Celebrities"ON BECOMING" Chapter 1 - Toke Makinwa by sauta(op): 1:27am On Dec 06, 2016
CONFESSION

The pain started years ago, but I’d lived with it for so
long at that point, I had accepted it as an inevitable
part of me.

– Ashley D. Wallies

“She is nine months pregnant.”
For a whole day I have been going crazy and these words from my
husband, rather than restore my sanity, break me completely.
***
We start arguing from our bedroom. I tell Maje that I know his mistress is
pregnant, and that there is proof, but he keeps denying it.
“There is no way she can be pregnant,” he says. “I haven’t seen her since we
got married.”
“Call her.”
He is quiet.

“Call her!”
He dials a number and it rings, no one picks up. Then someone starts calling
back but he ignores the call.
“Pick up the phone, Maje.” I am screaming now.
“Okay. I’ll confess, I’ll confess. I’m trying to help her out.”
“Help her out with what? Is she pregnant, and why is it your responsibility
to help her out?”
“No, I have never cheated on you. I have never stepped out on you in this
marriage. You need to calm down. I’m just trying to help her.”
I remember a similar conversation we’d had two month before. I had found
tickets to London for his mistress, from November of the previous year, in
his inbox and asked him about it. He said she had reached out to him and
asked him if he had a link to book a ticket, and he decided to ‘help her out.’
He was also in London at the time, for work.
“Maje, a journalist is calling me saying that this girl is pregnant. Have you
even spoken to her?”
He continues to deny the story. And I lose it. I scream at him for what seems
like hours, not caring that the neighbours can hear me. He remains calm
all through, still denying. I feel crazy. Am I crazy? I’m jumping on the bed
at this point, our bed covers and beddings pushed back. I start to shake all
over. This cannot be happening to me; this is a dream, a horrible nightmare
I cannot wait to wake from.
I decide to call my pastor, to tell him what I heard and how Maje’s reaction
makes me feel crazy; or maybe I need some prayers, anything to explain how
I am feeling at this moment. My pastor has been seeing Maje and I before
now for counselling. We have been having issues for months, Maje always
in a sour mood, picking at every little thing I did. I’d found out in the course
of our counselling that Maje had once written an email to me requesting a
divorce but had deleted it, without sending, at our pastor’s request. So it
does not make any sense now that he is denying something that will give him
the freedom he wants. But then, this was classic Maje: never confess to any
wrong even in the face of the truth.
My pastor arrives, and I sit on the staircase while he talks to Maje in the
living room. I can’t hear what they’re saying from where I am. They talk for a
few minutes, and then my pastor calls me in. I walk into the living room, and
with one look at my pastor I know all hell has broken loose.
“Toke, I have to leave now,” my pastor says. “Your husband is going to talk
to you. Please be open and listen to him.” He says his goodbyes and leaves.
Maje heads upstairs to our bedroom.
My older sister, Opeyemi, and two of my closest friends, Modele and Arese,
come in at about the same time, full of questions I don’t have answers to. All
I can do is cry.
I leave them downstairs and go after Maje.
“. . . first she said her sister saw her at the airport. Then she said she saw
my car. Clearly, she’s just making things up. I don’t know what she’s talking
about.”
Maje’s voice stops me at the bedroom door. From the rest of his words I
figure he is talking to his brother.
I start screaming again as I enter the room. I take a bag and start filling it
with things I need. I am not going to spend another night under the same
roof with this man.
My sister and friends must have heard us arguing again. They come into the
room, and I ask Arese if I can move into her place. She refuses as she leads
me downstairs.
“This is your house,” she says. “If anyone has to move out it’s him and not
you. You know I’d love for you to come to my house, but you cannot leave
your home, not now, not ever, Toke. He is the one who will leave for you.
You did not sleep with another man, or are you the one who’s pregnant? He
is the one who’s committed an offence and he’s the one who should leave.”
Now we’re all downstairs in the living room, Maje too. I am tired from all the
tears and shouting. My sister is crying.
“Maje, this girl has given you everything,” she says. “What more do you
want? Our family was against her yet she stood her ground and she decided
to marry you. We all didn’t think you were going to change and here we are
4 5
right now. What is going on? Someone I know told me that Anita is pregnant
and you are responsible.”
Opeyemi is lying about someone having told her that Anita was pregnant,
but I do not point this out. I am desperate for the truth and willing to try
anything that helps. Yet again, Maje denies all of it.
I go on my knees in front of him, my voice as calm as I can make it. “Maje,
you can’t keep lying. What is going on?”
He walks away, leaving me there with my heart in my hands. I see him
pacing, back and forth, like he is having a private conversation. Then all of
a sudden, he walks back to the living room, looks straight into my eyes and
says, “She’s pregnant.”
I fall to the ground. My head narrowly misses the wall and the tears come
again. I roll from the carpet to the cold floor, sobbing loudly. Even though a
part of me already knows the truth, I cannot help but wish he had stuck to his
story and it turned out to be a rumour or a misunderstanding. I had thought
up all possible scenarios in my head that would make the story untrue:
Maybe someone saw me with her and made this story up. I’ve been lying to
her that I want to be with her and she’s trying to blackmail me.
Anything but this.
Modele is stunned; she doesn’t say a word. My sister is crying with me. Arese
is calm. She stands in front of Maje. “All right, no problem. What can we
do?” She turns to me to say, “Toke, shut up,” cutting off my screams of I am
dead and I am finished.
“Maje, what can we do?” Arese continues. “Can we call her? Where can we
get the best doctors? What are our options?”
“It’s too late.”
“What do you mean it’s too late?”
“She’s nine months pregnant, nearly full term.”
***
How had I missed the signs? Maje and I had our problems but I had always
felt they were the teething issues every marriage had, especially in its first
years; a common getting-used-to-forever phase where both parties finally
realize that it won’t be all sunny skies and long walks on the beach, but also
a constant determination to see good even in bad and frustrating situations.
And I really thought we had made it through the worst of it.
I head upstairs to Maje, where he has gone after admitting the truth. My
friends try to stop me but I tell them I need to talk to him.
He is sitting on the table in our bedroom, his face closed off, no expression
or emotion whatsoever.
“What’s she having?”
“A boy,” he says.
“How long have you known?”
“I’ve always known.”
“Why, Maje, why?” Tears are streaming down my face again. “Where did I
go wrong?”
He is quiet for a moment.
“It was what I thought I wanted,” he says finally.
Everything comes together in my head. This is June; if she’s nine months
pregnant, she took in November, when he was in London. Other scenes play
back in my head, things that I’d dismissed when they happened.
I ask him to leave. It is close to 11 pm on a Thursday night but I don’t care.
He doesn’t leave immediately. He is hungry, he says, and asks the cook to
make him dinner. We, my friends, my sister and I, sit in the living room
downstairs while he eats in the upstairs one. He finishes his meal and leaves
at about midnight.
***
That night, I toss and turn, my heart racing, refusing to settle down.
I remember the girl I was when I met Maje, and the years spent loving him. I
6
know it won’t be long before the story breaks, and I cry some more. Just as I
am about to surrender to sleep my alarm goes off. It is 4.15 am and I have to
get ready to be on radio at 5 am.

