Over 10 ways to prevent stds!

What ways do you think you can prevent stds?
There are multiple ways this can be done.
You just have to be careful. Some stds
have long lasting effects. If you wait
too late, you could end up with killer effects
of a std. So it’s pointless to walk around
having sex and not getting tested. ANd please
don’t think because you are wearing condoms
you can sleep around and let people ride you
like the bus. The on- to- the- next attitude
gets people in trouble. Sex is scary. Why?
Because you can mistake an itch or burn for
something else when it’s a std. Or you can
have an itch or burn unrelated to a std.

1. It’s best not to have sex with celebrities because most of them
have alot of partners and rappers and singers have been known to
have stds. And like the groupies will not leave them, neither will
the std.

2. Do not share straws, unwashed utensils, cups, food, towels,
toothbrushes, razors or anything that touched your mouth, butt,
vagina, or penis.

3. Do not touch other people’s blood. Keep your cuts covered
with a bandaid and gloves.

4. Limit the number of partners you have. Based upon herpes
forum, they say it feels like they are being stabbed in the
crotch and it hurts them to walk. Fortunate for me, I have
never got this. I just wanted to hear their stories about
herpes because people keep talking about it.

5. Do a search online for the places with the most stds. Avoid
the areas or move. I keep hearing Atlanta has alot of std
recipients.

6. If one does have herpes sores, do not touch it and then
touch your eyes or other parts of your body. You can become
re infected.

7. Boxers and wrestlers come in contact with herpes so it’s best
not to have sex with them.

8. Get tested before and after each sexual partner. IF you are
in a relationship, get tested every 3-4 months.

9. Don’t smoke behind another smoker. get your own cigarettes.

10. Do not share needles with others.

11. Do not let people with cold sores kiss you, especially on
the mouth whether it’s there in the moment or not.

12. Do not have one night stands. You might be unlucky.\
You don’t know if the person is promiscuous or not.

13. If you have one consistent sexual partner, you won’t
need to try another one.

14. Don’t have sex with a prostitute or stripper or porn star.

15. I think it’s dangerous to have sex with athletes too.
They got groupies and fans. They’re famous.

16. Do not have sex with bisexual men or women. They are
high risk.

17. Wash your hands often.

18. Wash before and after sex.

19. Do not ignore vaginal or penis odors.

20. Don’t get tested too early. If you do, the results won’t be accurate. Ask

your doctor how many weeks after exposure to sex that you should get tested.

21. Make a list of stds you want to be tested for – HIV, Gential Herpes, Oral herpes

Syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, etc. Doctors typically ignore herpes test. Ask for one

anyway.

22. Don’t have sex with someone’s brother, cousin or other family member because

nine times out of 10, they might have a std. Somebody in somebody’s family

has an std. I mean have you ever seen a family where nobody has a std?

23. Don’t trade sex for money. You might be turning your body into

a business. It makes you MOST likely to develop any and all diseases.

24. Don’t have sex with a man who has 39 kids by multiple women.

25. Check and analyze your partner’s privates, butt, mouth,

inside their mouth, nose, eyes, everywhere. That’s your baby.

Check him or her out.

I know men and women can both think that with every new
sexual partner that it is a new good feeling. Some people
treat sex like a masterpiece. Some men have a bouncy
penis. Some people have different responses to sex.
Some people moan during intercourse. Some people
hum during oral sex. It depends on the person. But
sex is too serious to be giving it out freely.
Be picky in who you give your body to. Like Paperboy
said in his Ditty lyrics, his life is more than
his erection. If more people thought like that,
there wouldn’t be diseases. The end.

Part 2: Spice your food up by putting some foods with others and/or adding different toppings!

I like cheese and crackers. They are a little snack that I used to have over a relative’s house. And when I say cheese and crackers, I dont mean putting a sheet of American cheese on top of the crackers. I had cheese that you can squirt out of the can. I wish I could remember which brand of canned cheese I used to get, because they are not all equally good. One particular brand of canned cheese made me nearly gag.

But enough about what I don’t like.I enjoy apples with peanut butter. The peanut butter dominates and gives the apple some real flavor. A friend of mine suggested this idea.

