Breast cancer prevention: How to reduce your risk


Breast cancer prevention starts with healthy habits — such as limiting alcohol and staying physically active. Understand what you can do to reduce your breast cancer risk. 
 
If you're concerned about breast cancer, you may be wondering if there are steps you can take toward breast cancer prevention. Some risk factors, such as family history, can't be changed. However, there are lifestyle changes you can make to lower your risk.

What can I do to reduce my risk of breast cancer?

Lifestyle changes have been shown in studies to decrease breast cancer risk even in high-risk women.  The following are steps you can take to lower your risk:
  • Limit alcohol. The more alcohol you drink, the greater your risk of developing breast cancer. If you choose to drink alcohol — including beer, wine or liquor — limit yourself to no more than one drink a day.
  • Don't smoke. Accumulating evidence suggests a link between smoking and breast cancer risk, particularly in premenopausal women. In addition, not smoking is one of the best things you can do for your overall health.
  • Control your weight. Being overweight or obese increases the risk of breast cancer. This is especially true if obesity occurs later in life, particularly after menopause.
  • Be physically active. Physical activity can help you maintain a healthy weight, which, in turn, helps prevent breast cancer. For most healthy adults, the Department of Health and Human Services recommends at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity weekly, plus strength training at least twice a week.
  • Breast-feed. Breast-feeding may play a role in breast cancer prevention. The longer you breast-feed, the greater the protective effect.
  • Limit dose and duration of hormone therapy. Combination hormone therapy for more than three to five years increases the risk of breast cancer. If you're taking hormone therapy for menopausal symptoms, ask your doctor about other options. You may be able to manage your symptoms with nonhormonal therapies, such as physical activity. If you decide that the benefits of short-term hormone therapy outweigh the risks, use the lowest dose that works for you.
  • Avoid exposure to radiation and environmental pollution. Medical-imaging methods, such as computerized tomography, use high doses of radiation, which have been linked with breast cancer risk. Reduce your exposure by having such tests only when absolutely necessary. While more studies are needed, some research suggests a link between breast cancer and exposure to the chemicals found in some workplaces, gasoline fumes and vehicle exhaust.

Can a healthy diet prevent breast cancer?

Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables hasn't been consistently shown to offer protection from breast cancer. In addition, a low-fat diet appears to offer only a slight reduction in the risk of breast cancer.
However, eating a healthy diet may decrease your risk of other types of cancer, as well as diabetes, heart disease and stroke. A healthy diet can also help you maintain a healthy weight — a key factor in breast cancer prevention.

INCREDIBLE: Prophet Predicts Death Of Nadia Buari, Yvonne Nelson, Others

Prophet Predicts Death Of Nadia Buari, Yvonne Nelson, Others 












A Ghanaian prophet has revealed during his appearance at a radio show that some of the country’s most-loved celebs are on the death list.
Prophet Samuel Baffour of El Shaddai Prayer Centre stated that God has shown him the names of the stars who are in danger. The list included Jim Iyke’s girlfriend, Nadia Buari, Yvonne Nelson, Samini, Obour, Kabobo and Lil’ Win. The prophet also described how they might die: 
 
Nadia Buari
This death would be similar to Suzzy William’s. Suzzy, a budding actress, perished in a vehicles accident along the Labadi-Tema road.
Yvonne Nelson
Some haters in Ghana would love the actress to be dead. They plotting against Yvonne, so her progress and carrier growth would be stalled. Such crisis would sink so low that nobody recognises her anymore. This will eventually result in her death.
Lil’ Win
Another death on the road has been predicted. Kumawood actor’s life might end in bizarre circumstances. He will either die by knocking down somebody with his car, which will result in his lynching, or he will drive his car into a tree or an electric pole.
Obour
The President of Musicians Union in Ghana is also at risk, according to the prophet. When Obour visits a funeral ceremony of a fellow musician, some haters would poison him. Therefore, toxins would kill Obour.
Samini
The prophet warned that some persons in the music industry are planning the death of the ‘African Dancehall King’, Samini. His name was actually first seen by the prophet. Some people are envious of artiste’s talent and success, so they may harm him, which will lead to his death.

