5 Easy Steps to Lose Weight Without Exercise

Image
     Image courtesy: Unsplash   A sedentary lifestyle is one of the major causes of obesity. Being obese or overweight puts you at a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, kidney disease, and even blindness. But apart from physical exercise, there are other simpler steps you can take to lose weight. Here are the 5 easy steps to lose weight without exercise: Slow Down and Munch Your Food Properly When you chew your food properly it makes you eat more slowly. A 2020 article on Healthline stated according to a study that chewing your food up to 32 times leads to eating less portions, decreased consumption and increased fullness. That fullness sends a signal to your brain that you have had enough and therefore can stop eating. However, when you eat faster there isn’t enough time for the brain to process whether you’re full or not. You’re therefore likely to eat more portions. Eat a Lot of Protein-Rich Foods Proteins ...

4 Reasons You Can't Spend the Money in Your Account!

Image
     Image: courtesy of Pexels What would you do if you had KSh1 million credited into your bank account erroneously? Well, most people would just withdraw that money and spend it! A woman in the UK recently received an erroneous credit of £90,000 (Ksh13 million) into her account instead of £9!  What did she do? She smiled and thanked the heavens for a windfall and then promptly withdrew £57,722 (Ksh8.3 million) transferring the money to different accounts. This case is not peculiar to the UK alone. A Kenyan man was also recently arraigned in court for spending Ksh800,000 to build a house, money that had been erroneously credited into his account.  Erroneous credits are quite a common occurrence in the banking industry all over the world from an operations standpoint! Most of the time it’s due to the pressure involved in the back office, payment deadlines, fatigue due to minimal breaks given to staff, human error, not to mention preferentia...

Numbers Don’t Lie But Politicians Do!

Image
     Image: courtesy   What am about to share with you hear is not only shocking but utterly serious! It is the kind of thing that brought Zimbabwe’s economy to its knees literally! Therefore, let me get right to it. For many months now, we’ve been treated to a lot of pandemonium by the political class about things that don’t really matter. Basically hot air! The sad part though is that we’re buying into that lie! This hullabaloo about 2022 elections, referendum, BBI, and many other noisy cymbals are things we must reject!   Amidst the noise, the economy of our country Kenya is at the brink of collapse due to constant plunder and unsustainable public debt! Your ordinary politician will not dare talk about what’s important and has since withdrawn from his/ her previous vigour to fight for your welfare. His only concern is his family. This is clearly seen in the implication of public officers and their families in the plunder of public resources! ...

Waiting on The Master: 5 Lessons from the Fig Tree.

Image
Image courtesy of Pixabay The age-old question of when Jesus is coming has come back to the fore once again due to the anxieties of the global pandemic of COVID-19! I am sure it’s not because Christians are ready to go to Heaven, neither is it because non-believers are waiting to repent. It is merely a case of human curiosity of wanting to have definite information. But that question remains a mystery even in the scriptures. Matthew 24:36 records, “ But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.” And maybe it’s because it’s not that important! Therefore, allow me for a second to digress and move away from the question of when and delve into the more important issue of how to wait on the Master. I think that’s a more objective agenda. Why is it important you ask? The story is told of the wise and foolish virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Unfortunately, the groom delayed and their lamps went out ...

Retail Chains: A Tale of Fallen Giants

Image
      Images: Courtesy Tuskys Supermarket is grudgingly but surely joining the list of fallen giants in the Kenyan retail space. Like a Siamese twin, it is quickly following in the steps of the fallen giant, Nakumatt! The script is familiar! It all starts with empty shelves, delayed salaries for workers, complaints from suppliers over unpaid debts, and soon we hear of a bailout deal in the offing which never materializes. But Tuskys is not the first supermarket chain to go down this road of insolvency. Previously Ukwala and Nakummat have faced the same fate. Even foreign entrants like Choppies from Botswana who bought into the unsuccessful Ukwala have been unable to keep their head above the water. So what is the problem? Is it the Kenyan business environment or is it a question of mismanagement? First and foremost, most of the now insolvent supermarket chains were family businesses that were set up and run as dynasties. Which is a good idea because a man ...
