Whilst commiserating with these families, the Kosoko Royal Family equally condemn in strong terms the senseless and criminally-minded attack, invasion and looting of the Palace of the Oba of Lagos at Idunganran Street by some hooligans carting away the “Opa Ase" and other historical artifacts and heritage of Lagos. As members of the Lagos Royal Family, we view the Palace invasion as evil, disrespectful and an unwarranted affront to our tradition and cultural heritage. As such and in order to bring about desired peace in Lagos State, we strongly appeal to our well-meaning youths to kindly engage and dialogue with the State government in order to bring about an enduring resolution of their demands. Finally, we urge the Lagos State Government to conduct a thorough investigation and bring the perpetrators of this evil act to book , as this will deter others who might seek to perpetrate such egregious act in the future.

Health / Men, My Childhood, My Manhood, My Prostrate, My Life ( Must Read) by healthisVital: 11:26pm On Aug 25, 2016 |
MEN - MY CHILDHOOD; MY MANHOOD; MY PROSTATE.. MUST READ!! Ladies and Gentlemen I am here to share with you this vital information on Prostate. The topic is misleading. Is prostate strictly for men? Yes, ONLY men have prostate and ONLY men over 40years but the healthcare enlightenment is for everyone. There is no woman who does not know a man 40 years and above – father, uncle, brother, son, friend, neighbor, colleague … Essentially what I will be doing today is health promotion. Responsible health promotion must provide three things: 1. Information 2. Reassurance 3. A plan of action. Let me start with a background on prostate health. Everyone has a pair of kidneys. The job of the kidney is to remove waste. It is the LAWMA (waste management company) of your body. Everyday your blood passes through the kidney several times to be filtered. As the blood is filtered, urine is formed and stored in a temporary storage tank called the urinary bladder. If there were to be no urinary bladder, as a man walks on the road, urine will be dropping. Now think of the plumbing work in your house. Think of the urinary bladder as the overhead storage tank. From the storage tank, a good plumber will run pipes to other parts of the house, including the kitchen. God in His wisdom ran pipes from our urinary bladder to the tip of the penis. The pipe is called the urethra. Just below the bladder and surrounding the urethra is a little organ called the prostate gland. The prostate gland is the size of a walnut and weighs about 20grams. Its job is to make the seminal fluid which is stored in the seminal vesicle. During sexual intercourse, seminal fluid comes down the urethra and mixes with the sperms produced in the testicles to form the semen. So semen technically is not sperm. It is sperm + seminal fluid. The seminal fluid lubricates the sperm. After age 40, for reasons that may be hormonal, the prostate gland begins to enlarge. From 20 grams it may grow to almost 100 grams. As it enlarges, it squeezes the urethra and the man begins to notice changes in the way he urinate. If you have a son under 10, if he has a little mischief like we all did at that age, when he comes out to urinate, he can target the ceiling and the jet will hit target. Call his father to do same, wahala dey. His urine stream is weak, cannot travel a long distance and sometimes may come straight down on his legs. So he may need to stand in awkward position to urinate. Not many men will be worried their urine stream cannot hit the ceiling. Toilets are on the floor and not on the ceiling. But other symptoms begin to show. TERMINAL DRIPPLING: The man begins to notice that after urinating and repacking, urine still drops on his pants. This is the reason why after an older man urinates, he has to ring bell. A younger man simply delivers to the last drop and walks away. Just see an older man coming from the bathroom. Sometimes he may clutch the newspaper closely to hide the urine stains, particularly on plain colored trousers. HESITANCY At this point you wait longer for the urine flow to start. There are 2 valves that must open for you to urinate – the internal and external sphincters. Both open but because of obstructions in the urethra, you wait long for the flow to start. INCOMPLETE EMPTYING You have this feeling immediately after urinating that there is still something left. As all these things happen, the bladder begins to work harder to compensate for the obstruction in the urethra. The frequency of urination goes up. Urgency sets in. sometimes you have to practically run into the toilet. Nocturia also becomes common. You wake up more than 2 times at night to urinate. Your wife begins to complain. Men being men may not talk to anyone even at this point. Then the more serious complications start. Stored urine gets infected and there may be burning sensation when urinating. Stored urine forms crystals. Crystals come together to form stone either in the bladder or in the kidney. Stones may block the urethra. Chronic urinary retention sets in. The bladder stores more and more urine. The size of the bladder is 40 - 60 cl. A bottle of coke is 