Does Masturbation Lead To Premature Ejaculation?

Pemature ejaculation can be due to several factors. Masturbation can have nothing or everything to do with pemature ejaculation. When done in excessive amounts, masturbation teaches you how to reach an orgasm more easily. For many young adults, the addicted to porn and masturbation can cause an imbalance of stress hormones, GABA, Serotonin, and Dopamine. Such imbalance often traps the individual into an addict's loop, which lead the progress into more severe stages of sexual dysfunction.

Put simply, over-masturbation will lead to sexual under-performance by way of premature ejaculation, as well as other sexual problems. Over-indulgence in masturbation can lead to both psychological and physiological imbalances. This could pose a very dangerous treat to sexual performance. Frequent masturbation and ejaculation will stimulate the acetylcholine along with the parasympathetic nervous functions.

Excessive masturbation and ejaculation can, and often times will, result in over-production of sex stress hormones and neurotransmitters. An unnatural abundance of these hormones and neurotransmitters can cause the brain and adrenal glands to perform excessive dopamine-norepinephrine-epinephrine conversion, in turn, making the brain and bodily functions perform at an extreme level.

Whether from masturbation or otherwise, premature ejaculation is a threat to the joy and happiness of sexually active couples especially married couples. Many families are today faced with the conflict of infidelity and extra-marital issues arising from premature ejaculation.

Orthodox drugs cannot cure Premature ejaculation because it is a problem founded in hormonal imbalance. the only remedy for premature ejaculation is herbal medicine.

Are you suffering from Premature ejaculation? Do you "come" before five minute of penetration? You can correct this with Premacon, a 100% natural formulation recognized, approved and registered by NAFDAC (The Food and Drug Federal Regulatory Agency in Nigeria).

How Some Beauty Products Could Be Very Harmful To The Health

Scientists have raised the alarm over the dangers cosmetic products pose to health. According to findings of a North Western study, complaints made against beauty goods more than doubled from 2015 to 2016, with hair care products topping the list.

However, these notices go largely without consequence because the United States, U.S, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not require the products to be pre-approved before they are released to consumers.

The findings note that: “It’s harder for the FDA to get harmful cosmetics off the shelves. This is really a wakeup call. “The point of the paper is to broaden the awareness of this database and the need for everyone to participate in reporting adverse events from cosmetics.”

In Nigeria, just as in most African countries, beauty products consumed are usually those imported from the United States. The recent development, according to observers in Nigeria, may pose serious health implications for users of these products who may not be aware that they are not approved in the U.S.

The study found the largest number of complaints came from hair care products, skincare products or tattoos.




Dr. Xu is most concerned with the way cosmetic companies are marketing their products, claiming to have ‘drug-like’ results but skirt around FDA approvals by labeling the product as a cosmetic.


He added: “Although not explicitly studied, this cosmetic product class is becoming a growing problem.

At the very best, these products are making unsubstantiated marketing claims for products that may or may not work

How Paracetamol Harm Unborn Babies

Pregnant mothers who take paracetamol even at recommended doses might be harming the masculinity of their unborn son.

According to the findings of a new study, published in the scientific journal ‘Reproduction’, paracetamol could also reduce fertility in daughters too.

The researchers found the pills inhibit the development of ‘male behaviour’ in mice by reducing the amount of the ‘masculine’ hormone testosterone in their bodies.

To this end, the researchers have warned mothers-to-be to think twice before popping the painkillers.

A ‘mailonline’ report quoted Professor David Mabjerg Kristensen, from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark as saying: “We have demonstrated that a reduced level of testosterone means that male characteristics do not develop as they should,” adding, “This also affects sex drive.”

“In a trial, mice exposed to paracetamol at the foetal stage were simply unable to copulate in the same way as our control animals.

“Male programming had not been properly established during their fetal development and this could be seen long afterwards in their adult life. It is very worrying.”

This is not the first time researchers will caution on the dangers of overdosing on paracetamol. A report in the ‘British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology’ in November 2011 similarly warned that taking too much paracetamol could increase the risk of dying from liver failure.

While the new study focused on the effect of paracetamol on masculine characteristics, paracetamol during pregnancy also has the potential to influence the subsequent lives of female mice.

A study by the same researchers last year showed female mice had fewer eggs in their ovaries if their mothers had had paracetamol during pregnancy. This led to the mice becoming infertile more quickly.

But even if paracetamol is harmful, that does not mean it should never be taken, even when pregnant and women should consult their GP if concerned.

