Don Jazzy, Omotola And P-square Named Among Africa's 100 Most Influential People 2013! [SEE FULL LIST]

WELCOME TO NERDTWIST

What is influence and how do you measure it?
It will always be hard to agree on a common
understanding and meaning of influence.
Understandably, this always generates wide
debate.
How do we determine these people’s influence?
And why does it matter that we assemble this
list, you may ask. One yardstick we used was to
emphasise that influence is not about
popularity and popularity is not always
influential.
The influencer’s impact on public, social and
political discourse, however, is what largely
helps us determine their influence. Over the
next few pages, you will find a breadth and
wealth of Africans of all nationalities and ages,
both women and men, whose actions and
reach, we have determined, significantly
impacted and realigned the continent’s
landscape in their fields of endeavour. They
contributed in redefining the African narrative
in 2013 and we feel they will play a big role in
2014 - hopefully, for Africa’s good.

Idris Elba, Actor - Sierra Leone/Ghana
A much sought-after film and television actor,
Elba was born in London to a Sierra Leonean
father and Ghanaian mother. He has taken
both Hollywood and TV acting by storm, in hits
such as The Wire and Luther . But film critics
believe his lead character in the recently
released the film adaption of Nelson Mandela’s
autobiography Long Walk To Freedom, – which
has already been awarded the British Academy
of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Los Angeles
Britannia Humanitarian Award – could be the-
game changing role of his career.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie , Author - Nigeria
Adichie is unstoppable. 2013 has been yet
another good year for this daughter of Nigerian
soil with two major accomplishments to file
under her name: the release, to
unprecedented acclaim, of her much
anticipated novel Americanah and the release
of the movie adaptation of her novel Half of a
Yellow Sun , starring Chiwetel Ejiofor and
Thandie Newton. Yes, it has been a good year,
but Adichie does not look like a lady who will
be slowing down in 2014. As someone who is
not afraaid to confront the difficult subjects of
race, gender and politics, and is a proud
African, who continues to campaign against the
one-story narrative about Africa, we can't wait
to see what she will do next.

Alek Wek , Supermodel - South Sudan
The influential fashion magazine I:D has
dubbed her “Model of the Decade”. The US’s
People magazine listed her as one of the “50
Most Beautiful People”. But the Sudanese
model’s influence extends far beyond the
fashion world and societal concepts of beauty.
As a former refugee, Alek knows what it is like
to be forced to flee one’s home. Hence, she is
a passionate advocate for refugee rights. She is
a world- acclaimed role model who transcends
her industry.

Chiwetel Ejiofor, Actor - Nigeria/UK
Chiwetel Ejiofor has the lead role in two of
2013’s biggest films – 12 Years A Slave, directed
by Steve McQueen, and the film adaptation of
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s award-winning
novel, Half of A Yellow Sun, directed by Biyi
Bandele. His portrayal of former South African
president Thabo Mbeki in the new Channel 4
drama Endgame was also another stellar
performance. Prior to the theatre release of
both films, Ejiofor won critical acclaim for his
portrayal of Patrice Lumumba in A Season in
The Congo, a theatre production about the first
democratically elected leader of the DRCongo at
The Young Vic theatre in London. Born to
Nigerian parents in the UK, the award-winning
actor is garnering an Oscar buzz for his
mesmerising performance in 12 Years A Slave.
The roles he has taken on this year prove once
again what an African A-list, Oscar-deserving
actor he is. Will 2014 be his year?

David Adjaye , Architect - Ghana/UK
David Adjaye is a Ghanaian-British whose
architectural firm won the contract to design
and build the US Smithsonian National Museum
of African-American History and Culture in
Washington DC, which is due to be unveiled in
two years. Adjaye admits this is one of the
most important commissions of his career. At
the young age of 45, he has accomplished what
most in his career can only dream of. His firm
has also been shortlisted in a competition to
build the National Holocaust Monument in
Ottawa. Adjaye is one of a handful of African
architects with global renown, transcending his
profession to become a global commentator on
architecture, design and politics.

music without a mention of Don Jazzy,
described as Africa’s number one beat maker.
Founder and CEO of Mavin Records, Michael
Collins Ajereh, 31, is better known as Don Jazzy
and is an award-winning record producer and
singer-songwriter. Before he set up Mavin

important role in entrepreneurship. She has
since gone on to place the African fashion
industry on a global platform through AFI. She
also heads the Motsepe Family Foundation,
which focuses on projects that positively impact
on people’s health, education and the nurturing
of young talent.

El Anatsui, Artist - Ghana
He is revered by critics and art lovers on both
sides of the Atlantic, and an inspiration to a
young generation of African artists. El Anatsui is
one of the most exciting contemporary visual
artists on the international art scene today. His
work transcends boundaries and he has
received widespread international acclaim for
his sculptural experiments. His iconic “bottle-
top installations” have provoked international
attention with institutions queuing up to
acquire these monumental work for their art
space. Over time, his work, which is mostly
compromised of large external installations, has
been installed and exhibited in some of the
world’s most prestigious art institutions.

Lupita Nyong'o , Actress - Kenya
Lupita Nyong’o’s breakout role as Patsey – a
brutally abused plantation worker – in 12 Years
A Slave, has earned her an Oscar buzz for her
first feature film. She recently won the New
Hollywood Award at the annual Hollywod Film
Awards. Prior to 12 Years A Slave, she starred
in the ground-breaking MTV Base series Shuga ,
about “the lives of sexually active young
Kenyans [which] highlights the risks associated
with unprotected sex” and the impact of HIV/
Aids. Her role as Ayira catapulted Nyong’o to
the attention of audiences in Kenya, and across
Africa.

Omar Sy , Actor - Senegal
Omar Sy, half Senegalese and half Mauritian,
has been described as France's first black
superstar, making waves by starring in the

the Caesar Award, the French equivalent of an
Oscar, for the role. This has catapulted Sy to
global recognition and he will feature in the
upcoming X-Men - Days of Future Past movie.
2014 looks good for this young, gifted and
African talent.

Omotola Jalade Ekeinde , Actress - Nigeria
To her global fans, Nollywood actress Omotola
Jalade Ekeinde embodies true African beauty
beyond measure. But there is more to the
Nigerian sex bomb popular known as Omosexy.
The gorgeous actress and mother of four’s
meteoric rise in 2013 – a year which saw her
become the first African celebrity to reach 1
million likes on Facebook, and named as one of
the most influential people in the world by
Time magazine for their annual Time 100 list.
Her debut reality show, Omotola: The Real Me,
made headlines as the most popular TV series
across Africa. But that was not all! It fixated
her millions of fans, revealing fascinating
insights into one of Africa’s most recognised
faces. She is also increasingly becoming a social
activist in her own right, although a vocal critic
of the current African political dispensation.
Despite her popularity, she has no political
ambitions. Yet.

