Sex Is Good For Your Health- Dr. Stella Eze

Good and regular marital sex can help you live a longer and happier life. According to Dr Stella Eze, a gynaecologist with a Lagos based private hospital, MAY Hospital, Ilasa. Good sex not only promotes longevity but also keeps diseases such as the deadly breast cancer away. In an interview with IMOH ESSIEN, Dr. Eze describes sex, particularly between married couples as beautiful and specially designed by God and nature to keep people in good shape all year round. Here are some of the benefits of sex as listed by Dr. Eze, when you click read more….

Sex can cure headaches

Some of the health benefits of sex are its ability to act as a pain reliever. The hormone oxytocin (a nine amino acid peptide that is synthesized in hypothalamic neurons and transported down axons of the posterior pituitary

for secretion into blood) secretes within your body whenever you engage in sexual activity. Because of this secretion, endorphins (hormone-like chemicals that bear a close functional resemblance to morphine) are released. When a person is aroused or excited, oxytocin levels not only begin to increase, they are the reason that orgasms come about. Studies have shown that a rise in oxytocin levels can relieve pain; everything from headaches, cramps and overall body aches can be diminished with a simple roll in the hay.

Sex reduces stress and aids sleep

A recent survey revealed that people who have more sex reported that they felt more at ease, happier and learned how to handle stress better. After an orgasm, an intense wave of calm and relaxation overcomes humans (that’s why men usually fall asleep) and it’s a time when people can truly liberate themselves and let go. Plenty of people who enjoy a regular dose of sex convey that they sleep much better during the night and feel alive and refreshed throughout the day. So, one of the health benefits of sex is a better night’s sleep, which allows you to handle day-to-day stress much more efficiently.

Sex increases sufficient blood flow

It goes without saying that when we get aroused our blood starts to pump at a quicker rate and, thus, blood flow to our brain increases. Both an increased heart rate and more blood pumping through the brain result in better performance (in and out of the bedroom). What this ultimately means is that the fresh supply of blood pumping through your body provides the organs with a healthy dose of oxygen and rids the body of old and wasteful products. So, another health benefit of sex is a cleansed system. Treat your temple right with the help of a little excitement.

Regular marital sex improves Fountain of youth

Although the orgasm is sometimes referred to as the “little death,” having at least two orgasms a week can increase your life span. Every time you reach orgasm, the hormone DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) increases in response to sexual excitement and ejaculation. DHEA can boost your immune system, repair tissue, improve cognition, keep skin healthy, and even work as an antidepressant. Therefore, a health benefit of sex if you keep the orgasms coming is potentially a longer life. It’s quite evident that there are many health benefits of sex. It increases brain power, heart rate, it can help fend off diseases and ailments, and it makes individuals feel good about themselves. In today’s stressful society, it has become a little more difficult to engage in intimate sexuality as often, but as long as you incessantly make the effort, you’ll realize that it’s always worth it. The health benefits of sex will make you feel wonderful within and without and you will gradually notice that the more sex you have, the more bounce you will have in each step. Happiness isn’t sex itself, but sex does ultimately play a role in human happiness.

A Califonia mom feeds child with Baby formula mixed with bacardi

A California mom is accused of mixing booze with her 5-month-old daughter's baby formula and then feeding it to her.
Iesha Hill, 26, was arrested Saturday in Stockton after she realized her daughter had alcohol in her system and took her to the hospital, according to Fox 40.
Hill's mother, 44-year-old Tressie Piggee, says the whole thing was an accident. Baby formula had been made with a bottle of what appeared to be water on Friday night -- but the unlabeled bottle turned out to be Bacardi, she told News 10.
The next morning, the mother noticed the little girl's head wobbling.
"That's when Iesha opened the bottle to see if there was something wrong with the formula -- and smelled alcohol," Piggee said. "We feel bad for the baby because she's up there suffering right now because of our mistakes."
The baby was taken to the hospital for treatment. She was in stable condition but under close watch on Sunday.
"A 5-month-old baby ingesting any amount of alcohol, that's definitely a serious situation which has to be dealt with immediately," Stockton Police Officer Joe Silva told Fox 40.
Hill faces child abuse and endangerment charges, and the incident is still under investigation.

