  • How You Can  Protect Yourself From Ovarian Cancer

While there is no definitive way to prevent ovarian cancer, there are steps you can take that may reduce your risk and detect the disease in its early stages, increasing your chances of survival. They include:
  • Getting a routine pelvic exam.
  • Reporting any irregular vaginal bleeding or abdominal pain to your doctor.
  • If you have close family members (mother, sister, or daughter) with ovarian cancer, discuss your risk factors with your doctor.
  • Don't use excessive talcum powder on or near the vagina.
  • Eat a low-fat diet.
 Although it is not known for sure if eating a low-fat diet or one that is rich in vegetables can actually decrease your risk of developing ovarian cancer, eating a healthy diet can decrease your risk for many chronic diseases, including some other types of cancer. 
Excess accumulation of belly fat is more dangerous than excess fat around your hips and thighs. Belly fat is associated with serious health problems, such as heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Your genes can contribute to your being overweight and help determine where you carry this extra fat, but poor lifestyle choices are likely to worsen the issue. Read labels, reduce saturated fats, increase the amount of fruits and veggies you eat, and control and reduce your portions.
Alcohol has almost as many calories as fat.
Alcohol does seem to have a particular association with an increased waistline, though. In general, that’s because when you drink alcohol, your liver is too busy burning off alcohol to burn off fat, leaving you with a beer belly. Studies show that alcohol can cause you to feel hungry by affecting hormones that regulate a sense of satiety.

Trans fats may be found in such foods as margarine, pastries, cookies and crackers, as well as fried and convenience foods; hence you need to be careful how much of these gets into your system.
Green tea, in combination with exercise, could help you lose weight,. Researchers think substances in green tea known as catechins stimulate the body to burn calories and enhance loss of belly fat. Blueberries also show promise, albeit in rodents. In one study, rats bred to become obese were fed either a high-fat diet or a low-fat diet rich in blueberries. Rats fed a blueberry-rich diet had less abdominal fat.
Many fast food options are typically high-fat, calorie-dense foods that are eaten in large portions -- all of which contribute to over-consumption of calories, weight gain, and an increase in belly fat when eaten frequently. Many fast food restaurants don’t provide nutritional information, but studies have shown that when this is available, people tend to pick lower-calorie meals.

Public Masturbation Has Been Declared Legal In Sweden

On June 6, 2013 a 65-year-old man took off his shorts at a beach near Stockholm and began masturbating into the ocean. According to Swedish newsite, The Local ; the man was charged with sexual assault, but was acquitted last week after a judge ruled that he was not targeting a specific person. The prosecutor even implied that it was “okay” to play with yourself in public! Public Prosecutor,   Olof Vrethammar said: “For this to be a criminal offence it’s required that the sexual molestation was directed towards one or more people. I think the court’s judgement is reasonable. With that we can conclude that it is okay to masturbate on the beach.” Vrethammar however agreed that in the future, public masturbation might be considered disorderly conduct. The ruling in this case comes just three months after Sweden’s last major sex scandal. Okay, I just had to chip this one in… The Swedish police in Stockholm also announced that same June, 2013 that a man who RAPES

But like any ordinary day, it certainly marks the last day on earth for some people and the first for others. Coincidently the number “29” seems to have some uncanny importance as the major persons involved  in the 2012 Election petition,  John Dramani Mahama and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, were both born on the 29 th- John was on the 29 th November and Nana 29 th March. Though President John Mahama has not yet celebrated his birthday this year, some of his fans expressed the belief that this is a memorable day for him and the party. Consequently, out of sheer curiosity, The General Telegraph visited some health facilities in Accra just to find out the number of babies born on this historic day with the auspicious hope that they might all turn into great personalities someday. As of 2: 00 pm on Thursday, the Osu Maternity Home, La General Hospital , Police
