EXERCISE.
When most people hear about exercise all they think of is hard labour. But
exercise is good for our health .Below are some of the benefits of exercise:
Improves blood circulation
prevents hypertension, diabetes
recovery treatment for stroke
headaches, muscle aches
RUNNING VS WALKING
And while you sleep your abdominal muscles which help digestion are inactive, during the day you are
up and down and the abdominal muscles squeeze the stomach and assist in churning the food but at
night this doesn't happen and digestion takes longer and the food ferments and when it's done you have a
lot of energy and most of it is turned into energy store or fat
thus those who eat late usually gain weight. But if you had eaten around 18:00 you would still be active
and some of the food would have been used up as energy. Thus if someone wanted to lose weight they
would have to change their meals around Every heard of breakfast like a king, lunch like a peasant and
dinner like a beggar. The breakfast should be the heaviest meal of the day e.g. Nsima in the morning. So
that by lunch most of the energy from food is used up. By lunch you have already done so much work
you can have a lighter meal e.g some pasta
And dinner you can take some fruits which will take less time to digest. In between drink water. Do this
and you may never have to complain of weight gain again, plus you will be healthy because the body
needs most energy in the morning and less as the day goes by
TEMPERANCE
Also we need to get rid of caffeine. This is found in coffee, tea, energy drinks and other
beverages. Caffeine is dangerous it implants where your receptors receive adenosine which is
a hormone for sleep. Caffeine Makes you feel awake and alert, because it makes your body
feel stress and shocked, thus your body starts pumping blood and breaking down glycogen
into glucose thus raising blood glucose level. Thus caffeine is dangerous for those with high
blood pressure or diabetes. So instead you can plant some lemon grass near your house and
use this as a tea it has many health benefits too, hibiscus as a tea or black strap molasses.
Another thing is refined sugar. Refined sugar is dangerous and so too are sugars in the soft
drinks. These can drop your immunity for upto 5hrs and also you use up calcium from bones
to breakdown the sugar, So instead replace with natural honey which has more health benefits.
CONTRAST GRAM FOR GRAM WITH MORINGA
Cow Milk is another evil, most people develop diabetes type 2. Once milk is
digested the Body fails to digest casein which is a milk protein. In the body since
it's a protein the body recognises it as an antigen and antibodies cells are sent to
attack it. And it is these same antibodies that attack the islet cells of the pancreas
because they have similar receptor site. So as time goes the pancreas gets weaker
and fails to produce insulin and diabetes type 2 starts. Replace milk with soya
milk. The purpose of temperance is to take out the bad and replace with
something good. And also regulate the good. Intemperance always results into
disease.

NUTRITION
one area that needs care! Eat whole grain rather than refined grains!
Whole maize or wheat brans products are better. Eat lots of fresh
fruit with breakfast, eat green leaves together with supper and lunch,
make them into salads if not steam them! Whole grains, fruits,
vegetables all contain fibre.
Fibre is important in reducing the amount of cholesterol in the body,
as well as helping the movement of food in the alimentary canal.
When bile is secreted to emulsify fats in the intestines, the fibre binds
to the bile and it is excreted in the faces, whilst if you eat refined
foods there is little or no fibre and the bile is reabsorbed to be re-
used! Bile is made in the liver and the liver makes it from the
cholesterol, so in case of fibre foods, the liver continual makes bile
from the cholesterol in the blood stream.
Fruits and vegetables contain anti-
oxidants such as vitamin E. These help
fight oxidised cholesterol, and help raise
the amount of High density lipo-proteins
which is good for the heart! Also drink
400ml of carrot juice on an empty
stomach, will help remove plaque from
the arteries and prevent them from
hardening and also restore their elasticity
Eat nuts, nuts (a handful per day) with breakfast. Legumes are also good,
especially soy beans, green beans, etc... Seeds are also best because they contain
a concentration of organic minerals. Sesame seeds as well as pumpkin seeds are
very good as they contain lots of fibre. So the health diet will consist an
abundance of fruits, nuts, grains, legumes, vegetables and seeds! Also eat tubers
such as potatoes, yams, sweet potatoes and cassava. Also kidney beans, black
eyed peas, green peas, soya beans are all great sources of plant protein. Green
leafy vegetables are excellent, and it's best to eat the raw whenever possible. For
example, spinach has more protein than beef. It's best to eat twice a week.
Meat and meat products, eggs, chicken, as well
as milk and milk products these are what will
cause hypertension and are the mother of all
disease, due to the high amount of fat they
contain. Deep frying will only worsen these
food items. When you deep fry these food items
become oxidized and thus are carcinogenic to
the body and will lead to cancer or tumours.
Avoid preservatives, soft drinks, baking soda.
