(You beauty)The quest for a healthy and radiant skin doesn't need the fast, expensive and most times, and skin chemicals of the pharmaceuticals.
In fact, the storehouse of nature offers a more holistic approach as its remedies never fail.
However, it is important to state here that the leading factors that take a toll on the quality and texture of your skin are stress, lack of sleep, poor nutrition, pollution, damage from the sun’s ultraviolet rays, excessive smoking and drinking.
Though there are numerous beauty care products that promise a clear and glowing skin, it is advisable to try some of the following simple and easy home remedies to improve the quality of your skin.
Here are five proven ways to enrich your skin naturally
1. Lemon
The citric acid in lemon helps keep the skin clear by removing dead cells, and its vitamin C content helps reduce dark spots by increasing the cell renewal process.
playLemon
(Health plus)Lemon also has bleaching properties that will help improve your overall skin complexion.
Apply fresh-squeezed lemon juice to your entire face and neck. Leave it on for 10 minutes and then wash it off with lukewarm water. After this, rub cucumber slices on your skin to soften and moisturize it.
Do this daily for as long as you can.
Another option is squeezed the juice of one-half lemon and mix one to two tablespoons of raw honey in it. Apply it on your face, leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes and then rinse it off.
To exfoliate your skin, mix two teaspoons each of lemon juice and sugar. Apply the mixture on your face, neck, and hands. Scrub in a circular motion and leave it on for 10 minutes.
Then rinse it off with lukewarm water. This remedy tone once a week promotes skin glow
2. Honey
The moisturizing effect of honey coupled with its antibacterial properties ensures the skin is healthy and radiant.
Apply raw honey directly on the skin. Let it dry uninfluenced and then rinse it off with lukewarm water. The water content in honey will deeply moisturize the skin, making it soft and tender.
This simple remedy could be done once daily or every other day.
playHoney and aloe vera
(Style craze)Alternatively, mix two teaspoons of milk and one teaspoon of honey. Then add one teaspoon of gram flour and mix well.
Apply it all over your face. Leave it for 20 minutes and rinse it off with warm water. Use this face mask once a week to enjoy radiant and clear skin.
3. Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera has many benefits for the skin. Its antibacterial properties help kill bacteria that cause acne, anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe irritated skin, and astringent properties that help heal scars.
Additionally, aloe vera moisturizes the skin and stimulates new skin cell growth.
Apply aloe vera gel on your face with a cotton ball by extracting it from the leaf. Allow it to dry on its own for about half an hour, and then rinsed off with lukewarm water.
Follow this remedy daily or several times per week
4. Baking soda
Baking soda balances the skin pH level, which is very important to maintain clear skin.
In addition, its mild antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties help deal with problems like acne, pimples, and spots.
playBaking soda
(Tuyetmi.com)It also works as an excellent exfoliating agent to keep the skin free from dirt, impurities and dead skin cells.
Mix one teaspoon of baking soda with one teaspoon of water or lemon juice to make a paste. Cleanse your face and use the paste to gently exfoliate the skin.
Finally, rinse your face with lukewarm water and pat it dry with a towel. Do this twice or three times a week.
5. Baking soda & honey
You should mix one teaspoon each of baking soda and raw honey. Apply this mixture onto damp skin and massage gently for just one minute.
Wash with lukewarm water; and splash some cold water on your face to close the pores. Do this once a week for effective result.
The rainy season is in full force and we have some reprieve from the daily heat. While everything is cool and green, sadly, this season also comes with some health concerns. Colds, the flu, cholera, dengue fever (Yes, Dengue fever!), food and water infections are more prevalent during the rains. Never one to let a bit of water stop us from living life to the fullest, here are our tips to keep you feeling bright and sunny even though the Mother Nature feels otherwise.
1. Stay Protected
Have you ever wondered why people get more colds when they get soaked by the rain? Researchers found that chilling the body, especially the feet, can cause cold symptoms to appear in someone already prone to the cold virus. A theory is that in a bid to preserve warmth, the body restricts blood flow to our extremities including the nose. This results in a cold nose which cold viruses prefer! Our tip –don’t get caught out in the rain without a way to protect yourself.
