Revealing !!!
Do you know that visceral fat aka Pot Belly is now a linking cause of
 Cancer. Both men and women with higher percentages of belly fat are more likely to develop a variety of cancers, including malignancies of the colon, kidney and breast.

 Dementia. In a study of 6,583 adults, the bigger the belly, the greater the risk for dementia. Surprising finding: Among those of normal weight who had excess belly fat, dementia risk was 1.89 times higher than for those of normal weight who did not have excess belly fat.

 Lung problems. Lung function is reduced in patients with higher stores of belly fat, possibly because of the higher secretion of lung-damaging inflammatory chemicals.

 Diabetes. An apple-shaped fat distribution greatly increases the risk for insulin resistance (a condition in which the body’s cells don’t use insulin properly) and diabetes. The risks are even higher in those who are sedentary. People who have lost muscle mass, as a result, take in less blood sugar (glucose), which is used as fuel — further increasing diabetes risk.

 Migraines. Researchers at Drexel University College of Medicine found that women with large amounts of belly fat were up to 30% more likely than lean women to suffer from migraine headaches.

 Do you know that Visceral Fat (pot belly) causes High Blood Pressure, Heart Attack and other Heart related diseases?

 It has also lead people developing Asthma.
Do you know that Visceral Fat is a major cause of Erectile Dysfunction and

It was also discovered that men with Visceral Fat aka Pot belly are at risk of an Enlarged prostate or Prostate Cancer

[center]HOW MY MACHINE GUN ALMOST STOP WORKING[/center]


Mr. Kenneth Onwe almost lost his bedroom GROOVE and marriage to an enlarged prostate.

Not prostate cancer, just a “benign condition” enlarged prostate.

He agreed to share his story in the hope that many with similar condition will not have to suffer the same way he did.

I am a 41-year-old native of Ebonyi state, a banker by profession, married to a beautiful lady who also happens to be a banker.



We have been resident in Lagos for the past 8 years.

I started noticing urination problems that suggest that my urine stream had gotten weaker.

I was forced to get up frequently at night to use the toilet.

Seeing that myself and my wife were both bankers based in Lagos, there was a need to wake up very

early in the morning (Mondays through Fridays) to prepare for work.



This became very stressful considering that we always got home very late because of the very notorious "Lagos Traffic".

We had to agree that I should be sleeping in the living room to prevent me from waking my wife every time I got up to urinate.



I started waking up at least three to four times at night to urinate; even though I suspected there was a

problem, I did not act until my wife insisted I go see a specialist.

After weeks of resistance, I eventually saw a specialist who conducted a comprehensive test and gave

me the "bad news"... I had  Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as an enlarged

prostate.

When I got the news like a million thoughts ran through my mind at the same time... Prostate Cancer...

Operation... Impotency... The big man down there (you know what I mean)... My wife... my life...my job etc...



I later got to know that men who have pot belly, arthritis or even diabetes are more prone to developing

prostate cancer than the average person.

I was treated for an enlarged prostate without going under the knife, unfortunately, it did not work for me

because just a few weeks later, I started having painful ejaculations, pain in my prostate region and a

major drop in my manly performance.



It was back to "status quo" for me as I still could not perform my duties (kerewa) as I should; it was

causing a major strain on my marriage.

I refused to go back to the Hospital because I had heard of the side effects of surgery.

I went on to manage the situation for the next three years until I met with a customer in the bank

that showed me a Proven Solution that turned my life around in just three weeks with absolutely no

side effects...

 

Now I am a "Man" again and my wife told me just recently that she feels like a newlywed...

Which is why I needed to get the word out for everyone to know about this amazing Proven solution

that has helped to revitalize my life and brought back my GIG with my wife.

 Click the button below now to read more stories and how you too can get this solution.

IT IS A MUST for Every man who is approaching 40 years of age to read this and start to

taking care of his Prostate to avoid prostate problem in the future. 

I know your question will be what did you use?

[center]STROKE: Signs, Symptoms, Causes, Types, and Treatment[/center]

In continuation with our HEART SERIES; we are looking at STROKE: Signs, Symptoms, Causes, Types, and Treatment.

Let us refresh our memory again from our last post on

STROKE; When the brain's blood supply is inadequate, a stroke results.

Strokes are brain attacks.

They occur when the blood supply to the brain becomes blocked.

A stroke is a medical emergency that needs immediate medical attention.

Stroke symptoms (for example, loss of an arm or leg function or slurred speech) signify a medical emergency because, without

treatment, blood-deprived brain cells quickly become damaged or die, resulting in brain injury, serious disability, or death.

This Health and Beauty 102 article will explain why strokes occur and how they are treated,

as well as exploring the different types and the steps a person can take to prevent a stroke.


Signs of a Stroke

The F.A.S.T. test was designed in 1998 to help ambulance staff in the United Kingdom quickly assess stroke.

It takes into account the most common symptoms of stroke and is designed to help quickly assess a stroke

with very little training.

F.A.S.T. Test
F means face -- If one side of the face droops, it's a sign of a possible stroke
A means arms -- If the person cannot hold both arms out, it's another possible stroke sign
S means speech -- Slurring words and poor understanding of simple sentences is another possible stroke sign
T means time -- If any of the FAS signs are positive, it's Time to call 9-1-1 immediately


Stroke Symptoms

What are the warning signs and symptoms of a stroke?
There may be no warning signs of a stroke until it occurs.

It is why high blood pressure (hypertension), one of the risk factors for stroke, is called the silent killer.

There may be no warning signs of a stroke until it occurs. It is why high blood pressure (hypertension),

one of the risk factors for stroke is called the silent killer.

Initial symptoms of a stroke can occur in someone suddenly. Know these signs of a stroke:

The Difficulty speaking
They have Difficulty understanding or confusion, especially with simple tasks
There is Difficulty with muscle strength, especially on one side of the body
Difficulty with numbness, especially on one side of the body
Severe headache
Vision changes (in one or both eyes)
Also Difficulty with swallowing
Facial droop on one side


What Causes a Stroke?
Common causes of stroke come from blood vessels both outside and inside the brain.

Atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) can occur when plaque (deposits of cholesterol, calcium, fat, and other substances)

builds up and narrows the vessel making it easy for clots to form and further occlude the vessel.