Next, I love subway.Since I’ve been to subway a few days before posting this, I got a BLT sandwich without tomatoes . Yes.I know I was missing out on a very healthy and important vegetable.but I just did not want any. I asked them to include lettuoe,mayo, mustard, and jalapeno peppers.Jalapeno peppers made the sandwich spicy. It also helped to boost up its greatness.

And another thing-Syrup is not the only thing I use for pancakes, biscuits, and french toast. When ‘I’m not using syrup, I put jelly on those breads.

Oh, and I also love baked potatoes with chili.

This Key Lime Pie is better than cheesecake!

Cheesecake and key lime pie sort of resemble each other. Except key lime pie has a slight twist to it and is better tasting than cheesecake. The key lime pie I’m bragging about is made by the brand name Edwards. It comes as two servings in one small box, which allows you to indulge but not too much.The inner filling of the pie is centered on a brown cookie crust. This key lime pie is also made with the most genuine key west lime juice. Its loaded with flavor and good on the eyes. The box says you can have your key lime pie two ways. If you want a firm texture, serve the pie directly from the freezer. On the other hand, if you want a softer texture, place this pie in the refridgerator for 60-70 minutes and consume immediately. No matter what, this pie is so addictive. I found myself craving more of it.
Hope you’ll try it and enjoy!

 

Spice your food up by putting some foods with others and/or adding different toppings!

SubwayFlatizza Food is beautiful. It’s art, especially junk food. I have never seen any food be as beautiful as junk food. Junk food is also very tasty.   Sometimes you may have had a food multiple times a week because you love it.If cooked right, I could have nacho bell grande everyday.  Though sometimes no matter how much you love a food , it’s good to switch up. Taco bell food is great. But I really love homemade nacho bell grande. A friend makes nacho belle grande in a pot and has put doritos and some toppings on it like onion and ground turkey. We add sour cream and salsa. The lnacho belle grande sits in that huge container ready for family to serve themselves. It fits neat into the pot like a casserole. It is so so very good. Nacho grande, like in another post I wrote is great in a certain way. I enjoy my nacho bell grande with doritos, ground turkey, sour cream, onion, cheddar cheese, salsa (or ortega sauce) jalapeno peppers, and refried beans. No guacomole. I can’t stand the taste of guacomole.

Now that you’ve heard about a great way to have nacho bell grande, you will hear more about the ways other foods taste good.

My mother came up with the idea of chili on cornbread. That is delicious.

My friend who my mother went to school with likes to make tuna on whole wheat bread. Tuna is great that way, but it is also great with crackers. She gets the tuna in water. She adds the miracle whip, sweet relish, boiled eggs, and mustard.

Now enough about tuna. I enjoy spaghetti with parmesan cheese.

As for pizza though, it goes well with parmesan cheese too. I got to subway, get a flatizza. They come with pepperoni, salami, cheese, and pizza sauce. I ask them to add parmesan cheese. There is something special about the subways in South Carolina. The flatizzas in South Carolina have much better flatizzas than the few subways I’ve been to in Michigan. Also, when I go to subway, I get the 12 inch sub sandwiches because they are too good to just get the 6 inch sandwich. I order a sandwich like the BMT and get mayonnaise, mustard, barbecue sauce, lettuce, and pickles.

I enjoy chicken. Somebody else I know  enjoys chicken too. He adds breadcrumbs to chicken. This was new to me. Most of my life I had never heard of this combination. But then I’m assuming there will be lots of foods that go together that I’ve never tried.

I love pizza with jalapeno peppers on them.Ham and cheese goes great on croissants. Cheerios is the best with brown sugar in it. Pork Chops with gravy is a delight. French Fries with seasoned salt is oh so surperb.

Chili mac is good too. I had never heard of it until I got to college.  Also, I first tried a baked potato with bacon and sour cream,shredded cheese, and butter at college. I also like to switch up the baked potato and put bacon and cheddar cheese on it.

Does any of you have your favorite foods mixed with something else or some special toppings?

Taco Bell in Costa Rica offers nacho bell grande made out of doritos!

I am a big fan of nacho bell grande. I enjoy it from taco bell and homemade as well. I am so used to hearing people using tositos

chips for nacho supreme. That is so common. As good as it tastes with  tostitos chips, it tastes even better

with doritos. For doritos offers nacho bell grande more flavor.

