Summary:
Growing up, we’re usually taught to refrain from swearing because it’s inappropriate and rude. There’s definitely a bit of a social stereotype in which those who swear are seen as uneducated, but according to a recent study, potty mouths might be a lot smarter than they were once perceived.
4. You’re guided by actions, not words. When you say you’re going to do something, you do it. You also expect the same from other people. Because alpha personality types are so strong headed and strong willed, they stick to their promises and won't make one unless they know they can keep it. They expect the exact same from other people. If someone says something but their actions show otherwise, you better believe they will call the other person out on it They have a 'no BS' attitude, and won't settle for anything less than the best. If you're dealing with an alpha personality type and promise to deliver on something, you better do it - because the alpha won't be afraid to call you out on it. You've been warned!
3. You’re hands on. An alpha personality can be organized and keep a list, but they’d much rather get up and get it done with. You won’t find an alpha personality making excuses for doing something that needs to be done. An alpha personality type gets things done, and when they do get things done, they put their 100 percent effort into it no matter what They love being practical and using their hands to get the job done. They tend to be perfectionists, but that is because they expect the best from themselves - as well as other people. Face it - if you're an alpha, you're probably a perfectionist. You don’t do this to annoy others, you simply want to make sure you leave no stone unturned when performing a task. You’re probably also a hard worker (bordering on workaholic). It’s easy for you to put a lot of work into everything you do. This means making sacrifices to make sure everything gets done.
2. You like alone time. Your personal time is your chance to unwind and relax, so you make it count. Although alphas have the stereotype that they are extroverts, they also love their alone time so that they can decompress, gather their thoughts, and unwind from social activities. It is important for them to have their alone time so that they can recharge their batteries. If you're an alpha, you're also not a pushover. You’re respectful, but you don’t let other people step all over you. You’re very good at sensing when someone is about to try to take advantage of you, so you put a stop to it right away. You also have strong beliefs. They can be political, social or philosophical, but there’s a topic you’re very passionate about. You stand by your opinion and defend it always. People also tend to misinterpret your passion for bossiness. Sometimes, when you’re just trying to do something in the most effective way possible, people might not see that. So they label you as bossy.
1. You do what you love to do. This doesn’t mean that work-wise your life is perfect. In terms of hobbies, you’re more fulfilled and passionate than anyone you know. And because you love doing what you are passionate about, you don’t pay attention to what people think about you. Because you’re strong-willed and you know yourself very well, you don’t let other people’s opinion of you affect you in any way. And because you have so much passion and love for what you do as well as the people around you, you also tend to be very protective. Whether it’s of your belongings, your space, or people, you include certain things into your circle of caring. Anyone who crosses someone that matters to you will have to face the consequences.

How To Cure Your Thyroid Gland And Balance Its Hormones
How to cure your thyroid gland and balance its hormones. If your thyroid is not functioning properly, every system in your body will slow down.
#Thyroid #ThyroidGlad #Health

Summary:
How Does the Thyroid Function: The thyroid hormones in our body regulate our metabolism and all of our organ functions. They directly affect our heart rate, cholesterol level, energy, muscle, body weight, and our skin and hair texture. It also affects our memory, mood, and other important bodily functions.
One of the main disorders that cause this is called hypothyroidism. Those who feel tired or sleep a lot suffer from this disorder. They typically have a slow digestion and have significant weight gain. They may also experience dry skin, slower thinking and hair loss.
Signs of Hypothyroidism: There are many different symptoms of an underactive thyroid. Many people do not even show any signs.
4. Poor Memory: This symptom is in direct correlation with unexplained fatigue. Naturally when we become tired, our brain functionality is not working at its best. So trying to remember things while trying to stay awake is not sustainable, hence why we begin to have poor memory. This may be caused by a thyroid disorder. Sometimes when people experience extreme fatigue, their brains can become overwhelmed and they begin to feel confused. This confusion can leak into other parts of their lives, resulting in extreme forgetfulness and the inability to complete regular everyday tasks.
3. Feeling Cold: If you live in a country that has very cold temperatures, than this might not be the best symptom to go off of. However, if the temperature is warm and you are still feeling cold, or if the temperature is cold and your body is not adjusting to it at all, you may have a thyroid disorder.
2. Dry Skin, Brittle Hair and Split Ends: If you find that your skin is dry in several different places on your body, and that your hair has become very thin with split ends, you might have a thyroid disorder.
1. Unexplained Fatigue: We all get exhausted at some point. Whether it’s a long day at work, or juggling school and work, our bodies do need a break. However, if you find that you’re losing energy at a time in the day that you’re usually energetic, it could be hypothyroidism. It’s best to monitor this situation and see if it keeps occurring. You may feel unusually tired even if you are eating right and getting enough rest.

17 Things People Born After The Year 2000 Won't Understand
17 things people born after the year 2000 will never understand. If you were born in the new millennium, there’s a large chance that you’ve missed out on a lot of unique and bizarre experiences that only people living in the 80s and 90s could understand.

Summary:
Before the invention of the internet, people had to make due with entertaining themselves in various ways, with technology that has since become obsolete, and to enjoy products that by today’s standards might seem completely ridiculous. Nevertheless, it’s fun to look back at some of the things in our past that might have been awesome at the time but now seem kind of strange or unusual. According to Psychology Today, the millennial generation are people born after the year 1980, so some of you may be able to relate to the things in this video, while others (specifically those born after 2000) probably won’t recognize many of these nostalgic things at all! Maybe you’re a person who grew up in the 80s and 90s, perhaps you were born way before then, or maybe you’re a product of the new millennium. Whatever the case may be, you’re bound to enjoy this list!

