As much as diabetes has become a prevailing disease and health condition around us, the misrepresentations and fallacies that have clouded society in a number of ways and manners. It has now become difficult to know what is an accurate advice on the disease or a harmful stigma about it.

It can be confusing how some people say that eating too much sugar may lead to diabetes but also, to prevent eating sugar-free diabetic food, once diabetic.

So, we have few myths and misbeliefs that surround diabetes among general people. Here’s what you need to know for a better and healthier lifestyle.

1. Starchy food must be avoided
Starchy food, also known as carbohydrate foods such as wheat, rice, bread, cereals form a major part of one’s balanced diet. They are the main sources of energy giving components and must not be avoided at all cost. However, since starch breaks down to glucose, which is also a source of energy for the body, it is essential to know the right quantity of carbohydrates required by your body.

2. Once diabetic, you should not change your diet plans. Just pills and medications can work!
There are two types of diabetes, Type-2 diabetes is a cumulative disease that keeps intensifying with time, if not taken care of. When diagnosed with Diabetes, the pancreas in your body is still producing some amount of insulin. But if you do not change your eating habits and diet plans according to the disease, the pancreas might stop doing so soon and you will have to rely only on pills and insulin injections. Therefore, it is necessary to change and adopt a healthy eating habit and diet plan consulted from your dietician according to your health conditions.

3. Alcohol consumption is constrained for diabetic people
You can consume alcohol but the key is to stay under the limit. It is always recommended to not be a regular consumer of alcohol and have alcohol free days in your diet plan. This is so because alcoholic drinks add a lot of calories to your diet and also works as a stimulator for your appetite that makes it difficult for you to stick to your healthy diet plan.

4. You are more likely to get an illness if you are diabetic
Being diabetic does not make you more prone to illness. However, the management of blood glucose level is altered in diabetes which may increase the severity of illness or infection once caused. This depends on the health condition and severity of diabetes as well. Therefore, it is necessary to follow a healthy lifestyle and also precautionary steps to prevent infections and illness.

5. Natural products and supplements can cure diabetes
Medically, there is no proper cure to treat diabetes completely. Therefore, any claim by product that says it can cure diabetes is false. Many natural products or supplements may lessen a few diabetic effects, but none of them can cure them. It is also said that a few times, these products can instead interact with diabetes medications and hinder their effect, causing further complications in diabetes risk.

So, always consult your doctor before taking any medications or remedies.

The post Diabetes diet myths you need to be aware of appeared first on Mbare Times.

Did you know that what you put into your body can increase the possibility of erectile dysfunction? You are what you eat, so if you are consuming foods that lead to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and eventually, diabetes, then you are definitely at risk for the development of erectile dysfunction.

Remember, erectile dysfunction is a blood flow problem, and unhealthy or specific types of food can impact your blood vessel health.

Here are four foods that we find are the most common culprits of erectile dysfunction.

1. Fried food
Most people know that these foods are bad nutritionally for the diet but eating them on a consistent basis can lead to major health issue such as:

High cholesterol
High blood pressure
Diabetes
Obesity
All of these potential health issues have a direct connection and impact on erectile dysfunction. A healthy diet is an important factor in your overall health, so keep fried food as a special treat and not a main staple to your diet.

2. Red meat
Erectile dysfunction is one of the first symptoms of a heart problem. Most cuts of red meat contain high levels of saturated fat, which can lead to high cholesterol and heart disease. Eat low fat protein options such as chicken, salmon, and beans to help keep your heart healthy – and your sex life healthy. A happy heart means successful sexual function. Poor heart health leads to poor circulation and erectile dysfunction.

3. Pre-packaged foods
Cans and plastics are things that store and line our meats and vegetables. Sadly, these measures meant to protect and preserve our foods, are also loaded with Bisphenol-A (BPA), a chemical that inhibits sexual hormones.

BPA not only decreases sexual desire, but it also contributes to infertility and erectile dysfunction.
Plastic water bottles and microwave dinners are the biggest culprits of BPA-filled foods. To stay healthy, keep these products to a minimum.

4. Alcohol
More than two drinks a day for men is not recommended. While alcohol may lower your inhibitions and loosen you up, your erections could also become difficult to maintain or simply non-existent. Drinking excessively on a daily basis can eliminate testosterone from your blood stream and leave you needing help with Low-T.

