<h2>Ever since boys turned 13, they have been talking about how many rounds you must put in to please a woman (especially this one), how extensive one's girth must be to impress, and the manly things one must say to get girls saying yes.</h2>

Pleasing a woman in bed is etched on every man's brain and even the best ones in bed are still insecure. So, they need to hear certain things in order to get over their insecurities.

Well, we spoke to a few men about what would drive them absolutely crazy (in a good way) in bed, and here are the ten top things a woman can say to get the best out of her man.

Communicating to him what you like is the easiest way to get the best out of him. When you whisper or moan that what he is doing feels absolutely great, it only serves to show him that he is on the right track. Good old gratitude and its benefits, really.

Okay, that tends to cause men to pump even harder, which leads to the end. But the truth is, it turns a man on like you won't believe. This statement communicates that he is doing exactly what makes you happy.

Studies have shown (okay, social media posts have shown) that many men are not good at kissing, apparently. Telling him he is good communicates to him that he is on the right track. Apart from that, it also helps heat things up since your man will definitely try to kiss better by making it that much more intense.

That primal growl of need is something that men love. The desperation in your voice for him to take you to another level of ecstasy is definitely something a man would love to hear. Add a bit of urgency to your voice and watch your partner want a lot more than foreplay.

Men love it when their women call out their names in the throes of passion. This is because they tend to feel encouraged about the fact that they are making you feel pleasure. Believe it or not, men need to be reassured that they are performing well, and communication is the key. So shout, moan or simply whisper his name into his ear and watch the passion soar.

Okay, this is not a statement, but still... While this is supposed to be embarrassing, most men wouldn't mind strutting that kind of reputation around; that he almost killed you. Haha. Learn to moan, my friend. Loudly.

Find something to focus your positive vibes on and tell him it was amazing whether after the act or even during. It all comes down to gratitude birthing more good things for you. Let's all agree that women hold the key to a lot of action in bed.

<h3>8. I never knew sex could be this good</h3>

Any man who is so lucky to have ever heard this from a woman will tell you they had the best sex ever. If you say this, any man will feel like you are inexperienced, which is equivalent to a big win on his part. It makes the man feel like a knight in shining armour.

If only men had a dollar for every time they wished you said this, they'd be millionaires. Although men hate to think that you are not a virgin, this line is often great to bolster a man's ego. Knowing that he is much better than the rest adds to the feeling that he is perfect and can make him feel even more pleasure.

Men barely ever allow other men to see them naked, and they hate to look at their fellow men naked compared to women. That is why men hate sharing a bed with a fellow man, also in comparison to women. This explains why most men don't know how big they are compared to other men. But they would love to learn that they are the biggest. So, you saying it to him will earn you lots of favours.

Ever since boys turned 13, they have been talking about how many rounds you must put in to please a woman (especially this one), how extensive one's girth must be to impress, and the manly things one must say to get girls saying yes. Pleasing a woman in bed is etched on every man's brain and even the best ones in bed are still insecure. So, they need to hear certain things in order to get over their insecurities.

10 statements every man wishes to hear in bed

The reason is that growing hair takes as much effort as it takes to be ripped. Going to the gym a few times won't have any noticeable effect on you, but relentlessness will. There are many natural techniques for you to enhance hair growth and thickness at home but you have to approach it like a person who wants to be ripped. It takes time, consistency and focus.

Here are our favorite tips to start your hair growth journey today.

This inexpensive hair remedy can double as a delicious cooking oil in your household. But applying the oil topically can actually protect damaged hair, and reduce loss of protein, or amino acids, which are essential for growth. Coconut oil can even possibly reverse the side effects of products containing harsh chemicals. Just massage a couple of tablespoons into your scalp and wash it off after an hour.

