Having trouble sleeping?

This breathing trick can help you fall asleep in less than a minute. The method was developed by Harvard-educated, wellness practitioner Dr. Andrew Weil, who specializes in breathing, meditation, and how it can be used to counteract stress.

How Does This Method Work?

It’s very easy; just breathe in through your nose for 4 seconds, hold it for 7 seconds, and exhale through your mouth for 8 seconds. This slows down your heart rate and it also releases chemicals in your brain that soothe you. By using this breathing method, you counteract the natural effects of adrenaline. When you first begin, you may feel a bit uncomfortable, but as you continue, you will feel very relaxed, your heart rate slow and your mind clear.

Give it a try tonight, and tell us what you think in the comments section below.

Graphic photos from the mysterious accident that happened In Asaba

This ghastly accident happened in Asaba, Delta State just by the Federal Medical Center Roundabout. How this happened is yet to be confirmed as some bystanders when interrogated say they saw no one in the car when they came to the scene, suprisingly even as early as six(6:am) today. Some also claim that the victim of the accident was a woman and that it happened late last night.

Nevertheless, the police are yet to discover who the victim(s) of the accident are or who owns the car as it appears that the victim(s) abandoned the car..

A Better Me-- Fumnanya Nwabuoku

I strive to find a better me,
To know something new daliy.
I want to live and not just be,
To live with the right attitude surely.

Working on me won't be easy!
Even though life comes without a manual,

At the end I still know how.

A better me I should feel,
No time to waste time I say,
Improve my skill and be for real.
Its time to command my day!

Seven (7) Reasons Why Drinking Carbonated Drinks can be Cataclysmic to your health

Life can indeed be very ironical at times owing to the fact that sometimes we do take certain decisions aware of the grave consequences yet we continue such actions, maybe because we feel the repercussions of our decision are slow to manifesting. For instance for those who take cigarette in most countries, it is usually boldly written in the cigarette pack that, ''smokers are liable to die young''. Regardless this caution and admonition most smokers still continue to smoke damning the consequence some of them even make a joke with it and laugh over it.

Well, the truth is that we are the product of our decisions. In fact the decisions we make at the early stages of our lives are prime and most important as they form our being. Carbonated items contain carbon dioxide gas under pressure, especially pertaining to beverage as natural mineral water or man-made drinks. A typical example is the soda drink which includes Coke, Pepsi, Fanta, and drinks of that sort.
     
Sincerely, soda drinks can be very refreshing, sweet and could be very addictive for example coke because of its caffeine properties but, that is an issue for another day. According to the 2005 USDA report ''Contribution of nonalcoholic Beverages to the U.S Diet'' on average, America consumes more than 50 gallons of carbonated soft drinks each year. Although the ingredients in carbonated drinks are deemed safe by Food and Drink Administration, these beverages may cause serious side effects especially when consumed regularly or in great quantity.

 People also consume soda in large quantity because let's think about it,
(1) It can be very refreshing
(2) It is not so expensive
(3) Some contain caffeine which could make it addictive
(4) It could be a veritable option for quenching thirst
(5) It is easy to find due to good advertisement, promotions and marketing.

But among all these reason why people take soda, they are even more reasons why soda or carbonated drinks should be avoided. They include:

(1)Risk of Overweight: This is so because soda contains lots of calories which increases risk of obesity. In April 2007 Lenny Vartanian Phd published an article stipulating that sugar sweetened drinks are associated with obesity and this can lead to diabetes, heart disease and obsteoarthritis.

(2) Weakened Bones: This is because it contains Phosphoric Acid which could weaken bones and can rot teeth

(3)It has no Nutritional Value: They are no beneficial components in soft drinks

(4)Diabetes: This is a consequence of overweight. Anything that promotes weight gain increases the risk of diabetes. Drinking soda not only contributes to making people fat, but it also stresses the body's ability to process.

(5) Impairs Brain Functions: It can cause impaired brain functions, hyperactive behavior, difficulty focusing and lack of impulse control.

(6)Increased Blood Pressure: Experts have reasons to believe that overconsumption of fructose particularly in the form of soft drinks, leads to an increase in blood pressure.

(7)Dehydration: This is another problem caused by soda because soda acts as dehydrating diuretics; both caffeine and sugar cause dehydration.

(8) Harmful Effects on liver: There is evidence that consumption of two much soft drink put you under increased risk for liver cirrhosis similar to what chronic alcoholics have.