Abramovich wrote on the club’s website: “I would like to address the speculation in media over the past few days in relation to my ownership of Chelsea FC.

“As I have stated before, I have always taken decisions with the Club’s best interest at heart. In the current situation, I have therefore taken the decision to sell the Club, as I believe this is in the best interest of the Club, the fans, the employees, as well as the Club’s sponsors and partners.

“The sale of the Club will not be fast-tracked but will follow due process. I will not be asking for any loans to be repaid. This has never been about business nor money for me, but about pure passion for the game and Club.

“Moreover, I have instructed my team to set up a charitable foundation where all net proceeds from the sale will be donated. The foundation will be for the benefit of all victims of the war in Ukraine.

“This includes providing critical funds towards the urgent and immediate needs of victims, as well as supporting the long-term work of recovery.

“Please know that this has been an incredibly difficult decision to make, and it pains me to part with the Club in this manner. However, I do believe this is in the best interest of the Club.

“I hope that I will be able to visit Stamford Bridge one last time to say goodbye to all of you in person. It has been a privilege of a lifetime to be part of Chelsea FC and I am proud of all our joint achievements. Chelsea Football Club and its supporters will always be in my heart. Thank you, Roman”

In response, the rapper mentioned music projects released years ago; he further explained that he’s indirectly putting out songs by hosting one of the biggest music show in SA, Idols.

ProVerb also added that he’s one of the board member of SAMRO, SA Music Rights Organisation, hence there’s no need to enter the studio to sing.

“One song? Try 5 albums, 16 songs each, a mixtape, a DVD, countless collabs and 20 years of my life.

When he said ‘Cotton Eaters do not die, they multiply’ he knew exactly what he meant. Therefore his family will ensure that his memory and legacy lives on. During his emotional funeral on Tuesday, March 1, his family revealed that they would create a foundation in his honour and it will focus on young people.

Riky always emphasised the importance of taking care for the youth and that is what many people remember him by. He did not just preach the importance, he also practiced it. A family member, Kumi Naidoo, revealed this during his funeral service and said when they last spoke, he pleaded with him and his mother-in-law to help him bring his vision to life.

“In our last conversation you said mom and I need to help you with your core vision, which is to support young people. You were so concerned about young people at risk but you also wanted young people to have the same chances that you had to break into music, arts and culture.” he said.

“Mama and I and the rest of the family will work with your fans to bring this vision to light and ensure there will be a foundation set up in your name to serve young people in Africa,” he promised.

It was an emotional sendoff indeed and it was revealed that his body had been cremated.
At the funeral, Bianca Naidoo, his wife of 9 years spoke about how he helped her break away from her shell and how their kids loved and cherished him dearly.

“When I think about nine years together, here are the things I am mostly grateful for. Our journey as parents started at the beginning of our relationship. He was an amazing father to Jordan. They had the most incredible bond from day one. She brought softness to his life

“Our children told Riky and I the importance of family values. He loved teaching them new things, he wanted them to always be open to new experiences.. He always wanted them to stretch their thinking, expand their horizons . He took a keen interest in their hobbies and passions. He loved them deeply, he was their protector,” she said.

“As a partner he always encouraged me to come out of my shell and to allow myself to step into the light and conquer my shyness, he wanted me to shine. I was put in his life to love him, to care for him and to help him on a journey to fulfill part of his purpose. Ours was deep and pure love.

Dua Lipa is being sued for copyright infringement by a band called Artikal Sound System, who have claimed she ripped off their song “Live Your Life” for her hit single “Levitating”.

The 26-year-old singer enjoyed huge success with her 2020 hit but a band called Artikal Sound System are seeking to claim the profits from the track because they believe she has ripped off their 2017 reggae single “Live Your Life”. According to documents obtained by TMZ, the band believe Dua and her team heard their song and came up with a carbon copy in ‘Levitating’.

Although they haven’t explained why they feel that is the case in the lawsuit, there are similarities in the sound of the two songs, particularly the choruses.

Artikal Sound System have also named Dua’s label Warner Records and others as defendants and are seeking any profits made on the song, plus damages. She said: “I’ve done a big chunk of writing: It’s starting to take shape; I’ve got a lot of it recorded.

