Have you ever been cheated on? You aren’t the first, and you won’t be the last in this scenario. It is indeed a nauseating feeling to find out that you have been cheated on, and it’s even worse if you felt intense love for that person.
The fact is that cheating always comes with a reason behind it. And that reason won’t always be you. It’s true that you can’t control people, and you definitely don’t want to be made a fool of, but when it comes to cheating, some things come into play and they require your attention.
There are many reasons that will eventually lead someone to cheat on their partner, and here are the 12 most common ones:
Not wanting to settle yet
If a partner is not ready to settle yet, it’s very uncomfortable for him/her to give up on the relationship the other person is so eager to build. It’s true that one of the partners will always be readier to settle than the other.
The problem comes when the person not ready to settle yet is having a very hard time coping with the direction of the relationship. That’s when they will most probably turn to cheating as a way to escape the idea of being monogamous with someone they aren’t quite ready for.
Feeling insecure about oneself
In a relationship, it’s the partner’s job to praise the beauty and abilities of the other partner. Otherwise, who would? If the partner is feeling insecure about them, he/she will probably turn to cheating.
This is because this person requires validation and proof that the other person is interested in them. If they don’t get it from their partner, they will eventually find someone who will buy them with just the right words and the proper amount of admiration.
Not being happy in the relationship, and in life
Feeling unhappy will make you think of many things that might potentially change that state. A person can feel unhappy because of many things. The partner’s job is to contribute to the other person’s happiness and show support through hard times.
Otherwise, the person who feels unhappy will eventually turn to cheating as a way to escape the reality they are stuck in. They do this because of the thrill involved, of the new experience with a different person, you name it. It’s the ultimate escape that comes with a return ticket (if nobody knows).
Not being in love anymore
Let’s face it. If you love someone, it doesn’t have to mean they have to love you back. And even if that love was once mutual, it can turn sour for one of the partners. While we won’t discuss why the love has gone away, one thing is certain:
If that person is still in a relationship with you, it’s because you love them and they can’t break up for the sake of that love, or for the sake of the years spent together. This does create stress. It’s not that they love the person they cheated on you with, but they certainly need the escape.
A firm belief in polygamy
Not everybody believes that they should be with only one person at a time. These people would happily live in parallel relationships, and wouldn’t mind turning to the next flirt for the mere fun of it.
With this person, you don’t much choice. They will cheat if they feel like it and they will see nothing wrong in it.
Feeling like they aren’t getting enough attention from their partner
There are those people who crave for a lot of attention, and there are those who crave for just the right amount of it. In either case, not getting enough of it, or feeling like they don’t, will eventually lead them to cheat.
If you have received the complaint of not paying enough attention to your partner, you should reevaluate the way you approach your partner. It’s not enough to think that your way of paying attention is something your partner will consider right.
Looking for diverse sexual ecstasies
It’s not that your partner doesn’t love you, it’s that they like to try out new things in this case. Some people want to experiment with sex. This doesn’t have to mean that they are actively searching someone who will sate their lust.
But once they do find someone who they deem as able to fulfill their sexual fantasy, they will not be able to resist the temptation. So, make sure you are not too traditional when it comes to sexual experiences with your partner, or they will find someone less traditional.
The pleasure of being chased after
Now, this kind of person doesn’t set their mind on cheating. They would just rather be chased after. They find it very enjoyable to be the object of others’ admiration and they will do everything to see that someone is highly interested in them.
However, this game is dangerous, and they are mostly unaware of it. They soon get carried away and one thing leads to another. Let them flirt, but keep a close eye on them and let them know.
Wanting to end the relationship
This one is a bit awkward. There are those who can’t find a good reason to end the relationship they are in, so they turn to cheating. Really, doing something fun with someone else and then losing their existing relationship because of that is a win-win situation for them.
Not feeling satisfied in bed
The sexual life is an important part of everyone’s life. If the partner is not feeling satisfied in bed, they will most likely turn to cheating. It’s because they don’t see as sexual satisfaction as a good reason to end a relationship.
The fact is that if one of the partners doesn’t feel satisfied in their sexual life, then that relationship is not on a good way anyway. And how come sexual satisfaction isn’t a crucial factor in a relationship?
Not feeling emotionally satisfied
Emotional satisfaction is another very important part of a relationship. If the partner doesn’t feel emotionally satisfied, you know what might be coming. Their need for some closeness and warmth will eventually lead them to someone who will be willing to share it with them.
That closeness will eventually lead to sex and even repeated cheating with the same person.
