<h2>Bitter kola, also known as Garcinia kola or bitter cola, is a common plant that can be found across central and western Africa.</h2>

The early blends of Coca-Cola contained the plant, explaining the similar name, while the current formula of the world-famous drink is no longer flavoured with actual bitter kola.

Bitter kola has been used in traditional African medicine for centuries and is considered to have many beneficial properties, including being able to help fight bacterial and viral infections. In terms of taste, the plant is well named! The edible seeds have a notably bitter taste, while there is also a slight sweetness to them.

When consumed, bitter kola offers many nutrients, and studies have shown that the plant is high in carbohydrates, fat, protein, vitamin c, calcium, potassium, iron and caffeine.

Traditional medicine considers bitter kola to be an aphrodisiac, so it’s believed to increase sexual desire, pleasure and performance. With these qualities in mind, why not try some bitter kola to help turbo-charge your sex life.

<h3>2) Bitter kola has antibacterial qualities</h3>

A study published has shown that both the bitter kola seeds and leaves have antibacterial properties.

Bitter kola was tested against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcuspyogenes, Salmonella typhi and Escherichia coli, and the plant was able to inhibit these microorganisms.

The antibacterial activity was found to be due to the presence of bioactive components in the extract such as tannin, and saponins.

<h3>3) Bitter kola nut may improve the immune system</h3>

Bitter kola has a high concentration of antioxidants, which is a term for any compound that counteracts free radicals. While environmental stressors such as tobacco smoke, ultraviolet rays and air pollution cause free radical production, they are also produced by many normal processes in the body including exercise and our immune response.

Free radicals damage DNA, cell membranes, and other parts of cells. So, as well as being essential assistance for important functions in the body, antioxidants also support the immune system. With a strong immune system, we are better able to fight disease and stay healthy.

<h3>4) It may be an antimalarial agent</h3>

Bitter kola contains the antioxidant kolaviron, which according to research published in the Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine, shows positive results for antimalarial properties. Traditional healers have for many years prescribed bitter kola for the treatment of malaria infections, and now, scientific studies are starting to support their beliefs.

<h3>5) Bitter kola may help to fight glaucoma</h3>

Glaucoma is a condition of increased pressure within the eyeball, causing a gradual loss of sight, and can result in permanent blindness if left untreated.

A study in the Middle East African Journal of Ophthalmology showed that bitter kola is useful for reducing the pressure in the eye for newly diagnosed patients, and was as effective as more conventional treatments.

It is important to note that you must follow professional medical advice and treatment if you have glaucoma, even if the condition is newly diagnosed.

Bitter kola, also known as Garcinia kola or bitter cola, is a common plant that can be found across central and western Africa.

<h2>New relationships can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time. </h2>

After moving past the fun part of getting to know each other, reality sets in and the cracks starts showing. There are certain mistakes that we make that could be a deal-breaker in new relationships. Here are some things to avoid when building a new relationship:

This is one of the most common mistakes people make in new relationships. Setting unrealistic standards on your partner will only lead to disappointments hence jeopardising your relationship.

Remember that human is to error and that your partner will disappoint you sooner or later. Instead of rushing to break up, let them know that you aren’t happy with the mistake.

New relationships are quite delicate since you can over-share or keep secrets which can threaten the relationship. However, it’s necessary to share the important parts of your life to let your partner know more about you.

If you have a dark secret, this is the best time to reveal it as your partner is more likely to be understanding.

The key is knowing when to share certain things. Some secrets should not be shared with just any partner. It has to a partner who you are getting serious with.

When it comes to sex and relationships, things can get complicated really fast. It’s okay to have sex on the first date but it’s also important to remember that sex can cloud your judgment.

If you want a serious relationship, it’s better to wait a while until you’re absolutely certain you want to be intimate with that person.

<h3>4) Sacrificing other relationships</h3>

We all know someone who ghosts everybody when they’re in a new relationship.

While you may want to enjoy some quality time with your partner, this could set up the relationship for criticism from alienated friends who end up resenting the other person.

You could also develop an unhealthy dependency on your partner by spending too much time together.