22 Creepy Facts That Are Scary And Mysterious
Here are 22 creepy facts that we find scary and mysterious.
#Mysterious #Facts #Creepy
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
8. DIgestive creepiness: This next fact is slightly disturbing and even kind of gross. Believe it or not, there are types of bacteria inside of your stomach that you use to digest food, but after you die those same bacteria will digest you. Well, there goes my sleep for the week.
7. Death from laughter: Did you know that it’s possible to die from laughing too much? There are at least 10 recorded deaths by laughing. It usually happens when the laughter causes some form of cardiac arrest or asphyxiation, according to Wikipedia. So I guess they lied when they told us as kids that laughter is the best medicine. Mind blown.
6. Cotard delusion: A rare mental illness called cotard delusion exists, and the person who is affected by the illness either believes that they are dead or that they have lost all their blood and/or internal organs. The person affected by the illness typically denies their very existence and suffers from extreme psychiatric depression.
5. Eyelash mites: Did you know that there are tiny little bugs that live on your face and eat off your dead skin? The bugs are called Demodex, and they’re tiny mites that live in or close to our hair follicles. There are two species of Demodex living on humans, and both species are typically referred to as “eyelash mites”.
4. Blood squirting lizards: Blood squirting lizards exist! They are called horned lizards, and they actually have a blood-squirting mechanism which shoots blood from their eyes. Blood squirting is a horned lizard's best-known defence when being attacked. A pouch below the lizard’s eyes swells up with blood, and with a surge of pressure, the lizard squirts up a stream of blood that can travel up to six feet.
3. The Suicide Forest: The Aokigahara forest, also known as the Suicide Forest, is located in Japan and is a popular tourist destination. The forest is known as one of the world’s leading sites for suicides. There are even signs located in different areas of trails in the forest encouraging suicide visitors to rethink their decision and contact suicide prevention hotlines.
2. Bacteria in our mouths: Did you know that there could be more bacteria in your mouth than there are people on earth? “In one month, the number of bacteria can easily exceed the number of people who live on Earth,” says Sigmund Socransky, associate clinical professor of periodontology at Harvard. That’s something I could have gone without knowing.
1. Dead skin cells: Human beings lose approximately 30,000 to 40,000 dead skin cells every single minute. If you do the math, that can add up to 50 million skin cells every single day. According to scientists, by the time a human being reaches adulthood, they will have lost roughly 37 trillion cells.

8 Benefits Of Baking Soda
Baking soda uses, benefits and life hacks. Baking soda can be used to treat heartburn and other health problems. There are many natural remedies that provide hidden health benefits for our body. Take baking soda for example; it’s mainly recognized for causing dough to rise by producing carbon dioxide.

Summary:
Whitening Your Teeth: If you're a cigarette smoker, you might want to try this one out. Each night before you go to bed, try mixing several teaspoons of baking soda with lemon juice or water to make a paste. Put the paste on your tooth brush and brush your teeth for one minute. After doing this for a few consecutive days, the stains on your teeth should improve. Further research that is published on PubMed can add more merit to this claim. The study found on PubMed was a six-week clinical study of four commercially available teeth cleaning pastes that claim to remove stains from teeth. The study was done to compare the efficiency of Colgate Tartar Control with Baking Soda & Peroxide Fluoride Toothpaste; Aquafresh Advanced Whitening Toothpaste with Fluoride; Rembrandt Tartar Control Low Abrasion Fluoride Whitening Toothpaste; and Crest Regular Fluoride Toothpaste. Each participant of the study was put into one of four groups which included age, gender, tobacco habits, and level of tooth stain. Each subject was instructed to brush their teeth for one minute, twice a day with their assigned toothpaste. At the end of the six-week study, participants using Colgate Tartar Control with Baking Soda & Peroxide Fluoride saw significantly lower levels of tooth stain.
Now that you know how baking soda can help you in your everyday life, here are some more handy uses that you probably didn't know about everyday household items!
Ketchup: Did you know that ketchup can help clean silver jewelry? That's right, it can! No need to spend money on expensive cleansers. To clean your silver jewelry with ketchup, just soak your jewelry in a bowl of ketchup for just a few minutes, and voila!
Newspaper: Got any funky, lingering smells in your fridge that you just can't seem to get rid of? Well, try placing newspapers inside the bins of your fridge, and witness those funky smells disappear!
Rubber bands: Busy moving things out of a room and can't open the door yourself because your hands are too full? Well, if this ever happens to you and you don't have anyone there to help you move things around or open and close a door for you, you might want to try this: to keep a door open, loop a rubber band around the inside and outside knobs of a door. Twist the elastic so that an 'X' shape holds the latch open!
A penny: Do you love flowers but hate how quickly they die? Well, there is one item that may be able to solve all your dead flower problems! The next time you buy a new bouquet of flowers, drop a penny into the water in the vase and add a dash of sugar. Your flowers will stay alive longer! The reason pennies can keep flowers alive for a longer period of time is because copper is actually a fungicide and it can naturally kill off the bacteria and fungi that kill flowers. The more you know!

5 Foods To Avoid If You Have Anxiety
5 Foods to avoid if you have anxiety. Anxiety is defined as a mental illness that seriously impacts our lives and how we think, feel and act. For example, a panic attack, which is a type of anxiety episode, is a feeling of sudden and intense fear that will last for a short period of time. With that said, there are certain types of foods and drinks that can trigger or contribute to anxiety and depression. In this video, you will find the top foods to avoid if you have anxiety.
#Food #Anxiety #Health
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
5. Caffeine: Most people are aware that caffeine is mostly present in coffee, energy drinks, teas, and chocolate. Dietitians of Canada explains that caffeine excites the nervous system and has the ability to improve alertness for short periods of time. Keeping that in mind, the Canadian Mental Health Association states that when someone is suffering from anxiety, specifically panic attacks, they can experience a racing heart and shortness of breath.
Now, Roland Griffiths, Ph.D., a professor in the departments of psychiatry and neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, told Livestrong in an interview that caffeine can trigger and even worsen anxiety and panic disorders because it can cause jitters, irregular heartbeats, nervousness, and headaches. To back up his statement, the National Institute of Mental Health recommends that people who are suffering from anxiety disorders should avoid caffeine. In addition, psychologist Norman B. Schmidt, Ph.D., told Livestrong in an interview, ‘If you tend to be a high-strung, anxious person, using high doses of caffeine can be risky.’
4. Alcohol: The American Addiction Centers explain that some individuals will resort to alcohol consumption in order to try and deal with anxiety. People might assume, because alcohol is a depressant and often has a sedative effect on people, it could be used to unwind. But the National Center for Biotechnology Information explains that using alcohol to help reduce anxiety will often backfire on people. In fact, they also mention that prolonged alcohol consumption can actually cause anxiety.
3. Sugar: According to Dr. William Cole, senior clinic director of Cole Natural Health Centers, current research has found that high levels of serotonin can make anxiety worse. Sugar is one of the main sources that can raise levels of serotonin. A study that is published in the journal JAMA Psychiatry was conducted to see if there was an association between serotonin synthesis and social anxiety disorder.
2. Trans Fats: Trans fat, which is also known as hydrogenated fat, is considered one of the worst foods for your diet, but what many don’t know is it’s also bad for your moods. According to a study published on PLOS, trans fat is associated with an increased risk of depression. Spanish researchers followed over 12,000 Spanish university graduates, who had no depression symptoms, for a total of six years. They monitored their intakes of various types of fat and their occurrence of depression.
1. Gluten: Celiac Disease, which is an immune-mediated disease dependent on gluten, was reported to be associated with depression and other related mood disorders, according to a study published on PubMed. Another study mentioned on PubMed found that the elderly population that was gluten sensitive were twice as likely to be diagnosed with depression when they were compared to the controlled group.