Expect chapter 2 later so I dont get blocked for posting back to back.

CelebritiesRe: 5 Things Other Celebrities Should Pick From Toke Makinwa's Story by sauta(op): 4:35pm On Dec 02, 2016
Celebrities5 Things Other Celebrities Should Pick From Toke Makinwa's Story by sauta(op): 4:33pm On Dec 02, 2016
Toke Makinwa released a tell-all book titled “On Becoming” about her life on November 27, 2016 and the social media sphere has been buzzing about this.
Many have criticised her for the contents of the book; love her or hate her, the media personality is turning the negative to positive and making money out of it.
Here are five things Nigerian celebrities can learn from the media personality:

1. Control your narrative
Once the news of the infidelity in Toke Makinwa’s marriage surfaced, everyone had an opinion on how it should be handled.
The radio personality kept mum on the situation and finally quenched the thirst of busybodies in her new book. Everyone was already talking and guessing what was going on behind closed doors. Now she’s told her story herself and is cashing out from this.

2. Stay ready
Toke Makinwa is a celebrity and she knows this. She knows people are always watching - watching her on TV or on her YouTube vlog, listening on radio and following her on social media. The personality is a queen when it comes to packaging and facing the spotlight.

3. Promote your brand
You can’t sit back and assume your brand will get the necessary buzz without you doing the work. Toke Makinwa is passionate about her brand and has made it her job to see to it that she succeeds.

4. Be creative
She was releasing a book, yet she was very creative in the manner in which it was released. On her birthday, November 3, 2016, she announced she had been working on a project titled “On Becoming” and released a video directed by Kemi Adetiba to tease the arrival of the book.

5. Work with a team
We can’t stress this enough - you can’t do this alone. You’ve got to work with a team. With how Makinwa has positioned her brand, from her fashion style to her business decisions, she’s obviously not doing this alone.

Romance11 Things You Should Never Do For Your Lover by sauta(op): 9:47pm On Nov 25, 2016
We understand quite well that men would do anything possible, go the extra mile to please and satisfy any woman they are interested in. However, most times men act so childish to go about this interest.

It is not bad to please a woman but over doing it makes one st*pid. As a man, you must be smart enough to read in between the lines to know what’s favourable and what’s not.

We are not saying you shouldn’t be romantic, it is a good thing to be romantic but not to the detriment of yourself and you should know that just because something might be done in the name of love does not make it the right thing to do and these are the few you should try as much as possible to avoid or never be tempted to do for a woman, regardless.

1. Commit a crime for her: Obviously, we all know where this will end you and by the time you will be back, someone might have taken your place. Never allow anything to push you to steal in order to please your woman because if she later finds out you actually stole a gift for her, she might drop you, unless of course, you are in it together like Bonny and Clyde.

2. Go out of your way to provide for her: No one is asking you not to please your woman, but doing it to the extreme is what you should avoid. Some men put themselves under unnecessary pressure because they want to see to the basic needs of their partners. Some men pay their women’s school fees and do everything they could for them. It is pathetic to know that some of these women still walk away after the men must have invested in them. This is really not fair; in order not to nurse a feeling of rejection, it would be best to do things out of the goodness of your heart and not because you want to please her.

3. Give up your dreams for her: It is no longer love when you decide to give up your dreams and aspirations because of a woman. You should not stop living because you have found love. While you are in love, there should be a synergy between the two of you; you should have similar life goals and objectives in order to have the best out of that relationship. There have been cases where men lack the will to live because the women they built their lives around left. Do not make silly life choices because you are in love.




4. Buy her a house/ car when you don’t have one: Common sense should tell you, you should build your dreams together but not favour her and think of yours later. Building a house or buying a car for a woman when you don’t have one yourself can make you is wrong in every way. When she finally jilts you and lives in it with another man. There are many men still biting their fingers over this.

