...E ating is not a disorder but eating unhealthily is... we’ve all got these unique ways our body feels when we need to munch on something... Each month we consider significant concerns about health, life and business involving women and all-round well being. And this time we are taking a conscious ride to examine our eating habit… Without educating the body, it really knows when to poke you to get it refueled. A common analogy of how important food is to the body is the work of gas in a car which allows it to run and do so effectively. Sometimes we get engrossed with activities that we ignore signs expressed by our body to demand for food and other times we overly pay attention to our body to lend more than it requires. The need to adequately fuel the car cannot be overstated as it is the case of food and the body, to stay alive and alert. Some people like I do, feel a burning sensation to always eat each time the mouth is open. Despite the insignificance of the calories they...

It is no news that the pandemic has plunged some women into seeking suitable face cleaning regimens.  Wondering how to do that elaborate makeover and a dashing makeup for that meeting and daily activities?  We are in this together, the reason I have few tips to get you prepped to embrace the new normal. At the end, we should learn to take proper care of our faces regardless of the limitations experienced in the course of observing the controls.  So let's dive right in! All the nations of the world have united to enforce the use of face masks to not necessarily abolish the known pandemic but to help protect individuals against the pandemic. We must reiterate that most protective clothing like the facemasks are not necessarily comfortable but offer the best protection against any potential for injury or harm. As we progress, it is also important we note that face masks do not lower oxygen levels , However, the face masks may be harsh on the skin posing skin conditions such ...

Face masks now popular to the mass falls within the category of one of the hierarchies of hazard (anything with the potential to cause harm) control. Welcome to another section on Safety Lane with Inyene Udoekong as we consider the title as well as the question.

My humble appeal is for your receptiveness to learn and to contribute politely. Right into it; as humans, we have about 90 seconds worth of ATP stored in our bodies which we constantly use, hence the need to always get sufficient oxygen to aid the operations of the Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). I do not mean to remind you of your unappealing chemistry days, but some chemistry and biological jargons may be used to establish our points. What is Oxygen? In layman’s term, oxygen is a colourless, odourless, tasteless gas essential for the breathing process. Meaning we cannot be effectively fun...

…Polish your poise with grace...  When distinguished women are globally recognized for their impact in their various spheres of influence, it should charge others to work and believe “I also Can” and “I Own It”.  I was passing by a street when I observed keenly a man dishing celebrity postures that were captured with a portable phone camera, he stood for few minutes alternating styles as I pondered; he made  a delightful face for the camera,  enhanced the background with  accessories and guised himself so happy in that moment. As we know, the camera was designed to capture moments. But in genuineness, the true stories are not captured by the camera but by us. Only we can tell the real deal besides the euphoria of the moment. Just a thought! if every moment captured on social media platforms, camera, and every other platform is a lifestyle why record a moment that is incomparable to a culture. Oh yeah! I need not borrow a moment for display, I have all my l...