According to Kristensen, these days it has become so common to take paracetamol that consumers of drugs forget it is a medicine, and all medicines have side effects.

"Prepare For Killer Heat Waves" - United Nations Warns

The world should prepare for further heat waves this year, the UN weather agency officials said early this week in Geneva.

Parts of Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and the U.S. have already seen record temperatures for May and June.

The Pakistani city, Turbat, recorded 54 degrees in late May, the hottest temperature ever seen in Asia, according to the World Meteorological Agency (WMO).

The world record of 56.7 degrees was set in Death Valley in the U.S. in 1913.

“The concern now is that we are close to that record,” WMO meteorologist Omar Baddour told a press conference.

“According to the data we have, we expect to have other heat waves in many parts of the world,” he said.

According to the WMO, many heat-related deaths could be prevented if authorities issue public warnings; make sure that vulnerable populations are sheltered; and prepare hospitals for an increase in patients.

In 2003, a heat wave in Europe caused 70,000 deaths, while a short spell of extreme heat in India and Pakistan in 2015 killed 4,000 people.

India has started issuing health advisories and has drawn up effective action plans in recent years, WMO spokeswoman Clare Nullis said.

According to official U.S. and European data, between January and May, average global temperatures were the second highest on record, with the record only having been set in 2016, reported the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

The 2016 heat spike was fuelled by the El Nino, a weather phenomenon caused by unusually warm water in the Pacific Ocean.

This year, weather experts do not expect an El Nino.

Mosquitos In Nigeria Rapidly Developing Resistance To Insecticides - Research

The Nigeria Institute of Medical Research, NIMR, has raised alarm over the increasing incidence of mosquito resistance to Long Lasting Insecticide Nets, LLINs, in 18 states of the federation, even as over 50 million Nigerians still test positive to malaria annually.

In a new report released early this week, by the institute, it was revealed that Lagos, Ogun and Niger states have the highest incidence of resistance cases.

Other states where resistance have been reported include Jigawa, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto, Zamfara, Benue, Kwara, Nasarawa, Plateau, Anambra, Enugu, Rivers, Ondo, Osun and Oyo.

Giving insight into the outcome of the report, Deputy Director & Head, Public Health Department, NIMR, Dr. Sam Awolola, said since 2003, over 182 million LLINs had been distributed in Nigeria, with only 16 percent reduction rate in 2008 to 2011 which have not been sustained.

Awolola regretted that one of the consequences of the development was that more deaths from malaria were imminent in the affected areas, adding that the situation called for great concern.

He blamed the new trend of resistance to use of same reagents on agricultural products, stressing that “basically, one of the major factors that contributed to insecticide resistance is the use of same reagents for agriculture globally.

Most of the insecticide used in public health are also used in agriculture, which is a major source of resistance.” Corroborating his views, Director General of NIMR, Prof. Babatunde Salako, said the progress Nigeria had made in combating malaria was under threat due to the spread of insecticide resistance.

“There is clear evidence that insecticide resistance has been confirmed in at least 20 states across Nigeria.

There is a gap of resistant data in 14 states which requires urgent attention,” he said. He explained that such resistance could lead to public health crisis, as insecticide resistance could quickly over power the current portfolio of vector control tools, especially LLINs.

Salako said it was high time the country did away with ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach, and embrace multiple vector control interventions. “There is need to explore alternative non-chemical base control measures,’’ he said.

Salako called on government to support a large scale operational research on deployment and use of PBO-LLINs in insecticide-resistance hot spot areas. “The government should commission NIMR as a hub for vector surveillance and insecticide resistance mapping in Nigeria.

"Empower NIMR to explore the use of alternative mosquito control measures such as the “Sterile Insect techniques” and “genetic modified mosquito” for malaria control in Nigeria,’’ he said.

Hair Dye Relaxers Raises Breast Cancer Risk

Common salon hair treatments involving Hair dye and chemical relaxers can drastically increase the risk of breast cancer. This is contained in a new study conducted by researchers at the Rutgers School of Public Health and Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey.

The researchers found there was an alarming increase in the risk of developing the disease when certain women used dark hair dye and chemical relaxers.

Hair colouring, or hair dyeing, is the practice of changing the hair colour and the main reasons for this are cosmetic: to cover gray or white hair, to change to a colour regarded as more fashionable or desirable, and to restore the original hair color after it has been discoloured by hairdressing processes or sun bleaching.