5. Fight another man because of her: Fighting because of her doesn’t prove anything. Two things are likely to happen, either the person beats you to a pulp and end up in the hospital or you will beat the person and end up in jail, either way, you don’t win. Unless it is for self-defence.

6. Reject your family because of her: A family is everything and no matter what, you can’t reject them because your woman doesn’t like them. It will be very dangerous on your part to reject your family all because of a woman.

7. Change your appearance: These days, men take pills or hit the gym all because of a woman. You should not do all that because of a woman. She may have your best interest at heart, but you should only improve your appearance because you want to.

8. Being over-submissive: It is nice to be sweet to your woman but always learn to set the records straight and don’t try to always appear weak to her and succ*mb to all her wishes in the interest of pleasing her. Truth is, women actually hate weak men and will prefer you’re sweet and sour.

9. Starve yourself for her: Never forfeit your food for her, at least you can share but to give all to her and go hungry, that’s not love, that’s st*pidity.

10. Die for her, literally: So many men have committed suicide because of a woman. What’s the sense in it when you’re finally dead and gone. Live to fight another day.

11. Yeah! I will leave this place for you guys to add yours. If you have any thing a man should never do for a woman, kindly drop it in the comment box below…

CelebritiesEye Witnesses Say This Isn't Seun Egbegbe(producer) 1st Time by sauta(op): 11:50pm On Nov 23, 2016
Yesterday, November 22, 2016, Toyin Aimakhu's ex-boyfriend, Seun Egbegbe, was accused of stealing 10 iPhones from Computer Village, Ikeja, Lagos.
In earlier reports, eyewitnesses said Egbegbe went to a certain Keelcech Innovations Store, took some iPhone 7 and iPhone 6 plus mobile phones, told the sales girl he was coming, and then crossed to enter his car.

Following this, the producer was beaten by a mob and taken to the police station.
Egbegbe released a statement denying this, his publicist also denied the allegations. According to her, "Seun Egbegbe was at Keelcech shop, located at no 9, medical road, ikeja, to purchase some phones.
After making his order from the shop sales rep & walking towards his car to pay up the balance of the phones, the sales rep claimed he's bolting away with the phones which was never true.
Before Seun Egbegbe could say a word to the angry mob around, he was attacked and lynched with no explanation."

In a state of confusion, Pulse paid a visit to the hubbub of Lagos where Seun Egbegbe was portrayed by merchants as a notorious thief who uses charms on people before stealing.
Eye witnesses say Egbegbe has been doing that in computer village for a long time now.
A store keeper revealed Egbegbe pretended to be ready for payment at 10:00am that said day after the phones were delivered to him only for him to go into the waiting jeep before the sales girl screamed for help.
The noise attracted shopkeepers who gave Egbegbe a hot chase and eventually caught up with him before he could find his way out of computer village.
He was beaten by the angry mob before the police whisked him away.
An eye witness said, "Just last week Friday, November 18, 2016, Egbegbe walked into a shop and stole 2million naira worth of goods. He was successful."
How he was able to walk away with all that is, however, unclear.
Traders at Ikeja revealed to Pulse Egbegbe targets new phone shops in the area in the early hours of the morning before other shop owners begin to open.

CelebritiesSeyi Law Attacked By Hoodlums On The Street by sauta(op):
Seyi Law has a lot to be thankful for after being attacked by hoodlums on his way home at Apongbon, Lagos Island.
The comedian shared his harrowing experience via his Instagram page on Tuesday, November 22, thanking God for keeping him safe.

According to Seyi Law, himself and his friend were attacked after his car broke down at Apongbon and his friend was stabbed multiple time by the hoodlums in their bid to extort them of their valuables.
He shared a photo of hands bloodied from injuries sustained during the attack, assumed to be those of his friends.

On the post, he wrote, “God is indeed God of all.
"Let me just thank God for seeing me through all the challenges of the past month. Friends have not been able to get through to me due to the tedious schedules and happenings.
"Finally, today I thought I was going home and having tomorrow all to myself to rest and catch up with friends only to have my car break down at Apongbon and some hoodlums attacked stabbing my friend in multiple places just because they wanted phones and money.
"What would have become of me today? I am so grateful to God Almighty. They escaped before Police arrived, but I asked myself if people had come to our rescue and descended on the hoodlums wouldn’t people say SEYILAW was involved in jungle justice? Hmmmmm. Ka sa ma dupe.
"Thanks to the ever active Lagos Police PRO, SP Dolapo Badmos, @opetodolapo and all those that responded to my calls. God bless you.”
The comedian applauded the efforts of the Lagos Police PRO, SP Dolapo Badmos, for their speedy response to his plight.