P Square , Musicians Nigeria
Peter and Paul Okoyo have defined and set a
benchmark for a new generation of Nigerian
and African artists to follow with their energetic
and infectious sound. According to the MTV
Africa Website, their music is “Afrocentric in
that it combines western and African rhythms
in creating a marvellous blend of R&B, Hip Hop
and Dancehall songs.” Hit after hit, the twin
brothers have become apt at giving audiences
songs that cut across age, gender and
geographical boundaries. They are arguably
Nigeria’s biggest musical export in the last few
years, and have collaborated with some of the
world’s biggest hip-hop artists, like Akon.

Trevor Noah , Comedian - South Africa

internationally popular comedian. Noah started
working on stage and television in South Africa,
but has since spread his wings, selling out tours
in Europe and the US.

Fatoumata Diawaraa , Musician - Mali
The multi-talented Malian singer-songwriter is
truly a non-conformist; she defied tradition and
escaped Mali as a teenager when under
pressure from her family to get married. Today,
Diawara is using her music to expose the
cultural prejudices faced by women across
Africa and the world. Her self-titled debut
album, Fatou was released to international
acclaim. She has toured Europe and the US and
earlier this year organised renowned musicians
across Mali to do a Peace song for the nation
during the days it was under threat from
militants.

NoViolet Bulawayo , Author - Zimbabwe

African writing in 2012, and this year has been
shortlisted for the coveted Man Booker Prize for
her novel We Need New Names. This makes her
the first black African woman and the first
Zimbabwean to be accorded this honour. With
accolades from far and wide for the beautifully
written We Need New Names , not only will she
continue to play an important role in African
writing, there is no doubt that a new star of
African female writing is truly born. The one-to-

Men’s Manual: 10 Lessons About Female climax

WELCOME TO NERDTWIST

According to the data collected in several
major researches, only 25% of women
climax during s*x with their partner. That
is while over 90% of men say they reach
climax. Thus, gentlemen, it is up to you to
ensure that your lady experiences this
highest level of s*xual satisfaction. These
tips might prove very handy in mastering
the art of pleasuring a woman.

10. Take her off the clock: Just as you’re
concerned about lasting longer, many women
are so self-conscious about taking too long
that they end up faking climax or deciding to
go without. The solution? Stop obsessing over
orgasms—yours and hers. A recent brain-
imaging study by Swedish researchers shows
that relaxation is the single most important
factor in bringing a woman to climax. So tell
her she has all night. The better you convey
not just tolerance for a lengthy buildup, but
also appreciation of her s*xual pleasure—
climax or not—the easier it will be for her to
unwind and explode. Oh, and studies show
that it takes 15 to 40 minutes for the average
woman to reach climax. Going somewhere?

9. Turn her on with your talent: The best
s*x starts long before the clothes come off.
Talent—more than rugged good looks or a
chiseled midsection—is a powerful
aphrodisiac, according to researches (less
surprisingly, poor hygiene and a messy home
are among women’s biggest turnoffs.)
Demonstrate your sense of humor, for
instance.

8. Speak up when she’s unclad: Women who
worry about the way they look down there
are less likely to climax easily during oral s*x,
according to researches. And a recent study
suggests that women who feel embarrassed
or ashamed about their bodies have less
s*xual experience and are less sexually
assertive.
Clearly, you have everything to gain with
flattery. If you love the way she looks unclad
—and you do, right?—share the news.

7. Always be tender on top: During foreplay,
gently brush the tops, bottoms, and sides of
her br**sts; these areas are actually more
sensitive than an unaroused areola and
bosom. Gradually move in toward her
bosoms, paying attention to how she
responds. As things heat up, the bosoms will
become flushed with blood, and the sensory
receptors will become primed for direct
stimulation. You’ll kickstart the bloodflow and
lubrication down below, starting her slow
buildup.

6. Learn her key strokes: One thing many
women love during manual stimulation: a
slow buildup. Here’s how to do it: Lie next to
her, lightly bracing the heel of one hand just
above her clitoris. Now run your ring and
middle fingers along the length of her outer
lips. Graze the skin at first, adding pressure
as the tension builds. Cup the area around
her clitoris with your palm to add indirect
stimulation—most women are too sensitive to
receive direct contact early on. As she
becomes aroused, brace your hand on her
pubic mound, the fleshy area that covers her
pubic bone, and tease the clitoris with the
middles and tips of your fingers as you move
your entire hand.

5. Change her angle: Explore various types
of penetration to figure out what turns her
on most. Your first stop: her G-spot, located
about 1 to 2 inches up the front wall of her
v**ina. This spongy region swells during
arousal. Try massaging the area slowly with
your fingers. A lot of women find it mind
blowing. Not her thing? Just move on.

4. Use moves that multitask: To maximize
her pleasure, increase the amount of contact
you’ll have with her most sensitive parts.
Here’s one move that will drive her wild: Ask
her to lie on her back, with her legs
stretched out. Now climb on top. Curl your
arms around her shoulders, supporting
yourself with your elbows and moving your
chest up by her chin. The goal is to bring the
base of your man-hood in contact with her
clitoris. Thrust slowly, focusing on up-and-
down movement instead of in-and-out
penetration. Another great trick: Move your
pubic mound in a circle or up and down
against her clitoris. You’ll get a break from
high-intensity stimulation, and she’ll receive
focused attention where it often matters
most.

3. Learn to sense her climax: Ease into oral
s*x—don’t just attack. First kiss her inner
thighs and her inner and outer lips, then
work your way inside using firm, broad
strokes with your tongue. Watch her hips for
a clue to the rhythm she likes. Listen to her
gasps and moans as you experiment with
different techniques. And watch for signs
she’s close to climaxing, such as a subtle
deepening in the color of her labia caused by
increased bloodflow. Or rest a hand on her
stomach and feel for the muscular
contractions that immediately precede her
climax.
2. Follow her lead: Once you reach your
point of no return, you’ll climax even if
you’re interrupted by a tuba-playing, thong-
clad Charly Boy. But your lady could hit the
“off” switch if you stop or change moves
midway to climax.They it when you try new
things, and it’s important to vary your
technique, but once you’ve found a winner,
stick with it until she crosses the finish line.

1. Let her finish first: Stalking the elusive
tandem climax is an admirable goal, but
many women respond better to a “ladies-
first” strategy. If you rub the clitoris for a long
time — during thrusting, for example — it
can become too sore or desensitized to
respond to manual or oral stimulation later.
So satisfy her before intercourse. Bonus: A
woman’s climax threshold drops after her
first one, so it’s often easier to bring her to
climax through penetration after she’s
already had one. How does that sound for an
encore?

Meet The Teenage Girl Who Has Transformed Herself Into A Living Cartoon Character

WELCOME TO NERDTWIST

With her enormous, glassy eyes, purple
hair and coquettish pose, this girl could
have stepped from the scene of a Japanese
anime film.

