OVARIAN CANCER RISK FACTORS YOU SHOULD KNOW
Ovarian cancer has often been called the "silent killer." Although experts are making progress in identifying ovarian cancer symptoms, early warning signs can be vague—like abdominal and pelvic pain, bloating, urinary frequency, feeling full quickly while eating, fatigue, upset stomach—and hard to differentiate from our body's usual quirks. Plus, in many cases, by the time we have identifiable symptoms, the cancer may have progressed to a later, harder-to-treat stage. That's why it's important to know the ovarian cancer risk factors that may affect you. Read on to reduce as many risk factors as you can, then keep a watchful eye on the symptoms above if you have risk factors outside of your control.

WADING THE WATERS OF SINGLE MOTHERHOOD
Let me start by saying that this article
does not intend to support the choice of single motherhood. In other words, I
do not advocate that anyone should deliberately choose to be a single mother.
Rather, this article addresses those who did not plan or wish for it, but either
by unplanned pregnancy or death of a spouse, found themselves to be single
mothers.
Parenting is tough, whether as a single parent
or not. From start to finish, you never stop to parent your child. It could get
easier when they are old enough to make decisions and take responsibilities for
themselves. But the relationship of a parent and a child is actually till death
do them part.

and study by the British Health Agency has proven that a router is interfering
with the growth of plants and people.

scientific EMF studies discover that prolonged exposure to cable devices or
wireless DSL cause tumors, memory loss and other brain damages.
We are
ignoring this fact because many of us practically have no knowledge of that.
How the time is passing these signals are harming our bodies.
Consequences of Wi-Fi exposure:
– Helps to the development of insomnia
– Damaging to childhood development
– Affects cell growth
– Lack of concentration
– Derails brain function

How to protect children and us from Wi-Fi – electromagnetic waves?
– Don`t keep a router in your bedroom or kitchen
– Put cable phones in your home instead of wireless phones