Though you shouldn’t pick petty fights, you shouldn’t tolerate bad behaviour either. Being nonchalant in new relationships simply to avoid confrontation will only escalate the situation.

If certain behaviours don’t sit well with you, speak up, and set some boundaries. However, try not to come off as demanding or controlling as this is a huge turn-off.

Jealousy is not only an ugly habit but also exposes your own insecurities which can put your partner off. Avoid talking badly about your partner’s friends, especially of the opposite sex.

Additionally, constant suspicion indicates trust issues which can weaken the bonds of a new relationship. It’s better to talk through your fears rather than going through your partner’s phone.

New relationships can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time.

New couples, here are 6 mistakes to avoid in your relationships

<h2>Sex is always a moment of pleasure that intimate partners often take informally. Lovers usually have no boundaries to their pleasurable activity while the moment is on.</h2>

However, the lovemaking process is very sensitive and couples should curtail the habit of placing their hands on some sensitive parts of the genitals which are listed below.

If you reach her cervix during sex, recognize that something is wrong. Remember, this is the narrow canal that connects the vagina to the womb. That isn’t a place you want to go to, so don’t try to touch her there.

For starters, it’s painful for her to have something rammed against her cervix, and it could be a sign that you need to shift for a position with shallower penetration.

We know the clitoris is a super-sensitive zone and has a lot of nerve endings, but stimulating the head of the clitoris vigorously can turn out to be an intense and painful experience for her. Imagine gulping a cup of piping hot coffee immediately followed by an ice-cold beverage. The feeling is not pleasant, right? Instead, try rubbing around in circles or simply at the shaft of the clitoris.

Don’t touch her feet if she’s wearing socks! Wondering why? According to a study from Johns Hopkins University, wearing socks in the sack can increase the chances of having an orgasm. This logic applies to men as well. Another reason is that women need to be completely relaxed to climax, and cold feet can be an uncomfortable distraction.

You may think that it is strange yet this one is genuine – no lady prefers her hair to be pulled or entangled during sex when she has gone through hours (and wasted thousands!) in the salon on them.

Assuming that she’s breastfeeding or going to menstruate, try not to squeeze the nipples. It harms beyond your imagination.

<h2>While a nice bra can offer a good fit and shape, on other days, bras can stab you and leave you in pain.&nbsp;</h2>

Several studies over the years have observed that wearing a bra might not be necessary physically, anatomically or psychologically and do not support your health in any major way (i.e., keep your breasts young and healthy). Depending on the type of fabric they are made of, they might not be the most comfortable as well.

While choosing to go bra-less is a personal choice, there are certain changes that kick in once you stop wearing one in the long run (apart from all the money you will be saving).&nbsp;

Let us educate each other a little:

Once you go braless, no more worrying about redness and the straps clawing into your skin, which can be a usual phenomenon if you are in the habit of wearing a bra (especially wired ones) for prolonged hours. Not wearing a bra frees up the skin and tissues around the boobs of pressure. What it also does is help lessen the chances of bacteria and any germs which might be clinging to the skin with the fabric, especially in the summers or humid weather.

Not having to put on the bra facilitates better relaxation and that is one of the reasons why women who chose to go braless call it liberating. Scientifically, without having a heavily padded fabric, the breasts learn to adapt naturally and are freer to get a natural lift and growth.

Contrary to what we believe, newer studies say that not wearing a bra prevents and does not promote sagging of the breasts in the first place. With extra muscle tissue which is not constricted in the bra, breasts tend to look perkier and the process of sagging also tends to slow down. A 2017 study done observed that women who did not wear a bra had "fuller" breasts than the ones who didn't.

While more research is needed on the same, not wearing a bra may be actually promoting breast growth.

<h3>4) Improved circulation and blood flow</h3>

Simply put, without any wires, mesh or heavy fabric stabbing your skin, blood flow through your skin and tissues improves around the chest area. This particularly helps keep your skin firm. Remember, the tighter your bra, the more likely are the chances of your skin experiencing trauma and pressure, which ultimately takes a hit on surface-level circulation.

