In order to be able to go through the day, one needs a good amount of sleep. However, issues with falling asleep are more frequent that we can imagine. The most common reasons which lead to sleep issues are anxiety, stress, overthinking, and worrying over stressful events. Further, the sleeping can be also affected because of certain medications.

When a person doesn’t get the recommended amount of sleep, they have difficulties performing the daily tasks and maintaining an active social life. The lack of sleep may also affect person’s long-term and short-term memory. People who sleep under seven hours react emotionally regarding everyday situations are more likely to be obese and even get diabetes.

Luckily, there are natural remedies that can help overcome these issues, and one of them is the banana tea.Yes, you heard that right.

This tea not only improves your sleeping, but it is very tasty at the same time.

In order to prepare it, you will need organic bananas because bananas that are not organic are treated with various pesticides and we encourage you to eat the boiled banana peels.

At the same time, the banana peels are rich in magnesium, which prevents sleep disruptions, and potassium, which aids muscle relaxation. What’s most, this tea only takes minutes to make.

Ingredients

  • 1 banana, organic
  • one tiny saucepan of water
  • a dash of cinnamon, if desired

All you need to do is cut the edges of the banana, then peel it off and boil it for around ten minutes. Pour the liquid into a mug while using a colander. You can use cinnamon if you feel like it. Drink this an hour before going to bed. You can also eat the boiled banana along with its peel.

This drink is a natural remedy which can easily help you avoid the medications which usually come with side effects such as:

  • Constipation
  • Dizziness
  • inability to concentrate and remember
  • abdominal pain
  • Weakness
  • shakes uncontrollably
  • Parasomnias

Homeless dog keeps sneaking into nursing home, and the end result is just precious!

By

One morning, the residents of a nursing home were stunned by the sight of a dog curled up on a couch.

It turned out that the sweet animal belonged to the local animal shelter, but somehow, it managed to leave the place and sneak into the nursing home.

Despite the numerous attempts to get it back to the shelter, the dog always found a way to return to the nursing home. Somehow, it was like it knew it belonged there.

YouTube

The bond between the animal and the residents became strong over time, so the administrator of the facility, Marna Robertson, decided to take matters in her own hands and give it a permanent home.

The dog, who was named Scout, was officially adopted by the nursing home. The effect of Scout becoming part of the facility was immediate. The residents were happy to have him around and spent plenty of time petting him and spending time with him.

As playful as he has been, Scout changed the lives of those around him by providing them with affection and comfort.

YouTube

What stunned many was Scout’s ability to sense when someone was nearing the end of their lives. In those cases, he would snuggle up next to them and would sleep either on their bed or somewhere near them.

The story of Scout has spread around and touched the hearts of many. But he didn’t only change his life and those of the residents, but of the rest of the animals at the shelter as well.

The nurses at the facility organized a fundraiser in Scout’s honor and managed to raise hundreds of dollars for the animal shelter.

YouTube

How Scout ended up at the animal shelter in the first place is still unknown. He could be a stray dog, or someone who used to have an owner. What is known, however, is that he finally found a home and purpose.

Scout’s story is a reminder that sometimes, we end just where we belong.

Do beetroots with lemon juice have any negative effects?

If you feel a little off when consuming this drink, try taking smaller doses at the beginning.

Can I use this juice as a meal replacement for weight loss?

By

Vicks VapoRub is a topical cough suppressant designed to clear the sinuses and alleviate the symptoms of the common cold. This remedy has been available for people to buy for a lot of years and it’s safe to say that it stood the test of time.

But why is this blue goo people’s top choice? For one, because it’s super efficient for the main purpose it serves, and second, because of its versatile usage for treating plenty of other things.

Vicks VapoRub is an incredible all-in-one remedy with plenty of benefits and every household needs to have it.

Say Goodbye to Insects

This product is an excellent insect repellent so if you run out of one feel free to use Vicks VapoRub instead. Its distinctive and powerful scent will keep all the bugs and mosquitoes away, offering enjoyable time outdoors without worrying that you will get bitten. You can also swab a bit on your arms, legs, neck, and other exposed body areas.

Soothe Your Headaches

If you experience headaches, instead of reaching for over-the-counter painkillers use Vicks VapoRub by simply rubbing some on your forehead. This product, thanks to the menthol, which is among the main ingredients of Vicks VapoRub, will provide quick relief.

Pamper Your Feet

Among the rest, Vicks VapoRub helps with various foot conditions, including a professional athlete’s foot. 

