Keeping a healthy Heart (Part 2)

By -
Keeping one's heart healthy involves one ensuring that the heart and the blood vessels that supplies blood and oxygen to (/away) from one's heart are properly taken care of, and continue to function adequately. I'll talk about healthy eating in this part.



• When you buy food and snacks, always check out the ingredients and be sure about what you're consuming and how much you're consuming

• Cook and eat good and real foods, avoid junks

• Avoid skipping breakfast, it's very necessary

• Take fruits and vegetables

• Eating more fiber is good for a healthy heart (rich fiber sources include nuts, whole grain cereals, fruits and vegetables)

• Consume less sugar and salt (less salt is positive for a good blood pressure)

• Take less saturated fats (which can be found in meat) and trans fats (which can be found in some processed foods). Foods that are high in unsaturated fats and whole grains are more healthy.

• An omega-3 fatty acid rich diet is good for positive heart health. Fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines, tuna, etcetera) is a good source of this. Also, walnut is another good source.

• Nuts like walnuts, almonds, peanuts are good fiber sources and are good for healthy heart.

• Eat moderately, don't over eat.

Eggshells (Episode 2)

By -
Image
Stanley could not believe that he was delayed at the banking hall for close to an hour before he was asked to enter the office of the Customer Service Manager. Jessica who had waited behind in her car kept on sending him text messages asking him if he was done yet. He pitied her. The poor woman left her own business to attend to his own troubles. He, for once in his life, thought she would make a good wife. However, he didn't love her. Or maybe he did, but he had not realized yet. "You can go in now Sir", came the voice of one of the cashiers at the counter. "Thank you for taking my sweet time". Stanley grinned and walked straight to the door he had been directed to. He was too preoccupied with his fury to knock at the door. He got in and slammed the door behind him. The woman seated at the desk in the cozy and fully air-conditioned office looked smart in her black and white suit. She had a pair of glasses on and she gave off an impression of control and co...

You may be consuming high amounts of sugar and it's unhealthy for you

By -
Image
A lot of us must have heard that much sugar is not healthy, but a good number of persons still consume a large amount of it. Sugar is a carbohydrate and we have simple sugars (glucose, fructose, galactose) and more complex forms of it (sucrose, lactose, maltose). The sugar we consume is mostly in the form of sucrose, a disaccharide made up of glucose and fructose. When we consume sugar, it is metabolized to give us energy, but when high amounts of it is consumed, the body converts to body fats and store them. Sugar (sucrose) contains about 50% fructose, and fructose, which is actually the sweet part of sugar, responsible for the sweetness we taste when we take sugar is not good for us. Fructose is metabolized only by the liver which means there's a lot of work for one's liver to do. It is toxic to the liver especially in those who consume large amount of sugar (the human body is not meant to consume so much fructose). Also, sugar is ADDICTIVE due to fructose. Fructose suppress...

We All have a Single Lifetime to Spend

By -

Your fears will want you to live it less; Your critics will want you to stop trying as they are committed to hunting every of your trial and blowing up any fault they find; Your backgrounds may want your back to remain on the ground; Your current bank balance may want to deter you; Your hurts may try to hold you back; Just remember you have a SINGLE LIFETIME TO SPEND. Live it to the best of your abilities. Beat the odds and fail while trying, it is a prove that you are making progress. There may be a thousands reasons why you shouldn't try, but when you find that one reason you should, RUN with it. A reminder from God's Word - Philippians chapter Four – 13 – I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose—I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.] This is a call to a fulfilled life,...

You Can attract the Grace and make it happen

By -

In my routine muse, out of the loud silence of my mind came deep words which I consider both factual and true... Nothing happens on it's own, we live in a realm of cause and effect; sowing and reaping; give and take; garbage in, garbage out... Life can, to a good extent be predictable; nothing is new, just some kind of cycle... Principles guide life, break them and dance to whichever tune life plays for you. Grace, yes Grace, does not groom lazy men who sit with bowls waiting for manna rain. Grace empowers you to labour, opens new thought lines in your head, makes you smart, diligent and the boss in your game. Ask successful people, when they say it's grace, hehehehehe, ask them very well, the sacrifice was huge, the labour was much, but, with grace, it was a pleasant pain, a restful toil, trust me... God doesn't raise robots. An average human is sooo loaded, ever wondered why the seemingly "non-religious" ones excel too? The law of sowing and reaping is th...

Eggshells (Episode 7)

Jessica got up from her daughter's bed as she heard a knock on her door. She wondered who would want to see her that early on a Sunday morning. She walked to the sitting room and took the keys from where it was hung on the wall and unlocked the door. The man who stood outside was a man she knew so well; a man who had been in her past, Tunde Balogun himself. He was dressed in a white Ankara fabric as his car keys were in his left hand. He was holding a nylon bag which looked like a gift pack he had got from a children's store in the other hand. Jessica gave him a straight face. "How can I help you? It's too early to come to my house." "I didn't come to see you. I came to see my daughter. Is she in? Can I go in?", he said and tried entering. Jessica blocked him. " Are you out of your mind? Who is your daughter? No one is in here so leave now." Tunde laughed. "You don't have to be so defensive, Jessica. You and I know our daugh...

Relationship Series (Part 1)

By -
Image
Our present society is a mixture of different persons of different family values. That's one of the major reasons why people have different understanding of an issue or situation. One from a family with high personal and moral values may not agree with the other who has his or her own values, and who feels they are justified and right. You see situations where people can't relate because of their parallel opinions and beliefs which are antagonist to each other. You see situations where people "mind their business" because they feel that the actions and activities of other persons, has no significant effect on them. One thing I've learnt about life is that everyone, has an effect, positive or negative, on the entire system. It's like a chain reaction. And the only way to ensure there's a general positive effect is by everyone who knows what's right, do what's right and help promote such positive vibes in the little way they can. I can be of help to...

Towards Mental Exploits by David .O. Oyedepo

By -

I read this book about four years ago, and it was a big turning point for me. Much was learnt, I'll share few of them today. You should check it out. The lessons: Death begins when one stops learning, and ageing starts from one's mind, not one's body. One remains young as far as he or she keeps learning; One starts crashing once he or she stops pushing. One's ability to excel mentally is paralyzed once one stops trying and accepts that the results obtained is the best he or she can attain; One's life becomes a burden when one's life is void of progress. And when one's brain isn't working towards anything, it becomes a weight on the body. The brain is motivated when it sees something ahead, something to work towards for; One's success does not demand prayer and fasting, as much as engaging one's senses positively. Have you read the book? What can you say about it? Let's share Photo credit: www.zutasia.com

The Brain! The engine of life and thoughts! We all know that life would never exist without the brain. Even with the heart that pumps and distributes life's fuel (the blood), the brain is still needed to regulate voluntary and involuntary processes and actions, which includes memory and learning, movement, blood pressure and body temperature and overall health. The brain has cells, the neurons. These brain cells needs adequate care, because their progressive destruction will result to certain mental health diseases which are bad for health. One may be involved in habits and activities which promotes the destruction of these brain cells. That's what we are going to check out today.
