Foods to stay away from for a flat tummy


If hitting the gym or taking early morning jogs isn't your thing and you happen to have a protruding belly which isn't swollen with the child but fat, my dear you really need to watch what you eat! Of course, there's no certain food that loads fat into your tummy, fat is added to the whole of your body including your belly! Now down to the foods you shouldn't eat, check out this list.

Fried foods

I bet that plate of deep fried plantain and potatoes looks so yummy you can't possibly resist! Before you go grab that fried stuff you should know that while giving in to your cravings you are increasing your risk for fat gain, obesity, stroke etc. Fried foods and fast foods might seem delicious, stomach-filling and easy to grab but you should know that they pose a threat to your health.

Sugary drinks

A bottle of soft drink which most people can't do without after a meal contains a whopping amount of calories which can trigger your risk for heart disease and diabetes! Want some orange juice? Go for freshly squeezed oranges out of the fridge and ditch sugar-laden fruit juices.

Pastries

Baked goodies should be a NO NO for you, they are far from being nutritional, all they add to your body is more calories! Without the presence of fiber and protein in pastries they a bigger threat to your health as they are empty foods without nutritional content so ditch them except on rare occasions.

Salty foods

Curb your intake of salty foods as the sodium content causes water retention which can lead to a bloated body and belly. While cooking use a moderate amount of salt and avoid salty snacks.

Ibi Ugwu (Male Circumcision) In Igbo Land

The act of circumcising babies in Igbo land is an ancient culture and tradition of the Igbo people which has its origin from their traditional religions. “Circumcision is the act of removing female genitalia, or a simple fold of skin (foreskin and prepuce) that covers the head of an un-erect penis”. In ancient times, the Igbos circumcise both male and female children, but as modernization set in, the circumcision or genital mutilation of Igbo female children was stopped while that of male continued till today. The circumcision of male babies (Ibi Ugwu) in Igbo land is done on the 8th day after birth. This is done by experts in the act, like midwives and native doctors (in modern day, physicians carry out this operation). During circumcision, the fore skin that covers the head of the penis is cut off and the operated part is treated to heal quickly and to prevent any form of infection. Male circumcision (Ibi Ugwu) takes five to seven day to heal up. Meanwhile, some Igbos circumcis...

                                                           Ibeji (Twins) In Yoruba land, one of the most important things done when a child is born is to give the child a name. This comes after the child’s ritual birth, massage of specific body parts and other rites as well. Names are given to the child by the father, mother, grandparents (paternal and maternal) and some close relatives also. But sometimes, the circumstance of a child’s birth will automatically give the child a name. This name is known as ‘orúko àmútọ̀runwá’ (pre-destined or generic name) in Yorubaland. The most common generic names (orúko àmútọ̀runwá) in Yoruba land are ‘Taiwo‘ and ‘Kehinde‘ (altogether known as Ìbejì) which are given to twins. The first born of the twins is called Táíwò, a shortened form of Tò-aiyé-wò (taste the world) while the last born of the t...
