Nutritionist, Ashley Jordan Ferira, Ph.D., RDN, shares an interesting link between time-restricted eating (a type of intermittent fasting) and sleep from a recent study she read in the journal Endocrine Reviews. Below, she breaks down the science.
The Link Between Time-Restricted Eating And Sleep.
Here’s the gist: According to Ferira, consuming meals in consistent daily windows of less than 12 hours “is linked to less obesity, better metabolic health, and—guess what!— better sleep.” On the flip side, they found that “eating over a longer window and/or frequently changing that window is linked to exactly the opposite,” she says.
The logic makes sense, as if you have an eating window of more than 12 hours, chances are you’re eating later in the night—and if that meal is super hearty or excessively sweet or spicy, it might mess with your slumber. “Our largest meals should not ever be close to bedtime,” Ferira adds, and plenty of research has associated late dinners or eating more calories late in the evening and short sleep duration (less than five hours). Of course, a growling, empty stomach can keep you up at night as well, so you do want to listen to your natural body cues if you are hungry at night—just opt for one of these foods that keep blood sugar levels steady and provide relaxing benefits.
But let’s circle back to that 12 hours or less eating window: We know that there are many alterations to intermittent fasting, and some plans are more flexibility than others. The study Ferira mentions isn’t so strict about the exact schedule so long as it’s less than 12 hours of eating. No matter the specific plan you follow, try to make sure it’s consistent every day—as the study notes, frequently changing the window of eating can have the opposite effect on sleep and overall health. You shouldn’t stay married to a plan that is unhelpful or unhealthy for you, but once you find one that works, do your best to stay consistent.
Takeaway
Time-restricted eating comes with a number of health benefits, and you can add better sleep to that list, as long as your window is less than 12 hours and you keep up with it daily. Eat in a sleep-smart way throughout the day (with high-quality sources of protein and magnesium-rich plants) and you should be golden.
Many people believe that you have to spend lots of money to eat healthy. However, that doesn’t have to be the case.
On the contrary, the cost of not-so-healthy fast food, convenience meals, and snacks can stack up pretty quickly and become very expensive over time.
In my personal experience, I’ve also found that eating healthy can actually save money in the long run, especially if you stick to a few key principles when shopping for, selecting, and preparing your food.
Here are few simple tips that can help you save money while eating healthy.
Stick To Seasonal Produce
Seasonal fruits and vegetables are often fresher, more flavorful, and more affordable than foods that are produced out of season.
This is because these seasonal ingredients are harvested at peak ripeness and not transported nearly as far, minimizing the amount of time it takes to travel from the farm to your grocery store shelf.
There are plenty of online guides that detail which fruits and vegetables are in season near you. You can also get a good idea of which foods are in season by visiting your local farmers market to check out what’s available.
Buy Generic
Many grocery stores offer products in both generic and name-brand varieties.
Opting for generic brands instead of name brands is a simple way to save money without compromising on quality.
Generic brand foods are usually comparable to name-brand versions in terms of safety, quality, and nutritional value.
However, it’s always a good idea to compare the list of ingredients and nutrition labels on your favorite branded products with those of generic versions before you purchase them.
Practice Meal Planning
Planning out your meals in advance is a smart way to save both time and money.
Try creating a weekly meal plan, drafting a shopping list, and setting aside a specific time to prep your meals for the next week.
One of my favorite methods for meal planning is to find a few recipes that use a similar set of ingredients to rotate between during the week.
I like to focus on a few ingredients with a shorter shelf life, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, and switch between various whole grains, legumes, spices, and seasonings for each meal.
This can help streamline your shopping list while also adding plenty of diversity to your diet, as each day you’re enjoying ingredients in new and interesting ways.
Cook At Home
Cooking your own food at home instead of dining at restaurants or purchasing prepackaged meals is one of the easiest and most effective ways to eat healthy on a budget.
In fact, a single meal at a restaurant typically costs much more than purchasing the ingredients you need to prepare your own food at home.
Plus, with additional fees like delivery fees, service charges, and tips, the cost of dining out or ordering takeout can quickly add up.