23 Interesting Facts About Ancient Rome And The Roman Empire
Here are 23 interesting facts about ancient Rome and the Roman Empire. Ancient Rome has long been a part of television shows, movies and documentaries, and this is mostly due to its large scale empire and its intimidating army. Let’s not forget the intellectuals and philosophers that Ancient Rome produced which led to what is known today as mathematics, philosophy, astronomy, and many other sciences.
#Facts #AncientRome #RomanEmpire
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
6. Plumbing: Ancient Rome was one of the first places to have derived a plumbing system. They used the cold water in pipes as a form of air conditioning by running these pipes through houses. Moreover, these same aqueducts would transport water for public baths, latrines and fountains. It would also help remove the waste water into nearby sewage systems which were just neighboring bodies of water.
5. Size of the Roman Empire: Many thought that the Roman Empire was the largest empire in history but in reality it was the 28th largest empire in the world’s history. At its apotheosis, the Roman Empire comprised 12 percent of the world’s population. According to Wikipedia, the largest empires were the British Empire followed by the Mongol Empire.
4. Population: Ancient Rome was rumored to have been at least six times more densely populated than that of present day New York City. It is estimated that just under 57 million people lived in the Roman Empire which covered approximately 4.4 million square kilometers at its peak. Some of its capitals included Rome, Constantinople and Syracuse.
3. The Statue of Liberty: It has been said that the Statue of Liberty was inspired by the Roman pagan goddess, Libertas. Libertas is the Roman goddess of freedom and she represents the freedom of action, freedom from restraint, and also signifies independence, personal rights, along with personal and social liberty.
2. Roman architecture: Roman architecture has once again proven its durability via its concrete structures. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the technology to make concrete was lost for almost 1,000 years. The concrete structures erected by the Romans were so strong that they withstood the elements for nearly 2,000 years, which is a lot longer than any modern day concrete structures.
1. The Colosseum: It has been remarked that if the Roman Colosseum were to be built today it would cost approximately $380 million. The largest amphitheatre ever built was created out of concrete and sand. Surprisingly, the Colosseum was built in what many estimate to be within 6 to 8 years.

9 Reasons Why Older Men Like Dating Younger Women
Here are the reasons why older men like dating younger women. The world of heterosexual dating and relationship wisdom is a fascinating, mysterious place, filled with chimerical half-truths, blatant falsehoods, and things just strange enough to be true. One of the later facts is the statistical age gap between men and the women they message and date.
#Dating #DatingYoungerWomen #OlderMenYoungerWomen
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
Christian Rudder, a blogger for OKCupid, did a fascinating study in 2010 using the site’s data on men and women’s age preferences. Rudder found that women’s desirability peaks at 21, and that not only do men state their age preferences very young, they tend to message younger women. They try to attract younger women when they are online, and even usually prefer dating younger than their stated preferences. In other words, according to Rudder, men in their 30’s spend as much time messaging teenage girls as women their own age. Yikes.
The article itself is a fascinating read on the raw data, but it doesn’t really get into the reasons that the age gap might exist. So here are nine, um, reasons people have proposed that men go for younger women. They are...to say the least, very interesting! Whether they want to date younger women or simply just attract younger women, the reasons sure are interesting!
Maturity: younger women like older men because not only are they more established and secure, but they are also more wise and mature. They are done with their younger, single ways and don’t tend to play as many games as most younger men do. So if you are an older man and want to attract younger women, make sure that your maturity is in check!
They know how to treat a lady: younger women who go on dates with older men like the fact that the man knows how to treat a lady - whether it be by holding the door for her or just holding up a conversation that is both mature and stimulating. Older men are also more old fashioned and traditional, and are more prone to treating younger women with respect and traditional values, which is difficult to find in the dating world this day and age!
They know what they want: older men are more established and more sure of what they want. If they want to have a relationship that is more serious, or are just looking for a casual date, they will be upfront about it. Most older men avoid playing games and are more upfront and honest when they are on a date with younger women. They are straightforward, honest, and aren’t afraid to tell women what they want and what they are feeling. They don’t beat around the bush and would much rather be honest about what they want than lead a younger woman on.

