Lemon Is An Anti-cancer Food- Expert

Dr. Ayelara Oni, an Alternative Therapy Medical Practitioner and Nutritionist, on Thursday said lemon was an anti-cancer food.

Oni made the disclosure in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

She said lemon was acidic in taste but was an alkaline-forming food, explaining that this was why it was good for balancing a highly acidic condition in the body, thereby balancing the body’s pH.

She added that lemon contained 22 anti-cancer compounds, including limonene, which is the natural oil that helps to slow or halt the growth of cancer.

The Benefits of Massage

By Celine Momoh-Sanni

A popular Nigerian musician, the late Fela Anikulapo kuti once said that in Nigeria, people are suffering and smiling. He painted a scenario in Lagos where 39 people only sit down in a commuting ‘Molue’ bus while 99 people stand. That is the story of the average lagosian. Imagine Waking up in morning before dawn to pick a bus/or drive to the Island, a long day of standing on cement floors, lifting heavy boxes, or sitting at a desk. Your back is killing you, there is a sharp pain in your shoulder, and your temples are throbbing. Fatigue, repetitive motion, muscle strain, or staying in one position for an extended amount of time could cause any or maybe all of these symptoms. 

It's your body's way of saying, "slow down and take it easy". How you respond to these symptoms determines how you will feel. What if your stress, pain, tension, and fatigue could be purged from your body through therapeutic massage? Would you get one? There are many reasons a person may desire or need a massage. The above example covers 80-90% of the cases a massage therapist sees.

The power of touch has miraculous effects: for the very young to the very old, for the terminally ill to the marathon athlete, and for the stay-at-home mum to the over-stressed executive. Massage has the power to relax, heal, and help release emotions and tension without the aid of drugs. 

Why You Need Regular Facial Treatment

So you want to look beautiful? Then take care of your face especially if you live in an African country like Nigeria where you have repeated exposure to the sun. Studies show that when we recognize a face as "beautiful" we are actually making a judgment about the health and vitality of that individual. We interpret facial symmetry (the similarity of left and right halves of a face) and the smoothness of the skin to mean that a person has good genes and has been free from diseases. In those days of ignorance, it was the body size that Nigerians use to interpret who is healthy or not. So people on the big side were regarded healthy and skinny were considered sick. Thank God for the enlightenment of science. Now most Nigerians know the skin (especially the face region) tells a lot about our emotional, physical and psychological well being- so pamper it.

A professional facial is way more than a luxury – it is hygiene & exercise for the skin. A facial treatment does for your skin what a month of exercise and good nutrition does for your body – noticeably improve its look and feel. Facial treatment offers you the opportunity to work with a skincare specialist who will analyze your skin, help you improve your complexion and show you how to have proper home care for your skin. Through exfoliation, deep-cleaning of the pores, stimulating improved circulation, and use of professional-strength products, your aesthetician can make a lot of progress towards improving your skin in a single session. Like the personal trainer, she has experience, techniques, products and equipment that cannot be replicated at home.
