to stimulate a person's thyroid, making it secrete excess amounts of the hormone. Graves’ disease is much more common among women than it is in men, and is usually genetic. Other causes of hyperthyroidism are tumors in the ovaries, benign tumors of the thyroid or pituitary gland, excess iodine, large amount of tetraiodothyronine which are taken through medication or supplements, and more.
How to Detect and Treat These Disorders: If you or someone you know is developing symptoms that were mentioned above, doctors will conduct blood work to confirm if the thyroid hormones are within range. The Mayo Clinic explains that the treatment for thyroid disorders normally includes the prescription of a synthetic hormone called levothyroxine. Also, anti-thyroid drugs that block production of your own thyroid hormones may also be used.
Most symptoms associated with thyroid disorders are very slow and gradual. You may not notice the symptoms at first. This is why it is important to monitor your health, and the moment you start to notice symptoms like extreme fatigue, excessive weight gain or loss, dry skin, puffy eyes, and / or a pale face, consult with your doctor to rule out any thyroid disorders. If you are diagnosed with a thyroid disorder, your doctor will put you on a course of treatment to minimize your symptoms.