FamilyMy Wife by sauta(op): 10:55am On Nov 22, 2016
"MY WIFE, I AM SORRY"
He woke up in the morning and found her
praying. He heard her praying for him. He
stared at her. It has been a long time since he
has seen her praying. For the past few months,
they have been arguing. Last night, they had a
nasty fight. He went to the kitchen in a hurry to
prepare himself breakfast. These past days,
she hasn't been cooking for him. Shock on him.
He found breakfast already set at the table. He
ate. He went back to the bedroom, to prepare
for a shower. She left the shower. "Good
morning. Have a blessed day" she said as she
entered the bedroom and he left for the
bathroom. After his shower, all dressed up for
work; he found his wife at the kitchen, eating
breakfast in peace. She was looking at some
funny videos on her phone and giggling. He
looked at her then walked out the door. The
last look he had of her before he left was of
her at peace. That last look disturbed him. This
is not how she should be. This is not how she
has been. He has been hurting her, she has
recently found out that he has been flirting
with other women, he has cheated once and
used money meant for their family on other
women. She should be angry. Her peaceful
demeanour disturbed him. Evening came. He went
home and met his peaceful wife again. She was
cooking and laughing with their children. She
had come from work two hours ago.The dinner
was enjoyable. Good food, she having warm
conversations with the children. He as the
father felt left out. His wife and children
seemed to be having fun despite him hurting
them. After dinner, as she washed the dishes
and the children had gone to bed. He
approached her. "Are you OK?" he asked her.
"I am more than OK. I am blessed "She
answered. "Are you not mad at me? After all
that I am doing and have done wrong?" he
asked. She placed the washed plate in the rack
then looked at him and said, "I asked myself,
what is the most important relationship in my
life? The one I have with you or the one with
God? And I realized it is the one with God. I live
for God, not for you. Marrying you was a
blessing but it is not all there is in life. God has
blessed me with life and I will not waste it
crying because of the hurt you cause me to
feel "She picked up a dirty glass and began
washing it. "I realized I had given you too much
power... Yes, you are my husband, the closest
human being in my life and the human being I
love the most; but you are not God. You have
failed me but God never fails me. I will not let
you ruin my joy, my peace and my progress.
You break our marriage if you want to, but I
will hold on to God. And as I hold on to God, I
will be full of joy despite what you do "She said
rinsing the glass. She looked at him and
continued, "When you hurt me and disrespected
me, I realized I was acting out like a woman
who has no God. I got mad and hurled insults,
I wanted to revenge and I allowed you to mess
me day after day. My performance at work
went down, I talked less to our children, I
became bitter to the children, I felt sorry for
myself, I developed ulcers. And then I realized,
I have God, I shouldn't act like someone with no
relationship with God. Why should I be hopeless
yet God is with me? I had focused so much on
you that I forgot about God. When you found
me, I had God. We dated and got married and I
let everything be about you because I wanted
to make our marriage work. Our marriage
became the idol I worship instead of the
blessing I have in God. Our marriage is failing
apart because of you but my relationship with
God is still intact "She scrubbed the
pot. "You have chosen to abandon our
marriage but that doesn't mean my whole world
has collapsed. I will still continue being a good
mother to our children. They will never say the
problems between mom and dad, made mom a
monster. You do as you please with other
women, I will raise our children. "She looked at
him and told him, "Do I hate you? No, it will be a
lie to say I hate you. You are the man I
married, the one I vowed to, the one I
love "Tears fell down her cheeks. She wiped
them. "I can't just cancel all the years we have
been together. The Quran as well as the Bible asks us to love our
enemies. If I am able to love my enemies,
surely I can still love you despite all you have
done. I am angry and disappointed, but I have
taken my power back. I live for God who has
exceedingly blessed me, not for you and the
pain you cause "She wiped her wet hands, took
the apron from her body and told him, "In my
peace, I am planning on where the children and
I will move to. Since you have chosen to have
an affair, you have shown clearly that you
don't need us. So we will not make your life
uncomfortable by forcing you to live with us.
You need to be able to bring the woman you are
cheating with to your own house. I am working
on something. I came into this house in peace
and I will leave in peace. You will not kill my
smile and shine "She walked to the
bedroom. Minutes later. He followed her to the
bedroom. He found her peacefully asleep.He
nudged her. He woke her up and said,
"Please don't go, don't move out. I will hurt you
no
more, I will cheat no more. I am not OK. I want
the peace you have. I want to be the kind of
husband you are as a wife. "Since that day, he
has been a reformed man. No more affairs, no
more
hurting her, no flirting with other women, or
endless fights. She didn't move out. She and
the children stayed. He submitted to God and
learned how to be a good husband, Love is
powerful enough to humble the most proud .

Romance7 Tactics Of How To Kiss A Girl Passionately That Every Guy Must Know! by sauta(op): 9:53pm On Nov 21, 2016
There is a need of passion in every relationship, so if you are in one, you will need to develop it. You can achieve that by kissing, cuddling and pampering plays.

That is the reason why in this article we will present you some tricks, so you would be a better kisser for your partner.

– Bite your girlfriend gently while you are kissing her, in order to share some seductive and passionate kisses. It would also be even better if you start kissing her cheeks and neck.

– The Fresh kiss is the most passionate and seductive kiss (it is a kiss in which you use your tongue gently in her mouth).

– Before going on a date with your girlfriend, put some lip balm, so your lips won’t be dry when you kiss her. That will result in better kissing at the end of the date.

– Always choose good places for kissing, such as movie theaters. So, don’t rush to bring your girlfriend right in your bedroom, if you are still in the start of your relationship.

FamilyShe Got To Know Her Husband Has Another Wife At His Father's Burial... by sauta(op): 12:01pm On Nov 21, 2016
My name is Chioma, a 36-year-old woman who has been married for 10 years with three children.
But as things have turned out, I am not sure I will be able to stay in my marriage after I found out that my husband, Ebuka, has another wife with four children.
And the most painful thing is that I found out only at his father's burial two months ago and all his explanations have not convinced me in any way.
I never dreamt of being a second wife neither would I want to share my husband with another woman, so I feel the best thing for me to do is to pack out of Ebuka's wife with my children so that his first wife can have peace because if we live together, there will be no peace in the house.
If Ebuka had told me he was married, there was no way I would have agreed to marry him in the first place and keeping such thing a secret from me for 10 years is the highest form of betrayal.
You can then imagine my shock when we all went home for my father-in-law's burial and while we were cooking, I noticed there was this woman who shared my space with me and we sort of related well.
I also noticed how the family members and the village people kept greeting us and calling us co-wives. In my mind, I thought the woman was one of Ebuka's brother's wife and I did not give much thought to it.
But in the night leading to the burial date, there was a family meeting called and it was there that the family head explained that the woman I cooked with was actually my husband's first wife and lived in one of his houses in the village.
The man said I should just accept the situation and continue to live as one family. I was thrown into a state of shock at the revelation and naturally, I stormed out of the meeting and went to my quarters.
Ebuka later came and explained to me that he and the woman had separated by the time we got married but that the family members had been on his neck to bring her back.
But since then, I have not been myself and I have vowed to take my children and leave him with his first wife.
Chioma."
Dear readers, you have read Chioma's story and on Morning Teaser today, we ask you to advise her on what to do in this situation.

