Do what you have to do bro. Actually, there's rare people out there who are still so selfless and ready to help. Meanwhile, we all come to this life alone. You only know your destination in life. Never give up on that and try as much as possible by taking any possible means to achieve your aims. I wish you good in life.

Health / Weed; Smoking Vs Eating by Strichie147: 7:02pm On Jun 25, 2018
When smoking weed, the effects can be felt almost immediately. Depending on the strain and the volume smoked, this could be immediate relaxation, euphoria, creative thoughts or even energy. These effects then start to wear off and disappear within the next hour or so. Because of this fast onset, you can practically feel how much THC you are consuming, how much would be far too much and when to stop or have a break. For these reasons, it is far easier to control how much THC you are taking in.

The story is totally different when the herb is eaten. Edibles require longer processing by the body before effects start taking place. Therefore, it can take between 30 minutes and 2 hours for the effects to start manifesting and be experienced depending on the body system of the consumer. The effects can last up to several hours after the onset. Due to the reason of the period of time between actually eating a medicated piece of food and feeling the effects, it is very easy to abuse it. (For example, an hour has passed already and no effects have manifested yet, a person may assume more dose is needed to feel the desired effects. Then within a few hours, what is believed to be a light and relaxing high turns into a challenging and psychedelic experience, that they are not mentally prepared for and capable of handling).

The above scenario is mostly common among those who have little experience with marijuana edibles. When taking marijuana edibles, it is advised to start off with small doses and then exercise patience until you feel the full effects of the dosage before deciding to consume more.

<b>Know Your Limit!!!</b>

If you have smoked far too much, chances are you will just surrender, put the half smoked joint for a rest in the ashtray and take a nice, deep and restful nap on the couch. If you have over medicated, it might be a different story. Perhaps you weren’t prepared for the waves of high that keep washing over you, increasing with strength. If that is the case, perhaps the most important thing is not to panic. Take a seat, ...

Health / See What You Eat That Threatens Your Sex Life by Strichie147: 8:06am On May 23, 2018
Foods You Eat That Threatens Your Libido. No. 8 Will Shock You!
The foods you eat directly or indirectly have a way of stimulating your sex life. These can be influenced by the Testosterone – the male hormone – and the Estrogen – the female hormone.
Actually, both the testosterone and the estrogen play vital roles in our bodies. Indeed men can grow breasts while women can sprout excessive facial hair. But in these cases, an imbalance of testosterone and estrogen can increase or decrease libido.

Therefore, some of the food items which could serve as contributing factors to a flowing sex life are listed below.

1. Processed foods:
When foods are processed, one or more of the nutrients are removed in whole foods including ones that are even important to your desire for a flavoured sex life. A very good example is, when wheat is processed into white flour, it loses about three-quarters of its zinc, a mineral that is essential to men's sexuality and reproduction.

2. Marijuana:
Cannabis is already legalised in several countries and could soon be legal all over the world. Most people add the drug to foods they eat. Whether you smoke it or eat it, marijuana depresses the testosterone levels for about 24 hours which is a threat to your libido.

3. Alcohol:
One glass of wine or even a cup of cocktail can get you in the mood, but if you drink much more than that, your libido will surely pay the price later. Alcohol is a depressant that can cause damage to a man’s ability to achieve and maintain an erection and even dampen libido for both sexes. Play nice when it comes to alcohol and you may find that you resuscitate your sexual sparkle.

Health / Get Rid Of Mouth Odour With These Simple Tricks by Strichie147: 11:07am On May 22, 2018
What could be more humiliating and embarrassing than your mouth smelling when you're talking? Is anything worse than seeing people turn their faces away when you are conversing with them?
Hundreds of thousands of people suffer from mouth odour without even realizing it simply because people around them are afraid to tell them. This is not because they hate them but because they're afraid of hurting there feelings when they tell them.

It is very rare to have a friend who will be able to tell you that your mouth smells badly when you talk.

Bad breath or mouth odour is often caused by a buildup of bacteria in the mouth which causes bad smells to emanate whenever the mouth is opened. When you don’t brush regularly, bacteria accumulate on the bits of food left in your mouth and
between your teeth. The compounds released by these bacteria make your breathe smell.

For some people, mouth odour is a problem that only occurs in certain situations like when you get out of bed in the morning or after eating pungent foods. For others, it is a problem that is ever-present, no matter whether they brush or not, no matter the number of times they brush, or suck mints.

A serious/severe mouth odour can profoundly affect a person’s self-esteem even to the extent that the person may isolate himself for fear of being embarrassed.

Quite a lot of things can cause mouth odour. Some of them include: dental cavities, gum disease, poor oral hygiene, coated tongue (a white or yellow coating on the tongue) etc.

Foods and drinks, such as garlic, onions, coffee, and alcohol, can temporarily cause mouth odour.