Preparing your own food also gives you complete control of what you’re putting on your plate. This makes it easier to include more fresh, whole foods in your diet.
It also helps decrease your intake of added sugar, salt, and artificial ingredients.
Eat More Plant-Based Proteins
Plant-based proteins like beans, lentils, chickpeas, tofu, and tempeh are often much cheaper than animal proteins like meat, fish, and poultry.
Plus, these foods are rich in protein, fiber, and a variety of other essential vitamins and minerals. They’re easy to incorporate into recipes like casseroles, soups, salads, and stir-fries.
Keep in mind that eating more plant-based proteins doesn’t mean you need to become a full-fledged vegan or cut out animal products from your diet altogether.
If you eat meat now and want to start eating more plant-based protein, consider swapping plant-based proteins into your diet just a few times per week. This will help you save some money and reduce your consumption of meat.
A flexitarian diet like this encourages eating mostly plant-based but also allows you to eat animal-based foods here and there.
Takeaway
Although many people believe that eating healthy can be expensive, this isn’t necessarily true.
In fact, following a healthy, well-rounded diet can actually save you money in the long run.
Try practicing a few of the tips outlined above, which can make it easier than ever to eat healthy without breaking the bank.
There are have been much talk about the connection between diet and skin complexion. While everyone’s bodies are different, and thus react uniquely to foods or triggers, there’s a growing consensus among skin care experts that improving your gut health will absolutely have beneficial effects on your skin. Additionally, loading up on skin-supporting foods will give your cells the nutrients they need to thrive.
This connection is so important, notes dermatological nurse and celebrity aesthetician Natalie Aguilar, that she encourages her clients to have skin snacks. “I always ask my clients to have three skin snacks a day, preferably berries,” she tells us about brightening skin. “Berries contain antioxidants that can protect your skin from the sun as well as vitamin C that can brighten your skin.”
You may already be folding skin snacks into your diet without realizing it (those egg whites in the morning? Great for collagen production. The olive oil and lemon dressing in your salad? Great for antioxidants and fatty acids.). But if you’re using this time of year to reevaluate your nutrition goals, this can be a useful reminder that gives you a youthful glow in the process.
Here are a few additional snacking ideas:
Kimchi
Fermented foods, like kimchi and kombucha, can help improve your gut microflora. A thriving microflora translates to better skin barrier health.
Green tea is loaded with antioxidants. Research shows that it supports your skin against environmental aggressors—the primary cause of wrinkles.
A cucumber is more than 95% water, so if you have a hard time remembering to drink water throughout the day, try noshing on some cucumber.
We can all benefit from eating more healthy fats—and getting those from avocados gives you other benefits, like over 14 minerals, protein, soluble fiber, phytosterols; polyphenols; carotenoids, and omega-3s.
Pomegranate seeds and pomegranate seed extracts are very useful for environmental aggressors. Take this randomized controlled trial, for instance, which found that pomegranate extract increased skin’s resilience against UVB rays; or this double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, which found that taking pomegranate extract orally could help with common sun-induced pigmentation.*
Ultimately, there are lots of foods out there that can support your skin—whether that be through collagen production, hydration, antioxidant protection, or gut support—and finding a nutrition program that works for you is about listening to your body. Eat up; your complexion will thank you.
Quinoa has gained popularity as a health food in most parts of the world, though people have been cultivating it in South America since ancient times. In fact, hundreds of years ago, the Inca people considered this ancient grain a sacred food.
In the past couple of decades, quinoa popularity has grown exponentially as the demand for easy-to-grow, nutritious, gluten-free grain alternatives has soared.
Not only is quinoa nutrient-dense, but it may offer health benefits,
Packed With Nutrients
Quinoa is a grain crop grown for its edible seeds. These seeds are what we call quinoa — pronounced KEEN-wah.
Although it’s usually lumped in with cereal grains, like oats and barley, quinoa is actually a pseudo-cereal grain.
In other words, it is basically a seed that is prepared and eaten similarly to a grain. Other examples of pseudo-cereal grains include buckwheat and amaranth.