50cl. As the bladder stores more urine it can enlarge up to 300cl. An overfilled bladder may leak and this leads to wetting / urinary incontinence. Also the volume may put pressure on the kidney and may lead to kidney damage. What may likely bring the man to hospital is acute urinary retention. He wakes up one day and he is not able to pass urine. Everything I have described above is associated with prostate enlargement, technically called benign prostate hyperplasia. There are other diseases of the prostate like: 1. Prostatitis – inflammation of the prostate 2. Prostate cancer – cancer of the prostate. This discussion is on prostate enlargement. I have bad news and good news. The bad news is that everyman will have prostate enlargement if he lives long enough. The good news is that there are life style changes that can help the man after 40 to maintain optimum prostate health. Nutrition Look at what you eat. 33% of all cancers, according to the US National Cancer Institute is related to what we eat. Red meat everyday triples your chances of prostate disease. Milk everyday doubles your risk. Not taking fruits / vegetables daily quadruples your risk. Tomatoes are very good for men. If that is the only thing your wife can present in the evening, eat it with joy. It has loads of lycopene. Lycopene is the most potent natural antioxidant. Foods that are rich in zinc are also good for men. We recommend pumpkin seeds (ugbogulu). Zinc is about the most essential element for male sexuality and fertility. Men need more zinc than women. Every time a man ejaculates he loses 15mg of zinc. Zinc is also important for alcohol metabolism. Your liver needs zinc to metabolize alcohol. ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION As men begin to have urinary symptoms associated with prostate enlargement, it is important they look at alcohol consumption. More fluid in means more fluid out. Drink less. Drink slowly. EXERCISE Exercise helps build the muscle tone. Every man should exercise. Men over 40 should avoid high impact exercise like jogging. It puts pressure on the knees. Cycling is bad news for the prostate. We recommend brisk walking. SITTING When we sit, two-third of our weight rests on the pelvic bones. Men who sit longer are more prone to prostate symptoms. Do not sit for long hours. Walk around as often as you can. Sit on comfortable chairs. We recommend a divided saddle chair if you must sit long hours. DRESSING Men should avoid tight underwear. It impacts circulation around the groin and heats it up a bit. While the physiological temperature is 37 degrees, the groin has an optimal temperature of about 33 degrees. Pant is a no - no for men. Wear boxers. Wear breathable clothing. SMOKING Avoid smoking. It affects blood vessels and impact circulation around the groin. SEX Regular sex is good for the prostate. Celibates are more prone to prostate illness. While celibacy is a moral decision, it is not a biological adaptation. Your prostate gland is designed to empty its contents regularly. Thought: You have a moral obligation to share it with others because someone in your friend circle. whatsapp 09086637460...call 09086637460 for more information. INFORMATION IS POWER

Health / 10 Health Benefit Of Bitter Leaf. (read And Share) by healthisVital: 6:42am On Aug 03, 2016 |
HEALTH BENEFITS OF BITTER LEAF
1. Stomach-ache:
Chew the tender stem of the plant like a
chewing stick and swallow the bitterness. This
is a well known remedy for stomachaches. In
some cases the ache stops within a few
minutes. An alternative is to pound the fresh
leaves in a mortar and press out the juice. Add
a pinch of salt to three tablespoons of the
undiluted juice and drink. This brings
immediate relief.
2. Skin Infection:
For skin infections such as ring worm, itching,
rashes and eczema, the pure undiluted extract
of bitter leaf is excellent. Simply apply it to the
affected part daily.
3. Diabetes:
Diabetes should listen carefully to this good
news. They do not need to despair or lose
hope. God has not abandoned them. God has
given them bitter leaf as a sign of God’s lovw
and care. From time immemorial, herbalists
have been using the bitter leaf plant for the
treatment of diabetes. Bitter leaf not only
reduces the sugar-level drastically, it also
helps to repair the pancreas. Squeeze ten
handfuls of fresh leaves in ten litres of water
and take two glasses thrice daily for one
month, this amounts to six glasses daily.
4. Loss of Memory
Loss of Memory can be a symptom of diabetes,
or a sickness on its own. Whatever its nature
may be, bitter leaf is good for this ailment.
Take one glass thrice daily for a least two
months.
5. Prostate Cancer
Prostrate cancer is common among menover
forty years old. It sysmptom is difficult and
painful urination, among others. Bitter leaf is
very good for this ailment. It increases the
flow of urine and reduces the pain, as well as
regulates the spread of the cell. Simply
squeeze the fresh leave in water and take a
glassful four times daily. Don’t be surprised if
you begin to urinate very frequently when you
take the bitter leaf extract. It’s part of the
cleansing and healing process that your body
needs.