On its part, a relaxer is a type of lotion or cream generally used by people with tight curls or very curly hair which makes hair easier to straighten by chemically “relaxing” the natural curls. The active agent is usually a strong alkali, although some formulations are based on ammonium thioglycolate instead.

According to the researchers, black women who dyed their hair had a 51 per cent increase in risk and white women who used relaxers had a 74 per cent increase in risk.

Previous research has suggested there was a link between harsh hair treatments and breast cancer, but most studies don’t include black women.

The researchers suggested that toxic chemicals in the products can harm the body and are using these findings to further investigate the danger of using chemical products on the body.

Experts asked more than 4,000 black and white women in the New Jersey and New York area their habits of dying, relaxing or using deep conditioning creams.

Researchers then examined the study participants’ medical history to see if these products elevated the risk of breast cancer.


Black women who used dark hair dye had an overall 51 per cent greater risk of the cancer.

They also had a 72 per cent increased risk of developing estrogen receptor positive breast cancer, which is the most common type of the disease.

"We Are Importing Poison, Not Rice" - Nigerian Governor

The chairman, Presidential Taskforce on Rice and Wheat Production, Governor Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi State, has condemned the continuous importation of rice into the country, describing it as importation of poison.

Bagudu told journalists on Sunday, in Birnin-Kebbi, that the imported rice, auctioned by different countries, was no longer good for human consumption.

The chairman, who expressed regret over citizens’ patronage of foreign rice, said imported rice usually contained preservatives, which are poisonous.

He disclosed that there were three major importers of rice into the country who specialised in importing very cheap and auctioned rice.

The governor said that Thailand in April 2017, auctioned 1.62 million tonnes of rice at about $140 per tonne whereas the market price of it was $700 per tonne.

“Countries, particularly, Thailand, India, China and Vietnam, buy a lot of paddy from their farmers and keep in storage sometimes, as long as nine years so that by so doing, they are supporting their farmers.

“A country like Thailand, for example, may have eight million tonnes of rice in storage; so occasionally, they will auction the ones that are almost going bad that is, the one that is not fit for human consumption.
“They sell the paddy as low as 20 per cent less than the international market price.

The governor said that out of the 600 million tonnes of rice produced in the world, Nigeria produced about six million tonnes which represented one per cent of the production.

Bagudu said that rice could grow in the 36 states of the federation and called on stakeholders and citizens to come together to advance rice production.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalled that acting President Yemi Osinbajo, on June 7, established a National Rice and Wheat Task Force to set up targets that will yield comprehensible and self-evident results in rice and wheat production.

At the inauguration, Osinbajo said the Federal Government was trying to evolve a strategy for the economy, for employment and for feeding the people.

Other members of the Task Force were Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State and his Ebonyi State counterpart, David Umahi.

Others are the Minister of State for Agriculture, Lokpobiri Heineken, the President of Rice Farmers Association, Mr Aminu Goronyo and the President, Wheat Farmers Association, Alhaji Salim Muhammad.

Vibarex: The Effective Herbal Cure For Weak Erection

Even though they are ashamed to talk about it in the public, many men are suffering silently from the scourge of weak erection. Weak erection has taken the shine off many marriages because the man cannot satisfy his wife sexually; and in some cases, it is so acute that the man might not be able to penetrate and thus cannot impregnate his wife.

What is weak erection? When men become sexually aroused, hormones, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels all work with one another to create an erection. Nerve signals, sent from the brain to the penis, stimulate muscles to relax. 

This, in turn, allows blood to flow to the tissue in the penis. Once the blood fills the penis and an erection is achieved, the blood vessels to the penis close off so that the erection is maintained. 

Following sexual arousal, the veins to the penis again open up, allowing the blood to leave.

At some point in a man’s life or due to some health issues, he may have difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection. 

Erection problems occur when you can’t achieve or maintain an erection that’s firm enough to have sexual intercourse or satisfy your spouse. For most men, this problem occurs occasionally and isn’t a serious issue. 

If you are unable to achieve an erection one-quarter of the time or more, you may have a health problem that requires medical attention. However, orthodox drugs, because of their chemical nature can neither manage nor cure weak erection.

The only remedy for weak erection is through herbal solution. Because of its organic nature, herbal medicine can prevent, manage and cure weak erection.

Some Reservations About Coconut Oil

A new report released by the American Heart Association (AHA) has expressed some reservations over the use of coconut oil, especially when not taken in its natural state.