The clots can break free only to occlude smaller vessels inside the brain.

The blood vessels inside the brain itself can accumulate this plaque.

Occasionally, weakened vessels can burst and bleed into the brain.


Diagnosing Types of Stroke
There are two main types of strokes (ischemic and hemorrhagic) and they are treated differently.

They are often emergently diagnosed by a head CT scan (or an MRI scan).


Ischemic Stroke[/b]

This slide shows a CT scan of an ischemic stroke, which is responsible for about 80% to 90% of all strokes.

Ischemic strokes are caused by clots that reduce or stop blood flow to the brain.

The clot may develop elsewhere in the body and circulate to become lodged in a blood vessel in the brain,

or the clot may originate in the brain.

Ischemic strokes are usually divided into two main subtypes: thrombotic and embolic.

[b]Thrombotic Stroke

Nearly half of all strokes are thrombotic strokes.

Thrombotic strokes are caused when blood clots form in the brain due to a diseased or damaged cerebral artery.



Embolic Stroke

Blood clots also cause embolic strokes.

However, in the case of embolic strokes, the blood clot forms in an artery outside the brain.

Often these blood clots start in the heart and travel until they become lodged in an artery of the brain.

The physical and neurological damage embolic strokes cause is nearly immediate.




Hemorrhagic Stroke[/b]


The circle insert outlines what composes a hemorrhagic stroke.

A blood vessel in the brain breaks open and blood escapes into the brain under pressure, compressing other blood

vessels and brain cells causing damage and death.

This bleeding into the brain is difficult to stop and is more likely to be fatal.

There are two types of hemorrhagic strokes: intracerebral and subarachnoid.

[b]Intracerebral Stroke
 means “within the brain,” and it refers to a stroke caused by a diseased blood vessel bursting within the brain.
Intracerebral strokes are usually caused by high blood pressure.



Subarachnoid Stroke
A subarachnoid hemorrhage refers to bleeding immediately surrounding the brain in the area of the

head called the subarachnoid space.

The main symptom of a subarachnoid stroke is a sudden, severe headache, possibly following a popping or snapping feeling.

Many factors can cause a subarachnoid stroke, including head injury, blood thinners, bleeding disorders

and bleeding from a tangle of blood vessels known as an arteriovenous malformation.



Mini-Stroke (TIA)


"Mini-strokes" (also termed transient ischemic attacks or TIAs) are temporary blockages of blood vessels in the brain.

TIAs can produce mild stroke symptoms that resolve.

TIAs often occur before a stroke happens, so they serve as warning signs that the person may need stroke preventive therapy.

Mini Stroke Symptoms[/b]
Confusion
Weakness
Lethargy
Paralysis
Facial Droop
Vision loss


[b]Mini Stroke Treatment

Treatment for a mini-stroke may include medication, changes in lifestyle, and possibly surgery to reduce the

chances of another stroke occurring.



Guess we can pause it here and continue in our next post where we will talk about;

Stroke Prevention: Managing Medical Conditions
Lifestyle Changes
Uncontrollable Stroke Risk Factors
Stroke Recovery
Preventing Another Stroke: Lifestyle
Treatment and Life After a Stroke

HEART; BLOCKED ARTERIES CAUSES STROKE

Hello, it's been a wonderful weekend of rest after the stress of last week �, unfortunately,

we will be starting the same routine of stress come tomorrow.

 It's important to note that as we face these stressful routines our heart also faces same as well.

So, the question now will be❓❓
How Healthy is your Heart? 
For how long can it withstand the stress you put it through?


Delving into the Topic for today HEART; BLOCKED ARTERIES CAUSES STROKE

We have been doing a series on the HEART for some days now and the aim is to bring the

trend of death due to Heart attack and Heart Diseases to our faces.

Also to help us understand what is really going on in there. 

I said that because there are solutions to every Heart Disease (cardiovascular disease).

In our last post, we looked at the connection between the Heart and Erectile Dysfunction. 

Today our focus is on the relationship between the Heart and  "STROKE".



Stroke

Overview
Think of a stroke as a "brain attack"— it is an emergency!

When symptoms appear, call for help immediately; every minute counts.

A stroke occurs when the brain is deprived of blood supply. Without oxygen, brain cells die.

Depending on the area affected, a person may have problems speaking, walking, seeing, or thinking.

A stroke may result in permanent brain damage or death.

If the stroke is caused by a blood clot, a clot-busting drug may be used to restore blood flow.

click on this � link https:// https:/healthandbeauty102.com/heart;blockedarterycausesstroke  to get a blood clot-busting � drug or the full save a heart pack

Blood supply of the brain
To understand stroke, it is helpful to know how blood circulates to the brain (see Anatomy of the Brain).

Blood is pumped from the heart and carried to the brain by two paired arteries,

the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.

The internal carotid arteries supply the anterior (front) areas, the vertebral arteries supply the posterior (back) areas of the brain.

After passing through the skull, the right and left vertebral arteries join together to form a single basilar artery.

The basilar artery and the internal carotid arteries communicate with each other in a ring at the base of the

brain called the Circle of Willis.

The middle cerebral artery is the artery most often blocked during a stroke



A stroke is a sudden interruption of the blood supply to the brain.

The middle cerebral artery is most often blocked during a stroke.

The internal carotid arteries form the anterior (green) circulation and

the vertebral/basilar arteries supply the posterior (red) circulation of the brain.

The two systems connect at the Circle of Willis (circle).

Please pardon all this medical jargon, just want to give us a visual explanation of stroke.


Types of stroke include:
A) Ischemic stroke due to a build-up of atherosclerotic plaques,

B) An embolic stroke from blood clots that stick to plaques and break off,

C) A hemorrhagic stroke from bleeding into the subarachnoid space, and

D) Intracerebral hemorrhage from tiny vessel ruptures due to hypertension.




Types of stroke


Ischemic
(“is-skeem-ic”) stroke occurs when an artery to the brain is blocked.

Ischemic stroke is by far the most common kind of stroke, accounting for about 88 percent of all strokes.

Stroke can affect people of all ages, including children.

The brain depends on its arteries to bring fresh blood from the heart and lungs.

The blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain and takes away carbon dioxide and cellular waste.