There are many types of quinoa, including red, black, and white.
Here is the nutrient breakdown for 1 cup (185 grams) of cooked quinoa:
Calories: 222, Protein: 8 grams, Fat: 3.55 grams, Carbohydrates: 39 grams, Fiber: 5 grams, Folate: 19% of the daily value (DV), Vitamin B6: 13% of the DV, Vitamin E: 8% of the DV, Copper: 39% of the DV, Iron: 15% of the DV, Zinc: 18% of the DV, Manganese: 51% of the DV, Magnesium: 28% of the DV, Potassium: 7% of the DV, Phosphorus: 22% of the DV
Quinoa is a good source of a number of important nutrients, including folate, magnesium, zinc, and iron.
It’s also rich in fiber and protein, nutrients that play an important role in helping you feel full.
Higher In Fiber Than Many Grains
Another important benefit of quinoa is its high fiber content.
A 1-cup (185-gram) serving of cooked quinoa contains 5.18 grams of fiber. That’s about 18% of the current 28-gram DV. Quinoa contains more fiber than several other popular grains, like brown rice.
For example, a 1-cup (195-gram) serving of cooked brown rice contains 3.51 grams of fiber, which is 1.67 grams less than the same serving size of quinoa.
Adding fiber-rich foods like quinoa into your diet can help support your digestive health by promoting regular bowel movements and fueling beneficial bacteria in your gut.
Plus, eating a high fiber diet can support a body weight that’s healthy for you. Fiber helps promote feelings of fullness. Pairing high fiber foods like quinoa with high protein foods can help you feel full and may help keep your portion sizes in check .
Gluten-Free And Great For People With Gluten Intolerance
Some people with gluten intolerance, including those with celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity, need to avoid foods containing gluten.
People following a gluten-free diet need to choose gluten-free alternatives to gluten-containing grains like wheat, barley, and rye.
Quinoa is naturally gluten-free and makes a nutritious choice for people who want to or need to cut gluten from their diet.
Unlike gluten-free products made with refined ingredients, quinoa is a good source of nutrients that gluten-free diets often lack, like: fiber, folate, zinc, magnesium
A Good Source Of Protein
Quinoa is a good source of protein, providing 8 grams per cooked cup (185 grams).
Quinoa is often referred to as a complete protein. This is because it contains all nine of the essential amino acids that your body can’t make on its own.
However, experts argue that quinoa should not be considered a complete protein because it contains low amounts of certain amino acids, like lysine.
For this reason, experts have suggested that quinoa be considered a “nearly complete” protein, not a complete protein.
Either way, quinoa is a good source of protein and incorporating quinoa into your diet can help you meet your daily protein needs.
This is especially true for those who follow plant-based diets, like vegans. You can make a plant-based, protein-rich meal in no time by combining quinoa with beans, tofu, and mixed vegetables.
May Have Beneficial Effects On Metabolic Health
Some studies suggest that eating quinoa could benefit certain aspects of health.
A 2020 study in 40 older adults had participants eat 0.5 ounces (15 grams) of quinoa flour biscuits daily for 28 days.
By the end of the study, the participants who ate the quinoa biscuits had significantly greater reductions in LDL (bad) cholesterol, total cholesterol, and body weight than those who ate wheat-based biscuits.
Additionally, studies have found that eating quinoa and quinoa-based products may benefit blood sugar regulation, fullness, body weight and triglyceride levels.
A 2017 study that included 50 people with excess weight or obesity had participants consume 1.8 ounces (50 grams) of quinoa daily for 12 weeks.
Those who ate the quinoa had significant reductions in triglyceride levels compared with the control group and a group that consumed 0.88 ounces (25 grams) of quinoa per day.
Even though these results suggest that quinoa has a positive effect on metabolic health, it’s your diet and lifestyle as a whole that matter most when it comes to decreasing your risk of disease.
Following a dietary pattern rich in nutritious foods like quinoa, vegetables, fruits, fish, and beans is a smart way to protect your health and reduce disease risk factors, like high blood lipid levels and high blood sugar levels.