The key ingredient in yogurt is probiotics, which can increase growth and reduce damage. In a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3547054/?adclid=f3147c615d63e78245678c303782ae61">study</a>&nbsp;done on mice, yogurt made their fur more luxurious, and apparently the same goes for humans! However, don’t try to dip your hair in a bucket of yogurt. Just eating this snack daily can help promote healthy hair. Make sure to buy a plain variety, with added probiotics if possible.&nbsp;

This is not the best smelling remedy on our list, but it is an effective one. It can even possible treat patchy alopecia areata thanks to its phytochemical compounds. To extract the juice, strain half an onion and apply it to the scalp. Wash it off completely with a liberal amount of shampoo to get rid of the smell. Do this two times a week.

Stock up on those omega-3 fatty acids! Consuming fish oil in liquid or capsule form can promote hair growth because these supplements contain a precious resource called DHA, or docosahexaenoic acid. It proliferates dermal papilla cells within the scalp, which can even reverse thinning hair and issues with balding.&nbsp;

Most people don’t know that a cup of coffee can help them reach their hair goals. Caffeine can elongate the hair shaft and prolongs the anagen phase of hair growth, which can reduce balding or thinning. All you have to do is drink a cup of coffee per day! Just don’t overdo it with the refills, or the cream and sugar.&nbsp;

Essential oils are a common remedy for those who have trouble growing out their hair as desired. Rosemary oil is one of the more important essential oils to stimulate that grown and treat androgenetic alopecia. Simply mix a few drops of rosemary oil into a carrier oil to protect your skin, massaging it into the scalp and hair before rinsing it out. You can also buy shampoos and conditioners with rosemary oil as the main ingredient.

An egg yolk mask can help with a range of hair problems. Eggs contain a high amount of lecithin and protein, which both heal and nourish strands, making them as strong as possible. Eggs also contain a high sulfur content, which can help people suffering from dandruff. To make this mask, combine two eggs with two tablespoons of olive oil. Dilute with half a cup of water, which will also reduce stickiness. Apply it on dry hair that has been brushed, and leave for 30 minutes before shampooing off.&nbsp;

Hair: Natural ways to stimulate growth and thickness

All these diseases have one thing in common: they occur due to prolonged exposure to these three modifiable lifestyle behaviours, namely, smoking, unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity.&nbsp;

The implication is that if you stay away from the three factors mentioned above that cause lifestyle diseases, it is a big step toward diabetes prevention. Something to keep at the back of ones mind.

However, it is easier said than done. City life and some occupations cause people to be inactive for instance and eating healthy doesn't come naturally for everyone. But being in the know is the beginning of the journey.

It is also worth noting that type 2 diabetes is the most common form of the disease and it comes from how one lives. Therefore, lifestyle changes can help prevent the onset of the most common form of diabetes.

If you are currently dealing with excess weight or obesity, high cholesterol, or a family history of diabetes, prevention is especially important for you because you are at an increased risk of type 2 diabetes.

Also, experts say that if you have been diagnosed with prediabetes (high blood sugar that doesn't reach the threshold of a diabetes diagnosis) lifestyle changes can prevent or delay the onset of disease.

Making a few changes in your lifestyle now may help you avoid the serious health complications of diabetes in the future, such as nerve, kidney and heart damage.

In a study where several people lost approximately 7% of their body weight due to exercise and diet, they reduced their risk of developing diabetes by a almost 60%. Experts recommend that people with prediabetes lose at least 7% to 10% of their body weight to prevent disease progression.

There are many benefits to regular physical activity. Exercise can help you lose weight, lower your blood sugar and boost your sensitivity to insulin — which helps keep your blood sugar within a normal range.

Goals for most adults to promote weight loss and maintain a healthy weight include:

<ul><li>Aerobic exercise.&nbsp;Aim for 30 minutes or more of moderate to vigorous aerobic exercise — such as brisk walking, swimming, biking or running — on most days for a total of at least 150 minutes a week.</li><li>Resistance exercise.&nbsp;Resistance exercise — at least 2 to 3 times a week — increases your strength, balance and ability to maintain an active life. Resistance training includes weightlifting, yoga and calisthenics.</li><li>Limited inactivity.&nbsp;Breaking up long bouts of inactivity, such as sitting at the computer, can help control blood sugar levels. Take a few minutes to stand, walk around or do some light activity every 30 minutes.</li></ul>

Plants provide vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates in your diet. Carbohydrates include sugars and starches — the energy sources for your body — and fiber. Dietary fiber, also known as roughage or bulk, is the part of plant foods your body can't digest or absorb.

