12 Years Ago They Were Called The World’s Most Beautiful Twins – Now Look At Them

 


Once dubbed as the “most beautiful twins in the world” now have over 1.8M followers!

Jaqi Clements, the lucky mother of the two beautiful daughters told BuzzFeed that the girls’ Instagram took off quickly after it was created.

When they were born, they were given the nickname “beautiful”.




“Around six months they already had nearly 150,000 followers. It was at that time that the Daily Mail published an article on them,” she was quoted as saying.

Soon, their account expanded over 1 million followers, which is currently at 1.8M and growing blazing fast.

“This past year has been really fun and exciting for Ava and Leah. Whether it be private shopping experiences, gifted merchandise from brands all over the world, or taking pictures with fans, the girls have had an amazing ride so far. Of course, what’s most important to them is the friends they’ve made along the way,” she said earlier this year.



Every mother wants the best for her children, and Clements makes sure that her kids do good in school and have fun as all kids should for their health and wellbeing.

“Any jobs that they book through Instagram I schedule on weekends or right after school so that they don’t have to miss any class. If they book a job through their agency, there is a teacher on set to help them with their school work,” she said.

Every time the girls have to work they have to drive two hours to Los Angeles.

“If they only work for a few hours, sometimes I’ll surprise them and plan lunch or dinner or even just a fun little outing with one of their friends up in LA,” she said, according to the report. “On days they aren’t working, they go to school and then usually go to swim practice, dance class, or play outside with their friends in the neighborhood,” she added.

When the girls turned 7 years old, their mother knew that she had to sign the girls with a modelling agency.

“Aside from the fact that I’m a huge believer in signs and have been told by almost everyone that 7 is a lucky number, I just had a feeling that this year was going to be a fun and exciting year for them,” the Daily Star reported, quoting Jaqi.

Every mother is lucky to have a child, but when God gave beauty to these two little angels, he forgot to stop!

We hope the two beautiful sisters have a happy childhood filled with games, play and carelessness!

Pregnant Woman Sees An Angel Kissing Her Unborn Child In Sonogram

 



Five month into her pregnancy, Shantel Carrillo posted an image on her social media profiles of an ultrasound photo of her unborn child. Some congratulated her in the comments section, but others noticed something strange: “it looks like a person is kissing the baby on the photo.” When she got a closer look, it took her breath away, she told Inside Edition.

Looking at the photo she realized the angel kissing her baby was somehow familiar. Looking closer, it was not even a question. It was her deceased father. “It was honestly like a punch in the chest, like, how awesome it was to see that. It’s nice to look at and it’s a great story to tell,” noted Carrillo, who immediately got a hold of her dad’s old photograph with her first daughter.



The resemblance of the images is uncanny. In the video below it’s clear as a blue sky that the images are almost the same. “It has his nose, his little chubby cheeks, his little double chin, and my dad wore a hat like all the time. It looks like the bill of his hat and his lips are just touching hers so perfectly,” she told Fox5.

Carrillo’s father passed away from a heart attack back in 2016. But his daughter is now sure that his soul looks after them. When they asked her if she really thinks her father is in that ultrasound image she said: “I can’t really think of it as any other way, if you knew my dad he loved to be the center of attention. Makes me feel like he is watching over my new daughter. It’s just a beautiful thing.”

A Study Reveals: Your Body Knows When Death Is Near, And It All Begins In The Nose

Death of a loved one can hit us hard. It leaves us feeling lost and dejected in life. It is the most difficult thing in the world to cope from as it leaves a mark on us mentally, emotionally and spiritually.


You can’t just expect to cope from it in a day. It takes time to heal what is broken by the loss of the loved one. It even takes years to fully come out of the mental trauma you must have endured during that time.

However, some may argue it is a coincidence, while others are confident – people know when death is near.

It is natural to try and understand the death of someone we love or just imagine what happens in those final moments. Scientists know when someone dies, the body immediately begins to disintegrate.

Putrescine, for example, is a foul and toxic scent; the result of decomposition. Researchers have come to realize humans subconsciously recognize this putrefying odor. Not only that, the scent, when released, causes an immediate response.

Animals have the ability to smell the odour of others, causing them to react accordingly.