Now Let’s give you a bonus on How to Quinoa
It can be ready to eat in as little as 15–20 minutes. To cook it:
Rinse 1 cup (170 grams) quinoa thoroughly using a fine mesh strainer.
Put 2 cups (240 mL) water in a pot and turn the heat to high.
Add rinsed quinoa with a dash of salt.
Boil 15–20 minutes.
Enjoy.
It should now have absorbed most of the water and gotten a fluffy look. If done right, it should have a mild, nutty flavor and a satisfying crunch.
You can easily find many diverse recipes for quinoa online, including breakfast bowls, lunches, and dinners.
Quinoa Bowl
You can use quinoa in both sweet and savory recipes.
For example, you can try making a savory quinoa and vegetable salad topped with feta and grilled chicken. Or make a sweet breakfast porridge with cooked quinoa, coconut milk, fresh fruit, walnuts, cinnamon, and a drizzle of honey.
Take Home
Quinoa is fast becoming popular among the fit fam folks and it highly nutritious
It’s technically a seed and is considered part of a small group of grains called pseudo-cereals, along with amaranth and buckwheat.
It’s a smart carbohydrate choice because it’s rich in fiber, minerals, antioxidants, and protein. It’s also gluten-free, delicious, versatile, and incredibly easy to prepare.
Quinoa is a great carb option to include in your diet.
The aloe vera plant is a succulent plant species from the genus Aloe. It grows abundantly in tropical climates and has been used for centuries as a medicinal plant.
Aloe vera juice is a gooey, thick liquid made from the flesh of the aloe vera plant leaf. Historically, it’s been used both topically and orally.
Some have praised the potential health benefits of aloe vera when consumed as juice or in other forms. Let’s check out some of these benefits.
Contains Antioxidants
Based on test-tube studies, it’s thought that the aloe plant boasts anti-inflammatory properties. That’s why many people use it to treat and relieve certain skin conditions, like burns and wounds. Its proposed anti-inflammatory activity is thanks to polyphenols, a group of antioxidant-rich plant compounds.
Antioxidants help protect your body from damage caused by free radicals — also known as oxidative stress. Research has shown that chronic oxidative stress can increase the risk of some health conditions, including heart disease and even some cancers.
May help treat skin conditions and improve skin appearance
Aloe Vera Plant
Aloe vera is thought to have anti-inflammatory properties, making it a potential treatment for burns and other skin disorders like atopic dermatitis. Many of the benefits of aloe vera on skin health are seen when it’s applied topically, rather than consumed as a drink. Still, limited research on oral aloe vera supplements does exist. One study found that taking 40 mcg of aloe sterol per day for 12 weeks improved skin elasticity in a group of men under age 46. Another study similarly found that consuming aloe vera improved collagen production and reduced the appearance of wrinkles in a group of women over age 40. It’s important to note that in both of these studies, aloe was consumed as a supplement, not juice. Additionally, while this research is promising, it’s not conclusive and more human trials are needed.
May be beneficial to Diabetes treatment
Research has indicated that both the gel and juice from aloe vera may lower fasting blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Further, another study observed that aloe juice improved both blood sugar and blood fatty acid levels in those with pre-diabetes. While this sounds promising, research is limited. Larger, randomized, and controlled trials are needed to confirm the relationship between aloe vera juice and blood sugar control.
Additionally, aloe vera extract supplements are not standardized, regulated, or considered a safe alternative treatment for diabetes.
May help with digestive issues
Aloe Vera Gel
Aloe vera juice contains anthraquinone glycosides. These are plant compounds with laxative effects that could help relieve constipation. However, research on this topic is outdated and the safety of using aloe vera juice to treat constipation is unknown.
In 2002, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) no longer approved aloe vera laxatives for over-the-counter sales, as they haven’t been tested to confirm their safety and efficacy. Some preliminary research suggests that aloe vera syrup could help treat and reduce the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Other early research shows promising results for using aloe vera extract to treat irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
Ultimately, while it’s possible that aloe vera may have digestive benefits, there’s not yet enough research indicating the safety or dosage of its use for these purposes.