Fiber-rich foods promote weight loss and lower the risk of diabetes. Eat a variety of healthy, fiber-rich foods, which include:

<ul><li>Fruits, such as tomatoes, peppers and fruit from trees</li><li>Nonstarchy vegetables, such as leafy greens, broccoli and cauliflower</li><li>Legumes, such as beans, chickpeas and lentils</li></ul>

Whole grains, such as whole-wheat pasta and bread, whole-grain rice, etc.

Fatty foods are high in calories and should be eaten in moderation. Experts explain that to help lose and manage weight, your diet should include a variety of foods with unsaturated fats, sometimes called "good fats."

Unsaturated fats promote healthy blood cholesterol levels and good heart and vascular health. Sources of good fats include:

<ul><li>Olive, sunflower, safflower, cottonseed and canola oils</li><li>Nuts and seeds, such as almonds, peanuts, flaxseed and pumpkin seeds</li><li>Fatty fish, such as salmon, mackerel, sardines, tuna and cod</li></ul>

Saturated fats, the "bad fats," are found in dairy products and meats. These should be a small part of your diet. You can limit saturated fats by eating low-fat dairy products and lean chicken and pork.

Experts recommend routine screening with diagnostic tests for type 2 diabetes for all adults age 45 or older.

They also recommend regular checks for the following groups:

<ul><li>People younger than 45 who are overweight or obese and have one or more risk factors associated with diabetes</li><li>Women who have had gestational diabetes</li><li>People who have been diagnosed with prediabetes</li><li>Children who are overweight or obese and who have a family history of type 2 diabetes or other risk factors</li></ul>

Lifestyle diseases occur due to prolonged exposure to these three modifiable lifestyle behaviours, namely, smoking, unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity.

This nutrient is found in a lot of food items like bread, potato, rice, pasta, oats, bananas, etc.

While foods rich carbohydrates like rice, potatoes, posho and matoke are very popular within Ugandan communities, there are some dieticians that have given carbs a lot bad press with many blaming carbs as the main cause of weight gain.

Experts say that if you are looking to lose weight, cutting down the quantity of carbohydrate intake may not be a great idea. However, limiting consumption of highly processed foods like cookies, sodas, mayonnaise, chips and so on may be the right move. But cutting down carbs may cause you more harm than good.

Here is how you can tell that you may be carbs-deficient:

Carbs are the body's main source of fuel. So, if you reduce your carb intake significantly, you'll likely notice a depletion of your energy levels. Carbohydrates are able to provide a more rapid source of&nbsp;energy&nbsp;to enable us to function optimally, both cognitively and physically.

The brain requires&nbsp;glucose, which is broken down from carbs, to function optimally. So, when you haven't consumed enough carbs, you may find yourself in a bad mood and struggle to concentrate. Consuming carbs alongside protein helps to support the production of tryptophan, which is then converted into serotonin, also known as the happy hormone.

<h3>Digestion issues</h3>

When all sources of carbohydrates are removed, the digestive system is often the first indicator things are not quite right. This usually manifests in the form of constipation or diarrhoea. The key nutrient to maintaining healthy bowels and digestion is fibre. Both soluble and insoluble forms of fibre help to remove waste and regulate the speed of digestion and bowel transit time. Although some fibre can be obtained by non-starchy vegetables, it is much more difficult for people following a low carbohydrate diet to meet their daily fibre requirements.

<h3>Constant hunger and food cravings</h3>

When a significant amount of carbohydrate food is removed from the diet, you might be left feeling a great sense of hunger. This can be due to the removal of the carbohydrates themselves, or it could actually be due to a reduced amount of total energy (calories) to allow your brain and body requires to operate optimally.