No excitement left in the relationship
Some relationships are so ‘perfect’ that all the excitement has gone away. It’s really the tough, the crazy, and the silly times that create that feeling of excitement and motion in the relationship. Without them, everything becomes sterile and dull.
It’s just a matter of time before one of the partner snaps and starts creating their own excitement. This can include sex with another person.
Have you ever wonder what are the most important vitamins that we must bring in our body? I’m sure vitamin C, D, A will come to your mind immediately, but what about vitamin B12?
I think we often take vitamin B12 for granted but we shouldn’t, because lack of vitamin B12 in your body will greatly affect your ability to make a correct judgment about many things.
Our body can’t produce enough quantity of the vitamin B12, which is water-soluble vitamin, so in order to achieve the recommended dose we have to bring it in through supplements.
Vitamin B12 together with the other B vitamins, aid the body in the process of converting carbs into glucose and producing energy.
Vitamin B12 boosts the creation of DNA and RNA. It also works with folate in the production of red blood cells and S-adenosyl methionine.
As we said before, vitamin B12 is very important for the nervous system because it directs the nerve impulses and produces myelin sheath, which plays an important role in protecting the nerves.
However, it’s not easy at all to detect B12 deficiency in your body. Lack of this vitamin can cause many health problems. Nerve damage can be one of them.
People who suffer from diabetes, and take metformin should be very cautious since this drug can lead to lack of vitamin B12 in the body.
Metformin and Lack of Vitamin B12
The researchers from Albert Einstein College of Medicine in NY conducted an analysis, to find out which are the effects that the metformin has on the vitamin B12. The team of researchers took into consideration the data provided from the Diabetes Prevention Program and the Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study.
The data acquired by an experiment conducted on people who were taking placebo and metformin two times a day. Their levels of vitamin B12 were measured one more time after 5 and after 13 years.
According to the analysis, there was a serious difference in the levels of vitamin B12. The patients who were taking metformin had significantly lower level of vitamin B12, comparing to those patients who were taking the placebo.
Furthermore, great number of the patients who were taking the metformin were anemic, which is another symptom that shows lack of vitamin B12.
Besides all the evidence, neither the U.S Food and Drug Association nor the American Diabetes Association tell that the levels of vitamin B12 in people who use metformin should be monitored. Still, the researchers say that the patients should take things in their own hands and ask their doctors to do that.
Lack of Vitamin B12
Studies conducted from the U.S. Framingham trial showed that about 40% of the American people have vitamin B12 deficiency, which is the root to many neurological symptoms. 9% of the people experienced lack of vitamin B12 and 16% were close to the level which shows deficiency.
According to the Framingham trial, lack of vitamin B12 can occur in both old and young people. However vitamin B12 deficiency would be much more often in older people, since older people have lower level of stomach acid. And low level of stomach acid means the body is unable to absorb the vitamin B12.
Other symptoms, frequent to older people, muscle weakness, cognitive decline, loss of memory and many more, are also connected with lack of vitamin B12 in the body.
Which are the Signs of Lack of vitamin B12?
Anemia
Gastrointestinal problems
Neuropsychiatric disorders
Exhaustion
Problems with the memory
Mental fogginess
Weakening of the muscles
Why do we often Ignore Lack of Vitamin B12 in the Body?
It’s very usual for doctors not to pay too much attention on the levels of the vitamin B12 in the body. But they should, because even the “normal” levels of the vitamin B12 may be considered as low.
The normal recommended level of vitamin B12 in the body is from 200pg/ml to 1100 pg/ml. The majority of the population has between 200-350 pg/ml and this should be considered as lack of vitamin B12.
If the levels of vitamin B12 are under 600 pg/ml, there is a possibility that you’ll experience some of the symptoms connected with vitamin B12 deficiency.
To Chris Kresser, an integrative medicine practitioner, in Japan and Europe, the level between 500-550 pg/ml can cause a lot of psychological and behavioral disorders, like cognitive decline, dementia and loss of memory.
According to the experts, who are specialists in diagnosis and treatment of vitamin B12 insufficiency, Sally Pacholok and Jeffery Stuart, those patients whose levels of vitamin B12 are lower than 450 pg/ml should undergo a treatment.
Additionally, those patients with raised holo transcobalamin, homocysteine and urinary methylmalonic acid, but normal levels of vitamin B12 should be treated too.
What are the Roles of Vitamin B12?