May improve dental and oral health
Some animal studies suggest that aloe vera offers antibacterial properties and could support the treatment of some dental and oral conditions.
Plus, a study in 74 people with oral submucous fibrosis — a chronic condition that causes pain and inflammation in the mouth — showed that taking 1 ounce (30 mL) of aloe vera juice twice daily for 3 months was as effective as traditional treatments like hydrocortisone injections.
Another study found that an aloe vera mouthwash effectively reduced the severity and pain related to oral mucositis — a common side effect of chemotherapy and radiation treatments — in individuals with head and neck cancers.
Further, a study in 64 people with cancer found that using an aloe vera mouthwash solution 3 times daily for 14 days helped reduce the occurrence and associated pain of chemotherapy-induced stomatitis, which is an infection in the mouth. It’s also speculated that aloe vera mouthwash could help reduce dental plaque and manage pain and swelling following oral surgery. Although more long-term data is needed, these studies indicate that aloe vera juice could offer an alternative approach to treatments for certain dental and oral conditions.
Aloe Vera juice considerations

Generally, aloe vera juice can be consumed as a drink, while the gel is often applied topically.
It’s a good idea to talk with a healthcare professional before trying anything new when it comes to your diet and health including adding aloe vera juice or supplements to your routine.
This is especially true if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding as the safety of aloe vera products remains unknown in these groups.
Similarly, be sure to review aloe vera supplements or juices with your doctor first if you’re taking any medications to avoid possible interactions.
Take Home
Aloe vera is commonly known as a topical gel used to treat sunburn. Promisingly, it may also provide other health benefits, largely due to its antioxidant properties.
Preliminary research has indicated that aloe vera may benefit your skin, dental, oral, and digestive health. It may even improve blood sugar control. However, more long-term data from human clinical trials is needed to confirm these benefits.
Be sure to talk with a healthcare professional before trying any aloe vera products, especially if you’re pregnant, nursing, or taking any medications.
The Vice Chancellor of University of Jos, Professor Ishaya Tanko has signed a Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) with Royal Choice Inn Limited to lease out an old University’s Council Guest House to the company.
He noted that the company, which is being managed by a developer, would remodel the guest house to meet global standard and construct a befitting world class hotel at the location for public use.
The vice chancellor signed the MoU on behalf of the institution while the Chairman of Royal Choice Inn Limited, Felix Akiga, signed for the company at the vice chancellor’s board room.
Tanko said that the MoU would last for 20 years after which the university would take over the property. He described Akiga as a developer, stakeholder and friend of the university who has contributed immensely to infrastructural and social wellbeing of the institution.
He said: “We are happy as a university for the signing of this Memoranda of Understanding. I am privileged to be the person signing this MoU and this is the first of its kind as far as we know in the University of Jos.
“I wish to recognise my predecessors who initiated the project; Professor Hayward Mafuwai started it and worked with Professor Nelson Ochekpe, who is here seated. When Professor Sabastine Maimako saw the beauty of the concept, he worked towards achieving it in 2020 but because of the pandemic, it wasn’t possible.”
He added that during the period of Maimako, he served as Vice Chancellor Academic and witnessed all the committees that were set up with the legal team and physical facilities units to ensure they reached an agreeable and acceptable with all the terms.
The vice chancellor explained that the university is not going to be responsible for the finances that would be used for the remodeling and for the construction, but assured that the developer is expected to spend three years to rehabilitate and construct the hotel, which he would use for 20 years and then hand over the facilities completely to the university.
Akiga, who spoke earlier, described the university as a home and said he would contribute his quota towards improving infrastructural facilities in the university.
He noted that the facility would be rehabilitated and a world class hotel would be constructed to house staff and guests of the university and for people outside the institution.
He said that the university was going to gain a lot from the exercise because it will create tourism and leisure management to hotel staff and it will give the university the opportunity to create entrepreneurial courses.
