It has been discovered that men are capable of having s*x and enjoying it at any opportune time and place. It is so easy for men to do so because of their physiological make up. Men have been said to be like a helicopter when it comes to s*x. They are easily aroused, and can taxi, and take off like a helicopter, without a runway. Therefore, for men, sex can be said to be an anytime affair without prior intent. However, men still have a time that makes sex most suitable for them. Experts in this field have said that males’ best s*x time is in the morning. According to s*x therapist, Dr. Arlene Goldman, co-author of Psychology Today Here to Help: Secrets of Sexual Ecstasy,  “Many men are on their horniest first thing in the morning.”  Though you may not feel like it, doing it in the morning can be amazingly hot for you as well, even as a woman.   Your man’s best time for s*x is in the morning due to a biological reason that is known as testosterone. After a night’s sleep, the level

A new online calculator can help predict if a woman will develop breast cancer within the next five and 10 years. The tool estimates a person's risk based on age, race and ethnicity, family history, whether or not they have had a breast biopsy in the past, and breast density. According to Dailymail, Researchers behind the test hope it will enable doctors to identify those patients at highest risk of the disease. The tool which was developed by the National Cancer Institute-funded Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium (BCSC), is an online based platform where users can fill in some information and then get an estimated Risk Assessment Result. Dr Charlotte Gard, from the New Mexico State University and a consultant at the National Cancer Institute-funded Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium (BCSC), said: 'Our tool is unique in that it combines both breast density and biopsy results. 'It's the only risk assessment tool that includes BI-RADS (Breast Imaging

Lovers of noodles in Nigeria must be careful of the distribution and sales of a particular brand of noodles in the country. The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, has warned of some Maggi noodles produced by Nestle India. NAFDAC said these noodles contained excess lead and were therefore deemed unsafe and hazardous for human consumption. “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 shou

Breastfeeding benefits babies.  There is huge evidence that breastfeeding helps improve healthier immune systems and fewer breathing difficulties. Breastfeeding is also protects the mothers’ health. The longer the duration of breastfeeding, the lower the chances of developing breast cancer. Most women who breastfeed their babies and stop after several months, or breastfeed less frequently as they start to supplement with formula and baby food may not be as protected. Studies that have found that breastfeeding lowers breast cancer risk have also found that protection builds up over time (that is, duration of breastfeeding) and number of children that are breastfed. Women who have many children and breastfeed each baby for a long time seem to be at somewhat lower risk of breast cancer than women who have smaller families and breastfeed for a shorter time. Women who breast-feed their babies and later develop breast cancer are less likely to have the cancer return or to

Nigerian health authorities said on Monday that ethanol poisoning from a local gin may have been responsible for the sudden death of 18 people last week. “We strongly suspect ethanol poisoning and in view of this, we have ordered for another toxicology test for the surviving victims,” Ondo state health commissioner Dayo Adeyanju told AFP. Preliminary investigations ruled out viral or Ebola infection for the outbreak of the mysterious illness in the southwestern town of Ode-Irele on April 15. “Our investigations revealed that five of the victims took local gin mixed with herbs. Three of them died while the other two have been put under close observation,” he said. In total, 23 people were affected, out of which 18 died. The five others were referred to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital for further tests and monitoring. Adeyanju said the disease was not contagious, adding no new case has been reported for the past four days. “We will continue to monitor the s

At least 30 people have been killed in the latest cholera outbreak in Isoko South community of Nigeria’s oil-rich Delta State, a health official said Monday. Steven Ofili, chief epidemiologist at the Delta State health ministry, said prompt response and physical attention of health workers had curbed the spread of the disease. According to the official, people of the local community had been facing challenges of cholera disease since 2010, when their main source of drinking water was polluted. He said, rather than seeking medical help at the local health center in the area, the people resorted to traditional medicines and self-medication to cure themselves. “It was not until after the disease had claimed five lives that they (the local residents) brought it to the knowledge of the local authorities,” the official told Xinhua in Asaba, the Delta State capital. Confirmed cases of cholera were promptly treated at the local health facility where medical workers, in a

The World Health Organisation (WHO) says pesticide poisoning is the probable cause of 18 mysterious deaths in south-western Nigeria. Those who died in Ondo state suffered from blurred vision and headaches, and then lost consciousness before dying within 24 hours. A spokesman for the WHO said tests done so far had been negative for viral and bacterial infections. He said the current theory was that the deaths were caused by weedkiller. The outbreak started in the town of Ode-Irele. All of those affected started showing symptoms between 13 and 15 April. The WHO spokesman, Gregory Haertl, tweeted: "Current hypothesis is cause of the event is herbicides" and "Tests done so far are negative for viral and bacterial infection." The tests were carried out at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, the WHO said.  

A “mysterious” disease that kills patients within 24 hours, said to have been inflicted by an angry ‘god’, has claimed at least 18 lives in a south western Nigerian town, the government said Saturday. “Twenty-three people (were affected) and 18 deaths were recorded,” the Ondo state health commissioner, Dayo Adeyanju, told AFP.

Laboratory tests have so far ruled out Ebola or any other virus, Akinmade said. The World Health Organization meanwhile said it had information on 14 cases with at least 12 dead. “Common symptoms were sudden blurred vision, headache, loss of consciousness followe

Speaking at a media briefing on Monday, the Acting Chief Medical Director of the hospital, Prof. Chris Bode, said, “Our attention has been drawn to a malicious piece of information making the rounds on social media, which purported that two foreign nationals brought to LUTH on Sunday, April 12, 2015 died of EVD. “This is to swiftly deny any such rumour and inform members of the public that no such event happened.” Bode said the hospital had combed its records at all points of entry in LUTH in the past two weeks and had no such incident to report. “Our professionals at the emergency services, various lines of responders, laboratories and nurses all reported no such cases in our ho

Ovulation Cycle Knowing the science behind your cycle of ovulation may help to understand better when you can be more fertile and have the best chance of conceiving. Although it happens every month, the ovulation cycle is unique, customized for your body and influenced by what is happening in your daily life. Things like stress and big changes in your normal routine can lead to a significant change in the ovulation cycle, which can be painful when you are trying to conceive. The first part of the cycle of ovulation is the follicular phase. From the first day of the menstrual period, this phase continues until ovulation occurs. This part of the cycle may last 7-40 days, and may vary due to many factors such as age, stress, illness, travel, etc. The second part of the cycle is called the luteal phase and begins the day of ovulation until the first day of your period. This is a more precise chronology and usually lasts between 12 to 16 days after the day of ovulation. With this in mind
