There are three dimensions to health and wellness - prevention, management and treatment. What many people do not know is that there are tremendous Business Opportunities in the health and wellness industry.

Some few persons have discovered this secret long time ago and they've just been living a very coded life; not willing to share their secrets with others. But now I have to share this with you because I realized one thin

Age-related diseases are illnesses and conditions that occur more frequently in people as they get older, meaning age is a significant risk factor. According to David Hogan, gerontologist, and professor of medicine at the University of Calgary, examples of age-related diseases are: 1. Cardiovascular Disease: Heart disease is the number one killer in Nigeria, and among the leading causes of death in many other countries. The most common form is coronary artery disease, which involves a narrowing or blockage of the main arteries supplying the heart with blood. Obstructions can develop over time, or quickly - as in an acute rupture - and cause potentially fatal heart attacks. 2. Cerebrovascular Disease (Strokes): A stroke happens when blood stops flowing in one area of the brain because of a disruption in one of the blood vessels. It is very serious because brain cells deprived of oxygen in the blood begin to die very quickly. There are two types of strokes. The mo

There's something going on in your body right now and I don't want you to continue to be ignorant of it. Have you ever heard about what is called Oxidative Stress? In case you don't know please be patient a little to read what I am about to share with you here. Just as apples turn brown when exposed to air because of oxidation process that goes on when the inside of the apple gets exposed to oxygen, that is exactly what happens inside your body when you breath in oxygen. We cannot live without oxygen; our cells use almost all of the oxygen we breathe in for energy production. But around two percent of it doesn’t get used. This “extra” oxygen splits into single atoms which is called Free radicals. Free radicals can cause large chain chemical reactions in your body because they react so easily with other molecules. These reactions are called oxidation. Oxidative stress, on the other hand, occurs when there’s an imbalance between free radical activity an

The year is still new and so many people usually start the year with fasting. Fasting is usually done for either health or spiritual reasons. We do that by taking control of our hunger, and not being a slave to our cravings for food and drinks. Yes, fasting has a lot of health and spiritual benefits however, if not done properly it may result to some adverse effects on our health.
