The nuclear family is a new trend in the society with the husband and wife both busy with their routine office work, the singles are not left out because when you call for a date with a lady, you should know the best place to take her to. My lips are sealed here … A change in lifestyle has actually affected our eating habit. We rarely have time to cook food due to societal change. This situation has improved the fast food industry as these food items are ready to eat. In this fast life, Fruits and Vegetables have been rated so low in terms of consumption of food.

We cannot run away from the fact that natural ingredients provide the necessary nutrition required for the proper functioning of the body. A good example is Banana.
Do you know that consuming only two bananas a day for a month could significantly improve your health?  Nutritionist has termed banana as a super-food because of the numerous benefits one can gain from its regular consumption.

Health Conditions that could be treated through Banana.
Medical/Nutritional studies have proved to us that banana could actually take care of so many ailments ranging from heart disease, weight loss or obesity and many others. Let me crack your mind a little bit with its magic:

Regulate High Blood Pressure and prevent Heart Disease: Don’t take this for a joke, medical research has proved to us that the level of sodium is very less in banana, whereas potassium is very high. Consuming bananas everyday can help reduce the risk of heart attack or disease by 40% percent.

Effective for Weight Loss/Digestive system: Banana is a rich source of fiber. It helps make your stomach full for longer hours thereby, helping you manage your weight. If you’re interested in managing your weight, I advise you add it to your diet.

Instant Relief to Constipation: A trial will convince you.

Instant Source of Energy:  No little wonder a banana was thrown to Dani Alves on a field of play and he picked it up and ate it because he understands its usefulness to the body.
Usain Bolt, Messi, Ronaldo and others could testify to this as it’s the best fruit for a snack to consume before exercise.
It helps manage good energy level in the body. Plays your glucose role perfectly. Give it a try, anytime you feel tired or weak; take banana for a quick relief from fatigue.

Reduce Acidity in the body and get rid of Heart Burn: Take this information serious especially ladies. Many women cannot get pregnant because of a high level of acid in the body. I will not go deep into that information in this article but note that banana consist of antacid which works effectively to reduce the acid level in the body and helps get rid of heart burn.

Eliminates Cough: I’m sure you must be asking how come you did not know these all this while but now you know freely, that consuming banana regularly could help fight the seasonal common cold. It soothes sore throat and eliminates cough from the respiratory track.

HOW RICE HELP WITH WEIGHT LOSS

 I was recently asked a question about rice, weight loss and gain and I decided to shed more light on it to the entire public. I found out that some of the best-tasting foods are actually some of the worst in terms of fat and calories. But it can be hard to avoid them especially at our homes or malls where nutrition information usually isn’t available. So I decided to list a few meals to educate my lovely readers.

White Rice
I’m sure eyes must be rolling now, this is by rating the most common and consumed type of meal. Many of us tend to assume that rice is healthy but the nutritional value of rice is actually dependent on the type of rice chosen. White rice helps your body to store excess fat that the body does not require and make it harder to lose weight. Rice has little nutritional value and it is hence advised to opt for brown rice if you want to boost your overall health. Brown rice is full of fiber, vitamins and other nutrients beneficial to the body. The fiber content in brown rice helps you to feel full and satisfied longer thereby reducing your tendency of eating much. The plant lignans in brown rice could also help in reducing the risk of developing heart disease. Brown rice is classified as whole grain meal which our body requires 50% of it every day.

White Bread
This might shock you, but it’s a fact. It does not have any nutritional value. It contains lots of sugar and doesn’t have the ability to keep you satisfied, so within a few hours your appetite craves for a meal. Research over a period of time has shown that white bread consumers are likely to gain unwanted weight over a period of time. Nutritionally people who are willing to slim down are advised to replace your white bread with whole grain or whole wheat whenever possible, as whole wheat bread is good for your health. Diabetic patients are hence are advised to keep off from white bread.