Another secret benefit of going braless can be experiencing lesser pain around the chest, pectoral muscles and the back. While it largely depends on the kind of bra you wear (whether it is well-fitted or comfortable), bras can induce pressure on the ribcage, back muscles or even the neck. Coupled with a bad posture, it might be causing pain. Hence, a braless lifestyle can help solve this issue. However, for women with heavier breasts, bras might be doing the contrary and helping lessen the pain.

While a nice bra can offer a good fit and shape, on other days, bras can stab you and leave you in pain.

No Bra Day: 5 surprising benefits of going braless

Mouth ulcers, also known as canker sores, are tiny, uncomfortable lesions that generally appear on the lips or tongue.&nbsp;

They typically appear on the inner lips, gums, tongue, roof of the mouth, or throat and may make it difficult to eat.

Eating a lot of very acidic foods is typically a contributing factor. That’s why giving up acidic meals, especially acidic fruit, should be your first course of action if an ulcer starts to form. This will speed up your mouth’s healing process and reduce irritation.

Check out these home remedies to heal mouth ulcers:

Canker sores can be disinfected and healed more quickly with warm salt water rinses. Salt eliminates microorganisms from any contaminated area since it has an antibacterial effect. To make salt water, just combine a teaspoon of salt with a cup of warm water. Use this mixture to rinse your mouth twice a day for a few minutes.

You can chew on cloves to ease pain and hasten the healing of canker sores. Cloves’ antibacterial and analgesic properties help maintain a canker sore’s cleanliness, encourage healing, and ease the pain.

Your bowel movements and intestinal flora will improve if you consume a serving of yoghurt with Bifidus or probiotics. This can boost the natural defences of your body and hasten the healing of mouth ulcers.

When black tea is applied directly to a canker sore, its tannins speed up healing (an astringent substance, which removes residue and dirt).

Before using the black tea, you must first prepare it by letting the tea bag steep in a cup of hot water. Once the water and bag have cooled, apply the tea bag to the canker sore right away.

Mouth ulcers are painful sores that appear in the mouth.

<h2>Men are the most underrated in terms of emotions and it's true that sexual urges are more in men as compared to women, but it is not at all true that men do not want anything else.&nbsp;</h2>

When it comes to companionship, partnership and family orientation men are equally reliable as women.

If you want your man to go wild in bed and give him a good time, pamper him in that sense then here are some foreplay tips that will drive him wild:

If you want to drive him wild physically then start with naughty texts. The sexting turns them on like nothing else can and do so throughout the day. Send erotic texts and pictures. Go wild, start with something small. He will be on fire for you when he is done with work and about to reach home.

Women have the power to make men literally beg in bed and men secretly love it! The texts have already driven them wild so why would they not be crazy with desire? To match that and keep the game on, tease him and drive him nuts. Do not give him what he wants so quickly. Give in but delay until you think you can.

Not always, but sometimes, giving a blowjob when you are comfortable, would be classic! There too, just do not do it mechanically like you may have seen in some adult films. Go slow, tease, explore, use chocolate, honey, or whatever drives your boat. Do it like you mean it. Also, after kissing, kiss the erogenous zones like his neck, stomach, chest, and inner thighs. Lick everywhere, and give at least 10 to 15 minutes to the teasing.

Men like being praised and all of them will admit to it if you ask them at the right moment, Tell him verbally, how good he is. How he satisfies you. Praise his manhood because their world is associated with it in some or the other way. Describe exactly to him what felt great.

<h3>5) Utter words seductively in his ears</h3>

Tell him he is the sexiest, hottest and an incredible lover. Speak of how his manhood drove you drive wild. Say these and more to him in his ears seductively.

Men are the most underrated in terms of emotions and it's true that sexual urges are more in men as compared to women, but it is not at all true that men do not want anything else.

5 foreplay tips that will drive men wild

<h2>Although not reliable, it’s a better option than taking no precautions. It’s also an option for couples who are open to the possibility of pregnancy.&nbsp;</h2>

As the name implies, in pulling out, one partner takes his penis out of the other partner’s vagina before he ejaculates. By doing this, fewer sperm travel through the vagina and cervix. The male partner can then deposit the sperm anywhere else.