Anime fan Anastasiya Shpagina has
transformed herself into a living cartoon
character, complete with miniature waist,
vividly-coloured hair, and a cupid’s bow pout.
Originally from the Ukraine, the 19-year-old
takes style inspiration from the cartoons and
computer animations that have a huge
following in Japan, and has even adopted a
Japanese name – Fukkacumi.
Anime characters often feature huge eyes
and heads that are disproportionately large
in comparison to their body.
Shpagina, who is just 5ft2ins tall, is already
reported to have slimmed down to just over
six stone in her attempts to resemble a living
anime character, and is said to spend 30
minutes painstakingly applying her dramatic
make-up to each one of her eyes.
It is thought Shpagina may go even further in
her efforts to achieve her desired look, with
some reports claiming she intends to undergo
surgery on her eyes to make her resemble
her anime idols even more closely.
The teenager, who has over 10,000 fans on
Facebook, also posts videos on YouTube
demonstrating how she applies her make-up.
One clip, in which Shpagina reveals to fans
how she achieves her ‘flower fairy’ look, has
been watched more than 150,000 times
Shpagina is not the first young girl to take
style inspiration from the world of fantasy.
American Dakota Rose – or Kota Koti – has
been dubbed the ‘real-life Barbie’ thanks to
her doe-eyed stare and dainty proportions.
The teenager has amassed a global audience
by posting fashion and beauty tutorials on
YouTube.

BEFORE YOU CHEAT: 12 Things You Need To Remember

WELCOME TO NERDTWIST

The world is full of sexy women, and all of
us have felt the urge to stray, even just
for one night. Here’s why staying faithful
pays off, for your relationship and for your
s*x life.

Thing 1: When presented with the ideal
cheating scenario, that is, if a flying saucer
lands in the cornfield where you happen to
be standing and a female alien of sinus-
clearing hotness slithers down the ramp and
declares that she wants to come in peace a
minimum of four times in the next hour, and
you take her up on it because you know no
one will ever find out, no one must ever find
out.

Thing 2: Someone will always find out.

Thing 3: If you get caught, the law is on your
wife’s side. And you won’t lose just half of
your stuff. The other half, the golf clubs, the
surround sound, the Armani will be destroyed
in a spectacular driveway bonfire as every
angry woman you know toasts marshmallows
shaped like your testicles.

Thing 4: And if you’re not married? Your
longtime girl is bound by no law.

Thing 5: Or, to paraphrase Neil Simon, do to
yourself what you would otherwise do unto
others.

Thing 6: If a woman who knows you’re
spoken for comes on to you, it’s flattering.
It’s tempting. But remember that she’s doing
it to feed her own ego, not yours. She wants
to see how much power she holds over you.
And if you take her bait, she then knows she
must be superior in every way to your
sweetie. Deep down, she has nothing but
contempt for both your male weakness and
your mate’s existence. That should really piss
you off.

Thing 7: According to the Shari’ah, the laws
of ancient Islam, adulterers must be stoned
to death. Before you say, “Dude, cool,” we
mean with rocks. In these parts, that’s what
will happen to your good name. Friends you
made while you were a couple will disappear.
Friends you had as a single guy are long
gone. That leaves you with the hard drinkers.

Thing 8: You’re about to be with the kind of
woman who wants to be with the kind of
man who would cheat on a woman.

Thing 9: Channel all temptation toward the
girl you left at home. Example: When out for
a night with the boys, go to Hooters, not a
strip club or roadhouse. Hooters girls are the
unsung heroines of relationship therapy,
gorgeous, chatty, and so untouchable that
you always go home hungry. Your girl has no
idea her s*x life will improve tenfold when
you get there.

Thing 10: At the office party, pretend the
coworker who’s flirting with you has
gonorrhea.

Thing 11: If your ex calls, enjoy a pleasant 5-
minute conversation. Then tell her your wife’s
on the other line.

Thing 12: Treat your temptation as a cage
match. Defeating that treacherous organ
between your legs is the ultimate triumph of
man over nature. It’s you versus your man-
hood. He’s up for the challenge. Are you?

9 Tips To Get A Flat belly

WELCOME TO NERDTWIST

Why bother sucking it in? Especially when
there are better, and more effective ways to
shrink that tummy down.
Here are just some of our surprising expert
tips to help you shed inches and pounds,
banish the bloat, and feel even more
gorgeous. Hello, skinny jeans and summer
shorts!

Enjoy An Afternoon Snack
“You must eat a snack that contains protein
between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. Go for a protein
bar, a piece of low-fat cheese, or some
almonds with an organic apple.
No matter what, do not miss that snack. It’s
important because it boosts metabolism and
balances blood sugar. The lower you keep
your blood sugar, the lower you keep your
insulin, and insulin makes you store fat
around your middle. Eating every three to
four hours will keep your blood sugar even,
but many people tend to go five or six hours
between lunch and dinner without eating.”

Ball Exchange
“My No. 1 tip: Do the ball exchange three
times a week. Lay flat on your back with your
arms above your head and legs straight out.
Start with a stability ball above your head in
your hands. Bring the ball up above your
chest as you bring your legs up to meet the
ball and place it between your ankles. Bring
the ball back down to the floor with your legs
and straighten your arms back out over your
head.
Repeat the ball exchange 10 to 12 times,
remembering to keep your lower back
pressed into the floor as you do this move.”

Take Time To Chew
“Chewing is the No. 1 tip I give to prevent
bloating. Chew food until it is like applesauce
in your mouth. Digestion begins in the mouth,
and without proper chewing, food is not well-
digested. Better-digested food means less gas
and bloating.”

Focus More On Belly Balance
“I recommend the DCBA approach: Diet first,
Cardio second, Building muscle third, and Abs
exercises last. Follow it and you can safely
lose one to two pounds a week. Spend 60
minutes a day preparing healthier meals.
Spend 20 minutes a day three to five times
weekly doing cardio. Spend 15 minutes a day
three times a week strength training. Finally,
spend 5 minutes a day three times a week
doing abs exercises.”
Switch To Sea Salt
“The culprit making your tummy bloat? It
could be the salt in your diet. Use natural sea
salt or kosher salt, which is lower in sodium
teaspoon for teaspoon than traditional table
salts. And stay away from soy sauce: Even
low-sodium soy sauce is still high in sodium
and will cause practically instant bloating.
Instead, flavor your food with a little fresh
tomato salsa or a hint of cayenne pepper,
which has an added benefit of boosting
metabolism.”

Box It Out
“Add boxing to your cardio routine. When you
throw punches with weights or at a fast pace,
you’re working your core in a way that helps
to flatten your midsection. You must engage
your core to throw punches, and twisting
your torso works all the ab muscles.
Boxing also gives you a cardio workout that
burns extra calories. Add 16 minutes of
boxing three times a week to your regular
cardio routine (30 minutes at high intensity
four to five times a week), and you can lose
up to 2 inches from your waist in four weeks.
Simply throw punches while holding 1- or 2-
pound weights for 8 minutes, alternating
arms, then repeat without weights at a faster
pace for 8 more minutes.”
Enhance Your Other Body Parts
“Play up a different body part to draw
attention from your middle.
If it’s your legs, wear skirts or slim pants.
Shoulders—bare them even if just a bit with
a boatneck or sweetheart neckline. Cleavage?
Make sure your bra does its job. If your bra
rides up in the back, the bra has likely
stretched out. If it accentuates back flab or if
the space between the cups doesn’t lie flat,
go up a size.”