If an artery is blocked, the brain cells (neurons) cannot make enough energy and will eventually stop working.

If the artery remains blocked for more than a few minutes, the brain cells may die.

This is why immediate medical treatment is critical



Embolic stroke
- is caused when a clot breaks off from the artery wall it becomes an embolus,

which can travel farther down the bloodstream to block a smaller artery.

Emboli usually come from the heart, where different diseases cause clot formation.



Hemorrhagic stroke
- (less common - 13% of cases) is caused by the rupture or leaking of an artery either within or around the brain.

It occurs when a weakened blood vessel ruptures, releasing blood into the space surrounding the brain.

This is called a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).

It can be caused by a ruptured aneurysm (Fig. 2C), arteriovenous malformation (AVM), or head trauma.



 Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH):
is known as Bleeding within the brain tissue itself and is primarily caused by hypertension (Fig. D).

Hypertension is an elevation of blood pressure which may cause tiny arteries to burst inside the brain.



Let's pause it here, we will continue with the causes, symptoms and solutions in our next post.

I got this question "is it normal to menstruate during pregnancy?" from a client today.

I decided to write about it as a blog post for the benefit of those that might have the same challenge... not to worry we will continue our heart series in our next post.

Hello guys, I believe we all had a great day.

So, the question ❓ is:

Can you get your period while you're pregnant?

No. You can't have your menstrual period while you're pregnant.

Some women do have vaginal bleeding during pregnancy.

Some even report intermittent bleeding that seems like a regular period to them.

But vaginal bleeding during pregnancy is not the same thing as menstruation.

Menstruation only happens when you're not pregnant:

Each month, your uterus grows a thick blood-rich lining in preparation for an egg to embed there.

If you don't get pregnant that month, you shed this tissue and blood – that's your menstrual period.

But once an egg embeds in the uterine lining, hormones tell the blood-rich tissue to stay intact to support the growing baby.

And you won't shed it and start having your period again until your pregnancy is over.


Bleeding occurs during pregnancy for various reasons, some serious and some not.

Some women have light bleeding or spotting in the week before their period is due and they may mistake that for a period.

It's generally a lot lighter than a typical period and lasts just a day or two.

This spotting has been called "implantation bleeding" because of the idea that it might be caused by the fertilized egg burrowing into the blood-rich lining of the uterus.

But no one knows what really causes it.

You may have spotting after a Pap smear, vaginal exam, or sex.

This is because there's more blood going to your cervix during pregnancy.

Bleeding can also be a sign of something seriously wrong, such as an infection, placental problems, miscarriage, or an ectopic pregnancy, which can be life-threatening.

If you notice bleeding while you're pregnant, call your doctor or midwife right away, even if the bleeding has stopped.

Many women who bleed a little during pregnancy deliver without complications, but you may need an evaluation to rule out a serious problem.

If you're actively bleeding or have severe pain of any kind, head straight to the emergency room.

Today's post is for our HUSBANDS, SONS, SON-INLAWS and our BROTHERS...

How Blocked Arteries Can Lead to Erectile Dysfunction ED.

Hello everyone, today is another beautiful day to live in our best health and just be beautiful.

Also, want to say happy holiday to all our kids and to our parents the lord is our muscles �

Let me share;

Little tips to keep our kids healthy during this holiday; eat a lot of veggies, drink natural juice eg smoothies, eat a lot of fiber base food.

Make sure they are free from germs and bacteria or give them kids supplements that will increase their immunity to enable their body to defend and heal itself.

Before I divert from today's Gist. We love you kids...�❤️��



Taking off from our last post on heart-disease-causes, we will be looking at "The Heart And Erectile Dysfunction ED"

So, I will like to show us how a Blocked Arteries Can Lead to Erectile Dysfunction ED.


You might think that ED (erectile dysfunction) has nothing to do with your heart.

But if you have ED, it could be a sign that your arteries are clogged.

It’s all about blood flow. To get and keep an erection, blood needs to have no problem getting to your joystick.

Blood needs to have no problem getting to your joystick.

If you have ED, it can mean that one or more of your blood vessels have narrowed or are blocked.

Plaque in your arteries can make that happen.

Doctors call it “atherosclerosis,” which means the hardening of the arteries due to plaque buildup.

click on this link � https://healthandbeauty102.com/the-heart-and-erectile-dysfunction-ed/ to get our MACHO MANPACK �� that will restore your pride as a MAN �️


What Happens in The Heart And Erectile Dysfunction ED

When your heart pumps, blood goes through arteries to get to different parts of your body.

To get to the joystick, blood first goes through arteries in the belly and then branch off.

When it's time for an erection, these arteries widen or dilate. More blood flows into the joystick, making it swell. More blood flows into the joystick, making it swell.

Erectile dysfunction can mean that at least some of the blood vessels on that path aren't in perfect health.

Even if you don’t have a blocked artery yet, the lining of your blood vessels might not work as well as it should.

Atherosclerosis isn’t the only reason that ED can happen. See your doctor find out what the cause is in your case.


6 Things That Make Atherosclerosis More Likely

Most men with ED have risks that make them more likely to get atherosclerosis, such as:

1. Atherosclerosis in family members
2. High cholesterol levels
3. High blood pressure
4. Diabetes
5. Obesity
6. Smoking


Let's call it a day from here, we will be looking at "the heart and stroke" on our next post, remember we are still on our Heart series.

So look out for our next post because it's going to be information pack, I promise.

Before I divert from today's Gist. We love you kids...�❤️��



Taking off from our last post on heart-disease-causes, we will be looking at "The Heart And Erectile Dysfunction ED"

So, I will like to show us how a Blocked Arteries Can Lead to Erectile Dysfunction ED. 


You might think that ED (erectile dysfunction) has nothing to do with your heart.

But if you have ED, it could be a sign that your arteries are clogged.

It’s all about blood flow. To get and keep an erection, blood needs to have no problem getting to your penis.

Blood needs to have no problem getting to your penis.

If you have ED, it can mean that one or more of your blood vessels have narrowed or are blocked.

Plaque in your arteries can make that happen.

Doctors call it “atherosclerosis,” which means the hardening of the arteries due to plaque buildup.

