🧬Know Your Roots: Embrace the Truth this Easter 🎁
DNA PATERNITY TESTING

All over Bamenda city and many other parts of Cameroon, family ties are at the heart of our culture, but sometimes uncertainties can cast shadows over these bonds. That's why we're launching our groundbreaking campaign within the town of Bamenda to shed light on the importance of DNA paternity testing for every family. "Know Your Roots: Embrace the Truth with DNA Paternity Testing" aims to empower individuals and families to embrace the truth and strengthen family bonds.

Every family deserves the assurance of certainty. DNA paternity testing isn't just a scientific procedure; it's a pathway to truth, understanding, and unity. We understand the significance of family in our culture, and we believe that every individual deserves the peace of mind that comes with knowing their origins.

1. Peace of Mind: 🌿💤
DNA paternity testing provides irrefutable evidence, offering peace of mind to both parents and children. Knowing the truth can alleviate doubts and uncertainties, fostering healthier family relationships.

2. Legal and Social Implications ⚖️
In addition to personal peace of mind, DNA testing holds significant legal and social implications. It ensures accurate inheritance rights ("chop-chair"), access to better healthcare (managing hereditary diseases), and other social benefits (quick visa approvals). Moreover, it helps prevent potential legal disputes in matters of child custody and support.

3. Health Insights 🩸🧬
Understanding genetic heritage through DNA testing can unveil valuable health insights. Knowledge of familial health history enables proactive healthcare decisions, potentially preventing hereditary illnesses and promoting overall well-being.

4. Break Stigma and Taboo 🔨🤐
Across many tribes and cultures, discussing paternity testing may carry stigma or taboo. However, embracing this technology breaks down barriers and promotes open dialogue within families and communities. It's about fostering honesty and understanding rather than judgment or social media wahala.

5. Spread the Word: 📢
Encourage friends and family to go for DNA paternity testing, we can fortify our foundations with truth, trust, and love.

Managing Minor Injuries During the Festive Season
Here comes the season to be jolly, but accidents can happen even in the midst of holiday cheer. As we gear up for a festive Christmas season, it's essential to be prepared for the unexpected. Here are some tips on managing minor health injuries so you can keep the holiday spirit alive and well.

1. First Aid Essentials: A Christmas Must-Have 🩹
Make sure your holiday checklist includes basic first aid supplies. Bandages, antiseptic wipes, pain relievers, and adhesive tape can go a long way in managing minor cuts, scrapes, and bruises. Keep a well-stocked first aid kit in an easily accessible place, so you can address injuries promptly.

2. Safety First, Decoration Second 🚑
Deck the halls with safety in mind! Ensure that your Christmas decorations are secure and won't pose a hazard. Tangled lights, unstable trees, and poorly positioned ornaments can lead to slips, trips, and falls. Create a festive atmosphere without compromising safety to minimize the risk of accidents.

3. In the Kitchen: Cook Up Safety 🍲
Whether it is chinchin or fried chicken, the power-house is the heart of holiday celebrations, but it can also be a hotspot for accidents. Practice safe cooking habits, use caution when handling hot dishes, and be cautious with sharp knives. Minor burns and cuts can happen, so keep a cold compress and sterile bandages nearby.

4. Stay Hydrated, Stay Healthy 💧
Here is the math: Christmas + New year = Dry Season. Stay hydrated to avoid heat-related issues. Dehydration can lead to dizziness and fainting, so encourage everyone to drink plenty of water, especially if you're spending time outdoors or engaging in physical activities.

5. Mind Your Step: Social Adventures 🏞️
If your Christmas plans parties and clubs, mind your step: eat and drink in moderation. Also read our previous article on "CAMEROONIAN TEENAGE GIRLS - 5 HEALTHY TIPS FOR BETTER HEALTH." published on August 4th 2023.

6. Know When to Seek Professional Help 🏥

That saying, we won't be doing justice if we draw the curtains without discussing the factors that put one at risk of diabetes.

DIABETES AWARENESS
🩺Author: Nforshi Hope Bahri

1. A family history; Having a family history of diabetes predisposes you to a greater chance of having the disease than someone with no family history.

2. A state of obesity and overweight; exposes you to a higher risk of developing the insulin-resistant form of diabetes.

3. Age; Type 1 diabetes usually develops before age 30, typically in children and adolescents. Type 2 diabetes can develop at any age.

4. Pregnancy; Some women get diabetes when pregnant. Having had gestational diabetes, you are more at risk of having it again. Gestational diabetes usually goes away after you give birth, however, it increases your risk for type 2 diabetes. Your baby is more likely to have obesity as a child or teen and to develop type 2 diabetes later in life.

5. Having given birth to a baby who weighed more than 4kg is another risk.

6. Physical Inactivity; Exercising less than 3 times a week puts you at a higher risk.

7. Unhealthy diet;

Now that we know some of the factors that place you at risk, how can we respond to them?

💢In case of being overweight or obese, you can work on your weight to ensure that your body mass index is within the normal range.

💢 Become more regularly active.

💢 Eat healthy.

When not detected and treated early, diabetes can lead to serious and potentially life-threatening complications like heart failure, problems of vision, chronic kidney disease, and stroke.
For people at risk of type 2 diabetes, knowing your risk and what to do is important to support prevention, early diagnosis, and timely treatment.
