- No be every swallow be your friend
We sabi say you love pounded yam, eba, starch and all the swallows of life. But at this age, your belle dey beg you: “Uncle, reduce volume na!” Try switch things up. Small portion of semo or even oat swallow fit still hold body without weighing you down like cement.
Pro Tip: Swallow no go run, but your sugar level fit jump fence if you no calm down.
- Plenty veggies, no dey form
Salad no be punishment. Add ugu, carrots, cucumber—even bitterleaf if you brave. Your body go thank you. Plus, e help make things move well-well for toilet-side (you sabi wetin I mean).
Abeg: No pour five litres of salad cream. That one don turn soup.
- Go slow on red meat—na no be beef
That goat meat and nkwobi wey you dey eye? Take am small-small. Na your heart we dey protect here o. Try fish, chicken (remove skin), or beans—plenty ways dey to still enjoy life without needing a cholesterol test every week.
- Water no be enemy
Soda and zobo with five cups of sugar? Omo, shift! Water dey do silent miracle. Your joints dey smile when you hydrate. Plus, skin go glow like say you dey use foreign cream.
If you no too like plain water, try warm water with lemon. E go shock you how your body go reset.
- Fruit is bae (but no over-love am)
Yes, mango sweet. Yes, banana na blessing. But too much of anything dey do like bad belle friend. One or two servings per day na okay. And abeg, no use fruit take do buffet.