2. Step up the ‘Special C’
Vitamin C, either in natural form or as a food supplement helps to speed up recovery from the cold virus. While it is still being debated among doctors whether Vitamin C is a cure for cold, a healthy supply is never a bad thing as it helps support your antibodies and reduce the severity of cold. Try to include red and green peppers, papaya and pineapple into your diet as they are good sources of vitamin C.
3. Take a shower
Seems counterproductive right? Why get wet again after getting wet? However taking a shower (a hot/warm one is even better) after you have been caught in the rain will slowly raise your body temperature whilst also getting rid of the germs and protecting you from many infections.If you don’t feel like having a shower, try soaking your feet in warm water.
4. Go for steamy fluids
In this season, you can do no wrong with hot drinks – it’s already cold out there. Our personal favourite is green tea or hot chocolate. A bowl of hot soup isn’t a bad idea either and even offers an opportunity to practice your chicken pepper soup cooking skills. This can prevent you from catching cold or other infections that occur due to sudden changes in body temperature.
5. Keep it clean and tidy
In the rainy season, people are more likely to stay indoors and close the windows to stay warm. While this may seem nice and cosy, it’s important to note that germs are more likely to spread so hygiene is key. Keep your environment clean and sanitized. Even if you catch a cold, keep your hands clean by washing them regularly or use a hand sanitizer.
6. Love H20
It’s normal to drink less water as you’re not as thirsty in the cool temperature. However, don’t wait to get thirsty before drinking water – you’re already dehydrated by then. Staying hydrated even in reduced temperatures will help you drain toxins from your body because you’ll feel an even greater need to pee regularly.
7. Watch what you eat
Keep nutrition in mind and avoid eating street food during the rainy season as much as you can. Do more home cooked meals and maintain high hygienic standards in the kitchen.The list can go on and on but with these 7 tips, your chances of staying healthy during the daily showers are higher, whether you’re at home, work, or just having a nice time outdoors.
Do you know that some pregnant women chew weird stuff like ice, chalk, clay and even sand? This sounds strange but it is due to a condition called ‘Pica’ which is sometimes attributed to iron deficiency anaemia. When you think about all the weird cravings some pregnant women have, this begins to make sense.
There are various kinds of anemia but iron deficiency anemia is the most common. When a woman is pregnant, there is a 30-50% increase in her blood volume to support her and the foetus. This in turn, decreases her blood’s haemoglobin concentration.
Since the body needs iron to make haemoglobin, red blood-cell production slows without sufficient iron stores. This is why a pregnant woman’s daily iron requirement increases to 27mg from around 13mg as there is always a higher risk of iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy.
The following symptoms are pointers to iron deficiency anemia:
- Tiredness or fatigue
- Frequent Headaches
- Dizziness and shortness of breath
- Rapid or irregular heartbeat
- Numbness or cold feeling in the hands and feet
Although the baby may not be affected because it takes all the iron needed to thrive first before the mother if left untreated, the anemia can become severe. This might result in poor fetal growth, preterm birth or low birth weight, as well as increasing the mother’s risk of requiring a blood transfusion during delivery or having postpartum depression.
While iron can either be gotten through supplements, the following tips can help you maintain normal levels of iron through your diet during pregnancy:
It’s all in what we eat
We can get two forms of iron through our diet: heme and non-heme. Heme iron originates from animal sources and is easier for your body to absorb. Non-heme iron can be found in plant-based, iron-fortified foods, and supplements. Both heme and non-heme iron can be found in red meat, poultry, and seafood. To make sure you are getting enough, eat a variety of iron-rich foods every day.
A good time for beef
Some of the best sources of iron can be gotten from red meat, poultry-, and fish. A particularly high concentration of iron can be found in animal liver – which we call édó. However, it also contains unsafe amounts of vitamin A so consume sparingly. It’s best to limit liver consumption to one or two servings a month during pregnancy. If you are on a strictly vegetarian diet, you can still get iron from legumes like beans, peas, peanuts; vegetables, and grains.
