FFC FEATURE: DITCH THE GYM WORKOUT DVD

Are you too busy to attend the gym? or Are you trying to lose the holiday weight? or Do you prefer to workout in the privacy of your home? "Ditch the Gym" may just be your answer. I did the workouts a few weeks ago and I worked up a good sweat. It is great if you are a beginner and also challenging enough for the more advanced exerciser. I am particularly happy with this DVD as it is by a Nigerian, Seyi Olusore. Seyi is the brain behind Nigeria's first weight loss reality TV show "The Fastest Shedder". His 50 minutes home workout DVD "Ditch the Gym" features simple and effective routines to work your entire body. It is a complete workout programe, focusing on all components of fitness from cardio, to strength and flexibility training. The DVD is available nationwide for N1,500 on Jumia and at So Fresh Market Nigeria on No 92 Awolowo road Ikoyi, Lagos

NUTRITIONAL/HEALTH BENEFITS OF PLANTAINS

P lantains are widely eaten in West Africa. Plantains are similar to bananas but larger in size. While bananas are termed fruits, plantains are vegetables. Bananas are mostly eating raw, while plantains are usually cooked before consumption. Plantains can be eaten unripe, ripen or over-ripe. When unripe, plantains are usually green in colour, when ripen, they turn yellow. In Nigeria, for example, unripe plantains are usually used to cook plantain porridge, ripe plantains are mostly fried and used as a supplement to main dishes like rice and beans. Over-ripe plantains are used to make snacks like plantain fritters.

NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS OF ZOBO/SORREL DRINK

z obo/sorrel was a must have during family gatherings. As children, we loved drinking it, not only because of how nice it tasted, but also because it coloured our lips and tongues red. Zobo (Nigerian) or Sorrel (Jamaican) is a red coloured drink made from a flower called Hibiscus sabdariffa. The sorrel plant contains a wide range of vitamins and minerals including vitamin C, calcium, niacin, riboflavin and a group of compounds called flavonoids. Flavanoids not only gives the sorrel plant its deep red colour, but, are also rich in antioxidants which rids the body of toxins. The sorrel plant also contains nutraceleuticals, which are said to be helpful to the health. Nutraceleuticals can help prevent and treat several diseases including diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and cancer.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF LIME AND HONEY

L ime and Honey are two must haves in my house. I use honey as a substitute for white sugar. I remember a friend of mine visited me once and she wanted to drink garri (drinking garri is local to Nigerians, i.e. eating dried cassava with cold water as opposed to hot water), she was astonished when I told her to use honey to sweeten her garri. I'm not a tea person, but my parents are, and a cup of tea for them is not complete without limes.
