Food / Nigerian Growing Population Food Insecurity, Hunger And Higher Food Prices. by mosesdejaviano(m): 11:48am On Nov 16, 2022
Hmmmmmm..... According to UN yesterday during World's Population Day celebration, Nigeria is approximately 216 million. We rose from being 94 million in 1990 to 216 million in 2022.

The UN projected that by 2050, Nigerian population will have risen to 375 million. Currently, Nigeria is world's sixth most populous nation. By UN projection, by 2050, Nigeria will be world's third most populous nation in the world.

With the exponential growing population in Nigeria coupled with weak government policies. There is increasing poverty in the land. Also, there is increasing inflation, according to National Bureau of Statistics inflation stands at approximately 22% for October, 2022.

Growing population comes with lots of pressure on agriculture to meet dietary needs. With short food supply which is caused by low agricultural production.

When food supply doesn't meet with the population's dietary need, higher food prices is bound to happen. Also, this can lead to food crisis which is a precursor to hunger.

There is hunger in the land, this is caused by short food supply, poverty, and weak government policies.

Food insecurity will be experienced for a growing population that can't feed itself. If there is no drastic and urgent step taken to curb short food supply, food insecurity is bound to worsen in more years to come.

With the growing population, coupled with food insecurity, eating healthy will be a mirage. This can increase levels malnutrition and metabolic diseases. This can have negative effect on the health of all age groups.
Food / Why Are Healthy Eating Habits Important? by mosesdejaviano(m): 9:39am On Nov 09, 2022
Most of us focus largely on the foods we eat when we think about eating healthfully. We often forget that establishing healthy eating habits is a crucial component of eating healthily. To eat more nutritious meals, you may need to make certain lifestyle changes. But relax, it’s not as challenging as it appears!

1. Hunger is reduced
Continuous hunger is an unpleasant feeling, but it is a common “side effect” of dieting. An inadequate diet rich in empty carbs is one of the factors that contribute to persistent hunger. Your body swiftly burns through empty carbs, which makes you want substance faster.

As a consequence, you will feel hungry shortly after eating. You’ll eventually start paying attention to eating nutrient-dense meals if you start tracking your macronutrients in addition to counting calories. You’ll have fewer cravings throughout the day if you start supplying your body with slow-burning fuel like complex carbs, protein, and healthy fats.

2. Fewer calories
You won’t believe how much food you can consume without gaining weight. Don’t call it magic; it’s real. It is simple to understand since eating healthfully requires paying closer attention to the items you eat.

You may be able to fuel your body more healthfully if you include more delectable fruits and organic vegetables in your meals. Furthermore, these unprocessed, healthful meals often have fewer calories per serving than processed foods since not all calories are created the same. You’ll be able to eat more as a consequence without increasing your calorie intake.

3. High energy levels
You’ll feel more focused and energized overall. You become lethargic, exhausted, and bloated from eating sugar, saturated fats, and carbohydrates. All you want to do after a hearty Mexican lunch is go home and sleep.

You could have enough energy to go through the rest of the day by eating nutritious meals!

4. Much better sleep
A bad diet may easily lead to a decrease in sleep quality. When you only eat meals that digest fast and leave you hungry, you might interrupt your sleep cycle by feeling hungry in the middle of the night. You will sleep better after you start eating healthier. You will also fall asleep faster and wake up less often throughout the night.

5. Mood is positive and stable
Several nutrients have been linked to mental health in studies. Omega-3s (salmon, flax, and chia seeds), folate (asparagus, chickpeas, lentils), and vitamin B12 are examples (tuna, shrimp, milk).

As you begin to eat healthier, you will notice fewer ups and downs during the day and may even begin to feel more powerful. If you used to have depressed thoughts, they may be fading.

6. Gleaming skin
When it comes to your skin, what you put in it may be more important than what you put on it. A good diet is a crucial component of good skin.

You’ll notice a fresh shine to your skin as you supply it with all the nutrients it needs for healing and development. Food’s natural nutrients assist to speed up exfoliation, protecting the skin from UV damage, and much more! You will seem younger and more vibrant!

7. Quicker metabolism
Your metabolism will speed up when you begin eating properly and at regular intervals. A normal digestive system is a result of drinking plenty of water and eating enough fiber. And a quicker metabolism implies your body burns calories at a faster pace. This will make it easier to shed those pounds rather than heaping them on.

8. Healthy eating as a habit
Eating healthily will suddenly be easier. After performing anything for 21 days in a row, you will notice that you do it automatically. Making wise decisions will become second nature! You will no longer want meals that are bad for your health. Understanding the science of cravings might help you learn more about how to avoid giving in to them.

9. Quicker recovery
Working exercise wears down your body, causing muscle and ligament damage. Eating nutrient-dense meals is the most effective strategy to speed healing and decrease muscular discomfort. As a result, if you start eating properly, your muscles will recover more quickly.

10. Blood pressure is lower
Your blood pressure may drop, decreasing your risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. Your blood glucose levels will also be much more under control, minimizing blood sugar oscillations and lowering your diabetes risk factor.

11. Better bones
Your bones will strengthen, lowering your chance of stress fractures and breaks. This is occurring even if you cannot see it.

What Healthy Eating Is?
Consuming a range of foods from each of the five main food categories in the prescribed proportions is considered healthy eating. Eating from the five main food categories makes your diet interesting with a variety of tastes and textures, while also supplying the body with a variety of nutrients, boosting overall health, and maybe decreasing your risk of illness.

Many items that are commonly seen in contemporary diets do not fall into one of the five food categories. These meals, sometimes known as “junk food,” “discretionary alternatives,” or “occasional foods,” may be enjoyed on occasion but should not be a mainstay of a balanced diet. Despite their high kilojoule (energy) content, fats and oils are important in moderation for a balanced diet.

While there are different culinary trends, many foundations of good eating remain constant. Healthy foods supply the nutrition your body needs to be healthy and energetic. Water, carbs, fat, protein, vitamins, and minerals are all important components in a healthy, balanced diet.

A healthy diet does not include strict regulations, being very thin, or depriving oneself of your favorite foods. It’s more about enhancing your attitude, feeling better, having more energy, and overall wellness.

Eating healthy doesn’t have to be difficult. If you’re feeling perplexed by all the conflicting nutrition and diet advice available, you’re not alone. There appears to be one expert who claims one kind of food is great for you and another who advises the complete opposite.

Even though it has been shown that certain specific meals or minerals might improve mood, your overall dietary pattern is most important. As the basis of a balanced diet, whole foods should, if possible, take the place of processed ones. It may significantly affect how you think, look, and feel to consume food as close to its original condition as is feasible. It’s not necessary to go completely on a healthy diet.

You don’t have to be perfect, completely give up items you like, or make drastic changes all at once—doing so usually leads to straying or giving up your new eating regimen.

