The Correct Way to Wash Your Workout Clothes

From your pricey sports bra to your fitness wears, I present you some of the best tips and products to get your sweaty stuff spanking clean in no time 

Your workout clothes need more care in the wash than your socks and tees. You sweat in them, and they also absorb all the oils and dead skin cells that come out of your body when you exercise. But while your workout duds dirty more than your normal wear, they’re also more delicate. In particular, the expensive fabrics used to make your wear stretchy and supportive react badly to two stuffs: fabric softener and detergent.

Recipe: Jamaican Cuisine

I saw these recipes on one of my favourite healthy foodie website and it’s finger licking good! They are recipes your family will love… I have heard that Jamaican dishes are to Nigerian’s thus I had to give these recipes a try, well not just a try, I have prepared them several times.

Jamaican Red Beans and Rice

Coconut milk, thyme, scallions and scotch bonnet peppers give this rice dish island flair! The perfect side dish to Jamaican Brown Stew Chicken, or enjoy this as a meatless  meal with a simple avocado and tomato salad on the side.

Rice and beans are a staple in most Caribbean and African countries especially Nigeria because they are not expensive and nutritious. Beans are an excellent source of fibre, protein and complex carbohydrates.

This meal is not spicy as the pepper is cooked whole for added flavour and is discarded before you finish cooking. Of course, if you want a spicy rice dish, you can chop the scotch bonnet and add it to the rice (I cooked mine this way), but caution, it will be hot!