16 Male Fashion Trends That Women Hate
Here are the 16 male fashion trends that women actually hate.
#MensFashion #MaleFashion #FashionTrends
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
Our sense of fashion is a very personal thing. It’s one of the things that matters to a lot of people (for a number of reasons). Men and women make fashion choices every day based on what’s comfortable, what looks good on them, and what makes them feel good about themselves.
But sometimes, we all make poor fashion choices. Some people just don’t care about what others think. Others might be committing fashion crimes without even knowing it. Men have things they hate to see women wear (peplum skirts, oversized clothes, flashy nails, etc). And the same concept applies all the way around; most women definitely have a fashion item they don’t like to see on men. If you’re a woman reading this list of male fashion trends most women hate, you’ll probably agree with one or more of the items on it. If you’re a guy doing one of these things, don’t fret! Not all women dislike the things in this list, and you shouldn’t stop doing your thing just because it’s included here.
6. Ill-fitting suits. To be fair, this isn’t a gendered problem. Everyone—men and women—should learn to recoil at the sight of an ill-fitting suit. A suit that fits properly can make all the difference in how the shape, height, and weight of your body look, so choose more wisely from now on. And although suits that fit just right might be a little more expensive, it’s absolutely worth it. There’s just something about a nice fitting suit that can make someone look absolutely amazing. So if you have a suit that doesn’t exactly fit right, it’s time to start saving for a suit that fits well!
5. Socks and sandals. The only time you should wear this combination is when you’re a dad driving to the convenience store on a quick milk run. There’s no other scenario where wearing these is okay. Anyone who goes out in public wearing socks and sandals must seriously have no idea what having a sense of fashion means. I mean, socks and sandals are basically the number one fashion faux pas that I thought everyone knew about! Well, if you didn’t know about this cringey fashion faux-pas, now you do!
4. Fleece. We’ll admit that fleece is actually comfortable and a great fabric for the winter, but we won’t lie to ourselves about how bad it looks. It makes the person wearing it look like an inflatable version of themselves.
3. Super Deep V-Neck Shirts. There’s nothing wrong with being proud of your body and showing off your muscles (especially if you’ve been working hard on them). But deep V-necks just look ill-fitting, kind of like you were just in a fight and your opponent grabbed you by the neck of your shirt, resulting in a dramatic stretch.
2. Skinny jeans. Let’s just put it like this: extremes don’t look good. When you wear pants so tight that we end up learning things about you that only your girlfriend or boyfriend should know, then it’s time to take it down a notch. While rock stars and celebs can pull off the skinny jean look, most women agree that it just doesn’t look good on the average male. In most cases, a man can pull off the skinny jeans look if they have the body type and fashion sense for it. If you’re rocking a pair of skinny jeans but every other part of your outfit clashes with your pants, you’re going to have a bad time! So...maybe just avoid it all together.
1. Bushy beards. Some time in the 1940s-1950s, we all collectively agreed as a species to leave behind the trend of bushy beards along with top hats and high infant mortality rates. Let’s leave bushy beards in that faraway past, where they belong. According to Gentlemen’s Journal, big beards are just not “in” anymore. It’s true that these days, beards are becoming more and more popular - specifically around the ‘hipster’ scene. It seems that today, the lumberjack look is all the rage. If you have a beard, it might be time to get rid of it. That trend just isn’t popular anymore! Sure, a beard can keep you warm in the long winter months, but it can easily become untamed if it is not taken care of, and most of the time it just looks messy - and, well, unclean.

22 Wedding Trends That Need To Be Stopped
Wedding trends and bridal trends that are overrated and need to be stopped.
#Bridal #WeddingTrends #Wedding
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
When we attend weddings we look forward to seeing two people celebrate their love for each other. But let's admit it: there are a lot of wedding trends that are starting to get outdated. Whether it be be watching the couple get cake in their faces or having to buy your own drinks at the bar - there are some trends that have just got to go.
The Chicken Dance: Though we believe this chicken dance wedding trend is hilarious it really is outdated. There are other ways to break the awkward tension in the air at wedding receptions than to get everyone to do the chicken dance. Believe us, most guests don’t want to get up to dance in the first place.
The Cash Bar: There is one thing guests look forward to compared to all else at a wedding, and that’s an open bar. When guests arrive and they find out that it’s actually a cash bar, they are likely to be severely disappointed. This is over-rated one wedding trend that really needs to retire.
Now that you know the dumbest wedding trends that absolutely need to stop, here is quite possibly the worst wedding fashion trend that absolutely needs to stop!
Wearing Crocs: This goes for the couple and the guests of the wedding. I'm not even sure why anyone would even consider wearing crocs to a wedding, but I guess some people have no shame! Please remember that a wedding is a formal event that requires people to look their best, so...dress up! Wearing Crocs to a wedding is definitely an overrated wedding trend that needs to immediately stop. Out of respect for the couple and the sanctity of marriage, wear nice shoes.

4 Keto Diet Facts You Should Be Aware Of
Facts about the Keto Diet that you should know before starting it. The Ketogenic diet will help you lose weight and help prevent cancer, diabetes and other diseases.
#KetogenicDiet #KetoDiet #LoseWeight
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
In the modern day and age we live in, people worldwide constantly seek alternative diets and ways of life in hopes of preventing major diseases and staying in shape. People appear to be more conscious than ever before when it comes to their food intake, with many options available now that cater to an individual’s specific wants and needs. When it comes to averting illnesses and keeping on track with your weight, there appears to be a developing and rewarding diet that is worth your consideration and attention.
Introducing the Ketogenic Diet. This particular route is a low-carb, high-fat diet that comes with many health benefits. According to HealthLine, over 20 studies show that this specific diet will aid you on your path to weight loss, and prevent significant diseases such as diabetes, cancer, epilepsy, and Alzheimer’s disease. The work of health professionals like Dr. Valter Longo, from the University of Southern California’s Davis School of Gerontology, has also shown that low-calorie diets can slow tumor growth and starve cancer cells of the glucose they require for fermentation.
The ketogenic diet may be difficult to adjust to at first as your body begins to get used to the lack of carbohydrates, so you may feel discouraged at first to stop the diet all together. If you pull through and stick to the diet, you will notice results.
This is a highly beneficial and rewarding diet for anyone looking to enhance their overall bodily performance and hoping to prevent the health obstacles that could deter a prolonged life. Please keep in mind that diet alone cannot cure chronic conditions like cancer and diabetes. The data available only suggests that it might help prevent those conditions in some limited, highly-controlled cases.
If you are overweight or have any medical conditions, you should always consult with a physician before making any changes to your diet. In addition to changes in diet, you should also include an exercise plan in your life. Exercise even a few times a week is great for your overall physical health as well as your overall mental health. If you are not sure how to put together a workout plan, consult with a fitness instructor or fitness professional to find out what kind of fitness plan works for you. Remember, you are what you eat! If you are overweight and are looking for a diet that can keep you accountable and help you lose that weight, try out the ketogenic diet.