It is better to make a few little adjustments at a time. Maintaining reasonable goals will enable you to achieve more over time while avoiding feeling constrained or overburdened by a radical diet change. Think of creating a healthy diet as a series of little, doable tasks, like consuming a salad with each meal once a day. You may include healthier selections as your little adjustments become normal.

Food Diversity
Eating a variety of foods is one aspect of healthy eating or dietary diversity. Calories are generally the first thing that comes to mind when you think about healthy eating. Although calories are important, your first concern should be nutrition. This is so that your body can thrive, which requires nutrients like protein, carbs, fat, vitamins, and minerals.

All foods have calories, however not all foods are nutrient-dense. Additionally, although many nutrient-rich foods, like many fruits and vegetables, are low in calories, others, including nuts, full-fat yogurt, egg yolks, avocado, and fatty fish, are often high in calories. That is totally OK!

A meal’s high-calorie content does not always make it unhealthy for you. Similar to this, a meal is not automatically considered nutritious just because it has few calories.

You’re losing the point of healthy eating if you just consider calories while making your meal choices.

A diversified diet keeps your gut flora in balance, keeps you at a healthy weight, and guards against chronic disease.

However, it could be challenging to consume a variety of meals if you’re a picky eater. Consider introducing new foods gradually if this is the case. If you don’t eat a lot of vegetables, start by including one or two servings of a favorite vegetable in each meal.

Even though you may not like trying out new foods, research indicates that the more exposure you have to a dish, the more likely you are to get used to it.

Tips On Healthy Eating Habits

Instead of stressing out over every meal, developing excellent eating habits might actually make it easier for you to eat healthfully and enjoy eating again. Developing these habits will assist you in achieving your goals and feeling more confident about your eating habits, whether your goal is to reduce weight or just eat a more healthy, balanced diet.

1. Moderation
Without a question, moderation is the key to success. You must give yourself permission to eat anything you want in moderation for your nutrition and overall health. Having a nutritious lunch or snack on hand is part of eating in moderation.

2. Dimension measurements
The serving size promotes moderation while discouraging excess. Large portions trick you into eating more food and ingesting more calories, which may be hazardous to your health. Portion control improves considerably when food is presented on a plate.

According to one study, a smaller plate may trick your brain into thinking you’re eating more, reducing overeating. For servings, use specific weights and measurements. You will be completely aware of the nutrients and calories you consume. Try to stick to the recommended serving sizes.

3. Listen to your body’s hunger signals
Even if you don’t feel satiated right away, you shouldn’t keep eating. Eat only when you’re hungry, never when you’re bored. When you eat recklessly, you take an excessive quantity of calories from dangerous meals.

4. Maintain a healthy diet
Keep a diary of the tastes and feelings evoked by your meal. Instead of devouring everything, enjoy your food! Slow down until a satisfying sense of fullness replaces the desire to eat. Eating with awareness is essential.

By practicing mindful eating, you can educate your body to only eat when you’re really hungry and to stop eating when you’re full. You’ll also learn how to correctly taste your meals and enjoy the taste of healthy foods.

5. Eat meals often
Skipping meals lowers your metabolism and may even cause weight gain. Furthermore, it lowers blood sugar levels. When you have a nutritious breakfast at the appropriate time, your metabolism is stimulated and you feel less hungry throughout the day.

6. Consume nutritious snacks
Maintain a supply of healthful snacks at work. When you’re hungry, it’s tempting to buy a bag of greasy chips from the vending machine at work. To avoid hunger, have almonds, rice cakes, veggie chips, and other nutritious snacks nearby.

7. Understanding of nutrition terminology
Take note of what you’re consuming. Knowing how many nutrients you consume at each meal is critical if you want to eat healthily. Learn how to read food labels. Always keep a watch on your sugar, salt, saturated fat, and trans-fat consumption.

Examine the ingredient list. Discover how to detect toxins and concealed delights. If there are too many ingredients that you can’t pronounce, put the food back on the shelf!

8. Keep drinking water
Make drinking water a routine. Numerous physiological and dietary benefits of water. Use water in lieu of soda and other sweet drinks. There are many empty calories in sodas and sweetened beverages. Have access to cool, clean water all the time. Keep a steady supply of cold water on hand so that you may readily drink the necessary quantity each day.

9. Accept who you are as a person
This is important. Keep in mind that achieving perfect eating is impossible. It’s OK to sometimes treat yourself to dessert or to enjoy pizza night with your family. Positivity is essential when trying to establish healthy eating habits. Punishing or overindulging yourself will just make you feel less motivated and self-assured.

However, there is little proof that crash diets are effective over the long term. Focus on acquiring healthy habits that will change the way you eat. Over time, even little adjustments might have a significant influence on your happiness and health.

It’s time to look at how your body changes once you start following healthy eating habits!

Health / How Healthy Eating Affects Your Body? by mosesdejaviano(m): 3:37pm On Nov 05, 2022
Eating a balanced diet may prevent malnutrition as well as diseases including obesity, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and stroke. Nowadays, more individuals consume trans fats, saturated fats, sweets, salt, and other unhealthy foods than they do vegetables, fruits, and dietary fiber. Your body’s health depends on what you put in it.

1. Exceptional Bones

Beyond a certain age, your body ceases building muscle and mending damage in the same way. Your energy levels may drop and your muscles may get weaker, as a result, increasing your risk of being hurt.

Getting adequate protein, especially if you’re over 30, may help you postpone the loss of muscle that occurs with age, according to Harvard Health Publishing. Lean proteins should be a part of every meal to help your body heal and develop muscle, which will eventually increase your energy and strength.

Choose foods from both plant and animal sources, such as beans, nuts, lentils, soy, poultry, pork, fish, and dairy items, to increase the amount of protein in your diet.

2. Controlling blood sugar levels

One method for lowering blood glucose levels is to eat more protein and fiber, less refined sugars, and fewer carbohydrates. To avoid or treat type 2 diabetes, it is necessary to initially maintain a healthy body weight, which is easier to do while eating nutritious meals.

If you are overweight and have type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes, even decreasing 5 to 10% of your body weight will help you control your blood sugar.

By shedding only a few pounds, those with pre-diabetes can reduce their chance of developing type 2 diabetes by 60%. That ought to be sufficient motivation for you to start making dietary changes in order to prevent the onset of a chronic illness.

3. Well-Being

Since a poor diet allows people to be less active, it has a detrimental effect on both physical and mental health. Two-thirds of people who regularly consume fresh fruits and vegetables have no mental health issues, according to the Mental Health Foundation.

There is a considerable difference when compared to individuals who do experience some form of mental health issues and who frequently report consuming fewer nutritious and more hazardous meals.

By consuming meals high in vital fats, complex carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, we can protect our emotions of well-being.

4. It is expensive to be Unhealthy

In the US, over two-thirds of the population are overweight or obese. The United States Department of Agriculture estimates that a healthy diet might prevent at least $71 billion in medical costs and lost lives annually.

