Drinking lemon water as soon as you wake up would make your body stronger

It is important for you to treat your body well and pay more attention to your health. Many people have problems with their health because they do not watch what they eat or take in.  It is essential to take in healthy foods and keep the body fit at the same time; remember, you are what you eat. Lemon is a fruit that is known all over the world for its juice which is being used for culinary purposes and as a cleaning agent. The juice contains about six percent of citric acid which is responsible for its sour taste. The unique sour taste of the lemon juice is loved by many people as they enjoy making lemonade and other foods with it. There are so many health benefits that could be gotten from drinking the liquid obtained from boiling lemon; it acts as a treatment for throat infections, dental issues, high blood pressure and could be used as a home remedy when one has constipation. Drinking the liquid obtained from boiled lemon early in the morning is a wonderful therapy.

JUST IN: Okagbare edges closer to Olympics medal

– Blessing Okagbare wins heat 5 in the women 200m race – She clocked 22.71s ahead of Great Britain’s Asher-Smith who ran 22.77s – Both women qualify for the semi-finals Nigeria’s sprint queen Blessing Okagbare has qualified to the semi-final of the women’s 200m event at the Rio Olympics. The 27-year-old won Heat 5 easily, clocking 22.71s ahead of Great Britain’s Asher-Smith who ran 22.77s. Both women automatically qualified for the semi-finals. Blessing Okagbare However, Okagbare still has a lot of work to do if she is to win any medal in this competition. This is because her 22.71s was one of the lowest qualifying time by a winner in all heats. Ivory coast sprinter Marie-Josee Ta Lou qualified with the fastest time after running a personal best to win Heat 4 in 22.32s, ahead of new Olympics 100m champion Elaine Thompson who ran 22.63s.

POTENTIAL CHELSEA LINEUP TO PLAY WESTHAM

Antonio Conte will be the last of the Premier League's new managers to start his campaign when Chelsea kick off their season opener on Monday night, and he's got more than a few little selection decisions to make. Here's what his starting XI might look like... Goalkeeper Courtois ​Come on now, it's Thibaut Courtois. TBO. Big TC. Tibby C. Holding Court.* He starts.  *It's possible that he doesn't go by many of those nicknames Defence Ivanovic Cahill Terry Azpilicueta Branislav Ivanovic's recovery from a shoulder injury has progressed quicker than expected, leaving him likely to start at right-back with young starlet Ola Aina waiting in the wings for his chance.  Kurt Zouma's continued absence means that the Terry-Cahill partnership should continue unbroken for now, while Cesar Azpilicueta completes a very familiar back-line. ​ Midfield Kanté Willian Cesc Matic Hazard The midfiel

POTENTIAL WESTHAM LINEUP TO PLAY CHELSEA

​West Ham open up their campaign on Monday night with a lot to prove after falling away at the end of last season, but Slaven Bilic's men have been handed a pretty tough start away to Chelsea.  This is the team who are likely to kick off the campaign.  Goalkeeper Adrián ​Barring a lightning strike or similar spot of bizarre misfortune, Adrian is the man. End of. Defence Antonio Reid Ogbonna Masuaku Michail Antonio looks set to be entrenched as the least right-back-y right-back in modern memory, leaving ​Winston Reid with possibly a little extra work to do on the right-hand side of the defence.  Angelo Ogbonna will likely be the man alongside Reid, while summer signing Arthur Masuaku likely to plug the gap left by Aaron Cresswell's pre-season injury.  Midfield Kouyaté Nordtveit Noble ​One of two absolute steals by the Hammers in the summer transfer window,  Håvard Nordtveit is likely to make his Premier League debut

Rio Olympics: Usain Bolts creates history with 100m win

Usain Bolt won the 100m at the Rio Olympics Bolt, 29, ran 9.81 seconds in his final Olympics to replicate his success at Beijing 2008 and London 2012.

Canada’s Andre de Grasse took bronze in a personal best of 9.91, ahead of Bolt’s Jamaican team-mate Yohan Blake who finished fourth.

If Nigeria truly wants to industrialise, it must be export-oriented

The first and certainly most important step in any policy formulation is problem definition. Policies are solutions to problems, but unless the problem is properly defined, the policy adopted to solve it may fail. So, to get the right policy outcomes, you need the right policy, but in order to have the right policy, you need, first and foremost, to define the underlying problem and policy objective accurately. Unfortunately, in Nigeria, there is so much inaccurate definition of problems. One problem that has so often been misdefined, but which calls for clarity of definition and objective, is the clamour for economic diversification. Virtually everyone now talks about the need to diversify the country’s economy. President Muhammadu Buhari said the diversification of the economy is urgent. His vice, Yemi Osinbajo, even said that Nigeria needs economic diversification and not political restructuring, to which some of us quickly riposted. Countless column inches have been devoted to di

Buhari’s plans inadequate to deal with Nigeria’s slump

Nigeria is technically in recession and data from the International Monetary Fund show the economy has contracted to $296 billion in GDP value , putting the country back to the position of Africa’s third largest economy behind South Africa and Egypt. However, signals from the President Muhammadu Buhari’s government seem to be showing conflicting and inadequate steps to take the economy away from recession anytime soon, analysts say. “We are estimating an increase in the YoY inflation rate to 17.4% in the month of July from 16.5% in June. If our estimate is accurate, this would be the highest rate  in 11 years ,” says Bismarck Rewane, chief executive of Financial Derivatives Company (FDC) in the current Bulletin released at the weekend. More worrisome is the fact that Nigeria’s per capita income has dropped from $2400 to $1300, as well as losing the position of top oil producer in Africa to Angola. Also from 7-8 percent GDP growth in 2013/2014, the country is in recession at negative -0

NO HINDRANCE   Memorise: Who are thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone therefore with shoutings, crying, Grace, unto it. Zechariah 4:7 Read: Zechariah 4:7-11, (KJV) 7  Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. 8  Moreover the word of the   Lord   came unto me, saying, 9  The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the   Lord   of hosts hath sent me unto you. 10  For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the   Lord , which run to and fro through the whole earth. 11  Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and

MORNING DEVOTION-OPEN HEAVENS

RELEVANT TO EACH OTHER – Sunday August 14th 2016  RELEVANT TO EACH OTHER Memorise: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. Romans 12:5 Read: 1st Corinthians 12:18-25, (KJV) 18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now are they many members, yet but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: 23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. 24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked. 25 That there should be no schism in the body;