Simply apply a decent amount of it on your feet, massage them, and then put on some cozy socks. The antimicrobial ingredients of Vicks, in addition to oil jelly, helps secure wetness while killing microorganisms. In the morning, just rinse your feet and give them a little scrub and you will immediately feel the benefits. Your feet will be soft and smooth.

Keep Your Pets at Bay

Just like with insects, the pungent odor of Vicks repels cats and dogs, so in case you have troubles with your pet marking indoors apply a bit of the cream to the typical spots your pets tend to mark and they will stop doing it. This will help you preserve an odor-free environment.

Minimize Stretch Marks

Stretch marks are something many people, especially women, have troubles with. These marks appear when a person gains or loses too much weight withing a short period of time. Sadly, having them on the body can lead to feeling insecure about your appearance. Applying Vicks on the affected areas regularly by gently massaging can lessen their appearance over time.

Combat Toenail Fungus

According to the Journal of The American Board of Family Medicine, JABFM, treating toenail fungus with mentholated ointments does wonders. Applying a thin layer of Vicks directly on the affected nail. Further, the study reveals that there is an 83% success rate when using Vicks to treat the fungus.

Accelerate Bruise Healing

The mentol in Vicks aids to minimize the discomfort associated with the bruise by giving a cooling sensation. The lotion also reduces the swelling and helps the bruises fade away faster.

Relieve Earache Pain

In case you experience earache, you can ease the pain by applying Vicks inside your ear using cotton swab and keep it that way for a couple of hours. This, however, will relieve the discomfort but will not help permanently in case the pain is caused by an infection.

Relieve Muscular Discomfort

After an intensive workout, apply Vicks on the sore areas. It also helps with general muscular discomfort. Thanks to its all-natural components, Vicks VapoRub helps relax stressed muscles.

Trim Belly Fat

If you are trying to lose belly fat, Vicks can help you in the process. Before workout, apply a paste of half a jar of Vicks, a tablespoon of crushed camphor, one tablespoon of alcohol, one tablespoon of baking soda on your belly and wrap it in plastic. Do this three to four times a week and watch your belly slim down.

Besides the various benefits it offers, before applying Vicks VapoRub on your skin do a patch test area on a small area on your skin.

Horror mistake leaves woman unable to close her eyes – read her warning…

By
Monica Pop

A number of people would go great lengths to enhance their appearance and that is the reason why plastic surgeries are becoming a common practice everywhere in the world.

Sadly, these procedures aren’t always successful and leave permanent damage and deformation on the face. 

The story of former runner-up in miss Russia beauty contest, Yulia Tarasevich, is the perfect proof of plastic surgery going wrong.

When she decided to go under the knife, Yulia opted for the best clinic and got in touch with whom she believed was the best surgeon for the job. For the procedure she had undergone in the Russian city of Krasnodar, she paid $4,000, as reported by East2West News.

Unfortunately, the former beauty queen, 43, was botched.

Speaking to Channel 1, as quoted by the New York Post, Yulia said that the surgeon turned her “beautiful, healthy face” into somewhat of a nightmare.

“I came to them with a beautiful, healthy face. I just wanted to correct some nuances caused by aging,” Yulia, a mother of two, said. “But sadly, I lost my health.”

Instagram/uliyatarasevich

The procedures she had included facelift surgery, removing excess skin of the eyelids, known as a blepharoplasty, and a cheek fat reduction. Sadly, she was left “disfigured.”

What followed were a number of emergency follow-up surgeries during which doctors fought to save her eyes, which she couldn’t close at the time, from necrosis, which is the death of the cells in body tissues.

“I have scars that formed in my cheeks when they ripped out all my tissue,” she told Channel 1, the New York Post reported. “My eyes don’t close, and I can’t smile. I can’t lift my upper lip. One part of my face doesn’t work at all.”

“I went quietly to the operation, firstly, because all my tests were in order,” she added. “Secondly, because I had plastic surgery before this, I did rhinoplasty, and it went perfectly for me, without any genetic abnormalities.”

YouTube

Yulia claimed the initial surgeries left her scleroderma, a rare genetic condition that causes skin hardening, and sued the two surgeons who performed the procedures, Dr. Andrey Komarov and Dr. Omar Khaled, of not doing their job right.

She, however, didn’t provide a prof that she suffered from the disease.

“I went quietly to the operation, firstly, because all my tests were in order. Secondly, because I had plastic surgery before this, I did rhinoplasty, and it went perfectly for me, without any genetic abnormalities,” the Russian beauty queen said.