In conclusion, it now appears that for example taking a bottle of coke will be disastrous to your health but that is not what this essay is saying. What this essay is trying to bring to the fore is that, one should be careful in the consumption of carbonated drinks. Remember ‘too much of everything is not good’ if soda should be taken at all it should be consumed rarely. Instead of consuming carbonated drinks, tea, natural juices, even locally made ‘ZOBO’ without sugar constitute a healthier alternative. Stay SAFE!

New study claims self employed people are more prone to suicide than salary earners

According to a new study carried out by The Times of India, self employed people and people who work in private establishments are more likely to commit suicide than salary earners in government establishments. Read the report below
Self-employed people are more prone to committing suicide as compared to those engaged in service. In service too, private sector employees are more likely to commit suicide than those working with the government. National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data for 2014 shows that self-employed people (including agriculture and business) accounted for 19.7% of all suicides, making them the biggest single group among suicide victims.
Among the self-employed though, businessmen were safer than those engaged in agriculture. Of all the suicide victims in 2014, 9.4% were engaged in agriculture while only 7.5% were engaged in business. The salaried class with financial security is just as vulnerable as businessmen, accounting for 7.5% of all suicides. Government service, however, is a much safer bet for a long life.

Only 1.7% of the suicide victims were engaged in government service. With no job security, private sector employees are more vulnerable. They accounted for 4.7% of all suicides. Employees of public sector undertakings (PSU) accounted for only 1.1% of the victims. Students and unemployed victims accounted for 6.1% and 7.5% of suicides respectively. However, the group most vulnerable to suicides is that of housewives. They accounted for 15.3% of all suicides committed in 2014.

Making a case for economic independence of women, they also made up for 47.4% of all female victims. Most housewives committed suicide in Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh.

The two states had 24.5% and 24.1% victims as housewives respectively. Government servants accounted for 22.2%, 16%, 15.4%, 12.2% & 6.9% of suicides victims in Daman & Diu, Manipur, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram respectively. In Andaman and Nicobar islands 52.9% victims were employed with the private sector. In Chandigarh the same figure stood at 27.6%.

Wake Up feeling like a King!!

Uneasy minds always tend toward negativity, belabored by thoughts, anxiety and frivolities. Like a diesel engine, slow to getting started and indeed can only be fully started when it takes it time to Warm--FontiIyke  

Thinking too much, and worrying is never worthwhile and as I have always said produces no positive result. To wake up feeling like a King one must learn to guard his/her thought so not to start the day feeling like a looser.

Questioning self is necessary to inspire you and make you feel like a king.
Waking up in the morning and asking yourself questions like what did I dream about last night?
Why do I feel so tired? What is for breakfast? What route do I take to work? Might not necessarily be the right questions to ask yourself in the morning.

Remember questioning self is designed to help you put your day in perspective and take charge of your day. So learn to ask question that will order your day like;

*Who am I and where am I going to?
*What is my philosophy of life?
*What do have to look forward to today?
*How can I use today to my own advantage?
*What must I achieve today?

These are examples of questions that make you start turning your mind to achieving your goals and objectives for the day. These questions make you attract the positive things that can happen to you going by ''the law of attraction''. Also when you wake up in the morning to feel like a King, Inspire yourself. Tell yourself I am the Best, I am going to do something great today; I am an agent of success et cetera.

DONTS
*Do not wake up in the morning and go straight to the kitchen to find food that is just depressing.
*Do not wake up in the morning and go straight to turn on your TV, Computer, or Play Computer Game.
Things you watch, hear can affect your day. For example bad new can affect your day adversely.

Dos
*Instead wake up and say your prayer, take charge of your Morning remembering that "Life never gives you what you deserve but that you demand''
*Instead wake by asking yourself questions that will help you achieve a lot for that day like the examples I gave above
*Try Meditating, freeing your mind from unnecessary stress and thoughts. Relax your mind be calm
*Inspire yourself with nice comments and great admonishment
*Listen to meaningful Music that can uplift your inner man, your whole being and not depressing songs or one without lyrics or a message


Good Morning to you beautiful people*



Simple Test: Rack Your Brain...

Let's assume you saw a laptop of 97K. You didn't have the cash, so you borrowed 50K from ur mom and 50K from ur dad = 100K. You bought the laptop which left you with 3K change. You gave ur dad 1K and ur mum 1K and kept the other 1K to yourself. Now you owe your mum 49K and ur dad 49K. Now 49K+49K = 98K + ur 1K kept = 99K.Where is the missing 1K?I know you are intelligent. Solve it and tell me the answer....share and see interesting answers.