This is identical to sensing danger, whether from a predator or stronger and bigger animal from their pack.



A study conducted by Arnaud Wisman from the University of Kent’s School of Psychology in Canterbury, UK and Ilan Shira from the Department of Behavioral Sciences in Arkansas’ Tech University in Russellville, AK have discovered animals and humans might not be so different after all.

The ability to detect chemical scents is part of survival across the species. The warning of death is revealed through smell to humans.



Putrescine is a foul-smelling organic chemical compound that is related to cadaverine; both are produced by the breakdown of amino acids in living and dead organisms -meaning it is a chemical compound released when a body decays.

It also has a secondary function as a warning signal. People have both a conscious and subconscious reaction when they are exposed to this odour.


There were four different experiments conducted using putrescine, ammonia, and water to study people’s reaction.

One of the experiments included putrescine exposed at a site, people’s immediate response was to move away from the area.



This is the same response around fight-or-flight reaction.

When animals sense they are in real danger, there are only two responses: fight the threat or run away from it. The study revealed people react the same.



There are other odours humans respond to as well like sweat.

Separate studies have shown that sweat taken from people in fearful situations and exposed for others to smell generated an automatic and startled reflex.



“We do not know why we like (or dislike) someone’s smell, and we’re usually not aware of how scent influences our emotions, preferences, and attitudes,” explain Wisman and Shira.

“It is hard to think of a scent as frightening,” say other two leading researchers. These scents make people more aware and vigilant of their surroundings.



Humans’ natural reaction to danger is not to face it and fight.

People tend to avoid any type of confrontation, whether its physical or verbal. For the most part, people choose to distance themselves until fight is the only option on the table.



The responses may be different from each other but putrescine and sex pheromone are based on scent.

Sex pheromones are chemicals released by the body to attract a mate while putrescine works as a warning signal.

“Putrescine signals a different type of message than pheromones, but people’s responses to putrescine (avoidance and hostility) do seem indeed to be the opposite of responses to many sexual pheromones,” explain researchers.



During the study, people were not aware they had a negative reaction to the scent.

“People are not familiar with putrsescine and do not consciously associate it with death or fear,” admits Wisman and Shira.

Why Do Babies Smile While Sleeping?




Here are the main reasons why your little champ or princess is smiling even when they’re not in for the count.

1- Reflex action


The huge milestone of the first smile of a baby, is simply a reflex action. Research reveals that these little grins can occur from very early on, even before birth and need no external stimulus. They smile simply because the body does it as a reflex, like suck1ng, grasping and kicking. So even when mommy is dropping kisses and if the baby just happens to smile then it’s not because he’s exhibiting the same warmth, yet.

2- Passing gas

Another reason babies could smile is when the gas bubbles finally leave their tummies. Newborns tend to smile when passing gas.

3- REM cycle sleep

When babies are in REM sleep cycle or active sleep they may go through certain physiological changes that initiate involuntary movement in the body and one of them could be smiling or laughing.

4- Social smile

Between 6 to 8 weeks babies start to develop responses to interaction, which means you can coax a grin by tickling them or pulling silly faces. At this stage, their smiles are usually a genuine gesture of warmth to your attention.

5- Emotions

Infants start expressing their emotions from early on with their facial expression and voice. As their interaction with the world increases so does their response rate and behavior. If you notice your baby smiling in the sleep he’s most probably processing some happy emotions in his sleep.

6- Other medical causes

In rare cases, medical conditions like se1zure dis0rder, fits and c0nvulsions may cause unceasing laughter. If uncontrollable laughter is accompanied with weight loss, irregular sleep schedule and bouts of frequent irritability, it would be best to visit the doctor.

Why Do Babies Laugh While Sleeping?


1. Hypnagogic or dream laughter: Dreams are most vivid during REM and this controls the muscles for smiling in the babies which evokes bursts of laughter during sleep.

2. Adult attention: Toing and froing with the baby at a level where they can understand and making an intentional connection with them elicits laughter from them. Adult attention is like gold dust for the babies. They love adult attention and laughter is their kind payment.

3. Happiness: Babies don’t chase happiness, they’re happy. Studies show that babies wake up in a good mood every day. There is no one happier than a milk drunk newborn, woozy and snoozy after a stomach full feed and a big ear to ear grin.