Flavor is very important with food and cooking.

Therefore, I have great news! Taco Bell Costa Rica offers doritos locos

nachos, also known as nacho supreme using dorito chips.

Doritos locos nachos come two for the price of one after 10pm as

a late night special. Maybe one day they can offer a dorito nacho

supreme here in America in all 50 states. That would be creative

and bright.

Food Labels can trick buyers!

 

 

Have you ever wondered how many calories you were getting from eating a box of cookies, crackers, or whole package of candy? Sometimes you
eat before you think. You might eat the whole package of gummy bears and
realize your intake was 2.5 servings. I noticed that there was a Rock and Rye
soda at Family Dollar. I thought it was one serving. It was one dollar, but had

4 servings in that bottle . I was just thinking thank God I looked at the food label. So why is it that there is 4 servings in that size bottle? It might as well have been a quart or a gallon.

Have you  ever been duped (tricked) by the food label? It’s difficult to avoid based on the words of  the FDA and published by the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
Researchers  redesigned food labels and test them against standard ones in order
to figure out which health information is the most clear. Compare and contrast makes the
difference.

In one tweak, the nutritional information was divided into two columns when a                                        package contained more than a serving. The second gave nutritional details on                                 the complete package. In another tweak, packages were labeled with the latter info                                  only.

Then researchers put these labels on a bag of chips and a frozen meal. These are foods                            that can be eating in one sitting, even though they have over 1 serving. Those who                                   participated considered a food “healthy if they only saw nutritional info on a single                                serving, which is what’s currently on labels.

Even though we as people might not be too good at decoding food labels, over 70                                     percent of American adults do read food labels. Well, at least you tried. If you were
tricked, try again.

Ingredients It’s best to read the ingredients in the food packages you consume. There were at                  many sneaky names for sugar.  PHD holder and registered dietitian Susan Shapiro                                 said “The ingredients are listed from highest, or biggest component of the product –                          to the smallest”. Some of those sneaky names for sugar are sucrose, evaporated cane  juice,         agave nectar, fruit juice concentrate, 100% fruit juice, high fructose corn syrup,  The oses (sucrose, glucose, galactose, maltose, dextrose, fructose, and lactose, blackstrap molasses, organic brown rice syrup, and barle malt, treacle, diatase, diastatic malt, and panocha. The list of sneaky sugar names comes from the following:

http://www.prevention.com/food/healthy-eating-tips/agave-glucose-and-other-names-sugar/10-and-so-many-more

Conversion:  If you thought math stopped in college, guess again. It may not be on the box, but
28 grams equals one ounce. For a serving of cheese, for example, is a single ounce–
which is the same as the end of your pointer finger.

Units- Watch out for the units on your food label. Shapiro says “They might not be consistent”. Know how much a gram, mililiter, or miligram is to prevent yourself from
overdoing it on ingredients and portions too. An adult should be getting at the most,6
grams of salt each day. Now you know why we take these classes in math and science?

Let’s get or keep that great figure, wherever you are at this point!

Now that you know this information, what are you going to do about it? What will you do with it?It’s all up to you.  But hopefully you’ll do something for the betterment of food consumption. After all, the greatest things we need to do ourselves require knowledge-driving, cooking, doing hair, eating,etc. Have a great day people!

 

10 top foods for the most desirable hair!

Alicia Keys.JPG

Picture By The Associated Press

 

What is a woman’s most loved part of her body? Her hair!  I mean

it is the most noticeable thing about women specifically and men

too. So let’s take care of it. The way you take care of your hair

starts with what you put on the inside of you. Having the hair

of your dreams is something to celebrate everyday of your life.

Every strand and all that thickness and great length is worth

celebrating. And since it’s so valuable, go ahead and eat

these foods so you can see healthy hair results.

Yes, go  grab up some or all of these foods and put it

to work. Eat them.

 

1. Salmon- It’s loaded with protein and vitamin D and consists

of omega 3 fatty acids. Only 3% of the hair shaft is made of

these fatty actids. Omega 3’s are also in cell membranes in the

skin of your scalp and in the natural oils that keep both your

scalp and hair hydrated.

