If you place a pack of money and bananas before a monkey it will choose the bananas because it doesn’t know that the money can buy enough bananas to feed it for a long time. In the same vein, if you place health and wealth before people today, many will choose money but all the money in this world cannot buy sound health. A single ailment can consume all the savings of a man and he may still not survive. Health with wealth is an asset and an ounce of prevention will always produce a pound of cure. In the world today, ninety-five percent (95%) of people who pass on do so by illnesses, and only five percent (5%) are unalived naturally. People need to remember that destiny is largely dependent on decisions and that health is wealth.

The importance of a manufacturer’s manual.
Taking the pains to understand the instructions in a manufacturer’s manual before operating a device or an equipment could save money, time or even life. Every device or equipment is accompanied by the manufacturer’s manual. The manufacturer has a picture of the finished product in his mind before starting the manufacturing process. Therefore the use to which a product is put is determined by the manufacturer, not by the end-user. A product could be damaged or become harmful to an operator when the manufacturer’s instructions on how to operate it are not carefully followed. A buyer could also forfeit the warranty on the product. Abuse is inevitable when the purpose of a thing is not known. For example, no matter how much a beautifully designed and expensive ballpen resembles a spatula, it cannot spatulate like a cheap wooden spatula because their functions are differently determined by their manufacturer.
On average, a mobile phone is designed to perform the following eight functions- voice communication, exchanging e-mails, internet browsing, PDA(personal digital assistance), SMS (short message service for text messaging), digital camera, watching the video and listening to music. But today, due to limited understanding of the instructions in manufacturers’ manuals multiplied millions of mobile phone users across the globe limit the use of their handsets to voice communication, SMS (short message service for text messaging) and listening to music. In the same tone, disregarding the manufacturer’s instruction to insert a small firing pin renders an armoured tank useless. The applications are numerous and they all underscore the importance of the need to always pay attention to the instructions and guidance in a manufacturer’s manual.
Is my toothbrush good?
A toothbrush is a small brush with a long handle that is used to clean teeth. It was first mass-produced by William Addis in England. For most people, a soft-bristled toothbrush will be the most comfortable and safest choice. A medium to the hard-bristled toothbrush could be traumatic to the gum and increase the rate at which tooth enamel surfaces are rubbed off. The handle of a good toothbrush should be able to withstand normal use. Regular and correct tooth brushing reduces plaque build-up and gum disease in their early stages. Electric toothbrushes cost more than manual types. Some people don’t like the vibratory feeling of an electric toothbrush while others find it easier to use. Vigorous toothbrushing can damage one’s teeth and gum. A powered toothbrush may make it easier for you to be gentle on your teeth and gum and also get them cleaned at the same time. There is no significant difference in effectiveness when using an electric or a manual toothbrush in their ability to remove plaque and prevent gum diseases. A toothbrush should be replaced when the bristles are no longer even when viewed horizontally at the level of one’s eyes.
Is it all on women?
Once a good woman gets attached to you she becomes loyal, committed and faithful. She can be jealous at times because she wants to protect her own. She can accept your mistakes sometimes and oftentimes, even when you are lying, she could choose to believe you. But when a woman leaves because she is fed up with a man’s lies she never comes back the same. Some of the irritating things that men do which could make a wife start cheating are, not having time for your wife, abuse of any type and cheating on her. When a woman cheats on her husband she has probably had enough and is ready to call it quits. Always remember that the death of the husband of a promiscuous woman comes cheaply. A man can initiate and sustain harmony in the home by acting on the following tips.
-Demonstrate your love and trust each time an opportunity presents itself.
-Don’t take revenge.
-Put forgiveness into practice.
-Don’t allow her to be bored even when not co-located.
-Assist her with house chores.
-Don’t allow your wife to dress irresponsibly.
-Don’t let her borrow money from your friends, neighbours or relations because it could construct a bridge for cheating.
Breakfast before brushing.