Christian Obodo Speaks On How He Was Kidnapped And Rescued

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"I couldn't believe it. I was on my way to church and I had just parked my car when six boys, very young boys, just came to me and started ordering me to come with them.

"I told them to take it easy, that I would do what they say, and they took me to their car, blindfolded me and drove away. I asked where we were going, and they said Port Harcourt, then Benin, then Asaba. 

Instead, when they took off the blindfold, we were in a forest. That night, I slept on the ground.

"But they were very nice to me. They didn't touch me. They didn't take any of my jewellery or wallet or anything else. We were just talking like old friends. They assured me that nothing would happen to me.

"I even prayed with them. Then the next morning, they started to move again. It was later that I discovered that it was because the whole state had been covered by security operatives. They told me all the roads, even the rivers and creeks were being watched by security." Click to continue reading.....

"They said it was somebody close to me who set everything up. Someone that I have been helping.

They said the person told them I would be in that church by 8am that morning. I couldn't believe it. But they asked how they would know my movement to go and wait for me there. I didn't know what to say."

Most kidnappings take at least a week to resolve, but one day was all it took in this case, and Obodo played his part.

"Five of them left to go and get the money, leaving me with one of them. But he later said we had to leave this place because the area was being monitored. He told me to promise him that I would not shout or run away. I told him I'd been cooperating since they took me and since they had promised to release me that day, I would do what he said.

"When we got to the town, he got a call informing him that two or three of them had been captured.

"I heard the other one telling him to take me back and tie me up in the forest.

"At that point, I told myself I wasn't going back into that forest. So I told him that it's possible his people wanted to betray him, that they may have taken the money and run. I asked him to let me call my people to find out if the money had been picked up.

"He agreed, but said he did not have credit on his phone, so we would have to walk back into the village to buy airtime. As we were walking back to the village, we saw a group of people sitting around, so we stopped to ask for a recharge card. They said they didn't have it there.

"He now said we should move on to the next place. At that point, I pushed him and started running and screaming that I am Chris Obodo and that they should help. The people immediately gathered. Luckily, they also had some vigilante people around, they call them Black Beret, and they came and got me.

"The police were also nearby, because they had been tracking them through the phonecalls. That was when I started crying and giving thanks to God. That is how I got out."

Despite the trauma, Obodo says he has no immediate plans to stop returning home to Warri: "It won't stop me from going to Warri. That is where I have lived all my life. I'm a Warri boy and it's not like I go out anyhow. Whenever I come home, I play football, three-a-side, in my compound with my friends, I don't go out clubbing like I used to when I was much younger, so why should I stop coming?"

He did, however, admit that the experience will leave scars.

"When something like this happens, you learn a lot. It opened my eyes to a lot of things."

Obodo said he is grateful for the groundswell of support. "I just want to thank everybody. My family got a lot of calls, a lot of support, and we just want to thank everyone."

The Delta State Governor, Emmanuel Uduaghan, has ordered 24-hours security for Obodo throughout the duration of his vacation in the state.

Nigeria's grief and gaping spectators

In our series of viewpoints from African journalists, Sola Odunfa looks at how the tragic loss of 153 lives at the Dana Air crash in Lagos sparked an outpouring of nationwide mourning and grief.

No-one in Nigeria was prepared for the horrific tragedy which occurred near Lagos on the 3 June.
It has been a long, long time since the entire nation was so thrown into genuine grief by a single incident.
From the south to the north, east to west, sorrow engulfed the country as if each household nationwide was mourning a private loss.
This is the quality of our common humanity.
Tragic news I decided to spend that Sunday as quietly as possible, alone, watching television comedy and amusing myself with suitable entrees on Facebook.