7 Signs Of Vitamin D Deficiency
Warning signs of vitamin D deficiency that everyone should know, and sources of Vitamin D.
#Health #VitaminD #VitaminDDeficiency
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
Did you know that before the year 2000, most doctors believed that none of their patients could be vitamin D deficient? But as technology to measure for vitamin D became affordable, more studies were conducted. According to Dr. Michael Holick, who is one of the leading vitamin D researchers, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that 32% of adults and children in the US were vitamin D deficient. That’s a pretty high number; so for that reason alone, it’s important that you look for signs of vitamin D deficiency.
With more research being conducted, Holick believes that about 50% of the general population may be at risk of vitamin D deficiency.
The only way to know for sure if you are vitamin D deficient is by a blood test. But the signs and symptoms that come along with this deficiency could be helpful as well.
There are certain people who are more at risk for developing a vitamin D deficiency. These people include the elderly, those who have milk allergies, those who have darker skin, or those who follow a vegan diet. Symptoms associated with vitamin D deficiency include an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, asthma in children, cognitive impairment in seniors, and more. It is extremely important to get a sufficient amount of vitamin D in order to avoid these health risks. If you are not exposed to the sun very often and have a strict diet which doesn't incorporate many foods which are rich in vitamin D, it may be time to start talking to your doctor about the best types of supplements you should be taking for vitamin D, and how many or how often you should be taking them.
It should be noted that there are many different harmful effects of over exposure to the sun. Overexposure to the sun can result in sunburn, premature aging of the skin, skin cancer, and skin damage. Did you know that over 90 per cent of skin cancers are caused by sun exposure? This is why scientists are often debating about the best ways to get Vitamin D. Although vitamin D comes from the sun, being in the sun too long can pose all sorts of other dangerous health issues and risks which can lead to cancer. Over exposure to the sun allows damaging and harmful UV rays to reach the inner skin layers of a person's body. This causes sunburn, and can even kill or damage skin cells, possibly developing into cancer. Although a small amount of UV exposure is good for us (because it creates vitamin D), too much sun exposure can lead to early aging, skin cancer, a lowered immune system, and more. This is why doctors suggest eating a diet that has foods which are rich in Vitamin D. That being said, not many foods have vitamin D in them, which is why vitamin D supplements are becoming increasingly popular. Speak to your doctor today about the best ways you can increase your levels of vitamin D. Your doctor will likely suggest taking a vitamin D supplement.

Summary:
At every moment of every day, your body is constantly speaking to you. Unfortunately, because many people live a stressful and chaotic life, they don’t fully understand their own body language. There are three types of body materials (mental, emotional and physical); but we are much closer to the physical aspect of our body. For example: how a woman’s body reacts to being with the wrong man strains from physical body material. This video will show you some examples of how a woman’s body reacts to being with the wrong man.
If you notice that he doesn’t seem to want to get dressed up, shave, or even shower when he’s around you or when you guys go out, but he does when he goes out without you, he may no longer be interested in you. See how he dresses or takes care of himself when he goes out and compare it to when he is with you - do you notice a drastic change? Has he ‘let himself go’? If he has, try to talk to him about it before jumping to conclusions. Remember folks, communication is key!
One of the most important parts of a relationship is talking to each other about your lives, your worries, fears, goals, and more. If you notice that your partner no longer seems to care about your day or what is going on in your life, or if meaningful communication starts to cease out of nowhere, he may have fallen out of love. Psychology Today states that when a person is in love, they want to hear about your day and your life. So if you notice that your partner has stopped doing this, it could be a red flag.

4 Signs Of A Heart Attack In Women
If you are a woman and have these signs, you could be having a heart attack. Here are the unusual heart attack symptoms that all women should know about.
#Women #HeartAttack #HeartAttackSymptoms
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
When it comes to your health, there are certain symptoms that people experience but do not really think anything of. Some people experience certain signs or symptoms and think that they aren’t a big deal. For example, when nauseous, you would probably just assume you’re hungry or ate something bad, right? You probably wouldn’t associate such a common feeling with a heart attack. People tend to wait until they feel back to normal and completely ignore the fact that it may be something a little more serious.
According to health.com, an estimated 38,000 women that are under the age of 50 experience heart attacks every year in the U.S. The problem is, people can easily confuse heart trouble with other ailments, such as indigestion.
Many of us have learned about the typical symptoms of a heart attack such as experiencing sudden chest pains and/or pain in your arm, but according to experts, women can experience far less obvious signs of a heart attack compared to men. It’s really important to be aware of those less obvious signs and to see a doctor immediately. Ignoring certain signs and symptoms make the problem far worse. You may be sick or have a certain type of illness you don't even know about if you choose to ignore your symptoms. That's why you should always be aware of certain symptoms to look for in certain illnesses. In this video, we'll be talking about the unusual heart attack signs and symptoms women should look out for. So if you're a woman (or even if you're a man and have a female in your life who may present these symptoms), keep an eye out for these unusual signs.
How to prevent it: When this different kind of heart attack surfaces, the first instinct for some people is to panic. But you shouldn’t have to because there are ways to prevent it. To strengthen your heart I would include hawthorn into your diet. It will strengthen the cardiovascular system, maintain a healthy blood pressure level and lower your cholesterol. You can also try lemon balm. It will relieve restlessness and insomnia. All you need to do is add two teaspoons of lemon balm, some sweetener and lemon juice to a cup of hot water.