How to maintain a baby’s sleep cycle?

With a newborn baby, sleepless nights are not news. There is a sea of books written about sleep training for the babies, but with the strategic few sleep training methods it’s easier to get the baby on a good sleep schedule. It’s very common for infants to wake up in the middle of the night for a few sessions of feeding and nursing but with time it’s promised to get better. Before getting started with sleep training it is imperative to make sure that you’ve a night time routine in place. 

1. Regular schedule: Put the babies to bed at an early and consistent time each night. This will help their bodies to associate a ‘shutting time’ every night and establish a calm and regular night routine.

2. Shush-pat technique: Since the little one is still trying to adjust to the environment outside the womb, prop the baby onto his side and recreate the baby whisper’s to gently put him to sleep in a safe environment.

3. Low-key night time care routine: When the baby needs care or feed in the middle of the night, keep the environment restrained in lighting, voice and movement. This will prevent overstimulation of the baby and convey them the message that it’s time to sleep.

4. Be a realistic parent: It’s easier to get bogged down by the exhaustion of the unplanned and sporadic sleep of the baby but remember to be patient and have realistic expectations from your energizer bunny. Snatch some pockets of sleep time for yourself from the baby’s sleeping pattern, because that might be the only rest you make for a while.

Conclusion

Dr A sues said,”Being person is a person no matter how small you are”

Smiling or laughing is an important developmental milestone. It’s an obvious indication that the child is growing physically and emotionally healthy. In most cases there is nothing to worry about, you can gush over your little honey bun smiling or laughing in their sleep.

But pay attention when any other unusual symptoms start showing along with the laughter, it’s usually a red flag for seeking medical attention. Smiling, kicking, squirming are responses that babies express to the external stimuli once they’re 6-8 weeks old. This helps the adults to start off by building a social and emotional connection with the babies.

That being said, it’s also important to remember that every child is different and so is developmental progress. If a child is not smiling or laughing then there is nothing worthy about it.

One Month Before A Heart Attack, Your Body Will Warn You Of These 7 Signs

 


Did you know that the main cause of death in the US are heart attacks? The stressful way of life and the junk food we keep eating is a great contributor for this illness becoming so common and so dangerous over the last years.

Leading a healthy lifestyle and trying to decrease the levels of stress in your life can help protect you from heart failure, but another thing that can be very useful, even lifesaving, is knowing the symptoms of heart failure a month before it happens.

These are the symptoms that you might have a heart attack in a month. Make sure you always treat these as red flags.

1. Swollen Feet

If you have congestive heart failure, one or both of your heart’s lower chambers lose their ability to pump blood effectively. As a result, blood can back up in your legs, ankles and feet, causing edema.

2. Fatigue

When the arteries become narrow your heart receives a lot less blood than it is used to. This makes the heart work a whole lot harder than it normally would have to, leaving you feeling overly tired and drowsy just about all of the time.

3. Shortness of breath

When your heart is getting less blood this means it your lungs are not going to be able to get as much oxygen to the lungs as you normally would.

The two systems depend on one another so without one you can’t have the other. If you have been having trouble breathing it is best to consult a doctor as soon as possible, this could mean it is getting close to time for your attack.

4. Weakness

When your body becomes weak, all of a sudden it is because the arteries becoming more narrow are not allowing blood circulation properly. Your muscles aren’t getting what they need, and this could cause you to fall even for what may seem like at first no reason so be especially careful.

5. Dizziness and Cold Sweats

The poor circulations is also causing the blood flow to your brain to be restricted. This is very life threatening. This will at first cause dizziness and clamminess. You should not ignore this.

6. Chest Pressure

If you are having onset symptoms of a heart attack chances are you have been experiencing discomfort in your chest, whether it’s minor pain or built-up pressure. This will constantly increase until the attack itself happens.

7. Flu or Cold Symptoms

If you feel as if you are having flu symptoms out of nowhere this could be because the attack itself is about to happen within the near future. Many people feel they have developed a cold just days before their attacks.

How to handle this:

If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, please see a doctor as soon as possible. The best way to prevent a heart attack is by noticing the symptoms early on.