Although this may sound easy, it does require control and timing. If the male partner can’t feel that he’s about to ejaculate or if he’s too caught up in the moment, he might not pull out in time.&nbsp;

Whether pulling out is a legitimate form of birth control is the topic of extensive debate. However, it does lower the likelihood of pregnancy to some extent. If you want to avoid getting pregnant and catching an STI, the safest option would be using a condom and pulling out simultaneously.&nbsp;

For the pull-out method to work correctly, it has to be done right every time you have intercourse. Before the male partner orgasms, he should pull his penis from the female partner’s vagina and ejaculate elsewhere. This is essential, as even a small amount of semen can lead to pregnancy.&nbsp;

<h2>Here are some tips for how to pull out correctly:&nbsp;</h2>

Use a spermicide cream, gel, or foam to kill the sperm before they can swim toward the uterus. Place the spermicide deep in the vagina, close to the cervix. Follow the instructions to make sure spermicide is applied properly before sex.

Keep track of your fertile days using an ovulation calendar. During these days, it’s best to use something besides the pull-out method to avoid pregnancy. Ovulation calendars can also help you to get to know your body by detecting physical and emotional patterns.&nbsp;

Before intercourse, have your partner pee to clear out any sperm.&nbsp;

After your partner ejaculates, make sure there’s no semen on your upper thighs or groin. Sperm on these areas of your body may migrate inside your vagina.&nbsp;

Does pulling out work? How effective is the pull-out method when done correctly?&nbsp;

For the pull-out method to be effective, both partners should keep sperm away from the vulva and vagina every time they have sex. Pull-out method statistics show that out of 100 women who use the pull-out method perfectly, four will get pregnant. In general, 27 women whose partners pull out get pregnant out of 100. (To compare, roughly 15 out of 100 couples who use condoms get pregnant.) Couples who don’t use any birth control method have an 85 per cent chance of pregnancy.&nbsp;

In general, the pull-out method is unreliable, and healthcare providers consider it ineffective compared to other options.

<h2>If you are on birth control, do you have to pull out?&nbsp;</h2>

Birth control pills protect against unwanted pregnancy. These pills can be up to 99.9 per cent effective when taken correctly. According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), mini pills and combination pills have seven per cent failure rates with typical use. This means that seven out of 100 women will get pregnant while using birth control pills.&nbsp;

Although birth control pills are statistically more effective than pulling out, there’s no harm in using both. However, birth control pills and the pull-out method can’t prevent the spread of STIs.&nbsp;

<h2>Benefits of the withdrawal method&nbsp;</h2>

There are several benefits of the withdrawal birth control method, which include:&nbsp;

It is free and available at all times. When you use the pull-out method, you and your partner don’t have to spend money or prepare anything before having intercourse. Anyone can use it at any place and at any time. Although most people need some practice to get it right, pulling out is always available when needed. It also might be an option if you forgot to buy a condom or left your birth control pills at home.&nbsp;

It has no side effects. Unlike some prescribed birth control options, pulling out involves no nausea, vomiting, or increased appetite.&nbsp;

It makes other forms of birth control more effective. When combined with a condom or birth control pills, the pull-out method can decrease the chance of an unplanned pregnancy.&nbsp;

<h2>Risks and disadvantages of the pull-out method</h2>

Of course, the pull-out method does come with some disadvantages too:&nbsp;

It’s not effective. Other birth control methods can be more effective (e.g., birth control pills and IUDs).&nbsp;

It requires practice. Men often have trouble pulling out when they’re close to climaxing.&nbsp;

It’s tricky to do correctly. Many couples can get caught up in the moment and fail to pull out in time. Men, especially if they’re younger or inexperienced, can lack the self-control needed to pull out at the height of sexual pleasure.&nbsp;

It can only prevent pregnancy, not protect against STIs. Many STIs like herpes or genital warts can spread via skin-to-skin contact. Moreover, chlamydia and gonorrhoea can be transmitted by the penis before ejaculation. As a result, it’s always prudent to use a condom.&nbsp;

This could, however, be an indication that you are at risk of developing diabetes, which should be a sign that you should know how to manage your health.