SportsPep Guardiola Banned Lionel Messi From Having Sex After Midnight’ – Samir Nasri by sauta(op): 11:42am On Nov 18, 2016
Man City footballer Samir Nasri, currently on loan at Sevilla, has revealed how Man City coach, Pep Guardiola, who was once a Barcelona coach, banned Barcelona player Lionel Messi from having sexual relations after midnight.
He also revealed that Guardiola also banned the Man City team from doing the same thing so that the players can be stronger at morning and recover from muscular injuries.
Nasri was one of a number of players who failed to convince the Spaniard of his fitness and worth to the team, he later joined Sevilla on a season-long loan deal in the final days of the transfer window.


“I’ll be honest, I fell in love with (Jorge) Sampaoli (Sevilla coach)” Nasri admitted to L’Equipe magazine. He’s a mix between Bielsa and Guardiola, with whom I was with in preseason and he made me realise some things. Guardiola told me that I was a mess, he told me several times and even kicked me in the butt, literally.

“When I returned from holiday having had a year with injury problems and personal life problems, I was a little out of shape. Not as much as what was said but a few, four kilos overweight; For Guardiola, over 2.5 kilos and you do not you train with the group.”

“Guardiola told me with your qualities you should not be at Manchester City, you should be at Barcelona. We had some discussions, he wanted me to stay and play for him. I told him no, because he couldn’t assure me a first team place, I wanted to play. He told me he thought I was making a mistake, but I still have a 2 year contract.

“For him, his players sexual activity must take place before midnight in order to get a good night sleep – even if they are free tomorrow. He (Guardiola) said that he placed this rule on Messi and his muscles improved since.”

‘He told us this is how he managed to get the best out of [Robert] Lewandowski too and for them to avoid the maximum number of muscular injuries. He suppressed many things that were in the kitchen.’

‘With Guardiola, on the first day of training, you know how you should play, how to squeeze and also how to stand off the ball,’ he said. ‘The next day, you have videos for everything that you have to do. He will not bully you, but he will do everything to make you progress, to get you to know you how to position yourself and how to play. He’s a picky person.’

HealthSee 12 Healthy Tips Of Ginger by sauta(op): 10:05am On Nov 07, 2016
Ginger is among the healthiest (and most delicious) spices on the planet.
It is loaded with nutrients and bioactive compounds that have powerful benefits for your body and brain.
Here are 11 health benefits of ginger that are supported by scientific research.
1. Ginger Contains Gingerol, a Substance With Powerful Medicinal Properties

Ginger is a flowering plant that originated from China.
It belongs to the Zingiberaceae family, and is closely related to turmeric, cardomon and galangal.
The rhizome (underground part of the stem) is the part commonly used as a spice. It is often called ginger root, or simply ginger.
Ginger has a very long history of use in various forms of traditional/alternative medicine. It has been used to help digestion, reduce nausea and help fight the flu and common cold, to name a few.
This is what ground, fresh and sliced ginger looks like:
Fresh, Sliced and Ground Ginger
Ginger can be used fresh, dried, powdered, or as an oil or juice, and is sometimes added to processed foods and cosmetics. It is a very common ingredient in recipes.
The unique fragrance and flavor of ginger come from its natural oils, the most important of which is gingerol.
Gingerol is the main bioactive compound in ginger, responsible for much of its medicinal properties. It has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
2. Ginger Can Treat Many Forms of Nausea, Especially Morning Sickness

Fresh Ginger
Ginger appears to be highly effective against nausea.
For example, it has a long history of use as a sea sickness remedy, and there is some evidence that it may be as effective as prescription medication.
Ginger may also relieve nausea and vomiting after surgery, and in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
But it may be the most effective when it comes to pregnancy-related nausea, such as morning sickness.
According to a review of 12 studies that included a total of 1,278 pregnant women, 1.1-1.5 grams of ginger can significantly reduce symptoms of nausea.
However, ginger had no effect on vomiting episodes in this study.
Although ginger is considered safe, talk to your doctor before taking large amounts if you are pregnant. Some believe that large amounts can raise the risk of miscarriage, but there are currently no studies to support this.
Bottom Line: 1-1.5 grams of ginger can help prevent various types of nausea. This applies to sea sickness, chemotherapy-related nausea, nausea after surgery and morning sickness.
3. Ginger May Reduce Muscle Pain and Soreness

Dumbbells
Ginger has been shown to be effective against exercise-induced muscle pain.
In one study, consuming 2 grams of ginger per day, for 11 days, significantly reduced muscle pain in people performing elbow exercises.
Ginger does not have an immediate impact, but may be effective at reducing the day-to-day progression of muscle pain.
These effects are believed to be mediated by the anti-inflammatory properties.
Bottom Line: Ginger appears to be effective at reducing the day-to-day progression of muscle pain, and may reduce exercise-induced muscle soreness.
4. The Anti-Inflammatory Effects Can Help With Osteoarthritis