Sweet potatoes are probably the number one source of carbs for Ugandans

Some dieticians have given carbs a lot bad press with many blaming carbs as the main cause of weight gain.

Strong signs you aren't eating enough carbohydrates regularly

Recurrent pregnancy loss is generally described as the unintended loss of two or more consecutive pregnancies before the 20th week.

These pregnancies get identified on an ultrasound, or the pregnant tissue gets discovered after the pregnancy loss.

Once a recurrent pregnancy loss is diagnosed, the couple must undergo a series of tests, some of which are very special and must be performed in specialised laboratories, to determine the cause. Most pregnancy losses are due to chromosomal or genetic abnormalities that could be caused by the egg, the sperm, or the early embryo.

According to experts, the predicted risk of miscarriage in the future is 20% after one miscarriage, and it increases to 28% after two miscarriages and 43% after three or more miscarriages.

Sadly, doctors can only determine the cause of miscarriage in 70% of the instances leaving other 30% of recurrent pregnancy losses undefined. Doctors, constantly encourage our patients to be positive because even after one or two losses, the third pregnancy may be uneventful and result in a healthy baby.

Studies show that approximately 65% of women who experience unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss have a successful subsequent pregnancy. It is advised that both partners remain positive and go to the doctor for testing to establish the problem.

<h3>Causes of miscarriage in the first, second, and third trimester</h3>

Various factors can lead to the cause of miscarriage in the first, second, and third trimester - a few of them are:

<ol><li>Uterine Problems</li><li>Immunologic Factors</li><li>Hormonal Disorders</li><li>Genetic Abnormalities</li></ol>

The first-trimester miscarriage can occur when the uterus is abnormal. The miscarriage could be caused by a lack of blood supply during the pregnancy or by inflammation. Some women are born with an irregularly shaped uterus, and some develop uterine abnormalities over time.

To determine the cause of the miscarriage, a 3D Ultrasound of the uterus must be conducted. A woman's immunity may also play a vital role in recurrent pregnancy loss. Diabetes and thyroid disease, for instance, can both cause pregnancy loss due to hormonal imbalances. Pregnancy loss may also be affected by a mother's blood clotting abnormalities. Proper counselling before conception and detailed history taking in these cases help doctors discover the cause and rectify it.

A miscarriage in the second or third trimester can be caused by autoimmune diseases, uterine abnormalities, or a superficial infection in the uterus or cervix, sometimes resulting in premature births. Proper review and screening for autoimmune illnesses, also known as antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, is required since it is often a prevalent cause of these fatalities.

Late miscarriages are often caused by a severe condition such as placental separation due to many medical causes, which can reoccur at a very high rate in later pregnancy.

Although the reason for a miscarriage is frequently unclear, doctors say that many of the previously identified risk factors can be addressed or eliminated. For example, eating a good, balanced diet, reducing caffeine intake, losing weight before pregnancy if overweight or obese, remaining active, and not drinking, smoking, or taking illicit substances can minimize the chance of miscarriage.

<ul><li>Check for any sexually transmitted infections between you and your partner and always use barrier contraception during treatment.</li><li>Aside from that, be wary of threatened abortion, a condition in which symptoms point to a possible miscarriage.</li><li>In such a case, it's critical to implement measures such as bed rest, avoiding heavy weightlifting, avoiding sexual intercourse, treating the underlying condition, and providing pregnancy support physically and mentally.</li></ul>

Recurrent pregnancy loss is generally described as the unintended loss of two or more consecutive pregnancies before the 20th week

Causes and treatment for recurrent pregnancy loss

Below are the four groupings of food that play crucial roles in the better functioning of your body and organs, which then results in a long life.

<h3>Soy, tea, and vegetables boost cardiovascular health</h3>

For the body to maintain a long healthy life it needs to be able to form new blood vessels and keep cellular growth in check. If this does not happen, then the body might be at risk of developing cancer or other serious diseases, according to experts.