Regulation of the formation of red blood cells
Better food absorption
Normal digestion
Good mood
Iron use
Production of adrenal hormone
Helps the nervous system to function properly
Formation of cells and longevity
Mental health
Healthier immune system
Better concentration
Good circulation
Better growing of the nerves and development
Physical, mental and emotional energy
Healthy female reproductive health and healthy pregnancy
A Few More Roles of the Vitamin B12
Healthy Bones
Some researchers show that lack of vitamin B12 in the body can cause serious problems with the bones. Low levels of vitamin B12 in the body increase the possibility of bone fractures, especially in older men. Vitamin B12 deficiency in older women can cause fast bone loss in the hips.
Cognitive and Mental Health
Lack of vitamin B12 in the body can cause some neurological disorders which lead to depression, dementia or another mental illness.
According to a Finnish study, published in the journal Neurology, if people eat more food packed with vitamin B12, there are lower possibilities that those people would develop Alzheimer’s.
Foods Which are Packed with Vitamin B12
Animal food sources are rich in vitamin B12. So, there is a high possibility that vegetarians or people who don’t consume animal products regularly, have vitamin B12 deficiency.
Other foods packed with vitamin B12 are: organic free-range eggs, chicken, grass-fed dairy products and wild-caught Alaskan salmon.
Factors Which May Affect the Absorption of Vitamin B12
As mentioned above, as people are growing older, less hydrochloric acid, so less vitamin B12 is produced in their stomach. But whether the vitamin B12 is absorbed correctly or not depends on other factors, like:
Intestinal dysbiosis
Gut inflammation
Pernicious anemia
Exposure to nitrous oxide
Alcohol
Usage of acid-suppressing drugs and metformin
Vitamin B12 and Metformin
The Diabetes Prevention Program conducted a 3 year long study and concluded that in order to prevent development of diabetes is not necessarily to use metformin, but a few changes in your lifestyle can do you much better. Even in a follow-up study, 15 years later, the results were the same; lifestyle changes have far better effects than the use of metformin.
The participants who did some changes in their lifestyle, had 58% lower risk of developing diabetes, while those participants who were taking metformin had 31% lower risk of diabetes.
Well, now you know it. All you have to do is make a few changes in your lifestyle and reduce or completely stop the use of metformin. This way your body won’t lack the vitamin B12, because remember, the longer you use metformin, the higher the risk of vitamin B12 insufficiency.
It is only human to get angry from time to time. Everyone gets angry, but not everyone expresses their anger in the same way.
Have you ever wondered how other people express their anger? Well, wonder no more. All you need to know is their Zodiac sign and we will tell you.
Aries (March 21st – April 19th)
No Zodiac sign is as quickly angered as Aries. They are quick-tempered and can be easily annoyed over little things.
Sometimes they can be stubborn and they don’t like when people force them to do something. If they feel like they are pushed, they, like a fire burning, will use their force towards you.
However, as they are quick to get angry – they also are quick to forget and calm down. This sign forgives and forgets; just give them some time.
Taurus (April 20th – May 22nd)
Taurus doesn’t get angry easily. Their anger builds up until one day they can’t hold it anymore. Then it’s like you are dead to them. They will give you the silent treatment and a considerably long time has to pass before they decide they can talk to you again.
If you do get them to talk to you, you can be sure that if they sense that you are truly sorry and that they can trust you again, they will forgive you eventually.
You only need to give them enough time to sort the issue in their heads first.
Gemini (May 21st – June 20th)
With Gemini, you can never be absolutely sure how they would express their anger at the moment. They are known as the Zodiac Twins and their personality is split, so their behavior always has two sides.
For all we know, they love to talk and if they have decided to ‘kill’ you with words – they will. They may utter the most unexpected and offensive words to you.
The thing they hate most in the world is someone trying to control them; so, if you don’t want to see their dark side – be careful not to mingle in their freedom.
On the other hand, they are joyful people by nature, and they won’t let things bother them for a long time.
Cancer (June 21st – July 20th)
Cancer can get hurt easily because of its caring and loving nature. They give all their hearts to other people and expect them to do the same.
If you fail to reciprocate, a Cancer will usually go into passive-aggressive mode i.e. they will avoid talking to you. If you fail to notice their subtle signs they can withdraw from the relationship altogether.
However, even when they are deeply hurt and say they don’t want to see you anymore, deep down, they want to know you will fight for them. If you go after them they will forgive you, but not immediately.
Leo (July 23rd – August 22nd)
Leo is another fiery sign. When they get angry, they burn instantly and ferociously.
If you see someone screaming and throwing things – this is angry Leo. They might also say things to you that they don’t mean in order to hurt you even more.
However, they are quick to cool off and after a few hours, they can act like nothing happened.
Virgo (August 23rd – September 22nd)
The most patient sign in the Zodiac is definitely Virgo. They hate conflicts; they prefer dealing with the problem by themselves.