Given that it only takes into account diabetes, cancer, stroke, and coronary heart disease caused by nutrition, this number may be overstated. It does not include other dietary-related illnesses. Costs associated with diseases that may be prevented account for 75% of healthcare expenses.

5. Healthy Weight

A nourishing diet full of fresh produce, whole grains, dairy, and protein can help you keep a healthy weight. There isn’t a single diet, diet supplement, or weight loss method that enables people to consume everything they want while still expecting to lose weight and improve their health.

One must continue a balanced diet and exercise regimen to achieve those goals.

6. Boost Immune System

Our immune system serves as our first line of defense against disease, yet poor nutrition is the main contributor to immunodeficiency worldwide. Consuming enough vitamins and minerals is necessary to keep your immune system in good shape.

A strong immune system may be supported by a well-balanced diet that includes fruits, vegetables, and low-fat meals.

7. Decreases the aging process

Seafood, tomatoes, cherries, avocados, and almonds are all sources of vitamins and minerals that are good for the skin. For instance, tomatoes contain vitamin C, which aids in the production of collagen, giving your skin a firmer appearance and delaying the signs of early aging.

Consuming berries, which are rich in antioxidants and vitamins, promotes cell renewal for fresh skin.

8. Enhanced Energy

The meals and beverages we eat provide energy to our bodies. Carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins are the primary energy-producing components in our bodies. Carbohydrates that are absorbed slowly, such as whole-grain pieces of bread and starchy vegetables, are the best for sustained energy.

Water is required for nutrition delivery, and dehydration can result in a shortage of energy. Iron deficiency can produce weariness, irritation, and poor energy. Iron-rich foods include shellfish, chicken, peas, and dark green leafy vegetables like spinach.

It is preferable to drink vitamin C at the same time as these foods to improve iron absorption. Consider including vitamin C-rich foods such as broccoli, kiwi, peppers, leafy greens, and tomatoes in your diet.

9. Decreased likelihood of getting a chronic illness

Poor nutrition and weight gain are significant risk factors for chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes, which present earlier in life, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In persons between the ages of 20 and 65, diabetes is the main cause of blindness, renal failure, and non-traumatic lower-extremity amputation.

Since dietary habits are frequently formed in infancy and persist into adulthood, it is imperative that children are taught the value of eating a balanced diet from a young age.

10. Boost Good Mood

Diets low in carbs enhance feelings of stress, whereas diets high in carbohydrates improve mood. A diet high in protein, moderate in carbs, and low in fat can improve mood by providing an appropriate quantity of iron, omega-3 fatty acids, and iron. Dietary influences our mood, and our mood influences our food choices.

When we are depressed, we are more inclined to consume unhealthy meals. People who are happier are more inclined to eat healthier meals.

11. Improve your concentration and coordination

Food has an effect on how we think. When the body is short on glucose, the brain does not get the energy it requires to stay concentrated. Diets heavy in fat and cholesterol can substantially harm the brain by generating plaque buildup in brain arteries, causing brain tissue damage, and triggering strokes. Consuming fruits and vegetables throughout the day promotes brain health and engagement.

12. Longer life expectancy

Although your body needs food to survive, the act of metabolizing—the process by which dietary components are broken down—stresses the body. The body experiences extra stress from overeating, which may shorten its life span. Obesity is a contributing factor in 18% of fatalities in both white and black Americans, according to Columbia University studies.

The possibility exists that obesity will reduce life expectancy in the United States. It has been shown that diets high in nutrients and free of processed foods increase life expectancy.

13. Cardiovascular Health

Maintaining healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels while eating a nutritious diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy reduces your risk of heart disease. Excessive salt and saturated fat consumption can raise blood pressure and cholesterol.

Furthermore, consuming fatty fish, such as salmon, can help lower your heart disease risk. Oily fish has a high concentration of omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for your heart.

14. Increase Gut Bacteria

This is how it goes: The synthesis of neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and serotonin, which are chemical compounds that continuously carry messages from the stomach to the brain, is influenced by the billions of bacteria that reside in your GI tract.

Consuming nutritious foods promotes the development of “good” bacteria, which helps the production of neurotransmitters. On the other hand, a regular diet of junk food may cause inflammation, which might reduce production.

Bread, savory snacks, and beverages with added sugar are a few examples of meals that lessen intestinal diversity. Two items that encourage the growth of good bacteria in the stomach are prebiotics and dietary fiber.

15. Skin that glows

The relationship between nutrition and skin health is still not fully understood. But we do know that dietary changes can influence the structure and function of the skin.

Collagen is a protein that gives skin flexibility, and its production declines with age. Vitamin C aids in the synthesis of collagen, and some studies have suggested that boosting vitamin C in the diet improves skin suppleness, which is great news.

Vitamin C helps to protect the skin from UV rays. Another well-known purpose of vitamin C in skin health is that it promotes wound healing. All of these advantages offer a compelling case for consuming more vitamin C-rich foods. Getting the necessary five servings of fruits and vegetables every day.

What Healthy Eating Habits Are?

Not every beneficial change needs to be made immediately away. You might find it easier if you take it week by week. It’s also advantageous to be aware of the nourishing foods you consume, particularly when it comes to controlling desires.

Consider the flavor, texture, and aroma of each meal. Keep a journal of how you feel after consuming wholesome snacks and meals. This transformation takes time. You won’t be able to stop all of your harmful habits overnight without still having desires.

You may also experiment with minor healthy food substitutions, such as switching to whole-grain versions of white pasta, bread, and rice. As a result, your body contains more beneficial fiber, which aids with digestion. Maintain the following healthy eating habits:

1. Abstain from sugar-sweetened drinks

Many beverages with healthy claims include extra sugars. Unfortunately, a number of harmful outcomes, including obesity, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and metabolic syndrome have been linked to excessive sugar consumption.

Adults should limit their intake of added sugar to less than 10% of their overall calorie intake, per the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. For a 2,000-calorie diet, this translates to around 12 tablespoons of sugar.

In moderation, swap out sugar-sweetened liquids like regular soda, sweet tea, sports drinks, and fruit “drinks” for no-sugar-added liquids like water, seltzer water, unsweetened coffee or tea, and even 100 percent fruit juice.

2. Include Fermented Foods in Your Diet

In addition to being scrumptious, fermented foods like kimchi, sauerkraut, and others give the body live probiotics that are beneficial to our overall health in a number of ways. Have a bowl of miso soup for dinner, start your day with plain yogurt, or have a cup of kombucha in the middle of the day for some fermented goodness.

3. Increase your fish consumption

According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the majority of Americans should consume at least 8 ounces of fish each week, yet most people fall well short of this amount. Fish, particularly oily fish like salmon, is high in DHA omega-3 fatty acids, selenium, vitamin B12, and a variety of other minerals that are beneficial to human health.