The Heart Works 24/7 involuntarily. It pumps 8,000 litres of blood & 100,000 times daily. Research shows that 17.3million people die yearly from heart-related issues.

We lost 9 Nigerian Lawmakers in 2 years, 2 Nigerian Coaches within 3days due to Heart-related issues. Many more have died *SUDDENLY*

Your HEART Age is Probably Much Older than it should be, And Here’s Why.

There is need to Save the HEART, in order to prevent the next HEART ATTACK…

Heart Disease Causes, Symptoms, and Factors

Hello beautiful people, it's another wonderful day to be alive and Healthy and believes we are all in good Health.

Yesterday we started an interesting and information packed series on the HEART.

The major aim of this series is to bring the knowledge home and to our faces to enlighten us on the importance of having a Healthy Heart.

Before we delve into the matter of the day lets first all understand how the Heart works.



Understanding How the Heart Works


The heart is the hardest working muscle in the body.

The average heart beats 100,000 times a day, day and night, to supply oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.

Blood pumped by the heart also shuttles waste products such as carbon dioxide to the lungs so it can be eliminated from the body.

Proper heart function is essential to support life.

According to WHO;

Statistics has revealed that 150,000 Nigerians die annually as a result of heart-related diseases and alarmingly,

the number is expected to increase to 23 million by the year 2030 if adequate measures are not taken.

While Heart disease is the leading killer in the United States and affects an estimated 14 million adults.

Heart disease is responsible for more deaths in the U.S. than the 2nd through 7th leading causes of death combined.

Also, 34 per cent of the adult population in Nigeria live with ‎High Blood Pressure especially cardiovascular heart disease

before the age of 50 and the number is said to be on the increase as a result of poor diet,

the absence of healthy lifestyle, lack of exercise, and others.



So...

What is Heart Disease?

Coronary artery disease (CAD), commonly known as heart disease.

Heart disease develops when a combination of fatty material, calcium, and scar tissue (plaque) builds up in the arteries

that supply the heart with blood.

What is Plaque? - "plaque is like a firm shell with a soft inner core containing cholesterol"

Through these arteries, called the coronary arteries, the heart muscle (myocardium) gets the oxygen and other nutrients it

needs to pump blood.

The plaque often narrows the artery so that the heart does not get enough blood.

When a coronary artery narrows due to plaque buildup or some other cause, the heart muscle is starved for

oxygen and a person experiences chest pain known as angina.

If plaque completely blocks blood flow (like the 3rd artery in the picture above), it may cause a heart attack

myocardial infarction) or a fatal rhythm disturbance (sudden cardiac arrest).



How Does Heart Attack Happen

When a piece of a fatty plaque (plaque is like a firm shell with a soft inner core containing cholesterol) in a coronary artery breaks off or ruptures.

When this happens, a blood clot forms in the area in response to the injury.

click on this link https://healthandbeauty102.com/heart-disease-causes/ to get what will dissolve the plaque and restore the Heart back to Health.

The clot may block the flow of blood through the artery, causing a heart attack.

Sadly, some heart attacks lead to the heart-stopping completely, a situation known as the sudden cardiac arrest.

The heart may also start to beat in a very dangerous rhythm called ventricular tachycardia, which is potentially fatal.



Guess we have said a lot today and it's probably a good place for us to stop for now.

Look out for our next post on the symptoms and signs to look at for as it relates to Heart disease.

What Is The Heart?

According to wikipedia.com. The heart is a muscular organ in most animals,

which pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system.

Blood provides the body with oxygen and nutrients, as well as assists in the removal of metabolic wastes.

In humans, the heart is located between the lungs, in the middle compartment of the chest.

Good day everyone.

I am very pleased to be alive and healthy knowing my heart is well nourished and taking care of properly.

like the saying goes; knowledge is Power!!!

I am also very pleased talking to everyone that will read this post and listen to the podcast because;

It's going to be information packed I promise you...

The reason for this Heart series is to create more awareness of the alarming rise of Heart-related issues.

The statistics are scary... We will soon get to that.

I like to describe the Heart as a pumping machine;

Imagine this scenario;

You live in an apartment  8 flats and just one pimping machine pumps water for everyone.

What do you think will happen?

Guess your answer is same as mine- the machine will need frequent replacement but unfortunately, the Heart can't afford that.

The Heart is the centre of our lives and we have been giving our hearts more work than it can carry unknowingly.

Facts about the Heart:



Let's end it here today. In our next post, we will continue our exposition of the heart.

Take care.

Good Morning and a happy new month to all everyone in the house.
It's another beautiful Monday, the first day of the week and first Monday in the month of July.

Today I am sharing another fresh testimony from one of our client that used our product.

#copied
Good morning.
My name is John Badmus (real name withheld).

My sexual performance was okay to a large extent- I could last up to 10 minutes (sometimes though... lol) on a normal session. I know how to control my performance to last up to 10mins if I choose to.

I only began to use this "supplement" because I wanted to make myself as a control experiment for my parents who I initially bought the "Supplement" for. Sorry, I had to remove the name of the supplement because they didn't pay for advert... lol cheesy

So, I started using it twice a day as it's prescribed on the pack.

But in the morning, I took it as early as 5:45 am when I normally take my one glass of water therapy before leaving the house for my office and I took it at night after dinner before I slept. Because my parents were at that time taking it twice daily as well.

I was on it for two months. But the result started showing only after three weeks. I just discovered that my libido had gone through the roof.
Also, I was staying much longer before I came out of cloud 9 if you get what I mean wink.

I suddenly began to notice my wife's beauty like never before. She too began to get concerned because I kept commenting on her beauty anytime she passed by. My desire for her suddenly increased o shocked.

And while on it, she would wonder that even after 20mins I was yet to get there, you know na!!!

I was enjoying it sha o. I cannot lie smiley. Of course, I get her there first so she will not accuse me of selfishness and every two days I am ready again.

She is getting concerned o. I thought women wanted men that stay longer. My wife said mine has become too much...hahaha (this is somebody that used to complain that I was a 2-minute man ooo hahahaha)

All of this happened after two weeks when our dear consultant Sandra advised that my parents should increase their dosage. So, that meant I also had to increase mine, since I was the control experiment.

It was after one week of starting this new dosage, I noticed that my libido had suddenly skyrocketed.