Even if they are not easily angered, if you do manage to anger them they will go silent, even passive-aggressive like Cancer, to let you know that you hurt them.
If what you did was very bad, they may not recover from the hurt and you will lose them. Otherwise, give them time. They forgive, but it takes time to trust you again.
Libra (September 23rd – October 22nd)
Libra is the peacekeeper in the Zodiac. They, like Virgo, don’t like confrontation and things getting out of control. They want balance in their life more than anything.
If an argument occurs, however, don’t expect a Libra to participate in it. They will be at the door leaving as soon as a confrontation starts, probably shouting a few words on the way out.
They are masters of the poker face. So, you can never tell when they are angry. This sign never forgets anything and they can use all the information they have against you later on.
Scorpio (October 23rd – November 21st)
When it comes to Scorpios, their eyes really are the mirror of their souls. So, if you anger them – it will show in their eyes first.
They may try to calm themselves at first, but they just can’t. If they have an outburst with you, you can consider yourself lucky. You should be careful when they go silent – for you can be sure they are plotting revenge against you.
It’s best to give them space and wait for them to come to you – nothing annoys them more than suffocating.
Sagittarius (November 22nd – December 21st)
This sign is very tolerant and knows how to keep their cool when dealing with a stressful situation. You don’t need to worry that a Sagittarius will burst out on you.
However, there are things that can get them mad, such as disloyalty, betrayal, and lying. If they do get angry they will become very sarcastic towards you.
They also need time to decompress and solve the mess in their heads first. But, watch out! For they sometimes can create problems out of boredom.
Capricorn (December 22nd – January 19th)
This sign has a very rigid moral code and high standards. If you fail to meet them they can get angry and disappointed.
However, they don’t want conflicts or wasting their energy on anger. They are masters of bottling up their feelings, so when the ‘explosion’ occurs – you better run for your life.
They will cool off right away, but don’t expect them to forgive you easily.
Aquarius (January 20th – February 18th)
If someone can’t stand arguments and fights – is this sign. They don’t want to go emotional, so when a fight occurs they would rather escape in nature than sit there in a middle of an emotional situation.
If you manage to make them face the situation, be prepared for a good, classy debate.
However, sometimes they can just disappear from your life without a warning if they decide the relationship is not worth repairing.
Pisces (February 19th – March 20th)
Emotions run deep in this water sign. They, out of all Zodiac signs, are most likely to start crying out of anger and frustration.
They don’t like to fight and they will usually go out for a drive rather than deal with the situation.
When it comes to forgiving, Pisces hold grudges to those that don’t mean anything to them. If you are someone they love and respect – they will come around.
We all have intuition. As a women, me personally I have used my intuition in many cases and I’ve never been wrong. Intuition has also been studied by researchers.
The newest book written by Gerd Gigerenzer, “Gut feelings: The intelligence of the unconscious” proves this.
Gigerenzer, who is a director at Max Planck Institute for Human Development, says that intuition is instinctively recognizing and understanding the information which is needed to solve the problem instead of definitely knowing the solution of the given situation from previous experience.
In “Gut Feelings: The intelligence of the unconscious” he says that he himself is intuitive and rational. He believes that in his scientific work a gut feeling brings him the answer very often.
According to him, sometimes one cannot explain why something is right and it’s just the feeling that brings you to the realization.
Even in his private life, he admits that it is best to rely on your instinct. A good example is his first encounter with his wife. Namely, when he meet her, he recalls that he was not overthinking neither calculating anything – he just had a feeling.
One of his readers, Joy Boleda, asked him a question that intrigued him and made him tell this story. The question was:
Gerd Gigernzer answered that his instinct tells him to say yes, even more when it comes to talking about people who are curious and seek knowledge and changes in their way of thinking.
Simply put, if you are waiting for an answer sitting and doing nothing just waiting for the instinct to give you the answer you are not exercising your intelligence. But if you think about and go over different possible solutions, than you are training your intelligence and your gut feeling will give you the answer to the right solution for you.
Actually, many people think of intuition as a form of collective intelligence. Just take a look how web pages evolved over time. They used to be made of a lot of information put together on one page. However, today they are very intuitive to use and you can easily access the information you need. This way of organizing web pages was introduced by several web designers at approximately same time who selected the most important information.
Theo Humphries defines intuitive design as design that could be understood by most of people without any extra explanation for it. This makes sense. You know how most people find some objects easy to understand and others not?
Humphries, too considers himself a believer in the potential of controlled and well trained intuition. According to him, if you want someone to believe in your intuition you need to use your brain, think a lot and share your ideas and arguments with others.
