NERVOUSNESS










Nervousness occurs when the nervous system reacts disproportionately to what would be considered a normal stimulus and puts the person in the state of apprehension, anxiety, worry and hesitancy. 

It affects how we feel, behave and can cause physical symptoms including sweating without physical exertion. Nervousness by itself may not be considered a serious problem until it becomes overwhelming, never seems to go away, impacts personal life and/or is accompanied by severe physical symptoms.

Often times, stress is the cause of nervousness. However, alcohol, tobacco, coffee, energy drinks and other stimulant beverages also cause nervousness and imbalance in the nervous system. In order to prevent or deal with nervousness, it is important avoid alcohol, tobacco, white sugar, energy drinks and other stimulant beverages and consume foods such as oats, avocado, cashew, apricot, lettuce and passion fruits.

 In addition to these, other healthy habits like exercise, having enough sleep, and eating breakfast can prevent nervousness.

Ebony is not in Heaven!!!

The issue of death continues to be a mystery to many. Many people throughout world history have tried to explain this mystery but none has been able to answer all the questions associated with it. Science has not been able to explain, neither has philosophy been able to tell exactly what happens to a person when he dies.  The only book that contains all the answers related to death is the  Holy Bible.  The purpose of this message is to bring our minds back to the word of God and to reiterate the clear position of the Bible concerning the state of the dead. In Ghana and like other countries, the issue of death becomes a topic for discussion anytime a popular person dies. In such situations, we often hear lay people and even prominent Pastors make statements about the dead which are not Biblical. These statements go contrary to the explicit position of the Bible (The inspired word of God). The death of Ebony (a Ghanaian dance hall musician) who died in a motor accid...

Cholesterol, Good and/or Bad

Image
One Saturday after church a friend said to me, "is it good to have high levels of good cholesterol? If it is good as you - medical people say, why should there be a limit?". Like my good friend, there may be other people who are yearning for answers to these questions and more. However, cholesterol is one of the most misunderstood topics in health. In this reflection series, I will talk about cholesterol; where we get it from, how good or how bad it is, how to keep it under control and possibly how to prevent complications that come with it. Cholesterol; what is it? Cholesterol is a waxy type of fat which is found in the blood and moves throughout the body. Since fats do not dissolve in water, cholesterol does not dissolve in the blood which is water-based, and for that matter it floats in the blood as it moves in the blood vessels. This explains why it can be found everywhere in the body. Cholesterol; where do we get it from? It is important to know that the body produces ...

THE DAY IS DIFFERENT

Image
The issue of the sabbath has become a topic for national discussion in Ghana after the West African Examination Council (WAEC) released the time table for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for 2020. Unlike the years past, WAEC for the first time scheduled some of the WASSCE papers on Saturdays. This action by WAEC has resurrected the old age debate of the sabbath in homes, churches, schools, social media, main stream media etc. Whilst sabbath keepers are very worried and vocal about this action, a lot more people are indifferent. They don’t seem to understand why there should be a controversy over a day when all the days are same ie. 24 hours. This article seeks to answer the questions below from a Biblical perspective. All references will be solely from the Bible (Both old and New Testaments)      1. Are all the days of the week the same?      2. What makes one day (sabbath) different from all the other days of the week? ...