<h3>The key to preventing your blood sugar levels from rising is paying attention to food and physical activity.</h3>

Here are some effective tips that might help you control the rising blood sugar levels after eating:

Fibre is a type of carbohydrate that does not break down in the body, so its consumption does not have much impact on the blood glucose level because it produces very little amount of sugar. Experts suggest that consuming high-fibre-rich foods does not cause a spike in your blood sugar levels.

Also, consuming fibre-rich foods keeps you satiated so you don’t overeat. Plus, you don’t eat extra calories or too much sugar.

<ul><li>Practice portion control</li></ul>

One of the best ways to avoid post-meal sugar spikes is to control how much you are eating. Consume meals in small portions several times a day, but do not overeat in one go, which is why your sugar spikes in the first place. If you consume small amounts of food, your blood sugar will remain balanced and there would be no sudden fluctuations.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Generally, people think that dinner causes your blood sugar levels to spike, but it is not so. From breakfast to lunch to snacking, everything you eat during the day can affect your blood sugar levels. In fact, skipping breakfast can cause your blood sugar levels to spike rapidly in the next meal. Try to incorporate protein, complex carbs, and healthy fats in your breakfast.

<ul><li>Don’t lie down immediately after eating</li></ul>

Raise your hand if the first thing you do after eating is lie down because you feel too lazy to do anything! Well, studies have found that lying down immediately after eating or sitting can cause a rapid rise in your blood sugar levels. When you do this, your muscles are not able to transfer the extra glucose into the bloodstream. Plus, this habit promotes digestive problems. It is better to walk slowly for some time after eating to promote insulin sensitivity. It is also a good way to utilize glucose more effectively.

Blood sugar spikes post-meal are a common occurrence, even in people who are not diabetic.

<h2>How important is sacrifice in a relationship might be difficult to quantify, but its importance cannot be denied. It highlights the adjustments and concessions one has to make to have a more harmonious relationship with their partner.&nbsp;</h2>

The real essence of making sacrifices lies in small things. Sacrifices in relationships don’t have to be these substantial sweeping gestures.

While every relationship is unique, here are some examples of sacrifices that are often considered worthy:

Relationships require time and effort. You may need to sacrifice some personal time or prioritize your partner’s needs over your own at times. This could involve spending less time on hobbies or adjusting your schedule to accommodate quality time together.

Sometimes, individuals need to sacrifice or adjust their personal goals or ambitions to support their partner’s aspirations. This doesn’t mean giving up everything, but rather finding a balance that allows both partners to pursue their dreams while supporting each other.

Sacrificing a certain level of independence is natural in a committed relationship. It may involve making joint decisions, consulting with your partner before making major choices, or considering their perspective when making individual choices.

Stepping out of your comfort zone is often necessary for personal growth and relationship development. You might need to sacrifice the familiar and embrace new experiences or activities that your partner enjoys.

<ul><li>Emotional vulnerability</li></ul>

Being vulnerable and open in a relationship can require sacrificing emotional defences. It involves sharing your thoughts, feelings, fears, and insecurities, which can be challenging but very crucial for building trust and intimacy.

Sacrifices are sometimes necessary to maintain a healthy and fulfilling relationship.

For couples: 5 important sacrifices you should make in a relationship

According to him, a couple can annul their marriage a year after the union, but they can only file a divorce petition two years after the marriage.

Mr Hotor said this when he spoke to Joy News on matters concerning how one can start a divorce process legally in the country.

“If it is something that you’re going to annul, it must be within one year. But if you have just married, it must take at least 2 years before you can bring a divorce petition,” he said.

The process of divorce becomes easier when the decision is mutually agreed upon by both spouses.

Nonetheless, in cases where one party disagrees, the other is advised to hire a lawyer to support in filing the petition at any preferred court.

He said, “It’s advisable that you get a lawyer who will first listen to your story and then situate it within the seven facts proving that the marriage has broken down beyond reconciliation.”

Following the filing of the petition, the other spouse is required to file an answer. Where a party fails to file, the lawyer moves forward with alternate remedies to the problem.

“Once the petition is filed, it is the beginning of the end,” the legal practitioner added.

As to how long it takes a court to complete a divorce case, Mr Sena asserted that the process is dependent on how complicated the situation is.

He also noted that an individual can further appeal to the court if he or she feels the court has rendered an unfair judgement.
