9 Health Benefits of Chocolate

Image
Superfoods don't just come from your supermarket's produce aisle. In fact those chocolate candy bars next to the gummy bears now qualify. Study after study proves that dark chocolate—sweet, rich, and delicious—is good for more than curing a broken heart. The secret behind its powerful punch is cacao, also the source of the sweet's distinct taste. Packed with healthy chemicals like flavonoids and theobromine, this little bean is a disease-killing bullet. The only problem? Cacao on its own is bitter, chalky, nasty stuff. Enter milk, sugar, and butter—good for your taste buds, not always good for your health. Besides adding calories, these can dilute the benefits of cacao. So snack smart: Stick to healthy chocolate with at least 70 percent cacao (or cocoa, which is cacao in its roasted, ground form). As long as the content is that high, says Mary Engler, Ph.D., a professor of physiological nursing at the University of California at San Francisco, you can reap the be

It is no secret that sleep is one of the most important parts of your physical and mental health. However, did you know that how you sleep is just as important as how much you sleep? Your chosen sleep position can impact your health, help you keep your skin looking young, and improve your digestive health. In fact, sleeping on the left side of your body can even save your life.

The most common types include  lung, prostate, breast, ovarian, bladder, colorectal, kidney (renal), pancreatic, and endometrial cancers as well as melanoma and leukemia .

Carving a Stone Sink May Be Easier Than You Think(make up)

Image
i^ve always had a special fondness for stone sinks. If I ever built my own home, I would want to have at least one. In these two videos, YouTuber The Samurai Carpenter shows you how he built and installed a stone sink for one of his bathrooms out of a big granite rock he had in his yard. The amazing thing is that he did the sink cutting itself in just four hours, using readily available (or easily rentable) tools. I never would have thought that this was something an average person could do, but he makes it look very doable. For the build, he used a diamond cut-off saw (which you’d likely need to rent), a hammer drill with a  chisel bit, a hammer and cold chisel, a laser level, and an angle grinder with a diamond wheel.

Oklahoma Daycare Accused of Drugging Babies to Make Them Sleep

Image
Mommies, please, oh please let this story serve as a lesson to trust your gut! No matter how crazy people make you feel, there's nothing like a mother's intuition. Leslee Meade is more than likely trying to process her feelings, and rightfully so, after she sensed something wasn't right in the atmosphere concerning her son. Shockingly, she was right. A sheriff's department in Durant, Oklahoma, is currently investigating Leslee's daycare that gave babies Benadryl to make them sleep (allegedly of course) -- including Leslee's son, 6-month-old Hendrix. It seems staff at this oh-so-awesome daycare finally had the courage to come forward and alert authorities about this potentially harmful practice. Sure, some of our parents, and even grandparents for that matter, likely believed in old-school methods of getting kids to sleep that included Mom drinking a little beer. I get that (not saying I fully agree). What's very dangerous about this situation

Parents Say Miley Cyrus Is the Worst Celebrity Role Model for Kids

Image
It looks like the parents have spoken when it comes to entertainers they don't like their children to see. She might be popular among her peers, but Miley Cyrus is the worst (female) celeb role model for kids -- according to a survey from U.K. coupon site Vouchercloud. In addition to Cyrus, mums and dads had no love for Nicki Minaj and Kim Kardashian, as the two rounded out second and third place. As for the gents, Kim's hubby Kanye West (at least the West family was together) was voted worst male celebrity, followed by the Biebs (Justin Bieber, that is) and One Direction's Zayn Malik. So who, pray tell, do you wonder are the celeb parental faves? Why, Kate Middleton and Taylor Swift, of course. Some, however, might debate Swift's squeaky-clean image (do I sense "Bad Blood"?).  The sooner some parents (not all, some) realize entertainers aren't always here to deliver a PSA, the easier it will be to live and allow them to do their

