10 Common Bad Habits That Causes Kidney Failure



1. Delaying going to a toilet

Keeping your urine in your bladder for too long is a bad idea. A full bladder can cause bladder damage. The urine that stays in the bladder multiplies bacteria quickly. Once the urine refluxes back to the ureter and kidneys, the toxic substances can result in kidney infections, then urinary tract infections, and then nephritis, and even uraemia. When nature calls – do it as soon as possible.

Meet the very happy dancing boy 'who tricked Ebola'

Boy who danced while he was being treated for Ebola in heart-warming video is one of lucky few to make full recovery and leave treatment camp in Liberia.


  • Mamadee Sayon, 11, cheered up fellow patients with his high-spirited jigs
  • Was still dancing two weeks after being admitted, and has now recovered
  • His sister tragically died just a few days after being admitted to same camp
  • Was battling the killer virus at Doctors Without Borders centre in Foya




  • A Liberian boy who danced his way through the horrifying ordeal of coming down with killer disease Ebola and cheered up his fellow patients has made a full recovery and been discharged from the camp.
    Mamadee Sayon, 11, was battling the disease at a Doctors Without Borders case management centre in Foya.
    This heart-warming video shows how he brought a smile to the faces of all his fellow sufferers by dancing away the pain and always remaining in high spirits.

    Nothing could break down his positive energy - Mamadee's sister was also admitted to the camp, and tragically passed away after a few days, but he remained determined to keep cheering everyone up.
    Even two weeks after his admission, Mamadee was still dancing, and now he has become one of the lucky few to recover from the devastating disease and be discharged.
    Around two-thirds of the patients at the Foya camp die from the virus. 

    President Obama this week described the Ebola outbreak in West Africa as ‘a threat to global security’. 
    His warning was echoed by Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond, who said the epidemic could become a ‘global catastrophe with disastrous consequences’ without more humanitarian support.
    The US President announced plans this week to send 3,000 American troops to the region to help build new healthcare facilities. 
    'Today thousands of people in West Africa are infected. That number could rapidly grow to tens of thousands. And if the outbreak is not stopped now we could be looking at hundreds of thousands infected,' he said.
    'This is an epidemic that is not just a threat to regional security. It’s a potential threat to global security if these countries break down, if their economies break down, if people panic.' 
    Around 2,500 people have now died from the virus in West Africa.

    8 Habits That Causes Pot Belly


    Looking great is not an easy task, it takes dedication, discipline, consistency and endurance. But the end always justifies the means. Below are eight habits that cause pot belly. 


    1. Drinking Carbonated Drinks Regularly: Can’t last a day without gulping down a can or two of soda? If this is you, then you’re certainly not being kind to your body. According to researchers, consuming one or two cans of soda daily causes your waistline to increase at least five times faster than those who barely drink soda in the course of a week. The concept behind this is that the high amount of sugar used in sodas trigger your craving for food, so you end up eating more than you should during mealtimes.
