Ladies, you’ve been wearing your underwear wrong all along

Experts believe that your underwear preferences could be affecting your health.
Octavia Cannon, a board-certified OBGYN, told Seventeen why women might be putting their health at risk with their underwear choices.

Instead of giving women a long lecture, however, Cannon kept it brief by outlining these six simple rules for picking out underwear.

1. Avoid thongs
Even though saucy lingerie can help turn up the heat in the bedroom, wearing a thong could be detrimental to your health.
Cannon explained the stringed undies can cause bacteria, including E. Coli, to spread from the anus to the vagina.

She revealed: “Think about where the string slides when you sit down in a thong.”
If you’re not willing to part with the skimpy panties anytime soon, take them off at night to give your body a breather.

2. Pink cotton undies
Cotton is a more breathable material than silk or other lacy undies.
Cannon believes that choosing the airy option can stop grossness festering in your underwear and prevent infection.

3. Always change your underwear after exercising.
The post-gym shower won’t do much for your hygiene unless you bring along a fresh pair of panties.

Cannon revealed that your sweaty fitness gear is often a place that harbors infection.
She explained: “Yeast and bacteria love a warm, moist, dark environment.”

5 Things Ghanaian Graduates Do That Will Make Them Remain Jobless.

We all know getting a job in Ghana is not all that easy but there are several things some Ghanaian youth do that make it more difficult for them to get jobs. Here are some of them.

1. Depending On Miracles
Many Ghanaians are die-hard believers; they are people who are sentimental about religion. If you keep waiting for a miracle to happen without sending out your CVs, then you are most likely to remain jobless for a long time.

Remember faith without work is useless. You have to be willing to push yourself beyond prayers and be ready to do the little jobs around you.

2. Waiting For The Dream Job
If you are part of the Ghanaian youths who keep waiting for some dream job, then you are not ready to work at all. In this part of the world, graduates no longer have the opportunity of getting desired their desired jobs.

The faster you realize that, the better it will be for you. You may have to take other jobs while building your portfolio. This will give you an edge over other people when you finally land the dream job.

3. Not Having A Skill
In this present age and time, having a skill is a prerequisite to getting a job. You cannot afford to remain jobless and not be willing to develop yourself. Most graduates take jobs that are not in any way related to their academic qualifications.

Many of the job applicants who have one or two skills in addition to their professional and academic qualifications stand a good chance of being employed. And when at crossroads, the skill acquired may also be a saving grace in hard times.

4. Submitting One Type Of CV And Cover Letter For Every Application
Every job has its own requirements; it is important for you to construct your CV and the cover letter based on the things looked out for.

Many graduates believe the cover letter s do not matter; HR personnel take the appearance of your cover letter and CV into consideration. Writing your CV in a way that suits the job makes you a better candidate for the job.

5. Total Faith In Connection
There is ever possibility that you will remain jobless for long if you rely on that uncle or aunt that is ‘mouthed’.

The moment you realize you are on your own, the easier it will be for you to intensify the search for a job.

Do not be part of those who always think you will not land a job because ‘they know those they are going to give the job to.’ This mindset will prevent you from trying as you will overtime lose the zeal to apply for jobs in places you do not know anyone.

Why you should never cross your legs -BurnuppGH

In as much as quite a number of individuals , especially women, have a habit of sitting cross-legged when they are wearing a skirt or a dress or simply out of the habitual behavior.

It is a posture that is associated with feminine posture, which tends to make women look more attractive and sexy.But, sitting cross-legged isn’t as good an idea as you all thought it was.

Sitting in one particular position or rather maintaining one particular position for a very long time can cause a condition called peroneal nerve paralysis or palsy. And much to our surprise, this condition is most likely to be caused by sitting in a cross-legged position.

One of the reasons for this is that when you put one knee over the other, it sends blood from the legs up to the chest, resulting in a larger quantity of blood being pumped out of the heart, which in turn increases your blood pressure.

Another possible explanation is that blood pressure rises because isometric exercise of the leg muscles (exercise when your joints don’t move and muscles don’t change in length) increases the resistance to the blood flow.
That is why crossing your legs at the ankles doesn’t have the same effect as when you cross one leg over the other.

You are liable to have increased back and neck pain if you cross your legs frequently.This will put pressure on the spine and that is likely to lead to back pain and even neck pain later on.

How to break this habit
Here are some suggestions for you to follow if you find that you are keeping legs crossed for too long and too often. Try to avoid it for longer than ten or fifteen minutes.

Every half hour, you should get up and walk around, if working conditions allow for that. Try to get a decent chair which gives you adequate support for your lower back and also make a conscious effort to keep both feet on the floor, with knees and hips as close to ninety degrees as possible.