People who eat fish appear to live an extra 2.2 years on average. A variety of other possible health benefits of eating fish have been linked to it, including a lower risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

4. Eliminate all processed meat from your diet.

Highly processed meats such as lunch meats, bacon, and sausage are undoubtedly handy and delicious. However, these meat options may be high in nitrates, a component that, when cooked, can form possibly cancer-causing chemicals. Many of these meat options are also high in salt. Fresh cuts of meat, such as turkey, chicken, and beef, can be a lower-sodium, nitrate-free meat choice that tastes just as good.

5. Snacking on fruit

The daily recommended servings of fruits and vegetables are only consumed by one in ten Americans. Incorporating a little fruit into your diet each day is also a wise choice because a lack of fruit has been associated with harmful outcomes like a higher risk of some malignancies, heart disease, and stroke.

Fruit and protein may make your snack last longer, so making you feel fuller and averting a sharp drop in blood sugar after eating. Providing they don’t include added salt or sugar, dried, freeze-dried, and frozen fruit are all nutritious alternatives if you don’t have access to fresh fruit. The fruit collection also includes freeze-dried blueberries and dried mango slices.

6. Consume more vegetables

One of the finest sources of fiber, a vitamin that helps maintain gut health and perhaps lowers your risk of getting some malignancies, is vegetables. In addition, a lot of vegetables are low in calories and can provide a little more taste and satisfaction to food.

It’s not necessary to eat only salad every day of the week if you add veggies to your recipes. You may easily add more broccoli to your stir-fry or some spinach to your homemade soup to give your food a nutritious boost.

7. Eat Mindfully

You should savor the food you eat. Additionally, viewing TV while eating has been shown to impair various processes that typically support the voluntary management of food intake, which can lead to eating extra calories as a result of distraction.

Instead, savor your meals with loved ones. Or, at the absolute least, ensure that you aren’t watching TV when you’re eating.

8. Create a healthier diet plan

Meal planning may encourage individuals to eat a healthy diet and may even prevent obesity. You can manage your healthy eating with ease if you take the time to prepare your meals for the whole week. Make a plan for your meals for the whole week by making a meal plan.

Create a shopping list for yourself and prepare the ingredients for all of the week’s simple dinners.

9. Select the Varieties

Variety is essential for eating a healthy diet. Your body will get a range of nutrients from the foods you eat, and this may assist to minimize nutritional gaps. A diversity of healthful meals may also help lower the chance of having metabolic syndrome, according to several studies. The phrase “eat the rainbow” refers to the idea that individuals should try to consume foods that naturally include a range of colors during the course of the week.

All of these healthy foods—purple cabbage, orange carrots, red radishes, and green spinach—contain varied nutritional profiles. Rotating your meals may make your plate more interesting and provide your body with various essential nutrients each day.

10. Steer clear of fried meals

Nothing compares to biting into a crispy French fry or a piece of fried chicken. But a variety of harmful health impacts have been linked to eating too much deep-fried foods.

Instead of deep-frying your food, consider air-frying or baking it. Your dish will have a lovely crunch as a result.

11. Consume lean beef

Fans of beef will be happy to learn that it can be a part of a healthy diet since it contains iron, protein, zinc, and many other nutrients. Additionally, some beef cuts include higher saturated fat even if thinner beef cuts, such as flank steak, are undoubtedly healthy in a balanced diet.

12. Refrain from skipping meals

Everybody believes that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. New research provides an explanation for why this is the case. According to this research, eating breakfast often was associated with higher intakes of a variety of nutrients, including folate, calcium, and iron.

Those who miss breakfast also consume much more calories, carbs, total and saturated fat, and added sugars during lunch, dinner, and snacks than those who do.

13. Use herbs and spices

The average daily salt consumption in America is more than 3,400 mg, despite the Dietary Guidelines' suggestion of less than 2,300 mg. Your risk of developing hypertension may increase if you consume excessive amounts of salt on a daily basis.

Since 1 teaspoon of table salt has around 2,000 milligrams of sodium, start by reducing your salt consumption. Use flavorful, low-sodium items, such as herbs and spices, to provide flavor while reducing your salt intake.

Beyond a certain age, your body ceases building muscle and mending damage in the same way. Your energy levels may drop and your muscles may get weaker, as a result, increasing your risk of being hurt.

Getting adequate protein, especially if you’re over 30, may help you postpone the loss of muscle that occurs with age, according to Harvard Health Publishing. Lean proteins should be a part of every meal to help your body heal and develop muscle, which will eventually increase your energy and strength.

Choose foods from both plant and animal sources, such as beans, nuts, lentils, soy, poultry, pork, fish, and dairy items, to increase the amount of protein in your diet.

2. Controlling blood sugar levels

One method for lowering blood glucose levels is to eat more protein and fiber, less refined sugars, and fewer carbohydrates. To avoid or treat type 2 diabetes, it is necessary to initially maintain a healthy body weight, which is easier to do while eating nutritious meals.

If you are overweight and have type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes, even decreasing 5 to 10% of your body weight will help you control your blood sugar.

By shedding only a few pounds, those with pre-diabetes can reduce their chance of developing type 2 diabetes by 60%. That ought to be sufficient motivation for you to start making dietary changes in order to prevent the onset of a chronic illness.

3. Well-Being

Since a poor diet allows people to be less active, it has a detrimental effect on both physical and mental health. Two-thirds of people who regularly consume fresh fruits and vegetables have no mental health issues, according to the Mental Health Foundation.

There is a considerable difference when compared to individuals who do experience some form of mental health issues and who frequently report consuming fewer nutritious and more hazardous meals.

By consuming meals high in vital fats, complex carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, we can protect our emotions of well-being.

4. It is expensive to be Unhealthy

In the US, over two-thirds of the population are overweight or obese. The United States Department of Agriculture estimates that a healthy diet might prevent at least $71 billion in medical costs and lost lives annually.

Given that it only takes into account diabetes, cancer, stroke, and coronary heart disease caused by nutrition, this number may be overstated. It does not include other dietary-related illnesses. Costs associated with diseases that may be prevented account for 75% of healthcare expenses.

5. Healthy Weight

A nourishing diet full of fresh produce, whole grains, dairy, and protein can help you keep a healthy weight. There isn’t a single diet, diet supplement, or weight loss method that enables people to consume everything they want while still expecting to lose weight and improve their health.

One must continue a balanced diet and exercise regimen to achieve those goals.

6. Boost Immune System

Our immune system serves as our first line of defense against disease, yet poor nutrition is the main contributor to immunodeficiency worldwide. Consuming enough vitamins and minerals is necessary to keep your immune system in good shape.

A strong immune system may be supported by a well-balanced diet that includes fruits, vegetables, and low-fat meals.

7. Decreases the aging process

Seafood, tomatoes, cherries, avocados, and almonds are all sources of vitamins and minerals that are good for the skin. For instance, tomatoes contain vitamin C, which aids in the production of collagen, giving your skin a firmer appearance and delaying the signs of early aging.

Consuming berries, which are rich in antioxidants and vitamins, promotes cell renewal for fresh skin.

