No one prays to fall ill, but we do take ill, nevertheless. And it happens that when we are ill and the physician prescribes drugs, it is almost always that we must eat first before we take most drugs.

The advent of the internet has revolutionized and enhanced human activity. One of the beneficiaries of this is the real estate industry. Prior to now, real estate experts did not have a choice on where and how to advertise their business. Same applied to prospective property buyers or those wishing to rent properties. Both sides relied on either the print or electronic media to either advertise (sell their properties) or to buy. All of that has changed.

The Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) has taken over a property located at 8 Taylor Road in Ebute Metta, Lagos and owned by G. Cappa, a Nigerian construction company. The seizure of the property arose from the construction company’s alleged failure to pay a debt of more than N1.2 billion. AMCON

Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke of the Federal High Court in Lagos, the capital of Lagos State, approved AMCON’s seizure of the construction company’s landed property pending the hearing and determination of a substantive debt recovery suit filed by AMCON.

Justice Aneke, who restrained G. Cappa from dealing with the property in any form, also ordered that accounts maintained by the company in any bank or financial institution in Nigeria should be frozen.

An affidavit by Victor Igabor of AMCON’s Credit Directorate stated that, sometime between April 28, 2000 and March 2002, G. Cappa applied for and was granted a loan of N880 million by United Bank for Africa.

]Chuks Okeugiri, the lawyer representing AMCON, stated that the construction company secured the loan with the property situated in Ebute Metta.

AMCON later purchased the loan from UBA.

The lawyer disclosed that G. Cappa failed and neglected to liquidate its indebtedness, leaving an outstanding balance of more than N1.2 billion.

AMCON stated that the debtor had not responded to several appeals to pay or restructure the loan, hence its decision to retain Mr. Okeugiri to file legal action to recover the debt.

AMCOM is claiming the sum of N1,207, 296,646.45 from G. Cappa, with interest at the rate of 21 percent from June 4, 2014 until judgment is delivered and thereafter. The corporation is also seeking a 10 percent penalty on the loan until final liquidation of the judgment sum.

Defense lawyer, Taiwo Taiwo, who appeared for Cappa, denied that the company had failed to liquidate its indebtedness to UBA. He claimed that there was a disagreement over the exact the amount of the company’s indebtedness to UBA, adding that the discrepancy explained the reason the company had not offset its debt.

He described the sum being claimed by AMCON not only as outrageous but also bogus, frivolous and baseless.

AMCOM has filed an application urging the court to enter judgment against the company in line with the corporation’s claim.

Justice Aneke adjourned the hearing of the substantive suit till October 6, 2015.

Cucumbers belong to the same plant family as squash, pumpkin, and watermelon (the Cucurbitaceae family). Like watermelon, cucumbers are made up of mostly (95 percent) water, which means eating them on a hot summer day can help you stay hydrated.

However, there's reason to eat cucumbers all year long. With vitamin K, B vitamins, copper, potassium, vitamin C, and manganese, cucumbers can help you to avoid nutrient deficiencies that are widespread among those eating a typical American diet.

Plus, cucumbers contain unique polyphenols and other compounds that may help reduce your risk of chronic diseases and much, much more.

Has pregnancy spiked your interest in sex? Or is sex the last thing on your mind? Either way, here's what you need to know about sex during pregnancy.

If you want to get pregnant, you have sex. No surprises there. But what about sex while you're pregnant? The answers aren't always as obvious.

Here's what you need to know about sex during pregnancy.
Is it OK to have sex during pregnancy?

As long as your pregnancy is proceeding normally, you can have sex as often as you like.

However, hormonal fluctuations, fatigue, nausea and breast tenderness early in pregnancy might lower your sexual desire. As your pregnancy progresses, weight gain, back pain and other symptoms might dampen your enthusiasm for sex.

Your emotions can take a toll on your sex drive, too. Concerns about how pregnancy or the baby will change your relationship with your partner might weigh heavily on your mind — even while you're eagerly anticipating the addition to your family.
Can sex during pregnancy cause a miscarriage?

Although many couples worry that sex during pregnancy will cause a miscarriage, sex isn't generally a concern. Most miscarriages occur because the fetus isn't developing normally.
Does sex during pregnancy harm the baby?

Your developing baby is protected by the amniotic fluid in your uterus, as well as the strong muscles of the uterus itself. Sexual activity won't affect your baby.
What are the best sexual positions during pregnancy?

As long as you're comfortable, most sexual positions are OK during pregnancy.

As your pregnancy progresses, experiment to find what works best. Rather than lying on your back, for example, you might want to lie next to your partner sideways or position yourself on top of your partner or in front of your partner. Let your creativity take over, as long as you keep mutual pleasure and comfort in mind.
What about oral and anal sex?

MouthAction is safe during pregnancy. If you receive MouthAction, though, make sure your partner doesn't blow air into your vagina. Rarely, a burst of air might block a blood vessel (air embolism) — which could be a life-threatening condition for you and the baby.

Anal sex might be uncomfortable if you have pregnancy-related hemorrhoids. More concerning, anal sex that is followed by vaginal sex might allow infection-causing bacteria to spread from the rectum to the vagina.
Are condoms necessary?

Exposure to sexually transmitted infections during pregnancy increases the risk of infections that can affect your pregnancy and your baby's health. Avoid all forms of sex — vaginal, oral and anal — if your partner has an active or recently diagnosed sexually transmitted infection.

Use a condom if:

You're not in a mutually monogamous relationship
You choose to have sex with a new partner during pregnancy

Can sex trigger premature labor?

