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...

Comportment and Etiquette

I am a member of "The Let's Talk About Series" community. I'll be sharing notes from Tobi Afolabi (TASpeaks) on Comportment and Etiquette, a lesson delivered this year, in the month of February. Let's Talk About Series is a personal and career development discussion platform that discuss diverse topics to help boost people's productivity and build personal confidence. They are passionate about self discovery, and believe the strife for personal development helps in adding value to one's life; creating opportunities and setting priorities for the areas that make them most effective. You can check out the community on Facebook. ----- Tobi Afolabi: If I were to ask what we love most about Pastor E. A. Adeboye, I am likely to get comments such as he is humble, generous, polite, well dressed, cultured... If I ask same for Buhari, Dangote, Steve Harris, Jimi Tewe and many more, I am equally likely to get a similar feedback. Doesn't it amaze you that we...

Kids and Maturity:

By -
Image
Don't consider age when instilling discipline in your kids, rather consider their maturity. Some kids are smarter than normal for their age and should be corrected early enough if not you may be tempted to think they are still children not knowing they are learning fast and developing character. Try and discern difference among your kids. If a method worked for one doesn't mean it must work for the other. Identify the ones that need more attention and give such more attention so that they can catch up with the others and gain independence. I dislike it when I see Godly parents having ungodly kids. Your children are a reflection of your level of spiritual responsibility. Teach them how to comport themselves in church, don't always have that attitude that they are kids, and leave them. No! Teach them early enough to reverence the presence of God. My mum never believed any kid was smarter than me. That helped my self esteem and confidence which was evident in my academic...

You have to be the Complement of Whom You Desire

By -
Image
You may come across a good person, a sincere lover, who's interested in you, but you're not ready at that moment, and end up losing him to someone else who's ready.. You're not ready because of the negative configuration that your past relationship(s) has created for your mind and it really shows in your attitude (I personally always detect it no matter how much you try to hide it). You have to take responsibility for the outcomes of your past relationships. And by this, you take POSITIVE actions not to be a victim of such again. Look into yourself critically, you'll see the wrong choices you made that led to the failed relationship(s). Learn from it, and make a wiser choice when someone comes seeking your attention. Understand what you NEED (pay less attention to your wants) and be the person that will complement the person you need by developing yourself and working on your limitations gradually. If you'll say that it's difficult to know who's true, I...

Calling a spade by its name!

By -
Image
"Lady kills her ex for leaving her for another lady",.. "Man pours acid on his ex for daring to leave him after seeing her through the University",.. Everyday we come across such disheartening headlines on the dailies and on the internet. As we all agree, a relationship must not end in marriage. Anything can happen and each party should be prepared to go their separate ways. Nobody wants to feel forced into marriage, do you? Certainly No. Nobody wants to be guilt trapped, have their lives threatened or have to look behind their backs when they walk through a lonely street just because they ended a relationship they just couldn't continue with, nobody! It's a terrible place to find yourself. So, a girl sends assassins after her ex, a day before his wedding, kidnaps him and days later, his corpse is found. She should be sentenced to death by hanging, electrocution, or firing squad; everyone calls for her head. It isn't really the guys fault,...

Quotes for this Week

Today, I share some quotes from a friend, EndieUmunna. Let's be inspired by these words. • In as much as you want results, you have to love the process. Better results are yielded when you find true happiness in the process • It is better to have just 1 winner friend than to have 500 loser friends. That poison you call friendship, give it a break! • Stop wasting your time waiting for the defining moments. Define your life and then raise the rest of your life to meet you • Hardwork garnished with assorted patience is the only shortcut to success. Any other route is not sustainable!

You can come along and change Everything

By -
Image
“Every once in a while a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything” –Steve Jobs. True words. For me, I believe a person can come along and change everything. Don't wonder who that might be. That person is YOU. Find you, discover your happy place. Give vent to your uniqueness. Don't try to be like another person. Be you. What's your story? Be bold, own and share it. Businesses have been built on them. You don't know how to go about it? Ask. Don't be quiet and remain in one place year in year out. Move. You are shy, feel vulnerable? It's natural. Wear your scars. Clean your tears. You were born for a time like this, to add value to the world. Shine. Say with me, "I will shine for all to see". By: Peter Ochuko Kajovo

Sadness and Your Health

By -
Image
It seems I have been interested in emotional themes for sometime now; anyway, it's cool understanding some stuffs about emotions. We checked out Happiness last time and learnt a lot of interesting stuffs about happiness. We'll be checking up on Sadness this time. Sadness differs from depression. While it's normal that one feels sad sometimes, it's not normal when it gets to depression. Anyway, we'll talk about depression sometime later. Photo Credit: emojiisland.com When one is sad, especially intense sadness, it compromises the immune system, makes such person prone to inflammatory diseases. It causes the body to increase the production of stress hormones (cortisol and adrenaline). This increases one's risk for high blood pressure and high blood sugar. It also affects one's appetite, eating habits (sadness increases stress on the brain, causing the brain to need more energy than usual, and results to one taking so much sugary foods and junk foods) ...
