NUTRITIONAL BENEFIT OF AFRICAN LOCUST BEANS


This morning, I posted a picture on my WhatsApp timeline of me craving noodles and eggs, which had locust beans as an escort😜.

Surprisingly, I had some people asking how strange it would be to consume such a? I giggled and replied a few, saying that I could add locust beans to most of my meals. WHY? read along!



ABOUT THIS NATURAL FOOD SEASONING

The African Locust bean is a plant nutrient with a black tasty intense-scent seasoning called "Iru" in the Yoruba language, "ogili" in the Igbo language, and when boiled and fermented, is known as "DawaDawa" in the Hausa language.

It is rich in lipids, calcium, carbohydrates, and a good source of protein, as it belongs to the legume plant family and is consumed either in its mashed or free form.

Here are its health benefits:
1. It's rich in antioxidants that boost your body's immune system and digestion.
2. It contains lipids that eliminate bad fats and improve your heart health level.
3. Source of fibre that controls body sugar levels reduces the risk of diabetes and diarrhea.
4. It helps to promote good sight; this was my first motivation to eat it.
5. An anticancer nutrient, I recommend you offtime replace many chemically synthesized seasonings with this natural seasoning.

Locust beans can be added to almost every meal, not just because it tasteful🥳 but because of their distingue health benefits.

Good evening and happy democracy day.

THRIVE BY LEARNING IN DISCIPLINE

Months ago, I bore on to be trained by a successful senior colleague. As an oldie, I sometimes am tempted to skip training by telling myself that I know and have done these things before. After a month, I realized newbies were delivering results I had yet to have. I mustered courage and went to meet my trainer! to access me. IToas confident he would give me the needed spanking and motivational alignment, but lo😭, he said_ hosanna be more disciplined. It took me weeks to readjust, humble myself, and start doing what was needed to cause a shift in my mental attitude; the results I got were changing for the better. I am excited to share these transformational life cues with you today : 1. Be OPEN! Be CURIOUS:  You have to become like a child in any learning sphere. Learn to watch, talk less & do more than average. 2. HUMILITY: This will take you to places and help you learn from nobody and everybody to be Somebody. 3. DISCIPLINE: without this, no man can be truly su
LIFE Mission: Find a Balance  In social sciences, we were made to understand that man needs are insatiable. True as it may be, it doesn't stop us from not utilizing the gift of life and our daily going forth in search for ways to filling these needs! Year 2018 have started in its majestic regalia, you might have take time out to write out your yearly goals & dreams, taking action steps towards it everyday and prioritizing your immediate wants & needs........good! good! good. I have learnt that: _ Man life is based on Beliefs upon which he builds his faith; and that our Needs lays the bedrock on which our Beliefs are built. _ Despite been aware of the truth that all men will someday pass on to the great beyond and be free of this cycle, many still live a carefree life in the present! with a vain sense of relief and reassurance that pleasures of now and tempting joys from imagination of the future will bring them to satisfying all their desires and ne

DON'T SHRINK! QUALITY REQUIRES PATIENCE

Over last weekend, while uploading contents to my social media handles, a valuable lesson was gained from trying to upload to my blog. I had successfully published the post and shared the link to my social media handles when I realized the image quality was poor. I was disturbed and went back to re-upload the images. For over an hour and a half, the same quality of images was given even after refreshing the web page repeatedly, switching networks, and sitting positions. I finally succumbed to the thought of leaving the image like that, I had logged out of blogger and as I stood up to go about other activities I felt disappointed with myself. The inner me said why would you settle for that, will you or your audience enjoy content with such image quality? I sat back and decided to log in again and delete and upload the images again! And boom, I had my eureka moment; image resolution was perfectly loaded. I sighed in joy and in retrospective, I understood that t
