With good food habits and daily physical activity you will be well on your way to a healthy life.  Easy to say, but sometimes not so easy to do! Our busy lifestyles can be hard on our family’s health. Rushing to and from school and work can make it hard to find time to be physically active. We can also slip into the habit of choosing unhealthy snacks and take-away foods or spending our free time watching TV or in front of the computer. However, these choices can be dangerous for our health and our children’s health – both now…

How dramatically we can change our results is largely a function of imagination. In 1960, it was a technological impossibility for man to travel into outer space. However, within 10 years, the first man stepped out onto the surface of the moon. The miraculous process of converting that dream into reality began when one voice challenged the scientific community to do whatever was necessary to see to it that America “places a man on the moon by the end of this decade.” That challenge awakened the spirit of a nation by planting the seed of possible future achievement into the fertile soil…

It’s important that we understand that the concepts of “difficult marriage” and “good marriage” can be compatible. The truth is the best relationships involve challenge because challenge is typically a prerequisite for experiencing the best. If your marriage does not involve challenge (and even conflict) then you are, in all likelihood, barely scraping the surface of what is possible in terms of a life-charged relationship. So if you are experiencing a difficult marriage hang in there. Life is always a work in progress and so are the best marriages. As you work out your commitment to create a better marriage,…

“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.” – Serenity Prayer, attributed to Reinhold Niebuhr Stress is at the root of many health issues in America. Heart disease, depression, and hypertension are just a few of the many stress-related maladies. Physical health isn’t the only casualty of a stressful lifestyle. In marriages, stress is a leading cause of interpersonal tension and dysfunctional relationships. There is good news. A lot of the stress in marriage is avoidable when both parties are aware of stressful triggers. Here…

Bishop of Catholic Dioceses of Yola, Most Rev Stephen Mamza, bares his mind on the role of religious leaders in politics and the upcoming elections, among other issues, in this interview with HINDI LIVINUS As the general elections approach, some religious leaders are being accused of playing partisan politics. What are your thoughts on this? The problem we have is that some of our clerics are hungry religious leaders, those not there for the service of God but because of their pockets. If not, why should a religious leader allow politicians to control him. The cleric is supposed to be the…

Pope Francis will meet young student priests on Saturday on the fourth day of his visit to Panama for World Youth Day celebrations, a day after the clergy sex abuse scandal haunting his papacy returned to the spotlight. The 82-year-old Argentine pontiff will begin the penultimate day of his visit to Panama by celebrating mass in the centuries-old colonial Cathedral Basilica of Santa Maria la Antigua, Panama’s patron saint. He will then visit the country’s major seminary of San Jose, and address the ever present problem of dwindling recruitment to the priesthood. Around the globe, there were 414,969 Catholic priests…

Japan’s Naomi Osaka battled past Czech eighth seed Petra Kvitova 7-6 (7/2), 5-7, 6-4 to win her first Australian Open crown Saturday and become the new world number one. The fourth seed and US Open champion made it two Grand Slam titles in a row after a see-sawing 2hr 27min match. The hard-fought victory made Osaka the first Asian, male or female, to hold the world’s top ranking, taking over from Romania’s Simona Halep. A rattled Osaka almost blew her title hopes with one hand on the trophy when she failed to convert three championship points when up 5-3 in…

By Chukwuma Muanya We need to introduce mental health education in primary health care. Children and teenagers get depressed too. Parents need to watch their children closely to catch any behavioral changes and moods. Parents should not be quick to write off severe mood swings and irrational behaviour as, “Oh it’s that time of the month.” It could be more. When your child becomes reluctant to socialise and locks herself/himself in the room more and suddenly loses interest in what used to be of interest to her/him, start to ask questions. She battled depression. She won the battle. She chronicled her…

Chelsea assistant coach Gianfranco Zola has sympathised with Eden Hazard’s frustrations, but has said the Belgium winger can still work harder to help the team. The Belgium winger’s form has fluctuated this term, Hazard starting the 2018-19 campaign brilliantly before fading after being asked by Maurizio Sarri to play as a false nine. Hazard was back on the left as Chelsea beat Tottenham on penalties to reach the EFL Cup final on Thursday, the forward scoring the Blues’ second goal in a 2-1 success in the second leg. And while Zola sympathises with Hazard’s frustrations over having to play different positions,…
