Jujube
Jujube may sound like a funny name for a fruit, but don’t let the name fool you…this is a very powerful food that packs a healthy punch for the millions of people who know its true value. Although it has common names like red date and Korean date, the scientific classification of jujubes is Ziziphus jujuba. A jujube is typically a small shrub or tree with small yellowish-green petals and drupe fruits that are about the size of a date and range from brown to purplish-black. Jujube fruits are native to southern Asia, including southern and central China. However, it has been introduced to the rest of the world, primarily Europe, and is available in many exotic fruit import stores.

The most amazing thing about the jujube fruit is that is has more than 10,000 years of history, and in that history, over 400 different cultivars have been formed. In terms of culinary use, jujube fruit are eaten as dried candies or fresh, and is also occasionally made into juice. In some countries, the pits are removed and the flesh is pounded with sugar and other fruits into a cake that can dry in the sun. Regardless of how you eat jujubes, the powerful antioxidants and organic compounds found in this impressive fruit will grant you a wide range of healthy effects. Now, let’s take a more in-depth look at the many health benefits of jujubes.

Health Benefits Of Jujube
Sleep Aid: For people suffering from insomnia or restlessness, consuming the seeds of the extract of the jujube fruit can be a good remedy. The soothing nature of the organic compounds contained in this beneficial fruit can calm the body and mind, so if you find yourself unable to sleep at night, then perhaps a small jujube decoction is exactly what you need.

Circulation Issues: The jujube fruit is a rich source of both iron and phosphorous, key ingredients in red blood cells. If you suffer from low iron content in your blood or anemia, you may experience symptoms like muscle weakness, fatigue, indigestion, lightheadedness, and cognitive confusion. By increasing your iron and phosphorous content with jujube fruit, you can increase blood flow, thereby oxygenating your organ systems and extremities more effectively, giving you an energy boost!

Bone Strength: One of the best ways to strengthen your bones is to make sure that your mineral intake is optimal. By increasing minerals like calcium, phosphorous, and iron (all of which are prevalent in jujubes), you can ensure that your bones will remain hardy and strong for years to come. As we age, we tend to suffer from osteoporosis and other bone degradation conditions, so adding jujube fruit to your diet can slow or reverse this trend.

Weight Control: Eating fruits and vegetables is a common suggestion for people attempting to lose weight, and jujube is another that can easily be added to that list. With a low calorie count and a high protein and fiber level, jujube can satisfy your nutritional needs and fill you up, which will prevent you from snacking in between meals. This will help you maintain your diet or prevent any additional weight gain.

Immune System: Jujube is able to benefit the immune system in many different ways, namely due to its high antioxidant content, including vitamin C, vitamin A, and various organic compounds and acids. Antioxidants are able to neutralize free radicals, the dangerous byproducts of cellular respiration, which are responsible for many chronic diseases and illness within the body. Vitamin C also stimulates the production of white blood cells, the first line of defense of our immune system.

Stress and Anxiety: Jujube has been proven to have certain anxiolytic and soothing effects on the body. By using the jujube oil extract or consuming the fruits themselves can have an impact on your hormonal levels and induce a calm, relaxed sensation throughout your body and mind. For people who regularly suffer from chronic stress or anxiety, snacking on some dried jujubes or seeking a jujube supplement can help ease the mind and protect the body from the serious side effects of extended exposure to stress hormones.

Cancer Treatment: Although the exact mechanisms and specific relationships between jujubes and cancer are still being researched, early results point to a positive correlation between the bioactive compounds in jujube and a reduction in free radical activity and the spread of cancerous cells. The antioxidants in jujubes make this a very effective preventative method for cancer as well as other chronic conditions, including heart disease.

Skin Health: One of the other effects of antioxidants is on the skin. Jujube juice and extract have been used topically to treat various irritations and inflammations on the skin, including and psoriasis, eczema, acne. Furthermore, you can consume the jujube fruit to get many of the same effects. It can also help to prevent the appearance of wrinkles and scars, as well as keeping the skin tight and energized with oxygenated blood.

Digestion: Jujube fruits are also linked to improving digestive processes within the body. This is mainly attributed to its fiber content, but the saponins and triterpenoids also play a part in this by optimizing the uptake of nutrients and promote healthy movement of food through the bowels. This can help prevent constipation, cramping, bloating, and excess flatulence, as well as more serious gastrointestinal conditions, like colorectal cancer.

Blood Detoxification: The saponins and alkaloids found in jujube fruit has been directly linked with purifying the blood and eliminating harmful toxins from the body’s systems. This antioxidant effect can help prevent a large number of disorders and diseases, and also ease the stress on the immune and lymphatic system.

A Final Word of Warning: Jujubes can be dangerous for those suffering diabetes, as it contains a number of complex carbohydrates and it can negatively affect blood sugar levels. Otherwise, jujubes show very few side effects, except in those with a natural allergy to the fruit. Before making a major change to your fruit or supplement intake, consult a medical professional to make sure it’s a good choice for you.

