Depression:A Network Of People Around You Is Important- Rio Ferdinard

                                      

Former England footballer and ex-Manchester United defender revealed that he turned to alcohol following the death of his wife Rebecca in March 2015, after experiencing guilt that she died and not him.

The 38-year-old single father of three told BBC that he started drinking in the middle of the night to get through the grief of losing her to breast cancer.

'At the beginning I was drinking a lot at night time. We have a lady lucky enough who lives with us, she would go to bed and I'd come back down in the middle of the night and probably drink a lot for the first three or four months. But I would get up and do the school run and stuff.'

Nigerians Should Expect Above Danger Heat Stress- NIMET

                                         

The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has predicted that many  Nigerians would likely experience “above danger heat stress’’ this year due to combination of heat and humidity.

NiMet, in its 2017 Seasonal Rainfall Prediction, said that heat for too long could cause heat stress which may in turn lead to several illness collectively called ‘’hyperthermia’’.

The agency warned that older people could have a tough time dealing with heat and humidity, as most people who dies from hyperthermia globally each year were over 50.

NiMet highlighted some of the heat related complications to include heat syncope, heat cramps, heat edema, heat exhaustion and heat stroke, adding that Nigerians were no exception.

Eat Ginger! It Helps

                 

         
Ginger is the rare traditional remedy that gets genuine respect from medical doctors and natural healers alike. It's been known for thousands of years as a kind of jack-of-all-trades super herb, and its reputation has endured. But it's probably best known for its antiemetic effect — that is, its impact on nausea and vomiting.
Also for its anti inflammatory effect.

Ginger has been the subject of much medical research in recent years, most of which confirms its benefits for a wide range of ailments, and they're not all digestive. It's been shown to have positive effects on arthritis, immunity, colic, heart problems and the common cold, to name a few.  The lion's share of the research has been about ginger and the digestive system. It's been shown to work as a carminative (flatulence inhibitor) and intestinal spasmolytic (digestive-tract soother). It also can help with nausea brought on by motion.

See The Press Release From NBC Concerning The Issue Of Benzoic Acid In Fanta And Sprite

                                       

Our attention has been drawn to media reports, which contain misleading information on the safety of benzoic and ascorbic acids as ingredients in soft drinks, citing a Lagos High Court order.

In the judgement delivered on February 15, 2017 in a suit involving FijabiAdebo Holdings Limited & Dr. Emmanuel FijabiAdebo v. Nigerian Bottling Company Limited (NBC) & National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), the Lagos High Court dismissed all claims against NBC and held that the company had not breached its duty of care to consumers and that there was no proven case of negligence against it. 

In the same judgement, the court directed NAFDAC to mandate NBC to include a warning on its bottles of Fanta and Sprite that its contents cannot be taken with Vitamin C as same become poisonous if taken with Vitamin C. This order was premised on the fact that the products contain the preservative, benzoic acid. NBC has since appealed this order.

Whilst we do not wish to delve into the details of the case or the merits of the court order by this medium, we find it imperative in the interest of consumers and members of the public to make the following clarifications:
