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.

9 PROVEN WAYS TO SAVE MONEY DURING COVID-19

Image
Image courtesy of pexels.com Even Paul Volcker, the late American economist and former Chairman of the Federal Reserve, agreed that , "The only thing useful banks have invented in 20 years is the ATM" Doesn’t it just feel good walking to the ATM, slide in your card and voila, money comes running out! It gives you that feeling of confidence, security, abundance and what else? Indeed, money makes the world go round! But one of the qualities of money is its limited supply. It’s always moving. Now you have it, the next minute it’s gone! The other reality is that, for you to withdraw you must have deposited or saved some money! Otherwise you’d have to borrow from the bank and that can be costly! What you save you can always access interest-free while borrowing attracts interest and puts you in more debt in the long run.

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.

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 preferential treatment for priority
