Actress and TV Presenter, Rachel Bakam is dead

Kaduna-born actress and TV presenter, Rachel Bakam has passed on at the age of 38.

Bakam died at a private hospital in Abuja on Tuesday April 13 after a brief illness. Friends and family have all flooded her social media pages to pen down their tributes to her.

Before her death, she was the CEO and Managing Director of Rayzeds Media Ltd, Founder & President of the Nigerian Water Ski And Wakeboard Federation (NWWF).

Mourning her death, Chocolate City Founder, Audu Maikori wrote;

The last chat I had with Rachel Bakam was on the 1st of April 2021. She said ” I just received bad and troubling news , I am speechless” I asked her what happened- clearly alarmed and she replied ” its April fools day bro! LOL” and my fear turned into a smile. She then proceeded to tell me about her latest fundraising drive to empower Southern Kaduna women in the rural areas by providing seed money and equipment for them. We chatted a little more about it and signed off. Little did I know that lest than 2 weeks later I wold be the one who received the “bad and troubling news” of her death!!

Rachel was a very inspiring woman ,sister and mother- always had a smile , alway positive and very very clear about her goals. I met her probably 17 years ago in Kaduna through a mutual friend and later on with her then husband Israel Edjeren. More recently, we were in the same Kaduna Creative group where we mentor, support and share opportunities for empowerment – and she was always very active , passionate about any project concerning Southern Kaduna and Kaduna state as a whole- but with a keen focus on helping the less privileged and the displaced refugees across the country.

The lady was always so busy I even used to wonder when she ever got to rest with her packed schedule !

There have ben quite a few deaths recently, but this one hit me hard!!! It hit us all very very hard cos we lost a true gem, the space she occupied , not many can fill today because she had a special flair about what she did and that flair was driven by her passion for her people. She will be dearly missed by us all.

Rest In Peace Queen Rachel Bakam!

7 Health Benefits of Fasting

Today marks the first day of the month of Ramadan, Muslim faithful across the world have started 29/30 days fasting period. Fasting in the month of Ramadan is a spiritual obligation upon the Muslims. It is a way to purify the soul while seeking forgiveness from the Almighty Allah.

However, aside from the spiritual side of it, do you know that fasting has a lot of health benefits? In this article, I will give explain to you the 7 health benefits of fasting.

Helps to Fight Inflammation

Fasting in the helps the body fight against inflammation and inflammatory diseases. It treats long-time injuries, swellings, and aches. This happens because during fasting the condition in the arteries and joints is improved.

In a study carried out by research at Mount Sinai and published in Cell. It was discovered that fasting improves chronic inflammatory diseases without actually affecting the immune system response to acute infections.

Detoxification

Fasting helps to detoxify and clean the body at a cellular level, eliminating waste and dangerous materials. Since fast ritual allows you to consume a lot of fruits and vegetables, which are recommended food for detoxification. Also, the long hours without food help the body digest food properly, therefore, eliminating waste and improving health.

Boost Mental Health

Fasting boosts mental clarity improves concentration and focus. During fasting, a process is triggered in the brain call Autophagy. This is a process in which the brain self-cleans itself, clearing out old and damaged cells. This process allows the growth of new and healthy brain cells. Research has shown that lack of autophagy is linked to various brain diseases such as schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, depression, bipolar disorder, and other neuro-disorders.

It also improves memory because research has shown that restricting the hours you eat can significantly improve memory. Weeks of fasting helps improve planning, work performance, and memory.

Improve Heart Health

Fasting helps to improve the health of the heart which has been associated with lower rates of heart failure and improve cholesterol level. Researchers have shed more light on the aged-long debate that fasting affects the heart. A study shows that it reduces heart failure; reduces blood pressure and insulin resistance.

Weight Loss

Fasting is a good way to reduce weight. In 2017 a study shows that day fasting whereby intakes of calories are restricted was effective in losing weight and keeping the pounds off. A week of fasting can help people lose as much as 10 pounds of weight.

Treatment of Diabetes

Fasting helps to reduce sugar levels, encourage weight loss, and to improve digestion which is linked to the management of type 2 diabetes. In one study, patients with type 1 diabetes who stuck with a fasting plan were able to lower their insulin dose. Also, some organs that play a role in diabetes may benefit from fasting, too.

Immune Boost

Fasting can effectively help boost the immune system, given the body a better chance to fight against infections and diseases. Intermittent approximately 12-18 hours each day helps to regulate immune functions and help in the regeneration of immune cells.