7 Signs You Have A B12 Deficiency


By knowing the signs of a B-12 deficiency, you can take action to reverse any negative health effects.

Here Are 7 Key Warning Signs of a B12 Deficiency

If you have any of these symptoms, ask your doctor to do a blood test.

1. Fatigue

Feeling tired? B-12 is important for aerobic energy in the body. Without enough of this vitamin, our bodies are not getting the oxygen and energy that we need. Lightheadedness is also a sign that you aren’t getting enough B-12.

2. Tingling and Numbness

Losing sensation in hands and feet along with the tingling sensation of pins and needles could be a sign of a B-12 deficiency. Check with your doctor for blood work to determine the cause.

3. Joint Pain

Severe joint pain that isn’t due to injury or chronic inflammation, like arthritis, could be cause for alarm. Also, slower reflexes have been observed in B12 deficient patients.

4. Rapid Heartbeat or Breathing

Shortness of breath, heart palpitations, and a rapid heartbeat have all been associated with B12 deficiency. If in doubt, get it checked out.

5. Weakness

In one case study of severe B-12 deficiency, a man had trouble walking due to the weakness that he experienced. In addition to muscle weakness, balance problems and staggering could indicate a problem.

6. Jaundice

Jaundice is a yellowing of skin or whites of the eyes and can indicate several serious medical problems.

7. Swollen tongue

Some patients with B12 deficiency experience an inflammation of the tongue. Other signs related to the mouth also include a smooth tongue as well as a decreased sense of taste.

Seek the attention of your wellness professional if you experience any of these seven signs of B12 deficiency. A doctor can determine if you have a deficiency with a simple blood test. Being aware of the sources of B12 can help you to make sure that you and your family are getting enough and will help prevent potentially serious medical complications.

Massage these 7 points on Baby foot to stop crying Immediately


According to Nourish, reflexology is the practice of massaging the feet to stimulate certain nerve endings. These nerve endings correspond to organs and zones in the body, so you can match your massage to your baby’s ailments. Keep reading the key points to massage for your baby.

Before beginning the massage, Natural Transition recommend relaxing your baby and encouraging blood flow to the foot with a soothing foot rub, or a bath. Consult the information below to find the relevant reflex area, and then begin your massage. Apply gentle pressure and be aware that these nerve endings may be sensitive, especially if your little one is sick. Here are the 7 points to know:


 1- Calm pain in teeth, head and ears

Massaging the tips of the toes can be especially useful when infants are teething. As MamasMakeMilk suggests, you can even do it while they’re asleep so they’re less likely to wake up from teething pain.

2) Sinuses.

The pressure points which correspond to the sinuses are in the center (of the underside) of your baby’s toes. Applying gentle pressure to these spots can help with sinus pain and a range of cold and allergy symptoms related to the respiratory system.

3) Chest.

You can try this one for babies with congestion in the chest, according to David Wolfe. The pads of the feet, just under the toes and above the arch, correspond to the chest. Applying gentle pressure to this point in a circular motion can help to relieve the discomfort related to congestion and coughing. Remember, reflexology is a complimentary therapy – you should see a doctor to treat any underlying issue as chest infections can be dangerous.

4) Solar plexus.

The solar plexus is the network of nerves between the abdomen and behind the stomach. And it is common babies stomach problems, spasms and tightness in the area are produced by irritation of mood in infants. Gently massage toes in the center of the soles of foot to ease discomfort.

5) Upper Abdomen.

Greenyway recommends massaging the space between the middle of your baby’s foot and the pads of their feet to alleviate constipation, heartburn, and indigestion.

6) Lower Abdomen.

The portion between the middle of your foot and your heel is linked to the lower abdomen. This spot is especially good to massage in babies who suffer from gas and bloating in the lower intestine, which are common reasons for discomfort according to The Hearty Soul.

7) Pelvis.

Lastly, the heel of the foot is connected to the pelvis, the hips and tummy. David Wolfe explains that babies grow rapidly and so pain and tightness in the hips is common, as are posture issues. Rubbing the heel can also help with sore tummies and constipation.