I began to desire my wife as if we were not married or touched her before- I can't explain the feeling properly. But we have been married for almost 12 years now with two children and, of course, I began to last beyond 15 mins per session.

Even if I tried to make it quicker, it was just enjoyment galore without coming out of cloud nine. My wife began to complain a bit when she noticed all this and was asking if I had discovered another way of extending my pleasure. I told her nooo.

But I later confessed to her, it was since I started using the "supplement" that I also discovered the changes. Even now, whenever she comes close to me in the living room, she is very careful not to arouse me, because mere touching her body with my hand, she knows that I will become hungry for her suddenly, and she does not have all the time for my desires ����

As for my parents, my mother now goes to the toilet regularly. Before she started using (the same supplement), her bowels used to be tight for as long as 3 days, which is not good for her age.

She informed me last Saturday that all her supplements have finished. So I am going to order another batch today.
Madam Sandra, I will call you later for more ooo.
Thanks

Lagosians wake up to high blood pressure

In Nigeria’s megacity of Lagos, lifestyles resemble those of developed countries and hypertension is increasingly becoming a problem.

Motunrayo Bello reports.

Bulletin of the World Health Organization.

Joseph Otu (not his real name) found out about his blood pressure problem the hard way.

Woke up in the middle of the night with a headache, he had difficulty speaking and

felt weak on one side of his body.

The 54-year-old Nigerian professional driver had no idea what was happening to him but feared the worst.

His family took him to a clinic near his home in Ibafo in the sprawling megacity of Lagos,

where a nurse checked his blood pressure.

Blood pressure readings are comprised of two values: one for systolic and one for diastolic pressure;

anything equal to or above 140 over 90 is considered high.

Otu’s stood at 175 over 110, a level at which he faced an increased risk of stroke, heart attack,

and kidney failure. “We started praying,” says Otu.

The fact that Otu had no idea about his blood pressure status before the clinical diagnosis is not unusual.

High blood pressure requires the heart to work harder than normal to circulate blood through the blood vessels.

The symptoms of high blood pressure, also known as hypertension, are not always obvious, which makes regular check-ups essential.

Need for Creating Awareness For The Dangers Of High Blood Pressure
Nigeria is one of many developing countries where the health services have focused on treating infectious diseases,

such as malaria and tuberculosis, but in recent years, noncommunicable conditions have become an increasing problem.

One of the most prevalent noncommunicable conditions worldwide, hypertension is responsible for an

estimated 45% of deaths due to heart disease and 51% of deaths due to stroke globally.

Of WHO’s six regions, the African region has the highest prevalence of hypertension estimated at 46% of adults aged

25 and above, according to WHO’s Global status report on noncommunicable diseases 2010.

Moreover, the problems caused by hypertension are made worse when people are not aware of the necessity for

– or unable to afford – regular blood pressure checks.

This year’s World Health Day, on 7 April, the aim was to promote more awareness of the causes and consequences

of high blood pressure, as well as how it can be prevented, and to encourage national and local authorities to

do more about this growing problem.

“We hope this campaign will encourage more adults to check their blood pressure but also that health authorities

will make blood pressure measurement affordable for everyone,” says Dr. Shanthi Mendis, a medical officer at WHO.

In many developing countries few people go for routine medical check-ups to monitor the risk factors associated with

noncommunicable diseases. And Nigeria is no exception.

Dr. Kingsley Akinroye, executive director of the Nigerian Heart Foundation, a nongovernmental

organization (NGO), says that “the health system offers diagnosis and treatment only to those who pay for it”.

Even when people do go for a medical check-up, diagnosis of such chronic conditions can be

unreliable at primary health level.

Toyin Ogunde, a shopkeeper living in Lagos, another Lagosian that wakes up to high blood pressure,

she went to the doctor reporting headaches and dizziness,

says she was prescribed medication for typhoid and malaria before her family finally persuaded her

to go to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital for a second opinion.

“I didn’t know anything about hypertension before I came here,” says the 58-year-old hypertension patient.

Money a barrier to blood pressure check

According to Dr. Olayinka Ogunleye, who works in the hypertension unit at that hospital, it costs around 1000 Nigerian Naira

(US$ 6.36) for a patient to have his or her blood pressure checked.

Ogunleye says that although this fee may deter some people from finding out their blood pressure status,

many others are simply unaware of the health consequences or indifferent to the risks of untreated hypertension.

“People don’t think it is important to spend money and time on their health; they would rather spend more

money on luxuries,” he says.



Currently, fewer than 4% of Nigerians are covered by health insurance.

These include civil servants working for the federal government and women and children under the Maternal and Child Health-

-Project, which is funded by the US government (USAID).

There are plans to roll out coverage for such basic and essential health services including access to diagnosis and

treatment of hypertension under a national health bill, which the federal government is currently considering.

Given the lack of routine blood pressure checks in Nigeria, it is not surprising that the country’s statistics

on hypertension are unreliable.

“Most data are outdated speculation based on mathematical models and surveys that are scanty and unrepresentative with

low validity,”

says Dr. Anthony Usoro, national coordinator for noncommunicable diseases at the Federal Ministry of Health in Abuja.

“The lack of reliable data has made it very difficult for policy-makers to concentrate efforts to control the

emerging health burden of the disease.”

Worse, says Akinroye, the lack of hard data has sometimes been used to deny the existence of the problem.

But for all his concerns regarding the lack of adequate programmes at both the state and federal level,

Akinroye does see signs of a change in attitudes.

He points out the federal government is currently putting together a national policy on noncommunicable diseases.

“The policy is due to be out later this year and will aid the response to hypertension,” he says.

While Nigeria’s plans to tackle the problem, yet to be announced, the factors that are making it worse are clear.

“The high prevalence of hypertension is explained in part by lifestyle changes, many related to changing environmental and social

factors” says Dr. Obinna Ekwunife, a lecturer at the University of Nigeria in the south-eastern town of Nsukka.



Factors Causing High Blood Pressure

Ekwunife cites factors such as increased

*salt

*fat intake from the consumption of processed foods,

*cholesterol in the food we eat causing plaques in the arteries,

*increased tobacco use, and sedentary lifestyles.



