DIABETES, PARKINSON, OTHERS CURED BY TAKING 4 CUPS OF COFFEE DAILY

Posted by on
A daily consumption of coffee may lower the risk of diseases, such as: diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, Parkinson disease and some forms of cancer,” a nutritionist, Miss Nike Oshinowo, has said.
Coffee Coffee Oshinowo, who works with the Gbadaga General Hospital, Lagos, made this assertion on Friday in an interview with newsmen in Ibadan. According to her, a daily intake of black coffee helps to meet with the recommended daily dietary antioxidants required by the body. 
“Coffee is rich in antioxidants and gives up to 60 per cent of the recommended daily dietary antioxidants. “It enhances mental alertness and the ability to concentrate due to its caffeine content. “Taking coffee in moderate consumption of not more than four cups in a day is really of immense benefits to human health. “To really enjoy the health benefits of coffee, it is best taken black; by adding sugar, milk or any other thing, those things can take all the health benefits away from it,” she said. 
The expert said that while coffee was not a drug, it could, however, lead to an abuse with side effects. 
“If you want to enjoy the benefits, don’t take it on impulse like a student, who wants to stay awake to read at night for an examination. “Also, some people can be very sensitive to its caffeine content, therefore, it is advisable to watch out how it affects your body. “For instance, if your heart rate or blood pressure goes up, you may want to limit how much coffee you take,” Oshinowo added.

CAN GARDENING IMPROVE THE NATIONS HEALTH? - BY HELEN BRIGGS

Amanda Miller has her hands in the soil as she builds a garden in the grounds of Hampton Court Palace. Crouched on a bank beside a stream, she is putting the final touches to a garden that attempts to convey the solitude of depression. Her creation is one of several at the RHS Hampton Court Flower Show exploring links between health and horticulture. "The one I've focused on is depression because I have family members and friends who have suffered from it," she says. "Rather than being inspired to do it, I was compelled to do it."

The Federal Government has issued directives targeted at phasing out the sale and consumption of alcohol in sachets and polyethylene terephthalate, PET, bottles. The goal is to reduce availability and curb abuse. Effective January 31 2021, producers of alcohol in sachets and small bottles are to reduce production by 50 per cent of capacity prior to January 2020. Mojisola Adeyeye, director-general of the National Agency for Foods and Drugs Administration and Control, NAFDAC, disclosed this in a statement.

KIRIKIRI TOWN RESIDENTS SPEAK WITH REPORTER ON NEIGHBOR ISSUES

When you hear Kirikiri, you think prison; but there is more to the sprawling community tucked in between Apapa and a Lagos Lagoon tributary. Residents share their experience with Gboyega Alaka IT was Nyma Akashat-Zibiri, co-host of TVC’s popular breakfast show, Your View, who not too long ago, described the road leading to Kirikiri Town, the small community that plays host to Nigeria’s most ‘popular’ prison, as totally neglected and a sample of the neglect and squalour that may exist in the prison itself. Nyma was responding to a hot topic on the decrepit state of the prisons and dehumanising condition the inmates have to put up with. This was therefore the first thing this reporter paid attention to, as he negotiated his way over the Berger/Kirikiri Flyover towards the sprawling community. One could say the town is divided into three parts, with the prisons yard taking a huge chunk. The prison houses the Minimum Prison, the Female prison and the Maximum prison. Naturally...

WHAT A HUSBAND NEEDS FROM A WIFE IS NEVER SEX - BY ANYIA GLORIA

Sex is an important element in marriage and until there is sexual intercourse between a husband and a wife, the marriage is not yet spiritually recognized. This shows how important sex is in marriage. When you look at how aggressive men are towards sex you may think that what a man needs from a woman is sex. Of course, if he has not married you yet or he does not really intend to marry you what he will need from you is nothing above your body. But if he really intends to marry you or if you guys are already married sex is never what he needs from you - maybe let me say it better; "WHAT A MAN NEEDS MOST FROM A WOMAN IS NOT SEX." Many young girls think because they are sexually active and experience they will easily be married and have their husbands loving them. And when a man approaches for marriage they think the greatest asset they have to show the man is sex. Others also think once they are giving out their bodies it means they are giving ou...

POINT BLANK - FOR BELIEVERS - BY REV. FIDEL ADUAYE ODIETE

POINT BLANK: For Believers, and especially Ministers of the Gospel, to publicly show case their extension of charities to men, is HYPOCRITICAL and OBSCENE. The Lord Jesus Christ said: " Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward."  Matthew 6:2 NKJV Being charitable is a cardinal requirement of our faith, but to call in the press and cameras to record our charitable donations and beam it to the world, is strange to our faith.
