WHAT EXPERTS ARE SAYING ON OUR DIET IN 2019.
Experts from Havard university and London school of Tropical medicine in a bid to have a healthier population and environment issued the following diet recommendations.
500g of fruit and vegetables/day.
230g of cereals
28g of fish
Eat beef once per month of 14g.
This is a public health recommendation thus individual variations on quantities apply.
The point is..we should limit intake of red meat and replace it with legumes, Eat more vegetables & fruits more than cereals.
My perspective is that civilization has led to consumption of "alleged food" (ice cream, cakes, sugar,carbonated drinks a.k.a soft drinks ,excessive alcohol etc) and we are forgeting that our bodies need vitamines and minerals from real food to function well.We are ready to pay money for weight loss program but we dont want to change our eating habits and inactive lifestyle.

Happy life starts with good thoughts.

PEANUTS & HEALTH
Are nutritious nuts high in protein,contains oleic acid good for your heart,has anti-cancer effect, rich in B vitamins good for your brain and memory.
However,peanuts are highly susceptible to fungi Aspergillus which produces aflatoxin.Aflatoxin is poisonous chemical which causes cancer of the liver and stomach.Additionally aflatoxin slows growth in children leading to stunting.Furthermore, aflatoxin reduces ones immunity making one susceptible to infection.
WHAT TO DO
Dont swallow any grondnut with visible signs of rottin as in picture shown or tastes bitter/rotten.
Unfortunately for peanut paste in shops,its not possible for consumers to know, hope processing company removes all infected nuts before milling.

Happy life starts with correct pieces of truth.

TRUTH ABOUT TAMARIND JUICE
Has high level of tartaric acid which gives it sour taste.Tartaric acid is an antioxidant, which is a health benefit.However, take it with caution coz acid can damage your teeth just like lemon.
Secondly, it has minerals, common in fruits.
In conclusion, it will not cure your diabetes, BP, heart dizz,diarrheoa as claimed but is a "healthy food choice" healthier than "carbonated sugar water" we call drinks.

Happy life....
Starts with healthy food choice.

HEALTH ALERT
While we are promoting fish consumption for its health benefits,consumers of fish from L uangwa should worry for their health instead.
I learned the bad news with sadness that all fish samples from Luangwa was this year JUNE, 2018 found with ORGANOPHOSPHATES.
Luangwa District Commissioner Ngoni Moyo shared the analysis report by ZABS with luangwa fishermen who confirmed the use a named pesticide to preserve fish.They further added that it is a common practice among fishermen including fishermen from a named neiboring country.
Organophosphate is toxic chemical known to damage nervous system if taken in large quantities, aside other effects like diarrhoea, nausea, body rash, and general body weakness.Worse still, organophosphate is carcinogenic.

Happy life...
Knowledge is power.

SLEEP PROBLEMS?
Not having enough sleep(insomnia) can be annoying and makes you irritable, loose focus during day,develop memory problems and likely to have accidents.Lack of sleep predisposes one to weight gain and obesity.
WHAT'S CAUSE OF INSOMNIA?
1.Late dinner of carbs and protein, 2.stress and 3.bright lighting in bedroom including cellphone light.
Lack of sleep increases secretion of appetite hormone ghrelin, making you to eat more consequently gain weight.
4. Gender: Women are more prone than men due to hormonal changes during menstrual cycle, pregnancy and menopause.
5. Working in rotating shifts sends sleep clock off balance.
WHAT'S SOLUTION
1.Eat light early meals for dinner.2.Exercise during the day, exercise reduces all forms of stress.
3.Avoid day time naps.
4.Avoid high caffein drinks.
5.Avoid use of cellphone or laptop in bed, the light will affect your sleep.Your room should have good ventilation and right temperature.
GOOD SLEEP REDUCES SECRETION OF APPETITE HORMONE AND INCREASES SECRETION OF LEPTIN, A SATIETY HORMONE(you feel full and eat less).
An adult is supposed to get 7 hours of sleep every day.

HAPPY LIFE...

"MAN B***S"
It is a common sight in zed but what's the cause?
Let's get to science.The hormone Estrogen is the cause.It is mistakenly thought by many that estrogen is women-centric, the truth is,both man and woman have estrogen,necessary to support life.The problem comes when there is an imbalance of this hormone such that you have too much of it than required in your system.
The unwanted effects of having too much of estrogen include;
1.FOR MEN:"Man boobs",importence, and infertility.
2.FOR WOMEN: Irregular menstruation.
3.FOR BOTH: Anxiety, Moody,difficult sleep and weight gain (fat).
WHAT CAUSES ESTROGEN IMBALANCE.
1.Poor diet and foods high in estrogen such as soya and milk.
2.Inactivity.
3.Chemicals in our food chain which disrupt our normal hormonal functions, I.e Bisphenal A in plastics disrupts insulin function, it's even carcinogenic.
Knowledge is power, eat wisely.
HAPPY LIFE starts with good thinking and Nutrition.

ABOUT BLUE BAND VIDEO
Natural fats are in three categories,
Fat, oil and waxes.Fat is a solid at room temperature and is from animals.Oils are liquids at room temperature and are plant based together with waxes though they are solids.
The food industry alter chemical structure of oils to change its physical property and come up with a product of choice such as shortenings, lard and margerines.
The processs include hydrogenation,interesterification,isomerization.
The result is change in physical properties of oil, one of them is melting point. The change is brought about by any of the following.
1.change in configuration of structure from alpha, to beta and beta'.
2.Double bonds converted to single bonds or saturation.
3.A short chain converted into a long chain.
4.Cis configuration changed to trans (location of hydrogen atoms in structure changed).
All these result in increase in melting point of a fat and can range from 100-300 degrees celcius.The melting range is called 'plastic range' and it differs among products.
Additionally, emulsifiers are used to enable oil mix with water to come up with a fat of desired consistency (common knowledge oil and water don't mix).Emulsifiers also have an effect on increasing melting point of oil.
This is how we have butter, lard margerines with wide range of uses such as baking and confectioneries.
Therefore, it's very normal for blue band not to melt in water, that is how the product was manufactured, to withstand high temperatures.
From health point of view, vegetable oils modified into solid/fats are not good for you.Do a self check, How much are you consuming these fats in form of baked foods or spread.

Happy life starts with healthy thinking,body, mind.
