Boost Your Sexual Life With Herbal Medicine, Meet The Experts

One basic fact about herbal medicine is that it is organic in nature - much like the food you eat - and any part that is not absorbed by the body is taken out through the various excretory organs. This is quite unlike chemical based drugs which do not have a route of escape for the body and thus become toxic, thereby leading to other health issues.

Enhancing sexual drive through herbal medicine has been found to be more effective than orthodox drugs. In fact, one major reasons while our forefathers where able to marry many wives and satisfy them sexually even in old age, is because of their intensive use of herbal medicine. Compare that with what is obtainable today and you will discover that nowadays, men as young as 30 or 35 years are having problems with their sexual life because they do not make use of these natural medicines.

The use of  natural aphrodisiac found in herbal medicine has been in use since time immemorial.

The origin of "aphrodisiac" derives from Greek mythology and references Aphrodite, the goddess of love. Since the beginning of time, men have searched for aphrodisiacs in order to stimulate their failing passions. Overtime, longevity has increased and so has the pursuit for enhanced experience. Although Viagra (sildenafil citrate) has proven itself an extremely effective aphrodisiac, it is also a prescription medication that is not appropriate for use by all men and is in fact considered "inadvisable" for those men with underlying cardiovascular risk. In contrast, herbal medicine have been found to be much better health wise than these orthodox drugs.

In the case of many men, a more natural remedy with accompanying connotations of mellowness and tradition is preferred.

One of the herbs that are used to enhance sexual life is the yohimbe, a tall evergreen native to west Africa, including Nigeria and its bark natural remedy called yohimbine. Yohimbe bark has traditionally been used in Africa as an aphrodisiac and is currently used as a remedy for sexual dysfunction, including erectile dysfunction. As a dietary supplement, the dried bark is made into tea and taken by mouth; an extract of the bark is also put into capsules and tablets. The amount of yohimbine in dietary supplements may vary with some products containing very little yohimbine.

Of course, there are several herbs that are currently been formulated into natural remedies for sexual dysfunction.

Improve Your Mental Capacity With Crayfish

Are you interested in crayfish? some people are so in love with this seafood that they are ready to use it instead of fish. The following article was written by a specialist from Trapper Arne  who decided to study crayfish and do a research on it. 

Ever since my mother told me, I have believed it. Fish and shellfish are brain food.


As I grew older, I may have taken that truth with a grain of salt or two. But when I started gathering nutritional facts about crayfish, I found to my surprise that nutritionists now are convinced that crayfish, and other shellfish like lobster, crab and shrimp, do indeed have the nutrients that stimulate mental energy.


The more I studied the subject, the more I realized that crayfish have a super healthy combination of nutrients from its almost pure form of protein to its healthy amount of Omega-3 Fatty Acids which we now know are among the most beneficial fats we can eat. Crayfish protein has large amounts of the amino acids tyrosine that mentally energizes the brain.


Come to think of it, maybe this is why I usually feel so revived after a meal of crayfish. These amino acids are supposed to make you think and react better and to be more attentive and motivated and mentally energetic. Could this be the reason why crayfish parties and crawfish festivals are so lively?


One nutritionist expressed it as “being on a mental roll” thanks to the dopamine and norepinephrine getting to work in the brain.


However, it appears, according to many physicians specializing in blood types in relation to foods, that people with type O blood thrive on shell fish while those of type B blood often are allergic to it. Just like my wife who cannot touch crustaceans.


In a serving of 3 - 4 ounces of crayfish, you can expect the following amounts of nutrients:

 Total fat  1 g.
 Saturated fat 0 g.
 Cholesterol 126 mg.(compare one egg 200 mg.)
 Sodium  170 mg.
 Total Carbohydrate 0 g.
 Dietary fiber 0 g. 
 Sugars  0 g.
 Protein  16 g.
 Calories 80 (compare to beef 242 calories)

In addition, there is a healthy supply of vitamin D and A as well as calcium and potassium, copper and zinc in crayfish. Iodine is also often mentioned as an important ingredient. As you can also see, crayfish is a very low carbohydrate food, and without ‘carbs’ you can safely eat crayfish without putting on unwanted weight.

Another favorable aspect of crayfish nutrition is that there is hardly ever any toxic residues or artificial hormones injected into the meat as crayfish usually come from lakes that are free from industrial or other pollution. In addition, crayfish are very sensitive to polluted waters and have in the past been used to test the purity of lakes before we invented other methods to determine water purity.

Boiled Or Fried Egg: Which Should You Eat?

In Nigeria, many people love to eat eggs. But for some, it is not usually clear whether to boil the eggs or fry them before eating. You love eggs, you don't necessarily have to give them up to follow a healthy diet. A study published in the "British Journal of Nutrition" found that healthy people can eat eggs up to almost daily without increasing their heart disease risk. However, boiled eggs are a better option than fried eggs because they are a bit lower in fat, including the saturated fat that may potentially increase your cholesterol levels.

 

Each large hard-boiled egg provides 78 calories, 6.3 grams of protein, 0.6 gram of carbohydrates and 5.3 grams of fat, including 1.6 grams of saturated fat. Fry that egg and you'll increase the calories to 90 and the fat to 6.8 grams, including 2 grams of saturated fat, or 10 percent of the daily value for both fat and saturated fat.

