Foods You Must Not Ignore


There are some foods so healthy but  may have become underrated gems in your diet. These foods are  familiar, widely available, affordable, nutrient-rich and taste great.

1. Beans and Lentils
Beans and lentils really are nutrition superstars – rich in protein, fibre, complex carbohydrates, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. Sadly, healthy foods like beans and lentils are often overlooked. Yet they are versatile and easy on the pocket. A diet rich in these legumes can help promote weight loss, lower low-density cholesterol and raise  high-density cholesterol.

2. Watermelon
I’m yet to come across any reason to dislike watermelon – a beautiful fruit in so many ways, but because it is so naturally sweet, some people avoid it thinking it’s high in sugar. Truth is that watermelon is fun to eat, sweet, juicy, low in calories, and  full of vitamins C and A, potassium, and lycopene. It is high in water, it helps meet fluid needs.

3. Sweet Potatoes
If you think sweet potatoes are as high in calories and carbohydrates because they are so naturally sweet, you are so wrong. Sweet potatoes are nutritional all-stars and one of the best vegetables you can eat. Not only are they a fantastic source of beta carotene, vitamin C, fibre, and potassium, they are so versatile they can be enjoyed with very few extra calories or embellishment.

4. Tomato Juice
Everyone thinks fresh is best but juiced  tomato that has been parboiled, helps release disease-fighting lycopene so it is better absorbed. A diet rich in tomatoes may help prevent prostate cancer and other types of cancer.

5. Red Cabbage
An outstanding source of fibre, vitamins A, D, and K, folate and  trace minerals, yet with only 22 calories in one cupful. Rich in antioxidants, this cruciferous vegetable boosts cancer-fighting enzymes. You can eat it raw, cooked, sweet, stand-alone or added to almost anything from soups to salads. Superb!

Snoop Lion Excommunicated From The Rastafari Community

Snoop Lion excommunicated from the Rastafari Community, according to Bunny Wailer! Bunny has always had his doubts about  Snoop Lion ‘s intent and now his skepticism has taken an even stronger stance, that of excommunication. The news was broken via his  Facebook  profile and via  press release . Recently Snoop Lion has struggled to convince the Rastafari and Reggae community that he is sincere about his profession of, and transition to the faith, principles and beliefs of Rastafari. Most doubtful is Bunny Wailer the only living member of the original Wailer. ‘ Excommunication is a religious censure used to deprive, suspend, or limit membership in a religious community or to restrict certain rights within it. Some groups use the term disfellowship instead, ‘ stated Bunny’s official release. With that said, this would surely deprive Snoop Lion from direct contact to some elders within the Rastafarian community also, access to vital information and place of worship. Let us see
