Calorie Balance (Calories in calories out)

We know we eat to get energy and it's measured in Calories. Just a quick reminder of elementary science. When one eats, food is being digested to glucose, amino-acid etc But glucose give the better energy and it is got from carbohydrate. Through respiration, the broken down compound (glucose) is converted into energy. Excess glucose is store in the liver or body muscles as glycogen to be used later. Here we try to examine the food one eat and energy it produces. If this energy is not consumed (or burnt out), it adds up to the body fat.

These are food we consume and the amount of energy it produces to the body. if we don't burn out most of the energy, it could be a little harmful to our body because of obesity. We burn out energy every time as long as we live. Most of the process in our body and organs uses energy. But we burn out excess calories if we do more strenuous activities. Simple activities like choosing to take the stairs rather than the lift, walking to  riding on a bike to distance less than 5 miles. one could intensify it by religiously doing workout (e.g. register in the gym).

But if I were you, I'll like to cut down on my appetite by using Garcinia Cambogia. It helps control the impulse that sends the urge to eat. It takes 3,500 calories to produce 1 pound (0.45kg) of fat. You would need 3,500 calories more than you take in to lose 1 pound. So, in general, if you cut 500 calories from your typical diet each day, you'd lose about 1 pound a week (500 calories x 7 days = 3,500 calories). Garcinia Cambogia don't just limit the impulse to eat, it also restrict the enzymes producing fat to the body. What every approach you use to cut down on the fat, using a TCM supplement is of great advantage. As you workout or limit your diet, your journey towards a calorie balance would be made easier and fast with TCM supplement.

Ear Barotrauma (Airplane ears).

The ear is divided into three parts: the outer part, middle and the inner part. The pressure between the out and the inner ears must be balance to cause inconveniences. Ear Barotrauma is a disturbance experience especially when one boards the airplane. It might not be that common but to a certain percentage, it disturbs the ear drum. It occur when there is a change in pressure when one is in the air or water.

TCM Nigeria

TCM Nigeria according to this blog simply means traditional Chinese medicine, practiced in Nigeria. Unlike other websites which focus on cables and cable connectors like RJ45, RJ11 cable connectors. These are connectors that help computers and telephones communicate. The RJ45 connector can be crimped in two ways, we have the straight through crimping which allow computer network devices to communicate along a network and a crossover cable crimp which only allows two computers to communicate with one another. Networking is a big feed of ICT and tcmnigeria.net have tons of details on it. But this website focuses on traditional or alternative Nigerian practice to getting well and preventing illness. We explore  Phytotherapy  and the way it is administered in Nigeria for healthier living.

The Mental Health Consequences of the Baltasar Engonga Scandal: A Deeper Look at the 400 Victims and Their Fallout

Introduction The scandal involving Baltasar Engonga, the Director General of the National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF) in Equatorial Guinea, has set off a chain reaction of discussions, not just about the abuse of power, but also about the profound mental health consequences for those involved. Engonga allegedly recorded over 400 sextapes of married women, many of whom are prominent figures in the country, and the tapes were reportedly exposed online. Given the scale of the scandal, the psychological toll on the victims—many of whom are high-profile individuals—will likely be immense, affecting their personal, familial, and professional lives in ways that extend far beyond the immediate crisis. The Scope of the Scandal: 400 Victims and the Public Exposure Engonga’s actions, which allegedly involved non-consensual recordings, have created a situation where the victims—primarily women married to prominent men in Equatorial Guinea—face the public exposure of their most intimate m...