On top of all, you should never be static and always be on the move searching for new things and ideas. If you are static and stuck in your comfort zone, no one will believe in your intuition.
Theo adds that intuition works better if you investigate more and when you stay hungry for learning and researching new ideas and solutions. That’s how you train your mind to be intuitive.
This is what Albert Einstein had said on this matter:
Many times, we find ourselves in a situation where we have a bad feeling for something. These situations can be caused by someone who has influenced us, or by our side, as well. In these situations the only thing that can save us is intuition. If you have a bad feeling about something, you should never ignore your intuition, no matter how badly you need or want to go towards that thing.
Intelligent people always listen to their intuition. The biggest geniuses in history have never ignored their feelings, in fact they have always known what they feel about something and they have trusted their intuition.
That’s why they have better judgment in certain situations. They wouldn’t become the intellectuals they are and stand out above others without following their intuition.
Happiness is a way of life, an attitude toward life that is designed to let you experience the positive outlook on your life and your actions. This kind of happiness takes time to build, but once you’ve got into the habit of living a happy life, you can never go back to the queue for the illusory happiness.
Being happy means taking a full control over your life and living it to the fullest. So, here are the things genuinely happy people do that unhappy people tend not to.
Focus on what you have, not on what you don’t.
Gratitude is the first step to realizing that you are already a happy person. There are so many things that you have if you decide to look around you. Being unthankful and paying no value to these things will eventually leave you without them.
Happy people realize that one can never have everything. So, instead of focusing on the things that you don’t have, and dwelling over how ‘miserable’ your life is without them, you could take a look at your life and understand that you have already been blessed more than once.
Be realistic toward your expectations.
Expectations are the mother of all disappointment. Why? Because we often tend to rely on external sources without thinking that we are the only and most reliable source of happiness for ourselves.
You should always be realistic toward your expectations. If you have set them toward people, ask yourself if these expectations can really be met by someone (or something) that doesn’t owe you anything to make your life happier.
The best person to meet all your expectations is yourself. Do you know why? Because you know your limits and you set your expectations accordingly.
You have the power to change your life.
There is always something we will not like about our lives. Now, the question is: Will you complain, or will you try to set the course straight? Happy people choose the latter.
Your life is what you do with it. If you expect that it will magically change for the better, you are fooling yourself greatly. The reality is that if you don’t contribute to how your life looks like, you will end up in a dead end, and thus misery.
If you want something from life, you need to start working toward it, not just daydream about it. Take control over the situations and start creating some beneficial ones that will contribute to a goal you have set in your mind. Happiness is action.
Happiness has no destination.
While many think that happiness looks like some magical moment in the future where everything will be pink and colorful, the truth is that happiness doesn’t look like that at all. Happiness has no destination – it’s the ride itself that makes happiness possible.
Experiencing genuine happiness is understanding that life is full of ups and downs (like a roller-coaster). Your job is to enjoy the ride, not think of the destination.
Slow down.
You can’t smell the roses, you can’t see the beauties around you, and you can’t really enjoy life if you are on the run all the time. Slowing down is essential for a happy life. Devote a part of the day for doing nothing.
Don’t be surprised to see a happy person with a hobby. They all have one. It’s not only about the money and getting everything done – it’s also about giving some pleasure to your life that no money can give to you. Slow down and do something you’ve always wanted to do.
There are no shortcuts.
Easy come easy go. Everything in life that has come the easy way in, will easily go out as soon as you become numb to it. In truth, you will never learn the value and appreciate the fruits of whatever comes into your life unless you don’t work for it, earn it.
Getting an easy job, tricking your way into things, easy money – these are all shortcuts that will eventually leave you unaware of your worth and your abilities. In turn, you will never feel the happiness that comes out of getting things on a silver platter for no good reason, because there is no such happiness.
You are not entitled to anything.
You should never think that the things that come into your life are there because you deserve them unconditionally. You are not entitled to anything but what you make out of your life.
The truth is that no one owes you anything, you rip only what you have sowed and everything else is a bonus. So, work hard to giving yourself whatever you think you deserve. Deserve it.
Your life has significance.
Once you understand what your gifts and abilities are, you need to understand that your life has significance on every scale imaginable. A happy person will always try to leave the world better than they found it.
So, never stop improving and being good to your world. Your life has the potential to change many others for the better.
Be generous.
Selfish people are miserable. Generosity means opening your heart to the world. In turn, the world opens up to you. Being generous means that you find greater value for which you don’t hesitate to sacrifice something of a lesser value. Never stop being generous.