Stop Overeating
“Eating portion-controlled meals that include
whole-grain foods and monounsaturated fats
(MUFAs) throughout the day is the best way
to eat for a flat belly: People who eat whole
grains lose more abdominal fat. And making
most of the fats you eat MUFAs reduces ab
flab, research says.”
Get Familiar With The Best Belly Foods
Best breakfast: A slice of whole-wheat bread
with natural peanut butter and 1 cup of your
favorite berries.
Best lunch: Spinach salad with sliced avocado,
grilled firm tofu, and cherry tomatoes,
drizzled with a little olive oil and fresh lemon
juice.
Best dinner: Grilled salmon, a roasted sweet
potato, and sautéed asparagus with olive oil
and garlic.
Best snack: A cup of fat-free yogurt with 2
tablespoons sunflower seeds.
Laugh. And Laugh Some More.
“The best thing for your abs is laughing.
Every time you laugh it strengthens your abs.
There are even laughing yoga classes (Go to
Laughter Yoga to find a class near you). If
you start busting a gust, you are absolutely
toning your abs.”

Meet Real-Life Magneto, Claims to Use Telepathic Powers to Manipulate Metal

WELCOME TO NERDTWIST

Superpower or just super-sticky skin?
Miroslaw Magola, from Germany, claims he
can manipulate metal objects with his
telepathic powers. The 55-year-old says that
he began to master the ability of
manipulating objects with his mind after he
studied the phenomenon of psychic energy.
“I found out I could train myself to
manipulate lifeless objects as I studied for my
degree in the early ’90s,” Magola says. “I
have since spent years perfecting the
technique and exploring further into human
magnetism.”
Magola doesn’t want to stop at simply
making objects stick to his body as if they
were glued onto it, because he believes he
can use his powers for the benefit of
humankind. “I am determined to develop my
unique powers further in the future and I’m
currently working with telepathy and healing
to see how psychokinetic energy can be put
to a use that will benefit mankind.” This real-
life Magneto doesn’t claim he is one of a
kind. On the contrary, he says there are
many others who can control this kind of
power. “Magnetic people prove with mind
power they are capable of lifting objects of
different materials off the floor without
aid. This can be done with the head or palms
of the hands to hold objects vertically,
horizontally or in circular movements. Some
magnetic people are also capable of lifting
objects from the floor with the palm of a
gloved hand or even with talcum powder on
the skin.” As expected, people are either
plain skeptical or too inquisitive when it
comes to Magola’s powers, but his answer to
either of them is that what draws the line
between a person with real magnetic powers
and a fake one is the ability to defy the laws
of gravity.
Apart from helping the entire human race
with his powers, Miroslaw Magola wants to
win the One Million Dollar Paranormal
Challenge prize, which hasn’t been claimed
for half a century. The challenge, set by the
famous magician James Randi in 1964, can be
won by anyone who can demonstrate the
existence of, for example, past life
remembrance, faith-healing or telepathy.
Magola already has an idea of how to prove
his power to everyone. “I want to do it live
on TV and cannot wait to get a reaction from
an audience and prove to skeptics who claim
it is all a hoax.”
Magola is not the only one who is after the $1
million prize, as the James Randi Education
Foundation receives hundreds of claims every
year. The spokesperson of the Foundation
states that it “is committed to providing
reliable information about paranormal claims.
It both supports and conducts original
research into such claims. We offer a one
million dollar prize to anyone who can show,
under proper observing conditions, evidence
of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult
power or event. Unfortunately to date, no
one has passed the preliminary tests, but we
always welcome new challengers.”
Although the phenomenon of psychokinesis
has not been properly studied, it is believed
that people can control the physical world
surrounding them with the power of their
mind. Ellie Crystal, metaphysics expert,
agrees that “everyone has the potential to be
able to be telekinetic”.

Healthy Living: Why Do We Get Muscle Cramps?

WELCOME TO NERDTWIST

Cramps are essentially muscle contractions,
just like the contractions that make your
muscles move, but gone terribly, horribly,
painfully wrong.

When a muscle cramps, the contraction is
involuntary. “In order to have the
contraction, the nerve or a group of nerves
has to be activated,” says Allan Goldfarb,
Ph.D., an exercise physiologist and a
professor in the department of kinesiology at
the University of North Carolina, Greensboro.
“Some irritation or activation of that nerve
[causes it to] fire when you’re not trying to
make the muscle contract.” Under normal
conditions, after the muscle contracts, the
brain would signal for it to relax. During a
cramp, that relaxation signal doesn’t come in
so loud and clear, says Goldfarb. Instead,
there’s an “imbalance between the activators
versus the inhibitors,” he says, and the
contractions continue until you’ve got yourself
a full-blown cramp.
But why that imbalance exists to begin with
is still a bit of a mystery. One common theory
is that the cramping muscle is simply over-
tired. Such exertion could be the result of
holding a particular yoga pose for a lengthy
period of time or pumping out a whole bunch
of calf raises.
Many an experienced crampee will tell you
dehydration is the culprit. But science isn’t so
sure. Dehydration does certainly cause
imbalances in the body, particularly of fluids
and salt, says Goldfarb, but dehydration
affects the whole body, not one localized
muscle. “If it’s a systemic problem like
dehydration, then why doesn’t the whole
body cramp?” University of Cape Town sports
physician Martin Schwellnus posed to the
Globe and Mail.
It may be that dehydration and related
depletion of minerals like potassium,
magnesium and calcium may simply increase
your risk of cramping in the right (er, wrong?)
scenario, says Goldfarb, rather than being
the distinct cause of the cramp.
A number of medications — and not just
those that cause you to lose fluids — list
muscle cramps as a side effect, WebMD
reported. And we can’t totally rule out a
simple (yet poorly understood as of yet)
genetic predisposition, either, says Goldfarb.
Sometimes a cramp is brought on by a simple
external trigger the body would usually
control for, like a cool breeze over an
exposed leg while you sleep after a hot and
sweaty day at the beach, he says. “You set
up your system to have an imbalance,” says
Goldfarb, and then that gentle breeze or a
jog on the sand or jumping rope becomes
more problematic.
The good news is that most muscle cramps
can be gently massaged or stretched away in
a matter of minutes. And more often than
not, a cramp isn’t much to worry about, says
Goldfarb. The worst cramps may leave you
with tiny tears in the muscle that could take
a couple of days to heal. In rare cases a
more serious health condition could be
behind the pangs, according to the National
Institutes of Health, including a spinal cord
injury or a pinched nerve. If you find yourself
cramping regularly, it’s time to see a
physician, says Goldfarb.
Until there’s more definitive research, it
certainly can’t hurt to stay hydrated and keep
electrolytes balanced during longer, more
tiring workouts.