65-Yr-Old Man Impregnates 3 Ladies And His Own Daughter Twice


 
There must be a specific name we should give to this old man. What could he be thinking? 65-year-old traditional healer from Bezha Village in Umzingwane district impregnated three teenagers from the village including his own daughter for whom he paid Z$80 billion bride price.
Angry villagers on 18 February converged at headman Nkala’s homestead demanding the arrest of Killion Moyo, describing him as a “sex predator” from whom their children were not safe. Nkala said the issue was reported to Esigodini police. According to Chronicle News, Moyo fathered two children aged four and three with his daughter. He warned he would send lightning to strike anyone asking about his relationships.
A neighbour’s daughter also has Moyo’s children aged eight and five while another girl who reportedly fled to neighbouring South Africa, has a three-year-old child with the traditional healer.
Moyo confessed to a Chronicle News crew that he had been sleeping with his daughter since 2003 when she was in Grade Seven, alleging it was a way of appeasing the spirit of his late wife.
Further, he stunned villagers alleging that he had paid Z$80 billion lobola (bride price) to his daughter’s grandmother. He also confessed that he has been sleeping with two other young girls from the village.
A villager said: “We are afraid of Moyo because he always threatens to strike people with lightning. He has been involved in a string of child abuse and rape cases for many years.”
One of the victims aged 23, told Chronicle that she was in Grade Seven when she was told by her parents that she was going to stay with Moyo because he was now responsible for paying her fees.
She said Moyo did not send her to school but started involving her in his rituals.
“Moyo gave me a separate room but at night he would sneak into my blankets and tell me that I was a wife of the spirits.
“He took my virginity molesting me until I fell pregnant at the age of 14. He threatened me with lightning if I tried to escape. As it is, I have two children with him and he does not take care of them,” said the victim, who has since fled back to her parents.
Her father, Lazarus Dube said Moyo tricked him into allowing him to marry his under-age daughter by promising him sweet potatoes and cattle.
“He never brought the cattle or the sweet potatoes,” said Dube.
Moyo told Chronicle that the spirit of his late wife Joyce Mpofu ordered him to marry their daughter. His wife died in 1990.
“My wife worked with me during my rituals. After her death she tormented me through dreams, asking me to look for a woman belonging to the family who was going to take her role,” said Moyo, displaying a toothless grin.
“I discussed with my mother-in-law, Petheni Moyo-Bhebhe asking her to give me a wife from her family so that I could solve my problems. She agreed to replace Joyce with my daughter, now 23-years-old.”
Moyo said he took his daughter to his shrine, which he calls Elitsheni and introduced her to the ancestors who approved their marriage.
He added: “I paid my mother-in-law Z$80 billion lobola. She refused to inform other relatives about the issue. I then started sleeping with her.”

Harrinia Alexander is the supposed ex-wife of John Dumelo. John and Harrinia are in the centre of a controversial marriage. John has denied ever marrying Harrinia, he insists that the so-called marriage was fake and it was done for a documentary. Harrinia on the other hand insists that he is indeed John’s legal wife. Today being their supposed wedding anniversary, Harrinia wrote a touching open letter to John.  (GistUs)
Here it is:


“To my husband on our anniversary march 11, 2014.
When I look back at how we began;
the laughter and love that we shared,
I smile at all the ways we loved and we dared
to dream of a wonderful future together
and how we promised this was forever
And I try to recall the moment when
things started to change;
Just what it could’ve been
to cause our happiness to slip away,
And though I may never find the answer
I do know one thing for sure;
I still love you now
as much as I did then
and I don’t know how
but we can get through this
I’m not ready to give up on us
You’re still my one true love
To my husband John Dumelo
All I want for this anniversary is for you to
Be honest to everyone about our marriage.
You keeping silent and going around telling
Everyone you are not married is not being a good
Role model as you call yourself.
People look up to you, I am asking you this from my
Heart be honest.

AMVCA Outfits: Controversial Designer, Emmy Collins Blasts Chika Ike, Uche Jombo, Monalisa Chinda, Others

Click for Full Image Size
Fashion designer, Emmy Collins, who is so used to attacking celebrities’ outfits to events, has again found faults the dresses wore by some female celebrities to the recently concluded AfricaMagic Viewers Choice Awards (AMCVA) held in Lagos.

Collins blasted Chika Ike, Monalisa Chinda, Funke Akindele, Uche Jombo and Toke Makinwa.Click for Full Image Size 
Uche Jombo's outfit:

I don`t even know what a neck piece is doing on her neck really. These lasses should fathom when less is more. The only good news is that when I consider the black slit cum butchered dress that exposed Uche`s huge thighs awhile ago, then this should be regarded as making headway.Click for Full Image SizeMonalisa Chinda’s:

What planet are these people from biko? Pluto or Mars? I really think we need to bring them down to planet earth because I can`t fathom for the life of me where they access the inspiration to underwhelm.

This dress appears to be literally bursting at all seams. The stress on the seams are quite vivid and the poor quality of the fabric didn`t help matters. Perhaps the designer coughed out a king’s ransom for this fabric but that doesn`t deflect the fact that the fabric which I`m assuming is Satin appears so cheap.