A proper diet and nutrition is a must to ensure that the body continues to function normally for as long as you live. This is how you can increase longevity.

Nutritionists say, the most effective foods that will help your body ward off cancer and maintain heart health are:

<ul><li>Soy</li><li>Black raspberries</li><li>Tomatoes</li><li>Tea</li><li>Pomegranates</li><li>Licorice</li><li>Beer</li><li>Cheese</li></ul>

There's mounting evidence for the power of these foods. Experts say that Asians are known to consume lots of soy, vegetables, and tea and that is why they have a significantly lower risk for developing breast and other cancers.

<h3>Fish helps regenerate stem cells</h3>

The main job of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thehealthsite.com/diseases-conditions/expert-answers-5-faqs-about-stem-cell-therapy-856240/">stem cells</a>&nbsp;of the body is to repair, regenerate and maintain the tissues. They reside in the organs, bone marrow, liver, lungs and gut. Their performance can be affected by the types of food you consume. Fatty fish is one the most powerful foods that aid in regeneration.

Research from the University of Montreal demonstrating states that a diet rich in fish oil increases the production of stem cells that are linked to better circulation in oxygen-deprived muscles.

Other foods that spur regeneration include flavonoid-rich dark chocolate, black tea, beer, red wine, mangoes, and olive oil.

<h3>Antioxidant-rich foods can protect DNA</h3>

To live a longer and healthier life, you're going to want to load up on the foods that repair and maintain the health of your DNA. The foods that support robust DNA repair and slow&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thehealthsite.com/news/know-how-diet-can-aid-in-healthy-cellular-ageing-in-women-ag0818-595956/">cellular aging</a>&nbsp;are those rich in nutrients with antioxidant properties like vitamins A, C, D, E, beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein, and selenium.

Such foods include:

spinach, kale, and other leafy greens, carrots, broccoli, oranges, berries, red peppers, lentils, navy beans, eggs, sardines, almonds, flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, coffee, tea, soy, and spices like turmeric.

<h3>Fermented food boosts microbiome</h3>

Ensuring a healthy&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thehealthsite.com/parenting/childrens-health-parenting/a-note-for-parents-its-important-to-rev-up-your-kids-gut-microbiome-723656/">microbiome</a>&nbsp;is important for maintain longevity. Along with knowing what to eat to boost the microbiome, you should also know what not to eat to disrupt its functions.

Remove foods like refined sugar and artificial sweeteners from your diet. The bacteria in your gut which is known as the microbiome plays a crucial role in strengthening the body's immune system.

Foods that benefit the microbiome are kiwifruit, sourdough, dark chocolate, fibre-rich beans, yoghurt, to name a few.

It is what you eat not genetic that determines how long you live

4 nutrients that will make you live longer

Having said that, some people like athletes prefer white rice as it is a great carbohydrate choice.&nbsp;Others prefer it because&nbsp;it has a longer shelf life and and it is far less expensive to purchase.

White rice&nbsp;is more prevalent because most&nbsp;people prefer&nbsp;it. It is lighter, doesn't require as much chewing, and tastes better when combined with other foods. Which explains why most people, when they go grocery shopping, will most likely come back home with white rice as opposed to brown.

For this reason, it is safe to say that it highly likely that the rice you consume regularly is white rice. Which is why you need to know how it might be negatively affecting you.

Experts say that white rice happens to have a very high glycemic index (GI) of 64, causing it to turn into blood sugar more rapidly than brown rice. The glycemic index (GI) is a measurement of how quickly your body converts carbohydrates into sugars that can be absorbed. Low-GI foods appear to be healthier for persons with type 2 diabetes, as they generate a slow but steady rise in blood sugar levels. Foods with a higher GI, like white rice, might induce fast rises in blood sugar, explains a study published in the&nbsp;Nutrition Journal.