8. Enhanced Energy

The meals and beverages we eat provide energy to our bodies. Carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins are the primary energy-producing components in our bodies. Carbohydrates that are absorbed slowly, such as whole-grain pieces of bread and starchy vegetables, are the best for sustained energy.

Water is required for nutrition delivery, and dehydration can result in a shortage of energy. Iron deficiency can produce weariness, irritation, and poor energy. Iron-rich foods include shellfish, chicken, peas, and dark green leafy vegetables like spinach.

It is preferable to drink vitamin C at the same time as these foods to improve iron absorption. Consider including vitamin C-rich foods such as broccoli, kiwi, peppers, leafy greens, and tomatoes in your diet.

9. Decreased likelihood of getting a chronic illness

Poor nutrition and weight gain are significant risk factors for chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes, which present earlier in life, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In persons between the ages of 20 and 65, diabetes is the main cause of blindness, renal failure, and non-traumatic lower-extremity amputation.

Since dietary habits are frequently formed in infancy and persist into adulthood, it is imperative that children are taught the value of eating a balanced diet from a young age.

10. Boost Good Mood

Diets low in carbs enhance feelings of stress, whereas diets high in carbohydrates improve mood. A diet high in protein, moderate in carbs, and low in fat can improve mood by providing an appropriate quantity of iron, omega-3 fatty acids, and iron. Dietary influences our mood, and our mood influences our food choices.

When we are depressed, we are more inclined to consume unhealthy meals. People who are happier are more inclined to eat healthier meals.

11. Improve your concentration and coordination

Food has an effect on how we think. When the body is short on glucose, the brain does not get the energy it requires to stay concentrated. Diets heavy in fat and cholesterol can substantially harm the brain by generating plaque buildup in brain arteries, causing brain tissue damage, and triggering strokes. Consuming fruits and vegetables throughout the day promotes brain health and engagement.

12. Longer life expectancy

Although your body needs food to survive, the act of metabolizing—the process by which dietary components are broken down—stresses the body. The body experiences extra stress from overeating, which may shorten its life span. Obesity is a contributing factor in 18% of fatalities in both white and black Americans, according to Columbia University studies.

The possibility exists that obesity will reduce life expectancy in the United States. It has been shown that diets high in nutrients and free of processed foods increase life expectancy.

13. Cardiovascular Health

Maintaining healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels while eating a nutritious diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy reduces your risk of heart disease. Excessive salt and saturated fat consumption can raise blood pressure and cholesterol.

Furthermore, consuming fatty fish, such as salmon, can help lower your heart disease risk. Oily fish has a high concentration of omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for your heart.

14. Increase Gut Bacteria

This is how it goes: The synthesis of neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and serotonin, which are chemical compounds that continuously carry messages from the stomach to the brain, is influenced by the billions of bacteria that reside in your GI tract.

Consuming nutritious foods promotes the development of “good” bacteria, which helps the production of neurotransmitters. On the other hand, a regular diet of junk food may cause inflammation, which might reduce production.

Bread, savory snacks, and beverages with added sugar are a few examples of meals that lessen intestinal diversity. Two items that encourage the growth of good bacteria in the stomach are prebiotics and dietary fiber.

15. Skin that glows

The relationship between nutrition and skin health is still not fully understood. But we do know that dietary changes can influence the structure and function of the skin.

Collagen is a protein that gives skin flexibility, and its production declines with age. Vitamin C aids in the synthesis of collagen, and some studies have suggested that boosting vitamin C in the diet improves skin suppleness, which is great news.

Vitamin C helps to protect the skin from UV rays. Another well-known purpose of vitamin C in skin health is that it promotes wound healing. All of these advantages offer a compelling case for consuming more vitamin C-rich foods. Getting the necessary five servings of fruits and vegetables every day.

What Healthy Eating Habits Are?

Not every beneficial change needs to be made immediately away. You might find it easier if you take it week by week. It’s also advantageous to be aware of the nourishing foods you consume, particularly when it comes to controlling desires.

Consider the flavor, texture, and aroma of each meal. Keep a journal of how you feel after consuming wholesome snacks and meals. This transformation takes time. You won’t be able to stop all of your harmful habits overnight without still having desires.

You may also experiment with minor healthy food substitutions, such as switching to whole-grain versions of white pasta, bread, and rice. As a result, your body contains more beneficial fiber, which aids with digestion. Maintain the following healthy eating habits:

1. Abstain from sugar-sweetened drinks

Many beverages with healthy claims include extra sugars. Unfortunately, a number of harmful outcomes, including obesity, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and metabolic syndrome have been linked to excessive sugar consumption.

Adults should limit their intake of added sugar to less than 10% of their overall calorie intake, per the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. For a 2,000-calorie diet, this translates to around 12 tablespoons of sugar.

In moderation, swap out sugar-sweetened liquids like regular soda, sweet tea, sports drinks, and fruit “drinks” for no-sugar-added liquids like water, seltzer water, unsweetened coffee or tea, and even 100 percent fruit juice.

2. Include Fermented Foods in Your Diet

In addition to being scrumptious, fermented foods like kimchi, sauerkraut, and others give the body live probiotics that are beneficial to our overall health in a number of ways. Have a bowl of miso soup for dinner, start your day with plain yogurt, or have a cup of kombucha in the middle of the day for some fermented goodness.

3. Increase your fish consumption

According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the majority of Americans should consume at least 8 ounces of fish each week, yet most people fall well short of this amount. Fish, particularly oily fish like salmon, is high in DHA omega-3 fatty acids, selenium, vitamin B12, and a variety of other minerals that are beneficial to human health.

People who eat fish appear to live an extra 2.2 years on average. A variety of other possible health benefits of eating fish have been linked to it, including a lower risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

4. Eliminate all processed meat from your diet.

Highly processed meats such as lunch meats, bacon, and sausage are undoubtedly handy and delicious. However, these meat options may be high in nitrates, a component that, when cooked, can form possibly cancer-causing chemicals. Many of these meat options are also high in salt. Fresh cuts of meat, such as turkey, chicken, and beef, can be a lower-sodium, nitrate-free meat choice that tastes just as good.

5. Snacking on fruit

The daily recommended servings of fruits and vegetables are only consumed by one in ten Americans. Incorporating a little fruit into your diet each day is also a wise choice because a lack of fruit has been associated with harmful outcomes like a higher risk of some malignancies, heart disease, and stroke.

Fruit and protein may make your snack last longer, so making you feel fuller and averting a sharp drop in blood sugar after eating. Providing they don’t include added salt or sugar, dried, freeze-dried, and frozen fruit are all nutritious alternatives if you don’t have access to fresh fruit. The fruit collection also includes freeze-dried blueberries and dried mango slices.

6. Consume more vegetables

One of the finest sources of fiber, a vitamin that helps maintain gut health and perhaps lowers your risk of getting some malignancies, is vegetables. In addition, a lot of vegetables are low in calories and can provide a little more taste and satisfaction to food.

