1. Ear wax is not dirt
Without it, your ear canal would become dry & prone to infection, hence, just leave it alone.
2. Using cotton buds just impacts it & may cause blockage.
The Ear cleanses itself.
The only thing that should enter your ear is your elbow 😒
3. It's important to take a 400mcg folic acid every day EVEN BEFORE you're pregnant and until you're 12-16 weeks pregnant.
Folic acid can help prevent BIRTH DEFECTS known as neural tube defects (such as spina bifida)
4. Your hormone levels fluctuate each month during your menstrual cycle, which causes changes in breast tissue. Swelling begins to decrease when your period starts.
The best time to perform a self-exam for breast awareness is usually the week after your period ends.
5. There are 2 types of herpes virus:
Oral herpes virus (HSV-1) & Genital herpes virus (HSV-2)
According to the CDC, more than half of the population carries the Oral herpes virus.
But babies under 3 months old are unable to fight off the virus & it can turn deadly very quickly.
Kissing them can easily make them prone to herpes especially since their immune system is not still fully developed.
6. The vagina is a self-cleaning organ & people don't need to clean it.
Regular DOUCHING is unnecessary. People can help keep the area clean & healthy by:
- Washing with clean water.
- using barrier methods eg CONDOM
- to reduce the risk of pregnancy & STIs with a sexual partner.
