Vanguard Press Board UDUS

By Abdullateef Bala Usman On Saturday evening October 20th, 2023, I unwillingly bid my phone farewell as it embarked on an unforeseen journey, one that would last until October 30, 2023. This sudden separation was a disconcerting experience for someone like me, a student whose daily life revolved around the convenience of a smartphone. Approximately 90% of my daily activities were conducted through that trusty device. It was a fateful night, a night in which I inadvertently transformed my phone into an unwitting mattress, leading to its ultimate surrender.

  By Wonderful Adegoke The origin of folic acid's role in red blood cell formation is rooted in the rich soil of scientific discovery. Starting with a simple observation of anemia in those with folic acid deficiency, scientists followed the trail of clues to uncover its essential role in keeping our red blood cells healthy and robust. It's a tale of discovery that spans decades and continents and has changed the way we understand nutrition and health. If you think about the most crucial things for a healthy body, you might think of food, water, or sleep. But there's another, often overlooked, key component- folic acid, without which our bodies would not function properly. Firstly identified in the 1930s, when researchers discovered that a deficiency in diet led to anemia. They named it 'folic acid' due to its foliage- green leafy vegetables like spinach, lettuce, and kale. Later, scientists learned that folic acid is also found in other foods like citric fruits, bea...