Good for your bones but…
While it’s an important nutrient, calcium can also hinder iron absorption. If you have a recommendation from your doctor to take both an iron and a calcium supplement, be sure to ask for advice on how to space them out during the day.
Vitamin ‘C’ for the win
While calcium can be like speed bumps on your path to iron sufficiency, Vitamin C is a six-lane freeway. You just can’t go wrong with it so include a source of vitamin C in every meal, especially when eating vegetarian sources of iron, like beans. Examples include orange juice, actual oranges, tangerine, lemon, melon, tomatoes, and bell peppers. Including vitamin C in your diet can help you absorb up to six times more iron.
Other inhibitors
There are lots of healthy foods but there is a time for them and pregnancy demands that you become a bit picky with your diet. A number of healthy foods contain “iron inhibitors”– naturally occurring substances that can interfere with iron absorption (remember calcium up there?). This might not be a bother when it’s just you but with the little one snuggled in there, you need as much as you can. Examples of iron inhibitors include phytates in whole grains and legumes, polyphenols in coffee and tea, oxalates in soy foods and spinach, as well as calcium in dairy products.

Hepatitis: How Knowing The Risks Can Keep You Safe
By Unknown - Friday, September 08, 2017
Sometimes, in our attempt to stay healthy, we tend to focus more on the ‘popular’ diseases while ignoring others – like there’s an MVP list to attend to. As such, one of the most overlooked diseases is Hepatitis. The Hepatitis virus is a silent but deadly disease that attacks the liver and causes long term health conditions like liver cancer, cirrhosis, etc. Although hepatitis A, B, and C are the most common types due to their highly contagious nature, there are other types of hepatitis viruses as well.
According to the World Health Organisation 350 million people around the world are infected with Hepatitis. Of that number, over 20 million are Nigerians and less than 5% don’t even know they are carrying the virus. Also, just like other highly infectious diseases, anyone at any age can be infected with hepatitis, with the highest number of infected people being between the ages of 20 -29.
Hepatitis can however be prevented – vaccines are available for hepatitis A and B, but not C. Hence, it is important to take precautions to avoid catching it at all. To help increase your chances of staying in the clear, we have compiled a list of hepatitis risk factors below for you to keep in mind.
Contaminated objects, food, drinks
Hepatitis A can be spread by consuming food, fruits, vegetables, salads or beverages that have been contaminated with the faeces of an infected person. The infection can also be spread through close contact with a person who has hepatitis – for example, by changing a diaper (who would have thought!). Poor sanitary conditions and bad hygiene also increase the risks. Wash anything you want to eat, even if you’re going to peel it.
Unclean Hands
It is possible for Hepatitis A to survive outside the body for months. Maintaining good hygiene habits like washing your hands or using hand sanitizer after using the toilet, changing a diaper, and before handling food or eating helps prevent the spread of hepatitis A. When using a public restroom, and use a paper towel to flush, turn off the faucet and open the door on your way out.
Sharing Personal Items
They’re ‘personal’. Get it? If you don’t see anything wrong in using someone else’s toothbrush or other ‘personal’ effects, then you need to have a rethink. There’s a 2%-5% chance of transmitting hepatitis B and C through the use of items belonging to a carrier. That goes for razors, nail clippers, towels, needles, or anything else that might harbor traces of infected blood. Even routine activities like visits to the salon or barbershop may pose a small risk of exposure so use equipment belonging to you alone.
Sexual Contact
Ah, the good old…*cough*. Sexual intercourse with someone who has hepatitis B is a major cause of new infections. The hepatitis B virus can be found in an infected person’s blood, vaginal fluid, or semen. Other than abstaining from sex, being vaccinated is the surest way to avoid an infection. Latex condoms and dental dams may, however, help reduce your risk, too.
Contaminated Blood
Hepatitis B and C can be spread through infected blood and body fluids. A baby can also be infected by the mother during birth or through contact with an open wound. It can also be spread by contaminated dental instruments, though sterilization practices make this unlikely. Donor blood is also screened, so the risk of hepatitis from a transfusion is small.
Remember, hepatitis has caused more deaths than HIV. Make the choice to stay healthy today.