6. General Weakness
Do you often feel weak and tired? Do you lack
vitality and vigour? Then get up and take a
walk into the bush. You don’t need to trek far
before you find a bitter leaf plant. Squeeze the
leaves in water and take a glass thrice daily.
Soon you will experience a new lease of
energy.
7. Stroke
Bitter leaf solution calms the nerves,
strengthens the muscles and cleanses the
system. I have seen what marvels bitter leaf
extract has done for many people and I testify
that it is good.
8. Pneumonia
Squeeze the fresh leaves of the plant in water.
Take a glassfull thrice daily. Warm the solution
on fire each time before drinking. Remember,
do not boil, just warm. Continye the
medication for a month. You do not need to
squeeze the leaves each time you want to drink
it. Yoy can squeeze a large quantity at once
and add some honey. This will preserve the
solution. However, note that if you store bitter
leaf extract for twenty-four hours or more, the
bitterness will disappear or diminish.
9. Insomnia
Bitter leaf extract has done wonders for those
suffering from sleeplessness. Simply take two
glasses of bitter leaf solution every night. You
will experience great calm and well being. You
may add a little honey if you wish.
10. Arthritis
Arthritis or rheumatism patients who have
tried bitter-leaf solution as described above
attest to its effectiveness. It soothes inflamed
joints and eradicates the pain. |

8.Avocados: The high fiber content of avocados keeps you regular and cuts down on hunger, while the concentration of certain key amino acids can help to optimize body weight and burn unnecessary belly fat. 9..Vinegar: It might not sound pleasant, but anecdotal evidence says that vinegar can actually be an effective means of burning belly fat. Drinking a dollop of vinegar can reduce visceral fat, and while the research on this is somewhat limited, it is believed that the acids in vinegar stimulate the production of certain proteins that burn visceral fat. 10. High Dietary Fiber: Any foods with high concentrations of dietary fiber can help to reduce inflammation throughout the body, balance cholesterol levels, regulate your digestive system, and optimize your nutrient intake, all of which can help improve the metabolism and burn more belly fat. And for the BEST RESULT ,USE THE EFFECTIVE CLEAN 9 PACK. IT CONTAINS VIRTUALLY ALL NUTRIENTS IN THE AFOREMENTIONED POINT. THE CLEAN 9 PACK WILL REMOVE ALL THOSE FATS IN 9 DAYS. VERY GOOD FOR DETOXIFICATION. FOR MORE INFO : CALL 09086637460 OR WHATSAPP 08091164620 |
Health / Re: 10 Natural Way Of Loosing Belly Fat And Having Flat Tummy by healthisVital: 11:42pm On Aug 02, 2016 |
6. Regulate Your Sleep : Research has shown
that regulating your sleep scheduled and
ensuring that you get more than 5-6 hours per
night of sleep can help you reduce your
visceral fat stores. However, if you turn
around and sleep in two days a week (Saturday
and Sunday?), it can add to your visceral fat.
Essentially, make a firm sleep schedule , but
don’t let your body get too lazy on your days
off. Regularity in your Circadian rhythms and
metabolic cycles will be helpful for keeping
belly fat in check. 7. Almonds: Perhaps the best nut to consume if you’re trying to burn belly fat, almonds are full of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which are the good kind that we want, and which help to eliminate visceral fat through anti-inflammatory and cholesterol-bal ancing activities. Also, these nuts have high concentrations of fiber and magnesium, which help build muscle and burn fat. 8. Combining Workout Styles: While many people think that cardiovascular workouts are the best possible way to burn belly fat, combining your workout styles is actually a better way to quickly lose belly fat. When you do weight training in between cardio exercising, that high-intensity exercise can cause your metabolism to shoot up, burning more fat more quickly. Alternating workout styles and physical demands on your body can keep your metabolism “on its toes”, operating at a high level, even burning fat when you’re not working out! |

LOSING BELLY FATS NATURALLY#A must read 1. Eliminate Fast Food: It may be quick and easy to pick up a delicious cheeseburger when you’re running late and skipped lunch, but it can be a disaster for your diet and belly fat- burning plans. The amount of saturated fats , grease, and unwanted triglycerides found in fast food is precisely what you don’t want if you’re trying to burn visceral fat, so while it might be hard, cutting out fast food has to be near the top of your list. 2. Cucumbers: This is a very low-calorie food with a high nutritional value; packed with dietary fiber, minerals , and essential vitamins , cucumbers can fill you up and optimize your metabolism, helping to speed up weight loss without contributing any unwanted fats to the body. 3. Polyunsaturated Fats: Eating the right kinds of fats is crucial if you want to cut down on your belly fat. Some fats will only contribute more to visceral fat, such as saturated fats, but if you add polyunsaturated fats , like those found in nuts and certain types of fish, you can benefit from their anti-inflammatory potential and actually help to reduce your visceral fat levels. 4. Stay Moving: A sedentary lifestyle is highly associated with visceral fat, not only because it usually means a lack of physical exercise , but also because it’s associated with lower metabolic levels, higher intake of unhealthy food, and psychological effects such as stress, anxiety , and guilt. By staying active as much as possible (taking the stairs instead of the elevator, standing up while working, or taking a bike to work), you can keep your physical and mental energy high, preventing the development of belly fat.