Make sure you follow these tips for a relaxed reflexology session with your baby:

  • Always apply gentle pressure while massaging the feet of your baby.
  • If it pulls its foot away from you as you are massaging it, it might be a sign that the technique is not enjoyable, so you should stop or try some other approach.
  • The reflex points on the feet might be quite sensitive if the baby is sick.
  • Your treatments should last no longer than 5-10 minutes.
It isn’t always easy to find a time when your baby is lying still and relaxed, but Natural Transition has a few great suggestions: try massaging while your baby is asleep or feeding, or while in another relaxing position such as a rocker or a sling, or even during bath time. If you’d like to try reflexology with an older baby, you can play games like “this little piggy went to market” and incorporate the massage into that.

Although this tips should never replace the expert medical advice of a pediatrician, these touches can be a good complement to your baby’s routine.

Should You Put Onions On Your Feet Before Bed?


You may have heard that people are slicing onions to put on their feet before bed. So out of curiosity, you wondered what would happen.

In this article, we will look at the reasons you should put onions against your feet and in your socks before you go to bed, and why you might want to try this interesting health remedy.

Here’s What Happens When You Put Onions On Your Feet Before Bed

Our skin is our body’s largest organ and it can absorb chemicals, ions, minerals, drugs, cosmetics, and other things that we put on it. Transcutaneous absorption is the name for the process by which substances are absorbed through the skin.

Studies show that it is possible that you can absorb some of the nutrients from onions when you put them on your feet as you sleep. Researchers studying the skin of newborns found that coconut oil and safflower oil rubbed onto a baby’s skin resulted in a rise in the triglycerides and fatty acids in the bloodstream of the baby. The oil that was rubbed onto the skin actually showed up in the bloodstream as though the babies had eaten it.

Foot reflexology, Ayurvedic medicine, acupressure, acupuncture, and traditional Chinese medicine all have healing practices that involve stimulating areas on the feet that correspond to the health of our overall body. The points at which you stimulate the feet correspond to energy meridians that lie in the body.
Antibacterial Properties of Onions

whfoods.org says that onions are similar to garlic in their antibacterial properties, but have not been as widely researched as garlic has been. The San Francisco Globe’s online newspaper quotes Joe Schwarcz, director of McGill University’s Office for Science and Society, who says: ‘Onions feature a variety of sulfur compounds that have antibacterial activity. … Furthermore, cutting an onion triggers the release of enzymes that initiate a chemical reaction producing propenesulfenic acid, which in turn decomposes to yield sulphuric acid … sulfuric acid also inhibits the growth of bacteria.’

How To Put Onions On Your Feet Before Bed

Slice any type (white, yellow or red) to about a half-inch thickness. Place a slice of onion against the bottom of your foot covering the bottoms of the toes and slide your sock on over your foot and the onion until it covers the first onion slice. Add a second or third slice of onion to cover the arch and heel of your foot before pulling your sock on all the way.

If you have any hard skin growths on your feet, also known as corns, onion can also help remove them while you sleep. First, soak a slice of onion in vinegar and then place it on top of the corn on your foot before you slip on socks and go to bed. The combination of the acetic acid in vinegar and the sulfuric acid from the onion will help soften the skin of the corn and may make it easier to slough off the skin on the corn when you use a pumice stone or foot file.

Nutritional Benefits Of Onions

Onions are a stinky food that we love to add to pizza, salads, salsa, sandwiches, and other foods to enhance the flavor of the other ingredients. The stinky reason that onions smell this way is sulfur.

Sulfur is a very important nutrient in our diet because it helps the formation of proteins. When you put onions on your feet before bed, you are making a source of sulfur available to your body to absorb while you rest.

Sulfur is important to building healthy hair and fingernails, for making insulin in the body, and for building muscles. Putting onions on your feet before bed allows the onion oil to penetrate your skin, providing sulfur for your body. Of course, you can eat onions to get this benefit as well, just don’t eat the same ones.

Health Problems That Improve By Putting Onions On Your Feet

Onions have been used to ‘purify the blood’ for centuries as far as folk remedies are concerned. There are several health problems that may be helped when you put them on your feet before bed.

