The promise of Ramadan

  The promise of Ramadan BY VICTORIA NGOZI IKEANO Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic Lunar calendar is referred to as the ‘holy month’ understandably because in this month, the faithful think more, are expected to think more of  God while attending to earthly affairs of feeding, entertainment and the like for some hours after sunset; the remaining few hours in the 24 hour cycle is spent sleeping. And when we are asleep, our thinking faculty simultaneously departs us. We are unable to think or better said, our frontal brain is silenced when we are in deep sleep. We are unable to sin when we are fast asleep. Thus, at Ramadan, the faithful engage in fasting – refraining from food, drink and intercourse during the daytime, endeavour to delve into the teachings of the Prophet(peace be upon him) to better understand and imbibe them in truth, engage in charity and prayers, individually and jointly with others. In brief we endeavour to be pious at this period This year’s Ramadan ...

RESEARCH ON AUTOPHAGY FETCHED YOSHINORI OHSUMI A NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSIOLOGY OR MEDICINE

  RESEARCH ON AUTOPHAGY FETCHED YOSHINORI OHSUMI  A NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSIOLOGY OR MEDICINE The concept of autophagy is to make the body hungry.  When a person's body is hungry, then the cells of his body are also hungry. These hungry cells will eat their own cells that are no longer useful or cells that have been damaged or dead cells, so as not to become garbage in the body; thus these dead cells will not produce anything that can harm the body. The importance of this process is that the body of a fasting person usually cleanse itself. This scientist named Yoshinori Ohsumi has proven and found that when a person is hungry (fasting) in a period of not less than eight (8) hours and not more than sixteen (16), then the body will form a Special protein throughout the body called autophagisome. The autophagisome can be analogized as a giant broom that collects useless dead cells that can harm the body and thereby remove them. These dead cells are mostly produced by cancer ce...