Health / How To Check Your Blood Pressure At Home by Strichie147: 6:32am On May 21, 2018
Do you know you can monitor your blood pressure right at home without having to visit the doctor, especially if your doctor recommends that you monitor your blood pressure on a regular basis?
So, how can you check your blood pressure by yourself without all the procedures the doctor observes, even in your home?
However, before you discover how you can perform this medical magic there are some things worth knowing.

Causes of High Blood Pressure

There are certain factors that can cause the blood pressure to temporarily rise. Some of which include stress, smoking, cold temperatures, exercise, caffeine, reaction to certain medicines.

Then;

1. Locate your pulse

Health / How Your Thoughts And Emotions Affect Your Health by Strichie147: 3:14pm On May 16, 2018
Are you surprised that your thoughts and emotions can affect your health? I was also shocked when I learnt that the kind of things I think about and my emotions can affect my health and well-being.

Emotions and thoughts that are freely experienced and/or expressed without judgment or attachment tend to flow fluidly without impacting our health. On the other hand, repressed emotions (especially fearful or negative ones) can zap mental energy, negatively affect the body, and lead to health problems.
It's important to take note or study our thoughts and emotions and be conscious of how they affect our bodies, behaviour, and relationships.

Negative Thoughts and Emotions

Negative attitudes and feelings of helplessness and hopelessness can create chronic stress, which upsets the body's hormone balance, depletes the brain chemicals required for happiness, and damages the immune system. Chronic stress can actually reduce our lifespan. Science has proven that stress shortens our telomeres, the end caps of our DNA strands, which causes us to age more quickly than normal.

Health / End Your Lower Abdominal Pain Today! by Strichie147: 4:18pm On May 14, 2018
Although, pain can arise from the tissues of the abdominal wall that surrounds the abdominal cavity (such as the skin and the muscles), the term abdominal pain generally is used to describe discomfort originating from organs within the abdominal cavity. Organs of the abdomen include the stomach, small intestine, colon, liver, gallbladder, spleen, and pancreas.

Occasionally, pain may be felt in the belly even though it is arising from organs that are close to, but not within, the abdominal cavity, for example, conditions of the lower lungs, the kidneys, and the uterus or ovaries. On the other hand, it also is possible for pain from organs within the belly to be felt outside of it. For example, the pain of pancreatic inflammation may be felt in the back. These latter types of pain are described as "referred” because it does not originate in the location that it is felt. Rather, the cause is located away from where it is felt (i.e., it is referred to as a different area).
What Causes Abdominal Pain?
Swallowing excess air, eating high-fat foods that delay stomach emptying, and even stress can contribute to abdominal bloating and lower abdominal pain.

Health / Are You Tired Of Saggy Breasts? by Strichie147: 9:28am On May 10, 2018
For those that does not know, breasts do not have muscles, they are made of fat, connective tissues and milk-producing glands therefore they need adequate proper care to keep them in good shape.
Though saggy breasts normally starts after a woman reaches age 40, it can occur earlier in some cases.
Some studies prove that, when a woman reaches her late thirties or after pregnancy, the skin can become loose and begin to show signs of aging.

Apart from age & pregnancy, other factors that cause sagging breasts are: menopause, rapid weight loss or gain, strenuous exercise, nutritional deficiencies, smoking, over-tanning and wearing a poorly fitting bra.

Very many people believe that breast feeding can cause sagging, but this is NOT TRUE because breast feeding is not a risk factor for drooping. The real culprit is actually pregnancy itself, as weight gain during pregnancy can cause ligaments to stretch, which can lead to drooping later. This issue can be minimised by making sure you maintain a relatively healthy weight gain while you’re pregnant,

Some diseases such as breast cancer or respiratory conditions like tuberculosis can also cause breasts to sag. Overuse of nicotine and alcohol can also contribute to the problem.

A wide variety of natural methods are available to tone up and make the breasts firm.

Health / Resolve Your Tinea Versicolour Problem Today by Strichie147: 8:27pm On May 09, 2018
Tinea Versicolour is a fungal infection of the skin. It's also called pityriasis versicolor and it is caused by a type of yeast that naturally lives on the skin. When the yeast grows out of control, the skin disease, Tinea Versicolour which appears as a rash, is the result.
Causes
The infection can happen due to any of the following reasons:
1. An oily skin
2. Living in hot climatic area
3. Excessive sweating
4. Weak immune system
Because the yeast grows naturally on the skin, tinea versicolor is not contagious. The condition can affect anyone regardless of their skin color. However, it is known to be common in teens and young adults.
Signs and Symptoms of Tinea Versicolor
Acidic bleach from the growing yeast causes areas of skin to be of different color to the skin around them. These can be individual spots or patches. Specific signs and symptoms of the infection include:
• Patches that may be white, black, red, or brown and can be lighter or darker than the skin around them.
• Spots that do not tan the way the rest of your skin does.
• Spots that may occur anywhere on your body but are most commonly seen on your neck, chest, back, and arms.
