5 Health Benefits Of Sleeping Without Clothes
~1.8 mins read

In the case of dressing or not dressing at bedtime, many studies tell us that less is more. Sleeping naked boasts many science-backed advantages that can help you get a better night’s sleep and positively impact your overall health.


There are several health benefits many are unaware of. Read on to learn about the different health benefits.


 


1. Fall Asleep Faster and Sleep Deeper


Creating a sleep environment within the ideal temperature range can have an immense impact on the quality of your sleep. The best temperature for sleep is between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit. Sleeping nude can help decrease your body’s temperature and help you achieve higher quality sleep.


 


2. Decrease Stress and Stabilize Your Mood


Since sleeping nude can help lower your body temperature and produce higher quality sleep, dozing off in the buff can help decrease stress too. 


3. Prevent Weight Gain and Boost Metabolism


 Stripping down before bed can help you maintain or fix your sleeping schedule, and achieve the full recommended seven to nine hours associated with a healthier weight.


 4. Support Female Reproductive Health


Wearing underwear that’s too tight can increase a woman’s risk of developing a yeast infection so many gynecologists will recommend going commando as a preventative measure. If you’re not the most comfortable going without undergarments to bed, loose-fitting cotton underwear is another great option.


 


5. Support Male Reproductive Health


Tight-fitting underwear creates higher temperatures that can damage sperm. Wearing no underwear to bed is recommended to maintain an ideal temperature but loose-fitting boxers are a close second.

Why Is It Called Blue Film?
~1.2 mins read
Some of us saw it in school, some in college, while the rest of us took a little longer. But it is safe to say that we've all seen porn, at least once. 

Given how big a deal sex is in our country, porn obviously has a discreet undertone to it as well. It is not openly accepted in our society and so the subtler term that we have been using for it is 'blue film'.
Well, Quora has some answers. 

Earlier, when there were B-grade or porn movies playing at local theatres, posters were printed in blue & white to not attract attention like normal movie posters do. In fact, this is still practiced at some places. 

Another story says that when porn movie shoots were initiated, they weren't easy to make. Budget was an issue. So movie makers and producers had to resort to cheaper ways to develop the black & white reel into a coloured one. And it is because of this that they had to compromise the quality of the film and give it a blueish tint, instead of a proper colour.

It was also likely that producers bought damaged movie reels at cheap prices, which would also result in a similar blue tint indicating the low quality. Although, now you can watch it in HD, the name 'blue film' stuck.

There could be one more reason - one that is quite popular for the origin of the term. It's based on how video stores used to differentiate between normal movies and erotic/adult movies. The stores would actually sell VCR cassettes in blue packs as opposed to paper bags or normal polythene packets, thus denoting these videos with the colour blue.

Why Do Dogs Eat Poop?
~2.8 mins read
If you’ve noticed your dog eating poop, you wonder if there’s a nutritional deficiency or mental problem causing this behavior. You may find it upsetting, but it may just be canine nature. So many dogs eat feces that veterinarians consider stool eating normal.

The tendency of some dogs to eat their own poop or that of other animals has a scientific name: canine conspecific coprophagy. There’s no known connection between diet and this condition.

If eating poop is a new habit for your dog, there may be something else going on, but more often than not, it’s just an unpleasant habit.

Your dog isn’t the only one doing it. While there aren’t many studies on this subject, one found that one in six dogs regularly ate poop. 

Mother dogs may do it to clean up. After having a litter, mothers will often eat the poop of their puppies to keep the den clean. This is normal behavior, and not every mother stops when her puppies are weaned.


Greedy eaters are more likely to eat poop. Dogs who are food driven and steal food are more likely to have this behavior. Dogs evolved by scavenging, so it may be an instinct to make sure they get enough to eat. 

It may be an attempt to get attention. If your dog is looking for extra attention and they know you usually react strongly when you catch them eating poop, the behavior may be a way to get noticed. Poop-eating may be similar to other negative attention-seeking behaviors like nipping, jumping, or stealing things to start a chase.

If your dog is eating its own poop, the stool may consist of undigested food.That’s an indication of a potential medical issue. 

