Health / Fresh Health Benefits Of Guava And Guava Leaves You Should Know by dtito(m): 8:58am On Jun 27, 2021 |
Guava is very common in Asian countries, but it is increasingly available in the western world, especially as its health benefits are revealed. The fruit is round or pear- shaped with light green, yellow or brown skin and white or brown flesh that contains many small, hard edible seeds. It is sweet when ripe with a sweet, musky aroma and a creamy texture. Besides its distinctive flavor and fragrance, guava is actually a super fruit due to its many health- promoting qualities. Besides the fruits, the bark and leaves of guava trees also offer many health benefits.
What makes guava special is that the protection of the fruit does not require the excessive use of chemical pesticides as in the case of grapes, apples and other so- called " exotic" fruits. It is one of the least chemically treated and pulverized fruits. Here are some of the surprising and brilliant health benefits of guava.
1. Controls diabetes Chinese medicine has used guava for the treatment of diabetes for years. The high fiber content and low glycemic index of guava is extremely beneficial for people with diabetes. While fiber helps regulate sugar levels, the low glycemic index prevents sudden surges in sugar levels. Eating 1 to 2 guavas without the skin can be helpful in maintaining your blood sugar levels.
2. Improves your immunity Due to its high vitamin C content, guava plays an important role in improving your immunity. Plus, guava' s anti- inflammatory action and ability to inhibit inflammatory molecules like prostaglandins help keep you disease- free. Eat 1 guava per day to develop resistance to common illnesses like coughs, colds and flu. You can also enjoy guava in smoothies or salads, or drink a cup of guava leaf tea every day.
3. Improves heart health According to a old discoveries, regular consumption of guava fruit can help lower blood pressure and blood lipids. This is due to its higher content of potassium, vitamin C and soluble fiber. Potassium helps maintain a regular heartbeat and control high blood pressure, while vitamin C keeps small blood vessels healthy. Plus, the lycopene found in pink- fleshed guava helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in people who regularly consume this fruit.
4. Helps lose weight Guava is very useful for those who want to lose weight. Guava, especially raw guava, contains much less sugar than apples, oranges, grapes, and other fruits. Add a medium- sized guava to your lunch and you won' t be hungry until evening. This is probably due to its richness in nutrients, which keeps the metabolism regulated and helps promote good absorption of nutrients.
5. Improves eyesight Guavas are a great source of vitamin A, which is well known as a visual health booster. It can help slow the onset of cataracts, macular degeneration, and general eye health. It can not only prevent the deterioration of eyesight, but even an improvement in eyesight once it starts to deteriorate.
6. Improves oral health The anti- plaque properties of guava leaves are effective in preventing and treating oral problems.
Herbalists recommend the use of tender guava leaves (in paste form) to maintain oral hygiene. The leaves have anti- inflammatory, analgesic, and antimicrobial properties that help reduce inflammation of the gums and leave your breath fresh and clean.
7. Reduces the risk of cancer The anti- cancer or anti- tumor properties of guava come from compounds like lycopene, quercetin, vitamin C and various polyphenols present in it. These compounds act as powerful antioxidants which help neutralize damage caused by free radicals in the body which can lead to cancer. Researchers concluded that guava extract may help shrink prostate tumors. In fact, regular consumption of guava extract can help reduce the incidence of prostate cancer in men. Regular consumption of guava can also help prevent other types of cancer, including cancer of the breast, mouth, skin, stomach, colon, and lung.

Celebrities / Best Centre-back Combo? Piquenbauer Beer Spotted In The Supermarket by dtito(m): 9:57pm On Jun 26, 2019 |
Gerard Pique is no stranger to winning honours and awards thanks to his glittering career with Barcelona and Spain, but his decoration has a unique flavour—he had a beer named after him.
The Barcelona Beer Company has created a new beverage in his honour, dubbed "Piquenbauer," an amalgamation of Pique and Germany legend Franz Beckenbauer, to reflect the combination of German and Catalan ingredients.
Oriol Cenart, who helped create the beer, said: "We recognise him, we are fans of Pique, and this is how we pay tribute. It's a ginger wheat beer made with the best malts and wheat from Germany and the best water from Catalunya."