Here are the things a new mom needs to know about giving birth.
#NewMom #Childbirth #GivingBirth
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
Giving birth is one of the most natural things any woman could experience. However, some new pregnant mothers might not know about all the different bells and whistles that come with giving birth. Some of which, are unfortunately very gross. Let’s face it. Childbirth is beautiful, but it’s also super gross. It’s so primal that any and all bodily functions may happen at once. Sometimes, something will happen when you least expect it.
The 8 gross things in this video can occur during the birthing process. Anyone who is a mother can probably relate to any of these things. Fortunately, doctors and nurses are prepared for any and all of these events.
Spending Quality Time With Your Kids: It’s not enough to just spend time with your children, you need to be with them completely. No Xbox and no IPhone can ever replace the bond a parent has with their child. By communicating with them, listening to them and doing things they enjoy doing, they will learn how to be a considerate and caring person.
When you’re communicating with your child and listening to their dilemmas, it’s very important not to take sides on a situation. You want your child to learn from their experiences through their own perspective.
Be A Strong Role Model: At a younger age, children see and listen to everything around them, so it’s imperative that your kids need to see a strong leader in their life. You need to practice all the characteristics that you are implementing to your children. That means fairness, politeness and honesty need to be shown not just taught. Your child will look up to you, but only if you earn their respect. By doing this you are showing your child that you are as human as you can possibly be, and that comes with flaws.
Teach Your Kids to Care for Others: To help build your child’s future, you need to teach them how to care for others. It’s important that they see and hear that caring for others is a top priority. Teach them to do the right thing, even if it’s hard and may not seem like the right thing at the time. As often as you can, try to remind them that no matter how old they get, there will always be people around them that will need their help even if they don’t know it yet.
Encourage Appreciation and Gratitude: Try not to spoil your child, because a child that acknowledges the roles of others in their life is very healthy. People who practice gratitude on a regular basis are more likely to be generous, helpful, compassionate, and forgiving.
Paint the Bigger Picture: It’s a known fact that children empathize with their small circle of family and friends. But the real challenge is to get kids to think of the bigger circle. This includes new kids in the classroom, other people in the school, and a person who doesn’t speak the same language as them. They need to know that how they act can reflect others around them, not just their friends and family. Those are the top elements that a parent needs to do when raising their children. Read on to find out what other elements also play a factor when raising children.
Support the Shy Ones: It’s a very uncommon trait that many children have, especially when they are very young. The key to supporting them is to try and get them out of their comfort zone without changing their nature.
Live in the Moment: As parents, it’s natural to think and plan for the future, but kids don’t have that same mentality, they live in the “now.” In order to bond and understand them, you have to try and live in the moment with them, even if you don’t agree with the situation. help your child understand and learn about emotions.
Slow Things Down: Working and taking care of your family can be a fast-paced job. Try and slow down your schedule and make time to spend with your children with no interruptions. Whether it’s a trip to the grocery store with them or something simple as a bedtime routine, you need that alone time with them.
Keep Calm: It can be tough sometimes, but try not to yell at your children. No one said you can’t raise your voice, but you want to teach them that speaking to someone, even when you’re angry, should never result to yelling at them and disrespecting them.

43 Things You Didn’t Know The Use For
Interesting things you didn’t know the use for.
#DIY #Things #LifeHacks
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
Unless you’re irrationally inquisitive, there’s a number of features on things that you use every day that you probably never even noticed. However, these things aren’t always just for show and have an intended purpose. Lots of little things in life actually have some pretty useful tricks behind them that can significantly help us live much easier lives.
43. Toothpicks: Some toothpicks are designed with tiny indentations on the opposing side of the pick. These indentations aren’t just for aesthetics or just to make sure you know which end is which. Once detached, the indented part of the toothpick serves as a holder for hygienic purposes.
42. Extra fabric: The extra piece of fabric that comes along with your clothes isn’t actually to use as a patch. This is what most people might think and then throw away. it’s actually there to use as a tester in the laundry machine to see how the fabric reacts to different detergents or bleaches.
Speaking of fabric, have you ever wondered what the little pom pom on the tops of hats are for? Well, stick around until the very end to find out!
41. Bobby pins: There’s a reason bobby pins have a side that features a zigzag-like groove. Some people aren’t aware of the grooved side’s purpose and put in their bobby pin in any way. However, the grooves help the hairpin hold the hair better, which means the grooved part should face towards the scalp.
40. Spaghetti Spoon: Anyone who regularly boils up a pot of pasta will be familiar with a spaghetti spoon. Spaghetti spoons are distinguishable by their forked edge and a hole in the ladle-like area of the utensil. One might imagine that this hole’s main purpose is to strain the water when ladling out pasta, but there’s more to it than that. According to Today.com, the hole actually fits the size of exactly one serving of spaghetti so that when you’re making your meal you can accurately measure it. Those who can really go to town on a bowl of pasta might not be satisfied by the spoon’s suggested serving portion. However, at least once you start counting how many servings you’re making, it can be a useful tool to make sure you aren’t making too much or too little.
39. Makeup products: Take a look at any of your makeup products. You’ll notice a symbol that resembles a little container. Inside of the container symbol, you’ll also notice a “6M”, “12M” or “24M” written beside it. The numbers stand for the shelf life of your makeup. This is a great way to make sure that you’re not using expired products on your precious skin. 6M indicates that it will go bad after 6 months, 12M is for 12 months and 24M is for two whole years. So keep track of when you purchase these items and if they are past their expiration date, throw them out!

Remove Blackheads, Moles, Warts, And Skin Tags Naturally
Here is how to remove blackheads, moles, warts, skin tags and age spots completely naturally.
#SkinCare #HomeRemedies #RemoveBlackheads
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
Our skin is constantly being exposed to different chemicals and factors such as sun and pollution. But it also suffers from hormonal imbalances, stress, and unhealthy diets. The most common issues that our skin endures are moles, warts, skin tags, age spots, and blackheads. The good news is that there are numerous natural ways to treat these problems! While these “natural treatments” are not cures and they should not replace professional medical treatment, it’s worth it to try them out!
If you have moles, warts, blackheads, skin tags, or age spots and want to remove them naturally for cosmetic reasons, you should speak to a dermatologist first to ensure that you are doing it safely and not putting your skin at risk. It is always best to seek advice from a professional before attempting to remove anything from you skin. Improper removal of things such as warts or skin tags can leave scars. And although most moles are not cancerous, there is always the possibility that if you try to remove your own mole, you may be removing a cancerous one, which could mean that cancer will spread throughout your body and even become undetected.
As always, it is in your best interest to speak to a medical professional or a dermatologist to find out what your options are if you have certain issues that you are self conscious about. It is always best to remove skin issues with a professional, as this can significantly reduce any risks which can occur as a result of self removal of warts, blackheads, moles, age spots, or skin tags.

8 Strange Things That Happen To You When You Sleep
Here are the 8 strange things that can happen when you sleep.
#Sleep #Health #Strange
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
The human brain is so complex that we’ve never been 100% sure we understand everything about it. Even when they think they have the answer to something, researchers are still cautious about their findings. And this fact especially applies to the mystery that is the sleeping brain.
Sure, we have a measured understanding of sleep cycles thanks to MRI scans, but we still don’t know why certain things happen. And when it comes to sleep syndromes and phenomena, the mystery deepens precisely because there are no set answers for why the sleeping brain works when it’s healthy.
The human body is a mysterious and often puzzling thing. Sometimes our bodies do things that we just can’t explain. And when we’re sleeping, we’re in our most vulnerable states. There are all sorts of odd things that our bodies can do while we are sleeping. Some of these things can be explained, while others...not so much. From sleep walking to sleep talking to out of body experiences and everything in between, there is quite an air of mystery about what is going on in our brains when we are sleeping. It can be a little bit terrifying - and even creepy - to think about, but as modern technology and medicine evolves, maybe we’ll be able to get some answers to these questions.
If you notice that your sleeping patterns have changed, or that you have developed a sleeping disorder but are not sure what is causing it, speak to your doctor. Try to reduce the amount of caffeine you drink, and make sure that you are getting adequate rest every night. Remember, our bodies need rest. Sleep rejuvenates us and helps us recover after a long day. If you notice any strange changes to your sleep schedule, speak to your doctor about what you can do to get you back on track.

