These two crops define the era; agricultural as yam or palm belt and the diet as the cuisine is capsarcin -rich wood-ash, folic acid- rich wood-ash, folic acid-rich green leafy- vegetables is also basic to the diet . These bioactive chemical fuctions in these food characterize the diet. They are adapted to the acidic, equational body of the people. Apart from the basic supplies of energy and body building structural elements, characteristic forest west African foods physiological functions are: Alkalization, ketogenenesis and Bioelectrical modulation, to obvate bio redox stresses. failure of adopted modernization diet( mainly wheat , milk and meat) to fulfill these functions makes the people more susceptible to modern metabolic syndromes. The structure and known metabolic activities of isolated chemical functional essences , such as dioscorin in yam and locotrienols in palm oil suggest they are their dietary abandonment .The yam palm Diet of forest west Africa contains the functional essence of antimetabolic syndrome.Elimination of gluten and lactoso and other metabolic syndrome - promoting assenses of wheat and milk , would be healthful to forest west Africans . A return to indigenous food consuption for healthful life is advised by the facts.Item Open Access Environmental health and sanitation as panacea to disease control and prevention(Federal University of Technology, Owerri, 2011-05-31) Amadi, Sanitarian Agwu NkwaItem Open Access Environmental pollution : The scourge of lifekind(Federal University of Technology, Owerri, 1995-05-31) Okecha, Steve A.Item Open Access Fisheries and aquaculture development in Nigeria: The challenges and possibilities(Federal University of Technology, Owerri, 2011-05-27) Anadu, Donald IgwegbuItem Open Access Hydrogeoenivrinmental risk assessment: The challenges and promises(Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Nigeria, 2010-07-07) Ibe Kasimir MaduabuchiItem Open Access Instilling moral ethics in the university community: A sine qua non for national growh and development(Federal University of Technology, Owerri, 2010-06-23) Anyanwu, Beatrice NgoziItem Open Access Menstrual hygiene management practices among undergraduates of Imo State, Nigeria(U. P., 2020) Igwe, C. N.; Amadi, A. N.; Onwuzulike, N. M.; Ozims, S. J.; Amadi, C. O. A.; Achigbu, K. I.; Azuamah, Y. C.; Okereke, E. E.Ensuring proper hygiene during menses is very crucial to the dignity of girls and women. This study was carried out to investigate the menstrual hygiene management practices among undergraduate female students in tertiary institutions of Imo State, Southeastern Nigeria. This study was a cross-sectional study of tertiary institutions located in Imo State, Southeastern Nigeria. Six hundred and seventy female undergraduates between 16 and 28 years from six tertiary institutions were interviewed using a well-structured questionnaire. Results showed that on absorbents use among University students, 20 representing 5.71% very often used reusable cloth/towel, 12(3.43%) very often used tampon, 264 representing 75.43% very often used disposable sanitary pad, 0(0.00%) very often used menstrual cup, while 20 representing 5.71% very often used toilet paper/tissue. Among Polytechnics/Monotechnic students, absorbent mostly used by female students was disposable sanitary pad, the most common frequency of change of absorbent was twice a day. The results on the rate of use of absorbents was 10 representing 7.14% very often used reusable cloth/towel, 4(2.86%) very often used tampon, 78 representing 55.71% very often used disposable sanitary pad, 0(0.00%) very often used menstrual cup, while 8 representing 5.71% very often used toilet paper/tissue. On the rate of using absorbents among Colleges of education students, 14 representing 7.78% very often used reusable cloth/towel, 19(10.56%) very often use tampon, 112 representing 62.22% very often using absorbents among Colleges of education students, 14 representing 7.78% very often used reusable cloth/towel, 19(10.56%) very often use tampon, 112 representing 62.22% very often used disposable sanitary pad, 0(0.00%) very often used menstrual cup, while 8 representing 4.44% very often used toilet paper/tissue. While there was a poor level of menstrual hygiene management practices among the students, there was no significant difference (P>0.05) in the menstrual hygiene management practices among female undergraduates in tertiary institutions in Imo State. Proper menstrual hygiene education was recommended for all young girls in tertiary institutions.Item Open Access Nuclear power development in Nigeria: Partnership building among national institutions for the sustainable program implementation(Federal University of Technology, Owerri, 2013-05-17) Osaisai, F.
