Hello. This piqued my interest, but as much as you might want to stay anonymous, that should be for a specific time. With the whole catfishing debacle et Al.

No one would feel safe chatting or communicating with you for months without having an inkling who you are.

Also, you can't remain on NL for long it's too public & in personal and any tech person worth their salt cant come to NL that lacks alot of basic security protocols and start spilling their life, ideas etc with you.

That being said, I can deduce you an up coming web designer and you are trying to use this avenue to connect with like minded people yh? Anyways, this fine Abuja guy is interested.


I understand Abuja guy. But hey, it's a gradual process. At least I got your attention which is great.Thanks for the words.

Yea, I am a newbie. Networking is a way forward in tech.

What part of tech are into? Working or freelancing?

Jabi200:
Just completed my first e-commerce website after studying for a year plus, check out here grocenda.ga

Hello Jabbi nice one. It is great you built your website from scratch.I notice Nigerians like to play with colour on some websites that needs to be simple but very effective. It is best to always compare what type of website you are building with what is already out there. For example you are building an eCommerce website for a supermarket it is best to check https://www.asda.com/ ,https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/ to see how things are done and take it from there. Except the customer states otherwise.

Also,this applies to fonts too. Try and use fonts used in the more global market.

I have been used to building website using wordpress themes ,here is one of my websites ( https://www.bespokiet.com/ )but now I want to do things from scratch like you. I am getting good at building everything offline.But my problem is how to I connect it to a domain name,so it can be viewed by everyone like yours.

So basically,I need step by step help on how to put all my files into the website name folder. Please let me know if you can help or if anyone can put me through.

You need to learn how to program to be a back-end developer. backend development is all about creating application, it is the true programming at it core. learn technologies like nodejs since you're doing JavaScript already. Also PHP isn't a bad choice either.

Back-end development is about making a site alive, meaning it remember users, store their data, interact with them, secure them. In simple words, back-end is all about creating smalls application to make a websites usable and alive.

Thank you.

I reside at Ikotun Lagos and I am also willing to be an intern to get valuable experience.

I am happy to say I have been contacted. The organisation is very helpful and they put you through when you are stuck. I did send a very vague business plan but instead of them rejecting me they sent me a very detailed business plan template all for only N500(which is a bargain). Now I have filled the business plan,I understand my business a lot better.

Hoping to read from them soon.

Islam for Muslims / Re: Observing Ramadan 2019 With Good Healthy Diet & Good Islamic Practice by kaykay100(f): 5:13pm On May 21, 2019
You should eat Sweet potatoes. this ramadan and here is why.They keep you full for long

6 Surprising Health Benefits of Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are sweet, starchy root vegetables that are grown worldwide .

They come in a variety of sizes and colors — including orange, white, and purple — and are rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber.

Not to mention, they provide a number of health benefits and are easy to add to your diet.

Here are 6 surprising health benefits of sweet potatoes.

1. Highly Nutritious
Sweet potatoes are a great source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

One cup (200 grams) of baked sweet potato with skin provides:

Calories: 180
Carbs: 41.4 grams
Protein: 4 grams
Fat: 0.3 grams
Fiber: 6.6 grams
Vitamin A: 769% of the Daily Value (DV)
Vitamin C: 65% of the DV
Manganese: 50% of the DV
Vitamin B6: 29% of the DV
Potassium: 27% of the DV
Pantothenic acid: 18% of the DV
Copper: 16% of the DV
Niacin: 15% of the DV
In addition, sweet potatoes — especially the orange and purple varieties — are rich in antioxidants that protect your body from free radicals (3Trusted Source, 4Trusted Source, 5Trusted Source).

Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage DNA and trigger inflammation.

Free radical damage has been linked to chronic illnesses like cancer, heart disease, and aging. Therefore, eating antioxidant-rich foods is good for your health (6Trusted Source, 7Trusted Source).

SUMMARY
Sweet potatoes are starchy root vegetables that are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They’re also high in antioxidants that protect your body from free radical damage and chronic disease.
2. Promote Gut Health
The fiber and antioxidants in sweet potatoes are advantageous to gut health.

Sweet potatoes contain two types of fiber: soluble and insoluble i.

Your body cannot digest either type. Therefore, fiber stays within your digestive tract and provides a variety of gut-related health benefits.

Certain types of soluble fiber — known as viscous fibers — absorb water and soften your stool. On the other hand, non-viscous, insoluble fibers don’t absorb water and add bulk .

Some soluble and insoluble fibers can also be fermented by the bacteria in your colon, creating compounds called short-chain fatty acids that fuel the cells of your intestinal lining and keep them healthy and strong .

Fiber-rich diets containing 20–33 grams per day have been linked to a lower risk of colon cancer and more regular bowel movements

The antioxidants in sweet potatoes may provide gut benefits as well.

Test-tube studies have found that antioxidants in purple sweet potatoes promote the growth of healthy gut bacteria, including certain Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus species (15Trusted Source, 16Trusted Source).

Greater amounts of these types of bacteria within the intestines are associated with better gut health and a lower risk of conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and infectious diarrhea (17Trusted Source, 18Trusted Source, 19Trusted Source).

SUMMARY
Sweet potatoes contain fiber and antioxidants that promote the growth of good gut bacteria and contribute to a healthy gut.

3. May Have Cancer-Fighting Properties
Sweet potatoes offer various antioxidants, which may help protect against certain types of cancers.