After the Dietary Fats and Cardiovascular Disease advisory reviewed existing data on saturated fat, showing coconut oil increased LDL (“bad”) cholesterol in seven out of seven controlled trials, researchers didn’t see a difference between coconut oil and other oils high in saturated fat, like butter, beef fat and palm oil.

In fact, 82 per cent of the fat in coconut oil is saturated, according to the data - far beyond butter (63 per cent), beef fat (50 per cent) and pork lard (39 per cent).

Saturated fats are considered unhealthy because they can raise ‘bad’ cholesterol levels, increasing heart disease risk. The AHA therefore recommended limiting saturated fats – which are found in butter, cheese, red meat and other animal-based foods.

Instead of eating foods high in saturated fats, the AHA recommended replacing them with better sources of healthier, unsaturated fats that are found in skinless poultry and oily fish, nuts and legumes, avocados, non-tropical vegetable oils such as olive oil and low-fat dairy products, canola oil, corn, sunflower, soy, and cottonseed oils.

Since the 1950s, it has been demonstrated that consumption of foods containing high amounts of saturated fatty acids is potentially less healthy than consuming fats with a lower proportion of saturated fatty acids. Frank Sacks, lead author on the report, said he has no idea why people think coconut oil is healthy.

It’s almost 100 per cent fat. Past weight loss studies might be responsible. Still, it might not be a bad idea to opt for vegetable oils or olive oil, Sacks said. Plus, coconut oil can still be an effective moisturiser or hair conditioner, adding, “You can put it on your body, but don’t put it in your body.” The AHA recommends eating no more than six per cent of saturated fat as part of total daily calories for those who need lower cholesterol.

Research dating to the 1950s has shown links between saturated fats and LDL cholesterol – which increases heart disease risk. LDL cholesterol is known as the ‘bad’ form of cholesterol because having high levels of it can lead to plaque build up in the arteries and result in heart disease and stroke.

Delaying New Born’s First Bath Boosts Child Health

Strange as it may sound, researchers exploring the benefits of the white, waxy substance that coats a newborn’s skin, said delaying their first bath could promote infant health, breastfeeding, and mother-baby bonding. The findings of a research show that the substance, called vernix contains antimicrobial proteins that are active against group B strep, E. coli and other common perinatal risks.

Speaking about the white, waxy substance, which is often washed off too hastily after delivery, nurse and researcher, Courtney Buss, said: “You figure it was there for a reason but I never knew it was so amazing for the baby.”

The ‘Chicago Tribune’ reported that now Buss’ Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin in Illinois, United States, U.S., along with five other hospitals out of Chicago’s Advocate hospital system, are adopting a “wait to bathe” policy prompted by Buss’s research on outcomes as part of a fellowship for studying best practices.

“All of our Advocate Health Care hospitals are in various stages of implementing this policy/process,” a hospital spokesperson stated, adding, “I believe seven are doing it and the other three will be on-boarded by this summer and fall.”

The idea of delaying bathing is not new, and one that’s recommended as a standard of care by the World Health Organisation, WHO, which advises, “Bathing should be delayed until after 24 hours of birth. If this is not possible due to cultural reasons, bathing should be delayed for at least six hours.

Appropriate clothing of the baby for ambient temperature is recommended, however. This means one to two layers of clothes more than adults, and use of hats/ caps.

The mother and baby should not be separated and should stay in the same room 24 hours a day.” Among Buss’ powerful findings: The percentage of babies with hypothermia decreased from 29 per cent to 14 per cent after baths were delayed (rather than given immediately, because of a misperception that newborns are “dirty”).

Hypothermia is a medical emergency that occurs when your body loses heat faster than it can produce heat, causing a dangerously low body temperature.

E-cigarettes Potentially As Harmful As Tobacco

With many smokers switching to electronic cigarettes, hoping they would be less harmful than tobacco cigarettes, a new study has affirmed that e-cigarettes are potentially as harmful as tobacco cigarettes.

Using a new testing device, researchers from the University of Connecticut in the United States, U.S., found that e-cigarettes with a nicotine- based liquid could damage DNA as much as unfiltered cigarettes.

The findings which are published in the journal ‘ACS Sensors’, also found that cellular mutations caused by DNA damage can lead to cancer. An electronic cigarette or e-cigarette is a handheld electronic device that creates an aerosol by heating a liquid.

The user then inhales the aerosol. Using e-cigarettes is sometimes called vaping.

The new testing device also discovered the vapour from non-nicotine ecigarettes caused as much DNA damage as filtered cigarettes, probably due to the numerous chemical additives in the vapours.