“The surgeons made me the only one guilty for what has happened,” she added. “The doctors, who disfigured my face, relieved themselves of all responsibility. I decided to have my day in court.”

Youtube/Brieflyaboutbeauty

The follow-up procedures cost Yulia $27,000. Dr. Omar Khaled called it “exaggerated” but the Russian Investigative Committee began investigating the two doctors on the procedure.

“A forensic medical examination has been appointed to determine the severity of the harm to health, and other patients who could have suffered from poor-quality services in this clinic are also being identified,” spokeswoman Anna Pushkina said. “The investigation of the criminal case is ongoing.”

Yulia thanked her followers for their support.

“Hi, my friends. I would like to really thank each and every one of you who support me. Thanks to each an every one of you from the bottom of my heart,” she wrote.

YouTube

Following detailed investigation, the Prosecutor’s Office of the Krasnodar Territory charged Dr. Andrey Komarov over the procedure which left Yulia severely harmed.

The office said he provided services that “did not meet the requirements of consumer health and safety.”

If found guilty, he could face up to 6 years in prison and would be required to pay $5,000.

The doctor is also facing a civil case as Yulia sued him for suffering from depression after the surgery. She was unable to close her eyelids or smile because her face was assymetrical.

We hope she will get the justice she deserves.

Criminal goes viral because of black eyeball tattoo: Everything you need to know about Jason Barnum

By
Monica Pop
-

When then 37-year-old Jason Barnum entered the courtroom and pleaded guilty to shooting a police officer in Anchorage, Alaska, it wasn’t the crime he committed that had people talking about him, but the tattoo that filled the white of his right eye.

Barnum earned himself the nickname “Eyeball” and became an overnight sensation.

However, as it was reported that he started serving his long sentence, a rumor emerged that he was in fact the son of one of America’s most beloved actors.

It was in 2012 that Barnum fired a gun at an officer after they entered the hotel room he was staying in following an investigation of break-ins in vehicles and burglaries in the south of Anchorage.

The officers exited the hotel room, shooting back at Barnum, and soon, many other police officers joined in. The police evacuated guests from the hotel. Not long after, SWAT officers were at the scene.

The shot officer only sustained injuries, and Barnum received a sentence of over 20 years for what he did.

The police found jewelry and other valuables in a backpack in the hotel room. It was later determined that Barnum had gone on a crime spree. He stole cars and entered people’s homes looking for money to be able to buy heroin.

He was arraigned on one count of attempted murder and two counts of felony assault and his bail was set at $500,000. When asked if he understood what he was charged of and if he wanted an attorney, he simply answered, “Sure, why not.”

Barnum was a criminal known to the police who had been accused and convicted of 14 crimes prior to his last one.

The moment he entered the courtroom, all eyes were on him because of his distinctive looks. His body was covered in tattoos, but the one that attracted most attention was the one in his eye. The white of his right eyeball was tattooed in black.

Although it’s not uncommon to witness those sorts of tattoos nowadays, back in the day that was something rather new and unusual.

“I think Jason Barnum decided a long time ago that his life was about being hostile to people,” Anchorage Police Department Chief Mark Mew told local reporters. “It seems to me that he wakes up everyday wanting to do bad things to innocent folks and wants everybody to know it.”

KTUU-TV

Barnum claimed that he was forced to become a criminal after he failed to find a job because of his tattoos.

“I was living on the streets, and I tried to get a job, but of course, my beautiful face didn’t allow me to do that,” Barnum said during the hearing.

However, although he took most part of the blame on himself, he also blamed the Alaska Department of Corrections for not providing any help for him after leaving prison in 2010. “I tried man, I apolozige to the folks who are hurt from this.”

Before the sentence was given, Police Chief Officer Mark Mew spoke on that subject.

“I’m going to stick my neck out here and state the obvious. I’d like you to take a look at Mr. Barnum. He has the right to do this to himself and to express himself,” he said. “We can’t sentence him for that, but I think we can consider a guy’s attitude and his behavior.

Today, not much is known about “Eyeball,” but allegedly, he’s been serving his sentence at the Spring Creek Correctional Center in Seward, Alaska.

When the public expressed interest about Barnum during his trial in 2012, a rumor started spreading around that he could be the son of Hollywood star Harrison Ford.

The Indiana Jones star showed up next to “Eyeball” Barnum in a Revcontent article titled “Harrison Ford has pretty much given up on his son.”

However, it was soon revealed that the rumor wasn’t true at all.