It’s not necessary to eat only salad every day of the week if you add veggies to your recipes. You may easily add more broccoli to your stir-fry or some spinach to your homemade soup to give your food a nutritious boost.

7. Eat Mindfully

You should savor the food you eat. Additionally, viewing TV while eating has been shown to impair various processes that typically support the voluntary management of food intake, which can lead to eating extra calories as a result of distraction.

Instead, savor your meals with loved ones. Or, at the absolute least, ensure that you aren’t watching TV when you’re eating.

8. Create a healthier diet plan

Meal planning may encourage individuals to eat a healthy diet and may even prevent obesity. You can manage your healthy eating with ease if you take the time to prepare your meals for the whole week. Make a plan for your meals for the whole week by making a meal plan.

Create a shopping list for yourself and prepare the ingredients for all of the week’s simple dinners.

9. Select the Varieties

Variety is essential for eating a healthy diet. Your body will get a range of nutrients from the foods you eat, and this may assist to minimize nutritional gaps. A diversity of healthful meals may also help lower the chance of having metabolic syndrome, according to several studies. The phrase “eat the rainbow” refers to the idea that individuals should try to consume foods that naturally include a range of colors during the course of the week.

All of these healthy foods—purple cabbage, orange carrots, red radishes, and green spinach—contain varied nutritional profiles. Rotating your meals may make your plate more interesting and provide your body with various essential nutrients each day.

10. Steer clear of fried meals

Nothing compares to biting into a crispy French fry or a piece of fried chicken. But a variety of harmful health impacts have been linked to eating too much deep-fried foods.

Instead of deep-frying your food, consider air-frying or baking it. Your dish will have a lovely crunch as a result.

11. Consume lean beef

Fans of beef will be happy to learn that it can be a part of a healthy diet since it contains iron, protein, zinc, and many other nutrients. Additionally, some beef cuts include higher saturated fat even if thinner beef cuts, such as flank steak, are undoubtedly healthy in a balanced diet.

12. Refrain from skipping meals

Everybody believes that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. New research provides an explanation for why this is the case. According to this research, eating breakfast often was associated with higher intakes of a variety of nutrients, including folate, calcium, and iron.

Those who miss breakfast also consume much more calories, carbs, total and saturated fat, and added sugars during lunch, dinner, and snacks than those who do.

13. Use herbs and spices

The average daily salt consumption in America is more than 3,400 mg, despite the Dietary Guidelines' suggestion of less than 2,300 mg. Your risk of developing hypertension may increase if you consume excessive amounts of salt on a daily basis.

Since 1 teaspoon of table salt has around 2,000 milligrams of sodium, start by reducing your salt consumption. Use flavorful, low-sodium items, such as herbs and spices, to provide flavor while reducing your salt intake.

Food / DIET SODA : One Of The Greatest Scam In Food Industry. by mosesdejaviano(m): 4:54pm On Oct 25, 2022
Many people take diet soda in order to reduce their sugar or calorie intake. Diet soda is a very popular beverage.

Diet soda was first marketed and introduced to people with diabetes, and later introduced to people trying to control their weight or reduce their sugar intake.

Ingredients in diet soda include artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, cyclamates, saccharin, acesulfame-k, sucralose and stevia. Colors such as carotenoids, anthocyanins, and caramel. Artificial flavours such as fruits, berries, and cola. Preservatives commonly used is potassium benzoate. They also have caffeine.

It comes with various brands such as diet Coke, Coke zero, Pepsi max, Sprite zero, ...... etc.

Though they don't have sugars but they are mixtures of carbonated water, artificial sweeteners, colours, flavours and other food additives.

Diet sodas are non nutritious. They are empty. There is no healthy fat, no protein and no healthy carb.

Observational studies have found that using artificial sweeteners and drinking high amounts of diet soda is associated with increased risk of obesity and metabolic syndrome such as diabetes type 2, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, chronic kidney disease, kidney stones....... etc.

Also studies have linked drinking diet soda while pregnant to preterm delivery and childhood obesity.

One study has shown that artificial sweeteners may alter the gut microbome and also increase the risk of osteoporosis.

Also there are multiple links of drinking diet sodas to headaches and migraines.

In conclusion, there are better beverage to take in place of diet sodas which include green tea, black tea, pure cocoa, water, lemon water, coconut water.......

Health / HIGH CHOLESTEROL (hypercholesterolemia) : The Ultimate Guide by mosesdejaviano(m): 5:34pm On Oct 21, 2022
High Cholesterol also known as HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA is a condition when you have too much fatty substance called CHOLESTEROL in your blood.

With high cholesterol, an individual can develop fatty deposits in his/her blood vessels. This can lead to clogging of the arteries. Most times these fat deposits can break suddenly and form a clot that causes a heart attack or stroke.

There is àn increase lately in the occurrence of high cholesterol which is leading to stroke. Stroke is the second highest cause of death worldwide. So there is an urgent ñeed to curb the astronomical high rate in occurrence.

Human diet contains fat, which is transported around the body. This is used to build membranes. Cholesterol are made in the liver as a complex of both fat and protein called LIPOPROTEIN and can be categorised as Very-Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL), Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and High Density Lipoprotein (HDL). The VLDL and LDL are bad cholesterol while HDL are considered good cholesterol.

The main cause of high cholesterol is associated with our lifestyles; your diet, your physical activities, your body weight (overweight and obesity), sleeping pattern, drinking habit, smoking and age.

Though there is genetic predisposition, as this can be inherited. But our lifestyles help to express any genetic predisposition. That is why living a healthy lifestyle can not be overemphasized.

High cholesterol can cause chest pain leading to associated feeling of tiredness, breathlessness and fatigue. Also it can cause tingly sensation and numbness. It can cause high blood pressure, diabetes, liver and kidney diseases.

Normal levels of cholesterol as recommended by CDC;
LDL : <100mg/dL
HDL : >60mg/dL
Triglycerides : <150mg/dL
Total Cholesterol : <200mg/dL

Increase your consumption of soluble fiber. Foods such as beans, avocados, oatmeal and green leafy vegetables help reduce high cholesterol.

Increase your consumption of Omega -3 fatty acids. Foods such as Salmon, Tuna, Mackerel are good sources of Omega 3 fatty acids. They help in reducing high cholesterol in the body.

Eliminate added sugars and refined carbs. Added sugars and refined carbs are inflammatory foods which can increase cholesterol in the body. Avoid sugary drinks, sweetened drinks, processed fruit juices, flavored milk drinks, energy drinks, white bread, white flour products, pastries, pastas, indomie, cakes.........

Food / Ovarian Cysts And Your Diet by mosesdejaviano(m): 1:02pm On Oct 19, 2022
Ovarian cysts are usually solid or fluid filled sac or pocket within or on the surface of an ovary.

If you are experiencing a punching sensation in your uterus or ovaries, you may have an Ovarian Cyst.