Your dog may not feel well. Coprophagia, especially if it’s a new behavior, can happen when something is medically wrong with your dog. It can be a sign of diseases of the intestinal tract, the liver, or brain. You may also notice sudden weight loss, vomiting, or other behavior changes. Visit your veterinarian to rule out intestinal parasites, diabetes, thyroid conditions, or other diseases. 

It could be a sign of anxiety. Another potential cause of canine stool-eating could be that your dog is nervous. It may happen if the animal has been punished for soiling in the house. If the dog is caged, goes to the bathroom, and eats the poop, it may be a behavior to avoid anxiety.


Tips to Train Your Dog to Stop Eating Poop

First, you should check that there are no underlying medical problems causing the behavior. If your veterinarian tells you it’s a behavioral issue, there are some ways you can train your dog to stop.

Limit access to poop. Dogs that want to eat poop prefer fresh feces, so pick up waste immediately from your yard. If you have cats, this also means cleaning out the litter box right after your cat goes and making sure to take put the waste somewhere your dog can’t access.

Provide a toy for potty breaks. If your dog is looking for things to eat in the yard when you let them out to do their business, bring along a toy or a treat for distraction. Don’t leave them alone with time to search.

Stay positive in training. Work with positive reinforcement and treats to teach commands like “leave it.” It can take time to break a bad habit, so be patient.

Try dietary supplements. If you’ve recently cut your dog’s calories, you may want to switch to a high-fiber formula. Adding enzyme supplements can make the taste of their own poop less appealing. Some owners have found success in breaking the habit by adding papaya, cottage cheese, or crushed pineapple to dog food.

7 Reasons Why You Are Sweating A Lot
~4.8 mins read
Do a bit of investigation (where do you sweat from? When does it tend to occur? What emotional or physical events happen beforehand? What other symptoms accompany it?) and keep those facts in mind while we explore some reasons why you might be extremely sweaty on the regular. Detective hats on, hand-towels at the ready.

1. Primary Focal Hyperhidrosis

This is one of the most common causes of excessive sweating, according to Mayo Clinic. The "focal" in the name refers to the focal points of the body where sweat shows up naturally, like the underarms, palms and face. It generally manifests as a symmetrical excess of sweat on the body (for instance, both palms, both soles of the feet, or both sides of the groin will produce too much perspiration). And don't worry — it's not a sign of nervousness or of serious illness.

So why does it happen? Unfortunately, science isn't entirely sure. People who suffer from it don't have more sweat glands, larger ones, or anything else in their sweat-making bits that could cause this malfunction. The current theory is that it's a genetically transferred problem in the nervous system that produces a sweat reaction when it's not actually needed. (It's known as idiopathic, indicating that we don't actually know how it happens yet.) The most common manifestation is armpits: one study found that 51% of people with primary hyperhidrosis in America had it under their arms. Fortunately, there are treatments available for the condition, including the use of very low electrical pulses, medications or even injectable neurotoxins to paralyze sweat glands. However, many people with PFH don't seek help due of embarrassment. But there's no need to be: if you're suffering from PFH and really bothered by it, know that there's help available.

2. Pregnancy

Your glow may at least partially be due to a thin sheen of sweat that covers you at all times. "It's common for pregnant women to notice an increase in how much they sweat," Dr. Dietz tells Bustle. "That's because during pregnancy, women can experience hormone changes, increased blood flow, and higher metabolism levels, which all result in a little bit more sweat than usual." It's all perfectly normal, though possibly a little unexpected. But know that if you end up constantly mopping your brow during your baby shower, not to worry.

3. Thyroid Issues

This is another potential cause of excess sweat among pregnant women: pregnancy kicks the thyroids of some women into overactivity, which is associated with high sweat levels. It can do the same to the non-pregnant too, though. Hyperthyroidism — the medical term for an overactive thyroid — means that the thyroid gland, which plays a large role in manipulating your body's metabolic rate, goes into overdrive, producing excess levels of the metabolic hormones thyroxine (T4) and tri-iodothyronine (T3). Your body's reaction to these hormone levels will be to speed up in basically all senses of the word: all your systems will be driven to work incredibly hard.

