Yeah...its the wizzy!!!
Indeed for every successful man, there is always a woman, and behind
the downfall of everyman too, there will always be the traces of a
woman, or so they say. Believe or not, it is what it is.
In the instance of sensational
Marvin Records superstar, Wande Coal, there is a woman who is the solid
rock behind his musical relevance and that's his mother, Mrs. Omolara
Ojosipe. She recently had a brief chat with Alonge Michael where she
reluctantly revealed how she nursed Wande Coal to stardom.
How did you nurse Wande Coal to stardom?

WONDERS OF LEMON WATER YOU SHOULD KNOW
Green or yellow, lemons are lemon and have the same effect. Just don't mind the taste...awwwww...
Smoothies can be packed with protein; pre-workout energizers,
hydrators, and post-workout recovery accelerators can deliver
performance-enhancing nutrients; herbal teas can soothe or energize —
all of these beverages have a functional purpose to meet specific
wellness needs. And then there’s a less obvious, simple, blender-free
drink that serves a mighty wellness-enhancing purpose. Providing more
than just hydration, fresh lemon juice and water can deliver surprising
benefits.
Starting every morning with a glass of warm lemon water is actually a ritual in Ayurveda or Yogic traditions, used to stimulate digestion for the day and clear the body of any toxins that may have settled in the digestive tract overnight. While it is tricky to apply the strict burden of evidence expected by Western science to traditional practices (often called “folk medicine”) that originated long before modern medical science standards were developed, research on the nutritional elements found in lemons suggests the numerous health benefits traditionally associated with drinking fresh lemon water daily may have merit.
We tend to reach for those warm beverages in the morning like coffee and tea, but try starting your day with some warm lemon water first to kick-start digestion. The water doesn’t always have to be warm, but it should be purified. Simply use half a fresh lemon per large glass of water or to taste and sip throughout the day. On a simple level, fresh lemons take plain old water up a notch. Here are 5 health benefits of drinking lemon water that elevate drinking it for reasons beyond just taste:

On a simple level, fresh lemons take plain old water up a notch. Here are 5 health benefits of drinking lemon water that elevate drinking it for reasons beyond just taste:
- Support immune function: Lemons are high in antioxidant vitamin C, known for its supportive role in healthy immune function1,2 which may reduce the risk of respiratory infection3. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) found in lemons demonstrates anti-inflammatory effects, and is used as complementary support for asthma and other respiratory symptoms4,5. Lemons also contain saponins6, which show antimicrobial properties that may help keep cold and flu at bay. Last but not least, ascorbic acid enhances iron absorption in the body; iron plays an important role in immune function7.
- Alkalize the body: Although the tartness of a lemon may make them seem acidic, lemons are actually one of the most alkalizing foods for the body. Lemons contain both citric and ascorbic acid, weak acids easily metabolized from the body allowing the mineral content of lemons to help alkalize the blood.
- Aid digestion: Citrus flavonols8 are believed responsible for lemon’s traditional use as a digestive tonic. Believed to stimulate and purify the liver, lemon juice is traditionally understood to support digestive hydrochloric acid in the stomach further aiding digestion. Vitamin C status has been associated with reduced risk of peptic ulcers caused by the bacteria Helicobacter pylori9.
- Clear skin: Vitamin C and other antioxidants in lemons combat free radical damage. Free radical damage — especially as caused by UV exposure and environmental toxins — is responsible for many symptoms of aging. Antioxidant intake can help offset this damage, minimizing wrinkles. Further, lemon juice can be applied topically to scars and age spots to help reduce their appearance. Traditionally used as a liver stimulant, lemon water is also believed to help purge toxins from the blood, helping to keep skin clear of blemishes.
- Promote healing: Ascorbic acid (vitamin C), found in abundance in lemons, promotes wound healing, and is an essential nutrient in the maintenance of healthy bones, connective tissue, and cartilage10. As noted previously, vitamin C also displays anti-inflammatory properties. Combined, vitamin C is an essential nutrient in the maintenance of good health and recovery from stress and injury.

FUN TANTRIC EXCERCISE-LETS GO THERE
What do you know about our topic today?
Or rather, what do you know about it that doesn’t involve rumors of Sting’s 24-hour marathon sex sessions with wife Trudie Styler? I didn’t know much either—so I turned to the experts to find out more:here are my findings...
WHAT TANTRA IS…AND ISN’T
Born in India over 6,000 years ago, the practice of Tantra has to do with much more than sex. Tantra practitioner Matthew Stillman explains, “In the sacred Indian texts the purpose of Tantra (in its overtly sexual and non-sexual forms) is for spiritual awakening, enlightenment, moksha or freedom. That might be outside the experience or language of many people, so a more secular approach might be to help discover and nourish all parts of you and using sexual energy as a door toward that.”

SIMPLY WAYS TO LONGER LIFE
The secret to a longer life is none of these things. It is more
simple, more integral. To live longer, it appears you need to have
longer telomeres.
For those who are a little rusty on cellular biology, telomeres are essentially chromosome covers; they keep our genetic material from unraveling and becoming damaged. Since they protect the master plan at the heart of each and every one of our cells, telomeres are an extremely important indicator of overall health and expected lifespan
There’s really not much complexity to it. To lengthen your telomeres, it seems that all it takes is a healthy lifestyle: check after this...
