Uniabuja sun is not a joke ooo.
It will make you start questioning why you chose the school 🤦🏽‍♀️
One hot day, after a series of tiring lectures, the only thing on my mind was something cold. So I headed to a shop in my faculty and bought this cold 200 Naira kunu.

Happy birthday to me

I wasted my extra 200 Naira on the second bottle of kunu that wasn't needed. Don't let cravings trick you into overindulgence especially as a student in this economy 🤧
Learn to satisfy your physical hunger, not your mental wants.

Next time you're about to buy that cold soda, wait for 10- 15 minutes (that's how long it takes a dopamine strike to die down), then drink a glass of chilled water or if you're craving a particular snack, ask yourself if you're hungry or if you're about to waste your money.

9 out of 10 times you actually don’t need that sprite or 7up or coke or Fanta

You just need very cold water.

I promise

Salad is supposed to be healthy & nourishing but when the cream becomes the main ingredient, the vegetables are just decorations.
You don't have to stop eating it. Just use less cream or no cream at all😌

[BEYOND HUNGER @BeyondHungerEd]

Your salad contains almost the same calories as a soft drink.

Hit me with the harshest reality truth.

[BEYOND HUNGER @BeyondHungerEd]

Just 1 tablespoon of mayo contains 90-100cals and sometimes we add 3-4 spoons in our salads, that's 300-400calories.
At this point, your "salad" is closer to being a sugary drink than plain vegetables. You're not eating healthy, you're sipping oil in disguise!

@p_fiks777 If your organs aren't functioning well enough to "detox" you, a tea won't fix them. Detox teas contain laxatives & diuretics which can add more damage to the failing organs.
If your body's natural filtration system is failing, GO TO THE HOSPITAL & SEEK MEDICAL HELP!

[BEYOND HUNGER @BeyondHungerEd]

Detox teas are everywhere. Promising to "cleanse your body", flatten your stomach & help you lose weight.

Let's talk about what detox tea is actually doing to your body.

A thread 🧵

[BEYOND HUNGER @BeyondHungerEd]

@p_fiks777 .....and it shouldn't be consumed!

[BEYOND HUNGER @BeyondHungerEd]

Do you peel potatoes before boiling?

Here's what you don't know:

Potato skin contains dietary fiber, potassium, Iron & antioxidants.
Peeling your potatoes before cooking allows some nutrients to be lost or dissolved when boiled.

[BEYOND HUNGER @BeyondHungerEd]

@p_fiks777 Not all, as far as I know, only potato & sweet potato skin are edible. And even when this skin contains green patches or sprouts, it should not be consumed because it contains a natural toxin, which is the case for most tubers.
Cassava peel for example contains some cyanide....

[BEYOND HUNGER @BeyondHungerEd]

The real detoxing comes from drinking enough water, eating fibers ( fruits and vegetables), reducing ultra-processed foods and letting your liver and kidney do their job.

Perfect health is not in a teabag!

[BEYOND HUNGER @BeyondHungerEd]

And overtime, relying on these teas can do more harm than good.
They leave you dehydrated, uncomfortable and in some cases dependent on them.