Liveandfeel.com lists the following health problems that you might help by applying onion oil to the skin:

  • Common cold and flu
  • Gland imbalance
  • High blood pressure
  • Immune system complaints
  • Inflammation
  • Nausea
  • Loss of appetite
  • Weakness
Buying oil in concentrated form is also an option for those not looking to wear slices of onions to bed. Look for a high-quality, organically grown essential oil variety. To apply the oil to your feet before bed, mix 2 drops per teaspoon of carrier oil like coconut, jojoba, or avocado oil. Rub the mixed oil on the soles of both feet before bed and wear socks to keep your sheets from getting messy.

Dad Posted This Photo Of His Daughter And It Saved Her Life

 As new parents we enjoy taking pictures of us and our little babies. But when this father took a funny photo of his daughter he had no idea he was about to save her life…


As he took a photo of his daughter on her first bath, he found her expression funny and posted the photo online.



Comments came flooding like the Nile. A lot of people made funny remarks like “she’s going to be a rebel and marry a penniless guy without tattoos,” there was one comment from a children’s doctor that got the father’s full attention:

“Are her eyes a little yellow? It looks like it to me, but it’s hard to tell, because the entire photo is a little yellow. It’s probably nothing, but it could be a symptom for neonatal jaundice. If her skin and eyes actually look a little yellow, then maybe you should get it checked out. I’m a paranoid children’s doctor, hence my concern.”

The dad took this comment to heart and took his daughter immediately to the doctor. The paranoid comment of the doctor was confirmed: his newborn had jaundice and the doctor probably saved her life with that one frightening comment.

Even though jaundice can be common in small children, if it is left untreated, it is potentially deadly or can cause severe brain damage. While many people find it useless to post and read comments online, this time it saved a life! Kudos to the careful doctor. We definitely need more caring people like him.

10 Ways to Clean Yellow Teeth Naturally


HOW TO WHITEN YELLOW TEETH NATURALLY

Having detailed some of the causes of tooth discoloration, as well as the differences between intrinsic and extrinsic stains, let’s turn our attention toward prevention and treatment. To avoid tooth discoloration, it is a good idea to avoid smoking and also the foods and drinks that contribute to the problem in the first place. To further reduce the likelihood of teeth yellowing, you should practice good oral hygiene and be seen by a dentist at least once a year.

1. HYDROGEN PEROXIDE AND BAKING SODA

The combination of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda, when used as a paste, is almost comparable to professional whitening treatments in that it breaks up plaque and bacteria that can cause tooth stains. Most people who have used this hydrogen and peroxide to brighten their smiles noticed a significant improvement in as little as six weeks. The combination is so effective that many manufacturers have added it to several of their best-selling toothpaste brands. Here are a few tips to help get you started:Combine 1 tablespoon of baking soda and 2 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide
Mix the two ingredients until you formed a paste
Brush for 2 to 3 minutes

As a side note, hydrogen peroxide and baking soda is also a great mouth wash. For best results, mix the same ratio of ingredients and rinse after brushing.

2. ACTIVATED CHARCOAL

Activated charcoal is also great at removing stains, bacteria, and toxins that typically lead to yellow teeth. You can find activated charcoal in most pharmacies and big-box stores. However, it may not work for everyone, especially those with sensitive tooth sensitivity as the charcoal may be too abrasive. Nonetheless, if you are interested in trying activated charcoal, here are a few helpful tips:Place a toothpaste-sized amount of activated charcoal on a toothbrush.
Gently brush in a circular motion for a minimum of 2 minutes.
While this is optional, consider mixing activated charcoal with water as the combination can be used as a mouth rinse.

Although activated charcoal is effective in whitening yellow teeth, the charcoal powder can embed in the small crevices and in the gum line. That said, make sure you rinse thoroughly your mouth with plain water after using this product.

3. APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

Apple cider vinegar is also an effective way of resolving tooth discoloration. To whiten yellow teeth with apple cider vinegar, it is a good idea to use it as a mouth rinse before brushing. For best results, dilute 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in 5 ounces of water and vigorously swish the liquid in your mouth for 20 to 30 seconds. The reason why apple cider vinegar is so effective is that it contains natural bleaching agents that work to breakdown stains caused by coffee, wine, and tobacco products.


