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.

Oruko Amutorunwa (Pre-Destined Names) In Yorubaland

                                                           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...

Togo now has its plan to combat land degradation

Land degradation is a reality in Togo. According to figures put forward by the Ministry of the Environment, each year 4.14% of the land (nationally) succumb to the phenomenon. And it is in response to the problem that the Government launched last March, the Program of definition of the national targets on neutrality in land degradation (PDC / NDT). On Thursday in Lomé, environmental experts validated a document that will serve as a blueprint for sustainable land management in Togo. This document, which estimates that 23,500 hectares of land are degraded each year in Togo between 2000 and 2010, has already identified national targets assessed on the basis of indicators such as land use, net productivity or carbon. According to the Secretary General of the Ministry of Environment and Forest Resources, Sama Boundjouw, these targets and their measures to be validated will become guidelines for any actor involved in the fight against land degradation in Togo during the next twelve...
