ankeade:



hello Amakaone
please concerning the smoothie stuff
don't mind me oooo
what is the meaning of the strawberries and the low fat milk
for the low fat milk, are you refering to any milk that has a low fat content in it.

thanks dear
cheers

@ankeade
I think strawberry and bananas are the perfect fruit pairing and what could be better than combining them in a healthy smoothie

As for the low fat milk it's just a personal preference.
You could use full cream milk (slightly heavier and a lot more fattening I think) , or half & half or 2% milk. Whatever your milk preference is.

My sister in law makes the same but puts protein powder and skim milk powder and water instead of the low fat milk to make it more of a protein smoothie.

That's the beauty of smoothies I think . Once you've decided on your basic flavours ( Strawberry & banana in this case)
You can pretty much play around with the rest to suit your needs and personal taste.

natural medicine practitioners have a simple solution to nose bleeding. Basil leaves commonly referred to as Efinrin can offer effective and long lasting solution.
To use basil (Efinrin) leaves, pluck some and clean them in clean water before squeezing the juice out of the leaves.
The juice can be applied to the bleeding nose with the head bent backward.
Also, the leaves from which the juice has been squeezed out can be pressed together to form a small lump and used tthe affected nose.
This simple first aid natural therapy for stopping bleeding nose has been tried/used by many people and they testified to its efficacy.

Bitter Leaf - Treats Malaria & High Blood Sugar and high cholesterol

Recent studies indicate that extract of bitter leaf helps to regulate blood sugar and choleresterol levels, thus ensuring healthy blood and heart. According to a recent study titled “Effects of Vernonia amygdalina and Chlorpropamide on blood glucose”, administration of the aqueous extract of bitter leaf at a concentration of 500 mg/kg of body weight significantly decreased the level of blood glucose. Its efficacy to lower blood glucose level was comparable with that of chlorpropamide, a standard drug used in the management of diabetes. The study was published in the Medical Journal of Islamic World Academy of Sciences and written by Dr. Abraham A. Osinubi from the Department of Anatomy, College of Medicine, University of Lagos, Idi-Araba, Lagos, Nigeria.


Results from a recent study titled ”Lipid-lowering effects of methanolic extract of Vernonia amygdalina leaves in rats fed on high cholesterol diet”, suggested the cholesterol-lowering effects of bitter leaf, describing it as a new potential natural product for the treatment of hyperlipidemia(high blood cholesterol level). The study was carried out by Oluwatosin A Adaramoye; Olajumoke Akintayo; Jonah Achem and Michael A Fafunso, all of the Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences, College of Medicine, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria. It was published in the 2008 on line edition of the journal, Vascular Health and Risk Management.

JeSoul:

I think that's a fantastic idea. I would buy it . Maybe the older Africans who've been cooking before they left home might not be too hot on it but I think the younger generation, eager to connect with their heritage will be your market.

I agree with you . I think the younger generation of Nigerians would buy a book like that.

Nothing too complicated or too heavy just a simple book like this I think

I am curious.

Not being a muslim myself, I am curious to know f Muslims in Nigeria have any special foods thath they eat during Ramadan?

and at Eid do you go back to the sameold soups or are there any special meals that you prepare?

Kai!

Only in Naija Sha!

And what will thi s degree be worth I f I have u do all my projects and asignments?