“An increasing number of Nigerians are driving to work and participating in jobs with minimal physical activity,”

he says. Nowhere are these problems felt more acutely than in the country’s burgeoning urban areas.

Lagos is a rapidly expanding city that is home to an estimated 10 million people, and, according to a recent

United Nations Habitat report, is projected to overtake Cairo to become the largest city in Africa with 12.4 million

inhabitants in 2015.

As Lagos state commissioner for health, Dr. Jide Idris spends a lot of his time thinking about the particular

heart health challenges faced by the city’s residents, challenges which,

he says, is by no means limited to poor diet and lack of physical activity.

“Urbanization brings risks other than sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy diet.

City life has implications for levels of stress and loss of family cohesion as well,” he says.

Idris is also keen to point out that hypertension is not just a rich man’s problem.

“Hypertension cuts across gender and socioeconomic status,” he says.

Idris emphasizes the importance of traditional prevention efforts, which he says are the main focus of his

strategy in Lagos state.



Free Blood Pressure Checked In Lagos

In recognition of the fact that prevention and diagnosis of hypertension can be weak at primary health care level,

a key aspect of these efforts is to strengthen such services in the state’s 277 clinics.

“We are providing the diagnosis in public health facilities and there are some financial mechanisms that

can support the poor people,” Idris says.

For tertiary care, he says that a new, high tech cardiac and renal center is currently under construction

in Gbagada district in the north of the city.

A key element of Lagos state’s preventive approach is raising public awareness about hypertension

through sponsored advertising in Nigeria’s national daily newspapers.

Lagos state government is also investing in safe walkways alongside roads to allow people to walk without fear

of accidents, encouraging more physical exercise.

Idris says he hopes that state-wide campaigns, using resources such as local government councils,

community-based organizations, and NGOs. are making a difference.

“I personally believe that the awareness is much better than when we started,” he says.

Akinroye too expresses qualified optimism;

Noting that more Nigerians are aware of basic information regarding the dangers of consuming high fat, salt

or tobacco use on blood pressure.

Joseph Otu is one of them. “My doctor told me of the contributing factors,” he says,

“I am now encouraging my friends to eat and live healthier lives so they don’t fall victim like

other Lagosians that wake up to High Blood Pressure.”

Lagosians wake up to high blood pressure

In Nigeria’s megacity of Lagos, lifestyles resemble those of developed countries and hypertension is increasingly becoming a problem.

Motunrayo Bello reports.

Bulletin of the World Health Organization.

Joseph Otu (not his real name) found out about his blood pressure problem the hard way.

Woke up in the middle of the night with a headache, he had difficulty speaking and

felt weak on one side of his body.

The 54-year-old Nigerian professional driver had no idea what was happening to him but feared the worst.

His family took him to a clinic near his home in Ibafo in the sprawling megacity of Lagos,

where a nurse checked his blood pressure.

Blood pressure readings are comprised of two values: one for systolic and one for diastolic pressure;

anything equal to or above 140 over 90 is considered high.

Otu’s stood at 175 over 110, a level at which he faced an increased risk of stroke, heart attack,

and kidney failure. “We started praying,” says Otu.

The fact that Otu had no idea about his blood pressure status before the clinical diagnosis is not unusual.

High blood pressure requires the heart to work harder than normal to circulate blood through the blood vessels.

The symptoms of high blood pressure, also known as hypertension, are not always obvious, which makes regular check-ups essential.

Need for Creating Awareness For The Dangers Of High Blood Pressure
Nigeria is one of many developing countries where the health services have focused on treating infectious diseases,

such as malaria and tuberculosis, but in recent years, noncommunicable conditions have become an increasing problem.

One of the most prevalent noncommunicable conditions worldwide, hypertension is responsible for an

estimated 45% of deaths due to heart disease and 51% of deaths due to stroke globally.

Of WHO’s six regions, the African region has the highest prevalence of hypertension estimated at 46% of adults aged

25 and above, according to WHO’s Global status report on noncommunicable diseases 2010.

Moreover, the problems caused by hypertension are made worse when people are not aware of the necessity for

– or unable to afford – regular blood pressure checks.

This year’s World Health Day, on 7 April, the aim was to promote more awareness of the causes and consequences

of high blood pressure, as well as how it can be prevented, and to encourage national and local authorities to

do more about this growing problem.

“We hope this campaign will encourage more adults to check their blood pressure but also that health authorities

will make blood pressure measurement affordable for everyone,” says Dr. Shanthi Mendis, a medical officer at WHO.

In many developing countries few people go for routine medical check-ups to monitor the risk factors associated with

noncommunicable diseases. And Nigeria is no exception.

What is Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acid

Hello there.

I am very happy to be here today with everybody and want to say thank you to all our readers and subscribers.

Today will be about Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids, the difference, its importance, and benefits to our heart.
Before I dive in, something very funny happened recently at home smiley.

My four-year-old son went to school with my Omega 3 supplement and started giving a health presentation.

He was a scientist on the day of their school science and art's exhibition.

I was surprised to hear what he said during his talk, he taught his classmate and teachers,

-a little of what he knows about my omega 3 supplement (don't want to name the product cus they didn't pay me for the advert).

"he said my mum's omega 3 is the only soap that can wash butter and cheese away from the water pipe inside our heart

so that we don't die like a heart attack" lolzzzz smiley smiley smiley.

when you hear my rendition of the presentation you will laugh and roll on the ground.

That is why we advise parents not to say or do the wrong things in front of their toddlers, they are very smart and sharp.



Back to the Business of the day what is omega 3?.


Back to Basics: Essential fatty acids defined…

The body can make most of the fats it needs to function.

But certain fats—known as essential fatty acids (EFAs)—must come from the diet alone.

Our bodies don’t have the necessary enzymes to make them. Both of these fatty acids are needed for growth and repair.

Such is the case with the omega-3 and omega-6 families of fatty acids.



Both omega-3 (ω-3) and omega-6 (ω-6) fatty acids are important components of cell membranes and are-

-precursors to many other substances in the body such as those involved with regulating blood pressure and inflammatory responses.

There is increasing support for omega-3 fatty acids in protecting against fatal heart disease and it is known that-

-they have anti-inflammatory effects, which may be important in this and other diseases.