Everything You Know About Your Personal Hygiene Is Wrong

WELCOME TO NERDTWIST

Pretty much all aspects of your daily
routine tend to be disgusting and your
hygiene habits are way worse than you
think. Although this list doesn’t cover
absolutely every way your life is a fungal-
fueled fiasco, these are some of the more
pressing habits you should probably
address as soon as humanly possible.
1. Your antibacterial hand soap could be
messing with your hormonal chemistry.
Also, it’s not as effective as you think.
Antibacterial soaps contain a chemical called
triclosan that has been shown to alter
hormone levels when tested on animals.
Triclosan is in about 75 percent of
antibacterial soaps, and also can be found in
household cleaning products and some
toothpastes. Regardless of the potential
effects of triclosan, antibacterial soap is no
more effective than regular soap at
preventing illness.
2. Washing your clothes might get rid of
dirt, but it also has a good chance of
covering your laundry in E. coli and feces.
Research by microbiologists has shown that
doing just one load of underwear in the
washing machine can transmit 100 million E.
coli into the water, which can then transfer
over to the next load. To reduce the problem,
it is suggested you run the washer at 150
degrees and transfer laundry to the dryer as
quickly as possible, since bacteria multiply in
damp areas. None of this may help, however.
At any rate, we’re all wearing at little bit of
feces. It’s unavoidable.
3. You probably spend a lot of time getting
up close and personal with the dirtiest part
of your home.
Bathroom floors can be home to 2 million
bacteria per square inch, while more than
500,000 bacteria per square inch can live in
just the kitchen sink’s drain alone.
Researchers claim the kitchen sink is far less
sanitary than your toilet bowl, as those plates
and pots left to soak are breeding grounds
for bacteria like E. coli and salmonella.
4. Not everything you put into the toilet
stays there when you flush.
Flushing open toilets causes fecal matter to
fly into the air. And yep, your toothbrush is
covered in fecal germs, if you have a joined
WC and a bathroom. With the lid open, the
particles will float as far as 6 feet away so
make sure at the very least that top is down
and your toothbrush is out of range or
covered.
5. If you’ve been drying your hands with
air dryers, it might be time to switch back
to paper towels.
Epidemiologists, after conductingvarious
studies, have concluded that paper towels
are actually more hygienic than hand dryers
(while also using less energy to make than
what is needed to produce the air in the
dryer). When testing the effectiveness
between paper towels, and a warm air dryer,
researchers also found that paper towels are
the cleanest way to go. Much of the benefit
comes from how quickly paper towels get
your hands dry, as leaving them wet makes
them bacteria magnets. Paper towels have
been found to take about 15 seconds, while
air dryers take 45 seconds – too long,
considering people usually only spend 13 to
17 seconds drying off.
6. Don’t eat food that has been picked up
from the floor.
According to a recent study, 99 percent of
bacteria is transferred immediately when
food hits the floor. Some floors might be
more dangerous than others, as dry, hard
surfaces have a much harder time harboring
bacteria than wet or carpeted areas. The type
of food also matters. Those withhigher salt
and sugar contents seem to pick up germs
much more slowly.
7. You haven’t been scrubbing your belly
button as much as you’re about to.
Researchers found 2,368 unique species of
bacteria after swabbing just 60 belly buttons.
Of these, 1,458 may have been completely
new to science. In this same study, one
man’s belly button was found to be home to
bacteria previously known to exist only in the
soil of Japan. Scrub those navels…
8. Your daily shower and shampoo routine
is overkill.
Dermatologists say if you wash your hair
every day, you’re removing the sebum
(natural hair oils). Then the oil glands
compensate by producing more oil. They
recommend washing your hair only 2 or 3
times a week. If you do end up feeling the
need to still wash your hair every day, just
make sure it’s a gentle shampoo — and don’t
rinse and repeat!
9. You’re probably taking care of your
contacts all wrong.
Virtually nobody is taking proper care of their
lenses. It’s fairly easy to getbiofilm on the
contacts, which is a thin layer of bacteria.
Rinsing with tap water causes the lenses to
soak up the non-sterile water. Re-using
contact solution day to day will cause the
contacts to be contaminated with germs and
greatly increases the risk of eye infection.
Also, make sure to replace those cases often
and remove all residue liquid after rinsing,
because once again bacteria builds up on wet
surfaces.

How to Stop Attracting the Wrong Guy

WELCOME TO NERDTWIST

What man is attracted
to a woman who
thinks that she’s not
worth anything? You
need to have the
confidence and self-
esteem to project
dateability.
Everyone has positive qualities, even if they
don’t realize it. Okay, so you don’t have a job
or you don’t have a degree or you had a bad
relationship—that doesn’t mean that you
wouldn’t be an understanding,
compassionate, interesting and fun girlfriend.
Everyone deserves a chance to give their best
qualities to a partner, no matter their
circumstances. You need to remember that
you have a lot to offer and soon enough a
handsome man will too!
Step 2: Present a Positive Attitude
Now that you’ve figured out that you deserve
a happy relationship, you need to adjust your
attitude so you can attract one. If you keep
expecting to attract the wrong kind of guy,
you’re projecting low expectations and a
pessimistic attitude about love. So who do
you think will be attracted to that? A
pessimistic guy who isn’t looking to meet
ambitious expectations and who doesn’t want
a lot of boyfriend responsibilities. If you don’t
present a positive attitude, you’re not going
to catch the eye of a positive guy.
There’s a quick tip to help keep your attitude
positive, especially useful for those of you
who hate dating. Approach every situation as
though you’re going to to have a good time.
Arrive to every date confident that the man
on the other side of the table is going to be
the love of your life. Because one of these
times, he will be!
Step 3: Figure Yourself Out
If you’ve mastered the first two steps and
you still can’t seem to land a quality man,
there might be a problem with your process.
Do you know who you’re looking for? I’m not
looking for a list like “Tall, dark and
handsome.” Do you know what kind of
relationship you want? If you haven’t decided
what you’re looking for, how can you expect
to find someone who satisfies you?
You don’t have to settle for being a jerk-
magnet. Use these three steps to change
yourself instead of trying to change a dirtbag
into a quality boyfriend.

