It's two 'o' clock in the afternoon, you're stuck in Lagos traffic, you're trying to force your legs to take you home after lectures or you have eaten very peppery/spicy food, the impulse is to find the nearest water vendor and purchase one or two sachets of cold water or any bottle of chilled icy beverage you can afford. At that point, nothing seems wrong with it right?

Now while that may be forgivable, frequent or regular consumption of cold drinks is actually harmful to your health. This is particularly in the area of food digestion. After consumption of fatty foods like say egwusi soup, digestion will take longer than if you take normal temperature water or warm water. This is because cold water constricts the blood vessels and tends to lower the inner body temperature. The body then prioritizes restoring normal body temperature(36.1°C-37.2°C) over digestion. Once digestion is affected, constipation will likely occur.

More so, consuming very cold water or beverages often and on can be detrimental to your dental health. Ever noticed that somewhat painful sensation in your gums or between your teeth the instant cold water enters your mouth?

Furthermore, even though there is limited evidence to prove this, It has been observed that flu symptoms are increased with cold water. Especially drinking it in a cold weather. You notice nasal blockage, sneezing etc. Cold water can also slow down your heart rate.

As mentioned earlier, cold water slows down the digestion of fat, hardening or solidifying it hence preventing the body from breaking down fat appropriately.

Summarily, even though cold water gives this awesome satisfaction after strenuous jobs or on a very hot day, it is not safe to take it often. Substitute between cold, normal and warm water from time to time. Warm water has it's own downsides too. The main one being that it can make you less thirsty. This can be very terrible on a very hot day or when your body is dehydrated and needs sufficient water. All in all, normal water is preferred. Take cold, but only when absolutely necessary. Our own part of the world is the tropics so it seems it's almost always necessary. Nevertheless, don't take it too often.

Whatever you do, always stay well hydrated. Thank you for reading.

In this article, I will be showing you ten reasons why most marriages don't last anymore:

1. People marry for the wrong reasons. For example a woman marries a man because of his physical looks and financial status.

2. Marrying out of emotions without love.

3. Infidelity is another reason why most relationship or marriages don't last longer.

4. Uncontrollable ego (confidence). This means someone to feel to pompous thinking he/she is right.

5. When a partner begins to become dishonest the marriage will crash.

6. When you begin in invade your partner's privacy.

7. When you begin to display some levels of selfishness and greed in the marriage.

8. Poor communication between couples leads to a divorce.

9. Exposing the weakness of your spouse to another third party.

10. Poor sexual marital life is another cause of marriage failure.

BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson (Nicknamed Lawro) is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches this season, against a variety of guests.

This weekend, he is up against singer, rapper, Afrobeat star and Manchester United fan Rema.

Rema - real name Divine Ikubor - has followed United since he was a boy growing up in Benin City, Nigeria, and got to know their star players by playing video games with his older brother.

"I love United because of him," the 20-year-old told BBC Sport. "He used to play Fifa against me as United, and he would always win - so I always saw them as the winning team!

"We ended up having arguments over who would get to play as them - but, when I got the chance, I got attached to players like Carlos Tevez, Cristiano Ronaldo, Edwin van der Sar and Wayne Rooney, before I even saw them play in real life."

Rema has a good reason to ask for a rematch after some his songs were included in the soundtrack for Fifa 21 when it was released last month - but he might not pick United next time he plays.

"I know we're not doing so good at the moment," he added. "Not compared to those days anyway. The way things are going this season, I am not too happy."

Rema's biggest hit 'Dumebi' has been streamed more than 20m times on Spotify.

As well as United, Rema grew up watching Nigeria stars Jay-Jay Okocha and Nwankwo Kanu - although he was never able to pull off their kind of tricks himself.

"I used to play every day with my friends after school," he explained. "We would go and play barefoot in the field.

"Jay-Jay was my favourite. I idolised him and and I wanted to be a striker too, but sadly I would always end up in goal because I wasn't that good."