Summary:
Depression is a scary and unpredictable disorder. Like many mental illnesses, it can go unnoticed and undiagnosed for a long period of time. The longer it goes undiagnosed, the quicker the person who has it will sink.
Concealed depression can be even worse. Those who are suffering from it choose to hide it from society. They hide it so well that their loneliness and emptiness goes unnoticed.
Because the dangers that are associated with concealed depression are so high, it makes self-diagnosing or diagnosing others that much more essential. With that said, if you find yourself or someone else indulging in the following behaviors, it may be time to talk to someone.

Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
In order to keep your body healthy so it can function at a high capacity, you need adequate sleep. According to a new study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than a third of Americans are not getting enough sleep on a regular basis. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and Sleep Research Society recommends that adults between the ages of 18-60 should get at least seven hours of sleep. According to an article published on PubMed, researchers conducted a study that aimed to find out the consequences of sleep deprivation. For the studies, healthy adults were subjected to limited hours of sleep; randomized into 4, 6, and 8 hours. Caffeine usage was carefully restricted as well as their sleep and wake time. After subjecting the participants to 14 days of sleep restriction, researchers found that when given tests to complete, those with only 4 or 6 hours of sleep scored significantly lower. The tests focused on attention, cognitive thought, working memory, mood and reaction time.
With that said, getting adequate sleep can depend on many variables, with food being one of them. What you consume before going to bed can either aid your sleep or hinder it.

15 Cooking Tricks From Professional Chefs
Top cooking tricks from professional chefs that are only taught at culinary schools.
#ProfessionalChefs #CookingTricks #CookingHacks
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
15. Meat from the fridge: Thinking of frying a piece of meat that just came out of the fridge? Don’t! Leave it out for an hour or 2 before you cook it. Once it’s at room temperature, you’ll fry the meat evenly and get a great meal!
14. Juicy Meat: Wondering how to get the juiciest meat? Juicy meat is simply delicious, and here’s a tip on how to cook a perfectly juicy slice of meat: Simply take 3 cups of water, add ¼ cup of salt and ¼ cup of sugar. Pour the brine onto your meat so that the liquid covers it, and put the bowl in a fridge.
13. Enhance the taste of your spices: To enhance the taste of the black pepper or cumin in your dish, simply toss them in a pan over medium heat, toasting them until they’re fragrant. Once you do this, you can use a mortar and pestle to grind your spices.
12. Dough: Want to cook the perfect dough? All you have to do is follow this one simple rule and you will achieve it! Just take the butter and eggs out of the fridge the night before…and start baking when they are at room temperature. That’s it! You’ll notice such a difference.
11. Add a delicate crust to your fish: Want to fry fish on a grill and get a delicate crust? Easy! Just spread some mayonnaise on it to get a tasty delicate crust. All you need is a pastry brush. Grab the brush and dip the tip in the sauce. You can add some salt and then grill it!
10. What’s the secret to cooking the best steak? Alain Ducasse, one of the most famous chefs in the world, revealed his secret for cooking the perfect steak. It’s placed on its edge because it renders fat. Once you do that, the steak cooks in beef fat, creating an appetizing crust on the edges. That way you don’t need oil while cooking it!
9. The secret to mashed potatoes: Mashed potatoes are delicious - but if they’re not made properly, they can be a disaster. Before you mash your boiled potatoes, dry them properly. Put them in a heated frying pan and keep them there until all the remaining water dries out. Don’t let the heat fry them. Once dry, you’ll get the yummiest creamy mashed potatoes.
8. Veggie cream soup: Before you start cooking veggie cream soup, fry all the vegetables separately with olive oil. Then simply add water or a broth. The frying will caramelize the sugar in the veggies and really enhance their flavor. The food will be so delicious.
7. Pancakes: Mmmmm, pancakes. The best of the best when it comes to breakfast, don’t you agree? Well, want to get the best pancakes? Always add 2 tablespoons of sour cream to your pancake mix. This trick works for all kinds of pancakes and they turn out to be fluffy, free of cracks and most importantly….tasty!
6. Sugar as a seasoning: Sugar isn’t only used to sweeten your food. It also works as a good seasoning. Add a bit of sugar to a dish with pickled or fresh tomatoes or a tomato paste. The sugar will reduce their natural sourness and make any meal super tasty.
5. Perfectly fried eggs. That’s a tricky one. There are 3 components to the perfectly fried egg: thick-walled frying pan, butter, and minimum heat. Heat up the frying pan, add ½ tablespoon of butter. Make sure it melts slowly and doesn’t reach a sizzle. Break the eggs, and cook for 4-5 minutes.
4. Broth: Getting a clear broth is the most important part of a lot of soups, sauces and other dishes. You need to cook a chicken on a low heat without a cover for 3 hours. Don’t let it boil. After cooking it for 1.5 hours, you can add parsley, celery, carrots, and onions.
3. How to get a crispy bread crust: Just put a bowl of water into your oven when you bake. The steam will naturally work its magic and you’ll manage to get a nice, crispy, delicious bread crust. Usually, people have difficulty achieving the perfect crust. Either it’s too pale or too thick.
2. How to cook onions: Cooking onions CORRECTLY is key. Use a medium heat for frying, and add both cooking oil and butter to the heated frying pan. Cut the onions, and fry them with some salt. The salt helps get rid of the unpleasant onion smell, helps them cook quicker and caramelizes to add a sweet flavor.
1. Avoid smelling like garlic: If you love eating garlic, but don’t want to ruin your chances with a date, don’t worry. Don’t add garlic to the dish. Rather, apply some garlic juice to the plate. That way you’ll avoid smelling really bad and enjoy your favorite flavor!

