People who are prone to taking a lot of stress, either as an inevitable result of their hectic lifestyles or a force of habit, tend to age more rapidly.

Moreover, the premature appearance of wrinkles is largely attributed to the unhealthy lifestyles associated with chronic stress. Therefore, you should avoid stress as much as possible to reduce and minimize the appearance of forehead wrinkles.
Also, Inadequate water intake can leave your skin parched and lackluster. If your skin does not get the hydration it needs, it will turn dry, tight, dull, and flaky. The drier your skin, the more prone it is to wrinkling.

Meanwhile most prior research that has suggested a link between a long work week and an increased risk of diabetes focused on men. Interestingly, this recent research seems to find the opposite effect in males: the longer the work week, the lower the incidence of diabetes. For women who work 45 hours per week or more, though, their risk was considerably higher.
The authors of the new study, which was published in BMJ Open Diabetes Research and Care, looked at data from the Canadian Community Health survey, which included respondents aged 35–74. They also looked at the Ontario Health Insurance Plan database for physician services, as well as the Canadian Institute for Health Information Discharge Abstract Database for hospital admissions.

If you're trying to lose weight, you've probably jumped on the low-carb diet bandwagon at one point or another.

Surprisingly, the mice on high-carbohydrate diets did not gain weight at all.
Conclusion
According to the researchers, eating fat is the only thing that made mice gain weight.

2. For those who also like to gulp down canned drinks without running a careful check, there could also be a grim picture as using a tissue paper to clean the opening is not enough to safeguard against the virus. For it to be safe for drinking, there would be need to use soap and water to clean it.
3. Do not drink directly from a canned drink. It can be dangerous because you don’t know whether rodents have urinated on them in the process of storage. It is important that we use soap and water to clean the openings of those things before they are consume by people.
4. Our food can get contaminated and if you eat without cooking, the possibility of getting infected is high. Once you cook the food items, you destroy the virus, so people smoking garri and all those kind of things are at risk. If the rodents urinate on the fruits and you pick up banana or carrot and you just start chewing it without washing, that could be dangerous, so it boils down to hygiene and cleanliness.

Chapter 16: Control your child weight: Obese kids more likely to develop a severe hip disorder
A UK study suggested that Kids who are obese may be more likely to develop a severe hip disorder than children who are not overweight.
The disorder, which is known as slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), is one of the most common hip problems in children and adolescents. It can lead the ball at the head of the thigh bone to slip backward and often requires surgery to repair. The condition has long been linked to obesity, which can put extra pressure on bones. However, research to date hasn’t offered decisive evidence that obesity directly causes SCFE.
Children with severe obesity were almost six times more likely to develop SCFE and youth who were less obese were almost four times more likely to develop SCFE, when compared to kids who were a normal weight .
“Some doctors, in particular orthopedic surgeons, have long believed that SCFE is linked to childhood obesity, though this has been very difficult to prove,” said lead study author Daniel Perry of the University of Liverpool in the UK.
“This is the first (of hopefully several studies) that will confirm that obesity is bad for children - in this case bad because it increases the risk of a rare but ‘nasty’ orthopedic condition which could be disabling. Children who are not overweight tend to be more active, fitter and healthier - and this can only be good for you.” said Eastwood.

Chapter 23: Body Odour? 4 Things You Need To Do To Reduce It
Body odour is irritating and offensive. If you have body odour people will try to avoid moving closer to you or maybe you might be the one avoiding people and loss your self confidence in the process. However, there are certain things a person with body odour can do to reduce the odour to the barest minimum.
The first thing is to maintain body cleanliness. Shower at least once a day to wash away sweat and get rid of bacteria on your skin. Wash thoroughly, especially the areas where you tend to sweat particularly your underarms (armpits) and groin. Use antibacterial soap and towel-dry yourself completely, paying close attention to any areas where you sweat a lot.
Keep your armpits clean. Wash them regularly using anti-bacterial soap, and the number of bacteria will be kept low, resulting in less body odour. Armpit hair slows down the evaporation of sweat, giving the bacteria more time to break it down into smelly substances. So it’s a good idea to shave your armpits regularly. If your skin is dry, it’s harder for bacteria that cause body odour to breed. You may use antiperspirants on your underarms. Also use deodorant twice a day — once in the morning and once in the evening.
Keep your clothes clean and change clothes often when you’re sweating heavily. Fresh clothes help keep body odour down. Change your socks as well, especially if you tend to have foot odour. Use deodorant powders in your shoes and go barefoot when possible.
Also, what you eat affects your body odour. Foods that tend to make you sweat more, such as hot peppers or other spicy foods, might also lead to body odour. The aroma of foods like onions or garlic can be carried in your sweat. Drinks containing caffeine or alcohol may also make you sweat more.