According to study’s lead author, Karteek Kadimisetty, the amount of DNA damage e-cigarettes cause depends on the amount of vapour the user inhales, the other additives present, whether nicotine or non-nicotine liquid is used, and other factors.

However, to explore whether or not the chemicals in e-cigarettes could damage DNA, the researchers used a device they developed that can quickly detect DNA damage. T he ‘newsmax’ reported that the device uses micropumps to push liquid samples across multiple “microwells” embedded in a small carbon chip.

The wells are pre-loaded with reactive human metabolic enzymes and DNA. As the samples drop into the wells, new metabolites that have the potential to cause DNA damage are formed.

Kadimisetty said that by converting chemicals into their metabolites during testing, it replicates what happens in the human body.

Reactions between the metabolites and the DNA generate light that is photographed, and within five minutes, researchers can see how much DNA damage is done to a sample. “Some people use ecigarettes heavily because they think there is no harm,

“We wanted to see exactly what might be happening to DNA,” he said.

Global Alert: Obesity Growing Worldewide

A new study has shown that one doesn’t have to be diagnosed as obese to be at risk of dying from illnesses related to excess weight. According to a new study published in the ‘New England Journal of Medicine’, more than one in 10 people worldwide are now obese, with weight-related health problems claiming millions of lives every year.

The study found that more than 2 billion children and adults suffered from health problems linked to being overweight, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease and some cancers, an increasing percentage had a body mass index (BMI) of less than 30, the The Governor of Ogun State, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, has disowned a phoney conversation circulating on social media purporting to be a phone call between him and Alhaji Kashim Shettima, the Governor of Borno State.

In what is turning out to be one of the most vicious and ungodly acts, meant to further create confusion in the land, a 20:38 (twenty minutes and thirty eight seconds) telephone conversation, purportedly be threshold for obesity.

Of the four million deaths attributed to being overweight in 2015, nearly 40 per cent were not considered clinically obese. People are generally considered obese when their body mass index (BMI), a measurement obtained by dividing a person’s weight by the square of the person’s height, is over30 kg/ m2, with the range25–30 kg/m2 defined as overweight.

Obesity is most commonly caused by a combination of excessive food intake, lack of physical activity, and genetic susceptibility. A few cases are caused primarily by genes, endocrine disorders, medications, or mental disorder. The ‘bbc’ reported that the findings highlighted “a growing and disturbing global public health crisis”.

The author of the study and director of the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, Dr. Christopher Murray said, “People who shrug off weight gain do so at their own risk – risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and other life threatening conditions.

The study, which looked at 195 countries and territories over a period of 35 years, from 1980 to 2015, revealed that 30 per cent of the world’s population – 2.2 billion children and adults – are affected by excess weight.
This includes nearly 108 million children and more than 600 million adults who are categorised as a having a BMI of higher than 30 and therefore medically defined as obese. Obesity has been increasing around the globe since 1980, doubling in more than 70 countries.

The United States, U.S. has the highest level of obesity among adults and children, at nearly 13 per cent of the population. Egypt on its part, topped the list for adult obesity, at about 35 per cent.

In Nigeria, obesity is fast becoming a health concern especially among the elite in cities. The indulgent lifestyles of this class of people makes them vulnerable to obesity and its attendant health issues.

Marriage Boosts Healthy Living - Study

A new study has shown that marriage appears to be good for health, boosting chances of survival, especially for people with a major heart risk factor such as high cholesterol. According to the researchers, a loving spouse might spur you on to look after yourself better. This was disclosed at the British Cardiovascular Society conference, based on their study of nearly a million adults in the United Kingdom (UK).

Although, all of the participants had high blood pressure, cholesterol or diabetes, the married ones fared much better than those who were single. Dr. Paul Carter and colleagues at Aston Medical School in the UK, who carried out the research, have already shown that marriage is linked to a better chance of surviving a heart attack.

Their latest research hints at why this might be. They suspect marriage helps buffer against big heart disease risk factors, including cholesterol and high blood pressure. Similarly, the protective effect was put down to increased social support and care, such as your spouse nagging you to make lifestyle changes and take medication. Last year, the same team behind this study were part of a group that found married people were more likely to survive a heart attack.
 
Marriage, also called matrimony or wedlock, is a socially or ritually recognised union between spouses that establishes rights and obligations between them, between them and their children, and between them and their in-laws. Marriage can be recognized by a state, an organisation, a religious authority, a tribal group, a local community, or peers.