High Fructose Corn Syrup
This is a common sweetener that is often found in popular sodas, baked goods, pasta sauces and processed foods (for my friends who love junk meals). High Fructose corn syrup can quickly cause you to gain extra weight and even stimulate an increased craving for sugar or sugary foods. There are also justified concerns that overeating sugary foods and food high in fructose corn may even increase your risk of suffering from diabetes or developing other health problems. Due to the fact that high fructose corn syrup may increase triglyceride levels, it could also be linked to a higher likelihood of heart disease. Try to avoid any processed sugars and opt for healthier dessert options such as fresh fruits, water and berries. When it comes to finding alternatives to sodas that contain high fructose corn syrup, you have a few different options.

Cream-based Salad Dressings
Weight loss patients resolve to the consumption of salad as it is known to be nutritious and are low in calories but it is advised not to believe that all salads are healthy as they could turn the table around when it comes to weight reduction especially when they are drenched in cream dressing. These types of dressings indeed add a lot of flavor to salads make your meal enjoyable but it is crucial to remember that they contain lots of fats and calories which could undermine your attempt to shed excess weight.

Fried Foods
This is a common tale among people who are willing to shed weight but people don’t know the extent of how unhealthy it could be aside from increasing weight. Fried meals are associated with higher cholesterol and high blood pressure both of which diminishes your cardiovascular health and make you likely to suffer chronic diseases such as hypertension, heart attack or failure, heart diseases or strokes. Fried foods can also upset digestive system, leading to uncomfortable acid reflux and potentially exacerbating the cramps or gas pains associated with irritable bowel syndrome. If you want to improve your health, avoid frying your meals, you could rather bake or boil. It is often said that one French fry is worse for your health than one cigarette.

OAT MEAL AND WEIGHT LOSS




A good day is sometimes determined by our breakfast which provides a long lasting energy till noon. Nutrionists claim that breakfast is a very important aspect of our lives as it does not only set the pace for our daily routine work, it also sets the body metabolism of our body in active mode.

I have heard of people who are looking for weight loss, impose a compulsory religious FAST on themselves while some often make a mistake of skipping the breakfast. Sincerely, this have a reverse impact on your body/health and increases the unhealthy cravings for the day ahead. Taking care of your breakfast is mandatory if you are interested in weight loss.

Going through a quick study recently from Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism. Oatmeal was described as the best breakfast for weight loss patients. A research was conducted on 3 groups of 36 men and women.


The 1st group had oatmeal for breakfast, 2nd group had cornflakes and the 3rd had only water breakfast. The satiety of the groups was recorded after 3 hours. Their blood sample was taken to check the blood sugar and insulin level. All the groups were then given the same lunch after the test.
Based on the sample, the result showed that the group which consumed oatmeal had fewer cravings till afternoon and consumed 31% fewer calories for lunch. Oatmeal is a miraculous meal for breakfast for people with excess weight, it helps reduces around 50% of calorie consumption at lunch. Oatmeal has some beneficial elements which increases blood glucose level and makes it stay in the stomach for a longer time.
Oats is not just the combination of pulp and flakes, it is the tasty breakfast that goes well with any kind of meal. You can use it as a salad, stew or side dish depending on you.
Oatmeal and its health Benefits
·         Oatmeal is rich for the human body.
·         It consist of a high content of fiber which makes you feel full longer and helps reduce your cravings for meal thereby enhancing your digestion. Thus making it an ideal meal for weight loss.
·         It helps reduces bad cholesterol and LDL as the healthy fiber in oats binds to fat in your body which helps drop down the levels of blood cholesterol. It keeps the heart and blood vessels healthy and prevents cardiovascular disease as well as reduces the risk of heart stroke or failure.

·         The vegetable fiber lignan found in oats is proven to lower blood pressure by 30%. Regular consumption is beneficial to reduce blood pressure.
World Health Organization(WHO) requirements is that we consume 50% of whole grain meal everyday which oats is one of whole grain meals compared 5% of carbohydrate, 10% of protein, 15% of fat and oil and 20% for vegetables and fruits.

