Many might not be able to explain adequately how exercising helps to maintain healthy living but they know quite well that people who exercise have better chances of recovering faster than those who don't make it a practice.    Orthodox...

 Smiling would feel good when one gaze through the mirror and obverse ones teeth. How do one feel when after smiling, pictures of the smile starts trending as a subject of humor on social media because of teeth coloration. It is worth noting  that the true color of the teeth (dentin) is yellow. The more one ages, the outer part of the teeth called enamel gets worn out revealing the true color of the teeth. Nevertheless, there are other factors  that could contribute to teeth coloration which are majorly contributed by ones life style.  One is fluoride intake. Due to environmental factors, one could come in contact with it in drinking water. I really wouldn’t be a part of encouraging one to stop drinking water because of beauty.  sodium fluoride is sometimes included in some toothpaste. It would be a great debate if one starts to encourage the use of chewing stick over toothbrush. Although research has it that chewing stick has revealed parallel and at t...

A merry heart does good like medicine. So does the Holy Book says but how can one be merry when hope disappoints? Now that we are in the Christmas Holiday, it's a general believe that the prices of food and clothing skyrockets and we are still encourage through music to be joyful.

The hope one has in a medicine go a long way in healing the person. I have seen someone who is used to taking just water when he is sick with the hope of getting well and it always work out for him.  From history, before the discovery of a chemotherapy for malaria, people see malaria  as a curse from  the angel of death. That was why Africa was called  the "White man's grave". But now, people see malaria as just mere fever that even many result in self medication without visiting the hospital but what if they are diagnosed of cancer or HIV/AID? How do yo...