The overall function of ovaries and the hormones that govern the reproductive system are greatly influenced by nutrition.

Diet has been seen to play a major role in the development of Ovarian Cyst.

Studies have shown that women who experience frequent ovarian cyst go on to develop Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). This PCOS causes issues like irregular periods or amenorrhea as a result of multiple cyst on the ovaries.

Research has shown that about 50 percent of women with PCOS are overweight or obese. And that there is a link between insulin resistance and PCOS which makes it hard to lose weight.

Eating anti-inflammatory foods and hormone balancing foods can help provide a great deal of relief.

Foods such as; cabbage, cauliflower, green leafy vegetables, kale, broccoli, almonds, banana, fish, chicken, tumeric, ginger, garlic, tomatoes, Olive oil, avocado, beans, flaxseeds, cashews are foods that help reduce Ovarian Cyst.

Avoid these foods if you have Ovarian Cyst; white bread, anything made with white flour, sugary foods, fried foods, ice cream, junk foods, alcohol, coffee, cake, pastries, processed juices, soft drinks, cheese and butter.

PeaceJoyLove:


Thank you sir. You are right. Let me show you something. The US know that business people with experience are people who can think well. So for their researches, go and look at the kinds who are admited for PhD Business in top schools in the US. They are fresh undergraduates from engineering, computer science, and some mathematical disciplines cos they want people who can think very deep, or experienced people with minimum of 10 years.

One can also achieve the skills of being a deep thinker with experience. And I am happy you gat my point. These young lads who are programmers dont know how to think well. They must work under a deep thinker. But they aren't humble.

I know a 65 years old Naija man who vexed and picked up Python. Today, baba is doing well. Cos these boys are frustrators. And its not their fault. Naira is "yeye" now. Just imagine. They are even getting cash now after covid pandemic in the US. Indians are doing "yanga" now. So, they are giving more Naija boys remote jobs. Imagine a US company who pays an American $4,500 monthly, and then, finds an Indian man who agrees to take $2,500....is this not good? O boy, it is even juicy to find a smart Naija boy who gladly accepts $500. Oga, Buhari don turn that $500 to N247,500 oooo. Yeeepa! Imagine the guy dazzles them and they just say, let's upgrade him to Indian level, that is N1.2million for the boy or month. Tell me how this boy will not slap you if you tell him rubbish. grin It is the reason some of them are mannerless. Meanwhile, na peanut the boy is making compared to what is in the cooler.

Bros....money is in the air. Tap into it via your computer. This is legit and comfort from your room.

As regards dietetics, I went deeply into it during the pandemic. And I tell you that this is a huge area. Bros...I want to load something out but I have some technical challenges which I pray to solve soon. Do you know the number of people with Diabetics, high blood pressure, infections, autoimmune diseases which are aggravated or caused by poor diets? Yes, this is an area where there is big cash sir. I know how huge this business is when I started relating with oncologists. Sir, the money sick man spends is not small oooo. Hmmm!

This is plain truth but so pathetic. My supervisor during my master's degree days is a Professor of Medicine. He ventured into software development around the age of 65 too. He was the first person that developed a software for all our indegenious foods with their nutrient content.

He was patented for the software product. And I can tell you that it is a multi-million producing product. That is the only software we use when making diet plans and Nutritional recommendations.

There are huge gold mine that lies in every field that has interactions with people in Nigeria.

God will help us all. Thanks for your contribution.

@PeacejoyLove, kudos to your write-up. I read all your write-ups on this thread and they are top-notch. I like your style of writing.

I understand the angle from which you are writing. And this is very good. We need more of such writings.

Concerning being innovative, I think people that comes from other careers such as finance, agriculture and health to IT field have practicable ideas better than a full core IT guy from the beginning.

For example, I am a Clinical Dietitian with about 10years experience. I came into the field of IT in 2019. I saw that there is a huge gap and the necessity of IT in the field of Human Nutrition and Dietetics in Nigeria.

These innovative ideas are brought up by experiences gotten by years of working in the field of nutrition.

There are certain fields that require core IT guys to collaborate with experts in those various fields to be able to bring out innovative ideas that will be practicable in those fields.

I will continue to read more of your write-ups. Please I sent you an e-mail. Kindly respond to it.

Thanks.

The economic downturn facing this nation is caused by the handlers of economy of this COUNTRY.

Who are the economic advisers of this administration?

The current minister of finance is not even qualified to be a branch manager of a micro-finance bank let alone handling the country's economy.

If the Nigeria's economy can bend in the hand of a cerebral woman like Nkonjo Iweala, I wonder what will happen in the hand of this current handler.

The current minister of finance which finds it difficult to pass ICAN and become ICAN certified let alone talk about being ACCA certified. My younger brother is even more qualified than the present minister of finance. My younger brother is both ICAN and ACCA certified and also holds an MBA.

What rites were performed in the traditional ceremonies and whom were the alcoholic drinks offered to.

I am resisting the urge to delve into deep spiritisim to explain things



If Christians know what happens at the background of traditional rites in traditional ceremonies they won't do traditional weddings again



Do you know what the drinks, prayers the elders and kola and Co invokes spiritually?


I won't talk much on this. Find deep spiritual people to dig it deeper for you.

I told you no alcoholic drink or kolanut or diabolic item was collected.

A traditional marriage done by a deep rooted Christian family. The prayers are offered to God.

I want you to know that prayers offered during the traditional marriage is based on the spiritual convictions of the parents of the bride and groom.

But if the parents are believers and deep Christians. Holy spirit is the organizer and controller of the traditional marriage.

True but whom is the Kolanut, alcoholic drinks offered to.


And who is the rites prayer during the ceremonies offered to?


The altar is where it begins. The tar is the presence. Be it white cloths extravagance, two or three persons. Same way traditional elders hardly would come to the church is the same way Christian marital rites should maintain its honour

I don't know what is required for traditional marriage in the part where you came from. But from my own part, the traditional marriage that was done by my younger sister (blood sister) last December. We didn't ask for alcoholic drinks or kolanut or any diabolical items.

We asked for just normal items and dowry. And on that day. On that day, after prayers from both parents (both parents are pastors). More than 70 pastors were on ground too, where they prayed for the couple.

What I want you to know is that, traditional marriage is what the Bible instructs. And before God, after traditional marriage, they have consummated their union.

White wedding is good but not should be placed above the traditional marriage.

Any decision concerning sexual intimacy should be between the couple. The father of the wife has no authority or hand in it again.

The father is the father until after the marriage.. That's in God's presence, He that giveth the blessing in the marriage. Not in front of some ancestors in a traditional system. If some traditional elders are honored by presenting the intending couples before them, should God not get even greater honour?


Smh atheists and liberalised would do anything to attack Christian faith




Why it's so hard for them to take in is atheists and liberalised want to attack any concept of God to anything goes.


The sheer hypocrisy is what I find appalling. If they hate Christian marriage, they should leave Christian ladies and families alone simple.