Sweating won't be the sole manifestation of this, though; people with hyperthyroidism often also find the condition is accompanied by rapid weight loss, jitteriness, tremors, fatigue and a quick heartbeat, as your body tries to cope with the hormonal "push." It may also be accompanied by an enlarged thyroid, or a goiter, on your neck. If you feel like you're experiencing any of these symptoms, book a doctor's appointment ASAP.

4. Perimenopause

Perimenopause — the period of time just before the female body enters menopause and stops having a menstrual cycle — causes sweating for much the same reason as pregnancy: the body reacts to shifting hormonal levels. The hot flashes of perimenopause, however, are more widely known than the pregnancy sopping-wet-underarms. Shifts in estrogen have a direct effect on the body's temperature control settings, and some people may be more prone to flushed skin and the need to cool core body temperature, though science is not entirely sure why.

5. Diabetes

Heathline details three ways in which people with diabetes may experience excess sweating: one in response to low blood sugar, one in relation to food, and one solely occurring at night. The first is such an established symptom that diabetics are warned to check for sweat as a marker that their blood sugar has started to fall to unacceptable levels; the nervous system's trigger for sweating is signaled by low blood sugar levels. The second is rarer, and is called "gustatory sweating" because of its exclusive relationship with food; it's associated with serious diabetics who may have suffered nerve damage, happens exclusively around food, and is confined to the head and neck.

The third is the dreaded "night sweats," or nocturnal hyperhidrosis. And it's not purely related to diabetes; the National Health Service also ties night sweats to sleep apnea, infections or hormone problems, amongst other possibilities. But it's definitely an issue for diabetics, and tends to be a signal of low blood sugar due to the body's insulin regulation at night.

6. Medication Sweats

If you're on certain meds, they may be at the root of your sweating mystery. There's a class of medications known as diaphoretics, meaning that they cause excessive sweating in some people (and you may just be one of those lucky ones). The International Hyperhydrosis Society has a comprehensive list of these drugs, and many aren't associated with sweating in popular thinking — which is why it's important to carefully check possible side effects in medication advice. The list includes some pain medications, blood pressure and cardiovascular drugs, chemotherapy, hormonal treatments, anything targeting the endocrine system, some antibiotics, and many more; check the list out to see if there's a culprit in your medicine cabinet.

7. Anxiety

When you get anxious, you sweat; the body's panic response is installed to produce excess perspiration in the event that something threatens us. The experts at the Anxiety Centre have a comprehensive explanation as to why:

"Stress hormones ready the body for immediate action by changing how the body functions when danger is perceived. Part of this change includes increasing perspiration so the body’s water can be eliminated through the skin rather than through the kidneys — so that you don’t have to stop to urinate in the midst of defending yourself from or escaping harm. Another part of the stress response’s actions cause an increase in respiration and heart rate to shunt blood to the parts more necessary for emergency action and away from those that aren’t. This increased respiration and shunting action causes the body's temperature to increase. A second reason for increased perspiration is to help cool the body."

People who live with anxiety are therefore far more likely to sweat as a direct consequence of anxiety attacks, PTSD triggers ,and general anxiety. If you feel your anxiety has become dangerous or is keeping you from fully engaging with life, counseling can definitely help.

"Heaven Is My Home"- Whitemoney Sings After Queen Tried To Kiss Him
~0.7 mins read
After the King-sized eviction that took place yesterday which saw Boma, Tega, Michael and Peace leave the big brother house, White Money and Queen were spotted trying to lock lips together.

Both housemates have been very close in the house and have been seen on different occasions together.

Yesterday, it seemed they wanted to take their friendship to a new level as they were seen trying to lock lips.

I'm a video now making rounds on social media, Queen, the former beauty pageant was seen sitting on White Money's lap as their bodies were knitted together. White Money held her derriere and Queen's head pressed against his and they were having a conversation and were about to lock lips.

White Money had self-control and wasn't comfortable as he asked Queen to sit properly but she refused to do so. He stylishly left her and was heard singing, "Heaven is my home" after he escaped the temptation.
