</tbody></table>
Persimmons are delicious and exotic fruits that do more than serving as a sweet and tasty treat; they have a wealth of health benefits packed inside them, including their ability to improve eye health, reduce signs of aging, prevent various types of cancer, improve digestion, boost your immune system, lower cholesterol, increase your metabolism, strengthen your bones, boost cognitive function, lower blood pressure, and take care of your skin.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, they can help your body heal faster, aid in weight loss, reduce inflammation, and increase blood circulation throughout the body.<br />
<br />
Originally from China, persimmon trees have been grown for thousands of years for their delicious fruit and beautiful wood.<br />
<br />
Their orange-colored fruits called persimmons are known for their sweet, honey-like flavor.<br />
While hundreds of types exist, the Hachiya and Fuyu varieties are among the most popular.<br />
<br />
The heart-shaped Hachiya persimmons are astringent, meaning they are very high in plant chemicals called tannins that give the unripe fruit a dry, bitter taste.<br />
This type of persimmon needs to be fully ripe before eating.<br />
<br />
Fuyu persimmons also contain tannins, but they are considered non-astringent. Unlike Hachiya persimmons, the crisp, tomato-shaped Fuyu variety can be enjoyed even when not completely ripe.<br />
<br />
Persimmons can be eaten fresh, dried or cooked and are commonly used around the world in jellies, drinks, pies, curries and puddings.<br />
<br />
Not only are persimmons tasty, they’re packed with nutrients that can benefit your health in several ways.<br />
Here are 7 benefits of persimmons, including how to incorporate them into your diet.<br />
<div class="css-0">
<h3>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="section1"></a> 1. Loaded With Nutrient</h3>
</div>
<div class="css-0">
In fact, one persimmon (168 grams) contains:<br />
<ul>
<li><strong>Calories:</strong> 118</li>
<li><strong>Carbs:</strong> 31 grams</li>
<li><strong>Protein:</strong> 1 gram</li>
<li><strong>Fat:</strong> 0.3 grams</li>
<li><strong>Fiber:</strong> 6 grams</li>
<li><strong>aVitamin A:</strong> 55% of the RDI</li>
<li><strong>cVitamin C:</strong> 22% of the RDI</li>
<li><strong>eVitamin E:</strong> 6% of the RDI</li>
<li><strong>kVitamin K:</strong> 5% of the RDI</li>
<li><strong>Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine):</strong> 8% of the RDI</li>
<li><strong>Potassium:</strong> 8% of the RDI</li>
<li><strong>Copper:</strong> 9% of the RDI</li>
<li><strong>Manganese:</strong> 30% of the RDI</li>
</ul>
Persimmons are also a good source of thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), folate, magnesium and phosphorus.<br />
<br />
These colorful fruits are low in calories and loaded with fiber, making them a weight loss-friendly food.<br />
<br />
Just one persimmon contains over half the recommended intake of vitamin A, a fat-soluble vitamin critical for immune function, vision and fetal development.<br />
<br />
Aside from vitamins and minerals, persimmons contain a wide array of plant compounds, including tannins, flavonoids and carotenoids, which can positively impact your health .<br />
<br />
The leaves of the persimmon fruit are also high in vitamin C, tannins and fiber, as well as a common ingredient in therapeutic teas.<br />
<blockquote>
<strong>Summary</strong> Persimmons are high in important vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, C and B, potassium and manganese. They also contain beneficial plant compounds like tannins and flavonoids.</blockquote>
<h3>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="section2"></a> 2. Excellent Source of Powerful Antioxidants</h3>
Persimmons contain beneficial plant compounds that have antioxidant qualities.<br />
Antioxidants help prevent or slow cell damage by counteracting oxidative stress, a process triggered by unstable molecules called free radicals.<br />
<br />
Oxidative stress has been linked to certain chronic diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, cancer and neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s .<br />
<br />
Fortunately, consuming antioxidant-rich foods like persimmons can help fight oxidative stress and may decrease the risk of certain chronic diseases.<br />
<br />
Diets high in flavonoids, which are powerful antioxidants found in high concentrations in the skin and flesh of persimmons, have been linked to lower rates of heart disease, age-related mental decline and lung cancer .<br />
