Avoid wearing high heels often.

These X-Ray pictures show how you exert great pressure on the bones of your feet when you wear steep high heels.

Wearing them too often can increase your risk of pain, blisters, bone degeneration, and osteoarthritis.

The joints in your knees or foot can become arthritic if you wear high heels too much.

The reason is that while standing or walking, the pressure and imbalance caused by the heels can make the cartilage in your knee and foot joints to wear down over time. Image

LET'S TALK ABOUT CHOKING

The powerful photo below gives a stark warning to parents and caregivers over the dangers of choking.

For this little child, #echoke for real because she died after swallowing a peanut that got lodged in her airway!

A thread 🧵

RT to create awareness Image
Choking and suffocation happen when something blocks a person’s airway and prevents breathing.

This is a leading cause of death among children, especially those younger than 4 years.
Some kids, like the 7-year-old in the story below have choked on doritos chips and died in their mothers' arms while playing a prank!

Some people don't breastfeed but discharge milk from their nipples especially when touched.

This is known as galactorrhea!

It's not a disease on it's own, but it could be a symptom of an underlying problem.

A thread 🧵

Please RT for awareness
There's a chemical or hormone in your body known as Prolactin. It is responsible for stimulating breast milk production.

The hormone is made by a bean-shaped organ called the Pituitary gland.

This gland is found in the brain of both men and women.
Anything that causes too much prolactin to be produced can lead to breast milk discharge or galactorrhea, both in men and women.

Mr. Timo brought his wife to the hospital for her bruises after he hit her in the head.

When asked what happened, he said although he had never done that to his wife in their 5 years of marriage, he was compelled to do so this time.

Here's what he narrated..
Thread 🧵
Mr. Timo said his friend who lives abroad wanted to send N2 million through Timy to his family members in the village.

However, Timo realised he didn't have a domiciliary account and wanted to use his wife's account to receive the money and send it home.
So Mr. Timo told his friend abroad to send the N2 million into his wife's account to be transferred to the sender's family member back home. The money was sent.

But instead of remitting the complete N2 million to Timy, his wife told him she'll send only N1,950,000. Timy said no.

HAVING SEX DURING YOUR PERIOD CAN STILL MAKE YOU PREGNANT!! 🍑🍆

{RT for women on your Timeline}
There's a myth going around that women can’t get pregnant if they have sex while on their period.

While this doesn't happen all of the time, it still happens some of the time.

Here's why:
1. Shorter menstrual cycle

Most women have a 28-day cycle. Usually, they bleed for 3 to 5 of those days & are most fertile during the ovulation stage around 12 to 16 days before the next period starts. If she has a shorter cycle, it means she also ovulates earlier.

A woman can conceive twins from two different biological fathers.

Such twins are genetically half-siblings because they came from the sperm of different men who had sex with their mother around ovulation.

This is known as heteropaternal superfecundation.

A thread 🧵

{Pls RT}
For this to happen:

1. The woman must ovulate twice (dizygotic), meaning she ovulates 2 eggs in the same cycle instead of the usual 1 egg.

2. She must have sex (or In Vitro Fertilization) with different men within a couple of days to one week around her ovulation.
Heteropaternal superfecundation can occur in:

• One complex act of sex (if a woman has sex with different men at the same time)

• Separate acts of sex with different men within 5 days, or

• When sperms from 2 separate men are introduced into her via artificial insemination.

An uncircumcised penis needs more attention to maintain good hygiene compared to a circumcised one. The foreskin attract more germs and dirt.

Please RT for awareness
If you're uncircumcised and don’t regularly clean under your foreskin, bacteria, dead skin cells, and oil can cause smegma to build up.

This can make your penis smell, cause foreskin inflammation (balanitis), and make pulling back your foreskin difficult (phimosis).
Both phimosis and balanitis can require medical attention if left untreated.

On the other hand, a circumcised penis doesn’t need additional hygiene. Just make sure you wash it regularly when you bathe.
