Highly processed foods often contain extra sodium, an unbelievably high amount of sugar, or fat that add unnecessary calories and additives, all of which have been linked to chronic conditions like heart disease, some cancers, and diabetes.
Make sure half of your plate contains fruits and veggies, because by doing so you’ll aim to prevent disease instead of inviting it in because fruits and vegetables make every diet better, healthier and cleaner.

Any kind of controlling and manipulative behavior in relationships is an obvious sign of insecurity and possessiveness. This behaviour comes from the fear of rejection, loneliness and powerlessness and has nothing to do with love. Insecure partners lack self-love and self-confidence. They believe they need you in order to be happy, successful and secure.

In an interview, posted yesterday, on the Track Alerts website, the 30-year-old said, “I feel very good, I feel very confident. All the hard work has been done and at this point it’s just to be confident, trust the coaches, trust what you have been doing and have fun and execute.” Baptiste has a total of two bronze medals at the World Championships level __ in the women’s 100 metres in Daegu, South Korea in 2011 and in the women’s 4x100m relay in Beijing, China two years ago.
She acknowledged, “Last year wasn’t that great for me. I would not say I’m not at my best, I’ve had better seasons, but I’m very close to it.
“I’ve been (at major meets) for a very long time so it’s just that experience, and all that accumulates over time.” Baptiste is among a group of 23 TT athletes who will be in action during the August 4-13 event.
Among the men are Keston Bledman and Emmanuel Callender (100 metres), Kyle Greaux and Jereem Richards (200 metres), Machel Cedenio, Lalonde Gordon and Renny Quow (400 metres), Mikel Thomas and Ruebin Walters (110m hurdles).

This year marks the 16th edition of these Championships and various pundits, including 1976 Olympic 100m gold medallist Hasely Crawford have already weighed in on their expectations for the team competing this year.
The general consensus is that medalling in any track and field event is no easy task however with hard work and determination anything is possible. It is a competition that sees Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt as the main attraction however Trinidad and Tobago will surely be looking to do their absolute best at the event.
The event was entitled Emancipation, and Charles and his band did three onehour shows starting at 2 pm, 6 pm and 9 pm.
There was standing room only for the 9 pm show which started on time with Charles and his band, including international drummer (Dejembe) David Archee, playing Culture Shock.
They followed with Fee Fi Fo Fum and then gave the audience a taste of the calypso- infused Fela Kuti’s Opposite People. As the jam continued with several musical selections, members of the audience were singing at the top of their voices.
Charles’ visit home was two-fold–to play at Emancipation and to participate in an outreach programme at various children’s homes on July 27 and 28 to talk to the children and enlighten them about a future in music.

Except that, without seeking to minimise the woman’s predicament, it mirrors what other persons are faced with all the time, whether they are guilty of a crime or not.
It is a frightening thought that by itself should turn anyone away from a life of crime, but is clearly no deterrent, as the crime statistics demonstrate. What is responsible for the terrifying conditions existing in jails and prisons and detention centres in the country, with the many billions of dollars spent on this area of governance annually? Every person who has been arrested and held in such conditions should be entitled to compensation for having to undergo such inhumane treatment, whether guilty or not.
The conditions described in the lawsuit should exist nowhere in the world; they belong in the 19th century, and even then would have been considered unacceptable.
The Minister of National Security should get on the case of whichever officer of his Ministry is responsible for dealing with this problem and ensure that it is corrected post haste. Sorry, I forgot, this is Trinidad and Tobago, there is no one responsible.

Premiering as the track of the week on Premier Gospel Radio in the United Kingdom, the single also features Nisa, Ayanah Gordon Wallace and Russell Leonce. John was recently accepted into the Recording Academy, the host organisation of the Grammy Awards, and humbly acknowledged that the song has also garnered local airplay on several radio stations.
The song is meant to be positive and encouraging, and John says it speaks to the undesirable crime and economic situation in Trinidad and Tobago. He believes if the nation starts having a healthy relationship with Christ, all other relationships can be filtered and healing can begin. In addition to hoping that the song can inspire those going through difficult times, John also wishes he can change the mindset of a few and impact many others.
Highlighting that the single, Everybody, is part of his upcoming extended play (EP), The Gospel of Romance, John said, “The Gospel of Romance is a collection of original works that deal with relationships, friendship, romantic and relationship with Christ.” The EP, which serves as a part of John’s natural musical progression, is a representation of the musical skills he has acquired from singing at home to being a part of the Youth Pulse Choir.
Aspiring to spread his positive message further afield, John plans to collaborate with other writers, singers and producers, and to take his message to various regional and international music festivals.
With his message being one of upliftment, he urges fellow musicians to be more conscious of the message they put out, as “artistes have the power to be influential social engineers”. He wishes to see the airways flooded with content that will help engineer the change he wishes to see.
Connection (13 points) are second on the 2017 standings behind leaders North East Stars (16 points), who after this weekend will have two games in hand, with their latest fixture against San Juan Jabloteh shifted to August 22, due to the latter’s involvement in the inaugural Scotiabank CONCACAF League for qualified clubs from Central America and the Caribbean.
“Not coming away with three points against (Morvant) Caledonia will make it even harder on us (W Connection),” said veteran Connection midfielder Hughtun Hector.
“We are one of the top clubs in Trinidad and three years without winning the League title is a long time. We want to be champions again. And it’s important that we keep the pressure on North East Stars and be in a good position heading into the second (and final) round.” Connection kicked off the truncated 2017 Pro League (18 matches) campaign with three consecutive wins, defeating St Ann’s Rangers (1-0), Point Fortin Civic (2-1) and Club Sando (3-1) along the way.
But they suffered a narrow loss to Police (1-0) through an own goal by their fourth game.
Stuart Charles-Fevrier’s men rebounded with a win and a draw against Jabloteh (3-1) and North East Stars (2-2) respectively, but their latest outing ended in a disappointing 4-1 loss to Defence Force—a side that had not won in five previous outings.
Rangers will face Civic in a bottom-ofthe- table clash in the first game at the Hasely Crawford Stadium today from 6 pm, but like Morvant Caledonia, the St Ann’s club have not been competitive in almost three weeks since a shock 1-0 win over three-time defending champions Central on July 14.
Last weekend’s carded game between Rangers and Morvant Caledonia had to be rescheduled to a date still to be determined.
Sando, a side unbeaten in their last five outings, also returns to play this weekend, when they host Defence Force from 4 pm at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium, Marabella tomorrow.
And, on Monday, from 6 pm at the Hasely Crawford Stadium Training Field, Police FC will tackle Central FC.