<br />
Persimmons are also rich in carotenoid antioxidants like beta-carotene, a pigment found in many brightly colored fruits and vegetables.<br />
<br />
Studies have linked diets high in beta-carotene to a lower risk of heart disease, lung cancer, colorectal cancer and metabolic disease.<br />
<br />
Additionally, a study in over 37,000 people found that those with a high dietary intake of beta-carotene had a significantly reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes .<br />
<blockquote>
<strong>Summary</strong> Persimmons are an excellent source of powerful antioxidants like carotenoids and flavonoids. Diets rich in these compounds have been linked to a reduced risk of certain diseases, including heart disease and diabetes.</blockquote>
<h3>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="section3"></a> 3. May Benefit Heart Health</h3>
Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide and negatively impacts the lives of millions of people.<br />
<br />
Fortunately, most types of heart disease can be prevented by reducing risk factors, such as an unhealthy diet.<br />
<br />
The powerful combination of nutrients found in persimmons makes them an excellent choice for boosting heart health.<br />
<br />
Persimmons contain flavonoid antioxidants, including quercetin and kaempferol.<br />
<br />
For example, a study in over 98,000 people found those with the highest intake of flavonoids had 18% fewer deaths from heart-related issues, compared to those with the lowest intake .<br />
<br />
Diets high in flavonoid-rich foods can support heart health by lowering blood pressure, reducing “bad” LDL cholesterol and decreasing inflammation.<br />
<br />
What’s more, the tannins that give unripe persimmons their mouth-puckering bitterness may lower blood pressure.<br />
<br />
Many animal studies have shown that tannic acid and gallic acid, both found in persimmons, are effective at lowering high blood pressure, a major risk factor for heart disease.<br />
<blockquote>
<strong>Summary</strong> Persimmons contain flavonoid antioxidants and tannins, which benefit heart health by reducing blood pressure, lowering inflammation and decreasing cholesterol levels.</blockquote>
<h3>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="section4"></a> 4. May Help Reduce Inflammation</h3>
Conditions like heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, cancer and obesity are all linked to chronic inflammation.<br />
<br />
But luckily, choosing foods that are high in anti-inflammatory compounds can help reduce inflammation and lower disease risk.<br />
<br />
Persimmons are an excellent source of the potent antioxidant vitamin C. In fact, one persimmon contains 20% of the recommended daily intake.<br />
<br />
Vitamin C helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals and combats inflammation in the body.<br />
<br />
Vitamin C reduces free radical damage by donating an electron to these unstable molecules, thus neutralizing them and preventing them from causing further harm.<br />
<br />
An eight-week study in 64 obese people found that supplementing with 500 mg of vitamin C twice daily significantly reduced levels of C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 .<br />
<br />
Plus, large studies have linked higher dietary intake of vitamin C to a reduced risk of inflammatory conditions like heart disease, prostate cancer and diabetes.<br />
Persimmons also contain carotenoids, flavonoids and vitamin E, all of which are potent antioxidants that fight inflammation in the body.<br />
<blockquote>
<strong>Summary</strong> Persimmons are rich in the powerful antioxidant vitamin C, which helps lower inflammation, a common cause of many diseases.</blockquote>
<h3>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="section5"></a> 5. Rich in Fiber</h3>
Therefore, having too much cholesterol, especially “bad” LDL cholesterol, can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke and heart attack.<br />
Foods high in soluble fiber, such as fruits and vegetables, can help lower high cholesterol levels by helping the body excrete excess amounts of it.<br />
One study found that adults who consumed cookie bars containing persimmon fiber three times a day for 12 weeks experienced a significant decrease in LDL cholesterol, compared to those who ate bars that did not contain persimmon fiber .<br />
Fiber is also important for regular bowel movements and can help reduce high blood sugar levels.<br />
Soluble fiber-rich foods like persimmons slow carbohydrate digestion and sugar absorption, which helps prevent blood sugar spikes.<br />