Do you know who gets the best out of forgiveness? If a person has hurt you, dwelling on the pain will cause only greater pain. This gives that person power over you long after they have done whatever they did.
Forgiving is letting go of the influence over you and taking the power into your own hands again. The best way to live happily is to move on. Nothing is permanent and nobody is perfect. If you can forgive and stay, do it. If not, just forgive and move on.
Happiness is an attitude. Attitude is a choice.
Choosing to have a great and positive attitude toward life is the key to happiness. You can let your feeling take control over you, and you can also take control over your life and your outlook on it. The latter is happiness.
Nobody’s life is easy and it’s because struggles make growth possible. Having a positive attitude while you are living it will make life more interesting to walk through.
Speak beauty.
If you don’t have anything good to say, don’t speak at all. It’s not because you are trying to ignore the negative bits of life, but because you know that munching on a bitter rubber will never solve any problem.
Choose words that are uplifting, encouraging, and full of positive energy. You need that energy to work on those bad bits and make them work out just right for you. Love life and don’t be afraid to show it – life is beautiful, no matter how much you’re trying to see it as dark.
There is nothing wrong in being single. So, why are so many people desperate to get into a relationship just not to be alone? I have a different opinion when it comes to relationships – one that includes being single as a way of living life at its fullest.
Focusing on yourself is important. Sometimes, this results in not having time for a relationship or even not wanting to date. And that’s okay.
There are girls who decide to be single until they’re in college or even later. I have friends who didn’t want to have a serious relationship until 25, some of them because of bad dates in the past and some who decided to focus on themselves instead.
And there are girls who want to take a break from dating for a different reason. No matter the reason, I salute all the girls who decide to stay away from relationships for a period. It takes courage to do this because there are always people who judge.
Taking a break from dating might seem like a bad idea for some, but it can actually turn out to be the best decision for some.
How many times have you felt like you don’t know what’s good for you? These are the moments when some alone time helps. That’s why girls who decide to take a break from dating end up happier afterwards.
These girls know how to be alone and they have grown to be independent. They are the ones who are the strongest during a crisis and the ones who are the bravest whenever a sacrifice needs to be made for a greater good.
Everyone need some time just for himself/herself. Girls who have decided to take a break from dating have had the time to focus on themselves. As a result, they don’t feel intimidated for their flaws, but they embrace them instead.
They have realized what’s important to them and know that they have to spent time with their friends and family. They are bold in making decisions about their future and don’t hesitate to use every chance they get. They are dreamers and they are brave enough to follow their dreams.
They don’t need a man to tell them what to do or how to live their life because they are independent and they have the confidence which is needed to succeed.
They end up happier because they respect themselves and are respected in return. Later, in a relationship, they know that love is much more than feeling butterflies in the stomach. They are aware that relationships also demand commitment and support.
These girls will never be in a relationship just not to be alone. They’re not afraid to be single and don’t care if they never get married because they know how to enjoy being alone. They are not desperate to find someone and don’t make mistakes because of that.
But when they find someone and decide to start dating again, they know it’s someone who is worth the time. They know that it’s someone who will make their life better and that will support them in everything. These girls want someone beside them who is a dreamer, just as they are.
They wouldn’t change themselves for anyone in the world and they don’t want to change others. They need inspiration and support and they will find someone who will give them that.
These girls want someone who will not make them lose their sense of individuality. So, their special someone will only push them forward. And this someone will only make them happier, although they are happy as they are.
You all know that person (or maybe you are that person) who would not trade coconut oil for anything in the world, and always has a jar of it in the kitchen.
Well, bad news for all in healthy food world and coconut oil lovers – the American Health Association reported that coconut oil might be unhealthy and even risky for your health. The author of the report says he has no idea how could anyone think that this product is healthy and become obsessed with something that contains very high quantity of saturated fat.
“Coconut oil isn’t healthy. It’s never been healthy,” screamed the viral headline which made the study public. This devastated the members of the wellness world who believed and swore in the miracles that this product provides them with.
Dr. Joel Kahn, a cardiologist and best-selling author says that he was concerned a long time with the extremely high amount of saturated fat. He doesn’t believe in fat-heavy diets. Instead, he encourages his patients to consume fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes.
However, every story has two sides. So, the inevitably question remains:
However, AHA cite don’t say that consuming coconut oil can increase the risk of heart diseases. No – they connect it to higher cholesterol numbers which doesn’t necessarily is a predicator of a higher stroke risk and heart attack.