Health / Cranberry Juice And Kidney Cure (must Read) by healthisVital: 9:58pm On Aug 02, 2016 |
Your urinary tract is a complex system that
includes your kidneys, the ureters, (narrow
tubes through which urine flows from the
kidneys into the bladder) the bladder where
urine is stored, two sphincter muscles that
keep urine from leaking out of the bladder and
the urethra through which urine is discharged
from the body. Together, they work to remove
waste from your body in the form of urine.
The hardest-working part of the system is your
kidneys.
Many people have problems with their urinary
systems, most often from infections. Have you
ever had a urinary tract infection (UTI)? If so,
you are one of the millions of people who visit
the doctor each year with this complaint.
Perhaps your doctor explained to you that
urinary tract infections generally start with
bacteria (germs). E. coli, a bacteria often found
in the bowel, can make its way into the urinary
system and cause infection. So can Chlamydia,
a form of bacteria that can be sexually
transmitted.
If you experience recurring urinary tract
infections, you'll want to do everything you
can to protect yourself against another round
of infection. Taking the simple step of drinking
cranberry juice every day may help you avoid
the discomfort of another urinary tract
infection.
Cranberries and kidney health
Although cranberries may make you think of
holiday dinners, many people have long
believed that cranberry juice can help keep
your urinary system healthy. Today there is
medical research that backs up the link
between cranberries and kidney health.
The idea of using cranberries to fight illness
and infection goes back hundreds of years.
Native Americans used cranberries for
medicinal remedies, including those for
bladder and kidney problems.
In the 1600s, American settlers found many
uses for the fruit. Cranberries, along with
leaves from the cranberry plant, were used for
treatment of fever, mumps, swollen glands,
digestive tract ailments and liver conditions.
They were also made into a dressing and
applied to wounds to help them heal.
In the early days of the United States, folks
used cranberries to help prevent scurvy, a
condition caused by lack of vitamin C. Ships'
captains were sure to bring along plenty of
cranberries to keep their sailors healthy while
they were out at sea.
How cranberries help kidneys and prevent
urinary tract infections (UTIs)
How can a little berry pack such a big health
punch? Modern-day researchers set out to find
out. After studying the effect that cranberries
can have on the body, they found that people
who drink cranberry juice have fewer urinary
tract infections than people who don't drink it.
Frequent and untreated urinary tract infections
may lead to infection in the kidneys. Chronic
kidney infection is a risk factor for chronic
kidney disease.
One way that cranberry juice helps prevent
urinary tract infections is by making urine
more acidic. Because bacteria grow best in
alkaline environments, the acid helps keep
bacteria from thriving. But after studying the
effects of cranberry on the body for more
than 20 years, researchers at the Weizman
Institute of Science and Tel Aviv University
found another way that cranberries can be
good for kidneys and urinary health: they
prevent bacteria from attaching to the wall of
the bladder. This means that infection cannot
stick around inside your body.
In addition to preventing urinary tract
infections, researchers point out that
cranberry juice has properties that can help
you fight other ailments as well. These include
flu, gastric ulcers and even cavities in your
teeth. Who knew that drinking this tasty juice
could do your body so much good!
Quick facts about cranberries
The cranberry is one of only a few fruits
native to North America
Its name came from the Pilgrims, who called
it a craneberry, because the fruit’s blossom
reminded them of the shape of the head and
neck of a crane.
The Iroquois and Cherokee tribes believed the
cranberry to be a symbol of peace and
friendship.
Cranberries are too tart to be eaten raw.
Raw cranberries are low in calories and
potassium (about 47 calories and 80 mg
potassium per cup).
Cranberries have no fat and no sodium, but
plenty of fiber and vitamin C.
Summary
Modern research has shown what many people
have long suspected: cranberry juice can help
support your kidney health, especially when it
comes to the urinary system. With plenty of
vitamin C and being low in potassium,
cranberries are also a recommended fruit in
the kidney diet. |