A study in 117 people with diabetes showed that increased consumption of soluble dietary fiber led to significant improvements in blood sugar levels.<br />
Plus, fiber helps fuel the “good” bacteria in your intestines, which can positively impact your digestive and overall health .<br />
<blockquote>
<strong>Summary</strong> Fiber-rich foods like persimmons can help lower cholesterol, reduce blood sugar levels and keep your digestive system healthy.</blockquote>
<h3>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="section6"></a> 6. Support Healthy Vision</h3>
Further more, Persimmons provide lots of vitamin A and antioxidants that are critical for eye health.<br />
In fact, one persimmon delivers 55% of the recommended intake of vitamin A.<br />
Vitamin A supports the functioning of the conjunctival membranes and cornea. Moreover, it is an essential component of rhodopsin, a protein necessary for normal vision .<br />
Persimmons also contain lutein and zeaxanthin, which are carotenoid antioxidants that promote healthy vision.<br />
Diets rich in lutein and zeaxanthin may reduce the risk of certain eye diseases, including age-related macular degeneration, a disease that impacts the retina and can cause vision loss .<br />
In fact, a study in over 100,000 people found that those who consumed the highest amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin had a 40% lower risk of developing age-related macular degeneration than those who consumed the least amounts.<br />
<blockquote>
<strong>Summary</strong> Persimmons are high in vitamin A, lutein and zeaxanthin — all nutrients that support healthy vision.</blockquote>
</div>
<div class="css-0">
<h3>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="section7"></a> 7. Delicious and Easy to Add to Your Diet</h3>
Also, Persimmons fruits can be added to a variety of dishes to provide an extra boost.<br />
In fact, they pair excellently with both sweet and savory foods.<br />
Hence, here are some ways to add persimmons to your diet:<br />
<ul class="hl-long-line">
<li>Slice persimmons onto a salad for a flavorful addition.</li>
<li>Top your morning yogurt or oatmeal with fresh or cooked persimmon for a burst of natural sweetness.</li>
<li>Roast persimmons in the oven and drizzle with honey for a tasty and healthy dessert.</li>
<li>Mix dried or fresh persimmon into muffin, bread or cake mix.</li>
<li>Combine with berries and citrus fruits for a delicious fruit salad.</li>
<li>Broil persimmon and serve with baked Brie for a tasty appetizer.</li>
<li>Bake persimmons with chicken or meat for a unique flavor combination.</li>
<li>Throw frozen persimmons into your favorite smoothie recipe for extra nutrients.</li>
<li>Slice and dry persimmons in the oven to make natural fruit strips.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<strong>Summary</strong> Persimmons taste great in both sweet and savory dishes, including oatmeal, meat dishes, baked goods and smoothies.</blockquote>
</div>
<div class="css-0">
<h3>
The Bottom Line</h3>
Finally, Persimmons are sweet, versatile fruits full of vitamins, minerals, fiber and beneficial plant compounds.<br />
What’s more, they may promote heart health, reduce inflammation, support healthy vision and keep your digestive system healthy.<br />
Plus, they are tasty and pair well with many foods.<br />
With all the benefits that persimmons have to offer, adding these tasty fruits to your diet should be a no-brainer.</div>

The National Science and Maths Quiz is an annual science and mathematics based national level quiz competition for senior high schools in Ghana. It has been produced by Primetime Limited, an advertising and PR Agency, with a huge interest in education, since 1993.<br />
<br />
The objective of the National Science & Maths Quiz has been to promote the study of the sciences and mathematics, help students develop quick thinking and a probing and scientific mind about the things around them, while fostering healthy academic rivalry among senior high schools.<br />
<br />
The quiz, popularly referred to as “brilla” by many who have gone through the secondary school system is by far one of the few academic events that bring all of Ghana’s secondary schools together. The schools and students look forward to it. The National Science and Maths Quiz is the longest running educational programme on a Ghanaian television. It is broadcast on GTV every Saturday at 11am and Wednesdays at 4pm.<br />
<br />
