Unlocking the mystery of aging, sickness and disease Posted: 25 Jun 2014 06:48 AM PDT Health, you have often heard is wealth. A sick wealthy man would spend his last kobo in pursuit of good health. So, if you have good health, you are considered to be rich and also have everything. These days, it is common to hear of people below the age of 5O dying untimely or being diagnosed with one ailment or the other. Ailments that were never heard of in the days of our grandparents are what people are being diagnosed with these days. Continue... This is because the body has been exposed to a lot of unhealthy eating habits, environmental pollution and stress. For the human body to stay healthy it needs a required level of minerals and vitamins; but because it is almost impossible for humans to take all the essential nutrients required by the body, we find ourselves breaking down at one time or another. That is why we need supplements to cover up for the lack of vitamins and minerals in the body. Ideally, daily intake of required fruits and vegetables at recommended quantities can help fill this void but truth be told, how many people take fruits & vegetables everyday? As long as we have consumed our garri, fufu, rice, soft drinks and junk foods, we are good to go. Since we are not taking the required minerals and vitamins needed by the body daily in order to stay healthy, energized and youthful, it is essential to always be on supplements. Supplements are concentrated sources of nutrients or substances with the nutritional effect of supplementing normal diet. There are several supplements today, in choosing a supplement, it is better to use one that has all the important ingredients required by the body imbedded in the right amount. All essential ingredients plus fruits and vegetables are what you would find in Genesis Nutritional Drink. GENESIS nutritional drink is a powerful antioxidant supplement produced by Symmetry Corporation, u.s.a. it is the most powerful antioxidant product we have in the market worldwide as at today. GENESIS is a delicious combination of red grape and pomegranate in a mixture of apple and aloe vera juice infused with a proprietary blend of super foods, healing herbs, powerful antioxidants, phytonutrients, and much more. GENESIS contains the exclusive triple-patented x'tranol-24 that will impede the production of free radicals in the body for a full 24 hours. A single serving of 30ml also provides the complete array of healthful nutrients in red wine without the alcohol (including resveratrol) that aid in lowering the risk of heart and cardiovascular disease and prolonging life. Infused in GENESIS are the world's most potent herbs such as barley grass, cinnamon, coriander leaf & seed, cucumber, fig, garlic, juniper berry, leek, lentil, mulberry fruit, olive leaf, onion, sweet almond & wheat grass. The herbs are steeped in a juice blend without heat to delicately extract their botanical components and avoid damages to their active ingredients. GENESISis more than a juice; it helps you feel young and healthy by slowing down the body's natural aging process and boosting your energy. For those that are science inclined, to measure the effectiveness of any anti-oxidant product, you need the orac (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) score of a product and genesis drink has been tested and confirmed to have 400,000 which exceed the orac-score of a lot of other known products, so it was given a super orac-score. Hence, daily intake of GENESIS nutritional drink is what everyone needs to stay healthy. The great news is that GENESIS drink can be taken by everyone.

Man detained in mental institute in Kano for saying there is no God Posted: 25 Jun 2014 06:13 AM PDT Mubarak Bala has been held up at a mental institute in Kano state since June 13th despite being given a clean bill of health because he declared he does not believe in God. According to the International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU) Bala is being held against his will and forcibly medicated at the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, where he has been kept since June 13. The chemical engineering graduate is allegedly being held on the grounds of a "personality change" because he declared himself an atheist despite being raised in a Muslim family in Kano, which is a mainly Muslim state. The organisation says that when Mr Bala told his family he did not believe in God, they took him to a doctor and asked if he was mentally ill. Continue...When this doctor found him to be fit and well, the family are then believed to have taken him to a second doctor who claimed he was suffering with a personality disorder. The family allegedly told this doctor he also made delusional claims that he was a "governor" and other "trivial lies". The 29-year-old managed to raise the alarm that he was being held in emails and tweets sent to activists from a smartphone smuggled into the facility and the IHEU said a Lagos-based group has asked a lawyer to take up his case. In one of the emails, he wrote: "And the biggest evidence of my mental illness was large blasphemies and denial of 'history' of Adam, and apostasy, to which the doctor said was a personality change, that everyone needs a God, that even in Japan they have a God. And my brother added that all the atheists I see have had mental illness at some point in their life." The IHEU is "deeply concerned" about Mr Bala's welfare and violations of his human rights. IHEU spokesman Bob Churchill said: "It appears that a warped notion of family honour is the motivation to pressure Mubarak in this appalling manner, to conform to religious views that he simply doesn't hold. This is an abhorrent violation of his freedom of thought and belief. "We are joining with humanists and human rights advocates in Nigeria and the activists who have worked to highlight this case, in calling for an immediate re-evaluation of Mubarak's case by a doctor who is entirely independent of the family, and for his swift release."

'Don't call her my son' R-Kelly finally addresses transgender daughter Posted: 25 Jun 2014 05:37 AM PDT In case you haven't heard, R&B legend R Kelly has a transgender daughter with ex-wife and star of Hollywood exes, Andrea Kelly. 14 year old Jaya Kelly (pictured right) now goes by the name Jay after she revealed she/he has identified as male since he was 7 years old. She's dumped her female clothes and strictly wears clothes and even cut her hair. Jay admitted that her father recently found out about her transition to a boy but her mum and sister have known for a while and are supportive. Well, R.Kelly may know that his daughter now calls herself a boy but he's definitely having difficulty coming to terms with it. When asked about it during an interview at the WCGI Summer Jam this week, R.Kelly shut the reporter up when he referred to Jaya as his son. "Well, first off don't start by calling her my son. As far as that's concerned, always believe what you see - with your own eyes that is. That's the best way to go about this business. I've heard a lot of things about a lot of people and it was never true."Awwww, a father in denial. See more photos of Jaya/Jay Kelly after the cut...
