Health / Fuel Your Day With Kunu Drink by Suntwist: 1:03pm On Nov 16, 2021
FUEL YOUR DAY WITH KUNU DRINK
Kunu is also known as Kunu Zaki is a popular drink in the Northern part of Nigeria and prepared mostly by the Hausa. Kunu is made from whole grain millet and sometimes corn or sorghum, the variety of the Kunu drink made from sorghum is usually light-brown in color, while the ones made from millet and maize are usually white. There are different varieties of kunu, such as; Kunu zaki (millet), kunun gayamba, Amshau, kunu Aya (Tigernut milk), kunu gyada, kunun akamu, kunun tsamiya, kunun jiko, kunun baule.

The main Ingredient used in preparing Kunu Zaki is millet, millet is very nutritious and has a lot of benefits to human health thus making Kunu drink a healthy dietary drink. Kunu drink has a spicy, nutty flavor and it’s packed with nourishing vitamins and minerals. It is high in fiber and contains high-quality protein content. It contains natural vitamins (A, B, C, D, E) and minerals (Magnesium, Iron, Calcium, Potassium), it’s a rich source of antioxidants and prevents possible heart diseases, etc.

Kunu is made by first allowing the grain seeds to germinate, then soaking in water for a few days and blending the soaked grain with ginger and sweet potatoes to form a smooth paste. Preparation of this drink takes a minimum of 2-3 days because the millet is left to soak in water for the first two days to trigger the process of fermentation.

Kunu Zaki has more polyunsaturated fats (Omega 3 and 6), the calories in Kunu depend on the ingredients used in preparing it. The drink is highly recommended for vegetarians and can be taken with snacks, bread, and any meal of your choice.

Kunu Drink is filled with a lot of health benefits and they are;

Kunu helps to boost sperm count, which is a common sexual problem in men. It helps boost sperm count because it contains a great amount of vitamin C and an antioxidant which improves blood flow in the body as well as the penile area.
The ginger content in the Kunu helps to lower the cholesterol level and prevents the formation of blood clots.
It helps increase the flow of breast milk in nursing mothers.
It is known to reduce the risk associated with diabetes.
The key ingredient, millet contains a poly nutrient called lignin. Which has cancer-fighting properties and is beneficial in the treatment of heart diseases.
Recipe for Kunu Zaki
Millet
Ginger
Konofiri (cloves)
Sweet potato
Sugar


Steps involved;

The seeds should be soaked in water for 48 hours to allow the seeds to ferment. The water should be changed every seven (7) hours.
Wash the seeds thoroughly with clean water after soaking them for two days. Place the millet, ginger, cloves, and sweet potatoes in a blender and blend till you get a smooth paste. Don’t forget to add water while blending.
The blended paste should be poured into a bowl. Then pour cold water into it so as to make it easier to sieve.
The sieved liquid should be left to settle for at least 7 hours, by then the clear liquid would be seen above the thick paste. Sieve out the clear liquid leaving the thick paste.
The thick paste should be divided into two portions. To the first portion add hot water and stir (like the way you prepare pap). Then pour the second portion into the first portion and stir very well. At this stage, you could add the quantity of water you want depending on how thick you want your Kunu to be.
Add sugar to make it taste sweet and refrigerate.
It tastes delicious right?

Serve your Kunu drink with any meal of your choice and get energized

HOW TO KEEP YOUR TEETH AND MOUTH HEALTH

HOW TO MAINTAIN ORAL HEALTH
Healthy teeth and mouth are very important. Do you remember this song…

‘This is the way I brush my teeth, brush my teeth, brush my teeth, this is the way I brush my teeth early in the morning’.

How do you brush your teeth? Do you use fluoride toothpaste? What is the condition of your toothbrush? These are questions we would leave you to answer.

When you wake up in the morning one of the things you do is to brush your teeth and the last thing you do at night but not everyone brushes their teeth at night and this is not good at all.

What is the mouth?
The mouth is also called the oral cavity through which food and air enter the body. It is made up of the teeth, tongue, gums, salivary glands, upper and lower jaw, etc.

In this article, we would focus on how to keep your teeth and mouth healthy. You have to keep your mouth clean to avoid tooth decay and mouth odor.

To keep your mouth and teeth healthy you need to brush your teeth twice daily making use of fluoride toothpaste. Tooth brushing prevents plaque from building up on your teeth.

What is plaque?
Plaque is a film of bacteria that coats your teeth If you don’t brush them properly and it contributes to tooth decay and gum diseases.

When brushing your teeth you should open your mouth and brush all the surfaces of your teeth (inside surfaces, outside surfaces, and the chewing surface of your teeth).

NOTE; Don’t rinse your mouth with water after brushing, this is a mistake most of us make. After brushing, spit out any excess toothpaste. Rinsing your mouth after brushing could wash away the concentrated fluoride in the remaining toothpaste and reduce its preventative effect.

In one of the articles, we talked about a smile, to give a beautiful smile our mouth and teeth must be clean to make the smile an attractive one. Imagine smiling at someone and the person giving an irritating look because of the condition of your teeth, will you be happy?

Here are some mistakes you need to avoid while brushing your mouth;

Here are some mistakes you need to avoid while brushing your mouth;
Brushing your teeth more than twice a day could actually damage the gum and erode the enamel on your teeth.
Not cleaning your tongue; You clean your tongue to avoid bad breath and remove bacteria.
Rinsing your mouth with water after brushing your teeth.
Make use of your toothbrush for a long period of time; Your toothbrush should be used only for three months.
Not brushing your teeth long enough; The time duration of r brushing your teeth should be at least 2 minutes, anything less than 2 minutes is not good enough cause it doesn’t give the fluoride in your toothpaste enough time to attach to the enamel of your tooth.
Always keep your mouth healthy by brushing twice a day and smiling.