Webmasters / Re: 3 Major Ways, One Fundamental Tip For Blog's Traffic by dtito(m): 1:54pm On May 26, 2016 |
toheebDOTcom: Every blogger needs traffic! As sound and technically correct the tips below are, they won't give you the traffic you need overnight In fact, it is just only one tip that ensures a better platform for others. Well, with consistency, we will surely get there. Before i list the tips, here are 3 major ways to generate traffic to a blog.
1. Word of mouth. Yes, it is that simple! O'boy, i don get blog oo, check am for your phone na.
2. Drop a signature. When your mouth is not available to talk, let your hand do that for you. It is not a crime to write your blog url address beneath each of your posts on forums, is it Or use a moniker that easily tell the world about your your brand. For example, toheebDOTcom is my moniker, and i am very sure after the first six letters of my moniker you know it is a url address.
3. Let what you do, or write about, brings the traffic for you. You've probably heard of the statement- "Content is King". And yes, that's right! But who told you the King is the most powerful piece Ask the Chess Master, and that white bearded man will tell you it is the QUEEN! Markup is the Queen when it comes to Web Design, Search Engine Optimization and Traffic!
So what is the first and only advice i will give?
1. Choose a better theme! or simply code your blog the right way. Chikena Why It is the language of the web for crying out loud dude!
It is something for you to know the language called English; it is another thing for you to make meaningful statements that human ears can understand easily. When it comes to the web, html is the language and semantics is what makes common sense out of html to web agents and Assistive Technologies.
How do you do that![](/faces/huh.png) - Don't use a theme, or code a theme, that doesn't have a Document Type . You know that little text at the top of every webpage that says <!DOCTYPE html> or something of such That's what search agents uses to interpret your page. It tells them, hey bot! this is an html5 webpage so don't treat the header tag like an ordinary non-semantic div. The Bot will say again -"It is not a MathML page, So i repeat myself, Don't treat it as such!"
- Use the h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, and h6 tags correctly. These tags are not meant to make your text bold and big only, they define your document structure. Use h1 for the main topic, use h2 for sub topic, use h3 for Sub sub topic; Just like how we have section 1, 1.1, 1.1.1 and stuffs like that.
- Don't use css background-image instead of html img tag. They produce the same visual result but different meanings just like html b and strong tag.
Above, is a tip of the iceberg. When you get the above right! then these [url="https://www.nairaland.com/3100842/open-letter-bloggers-struggling-get"]tips here[/url] will make more sense.
Source: [url="http://www.toheeb.com"]ToheebDOTcom[/url] Traffic is known to be the most important thing on the internet, knowing how fat your income will increase ,when you can direct a tangible amount of traffic to what ever is it you have to offer on the internet..Right now i'm saying you can get a number of steady , day to day traffic to your webpage from NOBLE DEE'S BLOG. 800 page views plus a bonus of an online business idea that will be your extra source of income You want to increase your traffic, there by increase your chances of earning more daily?

Culture / Re: Interesting Facts About The Igbo People by dtito(m): 8:59am On Jan 06, 2015 |
pl Chiwude: I was going through the archives of the evergreen Nigeria Village Square and I saw an interesting post that tried as much as possible to clear some false misconception about the Igbos. Tighten your seat belt and read through.
Source: Denker
In this piece, I intend to focus on the Igbo as a people. The Igbo, their culture, civilization, and their contributions to world greatness, are, perhaps, among the most little understood, taught, publicized and recognized of all human knowledge. What is sometimes upsetting is the little the Igbo themselves, including their educated sons and daughters know about themselves. Or, more bafflingly, how the educated Igbo parrot, and hold fast, without taking a second look at the false information about the Igbo, which they heard or read from scantily informed or biased sources, foreigners and natives, and, of course, the ever busy Igbo detractors.
I decided to write this article after the now familiar surprise look I get from many an educated Igbo when I begin to discuss Igbo factoids and misrepresentations. What embarrasses most of them is that certain incontrovertible, and some would say, elementary facts about the Igbo, which were always self evident, now suddenly hits them like a thunderbolt and it becomes crystal clear to them that their previous beliefs which they parroted were false. Here are a few facts in question and answers:
Question: Is Southeast and Igboland the same thing?