Anthocyanins — a group of antioxidants found in purple sweet potatoes — have been found to slow the growth of certain types of cancer cells in test-tube studies, including those of the bladder, colon, stomach, and breast (3Trusted Source, 20Trusted Source, 21Trusted Source).

Similarly, mice fed diets rich in purple sweet potatoes showed lower rates of early-stage colon cancer — suggesting that the anthocyanins in the potatoes may have a protective effect (3Trusted Source, 22Trusted Source).

Extracts of orange sweet potatoes and sweet potato peels have also been found to have anti-cancer properties in test-tube studies (23Trusted Source, 24Trusted Source).

However, studies have yet to test these effects in humans.

SUMMARY
Animal and test-tube research suggests that the anthocyanins and other antioxidants found in sweet potatoes may protect against certain cancers. However, human studies are needed.
4. Support Healthy Vision
Sweet potatoes are incredibly rich in beta-carotene, the antioxidant responsible for the vegetable’s bright orange color.

In fact, one cup (200 grams) of baked orange sweet potato with skin provides more than seven times the amount of beta-carotene that the average adult needs per day (2Trusted Source).

Beta-carotene is converted to vitamin A in your body and used to form light-detecting receptors inside your eyes (25Trusted Source, 26Trusted Source).

Severe vitamin A deficiency is a concern in developing countries and can lead to a special type of blindness known as xerophthalmia. Eating foods rich in beta-carotene, such as orange-fleshed sweet potatoes, may help prevent this condition (27Trusted Source).

Purple sweet potatoes also seem to have vision benefits.

Test-tube studies have found that the anthocyanins they provide can protect eye cells from damage, which may be significant to overall eye health (28Trusted Source).

SUMMARY
Sweet potatoes are rich in beta-carotene and anthocyanins, antioxidants that may help prevent vision loss and improve eye health.

5. May Enhance Brain Function
Consuming purple sweet potatoes may improve brain function.

Animal studies have found that the anthocyanins in purple sweet potatoes can protect the brain by reducing inflammation and preventing free radical damage (29Trusted Source, 30Trusted Source, 31Trusted Source).

Supplementing with anthocyanin-rich sweet potato extract has been shown to improve learning and memory in mice, possibly due to its antioxidant properties (32Trusted Source, 33Trusted Source).

No studies have been done to test these effects in humans, but in general, diets rich in fruits, vegetables, and antioxidants are associated with a 13% lower risk of mental decline and dementia (34Trusted Source, 35Trusted Source).

SUMMARY
Animal studies have shown that sweet potatoes may improve brain health by reducing inflammation and preventing mental decline. However, it remains unknown whether they have the same effects in humans.

6. May Support Your Immune System
Orange-fleshed sweet potatoes are one of the richest natural sources of beta-carotene, a plant-based compound that is converted to vitamin A in your body (36Trusted Source).

Vitamin A is critical to a healthy immune system, and low blood levels have been linked to reduced immunity (37Trusted Source, 38Trusted Source).

It’s also key for maintaining healthy mucous membranes, especially in the lining of your gut.

The gut is where your body is exposed to many potential disease-causing pathogens. Therefore, a healthy gut is an important part of a healthy immune system.

Studies have shown that vitamin A deficiency increases gut inflammation and reduces the ability of your immune system to respond properly to potential threats (39Trusted Source).

No studies have been conducted to determine whether sweet potatoes, in particular, have an effect on immunity, but eating them regularly can help prevent vitamin A deficiency (40Trusted Source).

SUMMARY
Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of beta-carotene, which can be converted to vitamin A and help support your immune system and gut health.
How to Add Them to Your Diet
Sweet potatoes are very easy to add to your diet.

They can be enjoyed with or without the skin and can be baked, boiled, roasted, fried, steamed, or pan-cooked.

Their natural sweetness pairs well with many different seasonings, and they can be enjoyed in both savory and sweet dishes.

Some popular ways to enjoy sweet potatoes include:

Sweet potato chips: Peeled, thinly sliced, and baked or fried.
Sweet potato fries: Peeled, cut into wedges or matchsticks, and baked or fried.
Sweet potato toast: Cut into thin slices, toasted, and topped with ingredients like nut butter or avocado.
Mashed sweet potatoes: Peeled, boiled, and mashed with milk and seasoning.
Baked sweet potatoes: Baked whole in the oven until fork-tender.
Sweet potato hash: Peeled, diced, and cooked with onion in a pan.
Spiralized sweet potatoes: Cut into spirals, sautéed, and sauced.
In baked goods: Sweet potato puree adds moisture without fat.
Preparing sweet potatoes with a little fat — such as coconut oil, olive oil, or avocado — can help boost the absorption of beta-carotene since it’s a fat-soluble nutrient (41Trusted Source, 42Trusted Source).

Although cooking sweet potatoes slightly reduces their beta-carotene content, they still retain at least 70% of this nutrient and are considered an excellent source (43Trusted Source, 44Trusted Source).

SUMMARY
Sweet potatoes are a versatile root vegetable that can be prepared in many ways.
The Bottom Line
Sweet potatoes are nutrient-dense root vegetables that come in a variety of colors.

They’re high in fiber and antioxidants, which protect your body from free radical damage and promote a healthy gut and brain.

They’re also incredibly rich in beta-carotene, which is converted to vitamin A to support good vision and your immune system.

Sweet potatoes are versatile and can be prepared in both sweet and savory dishes, making them an exceptional carb option for most people.
