MAIN
1. Heredity is known to be a major cause of epilepsy
Epilepsy is a transient abnormal brain functional disorder characterized by recurrent convulsions or/and loss of some sensory functions with or without loss of consciousness.
The convulsion maybe focal at the onset but could then become generalized.
The sensory symptoms include light flashes, sudden buzzing in the ear, unusually taste, and smell. All these depend on the part of the brain where the electrical discharges are coming from.
In many cases, the cause of epilepsy cannot be determined.
Heredity is known to be a major cause; that is, children of epileptics are at higher risk of epilepsy; this could begin at any age.
Epilepsy could also be due to medical conditions such as congenital abnormalities, brain injuries at birth, brain scars resulting from head injuries due to falls/road traffic accidents, brain tumours, blood vessel diseases and Alzheimer disease.
2. Your skin type is determined by how much oil your skin produces.
Your skin type is determined by how much — or how little — oil your skin produces. Genes, diet, stress level, hormonal fluctuations, medication and even your skincare regimen all determine how much oil your skin produces and you may find your skin type changes frequently going from dry to oily to normal — all in the course of a matter of months. This is normal.
You can do a “Skin Test” to tell what skin type you have. To do this, wash your face, pat it dry; then take a few pieces of rice paper or lens-cleaning tissue paper and press on different spots on your face. If your skin is oily, the paper will stick, pick up oily spots and become translucent. If the paper doesn’t stick or pick up any oily spots, your skin is likely dry. If it sticks in your t-zone (forehead, nose and chin) then you have combination (or normal) skin. Most women actually have combination skin.
3. Fidelity can prevent gonorrhea.
The tendency to have casual sex among the young is very high and that increases the risk of contracting sexually transmitted disease; ditto when you have sex with several partners during the same period. The young can have sex with several persons on the same day; the more people you have sex with, the higher the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
4. Blindness is a known complication of diabetes
After about fifteen (15) years, about two (2) percent of diabetics may become blind while about ten (10) percent may become partially blind, and about 75 percent, less degree of damage. Cataract is also a known complication.
These complications can be prevented by regular eye checks and proper treatment.
5. Bananas protect our eyesight
Fruits like banana are important for keeping good sight. A 2004 study, published in the Archives of Ophthalmology, indicated that eating three or more servings of fruit per day may lower your risk of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), the primary cause of vision loss in older adults, by
36 per cent, compared to persons who consume less than 1.5 servings of fruit daily.
6. Infertility is a known complication of gonorrhea
Untreated gonorrhea in women can lead to blockage of the tubes which bring eggs/fertilized eggs to the womb. If both tubes are blocked the woman will not be able to have children except through assistance.
Untreated gonorrhea, by destroying the cells in the testes, can prevent a man from having children.