Answer: Not at all. Southeast is only about 3/5th of Igboland. Igboland covers the whole of Southeast, parts of Rivers, Delta, Benue, and Akwa Ibom states.
Question: Why were we taught in school that Igbo people are easterners?
Answer: It is both an unfortunate parroting by teachers and careless adoption by Igbo educated class. Igbo people come from Southern Nigeria and not Eastern Nigeria. It may be correct to say that the Igbo are found predominantly in eastern Nigeria. However, by saying that the Igbo are easterners, the implication is that the Igbo in western Nigeria, numbering about 2.5 million (Agbor, Ogwashi Ukwu, Ibuzo, Okpanam, Asaba, Orimili, Ndokwa, Anioma, etc) are not Igbos. The best known Igbo anthropologist Professor Mike Onwuejeogwu is from the western part of Nigeria, Chukwuma Nzeogwu, Dennis Osadebe, Okonkwo Adibe (the famous musician), Sony Odogwu, etc. are all from the western part of Nigeria. They are no less Igbo than those who live in the eastern part of Nigeria. The correct answer to your question is "the Igbo come from Southern Nigeria."
Question: Why do some Igbo refer to themselves as "core Igbo?"
Answer: That is clearly arrant nonsense. Nobody is core and others peripheral. All Igbo are the same. It is both arrogant, thoughtless and insensitive for anybody to regard others as marginal.
Question: Is Igboland landlocked?
Answer: Not at all. Igboland stretches from Igwe Ocha (Port Harcourt) to Agbor. The Atlantic ocean washes the shores of Igboland. Africa's second largest river - River Niger, traverses Igboland with one part of Igboland in the east and another part in the west of Nigeria. Uguta Lake has the potential of accommodating large ships and could be made a navigable port. If Igboland is landlocked, then all Nigeria is landlocked.
Question: Is there oil in Igboland?
Answer: Yes, indeed. There is a lot of oil in Imo State, Abia, Ebonyi, Rivers State and Delta States Igbo areas, and now in Anambra. Besides, Igboland has many other natural resources, including coal, limestone, etc.
Question: Are the Igbo a nation or a tribe?
Answer: The Igbo are a nation, and a very large one. There are many tribes in Igbo nation, just like you have many tribes within Israel.
Question: Why do some Ikwerre people say they are not Igbo?
Answer: First, it is not up to them to say what they are and what they are not. When God created them, He did not ask them who they wanted to be. He just created them Igbo. The only way you'll know who belongs to what ethnic group in Nigeria is the name and what language the name comes from. Anybody whose name is Amadi or Onyeri, or Eke, or Odili, Wanodi (Nwanodi) does not need to tell you who he is. He is Igbo, his politics notwithstanding.
Question: But they claim that their language is Ikwerre, not Igbo.
Answer: That is politics. Ikwerre is a dialect of Igbo language. Just like an Ngwa man speaks Ngwa Igbo, Arochukwu speaks Arochukwu Igbo, etc.
Question: Some people say that Igbo language is not complete, is it true?
Answer: No language is complete. All languages borrow from each other. Igbo language is very rich. It has inexhaustible and rich linguistic features like idioms, proverbs, aphorisms, sayings, anecdotes, riddles, folklores, etc. Igbo language is one of the major languages of the world, being spoken by millions of people.
Question: How many are the Igbo?
Answer: The Igbo are very numerous. There is educated guess that if Nigeria's census is properly enumerated, the Igbo could easily be the largest ethnic group in the country. They may number up to 40 million. Everything right now, is speculation. Nobody knows the true stratification or ethnic populations in Nigeria. The Igbo are the only ethnic group found in large numbers everywhere in Nigeria, and foreign countries more than any other ethnic group in Africa.
Question: Do the Igbo have a culture of their own?
Answer: Yes, indeed. Igbo culture is perhaps, one of the richest and all-encompassing cultures in this world. Igbo culture always observes the temporal and the spiritual aspects of cosmology. The study of Igbo culture reveals that it is extremely deep and original.