It is often viewed as a contract. The study looked at deaths from all causes, including heart disease. Men and women in their 50s, 60s and 70s with high cholesterol were 16 per cent more likely to be alive at the end of the 14-year study if they were married rather than single.

The same was true for diabetes and high blood pressure, with married people having a survival advantage. The picture was less clear for people cohabiting, separated, divorced or widowed. Also, the researchers did not test if the wedded people were in happy marriages.

They suspect having someone special in your life is what’s important, rather than simply getting hitched. Carter said: “We need to unpick the underlying reasons a bit more, but it appears there’s something about being married that is protective, not only in patients with heart disease but also those with heart disease risk factors. “We’re not saying that everyone should get married though.

“We need to replicate the positive effects of marriage and use friends, family and social support networks in the same way.” Dr. Mike Knapton, of the British Heart Foundation, said: “The take-home message is that our social interactions, as well as medical risk factors such as high blood pressure, are important determinants of both our health and wellbeing.

“Whether you are married or not, if you have any of the main risk factors for heart disease, then you can call upon loved ones to help you to manage them.”

Eating Red Onion Destroys Cancer Tumours

A new study has confirmed that eating red onion, a common, vegetable used in cooking around the world, may help to fight cancer.

According to the study, which was presented at the ‘Food Research International’ forum, the tasty vegetable is full of powerful compounds that help to kill tumours.

One type of the red onion known as anthocyanins, which was responsible for its dark colouring, were believed to be inhibiting the spread of the disease.

A flavonoid called quercetin, one of the compounds, had the same effects by shrinking the size of cancerous masses, medical experts had affirmed.

According to Canadian scientists, any type of onion, regardless of its colour, may help to destroy cancer.

Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body.

Late Night Meal Raises Risk Of Diabetes, Heart Disease

There is a well-known link between eating late and weight gain and now new findings suggest it also increases the risk of diabetes and heart disease.

The study by researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, United States, U.S., found that eating later raises glucose and insulin levels, which are implicated in diabetes.

Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases in which there are high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period.
Similarly, late-night meals also raise cholesterol and triglycerides, a type of fat in the blood, both of which can increase the risk of heart disease.

On its part, cardiovascular disease generally refers to conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to a heart attack, chest pain (angina) or stroke.

Other heart conditions, such as those that affect the heart’s muscle, valves or rhythm, also are considered forms of heart disease.

Furthermore, in line with previous studies, the research discovered that late-night meals caused people to gain weight by reducing the body’s ability to burn fat.

In addition, the findings from the study further confirmed that eating late at night has a host of negative health effects.

Food is consumed late at night is meal taken anywhere from after dinner time to a person’s typical sleep/wake cycle.

Lead author and Research Associate, Professor of Psychology, Namni Goel said, “We know from our sleep loss studies that when you’re sleep deprived, it negatively affects weight and metabolism in part due to late-night eating, but now these early findings, which control for sleep, give a more comprehensive picture of the benefits of eating earlier in the day.”

According to a report on the ‘mailonline’, the researchers discovered that when participants ate later, compared to when they ate during the daytime, their weight increased.

They found late-night meals caused people to gain weight by reducing their body’s fat metabolism – the process by which fats are broken down and used for energy.

Tests revealed that eating later led the participants to metabolise fewer lipids or fats. It was also found that delayed eating led them to store carbohydrates – which can lead to weight gain and raised blood sugar and insulin levels.

Similarly, indeed insulin and fasting glucose were found to be higher when people ate later, and their cholesterol and triglyceride levels rose too.

Fibrox: The Effective Herbal Cure For Fibroid

Before we take a look at what has made Fibrox the most effective treatment for Fibroid in Africa, it is note-worthy to consider briefly what Fibroid itself really is.

The word "Fibroid" sounds like a death knell in the ears of most women. But this should not be so. Every woman has Fibroid because it is a natural growth on the walls of the uterus. However, it is when this growth becomes abnormal that Fibroid becomes an issue, and in some cases, can become a very big issue if the right steps are not taken to correct it.

Orthodox medicine does not have any remedy for Fibroid other than surgery. However, this is a very risky approach because in most cases, surgery scars the uterus, making normal ovarian functions like normal menstruation, ovulation and conception difficult if not impossible.

Surgery brings a whole lot of complications that end up damaging the womb. Some women have had their womb completely removed because of complications due to Fibroid surgery.

It then becomes obvious that the actual cure for Fibroid lies in natural, herbal therapy. And this is where Fibrox comes to play a vital roll.