“It has a vision. It has a name, I think – for now. It’s just been fun experimenting. I’m always going to make pop music, but it has its own unique sound, which is exciting and something that feels like a movement from ‘Future Nostalgia’.

Kim Kardashian is legally single after a judge ruled it on Wednesday and is no longer married to rapper Kanye West.

The “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star’s quest to become a free woman again after filing for divorce from Kanye West, – who legally changed his name to Ye – has been granted by a judge after the 41-year-old reality television star appeared in court via video link on Wednesday from the privacy of her closet.
The news – which was first reported by TMZ – means that the Skims entrepreneur has formally dropped the West from her name, reverting it back to just her maiden name.

Kim – who shares eight-year-old North, six-year-old Saint, four-year-old Chicago and two-year-old Psalm with the 44-year-old rapper – told the judge that there were problems in the marriage and that their relationship could not be saved with counselling.

Ye did not object to the restoration of their single status, although only one of his conditions was met – the right to be reimbursed money that is owed to them if either Kim or he dies – while two were rejected.
Earlier, it was reported – also by TMZ – that the “Gold Digga” hitmaker had fired Chris Melcher, his fourth divorce attorney hired since Kim filed to dissolve the marriage, which began in 2014.

After the news was first reported it was inaccurately claimed that Kim – who is now romantically linked with Pete Davidson – filed the papers incorrectly. However, the beauty mogul had submitted them before her ex – who has moved on with a string of women – changed his name. No decision about custody or assets have been reached.

Toyota said Thursday it would suspend operations at its only factory in Russia and stop shipping vehicles to the country, citing “supply chain disruptions” linked to Moscow’s assault on Ukraine. The world’s top-selling carmaker said its plant in Saint Petersburg produced around 80,000 vehicles last year, mainly for the Russian market and representing just a fraction of the 10.5 million vehicles made worldwide by the Japanese group.

The Saint Petersburg plant employs around 2,600 people, a Toyota spokeswoman told AFP, confirming the supply disruption was linked to the conflict.

Toyota has no factories in Ukraine but said sales operations in the country had been suspended since February 24, when Moscow launched its assault.

Western governments, sporting organisations and big companies have cut Russia off or dealt it punishing sanctions over the internationally condemned attack. And other Japanese firms announced Thursday that they were halting or altering business as a result of the situation.

Honda said it had suspended all exports to Russia “until further notice”, though the firm only exports around 3,000 cars and motorbikes a year to the country.

Mazda, which sold around 29,000 vehicles in Russia last year, said it had stopped reserving containers for shipments to the country and would continue operating its joint venture factory in Vladivostok until parts run out.

Others were more cautious, with Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors saying they were reviewing the situation. Japanese airlines are also being forced to adapt to tit-for-tat airspace closures, with Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways cancelling some routes and rerouting others to avoid Russia, adding hours to some flights.

Local media personality Unathi Nkayi is back on the airwaves! The broadcaster on March 1, hosted her first show on radio station Star 91.9FM. The seasoned broadcaster hosts the ‘All Star Drive’ from 3pm to 6pm alongside Justin Toerien on the radio station. For her first official show, Star 91.9FM held a live broadcast of the show at Jozi Gin Bar in Cedar Square.

IOL Entertainment got to join the fun and witness Unathi and Justin do their thing and also meet the rest of the presenters such as Nicole da Silva, Greg and Lucky and Mzi at the community radio station.
It’s been amazing to have a first again, I didn’t think I would be able to have another first in my career. And also being at a station that is so exciting and so excited to have me there, which is really lovely.

“I think it’s also really wonderful that there is such an established range of talent here. Everyone is excited, the music is amazing. I love that it is 80% local and I also love that the women we have on the station not only have supportive roles but also have roles where we are independent and can stand alone, which is really great,” she said.

Unathi boldly expressed her excitement over her new venture. She may have had a little nerves prior to going on air but she handled the show like the pro she is.

The chemistry between Unathi and Justin was amazing to witness, one would have thought the two had a few practise runs before the broadcast, but Unathi revealed that there was no practise session, just pure authentic energy. After the broadcast and before the celebrations kicked off IOL Entertainment caught up with Unathi about her new chapter.