If you won't marry a Christian lady the Christian way, please marry your kinds. Go for the traditional woman and after the traditional rites or even before, you can have your way

Hmmmmmmmm
Biblically, the traditional wedding is the one that fulfills the requirement of performing a marriage rite.

1 - Dowry was paid. That is the bride price has been fully paid.
2 - The parents of the bride willfully give their daughter to the man.
3- There is an agreement between the bride's and groom's family to finalize the marriage rite between the couple involved.
4- It is done publicly and not in the secret.
5- The intending couples both agreed to consummate their marriage proposal.
6 - Their are witnesses around during the marriage rite.
7- Both parents and witnesses blessed the couple during the marriage rite.

So if all these steps have been fulfilled, marriage has been contracted in the eyes of God.

White wedding is just the blessing of the priest and church, though this can be done on the traditional wedding ground.

N.B: *There are some Christian brothers that will take sisters to the altar without the family of the lady supporting marriage.

The brother in question will not pay the bride price of the lady and some churches will join them together in the church. This may be due to the fact that the family of the lady do not support their union

If such is done without paying the bride price and the parents of the lady does not willfully hand over their daughter to the guy. If the guy go ahead and do white wedding. Any sexual intimacy between the two (the guy and the lady) is FORNICATION

The decision to have sexual intimacy after the traditional marriage or after white wedding now lies between the couple. But before God, they have been joined together after traditional marriage.

Food / Obesity, Overweight And Infertility. by mosesdejaviano(m): 3:52pm On Jan 18, 2021
Obesity and Overweight have been an health issue which are very common among women of fertile age.

Both obesity and overweight have a great link to increased risk of diabetes mellitus, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases.

Research has shown that obese women are three times at risk of infertility than women who are not obese. And that the chance of getting pregnant reduce with high BMI.

Research also shows that men that are overweight and obese have reduced sperm count and reduced percentage of sperm with normal morphology.

In obese women, leptin levels are increased, which affects the sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), which thus affects the ovulatory pattern and fertility pattern in obese women.

This could lead to lower implantation rates and higher complications during pregnancy which could result to not being able to give birth to healthy babies.

Obesity may alter the release of ovaries. So obesity can cause hormonal imbalance which can affect the fertility rate of obese women.

There is excess production of adipose tissue which can lead to fertility disorders, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and may cause annovolation(when ovaries do not release during a menstrual cycle).

WAY OUT

- Weight loss is the ultimate solution to infertility issue caused by overweight and obesity.
- Working towards having a healthy BMI (BMI less than or equals to 25kg/m2).
-Treating an incidence of higher insulinemia.

Nutritionally, consumption of healthy diet have shown positive effects on weight loss.
- consume good carbs
- eat omega 3 and 6 fatty acids
- remove transfat from your diet
- increase the consumption of fibre
- follow healthy portion sizes

- Inculcate healthy lifestyle. Stop smoking, reduce alcohol consumption, exercise regularly and get adequate sleep.

Food / WEIGHT LOSS :The Proper Way (episode 1) by mosesdejaviano(m): 8:23am On Oct 03, 2020
Overweight and Obesity have become challenges many Adults are facing nowadays. Overweight and Obesity is as a result of an individual's lifestyle which include eating patterns or behaviours, physical activity level and sleeping behaviour.

There are lots of quick fixes and overnight solutions flying around in the social media space. Most of these solutions are coming from people who are not DIETITIANS/CLINICAL NUTRITIONISTS.

http:///Weight-Nutrition-Perspective2

Most of these solutions are coming from people who are not experts in the field of Human Nutrition and Dietetics.

People are listening and patronizing these non experts because they want to get rid of their Fats at all Cost.

The solutions offered to people by these non-professionals include Use Of Weight Loss Supplements, Intermittent Fasting, Eating One Meal Per Day, Eating Two Meals Per Day, Water Fasting, Calories Restrictions And Eating Uncooked Foods.

Though these methods seems to bring Temporal Weight Loss but these are not Permanent Weight Loss solutions.

The solutions offered by these non-professionals can result into Muscle Loss (Not Fat Loss), Nutrient Deficiencies, Development Of Metabolic Diseases Such As Diabetes And Hypertension, Doubled Weight Gain, Eating Disorders And Cravings.

I will be talking extensively on proper way and permanent way of having weight loss if you are Overweight or Obese. This piece of information is written from an angle of being an expert in the field of Human Nutrition and Dietetics.

From yesterday post I got lot of messages from people wanting to know about their BMI and how to calculate it. The Body Mass Index (BMI) can be used as an indicator for BODY FATNESS. It is gotten by calculating the ratio of an individual's weight to their height squared. Which is Mass (kg)/Height (m)2.

A BMI less than 18.5 is termed UNDERWEIGHT, BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is termed NORMAL WEIGHT, BMI between 25 and 29.9 is termed OVERWEIGHT, BMI greater than 30 is termed OBESE. We have OBESE TYPE 1 (BMI between 30 and 34.9). We have OBESE TYPE 2 (BMI between 35 and 39.9). OBESE TYPE 3(BMI greater than 40)

ARE THERE GOOD FATS AND ARE ALL FATS BAD?

Fat is an essential macro nutrient that the body needs for it's daily activities. There are good fats that the body needs.

Our body organs, tissues and cells make use of these good fats.

There are good fats such as UNSATURATED FATS: monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats (omega - 3 fatty acids and omega - 6 fatty acids). These good fats help in lowering blood pressure, reduce cholesterol levels, help in weight loss, reduce occurrence of heart attacks and stroke.

Food sources rich in UNSATURATED FATS include avocado oil, olive oil, peanut oil, sunflower oil, corn oil, salmon, mackerel, sardine, almonds, peanuts and cashew.

The bad fats are SATURATED AND TRANSFAT. They have been associated with high blood pressure, stroke, arteriosclerosis, heart attacks and weight gain.

Food sources of saturated and transfat include highly processed foods, cakes, cookies, processed meat, margarine, hydrogenated vegetable oil (ones sold in the market), ice-cream and red meat.

Your Body Weight is made up of Water Weight and Fat Weight. Eating more than your daily energy expenditure causes Weight Gain.

An individual can lose up to 2.3kg of water in a day. Fat mass doesn't change overnight.

Permanent weight loss center on lifestyle changes which include Eating Healthy, Physical Activity and Sleep.

Food / Does Milk + Malt Give Blood? (misconception About Milk And Malt) by mosesdejaviano(m): 5:31am On Aug 11, 2020
Though it has been seen in many hospitals after people have donated their blood, milk or malt or combination of both were given to blood donors.

So people believed they were given those items to replenish and boost the blood they donated.

This has influenced the belief of people to think the addition of milk and malt is good for boosting blood.

Most times at home when people notice an individual shows being anemic, you will see people giving such individual milk and malt.

This belief has become a general belief and there is need to inform people to know the best way to boost their blood and food sources they can eat to boost blood in their body..............................