Akiga also donated N200,000 and volleyball kits to the university to commence preparation for the Nigerian University Games Association (NUGA) in Lagos this year. He promised to employ a volleyball coach for the institution and present a prize of N1 million to the team if they win the competition.
The World Safety Organisation (WSO) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC ) on the need to create more awareness on safe living habits and the environment for all Nigerians.
The President, World Safety Organisation, Soji Olalokun during the signing of the MoU at the NYSC National Directorate Headquarters in Abuja said the partnership would provide capacity building in health, safety, security, environment, emergency preparedness and response, accident prevention technology, among others for Corps volunteers.
According to Olalokun, the safety emergency response readiness is aimed at equipping Nigerians to create living habit and environment at workplace, schools and in all public places.
“The World Safety Organisation is crafted to add success to the Scheme through every Corps volunteer.
It intends to collaborate and facilitate a two-day ‘Train the Trainers’ activities during the Orientation Course for One Hundred Corps Volunteers who will be posted to fifty schools in pairs, within the benefiting pilot states of Kogi, FCT, Rivers, Edo, Lagos and Ekiti, with the hope to cover the remaining states later”, Olalokun said.
The WSO President had earlier commended the NYSC Director-General, Major General Shuaibu Ibrahim for his transformation strides in the NYSC and described the Scheme as a potent medium for national development.
NYSC Director-General, Major General Shuaibu Ibrahim, who spoke through the Director, Legal Services, Barrister Tijani Ibrahim gave assurance of the Scheme’s support towards ensuring the success of the partnership.
Major General Shuaibu Ibrahim, Director, Legal Services, Barrister Tijani Ibrahim, Director, Community Development and Special Projects, Abdulrasaq Salawu, Acting Director, Special Duties, Musa Abubakar and some staff were decorated as World Safety Organisation Ambassadors during the event.
Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has said that over 3.6 million children will be immunised against polio under the Maternal Newborn and Child Health Week January campaign.
This was contained in a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to Deputy Governor, Hassan Fagge, issued in Kano on Monday.
The MNCHW will be conducted alongside the outbreak response exercise, where personnel will go from house to house to immunise children below five years against poliovirus.
The governor, who was represented by his deputy, Dr. Nasiru Gawuna, disclosed this on Sunday at the Ungogo Local Government Area during the commencement of the OBR1 and MNCHW January campaign in the state.
“The aim of the Maternal Newborn and Child Health Week is to improve the health care services for pregnant women and their children,” he said.
Ganduje explained tha t the state government was committed to providing adequate health care services to the people, stressing that it would not relent in ensuring that pregnant women attended antenatal care in hospitals across the state.
The governor appreciated the Federal Government, local government chairmen, emirate councils and development partners for their commitment to sustaining the hard-fought gains and therefore urged them to consolidate on the success recorded during the exercise.
On his part, the Commissioner for Health, Dr. Aminu Tsanyawa, urged parents to cooperate with immunisation personnel towards ensuring the success of the exercise.

Her arms at her side against her glimmering, long black jacket and her blond hair pulled into a ponytail, Susanna Mälkki soaked in several minutes of applause after a thrilling Carnegie Hall debut. She had conducted the New York Philharmonic in a program, perceived as a possible prelude to becoming the first woman music director of an orchestra that started in 1842.
“Of course, it’s always an honor to be mentioned in this kind of context,” she said during an interview the day before the Jan. 6 performance. “It’s really, really fun to be with the orchestra. But the `l’actualité,′ as they say in French: This something that the orchestra will take their time. They will try out a lot of people.”
Musicians beamed as the audience erupted following the Philharmonic’s first Carnegie Hall appearance in six years, broadcast live on radio. Leelanee Sterrett, the acting associate principal horn, detected a “focused energy” that Mälkki brought to the podium and called it “one of those performances where in the concert everything was kind of taken up a notch, dialed up a notch.”
A native of Finland who turns 53 on March 13, Mälkki studied at the Sibelius Academy and London’s Royal Academy of Music, and she was mentored by Esa-Pekka Salonen.