The choice of color was flawed as well. Please take your eyes to the neckline, apparently the designer was going for a heart neckline but the multiple squeezes on that area don’t say ‘heart’ to me. We definitely need better tailors in Nigeria and also designers who understand the act of quality control because if the designers had done proper control they wouldn't put this dress on an enemy talk more of a supposed A-lister. Is she an A-lister? Yup,she must be. Ekwesili ipia designer of this dress utali.Click for Full Image Size 
Funke Akindele:

Kai, slit don suffer ni. Even Funke must show legs, abi? Wonders shall never end. Why these people no dey gree stay for their lanes, me I no sabi.

Ngwanu, make I bless Funke with 2 out of 10 and see how she feels about that. This is just one hideous dress, GBAM!Click for Full Image Size 
Chika Ike:

Wowww! Who do we have here? Holy sh*t, it’s Miss Dubai looking like an over decorated wedding cake. How could someone talk cheap and look cheap as well? That can`t be fair!Click for Full Image Size 
Toke Makinwa

I didn`t even know sequins are made in Yellow, lol. Loads of sins were going on in this dress when I bumped into my old friend. One of the sins were that the dress wasn`t properly pressed but then I guess considering the antecedents of NEPA coupled with the scarcity of fuel, she might have a ready-made excuse for the little indiscretion of hers.

In sumation, this dress didn`t quite cut it. And that pout? Hmmmm, women I hail una o!

Is Fashion designer, Emmy Collins right with some faults she found with the dresses wore by some female celebrities to the recently concluded AfricaMagic Viewers Choice Awards (AMCVA) held in Lagos?

Why Nigerian New Defense Minister Aliyu Gusau Resigned


                         General Aliyu Gusau (rtd)

Newly appointed Defense Minister Aliyu Gusau has resigned.
Mr. Gusau’s sudden decision to quit President Goodluck Jonathan’s cabinet arose from what the former minister considered an act of insubordination and indiscipline from Nigeria’s top military brass.
Several sources at the Defense Ministry told SaharaReporters that Nigeria’s top military officers yesterday refused to have a joint meeting with Mr. Gusau and his deputy, Musikilu Obanikoro, a former senator.
Sources at the ministry told SaharaReporters that Nigeria’s top military henchmen kept Mr. Gusau waiting for two days after he summoned them to a meeting, with different military service chiefs making excuses for their inability to meet with him and his deputy immediately. Finally, the situation turned testy yesterday when, after keeping Mr. Gusau and Mr. Obanikoro waiting for several hours, the Chief of Defense Staff, Air Marshal Alex Badeh, showed up alone for a meeting.
“When Air Marshal Badeh showed up, the Minister of Defense told him he was expecting all the chiefs of staff within the military, but Badeh reportedly told him there was no need,” said one source at the ministry. Our sources added that Badeh also told Mr. Gusau that he alone would be meeting with the minister as the Chief of Defense Staff (CDS), stating that this arrangement was the collective decision of military officers in the country.
One source said an attempt by the junior minister of defense, Mr. Obanikoro, to intervene was rudely brushed aside as Badeh asked him to “shut up.” “Air Marshal Badeh is said to have called Senator Obanikoro a ‘small boy’ and warned him that the military was not going to be taking orders anymore from bloody civilians like him,” one source stated.
Soon after the altercation, General Gusau (rtd) reportedly ended the meeting and asked the Permanent Secretary in the ministry to transmit his letter of resignation to President Goodluck Jonathan.
SaharaReporters learnt that Mr. Jonathan, who was rattled by the development, immediately charged Senate President David Mark with the task of prevailing on Mr. Gusau to rescind his resignation. The president reportedly promised to see that the issue was resolved expeditiously.
However, a source stated that Mr. Gusau remained infuriated and refused to back away from his decision to leave the cabinet. Late last night, President Jonathan paid a visit to Mr. Gusau’s home in Abuja in a last-ditch effort to persuade him to stay at his ministerial job, but Mr. Gusau refused to see the president.
Mr. Gusau kept away from today’s session of the Federal Executive Council, a weekly meeting of all ministers with the president. He reportedly told aides that he could not serve in a situation where military officers would show open disdain for their civilian leaders and him an experienced retired military man.
SaharaReporters contacted Mr. Obanikoro who admitted obliquely that there was what he termed a “slight disagreement,” but added that there was nothing serious.
An aide to Senator David Mark told SaharaReporters that Mr. Gusau had sent his letter of resignation to the Senate, which confirmed him after his nomination. The source added, however, that Mr. Mark had refused to have the resignation letter read because the senator was still hopeful of convincing Mr. Gusau to remain at his post.

Nigeria's n Minister of Defense Aliyu Gusau has resigned due to pressure from the leaders of the Nigerian military.















It all started yesterday when the Nigerian military refused to have a joint meeting with the Minister of Defense and his deputy Musikilu Obanikoro.