“It’s a new chapter, you know and it’s a very scary chapter because I was asked to come help start a new radio station. Something I never thought I would ever do. We know that radio stations in South Africa are established and they have been for a while.

“So it’s very humbling to be trusted with a new baby, it’s very humbling to be trusted with a blank canvas and for the team to trust me to join them and to say we trust you enough to grow this beautiful baby of ours,” she said.

Minnie Dlamini, recently wreaked havoc across Mzansi when she announced that she and her husband, Quinton Jones, are getting divorced after two years of struggling to make their relationship work. Now fans are speculating that she has replaced him, but it may not be what it looks like.

The media personality has recently gone on vacation. Even her fans and fellow celebrities agree that she desperately needed to take a break and unwind after the drama that followed her divorce announcement. She was bullied, and tweeps insinuated that she could not keep a man, and that she would never find love again because she is now “damaged goods”. It was hectic!

She has been sharing snaps from her vacation, and one of them was captioned “Dinner with my soulmate in Paris”.

The post immediately caught fans’ attention, but upon further inspection, it seems she was just baiting people, as the soulmate she meant is her close friend. Even so, she is still getting a lot of applause for looking radiant and glowing, even after everything she has been through recently.

But it was another post that set tongues wagging. She shared a photo four days ago, of herself in a bikini, basking in the sun. She captioned it “golden hour”, but the comments section was turned off, which is probably why it took so long for the post to garner attention.
That was until one fan, reaching out to a popular gossip blog in the country, speculated that she had gone back to Zuko Tisani’s house in Cape Town. The apartment was the venue of her much talked-about video with Unathi Nkayi, which landed her in trouble.

Now the fan is further speculating that Minnie has replaced Quinton with Zuko. The former love birds were allegedly supposed to be shooting a film together, or at least collaborating on the project. Now that they are separated, it looks like she may have taken the project and replaced Quinton with Zuko in it.

The United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday overwhelmingly voted to reprimand Russia for invading Ukraine and demanded that Moscow stop fighting and withdraw its military forces, an action that aims to diplomatically isolate Russia at the world body.

The resolution, supported by 141 of the assembly’s 193 members, passed in a rare emergency session called by the UN Security Council while Ukrainian forces battled to defend the port of Kherson in the face of air strikes and a devastating bombardment that forced hundreds of thousands of people to flee. The text of the resolution deplores Russia’s “aggression against Ukraine.

The last time the Security Council convened an emergency session of the General Assembly was in 1982, according to the UN website.

Russia was joined by Belarus, which has served as a launchpad for Russian invasion forces, Eritrea, North Korea and Syria in voting against the resolution. Thirty-five members, including China, abstained.

While General Assembly resolutions are non-binding, they carry political weight, with Wednesday’s vote representing a symbolic victory for Ukraine and increasing Moscow’s international isolation. Even Russia’s traditional ally Serbia voted against it.

“As 141 member states of the United Nations know, more is at stake even than the conflict in Ukraine itself. This is a threat to the security of Europe and the entire rules-based order, “US Secretary of State Antony Blinken told reporters after the vote.

US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the assembly that Russia was poised to intensify the brutality of its offensive and urged members to hold Moscow accountable for its violations of international law.

She cited videos of Russian troops moving heavy weapons into Ukraine, including cluster munitions and vacuum bombs, banned under international law. This is an extraordinary moment,” she said. “Now, at more than any other point in recent history, the United Nations is being challenged.”

“Vote yes if you believe UN member states including your own have a right to sovereignty and territorial integrity. Vote yes if you believe Russia should be held to account for its actions,” she added.

Russia’s UN envoy, Vassily Nebenzia, denied Moscow was targeting civilians and accused Western governments of pressuring assembly members to pass the resolution, whose adoption he said could fuel further violence.

He repeated Russia’s assertion its action was a special military operation aimed at ending purported attacks on civilians in the self-declared Moscow-backed republics of Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine.

Nebenzia charged that Ukrainian forces were using civilians as human shields and deploying heavy weapons in civilian areas.

Elaborating on China’s abstention, Beijing’s envoy, Zhang Jun, said the resolution did not undergo full consultations with the whole membership of the assembly.

