𝗪𝐎𝐑𝐋𝐃 𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐒 𝐃𝐀𝐘⁣
⁣
⁣
On November 14th every year all over the world, we celebrate World Diabetes Day.⁣
⁣
It is a day set apart to raise awareness about Diabetes among the general public. There are usually diabetes-targeted medical outreaches, seminars, etc.⁣
⁣
While setting apart a day to create awareness about diabetes; its prevention, complications and⁣
treatment options is a laudable feat and have made a huge difference, it is not nearly enough.⁣
⁣
⁣
In my opinion, Diabetes awareness should not be an annual program, it should be a daily one.⁣
⁣
⁣
There is still a lot of ignorance and misconceptions surrounding a disease that is rapidly eating up our populations both locally and globally, a disease that is best described as an epidemic.⁣
⁣
⁣
Luckily, the situation is not all doom and gloom. With effective and consistent health education, aimed at equipping the populace and dispelling myths and misconceptions, diabetes will be⁣
handled and its negative consequences greatly controlled.⁣
⁣
⁣
This is why I was thrilled when I saw that 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝗪𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐 𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.⁣
⁣
⁣
The fact is: the power to prevent and control diabetes does not specifically lie in the hands of doctors, It lies in the hands of individuals like you and me.⁣
⁣
⁣
Diabetes Self management and⁣
prevention is the proven way to knock this disease out.⁣
⁣
⁣
Any strategy that is not aimed at giving this power back to the people will only succeed in being a temporary success.⁣
⁣
⁣
The greatest threat against our people is ignorance and the most potent weapon against ignorance is Knowledge (accurate information).⁣
⁣
⁣
This is why I have dedicated my practise to educating the public about practical steps to prevent, identify and control diabetes.⁣
⁣
⁣
This is also why I urge you to do all you can to learn HOW TO DIABETES-PROOF YOUR FAMILY.⁣

🌀5 UNHEALTHY HABITS THAT PUT YOUR BODY IN HARM'S WAY🌀

1) Eating more refined/artificial foods than natural ones.

Nearly all refined foods have their original nutrients stripped off.🍟🍔🌭🍕🍩🍦🍧🍧

Your body is no dump site. Treat it with some DIGNITY and RESPECT

2) You drink less than 2 litres of water daily, causing you to be dehydrated always

Infact, an adult male needs at least 3 litres of water daily while the female 2.5 litres. This is the least. There's always room for more

In case you didn't know, up to 60% of the human body is water.

The brain and the heart are composed of 73% water

The lungs, about 83%

Muscles and kidneys,79%

Skin, 64%

Even your bone carries about 31% of water

The less water you drink, the greater your chances of diseases like kidney stones, joint aches, constipation and many others.

Water can heal ! Water is life!! Drink more water!!!

Need I say more??? 🤷

3) Sugar! Sugar!! Sugar!!!

I'm talking about your white/refined sugars here

You overburden your body with excessive amount of sugar, way more than it needs when you frequently take in those fizzy drinks, beers and packaged fruit juices every now and then.

If you can do away with them, great. If you can't, start reducing the amount you consume

4)Not moving your body.

Contrary to the popular belief, exercises are not meant for only those who want to lose weight.

A fat person who exercises regularly can be fitter than a slim person who doesn't. Yeah 😉.

Exercise keeps you fit and keeps your heart and muscles in good shape

You can begin with just walking 20-30mins daily, dance to your favorite music ,etc. It's not a must to exercise at the gymnasium

5) Not including vegetables and at least 2 portions of fruits daily in diet.

Make your food colorful.🍉🍎🥝🥒🥑🌽🥦🌶️🍋🍈🍓 Add the greens most importantly

Bonus: Not having adequate amount of sleep and rest.
A good number of us are lying on this table especially Lagosians!

Get at least 7hours of sleep daily please.

Try.

Cheers to a happy October ending!❤️

November is looking so sweet already🍹

⁣
⁣
Y'all don't like to sleep🌚⁣
⁣
⁣
You think not sleeping makes you hardworking.
⁣
⁣
Sleep deprivation has been championed as a badge of honour for productivity by our society for so long.⁣
⁣
⁣
But this has been challenged by behavioural scientists who have shown through tons of research that sleep deprivation is an enemy of productivity.⁣
⁣
⁣
Studies have shown that sleep deprivation among workers can lead to:⁣
⁣
-Difficulty with concentration⁣
-Problems with organization⁣
-Impatience with others⁣
-Avoiding interactions with coworkers⁣
-Boredom⁣
-Decreased productivity and task performance⁣
-Absenteeism⁣
-Falling asleep at work⁣
-Increased risk of work accidents⁣
⁣
⁣
Sleep deprivation has been linked directly to increased motor accidents and poor grades in students.⁣
⁣
⁣
Sleep is nature's way of replenishing and resetting our brains and body.⁣
⁣
When we sleep, so many amazing things happen.⁣
⁣
⁣
We grow when we sleep.⁣
⁣
We heal when we sleep.⁣
⁣
We improve our memories when we sleep.⁣
⁣
We boost our immune systems when we sleep.⁣
⁣
We improve our focus and concentration when we sleep.⁣
⁣
We achieve emotional stability when we sleep.⁣
⁣
⁣
Sleep is a gift!⁣
⁣
Our energy is restored and replenished when we sleep.⁣
⁣
It is also important for disease prevention/reversal.⁣
⁣
⁣
Sleep, my people.⁣
⁣
Make it a prority.⁣
⁣
Every machine needs a shut-down period to cool off.⁣
⁣
You need 7-9 hours of shut down time.⁣
⁣
⁣
Sleep is a tool for wealth and productivity.⁣
⁣
⁣
The rich sleep!⁣
⁣
Don't let anybody tell you otherwise.⁣
⁣
⁣
Those that don't sleep pay a heavy price with their health.⁣
⁣
Longevity is the goal.⁣
⁣
The easiest way to beat your competition is to outlive them!⁣
⁣
⁣
God didn't create you to run around all day like a headless chicken.⁣
⁣
⁣
You are not a soldier ant, you are a human being.⁣
⁣
⁣
Even ants sleep.⁣
⁣
Plan your day, proritise sleep, be more efficient, be healthier and wealthier.⁣
⁣
⁣
Live and prosper, in good health!⁣