There is growing interest in the role of omega-3 fatty acids in the prevention of diabetes and certain types of cancer.



TYPES OF OMEGA-3 EFA

Within each family of fatty acid, there are specific fatty acids that come from different parts of our food supply.

For example, there are a few types of omega-3 fatty acids; the most common omega-3s are alpha-linolenic

acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

ALA is found in plants, primarily flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, and their oils.

EPA and DHA are called long-chain omega-3 fatty acids because they have 20 or more carbons in their structure.

These fatty acids are found in fatty fish such as albacore tuna, herring, salmon, mackerel, sardines, and trout.

Most scientific and clinical studies carried out to date have examined the effectiveness of this long-chain omega-3s found in fish.

Consequently, most scientists who work in this area believe these are the omega-3s that have the greatest anti-inflammatory

-and brain-protective benefits.



click this link to get the best scientifically proven Omega 3 supplement https://healthandbeauty102.com/what-is-omega-3-and-omega-6-fatty-acid/



ALA is a plant-based precursor to EPA and DHA, meaning your body in some cases can convert it into EPA and DHA.

However, some research has shown that this conversion is not all that effective, and credible studies indicate that individual humans

-have dramatically different capacities to carry out this conversion.

So to be safe, most studies indicate that you are better off getting your omega-3s from fish rather than plant sources.


There are also several commonly found omega-6 fatty acids that include linoleic acid (LA), gamma-linolenic acid (GLA),

and arachidonic acid (AA). LA is by far the most common fatty acid found in the human food supply.

It is a primary fatty acid found in cooking oils, including vegetable, corn, canola, peanut, soybean, safflower, and sunflower.

GLA is in less common oils—mainly borage, black currant seed, and evening primrose.

AA is found in red meat, eggs, and poultry products.



The proper omega-6 and the omega-3 ratio

Do we need both omega-6s and omega-3s in our diet? The short answer is, yes, we do.

Our body requires both of these fatty acids for proper growth, immune response, repair, and brain development.

However, omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids have very different functions.

Omega-6 fatty acids are the precursors of several molecules that cause Inflammation, which we now know is

-the primary driver of most human diseases. In addition to inflammation, omega-6 fatty acids impact blood clotting and cell growth.

In contrast, the omega-3 fatty acids—and especially the long-chain omega-3s—reduce inflammation and blood clotting

-and are critical for brain development and function. When both families of fatty acids are in balance, good health results.



click this link to get the best scientifically proven Omega 3 supplement https://healthandbeauty102.com/what-is-omega-3-and-omega-6-fatty-acid/


But herein lies the problem.

The standard western diet is very high in omega-6s, particularly LA and today we are imbibing this diet!

Especially in the past several decades, with the rise of LA-enriched cooking oils and processed foods,

our intake of omega-6s has skyrocketed.

In fact, the amount of omega-6s we ate 50 years ago represented about 1.5 percent of our calories.

Today, it’s an astounding 7-10 percent.

There is no single nutrient in the modern Western diet that has increased so dramatically over the past

50 years as omega-6 fatty acids.

Since omega-6 fatty acids are converted to pro-inflammatory molecules, several studies suggest that this high omega-6

-(and, comparatively speaking, low omega-3) intake is increasing our risk of systemic inflammation and inflammatory

Today, the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids is typically 10 to 1 or greater.

Ideally, your ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids should be closer to 2 to 1.

But with vegetable oils and processed foods so common in the standard American diet,

This imbalance both reduces the amount of omega-3s in circulation and in tissues and overrides the powerful

The best formulation of Omega3 in the market to reverse Blood Omega 3 deficiency and begin to correct Omega 3: Omega 6 ratio

Look at this scientific study

Why you need to take a good quality Omega 3:

Not all Fish oils/Omega 3 are equal. You need a high-quality one like the one I use, (don't

-want to name the product cus they didn't pay me for the advert)

Omega 3 made from the Arctic sea/Cold water fish which have fish with low mercury level and high omega 3 content...

It is produced using the cold process (unlike most commercially produced Omega 3 made with the hot-

-process that is faster but low-quality yield)!

The higher the BLOOD Omega 3 level, the lower the heart attack risk! Over 90% reduction!!!

A study was done and published in New England Journal of Medicine!!!

It is scientifically proven!

What is Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acid

Hello there.

I am very happy to be here today with everybody and want to say thank you to all our readers and subscribers.

Today will be about Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids, the difference, its importance, and benefits to our heart.
Before I dive in, something very funny happened recently at home smiley.

My four-year-old son went to school with my Omega 3 supplement and started giving a health presentation.

He was a scientist on the day of their school science and art's exhibition.

I was surprised to hear what he said during his talk, he taught his classmate and teachers,

-a little of what he knows about my omega 3 supplement (don't want to name the product cus they didn't pay me for the advert).

"he said my mum's omega 3 is the only soap that can wash butter and cheese away from the water pipe inside our heart

so that we don't die like a heart attack" lolzzzz smiley smiley smiley.

when you hear my rendition of the presentation you will laugh and roll on the ground.

That is why we advise parents not to say or do the wrong things in front of their toddlers, they are very smart and sharp.



Back to the Business of the day what is omega 3?.


Back to Basics: Essential fatty acids defined…

The body can make most of the fats it needs to function.

But certain fats—known as essential fatty acids (EFAs)—must come from the diet alone.

Our bodies don’t have the necessary enzymes to make them. Both of these fatty acids are needed for growth and repair.

Such is the case with the omega-3 and omega-6 families of fatty acids.



Both omega-3 (ω-3) and omega-6 (ω-6) fatty acids are important components of cell membranes and are-

-precursors to many other substances in the body such as those involved with regulating blood pressure and inflammatory responses.

There is increasing support for omega-3 fatty acids in protecting against fatal heart disease and it is known that-

-they have anti-inflammatory effects, which may be important in this and other diseases.

There is growing interest in the role of omega-3 fatty acids in the prevention of diabetes and certain types of cancer.



TYPES OF OMEGA-3 EFA

Within each family of fatty acid, there are specific fatty acids that come from different parts of our food supply.

For example, there are a few types of omega-3 fatty acids; the most common omega-3s are alpha-linolenic

acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

ALA is found in plants, primarily flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, and their oils.