Note: If salmon is on your banned list, you can get those fatty acids

from herring, sardines, trout, and mackerel. Avocado, pumpkin

seeds, and walnuts can do the same job.

 

Walnuts- They are the only type of nuts that have a great

amount of omega 3 fatty acids. They also come loaded with

vitamin E and biotin. THis helps protect cells from DNA

damage. This comes to great use for when your hair is out

in the sun. Walnuts have copper to keep your natural

hair color rich and fresh.

Note:

You can use walnut oil for your salad dressing or stir fry

instead of canola or safflower.

 

3. Oysters have alot of zinc in them. Not getting enough

of zinc can cause hair loss as well as dry flaky scalp.

THree ounces has 493% of your daily value. Zinc is

found in fortified cereals and whole grain breads. Hair

is 97% protein.

Note: Nuts, beef, eggs give you the zinc you need.

 

4. Sweet potatoes- they are a wonderful source of antioxidant

beta carotene, which your body turns into vitamin A.

It, in addition, helps protect and make the oils that sustain

the scalp. If you are low on vitamin a, you may have

dandruff.

 

5. Eggs- They have zinc, selenium, sulfur, and iron. Iron is

very important  since it carries oxygen to the hair follicles.

Too little iron causes hair loss, especially in women.

Note: Chicken, fish, pork, and beef can boost your iron count.

 

6. SPinach- The iron, beta carotene, folate, and vitamin c in

spinach help keep hair follicles healthy and scalp oils in

motion back and forth.

Note:Dark leafy vegetables like broccoli, kale, and Swiss chard are good to try.

7. Lentils- These legumes have protein, iron, zinc, and biotin. This makes it versatile for vegetarian, vegans, and meat eaters.

Note: Toss soybeans and kidney beans into a soup or salad and chow down.

8. Greek yogurt – It’s low in fat. It is high in vitamin B5, which
is hair-friendly protein, and vitamin D.

Note: Cottage cheese, low fat cheese, and skim milk are awesome substitutes.

9. Blueberries-It is necessary for circulation to the scalp and

supports the tiny blood vessels that feed the follicles.

Note: Kiwis, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and strawberries are

great too.

 

10. Poultry- It has hair healthy zinc, iron, and B vitamins to keep

strands strong. Since hair is close to being all protein,” foods

rich in protein are literally giving you the building blocks

for hair,” says Drayer.

 

After all, isn’t life more exciting when your hair is pretty?

You’ll lose more weight doing Water aerobics than regular aerobics! Plus additional benefits!

4/365 Light weight!

I love water. No one can duck and dive in it like Rihanna
in her video Umbrella. I love swimming, how it feels and
how elegant it looks.

Water aerobics is a great type of aerobic work out.
This is one way for you peeps to stay fit and healthy
without sweating your core out. It’s also a way to
avoid stressing your body.

Dig this, water reduces the effect that gravity has
on your body. Therefore, stretching under water
will cause little strain on your joints and give you
greater range of motion than on land.

Water gives greater resistance to your movements
than air does. Thus, you burn more calories when
doing aerobics in water. This type of resistance
will raise your muscular endurance and cardiovascular
fitness.

The buoyancy provided by water will give you better
balance, posture, and flexibility, and thus lessening
your capability for injury. Studies show that waist
deep water supports 50% of your weight and
chest deep water even more at 90% of body weight.
THis is what makes water aerobics very
beneficial for people with arthritis, osteoporosis,
joint problems or back pain.

Water has a massaging effect on your muscles. This
gives water aerobics the power to let our your tension
and stress in your muscles. So if you want to calm
and soothe that body of yours, you can always
give water aerobics a try.

Water aerobics blends body movements and dance
routines. You can put music to it. COme on
and come up people! Jazz it up!

Even if you a pregnant woman, you can benefit
from water aerobics low impact routine. This will
comfort you in your labor period and delivery. It will
help ya’ll recover and lose those additional pounds
gained during pregnancy very fast. Yet, like
any excercise, it’s always best to ask your
doctor if it’s okay to do.

Now we all know, there’s kicking, punching
and dancing on air, but how many people actually
have or want to try water aerobics? If so get
ready for a beautiful fireworks type of display.
It sounds like much fun, wanna try?