10 Incredible Things Women Wear That Men Hate

Image
1. Wear shoes that you can walk in … “Wearing heels that you can’t walk in is a dealbreaker. I’m not taking you out for play-pretend model time, this is NYC and you will be expected to be able to walk from the table to the door without a pulley system or guide rail.” — Evan, 25 2. … with the exception of Uggs … “Uggs. They’re ugly, the shape is ugly, it looks like you’re wearing eskimo shoes. It’s not sexy. Seriously, wear anything but Uggs, especially when it’s warm out!” — Matthew, 35  3. … and make sure that your shoes actually fit. “When girl’s toes come out over their shoes, it’s disgusting. Even if she’s a dime, if I see those toes spilling out, it’s all over. Buy the right size.” — Ray, 26  4. Avoid hair accessories that make you look like a sea creature. “I can’t stand those thin headbands that girls always wear to music festivals. They always end up getting pushed up and make their hair look like a jelly fish or something. I just can’t dig that weird look

best Ways to Predict Your Baby’s Gender

Image
Most women are able to find out their baby’s gender during their 20 week ultrasound, but in the meantime it’s fun to let people guess what you are having based on all the old pregnancy wives’ tales. Morning sickness may be a predictor of baby’s gender. Many women claim that they feel much sicker when they are pregnant with a girl than with a boy. And, research tends to support this claim as well. Several studies have found that women who had hyperemesis gravidarum (or extreme morning sickness) were more likely to be pregnant with girls.  What does your belly look like? Does it look more like a watermelon or a basketball? This old wives’ tale has been around for a while. If you look like you’re carrying a watermelon, you are having a girl. If you look like you’re sporting a basketball, you’re having a boy.

Baby Born Without A Nose Is So Cute, He’s Melting People’s Heart

Image
This adorably cute baby named Eli Thompson, is a 1 in 10 Billion baby. He was born with a rare condition known as Congenital Arhinia. It is a condition where the baby is born without a nose, and it is so rare there have only been 30 cases reported so far.  Brandi, and Troy Thompson were not aware there was anything different about their baby until after he was born, because nothing showed up on the ultrasound. At birth Brandi and Troy were totally surprised to see their baby did not have a nose. A tracheotomy was done to help him breath better, and Eli will be going through more surgeries in the future. He requires close monitoring, and he cannot cry so his parents have to keep a close eye on him.

The World's First Solar-Powered Sports Car Could Drive Forever

Image
Can a road-legal car be powered by the Sun alone? One company thinks so, and they’re planning to unveil a scaled-down version of their proposal later this year. Called “The Immortus,” the two-person vehicle is the work of EVX Ventures, an electric vehicle technology startup based in Melbourne, Australia. The car is decked out in solar panels, covering up to eight square meters (86 square feet), and also has a lithium battery to store energy, between five and 10 kilowatt-hours. So light is the car though, 500 kilograms (1,100 pounds) when empty and 700 kilograms (1,550 pounds) when fully laden, it is able to run on just solar power alone. This is all possible thanks to the low mass-to-power ratio of the car. It is also extremely aerodynamic while still looking “compelling and stylish,” EVX co-founder and CEO Barry Nguyen said to IFLScience. The car also doesn’t use normal road tires, but rather tires specially designed for so-called “solar racers” – cars that are powe

A heart attack can be stopped in just 60 seconds using cayenne pepper. Yes, you really read that right.Cayenne pepper has the power to stop a heart attack in exactly 60 seconds! “In 35 years of practice, and working with the people and teaching, I have never on house calls lost one heart attack patient and the reason is, whenever I go in–if they are still breathing–I pour down them a cup of cayenne tea (a teaspoon of cayenne in a cup of hot water, and within minutes they are up and around). ” – Dr.John Christopher, a farmer healer, speaking from personal experience, and not just speculation.