<h3>Elevates metabolic syndrome risk</h3>

People who consume big amounts of white rice on a regular basis have a higher chance of developing&nbsp;metabolic syndrome, according to a study published in&nbsp;The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The term "metabolic syndrome" refers to a group of risk factors that can increase your risk of developing health problems like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and stroke. However, the link between it and heart disease is still unknown.

White rice has often been linked to unwanted weight gain. Since it is considered a refined grain and has been stripped of its bran and germ, white rice is considered bad for people trying to lose weight. While many studies have linked refined grain diets to obesity and weight gain, when it comes to white rice, the evidence is mixed. For example, some studies have linked refined grain diets, such as white rice, to weight gain, belly fat, and obesity, while others have shown no link. White rice appears to be neither harmful nor beneficial to weight loss. However, diets heavy in whole grains, such as brown rice, have been demonstrated to improve weight loss and help maintain a healthy body weight more consistently.

White rice has several benefits that we have covered before in here https://www.pulse.ug/lifestyle/food-travel/white-rice-why-and-how-it-may-not-be-great-for-your-health/my1h9ry and it is criticized for its lack of nutritional value.

However, it's not all bad. For instance, people who eat a low fibre diet or experience nausea or heartburn may find white rice better to digest.

While brown rice is a better option due to its high nutritional value, white rice if eaten in moderation won't be as harmful.

Most people, when they go grocery shopping, will most likely come back home with white rice as opposed to brown.

Side effects of  regularly eating white rice

If you really want to get people listening in or watching, there are simple tips to follow to build a following and smile straight to the bank.

Here are five tips for a successful podcast according to experienced podcasters.

<ol><li>Keep the topic simple.&nbsp;You should be able to explain what your podcast series is about in one sentence: The shorter, the better. A podcast with focus is going to be much easier for potential listeners to understand. You might think a wide appeal will get a wider audience but more often a narrow appeal means there’s less likelihood others are doing the same thing. And the listeners you get will be very excited to find you.</li><li>You don’t need to script out every word, but make a “rundown.”&nbsp;I think of it as a safety net. What am I going to say first, who am I going to introduce and then how will I transition into our topics? And what will the topics be? You can just have bullet points to remind you what to do when, but having the order of events is a big help in keeping the show organized and limiting the editing.</li><li>Be consistent.&nbsp;Weekly is sometimes held up as the ideal for podcasts. Listeners become loyal when you make your show a habit for them. If they never know when they’re going to get it they’re more likely to skip it and eventually unsubscribe. In podcasting showing up really is half the battle.</li><li>Include the audience.&nbsp;An audience that can tell you’re listening and feels like a part of the show will not only stick around but they’ll tell others. Including the audience can take many forms, like answering questions by email, having a slack community, reading tweets or all kinds of other ways. Find out how your community of listeners wants to talk to you, listen to them and then acknowledge them, by name if you can, in the show.</li><li>Ask each other questions.&nbsp;I mean obviously if you’re interviewing people you’ll ask them questions but if you have a regular co-host, asking questions is a great way to spur more interesting conversations. They may be questions you know the answer to. But the audience may not!</li></ol>

What many don't know is that carrots have a positive effect on men's overall health, and specifically great for men's sexual health.

Here are few ways in which regular consumption of carrot can help men:

<h3>Increased sperm count and improved sperm health</h3>

Since carrots are rich in antioxidants, vitamin E and beta-carotene, eating them helps to prevent sperm damage and boost sperm health. The nutrients in carrot help to increase sperm count and also maintain sperm health in men. Studies suggest that men who eat carrots regularly are able to produce more sperms and they are of better quality. These sperms have better mobility (ability to swim faster) and help in conception too. Eating carrots can also improve sperm count too.

Most men experience erectile disfunction as they get older, though the severity of the condition might differ from one man to the other. Usually, low potassium level and reduced level of Vitamin E are associated with the advent of erectile dysfunction. Also, constriction of blood vessels that hamper the smooth circulation of blood can also be one of the reasons behind this condition.