Another best-selling author and a hormone expert, Dr. Sara Gottfried, states that many times before the AHA has encouraged low-fat diets. However, these low-fat diets have a downside – they can increase corpulence and can cause diabetes.
“I’m not a fan of blanket statements; the future of medicine is personalized to the individual based on the gene/environment interaction. Coconut oil is unusual in that it contains medium-chain triglycerides that are well-proven to speed metabolism and assist in fat loss. Another component is lauric acid, found in breastmilk, which is antimicrobial.”
The founder of Parsley Health, Dr Robin Berzin, explains that the AHA bases its advice on outdated sources that give a poor understanding of heart diseases and what role plays the cholesterol in them.
While many think that the problem is the high levels of LDL, the fact is the total number of LDL is of no importance – what matters is its composition – the size and shape of the particles.
Namely, the small, thick particles are the ones which can be connected to heart attacks. Contrary, the larger and fluffier ones – are not.
There is still a debate between eating saturated fat and eating fat.
A diet that contains high saturated fat and lacks fibers, but is full of sugars and refined carbohydrates, increases the production of small, thick LDL.
On the other hand, a diet consisting of a monounsaturated fats such as olive oil, and even saturated fat like in our case organic coconut oil, but does not contain any sugars and is high in fibers, can actually help us improve our cholesterol composition.
And while all doctors share this view, they all agree that we must be careful of how we consume the coconut oil.
A problem can arise when we mix coconut oil (and all saturated fats) with refined grains such as pasta, bread, or any food high in sugar. This ‘mix’ can increase the inflammatory effects of sugar in our body.
All in all, you know your body best and what food agrees with you. Coconut oil interacts differently in different people. It all depends of what you combine it with. For example, if you combine coconut oil with a high-sugar, high-refined-carb diet can lead to an increase of the bad cholesterol in your body along with inflammation.
So, if you are not ready yet to give up junk food and eat vegetables instead – avoid consuming coconut oil.
Moreover, you must figure for yourself what portion of coconut oil works for you. For some 1 to 2 tablespoons work just okay, but for some this amount causes them to gain weight.
The bottom line is – coconut oil can still be considered as healthy food because it contains medium-chain triglycerides and lauric acid. Only, we must be careful with what we mix it with and how much coconut oil do we need daily.
We are all different and we must find out by ourselves what works best for us.

Anxiety is something that many of us have experienced or will experience in their lives. It is not easy, and someone who has never felt its grip could never understand what you are going through.
It is known that one in four people in the world will have a mental disorder at some point in life.
Even though anxiety does not define us, it does affect our relationships with other people, and those who haven’t experienced it don’t know what it feels like and don’t know how they can help you.
Sometimes they fail to see that all a person in a middle of an anxiety attack needs is someone who listens and assures that everything will be okay.
A person living with anxiety lives in constant fear that their partner will abandon them. So, they try to push their loved ones away because they cannot stand the fact of being hurt. They always doubt everything; they just don’t believe that pure happiness and love exists.
Callie is a girl who suffers from anxiety. She is not immune to struggling and constant over-thinking which leads to imaginary scenarios in her head causing her and her partner Chris to fight constantly.
However, she strongly believes that the right one can’t be pushed away not matter how bad the situation gets.
In her post on Facebook, she explains her struggles to let everyone know that anxiety is real and having someone by your side to support you is essential. And no one should ever dismiss your struggles nor make you feel that you are overreacting. Luckily for her, her boyfriend Chris understands and supports her.
In her Facebook post, which went viral, she shares a text conversation between her and her boyfriend. It goes like this – She asks him “Are we okay?” “Very much so honey”, he responds. To this, she replies with “okay good” and three hearts. This is all she needed to calm down.
In her post, she explains the importance of finding a supportive and understanding partner who doesn’t ignore their feelings and struggles.
On the other hand, there is still a stigma against dating people with mental illnesses. A study in Evolutionary Psychological Science found out that people with mental illnesses were viewed as less attractive than those without them.
However, Callie and Chris’s love story is a proof that our personal struggles and worries are not something which can ruin our relationship as long as we know how to handle them.
Her post has now over 86,000 likes and more than 190,000 shares from people supporting her.
Her final advice is to take deep breaths which sometimes can be one of the hardest things to do. Also, love, patience, and communication are key factors to make relationships work. You may have anxiety, but anxiety doesn’t need to have you.
A couple came to amazing results after trying the oil pulling for dental care and their story raised numerous questions in the field of dentistry, some of which are connected to healing cavities and the probability of regeneration of teeth.