Thyroid Symptoms In Women: Signs, Causes & Treatment
Everything you need to know about Thyroid disorders in women. Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism symptoms, causes and treatments.
#Hypothyroidism #Hyperthyroidism #ThyroidSymptomsInWomen
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
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.

This Is Why You Keep Waking Up At The Same Time Every Night
Do you wake up at the same time of the night all the time? This is what it means.
#Sleep #Sleeping #SleepMeditation
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
5. Difficulty Sleeping Between 9-10 p.m.You May Be Stressed. If you don’t feel relaxed and sleepy at this time, this could be due to stress. Try meditation before you go to bed. Emma Richards of Marie Claire also suggests Yoga Nidra, for sleep meditation, to really usher in the zzz’s.
Meditation is a great way to relieve your stress and relax your mind. It helps you forget about the worries which plague you throughout the day, and allows you to stay in the present moment - completely relaxed and stress free. To meditate, all you have to do is find a quiet place. Sit or lay down, and close your eyes. Slowly start to breathe in and out. Clear your mind of all thoughts and just focus solely on breathing. If distracting thoughts start to come into your mind, just move your thoughts back to breathing in and out. If you are a beginner, do this for five minutes and gradually increase how long you are doing it as you become better at it. You will find that it helps calm your mind, and may even help you fall asleep while improving the quality of your sleep at the same time.
4. Are You Waking Up Between 11 p.m. And 1 a.m.? You May Be Experiencing Emotional Disappointment. Chinese medicine tells us that the gallbladder, which is linked to how we feel, is active during this time. If you are experiencing this type of sleep disruption, Wikr.com suggests practicing mantras and self-acceptance. Mantras, like meditation, can help relieve our stress and relax us. They instill positive thoughts into our minds and can have a positive effect in our self confidence and self acceptance.
3. Are You Waking Up Between 1-3 a.m.? It May Mean You Are Angry. The Traditional Chinese Medicine Foundation notes that issues with liver functionality are typically associated with anger and frustration. In this case, Wikr.com suggests drinking a cold glass of water as well as practicing meditation in order to help ease the tension.
If you find that you are angry and tend to lose your temper for the smallest of reasons, you should also consider speaking to a therapist. A therapist can help you understand why you react to certain things in a specific way, and can help you get to any deep rooted issues which may be causing your anger. Through practicing meditation and seeking help from a professional, you can heal ease your anger, which may be able to help you sleep better at night.
2. Waking Up Between 3-5 a.m.? A Higher Power May Be Communicating With You. This time of night corresponds to the lungs which are connected to sadness. Chinese medicine suggests that a greater power or presence may be relaying a message to you. Being awake at this time may be a sign that a spiritual or divine being is attempting to guide you to a greater purpose, says The Traditional Chinese Medicine Foundation.
If you do not believe in a higher power, try tapping in to your inner emotions to really find out why you are feeling the way you are feeling. This is where meditation can play a huge role in helping you discover who you really are while easing any unnecessary stress in your life.
If you are experiencing deficient lungs or have symptoms including pessimism, self-pity, injustice, and desperation it’s important to reevaluate your worldview. The phrase “able to breathe” is not only about the physical ability to breathe but it also refers to a feeling of ease and self-assuredness. Try practicing breathing exercises and meditation to induce sleep.
1. Are You Waking Up Between 5-7 a.m.? You May Be Experiencing Emotional Blocks: This might be related to intestinal health. Intestinal problems are tied to emotional imbalances, according to Stepping Stone Acupuncture and Wellness. “An emotional imbalance in the large intestine energy could manifest as chronic constipation, but it could also manifest as a tendency to hold on to the negative”

7 Facts About Men That Most Women Don't Know
Here are facts about men that they hide from women.
#MenSecrets #FactsAboutMen #Relationships
Music:
https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music
Summary:
7. Becoming distant: When men keep secrets from their partners, and depending on what the secret is, the partner who is holding the secret may become distant from their partner. When they keep a secret from their partner they will avoid certain topics of discussion. They will do absolutely anything to keep their secret, even if it means reducing communication with their partner. According to Psychology Today, avoidance could include being preoccupied with friends, hobbies or work.
6. How Hiding Things Can Ruin A Relationship: Arthur Aron, a marital intimacy researcher from Stony Brook University in New York, says that loving relationships help people expand themselves. It provides exploration, growth, and learning and also brings about passion and interests. But when there is lack of trust, Aron says that it has the opposite impact. He adds that lack of trust makes the world smaller in a relationship, and it also can cause both partners to try and control each other because of insecurities and fear.
5. Tight clothing: Alright, so let’s talk about the first true fact about men. When they’re younger, men can wear tight clothing because our bodies are still growing and it’s comfortable. But according to Real Men Real Style, as men get older, they develop more confidence and don’t rely on tightly fitted suits. They want to feel comfortable, so they wear things that stretch or they wear sweatpants because they know their place in the world.
4. Financial Secrets: Are you good with your finances? If you are in a relationship and are having trouble with your finances, do you share these secrets with your partner? Well, according to Bonnie Winston, who is a relationship coach, financial issues are one of the top reasons why relationships and marriages end. When a married couple has financial issues, it tends to affect the relationship in many other different ways.
3. Fake Interests: David Bennett, a certified counselor and author says that men will fake interests based on what a woman he likes is interested in. Bennett says that men believe this is a good way to get the first date. But he also mentions that it can become a major issue down the road because it misleads the partner into thinking their partner is something that they are not.
2. Men Keep Secrets About Their Past Relationships: According to Eric Hunt, who is a marriage coach in Myrtle Beach, most men in relationships he deals with are not comfortable discussing their past relationships. Hunt mentions that this can be a huge mistake in a relationship. The past will always be the past he says, but hiding the truth will only make it worse when it eventually comes out. Hunt says that being honest about your failed relationships may even make your present one that much more successful.
1. Men Hide Their Emotions: Douglas E. Noll, who is a professional mediator and author of his book De-Escalate, says that out of all the true facts about men that they hide, their vulnerability is the biggest one. Is it possible that men are just as emotional as women? Research suggests that this is entirely possible. A 2014 study conducted by Dr. David Lewis showed that men experienced emotional changes during an emotional experiment as much as women did. But when it came to expressing these emotions, they were not as willing as their women counterparts.

We all experience emotions - we are all humans, after all - but some people just hide it better than other people.
