FUN WAYS TO EAT BANANAS

By
Bananas are really nice fruits (I love them), sweet and quite filling. They make a great snack especially if you're watching your weight and have some amazing health benefits. Bananas contain a variety of vitamins and minerals including vitamin B6, protein, dietary fibre, vitamin C and others. They can help in reducing blood pressure, weight loss, maintaining a healthy heart and some other amazing stuff. Even the peels are useful add rubbing the inside of a banana peel on a mosquito bite can help stop the itching, and I don't need to say anything on how invaluable that is in a country like Nigeria where humans are basically a living feast for mosquitoes. So you should definitely include bananas in your daily meal plan, and if you get bored of the usual plain banana snack (eaten alone or in a fruit salad) or smoothie, here are some cool recipes you could try. N/B: To keep your bananas from getting ripe to soon, wrap the head of the bunch with a plastic wrap. BANANA "IC...

FOOD ADDICTIONS (FOODICTIONS😉)

By
I'm pretty sure everyone has that one food/snack/drink that they're addicted to, whether it's healthy or not. Mine is groundnuts/peanuts, yeah I'm weird like that. I like it boiled, roasted, fried (turned into "peanuts"); as long as it's groundnut I'm all for it. I was born with a hatred for soft/non-crunchy foods, and when I say I was born I mean from birth, so I hate basically all pastries (bread is the worst, hate that stuff with a passion, hate even the smell and don't even dare to touch it).

I'm so addicted to eating groundnuts that when my sister suggested I reduce my intake cos o...

DIGESTION PHASES

By
So about 2 months ago I visited my godmother who's a nutritionist, and in her usual way she started talking about my weight 😒. Anyway, while talking about weight loss she mentioned a method she uses with her clients to help them loose weight and keep off the lost weight. It's not a diet exactly, it's based on what she called the "Phases of Digestion" I think, can't exactly remember. So basically there are three phases of digestion, and the body digests food differently in each phase. Elimination Phase (4am-12pm): this takes place between 4am nd 12pm. During this period the body is basically eliminating waste in preparation for the next phase. In order to help this process one should eat fruits, foods high in fibre, whole foods... basically anything that aids waste elimination. So breakfast shouldn't be really heavy foods like rice and stuff because the body isn't ready for the heavy stuff yet. Optimization Phase (12pm-6:30/7pm):  at this point th...