As the report states, the couple is strongly behind their claims about getting healthier and stronger teeth, right after trying this oil pulling and their claims go beyond that, their theory of replacing toothpaste with swishing coconut oil every day from 15 to 20 minutes was well supported with an explanation and proof that oil pulling has done wonders for this couple.
Their report would have been just another fraud on the Internet, however the experiment that the couple made and the results that they got makes their report something that it’s worth reading and trying as well.
The experiment have lead the couple to better teeth and they strongly believe that oil pulling have healed cavities and left their teeth in a much better condition than previously.
This is quite a statement, more of a revelation, especially if we bear in mind that it is opposing the orthodox dentistry which claims that cavities are a permanent damage of the teeth and such damage could not regenerate unless you decide to visit the dentist and undergo a dental procedure or filling your teeth.
So, led by these beliefs, people have no other option than choosing a good dentist and following the traditional medicine for repairing the teeth.
This is why the couple’s assertive claims are regarded as controversial, because not only did they go against the orthodox dentistry, but they also prove their experiment right by repairing their teeth and healing cavities, something that was never done in the orthodox dentistry history.
We know the old-fashioned dental care already. Go to the dentist, don’t forget and miss your regular appointments, schedule at least twice a year to check the condition of the teeth, reduce the sugar intake and you’ll be just fine.
Nowadays, the market is full with natural products which can help you in the process of lengthening the life of your natural teeth. Starting from natural mouthwash, toothpastes and even tooth brushes with natural hair, all of this provided in order to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the product on your natural teeth.
However, “natural” does not always mean good for that matter. Even natural toothpastes contain ingredients which are bad for our teeth, such as glycerin, sweeteners and fluoride. Besides the proper dental hygiene and buying the most suitable dental care product, your diet seems to affect your dental health more than you can ever imagine.
Poor diet, modern food, processed food loaded with sugar and chemicals can ruin your smile and there isn’t a single toothpaste nor the best dentist that can prevent that. Maybe it’s time we do something about it and the best cure comes from the ones who have truly taken the time to explore a certain area, apply their findings on themselves and share the results with us.
First of all, let’s discuss logic. Our bodies are designed in a way that every injury can heal itself because of the regeneration process of our bodies. If a broken bone can grow into a healthy one, then why not a damaged tooth grow into a healthy one?
It seems that we would rather believe that our teeth are incapable of healing themselves, then prove ourselves the other way around. True, we are mainly responsible for the health of our teeth, due to poor diet or neglecting our dental care, but what if we try everything the doctor ordered and we are still left with poor teeth and a tendency of getting worse and worse?
The solution can start with changing your whole diet, implementing more fruits and veggies, consuming good fat such as butter oil or cod liver oil, raw milk, plenty of whole foods, tasty meat. By doing so, it can lead you on a good path to improving your dental care and to stronger teeth, capable to fight off bacteria.
It’s a very logical way to think that teeth problems or tooth decay may be the product of our modern society or a product of agricultural era? When discussing about perfect teeth, if we may put it that way, we should be looking at the tribes who have no touch with modern society or as we may put it, are living in the pre-agricultural times.
For instance, a documentary in the early 1990’s portrays the lives of the ancient Kogi Indian tribe and the creator of this documentary Alan Ereira himself claimed that the members of this tribe had perfect teeth.
This may come as a shocker, because we are all aware of the fact that such tribes have no dental care or any time of medical help and yet, it’s proven that they have a longer life and most of all, they have a healthier life.
Their health level is much higher than the usual civilized citizen, without ever having the option to visit a doctor or a dentist.
This may be due to the fact that tribes have different sources of food and most importantly, their food is not derived from mineral-depleted soils, which of course is the case of our typical agricultural environment.
Another important moment, which strengthens these theories about perfect teeth in tribe people, is the significant work of Dr. Weston A. Price. He engaged himself by travelling the world and visiting various indigenous tribes.
On his journeys, he was investigating and comparing their dental health. Although people living in tribal groups have none health facilities, nor they have dentist to take care of their teeth, Dr. Price himself discovered and claimed that these people have truly got the perfect teeth. So, the question arises, what do these tribal groups do right and we mess it up?
Dr. Price found the real answer in their diet. Their natural diet, free of chemicals, toxins, is crucial and most important for their flawless teeth. Once Dr. Price introduced modern food to these people, to our disbeliefs, the degeneration of the dental health started.
He also concluded that the proper diet can lead to perfect teeth, but also cure or heal the cavities. He strongly believes and he has good proofs about the negative impact of modern food, mainly affecting the teeth and everything else.
It seems that oil pulling is something that it’s worth to be thoroughly investigated, because it clearly has a positive and amazing results on our teeth.