“Nor does it take full consideration of the history and complexity of the current crisis. It does not highlight the importance of the principle of indivisible security, or the urgency of promoting political settlement and stepping up diplomatic efforts,” he said.

These are not in line with China’s consistent positions. China, which has grown increasingly close to Russia in recent years, says it will not participate in Western sanctions against Moscow.

“The evil will never stop. It requires more and more space, “Ukraine’s UN envoy, Sergiy Kyslytsa, said in urging passage of the resolution, calling it “one of the building blocks to build a wall to stop” the Russian offensive.

After nearly a week, Russia has yet to achieve its aim of overthrowing Ukraine’s government.

It has faced an unprecedented international backlash, especially from the West, whose sanctions have crippled Russia’s financial system while giant multinational countries have pulled investments out. Washington has imposed several rounds of sanctions,including against Russian President Vladimir Putin and the central bank, since Russia’s forces invaded Ukraine in the biggest assault on a European state since World War Two.

On the latest episode of Podcast And Chill with MacG, they were discussing Riky Rick’s passing and touched a little on whether social media plays a role on dampening a persons mental health or not. The team, Sol Phenduka, MacG and The Ghost lady not only discussed depression and how Riky Rick might have spoken about it in a much deeper level when he was still alive, but they also tried to make sense of everything.

They brought in two experts, a clinical psychologist and trauma counselor to dissect the topic in a much broader sense.

When they spoke about social media, Sol Phenduka and MacG revealed they have been victims of cyber bullying but they laughed about it and acknowledged that there might be people who are not as strong as they are.
MacG then shared a WhatsApp status written by Dineo Ranaka about social media and how she hates it with all her life. She finds it worrisome that industries nowadays make social media a requirement and they do not stop to think about people who are suffering mentally because of it.

“I despise the people who created social media, I truly do. I despise the fact that now the industries we work for, undervalue you if you don’t have social media. It’s a criteria now, a space that fuels misery for many has been now made a criteria. If I told my employers or clients that I am deleting my social media, they would freak out. Not thinking how much the damage it is causing me mentally is making me freak out.

“No one really gives a sh*t about mental wellbeing. Most of the people I have told I am deleting my account have advised me not to because work-this work-that. What about f**n mental health. I hate that space, I freaking hate social media and how we are professionally coerced into having it. I don’t want it my mind can’t handle it,” she apparently wrote on her WhatsApp status.
Dineo Ranaka has a pretty healthy social media presence as she posts a lot on her Instagram pages. Not so much Twitter, which is the one place people despise the most, especially celebrities because they get bullied often.

Dineo is always labelled toxic because of the drama she always gets embroiled in. She is painted as the bad guy by many people and she is well aware of that. For her mental wellbeing, Dineo says she temporarily unfollows people on social media, “You can be offended but that’s on you. But I temporarily unfollow people for my mental wellbeing.”

She said all the labels given to her by society would have probably killed her but lucky for her, she has a good brain so she is still alive.

Following the tragic death of Riky Rick last week, many fans assumed that he had died not making peace with former friend Cassper Nyovest.

The once close industry colleagues allegedly fell out over music interests and sadly, did not reconcile in public.

But Cassper has revealed that Riky did in fact leave him with parting words prior to his alleged suicide on Wednesday 24 February.

The Khotso hitmaker claimed his late friend last spoke to him a month earlier.

Following an old video re-emerging in which Cassper claims he does not want to talk to Riky after their fall-out, many fans assumed that all was not well between the duo.

Adding to that was Cassper posting a series of tweets in which he expressed his remorse on not having “enough time” with his bestie.

However, in his latest Instagram post, Cassper claims he last spoke to Riky Rick in January.

Alongside an old picture of the pair at a music awards ceremony, Cassper wrote: “Your last words to me on January 9th was ‘Don’t worry boizen, you gone be ayt. Hold it down boyz! Im out!’ .

“I don’t know if we’ll be ayt Riky. The load is so heavy. All these pictures and memories are f**ing me up, cause I thought we had a chance to create more in good time. Every morning is harder than the last. There’s so much I wanted to tell you, I don’t know if it means anything now. I am going to miss you my dawg”.
