Mrs Shekinat Afolabi, a
senior civil servant,
does not look her age.
She radiates youth and
agility that bellies her
over 40 years on earth.
Her secret? ‘I have not
always been looking so
youthful. Not until a
year ago when I got know
about sesame oil.’
|
“Sesame oil
keeps you
ageless” |
She said she had learnt
about the medicinal
benefits of the oil but
never experienced it
until then. “So when I
learnt that Spectra is
producing it, I started
to tell my friends of
its benefits.” This is,
of course, in addition
to her usage of it. “The
more I use Spectra’s
sesame oil, the more
sure I am of its
benefits.” Stretching
forth her hands, she
said: “Look at my skin;
I rob it on it daily.”
And is she fresher for
it? Definitely! “I’m
enough reason to
encourage my friends and
colleagues at work to
switch over to the oil,”
she added. |
Apart from using it as
body cream, Mrs. Afolabi
also drinks sesame oil
every other day. She
takes one teaspoonful.
She said she noticed
that since she has
started to drink the
oil, she has ceased to
have constipation, an
ailment she used to have
before. She also uses it
to relieve pains.
“For example, I apply
one or two drops inside
the ears of my children
when they complain of
ear pain. I, in fact,
rub the oil on any part
of the body that is
painful. For food, this
senior civil servant
uses sesame oil to dress
salad often.” I normally
add a little and mix it
with the salad. The
result is great. It adds
a nice taste to the
salad. If not for cost,
I would have been using
it to prepare soup.
“She, nevertheless,
still makes use of it to
prepare fish.” After all
is done, I add a little
oil to the soup. The
taste is something else.
I would have tried if on
other soups but for the
cost.”
Notwithstanding the
cost, this madam called
on all to use the sesame
oil because ”it is
medicinal and a tonic
for the body. If you are
above 30years of age,
you need it. It helps in
fighting infections as
it acts like an
antioxidant.” |
