Before you do breast implant

That men obsess over women’s bust is no news. Indeed, Nigerian Juju megastar, King Sunny Ade, might have unwittingly lent credence to this when, in a media interview, he confessed that for a woman to turn him on, she must be heavily endowed in the chest area.

He even composed a number around the issue when, in one of his tracks, he said a woman’s true beauty lies in the denseness of her breasts.

It’s not only men that obsess over women’s breasts, though. The average woman also considers them something of a treasure; while those in showbiz virtually see them as their unique selling point — wrongly or rightly.

Don’t get infected with Typhoid

Toria is not one to complain about her health, by the time she does, one can be certain it’s serious. So it was quite an issue on Sunday this week, when she kept on about a nagging pain. “I’m not feeling too well. There is this pain in my lower abdomen. It’s making me really uncomfortable.” Initially, no one gave her moaning much attention, but when she kept it up all day, some helpful suggestions began to materialize. ”It’s probably constipation or an ulcer,” a friend suggested. “Perhaps it’s that time of the month,” another pointed out. But none of these suggestions did much to assuage Toria’s discomfort or help identify the true cause of her pain. It was not until the very next day when she broke out into a very high fever and red skin rash that she was taken to the local clinic that a diagnosis of typhoid fever was confirmed. But Toria was dumbstruck.

Save your skin from boils

The human skin is the largest organ in the body, as it covers the skeleton. The skeleton, in turn, encases the internal organs, shielding them from harm. Yet, many of us are so unduly familiar with our skin to the point that we leave it to cater for itself. Physicians say while many systemic factors such as diabetes, obesity, and hematologic (blood) disorders could lower an individual’s resistance to opportunistic infections, the truth is that, generally, when you place your skin at the mercy of the weather, a lot of harm — by way of infections — can happen to it, and they include developing a rash of boils. Boil complication Family physician, Dr. Damilare Okikiolu, explains, “A boil, medically called a furuncle, is a deep infection in the hair follicles (folliculitis). It is most commonly caused by infection by the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. It usually results in a painful, swollen area on the skin caused by an accumulation of pus