4. COCONUT OIL PULLING

Coconut oil pulling is an effective way to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the oral cavity. It has also been shown to be effective in reducing gingivitis as well. For best results, swish 1 or 2 teaspoons of coconut oil in your mouth for a minimum of 10 minutes before brushing. For those who are not a fan of coconut oil, sesame oil and sunflower oil are just as effective.

5. CONSUME WATER-BASED FRUITS

Eating fruits that contain a high percentage of water like oranges, grapes, and watermelon, for example, can help. Fruit can wash away plaque, food particles, and bacteria that often lead to yellowing and other types of discoloration.

6. FRUIT PEELS

Although it may sound peculiar, fruit peels derived from lemons, oranges, or bananas can help brighten your smile. The peels from these fruits contain d-limonene, which is a compound used to treat a number of health problems like cancer and bronchitis, for example. However, fruit peels are also used to whiten discolored or yellow teeth. Similar to hydrogen peroxide and baking soda, many manufacturers have added d-limonene to many toothpaste brands. For best results, rub a fruit peel on your teeth for a minimum of 2 minutes. After you’re done, however, make sure to rinse your mouth out thoroughly with water as the acid from fruit peels can erode tooth enamel, which, in effect, resolves one problem and creates another one.

7. VEGETABLES

Similar to fruit, eating crunchy vegetables like celery and raw carrots can be a great way to remove plaque and bacteria build up that causes stains and discoloration.

8. OVER-THE-COUNTER WHITENING KITS

Over-the-counter whitening kits are a viable alternative to professional whitening done at your dentist office, and they are more cost-effective, averaging $10 to $50 for most kits. That said, over-the-counter whitening kits are available in gel, strips, trays, and toothpaste form.

9. PROPER BRUSHING

Brushing and flossing can help ensure your oral health and also prevent tooth discoloration. However, there is a right and wrong way to go about brushing. It is important to use circular motions as this minimize gum irritation and leads to a better overall clean. Lastly, you should brush at least twice per day for a minimum of two minutes.

10. SCHEDULE REGULAR DENTAL EXAMS

While age and lifestyle can play role in tooth discoloration, there are instances where such problems may signify a dental problem. The best to catch problems early and keep a bright, beautiful smile is by seeing your dentist at least once per year.


TOOTH DECAY AND DISCOLORATION

If plaque, bacteria, and tartar are not removed early, severe dental problems may develop. In fact, even small cavities can lead to big problems in that they allow food particles and bacteria into the tooth. All in all, it is a good idea to stay on top of your oral health. So if your teeth are discolored, you’re encouraged to schedule a visit with your dentist to at least rule out the presence of cavities. Also, if professional whitening is not an option, your dentist may be able to recommend veneers or other forms of restoration that can help you achieve a bright, beautiful smile.

In 1965, An Unforgettable Warning Was Broadcasted For All To Hear. 53 Yrs Later, It’s Come True



In 1965, An Unforgettable Warning Was Broadcasted For All To Hear. 53 Years Later It Came True


Radio commentator Paul Harvey had a prophetic warning to America in a radio broadcast from 1965. From the 1950’s through the 1990’s, his programs reached nearly 24 million people per week. Although he was very accurate on everything he had to say, no one could imagine that his words from 53 years ago would become the reality of today.

When people recall or get to listen to this speech, it gives them chills.

He starts his ‘prophesy’ by saying: If I were the Devil… and then continues discussing issues that are these days ours to face.

“If I were the devil, I would whisper that the Bible was a myth. I would convince them that man created God, instead of the other way around.

I would soon have families at war with themselves, churches at war with themselves, and nations at war with themselves.

I would make the symbol of Easter an egg, and the symbol of Christmas a bottle.

I would convince the young that marriage is old-fashioned and that swinging is more fun, and what you see on TV is the way to be…”

This is only a short part of what he believes is a devils deed that knocked on our doors and we somehow welcomed it.

Listen to the whole speech in the video below and share your thoughts with us.


Beloved Brenda diagnosed with Cancer


Shannen Doherty’s eight years of battling breast cancer have been difficult to say the least. She updated her condition in a recent Instagram photo, writing, “Early morning doctors visit for scans.”