FAMILY PO*******HY DESTROYS KIDS
"MY MUM DRESSES UP BEFORE ME"!
I counselled a young guy who was addicted to pronography He told me he can't do without it. One thing that struck me in his confession was when he said, 'my mum caused all this for me'.
Curiosity got hold of me & I asked him, how?
He said, my mum has always been dressing up before me, I am used to seeing her. Since I was 4 I always long to see mature ladies just the way I always see my mum dressing up before me.
I still remember seeing her regularly till I was 8 years & my dad do shout on her, 'send this boy out before you dress',
but my mum would always reply by saying, 'Stop planting evil thought in his heart'.
I then went into s*x at age 10 and till now to heavy po*******hy
Dear parents, I hope you are not guilty of this?
You are dressing up before your 2 years son/daughter & you say he/she doesn't know anything yet?
Thats very cruel.
Sir/ma, that your child does not need to understand.
Seeing your nakedness or seeing you and your spouse making love is enough to plant abnormal s*xual fantasies and urge in that child.
The scene sticks to the memory& they may want to explore & experiment what they are seeing.
How will you destroy your own children with your own carelessness?
Remember, it is a jet world!
Mummy, sit properly.
Dress properly too.
Be careful!
Daddy, don't wear ordinary boxer at home!
Don't say because you want to enjoy your freedom in your house. Its not your house alone, its a family house/home.
You are putting your children into s*xual bo***ge through these acts.
Yes, they won't lust after you but you might be messing up and increasing their curiosity to see ladies out there.

Let's stop being 'p**nographic materials' to our children.
Raising s*xually pure children, it begins at home'
My Counsel
Thank you very much for the issues raised in family p**n. It is still our responsibility to build virtue into our family. We need to learn from others.
Still on building virtuous homes. Look at this:
HABITS THAT SHOW IMPROPER UPBRINGING IN CHILDREN
Please, carefully look into the list below to see where you may want to make amends on yourself or the young ones you are caring for.
Children, if not properly groomed may never get to the top in life, even if the parents are at the top of their career.
Manners take you to where your education can't irrespective of your status, money or the "who you know" factor. This is not meant to hurt anyone or pinpoint on someone for their upbringing. Its a general message targeted to all the parents of today.
1) Going to your child's school dressed indecently? Think again.
2) Speaking rashly to your child's teacher.
3) Cursing, using foul words or swearing in front of your children.
4) Using makeup on children.
5) Dressing with tight clothes and indecently for children (they loose the sense of their princesshood and may not listen to u in future)
7) Your child hold the cup or glassware by the brim and you don't correct.
8) Your children don't greet and you just feel they will come around one day because they have a mood swing. ( You will be blamed for it)
9) Your children eat with their mouth opened and you feel they will grow up some day.
10) Your children bring home something you did not buy for them and you say nothing. ( that is the beginning of stealing)
11) They talk back at you and you conclude it's okay since you are a 21st century mummy. ( You will hate yourself if they do that outside and they are disciplined )
12) They interrupt when you are speaking with another adult and you think they are bold and clever. (Its really bad manners)
13) They exercise authority over their nanny and domestic staff and you let them be. ( that is bad parenting)
14) They say things like "my driver is on his way..."
I am not an advocate that children should call your domestic staff aunty or brother, calling them by name when they are not young people is not poise either. The use of Miss, Mr or Mrs will look good on them.
15) Your children don't say- 'Thank you' when they have been helped or served something and you are cool with that. (Bad parenting)
16) When your children cannot stand children who are less privileged.
18) When they pick their nose with their hands.
19) When they don't wash their hands after visiting the washroom.
20) When your children take something from the fridge without taking permission. (Bad parenting)
21) When your children don't knock on closed doors.
22) When your children don't collect from your hands the stuff you brought in as you walk in through the door.
23) When your children request for a bribe to carry out their home chores or extra task. (That is disgraceful )
24) When your children act like their grand parents irritate them.
25) When your children have not learnt to get up from the chair for the elderly or visitors to sit.
26) When your child tells a lot of lies. (You will both cry in the future)
27) When your child asks "who is that?" at a knock on your door instead of "please, who is there."
28) When your child is always seated by your visitors when being served drinks etc.
29) When your children still point their fingers at other people.
30) When your children play and jump around when prayers are going on.(age 4 above).
Dont be a 21st Century parent who cannot correct a child. Train your child in then way of the Lord so that when he grows up he will not depart frm it.
IT IS BETTER TO LET YOUR CHILDREN CRY AT AN EARLY AGE WHEN YOU CORRECT THEM, IF NOT YOU WILL BOTH CRY AT NIGHT WHEN THEY BRING DISGRACE TO THE FAMILY WITH BAD AND TERRIBLE BEHAVIOURS!