Question: Why do the Igbo wear Yoruba Agbada and Hausa babban riga but the Yoruba and the Hausa do not ever wear Igbo national dress?
Answer: Unfortunately this is the case. The Igbo have very attractive and resplendent national dresses. And they come in assortments that are extremely dignifying. The Igbo take up foreign cultures more readily than other Nigerians, and they seem not to care that nobody reciprocates their carefree attitude to life. Most ethnics promote their cultures and show off what makes them unique. Actually, it is still the same so-called educated Igbo class who behave in such disgraceful and the devil-may-care attitude.
Question: Why do the Igbo call themselves Biafrans?
Answer: Great question. Some people have the idea that Biafra originates from the Bight of Biafra. But that is wrong. There was the Kingdom of Biafra that ruled most of the ancient world about 50,000 years ago. Unfortunately, nobody talks about it, for whatever reason, I do not know. But, it is in the ancient maps of the world. If you wish I'll make a copy and send to you.
Question: Were the Igbo also taken into slavery during the slave trade?
Answer: Yes. The Igbo slaves themselves gave account of their travails in slavery. Olauda Ekwuano an Igbo ex-slave who bought his freedom in Britain was the first slave to write about his experience in slavery. His book has become a classic. You ought to find it and read it. Also, other Igbos who were brought to America revolted and some walked back on water and were said to have returned to Africa. Several books have been written about them. One of such books is "Ibo Landing." It is available in bookstores like Barnes & Noble. In Haiti, the Igbo settled there and refused to be colonized by anybody. There are many places where the Igbo left their mark or their signature.
Question: How did the Igbo know days and years?
Answer: The Igbo invented an accurate, if not the most accurate calendar called "Iguafo Igbo (Igbo Calendar)." In Igbo calendar, there are four market days - Eke, Afor, Nkwo, Orie that make one week. Four days make one week, seven weeks make one month, and thirteen months make one year. There are 28 days for each month, with the last month having 29 days. Each month starts the same day as the previous. Igbo calendar forms the perfect astronomical alignment with the cosmos, and regulates the seasons, agriculture, navigation, astrology, geography, mathematics, travel, etc.
Question: Did the Igbo have their own alphabets?
Answer: Yes, indeed. It is called "Nsibidi."
Question: How about mathematics; did the Igbo know mathematics?
Answer: Yes, indeed. There are such inventions as "Okwe" and "Mkpisi" which the Igbo used to resolve figures.
Question: Did the Igbo know anything about banking?
Answer: Yes. Igbo banking was more in the nature of Savings and Loans. The authentic Igbo savings and loans invention called "Isusu' in which contributions are pooled each week and one person, who has the need, collects, is still in practice. Igbo slaves took this invention to the Caribbean Islands where they still practise it and call it "Sue Sue."
Question: Some people say that Igboland is too small for the Igbo, that they have no alternative than to live as Nigerians: is this true?
Answer: False. Igboland is a large country. Do every Igbo need to stay and work in Igboland? No. Everywhere in the world, some will stay home while others venture abroad in search of opportunities. Igboland is large enough for the Igbo. And it is a very rich and hospitable part of the world. It has rich soil for agriculture, abundant rainfall, good sunshine, and table land in many parts. Its land space and population are more than that of over half of the present countries in the world.
Question: Where did the Igbo come from?
Answer: That question is still being asked. There are very intriguing theories or histories now being studied. You may have heard of the Jewish angle, the Egypt angle, and the Origin of man angle. This twenty-first century, hopefully, will resolve the mystery.
Question: Why do people say that the Igbo are not united?
Answer: Those who say so, do so out of ignorance. The Igbo are famous for their unity. In the colonial period and the First Republic of Nigeria, the Igbo were always envied for their unity. Under Igbo Union, they accomplished many things. They were feared by others for this. Since after the war, the Igbo are gradually recovering and getting rid of the individualism they developed brought about by their war experience which enabled them to survive as a disinherited people. Now, there are vigorous efforts to reunite them and return them to their old glory which served them well in the past.