Infectious Diseases; Symptoms, Causes, Complications, Treatment And Prevention

NERDTWIST

Infectious diseases are
disorders caused by
organisms — such as
bacteria, viruses, fungi
or parasites. Many
organisms live in and
on our bodies. They’re normally harmless or
even helpful, but some organisms under
certain conditions may cause disease.
Some infectious diseases can be passed from
person to person. Some, however, are
transmitted via bites from insects or animals.
Others are acquired by ingesting
contaminated food or water or other
exposures in the environment.
Signs and symptoms vary, but often include
fever and chills. Mild complaints may respond
to home remedies, while some life-
threatening infections may require
hospitalization.
Many infectious diseases, such as measles
and chickenpox, can be prevented by
vaccines. Frequent and thorough hand-
washing also helps protect you from
infectious diseases.
Symptoms:
Each infectious disease has its own specific
signs and symptoms. General signs and
symptoms common to many infectious
diseases include:
Fever
Loss of appetite
Fatigue
Muscle aches
When to see a doctor
You should seek medical attention if you:
Have been bitten by an animal
Are having trouble breathing
Have been coughing for more than a week
Have severe headache with fever or seizures
with fever
Experience a rash or swelling
Have unexplained fever
Causes:
Infectious diseases can be caused by:
Bacteria. These one-cell organisms are
responsible for illnesses such as strep throat,
urinary tract infections and tuberculosis.
Viruses. Even smaller than bacteria, viruses
cause a multitude of diseases — ranging from
the common cold to AIDS.
Fungi. Many skin diseases, such as ringworm
and athlete’s foot, are caused by fungi. Other
types of fungi can infect your lungs or
nervous system.
Parasites. Malaria is caused by a tiny parasite
that is transmitted by a mosquito bite. Other
parasites may be transmitted to humans
from animal feces.
Complication:
Most infectious diseases have only minor
complications, but some infections — such as
pneumonia, AIDS or meningitis — can become
life-threatening. A few types of infections
have been linked to a long-term increased
risk of cancer:
Human papillomavirus is linked to cervical
cancer
Hepatitis B and C increase the risk of liver
cancer
Helicobacter pylori is linked to stomach
cancer
Treatments:
Knowing what type of germ is causing your
illness makes it easier for your doctor to
choose appropriate treatment.
Antibiotics
Antibiotics are grouped into “families” of
similar types. Bacteria also are put together
in groups of similar types, such as
streptococcus or E. coli. Certain types of
bacteria are especially susceptible to
particular classes of antibiotics. So treatment
can be targeted more precisely if your doctor
knows what type of bacteria you’re fighting.
Antibiotics are reserved for bacterial
infections, because these types of drugs have
no effect on illnesses caused by viruses. But
sometimes it’s difficult to tell which type of
germ is at work. For example, some types of
pneumonia are caused by viruses while
others are caused by bacteria.
The overuse of antibiotics has resulted in
several types of bacteria developing
resistance to one or more varieties of
antibiotics. This makes these bacteria much
more difficult to treat.
Antivirals
Drugs have been developed to treat some,
but not all, viruses. Examples include the
viruses that cause:
AIDS
Herpes
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis C
Influenza
Antifungals
Severe fungal infections can affect the lungs
or the mucous membranes of the mouth and
throat — most commonly in people who have
weakened immune systems. Antifungals are
the drugs of choice for these types of
infections.
Anti-parasitics
Some diseases, including malaria, are caused
by tiny parasites. While there are drugs to
treat these diseases, some varieties of
parasites have developed resistance to the
drugs.
Prevention:
Infectious agents can enter your body
through:
Skin contact or injuries
Inhalation of airborne germs
Ingestion of contaminated food or water
Tick or mosquito bites
s*xual contact
Follow these tips to decrease your risk of
infecting yourself or others:
Wash your hands. This is especially important
before and after preparing food, before
eating and after using the toilet.
Get vaccinated. Immunization can drastically
reduce your chances of contracting many
diseases. Make sure to keep your
recommended vaccinations, as well as your
children’s, up to date.
Stay home. Don’t go to work if you’re
vomiting, have diarrhea or are running a
fever. Don’t send your child to school if he or
she has these signs and symptoms, either.
Prepare food safely. Keep counters and other
kitchen surfaces clean when preparing meals.
In addition, promptly refrigerate leftovers —
don’t let cooked foods remain at room
temperature for extended periods of time.
Practice safe s*x. Use condoms if you or your
partner has a history of sexually transmitted
infections or high-risk behavior.
Don’t share personal items. Use your own
toothbrush, comb and razor. Avoid sharing
drinking glasses or dining utensils.
Travel wisely. Don’t fly when you’re ill. With
so many people confined to a small area, you
may infect other passengers on the plane.
And your trip won’t be comfortable, either. If
you’re traveling out of the country, talk to
your doctor about any special vaccinations
you may need.

7 Gentle Ways To Get A Man To Do Anything You Want

NERDTWIST

No more nagging!
Kill ‘em with
kindness, bring
backup, and more
foolproof ways to
get what you want.
How do you get a guy to give you what you
want? Here’s a hint: No more nagging. Avoid
fighting, complaining, shouting, tears and
pouting. Seriously; all it takes is some sweet
old-fashioned charm like only a woman could
give (we swear!). From buttering him up to
leaning in for a long kiss before you ask him
to clean the apartment, we’ve mastered the
skill of getting your guy to just about
anything.

1. Don’t Fear The Damsel In Distress Act
“Whenever I want a guy to do something, I
put the sweet on and act innocent. I’ll do just
about everything except bat my eyelashes —
but it works! Even though I’m not naïve, I’ll
act that way and put a little extra sugar on
everything I say and do toward him,” says
Erin.
2. Bring Backup
“My boyfriend loves surprises (even though
he’d never admit that), so I always come
prepared. If I want him to go out with me
and my girlfriends one night, or if I want him
to help me clean the apartment, I make sure
to stop and pick up something that he’ll
really love — or something that he’s been
hinting that he wants. There’s no arguments,
no huffing and puffing — just a little surprise
and then he’s in my pocket,” says Lisa,
“Seriously, it doesn’t get any easier than
that.”
3. Make Him Think The Idea Was His
“My mom let me in on a secret when my
husband and I first started dating. She said
that the best way to get through anything
was to make him think it was his idea. You’ve
got to be coy, but whenever I want Jed to do
something,” says Hannah, “I make sure he
thinks he came up with it — even if he knows
he didn’t. The fact that I’m conceding (and
letting him think he’s won) is the best way to
get through everything.”
4. Go Old School
“Call me crazy, but I just ask nicely — like,
really, really nicely. If my guy knows that it’s
important to me, I just tell him how
important it is and then I promise to make it
up to him afterward,” Tara says, “How could
a guy say no to that?”
5. Kill ‘Em With Kindness
“Oh,” says Morgan, “I make sure to butter
him up well before I ask him to do anything.
So it doesn’t look too obvious, I’ll start much
earlier in the day and just make him feel
really good about himself. Then, when he’s
all buttered up, I’ll let him know that we’re
going to spend the weekend with my parents!
How could a guy get pissed at a girl who’s
just spent the whole day giving him what he
wants?”
6. Lean In… For A Kiss
“There’s nothing sweeter than a long kiss
before asking for something,” Meagan jokes,
“It’s kind of my way of saying ‘Yes, I need
something from you, but I’m not gonna fight
you for it.’ I think a guy can appreciate that
— and uh, who doesn’t love a hot, steamy
kiss?”
7. Give One, Get One
“I go first,” Brittany says. “I’ll make dinner
for my husband and then he’ll take the lead
and clean up — without me having to nag. Or
I’ll buy him dinner and then the next time
we go out for a date, he picks up the check. I
think by seeing me take the initiative first,
he’s more likely to realize that he wants to
do something nice in return. It’s give one, get
one, but for relationships, ha!”

