D uring the Holy month of Ramadan, healthy Adult Muslims practice daily fasting from dawn until sunset. Traditionally, one breaks the fast at sunset with a meal called Iftar and then eats again pre-dawn at Suhoor. There is evidence to suggest that fasting can have positive effects on your health. It may help you lose weight and decrease blood pressure and cholesterol. However, the Holy Month is often seen as a time to practice self-control, self-discipline, sacrifice and empathy for those less fortunate. The month of Ramadan is a great opportunity to focus on bringing back a balanced and healthy lifestyle. Through fasting you learn how to manage your eating habits and improve self-discipline. If you're overweight, it can be an opportunity to lose weight ,provided you eat healthily when you break the fast. " You are unlikely to reach the starvation stage during Ramadan, because the fast is broken daily, " says Dr Razeen Mahroof, a consultant from Oxford. A balanced food ...

DEDICATED TO THE PATIENTS' RELATIVES IN NIGERIAN HOSPITALS These people spend most of their waking or even sleeping hours thinking about the patients. They sleep at corridor or staircase, pay at cashier and go another mile to queue for drug (The queue at pharmacy is unspeakable). They run here and there to make things available for patients treatment. Buy spirit, buy cotton wool, latex gloves, this and that. Take insults from some harsh nurses, doctors and other health personnel. That is why some are irritable and aggressive. They are weighed down with fear of the uncertain, and depression. They may even need to take patients to town for various investigations and may even forget about themselves when engrossed in the patient's care. At the end many go home without their loved ones who end up in the morgue 😢. This is just little of what patients' relatives go through. My heart goes out to them today as they scatter all over the places A & E, EPU e.t.c under the trees, ...

“I have come that they might have life,…and have it more abundantly” — John 10:10b Physical humans are the only ones in all of the universe that believe in lack. Lack doesn’t exist but physical beings have managed to vibrate in a way where they hold themselves apart from the things they want. – Esther Hicks (Teachings of Abraham). We live in a world of abundance; there is abundance of wealth, health, riches, deposits of gold and diamonds... of yet untapped resources... of ideas, and the list goes… ad infinitum. But the question has always been: Why is there poverty in this world? Why is there lack? Why scarcity of basic human needs? The answer is simply because we have been taught to believe in a lie, society has so programmed our minds to believe in scarcity, and this lie-virus has been sweeping through humanity. Truth is, lack doesn’t exist, abundance does. Even the so caled recession is a big lie fed upon our subconscious by the so called economist, there is abundance of wealth an...

He has been regarded as one of the wisest man to ever walk this planet. In terms of wealth, no earthly king has matched his riches. His record of laision romantiques with 1,000 women (700 wives and 300 concubines) is yet to be rivaled by any known mortal. The magnificient Temple he built in Jerusalem (which was later destroyed and burnt down in 70 A.D) would have top the list of "7 modern wonders of the world"  What will still baffle a 21st century man is how on earth did wise King Solomon of ancient Israel had enough time to write poems, compose love songs, write the famous book of proverbs (verse 7 of the 23rd chapter said it all...' as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he' ) which is still a timeless classic and lead his nation to countless wars? In his 1903 book, ' Sun ' James Allen told us that "man is made or unmade by himself; in the armoury of thought, he forges the weapon by which he destroys himself; he also fashions the tools with which he ...
