Ten days after Nigerian leader Muhammadu Buhari left the country for England to seek medical attention for his deteriorating health, an information war appears to have broken out between those who want him dead and those striving to counter that narrative with their own propaganda. On the first hand are those using various clones of international news websites to spread rumors that the president is dead. One of those phony websites last weekend made a parody of CNN, but while CNN has a .com domain, the fake website appeared with a .tv web address.  On the other hand of the battle are those trying to counter the rumors by spreading an old picture of a considerably-healthier President Buhari and Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury. The picture was actually taken when Mr. Buhari visited...

1. Eat Berries With Breakfast Berries are an incredible food, rich in nutrients for our brain, our digestion, and  they’re disease-preventative.  They’re also a fresh source of produce and keep us fuller than processed cereals with dried fruits. Add 1/2 cup of your choice frozen or fresh berries to either a smoothie, oatmeal, or just have some with some unsweetened coconut yogurt and a little chia or flax seeds. Berries are also a great source of  vitamin C  to kickstart your immune system. 2. Eat One Green Food Per Day Eating one green vegetable per day or one leafy green is a great way to get yourself healthier in the kitchen without much thought. It can be a cup of broccoli at dinner or spinach snuck into a smoothie. A cup of green beans at dinner or some leafy kale tossed with chopped sweet potato and some simple seasonings. Anything counts, just make sure it’s green, natural, and from the earth. These foods provide us with  more nutrition than any fo...

Learn proper portion size.  To avoid eating too much of even the healthiest foods, keep track of how much you're eating. For most people, meat servings should be about the size of a deck of cards and other servings vary by the type of food. Vary your meals.  When the cafeteria has your favorite foods daily it can be easy to return to those old favorites every day. Changing up your diet from day to day is an important part of good nutrition so take advantage of the variety of selections available to you. Eat breakfast.  Start your day off right with a good meal when you get up. Whether you're rolling out of bed at noon or up at the crack of dawn for class, make sure you start your day with a balanced, healthy meal. Keep healthy snacks around.  It's easy to eat healthy if you keep the Cheetos at bay and stock your dorm room with fruits and other healthy snacks. You'll be more likely to reach for these than junk food if you keep them nearby or in your backpack. Dri...

Some of our favourite ingredients include toxins that can make us very sick indeed… By Veronique Greenwood 17 April 2017 We've all suffered from the occasional overindulgence, and most of us likely have a few dodgy oysters or shrimp canapes ruefully enshrined in our memory. But by and large, we eat pretty safely these days. While some thrill-seekers search for fugu – the Japanese pufferfish, which is laden with the nerve poison tetradotoxin – and risk becoming one of its surprisingly numerous victims, most of us prefer a diet that is a good deal more innocuous. For all that, you might be surprised to learn that some familiar foods are next-door neighbours to things which can be very harmful to our health. Rhubarb pies and jams are favourite seasonal delights. What's summer without a pan of tart red stems simmering on the stove, ready to be decanted into a waiting crust? The lush plants, with their spreading green leaves, are traditional adornments to the backyard ...

In a mental hospital a journalist asks the doctor: how do you determine whether to admit a mental patient or not to? Doctor:  Well, We fill a bathtub with water and then give the patient; 1) a teaspoon 2) a glass cup 3) a bucket, and ask them to empty the bathtub”. Journalist:  “oh obviously a normal person would use the bucket because its bigger”. Doctor : No, a normal person would pull the drain plug! Please go to bed Number 39. We will start further investigations on you”. You also thought of the bucket, didnt you? Please go to bed No. 40. LOL!!!

Many people wonder whether they should eat before a workout or exercise on an empty stomach. In a  new study , researchers sought to answer that question by examining gene expression in adipose (fat) tissue. The study, published in  American Journal of Physiology—Endocrinology and Metabolism , involved 10 overweight men, all of whom were assigned to walk for 60 minutes on an empty stomach. On a later date, they walked again, but had a high-calorie, high-carb breakfast two hours prior. Blood samples were taken at regular intervals and adipose tissue was collected directly before walking and one hour after. Upon examination, the researchers found vast differences in the adipose tissue samples from both trials. Ultimately, the authors noted fasting before a workout may be the better option. After eating, the fatty tissue “is busy responding to the meal and a bout of exercise at this time will not stimulate the same [beneficial] changes in adipose tissue,” study...

Need another reason to eat your fruits and veggies? New research has found that these powerful foods don’t just help your waistline, they could also lower blood pressure. The  study  found that eating potassium-rich foods, like sweet potatoes, avocados, spinach, beans, and bananas — in addition to decreasing salt intake — could help lower blood pressure. The study, now published online in the  American Journal of Physiology – Endocrinology and Metabolism,  found that eating potassium-rich foods, such as a number of fruits and vegetables, may be key to lowering high blood pressure. This result persisted, no matter how much salt patients consumed. For the research, the team looked at several studies that analyzed subjects’ potassium intake, as measured by the amount found in their urine or from their recollection of what they ate. The researchers then looked at how potassium intake affected other factors, such as blood pressure, ...