HOW TO GET A MAN TO PROPOSE TO YOU

NERDTWIST

Most men, who are willing to get married,
just want a happy and easy-going woman
who has good values. Want a marriage
proposal fast?
Then embrace these tips
1. You are not bossy
When a man first meets you, and thinks your
character trait is OK, he starts to feel he
should propose and walk down the aisle with
you. However, once he starts to feel like he is
in grammar school being told what to do by
his teacher, he will take a walk.
2. Don’t play games with his heart
Never ever think that being a game player
will help you get a man. Though he might be
intrigued by a hard-to-get lady in the
beginning, as soon as he decides that he is
interested in her, all he wants is an honest
straight-shooter.
3. Don’t want to change him
Some women claim to love a man ‘just the
way he is’ but little by little, they want to
change everything about him. First, it’s his
wardrobe, then, it’s his taste in music. Never
attempt to change his friends and his hobbies
either.
4. You don’t get jealous
A jealous woman is on edge always because
she is very distrusting. Just because you have
been hurt in the past, don’t be on guard for
anything that looks or feels wrong. When a
man first meets such a woman, he wants to
reassure her that he is nothing like that guy
in her past. However, once she accuses him
one too many times, he will have no choice
but to leave her because he can’t go through
his life being prosecuted for somebody else’s
crimes. So, learn to trust.
5. You are not clingy
As a woman, you must have something going
on in your own life so that you are not
always clinging to him. Don’t be too difficult
for a man to date, let alone marry. At first,
he is flattered that you are so in love with
him and wants to be around him always; but
very quickly, he feels overwhelmed and
suffocated by you.
6. You don’t see him as a father
Not all men like to be viewed as a father
figure. Initially, he might like how you look to
him for approval and the answer to all of
your questions, but soon, he realises that he
wants to be intimate with a real woman, not
someone who is stuck in her teen years trying
to get daddy to notice her.
7. Not tied to your mother’s apron strings
A man is comfortable with you when he
realises you don’t call on your mother always
to make a decision on your affair with him.
He gets scared the more when you cannot do
without getting her opinion on everything.
8. You don’t talk about others always
Most guys are turned off when you always
love to gossip and talk about other people.
Not only that, when you love to hear things
about other people as well. Initially, this
could entertain him but eventually, he begins
to wonder what you are saying when he is
not around.
9. You are yourself
You don’t have to be everyone else! A lady,
who is constantly talking about what other
people do and what they have, places a lot of
undue pressure on her man. Be yourself,
live your size per time and shun pretences.
10. You appreciate his mother/siblings
Never make negative comments on mothers-
in-law whenever you are around him. Let
him know his mother is as special to you just
as she is to him. His siblings? Show love to
even the nastiest of them all.

TWENTY TWO COMMON REASONS WHY WOMEN FAKE ORGASM IN BED

NERDTWIST

An orgasm is such a touchy
subject, when it comes to the
bedroom, there are so many
women who don't orgasm all the
time, and end up faking it more often.
Statistics vary widely, and no one can really tell
what percentage of women fake it or really
experience it. But if one thing's almost certain,
it's the unverified assumption that all women
have faked an orgasm at least once in their
lifetime!
Here are 22 common reasons why women fake
an orgasm.

1. The biggest reason. It's a fake pity orgasm.
You're not arousing her enough to bring her to
climax, and she's given up on achieving an
orgasm. But your woman doesn't want to hurt
your feelings because she cares about you, and
finds it easier to just fake it and end it.
2. She's not in the mood. You're horny and
turned on. But she's not. And she's having sex
only because you want it. She'd probably try to
warm up to the act, but if she doesn't feel like
it, she may just fake it.
3. She knows she's not going to orgasm. This
is psychological, and she probably knows she's
going to fake it even before you penetrate her.
As a guy, you may have experienced a few
occasions yourself when you start having sex
with your girl, and almost immediately know
that you may not last through the sex. And just
like that, sometimes your girl may know she's
not going to orgasm, and she just wants to be
done with it.
4. She's preoccupied. There's something on
her mind, and she's too distracted to enjoy sex.
She may make love to you, but her preoccupied
mind may just distract her from having a real
orgasm.
5. She knows you're trying hard. She's feeling
bad about it, but for some reason, she's just
not able to orgasm. And she doesn't want to
hurt your feelings or land a blow on your
confidence, so she lies to you just to see you
smile proudly.
6. You're boring! Well, let's face it, you may be
rather boring one night. And if she's getting
tired of the to-and-fro and is subduing her
yawns with her palms, it may just be easier to
fake it without being too mean.
7. You're waiting for her. You're almost about
to explode, and she can feel it. You move in and
out of her a few times, and you hold your
breath like you're trying hard to prevent a case
of premature ejaculation, before continuing
again. And your woman, being the sweetheart
that she is, may just fake it to save you from an
awkward spurt!
8. She's embarrassed. She's not able to orgasm
for some reason beyond her knowledge, and
she feels embarrassed by it. And her
embarrassment is making her feel worse and
preventing her from even enjoying the sex. It's
so much easier to just fake it because she
doesn't want you to think it's her fault.
9. Anger issues. She's angry with you, or is
giving you the silent treatment. And you teasing
her and seducing her into having sex isn't
helping, because she'll hate you more for it. But
if she doesn't want to confront the issue or sit
up talking about it, she may find it easier to just
do the deed instead.
10. She's stressed out. Your woman could have
had a long and tiring day, and as much as she
wants to enjoy sex, she may just be too tired to
enjoy it. And if she doesn't want to upset you or
make you feel bad about your performance, she
may just fake it.
11. She's in a hurry. You're initiating sex out of
the blue, and she's got better things to do.
Perhaps, she wants to sleep, watch her favorite
show or get out and do something. What's the
fastest way to wrap sex up? Yeah, fake it!
12. The pressure to make it awesome. It's a
special day and sex is just expected to be
awesome and mind blowing! It could be your
anniversary or a birthday, and if she doesn't
feel great that night, she might just pretend to
be completely turned on and aroused, just to
make sex more memorable for you.
13. She's had her share of fun. A woman
doesn't always have to orgasm to enjoy sex.
Sometimes, she may feel like she's had her
share of fun and may just want to end it
without reaching for an orgasm.
14. Boredom. She's bored with her sex life, and
the things you do just don't excite her anymore.
It's monotonous and boring, and rather than
confront it, she may just resign her mind to the
fact that sex isn't as exciting as it once was!
15. The guy takes too long. Your girl may just
want to finish up because she wants to sleep or
be done with it. And if you're trying really hard
to push her soft spots and make her orgasm,
she may just give in and fake an orgasm just to
end it and go back to sleep.
16. Uncomfortable positions. So you've read
about a new position that you want to try, or
you're suddenly feeling very horny while
watching the television. And you push her down
on a hard surface, contort her body and
penetrate her. She may try to enjoy it, but if it's
too uncomfortable to experience any pleasure
out of it, she may just want to end it with a
fake orgasm.
17. Her sex drive's down. Her sex drive may
have taken a nosedive because of too much
alcohol during the party, or a few pills that she's
been taking recently. And rather than make you
feel bad for not making her orgasm, she may
want to fake it and please you instead.
18. It's that time of the month. Most women
have varying sex drives at different times of the
month. Some women are more aroused easily
when they're ovulating, while a few other
women feel the friskiest a day or two before
their period. And at certain times of the month,
they may feel too mellow to experience a real,
wild orgasm no matter how hard a guy tries.
19. She's never really had an orgasm! Well,
there are many women out there who still don't
know what an orgasm is. They've had sex, and
they've programmed their mind to squeeze
their pelvis before a guy ejaculates. They just
don't know what it feels like to orgasm, and
they don't really care to fix it because they're
too used to it!
20. It's emotional. Girls are far more emotional
than visual when it comes to experiencing
sexual pleasure and orgasms. Perhaps, she just
hasn't reached that stage in the relationship
where she feels comfortable enough to
experience a real, knee buckling orgasm in your
arms.
21. She just wants more. This isn't a guy's fault
really. Maybe you're just dating a girl who's too
demanding. She needs a lot of foreplay and a
lot of sore sex before she actually feels an
orgasm. And since she knows it, she may fake it
once in a while just to make things easier for
you.
22. What did you do?! Did you do something
stupid in bed like stick your finger up her butt
when you know she hates it? Or did you tell her
that you want to have sex with her sister while
she watches while dirty talking to her?
Sometimes, a girl may just fake it and end it
because of something you said or did in bed
because she just doesn't want to continue
having sex anymore.