Eat a large boiled egg and you'll be getting 15 percent of the DV for riboflavin, 10 percent of the DV for vitamin B-12 and 11 percent of the DV for vitamin D. Fried eggs have a similar vitamin content, although the amounts are slightly less. Riboflavin helps produce red blood cells and turn carbohydrates into energy. You need vitamin B-12 for nervous system and brain function and vitamin D plays a role in immune function and calcium absorption.

Fried eggs have a slightly higher mineral content than hard-boiled eggs. However, the only mineral they contain in significant amounts is phosphorus, with each large fried egg providing 10 percent of the DV. Hard-boiled eggs provide about 9 percent of the DV for this mineral. Phosphorus is essential for strong bones, producing DNA and kidney function.

Other than the fat content, boiled and fried eggs are similar in nutrition, with small differences due to the cooking method and the addition of oil to the fried egg. You can improve the nutrition of your eggs, regardless of your cooking method. If you opt for true free-range eggs, according to an article published in "Mother Earth News," free-range eggs are higher in beta carotene and vitamins A and E, while providing less saturated fat and cholesterol than conventional eggs. While in healthy individuals moderate egg consumption doesn't necessarily increase heart disease risk, it does appear to affect the risk for mortality more in people with diabetes, according to a study published in the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition".

"Beware: Killer Noodles In The Nigerian Market" - NAFDAC

The National Agency For Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has warned Nigerians not to buy a certain brand of noodles called Maggi noodles produced by Nestlé India.

The food and drugs regulatory body noted that the brand of noodles contained excess lead which kills over 143,000 annually.

It said that the Maggi noodles was unsafe and hazardous for human consumption.

In a statement made available to Nigeria Natural Health Online, NAFDAC warns: “Nestle has recalled its Maggi instant noodles from stores across India following the report by the Indian Food Safety Regulators of probable lead contamination. Lead exposure causes an estimated 143,000 deaths a year worldwide. In view of the potential safety concerns on consumption of the lead contaminated Maggi instant noodles, NAFDAC warns that Maggi instant noodles produced by Nestle India should not be consumed. Departmental stores, wholesalers and retailers should also be proactive in ensuring that such products are brought to NAFDAC if they come across any, and under no circumstances should such products be sold.”

Fresh Bird Flu Claims Over 60, 000 Birds In Lagos State

A fresh outbreak of bird flu has reportedly affected over 60, 000 birds in Lagos state. Executive Secretary of the Poultry Association of Nigeria, Lagos State chapter, Mr. Olugbenga Ogunsetan, confirmed this yesterday in Lagos.
He said several poultry farms were affected by the avian influenza in Ikorodu area of the state.

“Over 60,000 birds were lost in August after the avian influenza ravaged the farms.

“This has largely affected production of poultry products and leading to price hike in the area,” Ogunsetan said.

Meanwhile, the state government said it was making arrangement with the Federal Government for compensation to the affected poultry farmers.

The Permanent Secretary of the state Ministry of Agriculture, Dr. Olajide Basorun, who spoke on the compensation move, corroborated the severity claim by the PAN scribe.

He said that compensating affected farmers would encourage others, who were afraid to report the case, to come forward.

“The Lagos state government, in collaboration with the Federal government, is already thinking of ways to support these farmers, whose poultry were affected by the scourge.

“Many economies have shut down because of this avian influenza and these economies have dependants, which mean a lot of people have lost their livelihoods.

“Government is mindful of that and is working out modalities to compensate the farmers so that others, who have the flu and have not reported or are under reporting, will be encouraged to come forward,” he said.

The permanent secretary said government does not want a scenario were the farmers, who do not report, will sell their birds to unsuspecting public.

He said where there was a reported case, the ministry had moved swiftly to conduct tests and depopulate such farm.

Improve Your Health With Occasional Dosage Of Lime Juice

In Africa, and Nigeria in particular, lime tress are bound especially in the rural areas. Even before the advent of modern medicine, lime has been used for medicinal purposes in most parts of the world. Lime is also used to condition some fruits before they are taken. But what are the health benefits of these smaller version of the orange fruit?

These citrus gems contain calcium and folate, two nutrients that are important for post-menopausal women and women of child-bearing age. One fresh lime contains 22 milligrams of calcium and over five micrograms of folate. Not bad for a tiny little fruit!

The peels of citrus fruits contain an inhibitor of melanin production. With age and UV ray exposure, melanin, which gives skin its pigment, can build up and deposit itself as spots on your skin. Treating skin to a mask with bits of lime peel in it could reduce this hyperpigmentation.

The limonoid compounds in limes have been shown to prevent cancers of the colon, stomach and blood. Though the exact mechanism is unknown, scientists have observed that antioxidant limonoids also cause cancer cell death. Lime limonoids also stay active longer in your bloodstream, mopping more free radicals than green tea or dark chocolate.

Fresh or from concentrate, lime juice contains more citric acid than orange or grapefruit juice. Citric acid is a natural inhibitor of kidney stones made of crystallized calcium. Go for fresh lime juice squeezed into water, as opposed to commercial limeades, for maximal benefits.

The primary flavonoid found in the limes, known as hesperidin, has been shown to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels in animals fed a high-cholesterol diet. Get the most hesperidin out of heart-smart limes by eating as much of the white pith as possible.