With bleary eyes. My hair was a mess, but the fresh bandage wraps brightened my day! #cancerslayer,” she captioned a selfie with her pink heart-patterned bandages.

Doherty was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 after discovering a lump in her breast.
She was given hormone therapy for a while but eventually needed a single mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation. Doherty’s cancer went into remission in 2017.

Unfortunately, it reappeared in February 2020 as stage IV breast cancer. Her illness had spread to other portions of her body as well.


The stages of breast cancer vary from 0 to IV, with higher numbers signifying a more invasive malignancy, or how far the cancerous cells have grown beyond the original tumor.

Stage 0 signifies the disease is noninvasive or contained within the milk ducts, according to the Mayo Clinic, whereas stage IV (also known as metastatic breast cancer, which is the stage Doherty is in) means the cancer has spread to other regions of the body.

More than 150,000 breast cancer survivors in the United States are living with metastatic breast cancer, according to the American Cancer Society.

Despite the fact that metastatic breast cancer is not often curable, research has discovered that because to technological improvements, the lifespan of those diagnosed with the disease has increased substantially.

Last year, Doherty appeared in two TV movies, List of a Lifetime and Dying to Belong, to help him get through these difficult years of cancer treatments.

The actress has used social media to discuss many aspects of her cancer struggle, including her chemotherapy experiences, throughout the years.

In October of last year, she also shared with her readers in a post about her struggles with breast cancer: “I had several nose bleeds from the chemo.”

I’m not sure whether any of you have had this experience. I was also exhausted. I made myself feel better by putting on some amusing pajamas that my friend Kristy had given me.

Did they genuinely make me feel better? Yes!! Lol. I looked stupid, and I was able to laugh at myself because of it.

Laughter helped me get through what seemed impossible. I think we can all laugh at the impossible.”

Mother Discovered that her Son’s Bride was her long-lost DAUGHTER after she Spotted a Birthmark on their Wedding Day


Straight out of a movie, it was a reunion that the family certainly did not expect!

The incident occurred in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, China, in March 2021.

A woman met her long-lost daughter after 20 years, and that too at her son’s wedding. Yes, it’s as unusual as unusual can get. According to some, things like this simply do not happen, yet it happened to a family in China.

On March 31, 2021, an elderly woman happily headed to her son’s wedding with her family. Little did she know that she was going to meet her own daughter, who went missing almost two decades ago.



The woman reached the wedding venue with her son and met with the bride’s family. Then came the bride, and they all greeted each other.

The groom’s mother had not met her to-be-daughter-in-law before and had only talked to her once or twice on the phone.

She saw the bride and couldn’t contain her happiness. The girl was beautiful and looked stunning in her wedding dress. While talking to her, she suddenly noticed a birthmark on the bride’s hand.

And instantly, the mark seemed familiar to her, and she kept looking at it throughout their conversation.

Then she approached the bride’s parents and asked if the bride was their “real daughter.”

Did you, by any chance, adopt your daughter?” she asked.



The parents were amazed at this unexpected inquiry and asked her in return why she was curious all of a sudden.

The woman then explained that she had lost her daughter twenty years ago and told them that she had the same birthmark on her hand as their daughter’s. The parents resisted at first, but then they revealed that the bride was not their biological daughter, and they adopted her when they found her lost on a road one day.

The woman started crying and told them that she was her mother, and she was certain because that birthmark had been engraved on her heart since the girl went missing.

Then she went to the bride and told her that she was her biological mother. This news came as a shock to the girl, and she started crying.

As reported by Times News Now, both ladies cried their hearts out and embraced each other.

The girl was so happy to meet her real mother that she described that moment as “happier than the wedding itself.”

But then she became distraught as apparently, she was the groom’s sister and couldn’t marry him after this shocking revelation.

Upon hearing this, the groom’s mother took a deep breath and called on his son, The Groom.

According to the Oriental Daily report, she explained the whole situation to both of them and made another shocking confession. She told them that the groom was her adopted son. At this moment, everybody was in shock. This meant that both bride and groom were completely unrelated, and they could totally marry each other.

Upon listening to the exceptional story, the guests remained baffled. However, they wished the couple a happy future together and congratulated the family for finding each other.

The couple then exchanged their wedding vows and lived happily ever after.
