Raw vegetables are considered more nutritious as compared to cooked vegetables. Same goes with raw honey. Most of us believe honey which is available in local shops is raw in itself but this is not true. Raw honey is non-heated, unpasteurised and unprocessed.

Healthy beans are so outstanding that only green vegetables come close as a valuable food source. Beans are so loaded with nutrition and taste that we ’ ve listed nine reasons below to devour huge quantities of beans – beginning today . Beans & Protein Thanks to a relentless campaign from food industries , we have a highly exaggerated idea of the amount of protein that is needed by our bodies .

So let's dwell more on dis extensive and intensive snail talk to include d semi intensive and its challenges, peculiarities and comparative advantage. I tink i should take d time to say that d word  intensive means enclosed confinement and extensive means exposed confinement wt alot more freedom to create more of a natural atmosphere feel for livestock as in free range while semi intensive is a combination of both.

7 Amazing Things You may never know about snails and Major Constraint to efficient snail production    1.

This is one of the SADDEST stories ever told in Hollywood. His name is Sylvestar Stallone. One of the BIGGEST and most famous American movie superstars.

Why The Nigerian Contemporary Music & the Entertainment Industry Is A Scam

I am putting this question out to alot of key players in the Nigerian music and entertainment industries, what is  and the standards parameter available to music in the Nigerian market??? believe it or not, The Nigeria music industry is already phasing out.