Fresh and Sliced Ginger
Osteoarthritis is a common health problem.
It involves degeneration of the joints in the body, leading to symptoms like joint pain and stiffness.
In a controlled trial of 247 people with osteoarthritis of the knee, those who took ginger extract had less pain and required less pain medication.
Another study found that a combination of ginger, mastic, cinnamon and sesame oil, can reduce pain and stiffness in osteoarthritis patients when applied topically.
Bottom Line: There are some studies showing ginger to be effective at reducing symptoms of osteoarthritis, which is a very common health problem.
5. Ginger May Drastically Lower Blood Sugars and Improve Heart Disease Risk Factors

This area of research is relatively new, but ginger may have powerful anti-diabetic properties.
In a recent 2015 study of 41 participants with type 2 diabetes, 2 grams of ginger powder per day lowered fasting blood sugar by 12%.
It also dramatically improved HbA1c (a marker for long-term blood sugar levels), leading to a 10% reduction over a period of 12 weeks.
There was also a 28% reduction in the ApoB/ApoA-I ratio, and a 23% reduction in markers for oxidized lipoproteins. These are both major risk factors for heart disease.
This graph shows what happened:
Khandouzi, et al - 2015Photo Source: Suppversity.
However, keep in mind that this was just one small study. The results are incredibly impressive, but they need to be confirmed in larger studies before any recommendations can be made.
Bottom Line: Ginger has been shown to lower blood sugar levels and improve various heart disease risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes.
6. Ginger Can Help Treat Chronic Indigestion

Pile of Ground Ginger
Chronic indigestion (dyspepsia) is characterized by recurrent pain and discomfort in the upper part of the stomach.
It is believed that delayed emptying of the stomach is a major driver of indigestion.
Interestingly, ginger has been shown to speed up emptying of the stomach in people with this condition.
After eating soup, ginger reduced the time it took for the stomach to empty from 16 to 12 minutes.
In a study of 24 healthy individuals, 1.2 grams of ginger powder before a meal accelerated emptying of the stomach by 50%.
Bottom Line: Ginger appears to speed up emptying of the stomach, which can be beneficial for people with indigestion and related stomach discomfort.
7. Ginger Powder May Significantly Reduce Menstrual Pain

Menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea) refers to pain felt during a woman’s menstrual cycle.
Young Woman With Bloated Stomach
One of the traditional uses of ginger is for pain relief, including menstrual pain.
In one study, 150 women were instructed to take 1 gram of ginger powder per day, for the first 3 days of the menstrual period.
Ginger managed to reduce pain as effectively as the drugs mefenamic acid and ibuprofen.
Bottom Line: Ginger appears to be very effective against menstrual pain when taken at the beginning of the menstrual period.
8. Ginger May Lower Cholesterol Levels

Heart and Stethoscope
High levels of LDL lipoproteins (the “bad” cholesterol) are linked to an increased risk of heart disease.
The foods you eat can have a strong influence on LDL levels.
In a 45-day study of 85 individuals with high cholesterol, 3 grams of ginger powder caused significant reductions in most cholesterol markers.
This is supported by a study in hypothyroid rats, where ginger extract lowered LDL cholesterol to a similar extent as the cholesterol-lowering drug atorvastatin.
Both studies also showed reductions in total cholesterol and blood triglycerides.
Bottom Line: There is some evidence, in both animals and humans, that ginger can lead to significant reductions in LDL cholesterol and blood triglyceride levels.
9. Ginger Contains a Substance That May Help Prevent Cancer

Ginger Tea
Cancer is a very serious disease that is characterized by uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells.
Ginger extract has been studied as an alternative treatment for several forms of cancer.
The anti-cancer properties are attributed to 6-gingerol, a substance that is found in large amounts in raw ginger.
In a study of 30 individuals, 2 grams of ginger extract per day significantly reduced pro-inflammatory signalling molecules in the colon.
However, a follow-up study in individuals at a high risk of colon cancer did not confirm these findings.
There is some, albeit limited, evidence that ginger may be effective against pancreatic cancer, breast cancer and ovarian cancer. More research is needed.
Bottom Line: Ginger contains a substance called 6-gingerol, which may have protective effects against cancer. However, this needs to be studied a lot more.
10. Ginger May Improve Brain Function and Protect Against Alzheimer’s Disease

Ginger Root in a Wooden Bowl and Spoon
Oxidative stress and chronic inflammation can accelerate the aging process.
They are believed to be among the key drivers of Alzheimer’s disease and age-related cognitive decline.
Some studies in animals suggest that the antioxidants and bioactive compounds in ginger can inhibit inflammatory responses that occur in the brain .
There is also some evidence that ginger can enhance brain function directly. In a study of 60 middle-aged women, ginger extract was shown to improve reaction time and working memory.
There are also numerous studies in animals showing that ginger can protect against age-related decline in brain function.
Bottom Line: Studies suggest that ginger can protect against age-related damage to the brain. It can also improve brain function in elderly women.
11. The Active Ingredient in Ginger Can Help Fight Infections

Ground Ginger in Wooden Spoon
Gingerol, the bioactive substance in fresh ginger, can help lower the risk of infections.
In fact, ginger extract can inhibit the growth of many different types of bacteria.
It is very effective against the oral bacteria linked to inflammatory diseases in the gums, such as gingivitis and periodontitis.
Fresh ginger may also be effective against the RSV virus, a common cause of respiratory infections.
12. Anything Else?