DIETS FOR FAST WEIGHT LOSS

I have specifically taken my time to address weight loss due to complaints from people about their inability to drop some pounds. Experience they say is the best teacher. For rapid weight loss: eating diets that minimize starch, added sugar and animal fat from meat and dairy foods could facilitate weight loss. I also recommend focusing on fruits, veggies, egg whites, soy products, skinless poultry breast, fish, shellfish, non-fat dairy foods and 95% lean meat.


Here are some more tips that will help you:

  •  Eat vegetables to help you feel full.
  • Drink plenty of water
  • Get tempting foods out of your home
  • Stay busy- you don’t want to eat just because you’re bored.
  •  Eat only from a plate, while seated at a table. No grazing in front of the fridge.
  • Keeping a food journal, writing down everything you eat can also help you stay on track. The act of writing it down is about being accountable to your body and is a very effective tool for weight loss.
  • Eating less and exercise more will help you to reduce weight fast.
  • Consuming 1,050 to 1200 calories a day and exercising for an hour everyday will help reduce about 3 to 5 pounds in the first week or more if you weigh more than 250 pounds.
  • Limiting salt and starches may also mean losing more weight.
  •  When sodium and starches are reduced, fluid retention will also be reduced which can result to 5 pounds of fluid loss when you get started.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
Excessive weight alerts chronic diseases of various forms ranging from heart attack, Hypertension, High blood pressure, Arthritis, Rheumatism, sexual malfunctioning and others. 

Burn fat is a highly rich and effective pill used for rapid weight loss without side effect. Burn fat has been tested and trusted.

23 YEAR OLD BANKER DIES OF HYPERTENSION



It is no longer news to say that chronic diseases are quite rampant as it is not just meant for the old alone but also the young. I recently had a situation of a 23 year old single female Banker diagnosed of hypertension, my secondary school classmate some years back died at the age of 29 of partial stroke and many more outside there due to our care free attitude towards life. Do you know that 70 – 80% of the causes of chronic diseases are as a result of what we consume (Diet)? Looking at our present society, we are so much addicted to artificial meals, junk meals and bad consumption of various meals.

The human body contains 73 trillion cells and scientist have discovered that by the time we are 25-50 years old, we lose about 10000 cells on a daily basis. By the time we reach 50 years and above we would have lost about 50 million cells and that’s the reason we end up in the sick zone. 

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommended that for you to have good health, there should be a percentage of classes of food to be consumed on a daily bases to avoid Chronic Diseases but we have turned the pyramid of meal upside down thereby, endangering our lives/health at an early age.

Let’s take a critical look at the following below:

50% Fat and Carbohydrate : We eat a lot of Okele, Yam, Indomie and other Starchy foods. This is dangerous to our health.

30% Proteins: We also eat more of egg, red meat, milk, chicken and Turkey. These are dangerous to our health because of cholesterol.

15% Fruits and Vegetables: We eat little or none of this. How many of us consume fruits on a daily basis and this are one of the reasons we fall sick and tired regularly.

5% Whole Grains: We also eat little of these so our cells lack lipids and sterols. Examples of whole grains are: wheat, rice bran and soya.

CORRECT PYRAMID

5% FAT AND CARBOHYDRATE: Eat little. It is dangerous to health. The end product of Carbohydrate is Sugar.

15% PROTEIN: Eat little. Protein has high cholesterol which is dangerous to health.

30% FRUITS AND VEGETABLES: Eat often. It contains vitamins and minerals which is essential to good health. This helps to prevent sickness and diseases.

50% WHOLE GRAINS: Eat often. It contains lipids and sterols which feed the cells and help to make them vibrant.

This might be hard to believe but we as humans don’t actually age, we don’t get sick and we don’t even get diseases OUR CELLS DO. Our body’s health depends on our cell’s health. So to slow down aging, limit sickness and prevent diseases, we must protect and properly feed our cells. We must try to increase the death rate of an average Nigerian from 38 years according to World Health Organization (WHO) to 70 years only if we do what is right and it starts with our individual self.
