HealthHealth Risk: Why You Should Avoid Excess Sugary Soda by johncreek(op): 8:20pm On Mar 05, 2017
In our society today, sugary soda is taking the place of healthy and nutritious drinks.

The health sector are not doing much to undermine this development as soda companies spends billions on advertising its products. They never included in the advert as at how much damages it can cause to humanity. Type 2 diabetes which is common in the society is as a result of consuming sugary soda. People who consumes two to three cans of soda daily stand a chance of having this type of diabetes and other related heart diseases.


QUANTITY OF SUGAR IN SODA

Every 20 ounce of a soda drink, there is about 16 to 17 teaspoons of sugar. Many soda company produces more than a million bottle of soda daily.

The more this drinks are consumed the more sugar are stored in the body which leads the weight gain due to the hunger it instigated in the period of drinking it. This can eventually leads to obesity.

SUGARY SODA INCREASES BELLY FAT

Sugar intake especially fructose stores fat in the body, mostly in the belly and around other organs which can be deadly. This sugar stored in the belly helps store visceral fat in the body which can lead to metabolic infections.

TOOTH DECAY

Excess in take of soda causes tooth decay. This is because most if not all contains phosphoric acid and carbonated acid which causes the mouth to be acidic. With the presence of this acid, its a disaster to the teeth and the gum of the mouth.

INCREASE IN OBESITY

In the United State and many other countries, 2 out of every 5 person are obese and 2 out of every 4 children are also obese. Intake of this soda regularly are responsible. Reduce the intake of this drink will reduce the risk of type 2 Diabetes. Replacement of this drinks are much in the grocery stores which can give necessary nutrients to the body.

RISK OF CANCER IN SUGARY SODA INTAKE

In a recent research conducted by some scientist, it was discovered that those who drinks sugar regularly have over 85% chance of developing pancreatic cancer. Women who take this soda have every tendency of having endometrial cancer and also colon cancer.

High intake of this drinks can also lead to Adult Onset disease which was very common in the 1960’s and other related heart diseases.

CONCLUSION

Soda drinks might be difficult to stay away from but when your health is at risk you have to take a bold step otherwise it might consume you entirely. Always consult your doctor for regular medical advice.

PoliticsRe: Should Olusegun Obasanjo Be Tried For The 1999 Odi Massacre ?? by johncreek: 5:50pm On Jan 23, 2017
Synord:
In the year 1999 under the Democratically elected President Olusegun Obasanjo led government , an attack was carried out by the military in the predominantly Ijaw odi town in kolukuma opokuma local government of Bayelsa state.

The attack by the military was supposedly in response to the kidnap and killing of twelve soldiers in the village and after the expiration of an ultimatum by the government for the elders to produce the culprits, the military swung into action. Every building in the village was razed to the ground except the Bank, the health center and the Anglican church..
Nnimmo Bassey , Executive Director of Environmental Rights Action, claims that nearly 2500 civilians were killed.

In 2014, The Good luck Jonathan administration paid the sum of 15 Billion Naira to the Odi community as compensation for the massacre..

My question however is , why as President Olusegun Obasanjo not be tried and brought to book over the Odi massacre bearing in mind the Fact that the incident occurred under a democratic government.
I would love to know the legal and informed opinion on experts on this bearing in mind that this killing constitutes crime against humanity and against the law as this act is the same act that African leaders like Charles Taylor, uhuru kenyatta ,Laurent Gbagbo and some others were brought to book for ....

HealthHow To Care For Your Skin During Harmattan Season by johncreek(op):
Harmattan is a season period that usually occurs from late November to end of February.


It comes with windy, dusty, cold and dry atmosphere that makes an individual looks weird if not properly managed.

I have compiled some on how you can effectively manage the harmattan season.



BATHE WITH WARM WATER

During this harmattan period, the atmosphere will be extremely cold depending on where you reside. It is recommended to bath with warm water to curtail the excessive cold the body is exposed to.

MOISTURIZE THE BODY

Harmattan season has a way of making the body look dry and white in which it can break the skin especially for those having dry skin. The best way to keep the body moisturized is to apply recommended cream or pomade immediately after taking your bath so the body can stay moisturized. This method works very effectively.

STAY HYDRATED

Harmattan period as earlier said is a dry season and anyone in that area needs to stay hydrated because thirst becomes the order of the day. I recommend taking lukewarm water in a drinking bottle if you going on a long journey.

WATCH OUT FOR THE LIPS

During this harmattan period, the lips becomes dry and tends to break if not properly maintained. Apply moisturizing Pomade or ‘Lips gloss’ to moisturize the lips and keep it from breaking.

EAT FATTY FOOD

This may sound strange because of the recommendation of fatty food. Fatty food during this period helps a lot to moisturize the body. Harmattan season makes scales shows on the body but fatty acid helps to moisturize it.

CONCLUSION

Keeping our body healthy during this period goes a long way in keeping us alive and well.