EPA and DHA are called long-chain omega-3 fatty acids because they have 20 or more carbons in their structure.

These fatty acids are found in fatty fish such as albacore tuna, herring, salmon, mackerel, sardines, and trout.

Most scientific and clinical studies carried out to date have examined the effectiveness of this long-chain omega-3s found in fish.

Consequently, most scientists who work in this area believe these are the omega-3s that have the greatest anti-inflammatory

-and brain-protective benefits.

ALA is a plant-based precursor to EPA and DHA, meaning your body in some cases can convert it into EPA and DHA.

However, some research has shown that this conversion is not all that effective, and credible studies indicate that individual humans

-have dramatically different capacities to carry out this conversion.

So to be safe, most studies indicate that you are better off getting your omega-3s from fish rather than plant sources.


There are also several commonly found omega-6 fatty acids that include linoleic acid (LA), gamma-linolenic acid (GLA),

and arachidonic acid (AA). LA is by far the most common fatty acid found in the human food supply.

It is a primary fatty acid found in cooking oils, including vegetable, corn, canola, peanut, soybean, safflower, and sunflower.

GLA is in less common oils—mainly borage, black currant seed, and evening primrose.

AA is found in red meat, eggs, and poultry products.



The proper omega-6 and the omega-3 ratio

Do we need both omega-6s and omega-3s in our diet? The short answer is, yes, we do.

Our body requires both of these fatty acids for proper growth, immune response, repair, and brain development.

However, omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids have very different functions.

Omega-6 fatty acids are the precursors of several molecules that cause Inflammation, which we now know is

-the primary driver of most human diseases. In addition to inflammation, omega-6 fatty acids impact blood clotting and cell growth.

In contrast, the omega-3 fatty acids—and especially the long-chain omega-3s—reduce inflammation and blood clotting

-and are critical for brain development and function. When both families of fatty acids are in balance, good health results.



click this link to get the best scientifically proven Omega 3 supplement https://healthandbeauty102.com/what-is-omega-3-and-omega-6-fatty-acid/


But herein lies the problem.

The standard western diet is very high in omega-6s, particularly LA and today we are imbibing this diet!

Especially in the past several decades, with the rise of LA-enriched cooking oils and processed foods,

our intake of omega-6s has skyrocketed.

In fact, the amount of omega-6s we ate 50 years ago represented about 1.5 percent of our calories.

Today, it’s an astounding 7-10 percent.

There is no single nutrient in the modern Western diet that has increased so dramatically over the past

50 years as omega-6 fatty acids.

Since omega-6 fatty acids are converted to pro-inflammatory molecules, several studies suggest that this high omega-6

-(and, comparatively speaking, low omega-3) intake is increasing our risk of systemic inflammation and inflammatory

-diseases—Alzheimer’s, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and asthma, to name a few.

Today, the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids is typically 10 to 1 or greater.

Ideally, your ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids should be closer to 2 to 1.

But with vegetable oils and processed foods so common in the standard American diet,

-even the most diligent dieter tends to consume way more omega-6s than necessary.

This imbalance both reduces the amount of omega-3s in circulation and in tissues and overrides the powerful

-and important benefits of omega-3s that you do get in your diet.



To tip the scales in favor of anti-inflammatory omega-3s, you need to limit processed foods and vegetable-based oils,

while at the same time consuming more of the omega-3 rich foods listed above.

Back to Business lolz...

We want to discuss briefly one of the key factors that affect HEART HEALTH, BRAIN HEALTH, VISION/EYE HEALTH,
In fact virtually all organs in the body!

What could it be?

Let us focus on Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly the two most important types—docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).

“Research shows that omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and may help lower the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and arthritis.

Omega-3 fatty acids are highly concentrated in the brain and appear to be important for cognitive (brain memory and performance)

and behavioral function.” – University of Maryland Medical Center.

Omega-3 fatty acids are crucial to the development and function of the human body like the heart health, brain health, and vision or eye health.

Additionally, Omega-3’s deliver some powerful health benefits that make omega-3’s an important part of our daily diet.

When this important type of fatty acid is not consumed regularly, different types of symptoms can surface.

These symptoms range from cognitive (e.g. depression and memory loss) to physical (e.g. inflammation and arthritis.)

It’s worth noting that the degree to which this vital fat source is neglected often coincides with the severity of symptoms.



Let us take this a little step further:

EPA and DHA—Which Do You Need?


Let us focus on Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly the two most important types—docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).


Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties.

They have been studied for the treatment and prevention of many diseases, several of which are related to inflammation,

including heart disease, stroke, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease.

They have also been shown to be extraordinarily helpful in preventing and treating other brain conditions such as;

depression and other psychiatric disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and concussions

While the omega-3s DHA and EPA have different functions in the body, both are important for optimal health.


Benefits of EPA

There is still confusion, even among experts, as to the individual roles of EPA and DHA—especially given the fact that EPA can be converted to DHA.

That being said, much of the data supports the role of EPA as a potent anti-inflammatory and anti-clotting compound.


How does this work?

Well, there is a family of inflammatory compounds, collectively known as eicosanoids, derived from the omega-6 fatty acid arachidonic acid.

EPA lessens the production of these eicosanoids and their resulting inflammation in a number of important ways.

First, EPA inhibits the enzyme that produces arachidonic acid.

Second, EPA impedes the release of arachidonic acid from cell membranes (where it is stored) and its metabolization once it is released.

Without this release and metabolization, your body can’t make eicosanoids.

The result is a lower risk of the inflammation that would have been caused by all that arachidonic acid going to eicosanoids.


What about blood clotting?

Circulating cells called platelets are critical in causing your blood to clot. When platelets are activated, they aggregate and cause clots.

If these clots occur in particularly sensitive regions of your body, they can lead to a heart attack or stroke.

EPA reduces platelet activation, an early step in platelet aggregation to help to reduce clotting.

One study found that EPA was superior to DHA in decreasing platelet activation, a precursor to blood clotting.1

While the anti-inflammatory and anti-clotting properties of EPA are instrumental in many areas of health,

You can’t talk about EPA without talking about DHA…



Let's stop here for now, in our next post we will look at the Benefits of DHA and we will decide on which one to choose.

so keep a date with us...