Orgasms, as well as the prostaglandins in semen, can cause uterine contractions. Most studies haven't shown that sex during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of preterm labor or premature birth. However, if you’re at risk of preterm labor your health care provider will recommend avoiding sex.

Similarly, sex isn't likely to trigger labor even as your due date approaches.
Are there times when sex should be avoided?

Although most women can safely have sex throughout pregnancy, sometimes it's best to be cautious.

Your health care provider might recommend avoiding sex if:

You have unexplained vaginal bleeding
You're leaking amniotic fluid
Your cervix begins to open prematurely (cervical incompetence)
Your placenta partly or completely covers your cervical opening (placenta previa)
You have a history of preterm labor or premature birth
You're carrying multiples

What if I don't want to have sex?

That's OK. There's more to a sexual relationship than intercourse.

Share your needs and concerns with your partner in an open and loving way. If sex is difficult, unappealing or off-limits, try another type of contact — such as cuddling, kissing or massage.
After the baby is born, how soon can I have sex?

Whether you give birth vaginally or by C-section, your body will need time to heal. Consider waiting to have sex until your health care provider gives you the green light — often four to six weeks after childbirth. This allows time for the cervix to close, postpartum bleeding to stop, and any tears or repaired lacerations to heal.

If you're too sore or exhausted to even think about sex, maintain intimacy in other ways. Stay connected during the day with short phone calls or text messages. Reserve a time for each other before the day begins or before you go to bed.

When you're ready to have sex, take it slow — and use contraception until you're ready for any subsequent pregnancies.

Carrot, lemon, garlic and green leafy vegetables are good for blood purification, a natural health practitioner, Dr Chigoziri Moses, has said.

In an interview with The Nation, the medic said fruits and vegetables help to remove toxins and unwanted substances from the blood.

Moses said fruits and vegetables contain micro-nutrients, which remove impurities from the body, particularly the blood.

He said people who eat raw herbs, especially juice, would maintain a healthy blood.

“A simple way to remove toxins from the blood is to drink a glass of carrot juice one hour before or after breakfast. Carrot is a rich source of vitamin A, which helps eliminate toxins from the body,” he said.

Beet, Moses said, is another vegetable that is well-known for its strong blood purifying properties.

It is a rich source of nutrients, such as flavonoids, amino acids, folic acid, magnesium, calcium, potassium, vitamin A, and vitamin C, he added.

“Beets help to reduce blood pressure, purify blood, and support the production of red blood cells. Beet juice is very strong and so it is recommended that people drink only one-fourth of a cup of beet juice or mix it with juices of other vegetables, such as carrot, spinach or cucumber,” he said.

He described lemon as an effective blood cleansing agent, adding: “People can add some drops of lemon juice and a tablespoon of honey to a glass of warm water and drink it on an empty stomach in the morning.

“This also helps people to lose weight. It strengthens immune system, improves the glow of your skin and enhances digestion, as well as treats respiratory problems, toothache and gum bleeding.”

Garlic, he said, can also help to lower high blood pressure. “It eliminates plague from arteries. This medicinal herb is also useful to improve the flow of blood and relax its vessels. So, people can eat a few cloves of garlic daily to purify their blood.

“Garlic supplements are also available in the market. People may not feel comfortable to chew cloves of garlic due to its foul odour. This should not pose a challenge to anyone as they can get the same result by cutting a clove into pieces with a knife; after that pour the pieces into the mouth and drink it with a glass of clean-drinking water. This way, you overcome the foul-smelling garlic odour.”

Green leafy vegetables, he said, contain chlorophyll, which is good for cleansing the blood.

“The green leafy vegetables have excellent blood purifying properties. It helps to remove toxins from the blood and intestine. In fact, juice fasting is considered to be one of the best ways to purify or cleanse the blood. People can drink juices of green vegetables, such as stinging nestle, barley grass, spinach, parsley, alfalfa, and garden-egg leaves to get rid of toxins from the blood,” Moses said.

Explaining how blood purification works, he said blood can be likened to a car, which is used for transportation, and as such, require a routine maintenance if it is to last.

Blood, he said, can be purified through a simple and affordable way by using herbal juices or direct eaten of raw dietary herbs.

This, he said, would save people the pain of visiting the hospital.

Moses said there are many disorders in the blood, caused by oxygenated blood that cannot make the circuit of the body without restriction.

“There are many reasons blood flowing around the body may be inhibited. For example, clots may form in the larger veins in the leg or pelvic area, travel to the lung, and become trapped in the pulmonary artery; that results in diminished blood flow and less oxygen getting pumped to the rest of the body,” he said.

He urged people to purify their blood with dietary herbs, saying they are readily available.

“When you take appropriate measures to take care of your blood, you avoid a lot of health crisis which include a condition called pulmonary embolism, which is difficult to detect, but usually accompanied by a sudden shortness of breath and can be life-threatening. When plague or fatty deposits form along the walls of the arteries, it causes them to harden and constrict. Hypertension also known as high blood pressure (HBP) occurs because blood exerts greater force against the walls of the narrowed and/or more rigid blood vessels.

“Hypertension can lead to stroke, pectoris angina (chest pain), kidney damage, and heart attack. There are other health challenges associated with blood circulation performance,” he said.

Moses said if toxins and other unwanted substances are eliminated from the body, the people would have healthy body, adding: “A proper blood cleansing process done effectively, will remove toxins from the body.”

He said blood purification would also improve the conditions of people’s skin, boost energy and ward off skin conditions, such as acne, rashes, skin infections, eczema, and psoriasis,” he said.

People, Moses said, can purify or detoxify their blood by adding blood cleansing foods and herbs to their diet, and as such, flush toxins out of their blood.