President Goodluck Jonathan was unable to contain his emotions when he visited the site of the crash

All was well until late in the afternoon when the BBC correspondent Will Ross came in clutching his laptop as usual.
In his relatively short time in Nigeria, Will seems to have dropped the British impersonal "hello" and has instead imbibed the Nigerian tradition of greeting people heartily.
He said the proper "Good afternoon, Sola" but hurried into his office.
I responded appropriately and followed him into his office to at least find out more about the big story that was chasing him on this happy day.
Will looked grey and could not talk as he set up his laptop.
He flapped his arms momentarily and dropped them.
"A plane crash."
I got the message.
"Where?" I shouted.
"Lagos."

“Start Quote

Who would not shed tears at the news that a party of 10 girls from Lagos, who were radiant bridesmaids at a society wedding in Abuja the previous day, all died in the crash?”

I noticed that his eyes were red.

I ran out to the outer office and tuned the TV to a domestic news station.
The tragic news was streaming at the bottom of the screen.
I became agitated and without thinking, I started working the epileptic phone, seeking information from officials, colleagues and friends with appropriate connections.
The Dana airplane, which took off with 153 passengers, including 12 children from Abuja, crashed into a street in the densely populated Iju town just outside Lagos.
Watched by scores of horrified residents in their houses and on the streets, the screams of trapped passengers, their unspeakable terror in the burning fuselage.
One's imagination had no limits.
Gaping spectators As expected, thousands of residents and their Sunday visitors rushed to the scene.
They got there alright, but all they could do was gape at the horror before them and wail.
They were not medics, they were not trained rescuers, they were merely there to satisfy their curiosity.

Some spectators used their mobile phones to post images on social networking sites

Their best response was to throw water in buckets and plastic sachets at the periphery of the fire.
Indeed, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
The huge crowds were officially, at best, a nuisance - for when the search and rescue teams arrived, all the access roads to the area were blocked by rock-solid human walls.
The officials were incapacitated for hours during which the inferno played itself out over its 153 human victims.
The area was secured the following morning for the rescuers to work seriously but by then there was no-one to be rescued.
By Monday morning, internet social media sites and cell phones were filled with mourning texts by friends of the victims.
The victims were listed with their full descriptions.
No accident in Nigerian history has ever been given such coverage by citizens.
Lost promise Most of the victims were young upwardly mobile persons, they were well educated, they were in jobs which gave them social exposure.
They were lively, they were symbols of the new generation of Nigerians in the professions.
I did not know anyone of them personally but who would not shed tears at the news that a party of 10 girls from Lagos, who were radiant bridesmaids at a society wedding in Abuja the previous day, all died in the crash.
Who would shrug off news of the gruesome death of a young family of six on the same flight.
And in Lagos, a woman who has completed all arrangements for her daughter's wedding in September is asking sympathisers to her residence. Who will wear her wedding gown now?
And in the Ikeja capital of Lagos State, a cake ordered by the children for their father's birthday is sitting on the dining table at their residence.
Their father and mother died in the Sunday crash, 48 hours to his birthday.
How many orphans and widows did the crash create?
Their own tears may never dry.

Man jailed for 'fingering' 5-year-old girl

Ahmed Kabir, 40, claims he did it because he is not married
A Chief Magistrates' Court sitting in Katsina, on Wednesday, sentenced one Ahmed Kabir, 40, to one year imprisonment for inserting his finger in the private part of a five-year-old girl.

Prosecutor Okolo Usman had told the court that Kabir lured the girl into his room and committed the act; during which she sustained an injury.

According to him, the "gross indecency" was contrary to Section 285 of the Penal Code.

Kabir pleaded guilty to the charge and asked for leniency, saying he was a first offender. He told the court that he committed the offence because he had no wife.

Delivering judgment on the case, Chief Magistrate Nuraddeen Jikamshi sentenced the accused to one year imprisonment to serve as deterrent to others; and advised him to be of good behaviour after serving his jail term