Ginger is one of the very few “superfoods” actually worthy of that term.

HealthSee 12 Useful Tips On Avocado by sauta(op): 9:57am On Nov 07, 2016
The avocado is a rather unique type of fruit.
Most fruit consists primarily of carbohydrate, while avocado is high in healthy fats.
Numerous studies show that it has powerful beneficial effects on health.
Here are 12 health benefits of avocado, that are supported by scientific research.
1. Avocado is Incredibly Nutritious

What we refer to as “avocado” is the fruit of the avocado tree, called Persea americana.
This fruit is prized for its high nutrient value and is added to all sorts of dishes due to its good flavor and rich texture. It is the main ingredient in guacamole.
These days, the avocado has become an incredibly popular food among health conscious individuals. It is often referred to as a superfood… which is not surprising given its health properties.
There are many kinds of avocados, and the shape (from pear-shaped to round) and color (from green to black) can vary between them. They can also weigh anywhere from 8 ounces (220 grams) to 3 pounds (1.4 kg).
The most popular type is called Hass avocado.
This is what a typical avocado looks like:
Avocado Sliced in Half
It is often called “alligator pear,” which is very descriptive because it tends to be shaped like a pear and have green, bumpy skin… like an alligator.
The yellow-green flesh inside the fruit is eaten, but the skin and seed are discarded.
Avocados are very nutritious and contain a wide variety of nutrients, including 20 different vitamins and minerals.
Here are some of the most abundant nutrients, in a single 3.5 ounce (100 gram) serving:
Vitamin K: 26% of the RDA.
Folate: 20% of the RDA.
Vitamin C: 17% of the RDA.
Potassium: 14% of the RDA.
Vitamin B5: 14% of the RDA.
Vitamin B6: 13% of the RDA.
Vitamin E: 10% of the RDA.
Then it contains small amounts of Magnesium, Manganese, Copper, Iron, Zinc, Phosphorous, Vitamin A, B1 (Thiamine), B2 (Riboflavin) and B3 (Niacin).
This is coming with 160 calories, 2 grams of protein and 15 grams of healthy fats. Although it contains 9 grams of carbs, 7 of those are fiber so there are only 2 “net” carbs, making this a low-carb friendly plant food.
Avocados do not contain any cholesterol or sodium, and are low in saturated fat. I personally don’t think that matters, but this is one of the reasons they are favored by many “old school” experts who still believe these things are inherently harmful.
Bottom Line: Avocado is a green, pear-shaped fruit often called an “alligator pear.” It is loaded with healthy fats, fiber and various important nutrients.
2. They Contain More Potassium Than Bananas

Avocado
Potassium is a nutrient that most people aren’t getting enough of.
This nutrient helps maintain electrical gradients in the body’s cells and serves various important functions.
Avocados are actually very high in potassium… with a 100 gram (3.5 ounce) serving containing 14% of the RDA, compared to 10% in bananas, which are a typical high potassium food.
Several studies show that having a high potassium intake is linked to reduced blood pressure, a major risk factor for heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure.
Bottom Line: Potassium is an important mineral that most people don’t get enough of. Avocados are very high in potassium, which should support healthy blood pressure levels.
3. Avocado is Loaded With Heart-Healthy Monounsaturated Fatty Acids

Avocado Oil
Again, avocado is a high fat food.
In fact, 77% of the calories in it are from fat, making it one of the fattiest plant foods in existence.
But they don’t just contain any fat… the majority of the fat in avocado is oleic acid.
This is a monounsaturated fatty acid that is also the major component in olive oil and believed to be responsible for some of its beneficial effects.
Oleic acid has been linked to reduced inflammation and been shown to have beneficial effects on genes linked to cancer.
The fats in avocado are also pretty resistant to heat-induced oxidation, making avocado oil a healthy and safe choice for cooking.
Bottom Line: Avocados and avocado oil are high in monounsaturated oleic acid, a “heart healthy” fatty acid that is believed to be one of the main reasons for the health benefits of olive oil.
4. Avocados Are Loaded With Fiber

Smiling Young Woman, Holding an Avocado
Fiber is another nutrient found in relatively large amounts in avocado.
Fiber is indigestible plant matter that can contribute to weight loss, reduce blood sugar spikes and is strongly linked to a lower risk of many diseases.
A distinction is often made between soluble and insoluble fiber.
Soluble fiber is known to be able to feed the friendly gut bacteria in the intestine, which are very important for the optimal function of our bodies.
A 100 gram (3.5 ounce) serving of avocado contains 7 grams of fiber, which is 27% of the recommended daily amount.
About 25% of the fiber in avocado is soluble, while 75% is insoluble.
Bottom Line: Avocados tend to be high in fiber, about 7% by weight, which is very high compared to most other foods. Fiber can have various important benefits for weight loss and metabolic health.
5. Eating Avocados Can Lower Cholesterol and Triglyceride Levels

Heart and Stethoscope
Heart disease is the most common cause of death in the world.
It is known that several blood markers are linked to an increased risk.
This includes cholesterol, triglycerides, inflammatory markers, blood pressure and various others.
The effects of avocado on some of these risk factors has been studied in 8 human controlled trials.
These are studies where people are split into groups… one group is instructed to eat avocados, while the other is not. Then researchers see what happens to their blood markers over time.
These studies have shown that avocados can:
Reduce total cholesterol levels significantly.
Reduce blood triglycerides by up to 20%.
Lower LDL cholesterol by up to 22%.
Increase HDL (the “good”) cholesterol by up to 11%.
One of the studies showed that including avocado in a low-fat vegetarian diet led to improvements in the cholesterol profile.
Unfortunately, all of the human studies were small (13-37 subjects) and short-term (1-4 weeks), but the results were impressive nonetheless.
Bottom Line: Numerous studies have shown that eating avocado can improve heart disease risk factors like Total, LDL and HDL cholesterol, as well as blood triglycerides.
6. People Who Eat Avocados Tend to be Healthier