Question: Some people say that the Igbo are susceptible to being bought by some other Nigerians, and that they "sell" the Igbo in the bargain; is this true?
Answer: The same parroting and recycling of unfounded talk. When you hear such a talk, challenge the one who is mouthing it to give you evidence, or to cite an example of such an Igbo person. He is likely to say "what of Jim Nwobodo?" Tell him that the Igbo number about 40 million, if it would be fair for the action of one person to represent the integrity of the other 3.99.9 million. The truth is that an Igbo is like any other human being, when he sees where he can take advantage of a situation, he goes for it. It has nothing to do with "selling." Were we not told that fish clusters where the river was deepest or that the dog follows he who has crumbs? Not long ago in the history of Nigeria, other Nigerians were also running after the Igbo for crumbs because the Igbo were in position to call the shots. Things will not remain as they are today. In fact, things are changing fast.
Question: Why are other Nigerians always persecuting the Igbo?
Answer: I have always tried to know myself. I am one of those who believe that the Igbo are among the most peaceful people on earth. But, because of the fact that they are very hardworking, ambitious, and not afraid to live anywhere, or take up any task, they tend to be resented by their less ambitious and successful neighbors or hosts. When you confront a non-Igbo to say what specific offense the Igbo have committed against them, oftentimes they draw blank, or engage in fabrications, which they insist must stand for a fact. The Igbo believe in live-and-let-live. It is virtually impossible for any Igbo to rise against their guests or hosts. It has never happened in Nigeria, or elsewhere. It is an abomination in Igboland for a host to cause his guest harm. Instead, a guest is considered metaphysically and physically under the protection of the host. All Igbo deities forbid doing harm to a guest. The Igbo are accused of "loving money." I suppose the charge is based on the fact that they work hard and acquire money in the bargain. One would like to believe that the outcome of hardwork is good harvest and hopefully prosperity. If anybody takes offense at the prosperity of a hardworking person, then the Igbo or for that matter any other person or persons, have no apologies to render.
Question: Do the Igbo have their own system of jurisprudence before the arrival of the white man?
Answer: Yes. The Igbo had a system of resolving conflicts. The elders were presented with cases that could not be satisfactorily settled within the family or kindred. Matters where veracity must be ascertained, the Igbo resort to spirituality. Oath-taking is a matter left to the spirits to settle. Those who swear falsely were expected to be killed by the spirits within a given period. After the period, he is acquitted and he could celebrate with public merry-making. The Igbo did not have any prisons, but they could ostracise a culprit, exile him, or send him into slavery or to serve to a deity.
Question: Why don't the Igbo teach these things you are telling me to their children?
Answer: In the pursuit of what they taught was the "new way" either from Europeans or o Christianity, the Igbo began to distance themselves from their heritage, and in the process became lost in the wilderness of a world they hardly understand. They have learned their lesson the hard way. The twenty-first century will lead them back home.

Health / Weird; Man Invents Pill To Make Farts Smell Like Chocolate by dtito(m): 8:54am On Dec 04, 2014 |
French inventor has said the pill he developed was the brilliant idea inspired by a particularly flatulent meal he had with his friends. UPI reports Christian Poincheval, 65, of Gesvres, said his Lutin Malin — or Crafty Imp — line of pills can make a customer’s bodily gases smell like chocolate, roses or violets. Poincheval developed the chocolate scent specially for Christmas. The website selling the products bill the pills as “The Father Christmas fart pill that gives your farts the scent of chocolate.” “It’s a nice present for the festive season,” Poincheval told The Local. “There will be a real need for these pills over Christmas.” Poincheval said the invention was inspired by an uncomfortably flatulent dinner with friends about six years ago. “We had just come back from Switzerland and we were eating a lot with our friends and the smell from the flatulence was really terrible. We couldn’t breathe so me and a friend decided something had to be done,” Poincheval said. The pills are billed as “100 percent natural” and include fennel, seaweed and blueberries among their ingredients. http://nobledaniel./2014/12/04/weird-man-invents-pill-to-make-farts-smell-like-chocolate/