A diet rich in potassium and vitamin E can help to fight symptoms of ED. Carrots contain a good amount of potassium and Vitamin E and can help to supplement your diet with the essential mineral and vitamin thereby reducing the effects of ED. Antioxidants in carrots also slow down the aging process and thus help in age-related erectile dysfunction.

However, there are risks associated with overdoing it. Eating too much ginger may cause digestive issues and irritation, among other problems so tread gingerly.

Here are some of the risks that come with consuming too much ginger:

Heartburn is one of the most common risks of eating too much ginger. This is confirmed in a January 2020 review in ​<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7019938/">Nutrients</a>​, which took a comprehensive look at the health effects of ginger. Heartburn was a reported symptom in 16 of the 17 studies reviewed.

Ever drink ginger juice and feel a burning sensation in your mouth or throat? This may be caused by the compound gingerol — which is a structurally similar cousin to the capsaicin that gives peppers their kick, according to the​ Journal of Ethnopharmacology​ . You definitely don't want to overdo it.

Just as ginger may help ease symptoms of nausea and vomiting, eating too much ginger can actually cause diarrhoea, gas and general stomach discomfort in some people, according to experts.

The January 2020 ​Nutrients​ study also found that some people in the studies complained of nausea as a result of taking ginger, even though they were taking the ginger as a natural remedy for nausea.

Additionally, some evidence suggests that ginger may increase the flow of bile, a secretion that helps your body break down fat, according to an April 2013 article in ​<a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23364205/">Food &amp; Function</a>​. For people with gallstones, which are affected by bile secretions, this may make symptoms due to gallstones more likely.

Finally, large amounts of ginger may slightly increase your bleeding risk because of its active blood-thinning compounds, according to an October 2015 review in ​<a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26488162/">PLOS One</a>​. While the review noted mixed results in human studies, NCCIH notes that concerns, while not yet proven, have been raised.

"Those who are on blood-thinning medications should consult with their doctor," Brown says, "as there can be adverse reactions to consuming ginger while on anticoagulants."

Ginger is indeed beneficial to the body, but only in moderation.

Ginger's benefits are undeniable but consuming more than 5 grams a day may turn against you.

Apparently, women are at higher risk of illnesses that are debilitating than men but they can reduce the risk by eating more bright-colored fruits and vegetables, as suggested by a new study.

The study done by University of Georgia recommends that women should eat fruits and <a href="https://www.thehealthsite.com/fitness/diet/decoding-the-health-benefits-of-vegetables-according-to-their-colour-687923/">vegetables</a> that are high in pigmented carotenoids like yams, kale, spinach, watermelon, bell peppers, tomatoes, oranges and carrots. These bright-colored fruits and vegetables are particularly helpful in preventing visual and <a href="https://www.thehealthsite.com/diseases-conditions/diseases-conditions-womens-health/women-with-cognitive-decline-at-a-higher-risk-of-fractures-and-bone-loss-827702/">cognitive loss,</a> they said.

Women experience illnesses that are debilitating, such as <a href="https://www.thehealthsite.com/diseases-conditions/eye-condition/warning-signs-of-sight-loss-retinal-measurements-may-help-predict-risk-of-amd-851468/">macular degeneration</a> and dementia, at much higher rates than men. They account for two-thirds of the total macular degeneration and dementia cases in the world, according to experts. They also account for nearly 80 per cent of all the autoimmune diseases taken together and that is why they need to eat a lot better than men.

<h2>Why women are prone to degenerative problems </h2>

According to science, compared to men, women have more body fat, which serves as a reservoir for many dietary vitamins and minerals, which are useful during pregnancy. However, it leads to deficiency of these nutrients for the retina and the brain, making women susceptible to degenerative problems.

<h2>Eating more bright-colored fruits </h2>

Diet high in pigmented carotenoids acts as antioxidants in the body, said the researchers. Specially two carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin, which are found in specific tissues of the eye and brain, are known to reduce central nervous system degeneration.

Hammond said that the requirements of these carotenoids are much higher for women.

You can also get carotenoids via supplements, but Hammond said getting them through food is better.