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐠𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This morning, we will be looking at a very interesting and even surprising topic.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝐆𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Your gut is your digestive system (stomach, intestines, etc) and frankly, what goes on there is amazing.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
In the gut, there are bacteria naturally living there.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
These bacteria play a huge role in your overall health.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The type of bacteria you have there will either give you a healthy or unhealthy gut...⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣..and your gut health determines how healthy or sick YOU will be.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Shocking, isn't it?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I know.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Sometimes, nature shocks us all.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The state of your gut is directly linked to your immune system, risk of heart disease, depression, anxiety, type 2 diabetes, sleep problems, cancers and autoimmune diseases disease(where the body begins to attack itself).⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So, it is one that we must take seriously.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
What are the behaviours that mess up the gut?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
1) Too much stress⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2) Eating too much over processed foods and too much sugar ⁣⁣
(bread, Coke and cereal lovers, take note!😂)⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
3) Not sleeping enough⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
4) Taking antibiotics: Never take Flagyl or any other antibiotic unless prescribed by your doctor.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣
Once you are done with your antibiotics, restore your gut health by eating foods that boost it.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐠𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
1) Fermented foods: yoghurt, garri, iru, pap etc.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2) Foods high in fibre: Foods as unprocessed as possible, close to their natural state.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣
Examples: vegetables and whole fruits, ofada rice, local brown rice, yam, beans etc.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
3) You may also take a probiotic supplement.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Now that you know this, never stop practising it.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣
The rewards of a healthy gut are life-changing.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Good morning ❤️

𝗪𝐇𝐘 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐄𝐗𝐄𝐑𝐂𝐈𝐒𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐆𝐔𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐘⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣

Yesterday, I made a post about how exercise alone won't help you lose weight. This is because contrary to popular belief, exercise does not burn so many calories per time.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Research has shown that exercise alone may have been enough to lose weight 𝘐𝘍 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘯 𝘶𝘯𝘶𝘴𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
However, most people cannot tolerate that level of intensity.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
So, the first rule of weight loss is CALORIE-DEFICIT: Eating fewer calories than you use.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
So, now you may ask: Is exercise useless in weight management? ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
The answer is NO.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
-Exercise helps your body to burn calories and when combined with eating fewer calories, it works wonders, helping you lose weight (all things considered).⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
-Then, when you have lost weight, exercise helps you to maintain the weight loss.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Yeah, to keep the fat from coming back, you need a regular exercise routine to continue to burn off calories, increase your metabolism and build lean muscle which helps with fat burn.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Also, apart from weight loss, exercise has so many other benefits which include: ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
-Exercise helps to prevent and control diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
-Regular exercise has been found by research, to reduce the risk of breast and colon cancers.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
-It also improves your mood, relieving feelings of anxiety and depression⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
-Regular exercise boosts your confidence and physical looks.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
-It also boosts the immune system.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I hope that you can now see clearly the reasons why you should make exercise a part of your lifestyle.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
It is simply fantastic!!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Simple exercises for at least 30 mins daily for 5 days a week will give you these benefits (you can start small and grow from there)⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
-Brisk walking⁣⁣⁣
-Dancing⁣⁣⁣
-Jogging⁣⁣⁣
-Skipping⁣⁣⁣
-Cycling etc.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
𝘈𝘴 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘢𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯, 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘸𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘭𝘺.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
This is for both men and women.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Lifting weights helps your body to build lean muscle and strength which are very important to prevent disease, especially in old age.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
And no, lifting weights won't make you look like a man.⁣⁣⁣
Becoming overly muscular would require other factors besides just lifting weights.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
So, what are you waiting for?😄⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Add exercise to your schedule today.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Good morning ❤️

Smoking And Drinking: Top 10 Health Hazards.

When done regularly, smoking and drinking can cause serious complications in the body. It is thus important to be aware of the health hazards they cause.

