5 Reasons You Should Start Eating Onions

Onion is a member of the Allium family and is rich in sulfur containing compounds that are responsible for its pungent odor and for many of onion’s health promoting effects.

Cardiovascular BenefitsThere is evidence that sulfur compounds found in onion work in an anti clotting capacity and help prevent the unwanted clumping together of blood platelet cells. There is also evidence showing that onion’s sulfur compounds can lower blood levels of cholesterol and triglycerides and improve cell membrane function in red blood cells as well. The benefits of onion in the overall dietary context extend to prevention of heart attack. The outstanding flavonoid content of onions supports these research findings.
Bone and connective tissue benefitsHuman studies have shown that onion can help increase your bone density and may have special benefit on women of menopausal age who are experiencing loss of bone density. Plus, there is evidence that women who have passed the age of menopause may be able to lower their risk of hip fracture through daily eating of onions.  In this research on bone density in older women, very rare eating of onion like once a month or less did not provide much benefit. Daily consumption of onion boosts benefits for bone density. So do not skimp on onions when you are incorporating them into your diet plan. The high sulfur content of onions may provide direct benefits to your connective tissue as many of your connective tissue components require sulfur for their formation.

Ronaldo breaks another record as Real Madrid man nets double in rout to become Portugal's all-time top scorer

Cristiano Ronaldo made the most of shambolic Cameroon defending by scoring twice to help his team to a 5-1 friendly win on Wednesday and become Portugal's all-time leading scorer.

Ronaldo took his international tally to 49, two more than the previous record set by Pauleta, as Portugal ran rings around the Indomitable Lions in a meeting of two World Cup finalists.

'I don't worry about breaking records, it something that happens naturally, with lots of dedication,' the 29-year-old told RTP television.

Cameroon were level at halftime but fell apart in the second half as they conceded four goals in a disastrous 18-minute spell.

Referee: Andre Marriner

Portugal went ahead in the 21st minute when Joao Pereira pulled the ball back from near the byline and found Ronaldo, who shimmied past his marker and fired a low shot past Guy Rolland Ndy Assembe to set a new scoring record.

The hosts did not have it all their own way and Vincent Abubakar levelled two minutes before the break when he was given time to control the ball on his chest and score with a shot on the turn.

The second half began with both teams on the attack and Assembe made an outstanding save to deny Ronaldo from close range just after the hour.

But Cameroon collapsed after a dreadful mistake by Aurelien Chedjou, who sent an attempted pass out of defence straight to Raul Meireles and the midfielder gratefully accepted the gift to put Portugal back in front in the 65th minute.

Fabio Coentrao added another two minutes later after he was set up by Silvestre Varela and, with Cameroon wide open, Edinho snapped up the fourth in the 77th minute after Essembe could only touch Ronaldo's shot straight into his path.

MANGULA ATUA KALENGA , ASEMA CHADEMA WALIA KILIO CHA MAMBA

NA BASHIR NKOROMO, IRINGA

MRATIBU wa Kampeni za CCM katika uchaguzi mdogo jimbo la Kalenga, Iringa Vijijini, Makamu Mwenyekiti wa CCM (Bara), Philip Mangula amesema, madai ya Chadema kwamba CCM imepeleka mamluki katika jimbo hilo ni kilio cha mamba, baada ya chama hicho kukimbiwa kutokana na vitendo vyake vya kudhuru watu ikiwemo kuwatoboa macho kwa bisibisi na kuwamwagia tindikali.

Hivi karibuni Chadema wanadaiwa kumtoboa jicho kwa bisibisi Alphonce John wakati wa kampeni za uchaguzi mdogo wa udiwani mjini Kahama, na pia wanadaiwa kumpa ulemavu wa kudumu kwenye sura Mussa Tesha baada ya kumwagia Tindikali wakati wa uchaguzi mdogo uliofanyika Igunga 2012.

Mangula amesema mbali na vitendo vya kutoboa macho na kumwagia watu tindikali, ambavyo Chadema inadaiwa kufanya, pia chama hicho kimeogofya wananchi kwenda kwenye mikutano yake, kutokana na kujiwekea histoa mbaya ya watu kuuawa katika mikutano yake kadhaa ambapo sasa wamefikia watu zaidi ya wanane tangu chama hicho kuanzishwa.

Makamu Mwenyekiti huyo wa CCM Bara, ametoa ufafanuzi huo baada ya mwandishi mmoja wa habari kutaka kujua CCM ilikuwa na maoni gani kuhusu tuhuma ambazo zimetolewa na Chadema, kwenye mkutano wake na waandishi, leo, Machi 3, 2013 ikisema kwamba CCM imeingiza watatu iliowaita majambazi, kutoka mikoani kwa nia ya kufanya fujo jimboni Kalenga nyakati za kampeni.