Maintenance of good oral hygiene is important because the mouth is where food is chewed before been passed to the stomach where the digestive process of food is completed. If one cultivates the habit of brushing his teeth the last thing at night before going to bed there will be no food particles left in the mouth for bacteria to break down and release an acid which would cause cavities, especially in the back teeth called premolars and molars. Streptococcus mutans is the most common bacterium responsible for teeth decay. It forms a sticky film known as plaque. It is when plaque is allowed to accumulate that its bacteria content damages the hard structure called enamel in a tooth. It also damages the deeper surrounding structures of the tooth. When mixed with minerals, plaque forms tartars that cannot be removed by regular tooth brushing unless a dentist is consulted. Bad breath or mouth odour, destruction of the surrounding tissues of teeth and teeth discolouration could be experienced when proper cleaning of teeth is not done. However, all the above effects could be reduced or avoided by taking the following simple steps.
1. Brush your teeth properly the last thing at night.
2. Rinse your mouth thoroughly the following morning, take your breakfast and brush your teeth after breakfast. This way your teeth are kept clean and your mouth is fresh as you go to work.
3. Rinse your mouth thoroughly after taking snacks at break time, lunch and supper. Brush your teeth again the last thing at night before going to bed. Maintain the cycle for positive results.
Touch them with caution.
Most people habitually touch some parts of the body. This has some health implications they are not aware of.
We daily go to different places, touching items such as chairs, tables, money etc. Bacteria could easily be picked from these surfaces and transferred to some sensitive parts of the body.
1. Your eyes: Eyes are delicate, soft, moist and contain a liquid substance thus making it easy for germs to be absorbed. Avoid touching your eyes with your bare hands.
2. The skin under your nails: Don’t pick the dirt stuck in your fingernails with your hands. It contains loads of germs that could either be pushed further into your nail bed or transferred to a cut or wound on your skin and lead to complications.
3. Your mouth: Your mouth is a major gateway to your body. Those who indulge in the habit of cutting their fingernails with their teeth stand the risk of transferring bacteria from dirty fingernails and fingers to the mouth and body system.
4. Your Butt: Being the passage through which undigested foods are discharged, the anus contains bacteria. Avoid scratching your anus with excess toilet tissue because this passage is delicate and can be easily injured. Always wash your hands after using the toilet.
5: Your ear canal: The thin skin covering your outer ear is sensitive and can be ruptured easily by fingers such that dirt is pushed into the inner chamber of the ear to cause an ear infection. When itching you, carefully use a cotton bud or a clean napkin to clean your ears.
What is the cause?
Mouth odour could be frustrating and embarrassing when so much money has been spent on mouthwashes and dentist’s appointments without any improvement. It is unpleasant when friends beat a retreat as you approach to chat with them. It brings stigmatization, ridicule and low self-esteem. It could force an affected person to become an introvert especially if he has come to his wit’s end without a concrete solution. This could cause loss of relationships and some opportunities one could have got via interacting with people. When brushing your teeth in the morning and the last thing at night and visiting your dentist regularly to fill decayed teeth, scaling and polishing your teeth fail to remove the mouth odour, the root cause needs to be traced and eliminated. Only about 5% of millions of people who have mouth odour across the globe are treated annually because the symptoms are often treated while the root cause(s) are neglected. Type 1 halitosis (mouth odour) is caused primarily by poor oral hygiene that could result from poor teeth brushing habits while type 2 halitosis (mouth odour) causes recalcitrant mouth odour that persists regardless of good oral hygiene habits. It is caused by decayed undigested food in the intestine. It is not all the food we eat that gets digested or removed as excreta from our system. Some of them cling to the walls of our intestines where they are acted upon by bacteria to release odour directly to the lungs and finally to the mouth. Gargling with mouthwashes that are only switched around in the mouth and spat out cannot eliminate this type of mouth odour. A detoxifying therapy is needed to remove undigested food from the intestines. If you find yourself in the situation described above, visit your family doctor for proper examination and treatment.