3 Ways to Get Rid of Your Stubborn Menopause Belly Fat

Image
According to the National Institute on Aging, the average age a woman experiences her final period and enters menopause is 51 years of age. Of course, this can vary by quite a lot, meaning some women enter menopause in their early 40s, while others may not do so until their late 50s. As a woman’s estrogen production plummets, weight gain in the midsection may become a struggle. The Mayo Clinic, however, states that the ‘middle-age spread’ doesn’t have to be inevitable. The Beginning of the Process Some women notice belly fat and other weight gain as soon as they enter perimenopause, which can range from anywhere in the mid-30s to the mid-50s. During this transition period, a woman’s body slows its estrogen production. This, possibly coupled with a more sedentary lifestyle, can lead to stubborn belly fat.  A Three-Prong Approach to Beating Menopausal Belly Fat While every woman’s body and lifestyle is unique, there are three main strategies for ridding yourself of belly fa

29 Weight Loss Tips That Actually Work from Women Who have Lost Over 100 Pounds!

Image
The weight loss industry rakes in $20 Billion annually. It’s no surprise, considering how difficult it is to lose weight. Dieters spend hundreds, sometimes thousands, to see very small results. It might seem much easier to just give up. Fortunately, there are many people who have seen weight loss success and were willing to share their secrets with Elizabeth Narins. The women who shared the following 29 tips have lost over 100 pounds and have kept it off. 1. Start small A sure way to sabotage your weight loss efforts is to expect too much too soon.

How to Manage a Persistent Form of Acne: Whiteheads and Blackheads

Image
Perhaps the best way to think of acne is that it is an external manifestation of an internal imbalance. Simply put, the driving force behind acne is an over secretion of skin oil (sebum) by the sebaceous glands in the skin. This over secretion by the sebaceous glands initially shows up as “oily skin,” as the excess sebum reaches the surface of the skin. This is the first warning sign that indicates you may succumb to acne. Actually you can stop this process and prevent acne from coming if you step in with preventive care to moderate the oiliness. When the over production of skin oil persists, and the pores in the skin become clogged with dead skin cells and debris, we see the appearance of comedones more commonly known as whiteheads and blackheads.  This is indeed the first stage of acne and must be treated, otherwise it may become chronic, lead to more severe stages of acne with larger pimples and even cysts and finally result in damaged skin in the form of acne scars an

7 Types Of Rashes You Should Never Ignore! These Are The Warning Signs

Image
What do bed bugs, tick bites and mosquito bites all have in common? For the most part, they all leave rashes of some kind that shouldn’t be ignored. With the latest outbreak of Lyme disease and other forms of diseases, it is vitally important for people, and parents especially, to pay close attention to what may seem like a slow-starting rash that eventually turns into a full-blown life-threatening situation and possible fatality. As reported by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) there are now more than 14 different diseases alone that are transmitted to humans by infected ticks. However, our article below deals with the seven most common rashes that are easily observable yet shouldn’t be ignored. If they are non-infectious, the chances are good that they can be treated with natural remedies or over-the-counter medications. Although not in itself a worm, it actually is a fungus living off dead skin, hair and tissue surrounding the nails. Starting off red and scaly, it then

8 Qualities Woman Has that Her Man Can’t Just Resist!

Image
Ladies, if you’re interested in having a quality relationship with your man, or finding a man to have a quality relationship with, read on! Always remember that men and women are different. So to attract a man, and keep him, it is imperative that you understand men (especially your own man!). As mentioned in the book, Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man, many women are clueless about how men think. A man desires a woman he can respect and trust- a woman of good character and integrity. Depending upon your goal and behavior, you can become for him the “marrying type” or the “plaything”.  Men are more likely to fall in love with a modest woman – modest in behavior, dress, and in the way she talks. They may lust after the “hot” woman, but she is not likely to be the one to meet his mom.  A smile is always an excellent start to any relationship. So, if smiling does not come naturally to you, start practicing and perfecting your smile. Your intent will show too, so practice your

Begin Doing Yoga Physical activity may be the last thing on your mind for something fun to do during your period. However, some types of yoga poses can help relieve menstrual symptoms, including cramps. According to Yoga Point, some asanas you can try include Cat pose, gentle backbends, and Tiger pose.