Mangula ambaye amewasili mjini Iringa, leo, Machi 3, 2013, akiwa tayari kuingia katika jimbo la Kalenga, ambako alisema atapiga kambi hadi Machi 16, mwaka huu uchaguzi ukapofanyika na CCM kuibuka Kidededea, alisema, CCM haina sababu ya kuingiza waovu jimboni kwa kuwa siyo jadi yake na inatambua thamani ya amani kuwepo katika eneo lolote.

"CCM inatambua umuhimu wa amani mahala popote, na kwa bahati nzuri mimi binafsi ninao uzoefu na mifano mingi kuhusu madhara ya kutoweka amani hivyo kama kiongozi na mratibu wa kampeni za CCM katika jimbo hili la Kalenga siwezi kuruhusu CCM kufanya mambo ya kijinga kiasi hicho", alisema Mangula na kuongeza;

"Wakati Chadema wanajaribu kujikosha kwa wananchi kwa kulia machozi ya mamba, sisi tumeshajua kwamba chama hicho kimeingiza mamluki kumi kutoka nje ya Iringa ikiwemo Tarime na Temeke, na kuwatawanya katika kata

mbalimbali. Na hili sisi tunalisema kwa ushahidi wa kutosha, tunawajua mamluki hao na hata majina yao tunayo...tunasubiri kuchukua hatua za kisheria kabla ya kuwataja".

Katika hatua nyingine, Mangula alilaani hatua ya Chadema kutumia ufukara wa mtoto mmoja na familia yake, kuombea kura kwa wananchi katika kampeni zake zinazoendelea za kumnadi mgombea wa chama hicho katika jimbo la Kalenga, akisema kwamba hatua hiyo, mbali na kwamba siyo sahihi katika siasa lakini ni kumfadhililisha mtoto huyo umasikini wake.

"Hawa Chadema hawana utu kabisa, inawezekanaje Meneja wa kampeni wa chama hicho anambeba mtoto wa mtu na kumnadi kwa wananchi kwamba amevaa sare chakavu za shule na kwamba ni kiongozi wa CCM. Hili jambo limetusikitisha sana kwa sababu ni kuivunjia heshima CCM na pia kumdhalililisha mtoto huyu kwa umasikini wake", alisema Mangula alionyesha picha iliyochapishwa kwenye gazeti la Tanzania Daima, Meneja wa kampeni za Chadema akiwa amembeba mtoto aliyevaa nguo chakavu za shule.

Mangula aliwataka wana-CCM katika jimbo la Kalenga kutokuwa na hofu yoyote, wakati wa kampeni na siku ya kupiga kura kwa sababu anaamini ulinzi wa serikali upo wa kutosha.

Akizungumza na baadhi ya viongozi wa CCM mkoa wa Iringa, Mangula aliwataka kutumia muda wa kampeni kuwajulisha wana-CCM na wananchi kwa jumla kwamba wanayemnadi kushinga ubunge si Godfrey Mgimwa, bali ni CCM ndiyo inayowania kiti hicho

LEO NIMEKUTANA NA 'REGEND' JUMA IKANGAA...!

t

Nilikutana nae mitaa ya kati, Kariakoo leo mchana. Nikamwambia kaka yangu Juma Ikaangaa, mshindi wa medali ya fedha Commonwealth games, Brisbane Australia, 1982, mshindi wa nafasi ya kwanza New York Marathon, na mshindi wa mara tatu Boston Marathon, kwamba leo mimi niko fiti zaidi kuliko yeye, tukianza mbio mimi na yeye, tutoke Kariakoo hadi Magomeni,basi, nitakuwa wa kwanza kufika Magomeni wakati yeye akihangaika Jangwani...!

Tuache utani, Juma Ikangaa ni mmoja wa wanariadha walioliletea taifa hili sifa kubwa na kuitangaza Tanzania. Nakumbuka mwaka 1982 nilisoma makala Daily News iliyonisisimua sana kuhusu alichokifanya Juma Ikangaa, Brisbane, Australia, kwenye michuano ya Madola. Mwandishi mzungu aliandika, kuwa kule Brisbane, kwa jinsi Ikangaa alivyokimbia, walimwita Juma Ikanga-kangaroo! Leo nilimkumbusha Ikangaa hilo, alifurahi sana.

Na nikamwuliza Ikangaaa, hivi kweli, hii leo kama nchi, mbona hatuonekani kuwa tuna safari ya kwenda Glasgow, Scotland, kwenye Commonwealth games inayoanza July 3, 2014. Halafu tutakuja kulaumiana kuwa tumepeleka watalii watakaorudi mikono mitupu, bila hata medali za mbao!

Ikangaa naye hakuwa na majibu, bali kuonyesha masikitiko yake kwa jinsi miaka hii kusivyokuwa na umakini katika maandalizi, kulinganisha na wakati wake.
