I Hate Smoking: Smoking and Infertility


I’m starting my I HATE SMOKING campaign today. Basically, every week, I’ll just post something about the negative effects of smoking with the hopes of convincing smokers to quit their bad habit. Anyone can join this campaign.

I Hate Smoking: Smoking and Infertility
If you’re trying to conceive or you’re planning to have a baby in the future, then don’t smoke. If you are smoking then you should quit now. This is because women who smoke are in greater risk of having infertility problems as compared to those who don’t.

Apparently, research reveals that while non-smokers can conceive after a month or two of trying, smokers usually require over a year. Reproductive health studies also show that the chemicals in a cigarette actually make cervical fluid toxic, thus making it difficult for the sperm to fertilize the egg.

In addition to that, smoking can reduce the number of eggs you release as well as the amount of hormones that produce cervical mucus. Lastly, smoking increases your chance of having a miscarriage if ever you become pregnant.

Real Leaf Paparazzi

I have never been a fan of sodas. Nor did I ever engage in a one-night spree with beer or vodka. Instead, I have always loved ice-cold tea. Drinking tea is a habit I’ve developed since I was in college and my ‘tea-addictivity’ has never wavered since. I’ve patiently put up with teabags for years but fortunately, bottled-up teas are now available and distributed in heaps. These days, I’m much fond of Nestea’s Real Leaf Tea and I share this fondness with my two closest “allies” – my partner in life and my younger brother. W hat follows is our one big atte mpt to encourage more people to engage in our quest for a Real Life with Coca Cola’s Real Le af tea (and of course, an attempt to get a prize from Nuffnang's exciting contest- Real Leaf Paparazzi!)… This is the typical “Juan” trying to have a Real Life. With the help of the Real Leaf tea, my brother 'John' tries to stay 100% on. He tries to relieve the exhaustion, stress, and anxiety brought by… (a) a hard day’s work as a n...

Project ALL-TIME: The iPop

The All-Time Dilemma Tardiness. Delays. Lost opportunities. I'm pretty sure everybody has experienced these things just by not being at the right place at the right time. Such wouldn't happen if we can teleport. If we could just pop out anywhere we want to, then we wouldn't miss out on important events just because of congested roads and punctuality issues of public transportation. We can go wherever we want without worrying about flight reservations, car maintenance, and sky-high transportation fares. Moreover, we will no longer be bothered by the fact that... A pedestrian is injured in a traffic accident every eight minutes, An estimated 1.3 million people die on our roads each year, About 1,600 aviation accidents causing about 600 deaths happen yearly, About 10, 200 people get injured inside elevators every year, and There are 6,000 escalator injuries annually, in the U.S. alone. At a more personal level, having the ability to teleport can help Dad get to his...

I Have My OWN INFO DOMAINS :)

About 16 hours ago, I was ranting about my wish to have my own domains for my blogs. I figured that I should wait for the main domain giveaways contests which I joined before I decide to buy one...  But alas, the stubborn Ellen couldn't wait and so, I bought web hosting services from Mommy Rubz through Mom's Hosting ... and I also bought a domain name - www.mommysinfodose.info from Godaddy through her. Guess how much I had to pay? Just $13 :) (a dollar for one year of INFO domain name registration for GODaddy, and then $12 for a year of hosting from Mom's Hosting - YES, a dollar every month :D ). The other good news is that instead of having a domain just for Mommy's Infodose, I will now have an INFO domain for BLOGGITYBOOP too :) YEHEY. I won from The Domain Angel 's Quick Domain Giveaway just by being the first commenter on the contest post :D Ain't I lucky? Don't you fret though, because the angel will give away domains every month - Yes, EVERY MONT...