One study looked at the dietary habits and health of people who eat avocados.
They analyzed data from 17,567 participants in the NHANES survey in the U.S.
Woman Holding a Green Avocado
Avocado consumers were found to be much healthier than people who didn’t eat avocados.
They had a much higher nutrient intake and were half as likely to have metabolic syndrome, a cluster of symptoms that are a major risk factor for heart disease and diabetes.
People who ate avocados regularly also weighed less, had a lower BMI and significantly less belly fat. They also had more HDL (the “good”) cholesterol.
However… correlation does not imply causation and there is no guarantee that the avocados caused these people to be in better health.
Therefore I don’t think this particular study carries much weight.
Bottom Line: One dietary survey found that people who ate avocados had a much higher nutrient intake and had a lower risk of metabolic syndrome.
7. The Fat in Them Can Help You Absorb Nutrients From Plant Foods

Brunette Eating Salad With a Fork
When it comes to nutrients, the total amount of them is not the only thing that matters.
We also need to be able to absorb them… move them from the digestive tract and into the body, where they can be used.
Some nutrients are “fat soluble,” meaning that they need to be combined with fat in order to be utilized.
This includes vitamins A, D, E and K… along with antioxidants like carotenoids.
One study showed that adding avocado or avocado oil to either salad or salsa can increase antioxidant absorption by 2.6 to 15-fold.
So… not only is avocado highly nutritious, it can dramatically increase the nutrient value of other plant foods that you are eating.
This is an excellent reason to always include a healthy fat source when you eat veggies. Without it, a lot of the beneficial plant nutrients will go to waste.
Bottom Line: Studies have shown that eating avocado or avocado oil with veggies can dramatically increase the amount of antioxidants you take in.
8. Avocados Are Loaded With Powerful Antioxidants That Can Protect The Eyes

Eye on White Background
Not only do avocados increase antioxidant absorption from other foods, they are also high in antioxidants themselves.
This includes nutrients called Lutein and Zeaxanthin, which are incredibly important for eye health.
Studies show that these nutrients are linked to a drastically reduced risk of cataracts and macular degeneration, which are common in the elderly.
Therefore, eating avocados should have benefits for eye health over the long term.
Bottom Line: Avocados are high in antioxidants, including Lutein and Zeaxanthin. These nutrients are very important for eye health and lower the risk of macular degeneration and cataracts.
9. Avocado May Help Prevent Cancer

Three Unripe Avocados
There is limited evidence that avocado may be beneficial in preventing cancer.
One study showed that it may help reduce side effects of chemotherapy in human lymphocytes.
Avocado extract has also been shown to inhibit the growth of prostate cancer cells.
However, keep in mind that these studies were done in isolated cells and don’t really prove anything about what happens in a living, breathing human.
Bottom Line: Some studies in isolated cells have shown that nutrients in avocados may have benefits in preventing prostate cancer, and lowering side effects of chemotherapy in some cells.
10. Avocado Extract May Help Relieve Symptoms of Arthritis

Arthritis is a common problem in Western countries. There are many types of arthritis, and these are often chronic problems that people have for the rest of their lives.
Avocado on a Wooden Table
Multiple studies have shown that extracts from avocado and soybean oil, called Avocado and Soybean unsaponifiables, can reduce symptoms of arthritis of the bones, called osteoarthritis.
Whether avocados themselves can have this effect, and not just the extract, remains to be seen.
Bottom Line: Studies have shown that an extract from avocado and soybean oils can significantly reduce symptoms of osteoarthritis.
11. Eating Avocado May Help You Lose Weight

Woman Holding a Scale And Measuring Tape
There is some evidence that avocados are a weight loss friendly food.
In one study, people were split into groups. One group was instructed to eat a meal that contained avocado, the other a similar meal without avocado.
Then they were asked a series of questions related to hunger and satiety.
The people eating the avocado felt 23% more satisfied and had a 28% lower desire to eat over the next 5 hours.
If this holds true in the long-term, then including avocados in your diet could help you naturally eat fewer calories and have an easier time sticking to a healthy diet.
Avocados are also high in fiber, and very low in carbs, two attributes that should also help promote weight loss, at least in the context of a healthy, real food based diet.
12. Avocado is Delicious and Easy to Incorporate in The Diet

Homemade Guacamole
Not only are avocados healthy, they’re also incredibly delicious and go with all sorts of foods.
You can add them to salads and various sorts of recipes, or you can simply scoop them out with a spoon and eat them plain.
They have a creamy, rich, fatty texture and blend well with various other ingredients.
A notable mention is guacamole, which is arguably the most famous use of avocados. It includes avocado along with ingredients like salt, garlic, lime and a few others depending on the recipe.
An avocado often takes some time to ripen and it should feel slightly soft when ripe. The nutrients in avocado can oxidize soon after fleshing it, but if you add lemon juice then that shouldn’t happen as quickly.
If you’re serious about adding avocado to your diet, then I highly recommend that you watch this video about how to pick, prepare and eat avocados.
At the end of the day, avocados are an awesome food. They’re loaded with nutrients, many of which are lacking in the modern diet.
They are weight loss friendly, heart healthy and… last but not least, taste incredible.
What more could you ask for in a food?