<b>Presbyterian Boys' Secondary School, Legon (PRESEC)</b> is the most successful school in the quiz so far. They are 5 time winners who have been to the finals 7 times, equaled only by Opoku Ware School which has not chalked that much success in the finals. Achimota School is the only unisex school to have won the competition so far. No female only school has ever won the competition. Only 11 schools out of the hundreds of Senior High Schools in Ghana have won the competition since its inception.<br />
<br />
From 2012, the GES, through the Conference of Heads of Assisted Schools, CHASS, took up the sponsorship of the programme. Thus, the competition was opened up to many more schools to participate. In 2013, 66 out of the 81 invited schools participated. In 2014, the number of schools was increased to 135 to give the programme a truly national character. From 2014, 108 schools are selected from regional competitions to join 27 seeded schools (quarter-finalists from the previous year's competition) at the National Championships.<br />
<br />
<b>Who We Are:</b><br />
The NSMQ is the longest-running independent production on television in Ghana. The programme is very popular with not only its main target group – Senior High School students – but also with parents and, especially, with former students (old boys and girls), who take great pride in the performance of their schools on this programme.  Indeed, the Saturday 11a.m. slot on GTV is synonymous with the NSMQ, as this has been the time slot for the programme since it first aired in 1994.<br />
<br />
<b>Our Objective:</b><br />
The objective of the National Science & Maths Quiz has been to promote the study of the sciences and mathematics, help students develop quick thinking and a probing and scientific mind about the things around them, while fostering healthy academic rivalry among senior high schools. Without a doubt, these aims have been achieved. The quiz, popularly referred to as “brilla” by many who have gone through the secondary school system is by far one of the few academic events that bring all of Ghana’s secondary schools together. The schools and students look forward to it.<br />

“Thank You Mr President” -Teacher Trainees Honour President Akufo-Addo

Thursday, May 10, 2018 ACCRA24.COM 0

<br />
<br />
The allowance was cancelled by the previous administration, citing challenges with the economy.<br />
<br />
At a colourful ceremony on Friday March 23, 2018 to mark the official launch of the restoration of the allowance, the leadership of TTAG presented a plaque to the President to express their appreciation in concrete terms.<br />
<br />
A citation accompanying the plaque read:<br />
<br />
“The Teacher Trainees Association of Ghana (TTAG) expresses its profound gratitude towards your immense contributions for the betterment of teacher education in Colleges of Education across the country, especially the restoration of the Teacher Trainees’ Allowance.<br />
<br />
“In view of this we present this citation to you and your government as a token of gratitude for prioritizing education as a major tool which will enhance quality education in general.<br />
<br />
“Generations will remember you for your effective role in quality teacher education.<br />
<br />
“May God bless you. ”<br />
<br />
Then-candidate Akufo-Addo and his party, the New Patriotic Party, promised, among others, to restore Teacher and Nursing trainee allowances if Ghanaians give him the opportunity to lead the nation in the December 2016 elections.<br />
<br />
True to his word, the President in his first budget, announced the restoration of the allowances (Ghs 400 per student every month they are in school), to the delight of the students.<br />
<br />
The Vice President, H.E. Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, who received the award on behalf of the President, assured the students and tutors of the NPP Government’s commitment to providing quality education for every Ghanaian, adding<br />
<br />
“This is another promise fulfilled. We have also restored Nursing trainee allowances, as promised. We promised to reduce electricity tarrifs, and we have done it. In the face of all the economic challenges, we still went ahead and introduced free senior high school education.  We have had one year and three months of fulfilled promises.<br />
<br />
“This is possible because we have prioritised education. We need a skilled workforce to transform this nation, and it can only be achieved with quality, enhanced education.<br />
<br />
“We will continue to invest a significant chunk of the nation’s resources to ensure we achieve the transformation of Ghana, in all spheres”.
<br />