Highlights
* Smoking and drinking can cause erectile dysfunction
* They two habits can increase incidence of heart disease
* Smoking causes cancer

Smoking and drinking are two habits which are considered to be a part of high-risk lifestyle factors. The two are extremely harmful to your health.

There is hardly any disease you mention, and alcohol and smoking will be the causative factors of that disease.
The two habits have got a lot of negative criticism from the health industry and that is only for the well-being of people.
When done regularly, they can cause serious complications in the body. It is thus important to be aware of these health hazards caused by smoking and drinking as they will help you to quit.

Below are some the diseases associated with smoking and drinking alcohol.

1. Erectile dysfunction
For getting er****on, males need a steady flow of blood flowing through the p***s. An interruption in the blood flow leads to erectile dysfunction. Excessive consumption of alcohol and regular smoking can lead to erectile dysfunction.

2. Emphysema
Emphysema is a condition in which the lungs lose their elasticity and makes it more difficult for a person to breathe. Lungs are pliable and the body needs them to be elastic and flexible in order to breathe properly. However, the damaged caused by regular smoking is such that it comprises the elasticity of lungs and leads to emphysema. In this condition, even minimal exertion can lead to heavy breathing. Studies say that a majority of emphysema cases are caused because of smoking.

3. Wrinkles on skin
Smoking is something which negatively impacts every part of the body. Ni****ne and other harmful chemicals in ci******es can damage collagen and elastin in skin, which can lead to premature wrinkling. Premature wrinkling can happen on any part of the body, including face and arms.

4. High blood pressure
Excessive drinking and smoking can make you more prone to risks of high blood pressure. High blood pressure can increase risk of heart disease. According to American Heart Association, if high blood pressure is left untreated, it can lead to cognitive heart failure, kidney damage, heart attack, stroke and loss of vision.

5. Smoking impacts digestive system
Regular smokers are prone to risks of cancers of mouth, larynx, oesophagus, throat and pancreatic cancer. People who smoke and don't inhale are at risks of mouth cancer. Smoking can increase insulin resistance, which makes you more prone to type 2 diabetes.

6. Lung cancer
Smoking causes cancer. This disclaimer is written in all cigarette boxes and displayed in numerous public spaces to make people more aware of the health hazards of smoking. One of the leading risk factors of lung cancer is smoking and passive smoking. Passive smoking is done when you breathe smoke from other people. Smoke from ci******es can stay in the room for hours even after the smoker has left.

7. Liver cirrhosis
Liver is one of the major organs in the body, which is responsible for production of bile. Bile helps in breakdown of fat in the body. Liver also helps in blood purification. If continued for too long, heavy drinking can cause massive damage to liver. It can even lead to liver cirrhosis, which is a condition which slowly deteriorates liver quality and causes its malfunctioning because of chronic injury.

8. Respiratory system
Apart from the emphysema and lung cancer, smoking can damage respiratory system by causing diseases such as chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. Furthermore, withdrawal symptoms of smoking can cause temporary congestion, coughing, wheezing and respiratory discomfort.

9. High cholesterol
Cholesterol is something which is produced naturally in the liver and is used in the body for production of hormone and cells. Any increase in consumption of alcohol can lead to formation of plaque in the arteries and obstruct flow of blood to the heart. Furthermore, smoking damages walls of blood vessels and lowers level of HDL (good) cholesterol in the body. High levels of cholesterol can increase risks of heart attack, stroke, heart failure and much more.

10. Smoking impacts central nervous system
Ni****ne in ci******es reaches your brain and makes you feel more energised initially and then makes you feel tired and crave for more. Ni****ne is the major reason why people experience difficulty in quitting smoking. Withdrawal symptoms of smoking involve impaired cognitive function, anxiety, irritation and depression.

DR, HOW CAN I KNOW IF I HAVE CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE?


After my last post on how to prevent chronic kidney disease, a lot of people asked me what the symptoms are.

It is a very important question and I'm happy to answer.
Studies have shown that only 10% of people with chronic kidney disease know that they do.

This is because most people do not have any symptoms in the early stages of the disease.

Symptoms usually appear when a lot of the kidney cells are dead and can no longer carry out their functions.

Also, many of the symptoms are general and a person may dismiss them as being from another source.

These symptoms may include:
- Unexplained tiredness and fatigue
-Foamy urine
-Back pain
-Swollen ankles and puffy eyes
-Blood in the urine
-Abnormal frequent urination
-Dry, itchy skin
-Poor appetite.


As you can see, most of these symptoms can be overlooked.
So, when it comes to kidney disease, it is best to prevent it.

Also, because hypertension and diabetes are the 2 leading causes, you must check your BP and Blood sugar regularly.
If any problem is found, you should endeavour to get them under control.

If you are at risk of diabetes and hypertension, do kidney tests yearly (Every black adult should do this).
Lastly, if you are overweight, this puts you at risk of diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease etc. Choose a healthy, sustainable way to lose weight.

Chronic kidney disease is fast becoming a huge problem.
Over 20 million adults are affected in Nigeria alone ( Nigerian Association of Nephrologists).

If discovered early, a lot can be done to delay progression and possibly, save the kidneys.

Take control of your health.
Create your own personal health economy.

Good morning ❤️