HOW TO GET A WOMAN TO AGREE TO MARRY YOU

NERDTWIST

There are many reasons why a woman will
accept a man’s proposal. On the other
hand, there are many reasons she could
walk out on you.
Do women call it quits after you have
invested all your feelings and all in the
relationship? Here are steps to make her say
‘yes’
You are not hasty
Until she sees you as someone she can end
up with as a partner, don’t be so eager to
start discussing moving in together or having
babies.

You don’t use bad words
Avoid using bad and derogatory words in the
presence of a lady.
You observe table manners
Do not to lick the plate, burp or avoid using
cutlery when eating. Also it is not very
decent to chew and talk at the same time.

You don’t come cheap
Cheap behaviour has nothing to do with your
inability to shower the lady with expensive
gifts. It is in the way you react to expenses.
Though it is general knowledge that times are
tough, worrying over every penny makes you
look cheap and a little mean.

You don’t talk about your ex
When you talk about your ex all the time, she
is bound to come to a conclusion that you are
not over her. Also, you may be over her but
talking about her shows that you are not
taking your girl friend for granted. No woman
likes competition. Visible or otherwise.

You are not mummy’s boy
Your mother definitely has an important role
to play in your life. But that does not mean
you have to consult her on every decision
you make. Once you have grown past the age
of 18, your mother should not be buying your
underwear or telling you who to date.
Moreover, get an apartment and be
independent of your parents!

You don’t brag always
It is a major turn off when you talk about
yourself always. Slow down and ask the lady
a question once in a while. Engage in
conversation that is not focused on your
achievements and challenges.

You are not artificial
Every woman loves a compliment, but if you
hand out compliments too often, it will be
obvious that you are just trying to get into
her good books. It sounds pretentious and
women don’t like it. Also, if you don’t agree
with what she is saying, you are free to say
so. Nodding in agreement to everything is a
huge turn-off.

You are not socially inept
Behave well when you are in public. Say
“please” and “thank you”.
Have moderate s*x expectations
Not every woman can be a tiger in bed. If
you are too demanding, she may run.

FIVE HABITS THAT MAY INCREASE YOUR RISK OF DIABETES

NERDTWIST

Ask yourself: Do any
of these six habits
sound familiar? If so,
you may be
contributing to your
risk of getting this
deadly disease. Not
all diseases can be prevented with proper
diet and exercise, but with diabetes, those
two go a long way.
1. Your Idea of Exercise is Reaching for the
Remote
If channel-flipping is your idea of working
out, then you are at a much greater risk of
getting diagnosed. People with sedentary
lifestyles are far more likely to obtain
diabetes. In fact several studies suggest a
strong correlation between watching TV,
weight gain, and the development of diabetes
— independent of diet and exercise.
2. Soda and Sugary Drinks Are Your Go-To
Refreshment
It has long been known that copious sugar
intake, along with family history, is one of the
largest contributors to developing diabetes.
Soda and other sugary drinks are the easiest
and fastest way to consume sugar. Even
worse is the perception that drinking calories
and sugar are somehow not as bad for you
as eating sweets. One of the easiest ways to
reduce your sugar intake is to replace your
current beverage of choice with water or
another low-sugar beverage.
3. It’s Been a While Since You’ve Seen Your
Feet
Now is the time for a staggering statistic:
Studies show that those diagnosed with type
2 diabetes are also diagnosed with
overweight or obesity in 80 to 90 percent of
the cases. You don’t need to have your Ph.D.
to see the incredible correlation between
diabetes and being overweight or obese. If
you are, it would strongly benefit you to start
a diet and exercise regimen before it’s too
late.
4. You Take the Elevator — to the Second
Floor
This one picks up where bad habit #3 leaves
off. One of the greatest risk factors of getting
diabetes is living a sedentary lifestyle. If you
are one of those who avoids taking the steps
at all costs – it will most likely cost you more
in the long run. In addition to practicing good
eating habits, it is extremely important to
work exercise into your daily routine. (Even if
you are limited by age or disability there is
most likely something you can do to remain
physically active.) Avoiding a sedentary
lifestyle is not only good for your social life,
but for your health!In my opinion, if a
patient of mine were to walk 20 minutes a
day for each pill he takes for diabetes, he’d
see in a few months that he no longer needs
to be taking as many pills. With all the
savings on prescriptions, that money could
easily be reallocated to your new wardrobe —
like, say, some great walking shoes!
5. When You Enter a Room, Your Gut Goes
First
Does size matter? Ahh, the age old question…
No, not that question! In the case of diabetes
size definitely matters. Your mid-section is
your ‘gauge’ to alert you that you may be
heading towards a diagnosis of diabetes.
Speak to your doctor if you are overweight
and have any additional risk factors outlined
in this article.

Potatoes are used as a primary ingredient in
many dishes. Do you know about green
potatoes? These green potatoes are green
due to high amount of chlorophyll .But food

The scientific researches say that green
potatoes have high amount of a poisonous
chemical called solanine that can lead to
nausea, headaches diarrhea, vomiting &
many other ailments, if it is consumed by
fault.


The green colour of a potato is mainly due to
high amount of chlorophyll, which is basically
not harmful for health. But in fact it is a
signal that the amount of solanine, which is
manufactured at that time when the
chlorophyll is also produced, has raised too.
A current report is presented by Alexander
Pavlista, who is a professor at the University
of Nebraska-Lincon. In the report it was told
that — a 100 pound man would have to
consume nearly 16 ounces of a totally green
potato to fell ill.


It was noticed that the green potatoes were
never send to the market for sale. And to
prevent the production of solanine, it is
always suggested that potatoes should be
stored in cool and dim light places, remove
the green areas before its consumption.
If the taste of the green potato — is found to
be bitter, then don’t consume it. This green
diet would prove to be harmful so just avoid
it.
