SITTING IS THE NEW SMOKING!!!

Yes, you read that right.

You may not smoke, but if you sit for hours without moving, you're silently damaging your health just like a smoker.

Long periods of sitting:

Slow down your metabolism.

Increase your risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, stroke.

Are linked to back pain, poor posture, and even cancer.

May cut years off your life.

It’s killing us slowly. At the office, on the couch, in the car.

How to Fight the Sit-Death Trap:

Get up every 30–60 minutes even just to stretch.

Use a standing desk or improvise with boxes

Take walk-and-talk calls

Set a reminder: “MOVE” every hour

Stretch your hips, back and shoulders daily

Your chair is not your friend. Too much sitting is the silent killer of our generation.

Move like your life depends on it because it actually does.

Diabetes remission, specifically in type 2 diabetes, is when blood sugar levels return to a non-diabetic range (below 6.5% HbA1c for at least three months) without the need for diabetes medication. It's important to note that remission doesn't mean a cure, and ongoing monitoring is still recommended.

Here are a list of investigations you should be on a look out for when in diabetes remision.

1) Blood sugar monitoring and HbA1C. Six monthly or at least once a year.

2) Eye exams: Once yearly/ depending on the results of previous exams.

3) Blood pressure: Regularly every 3 months is fine.

4) Lipid panel and Kidney function test: Once yearly or depending on the previous results.

5) Weight: Check your weight regularly. Someone in diabetes remission should maintain the weight that helped him/her achieve remission because a sudden increase in weight can lead bring back diabetes ( weight loss is a major component in achieving remission).

Have You Heard of the Menstrual Bracelet?

It’s simple. It’s smart. And every girl should have one.

A menstrual bracelet is a colorful, wearable tool used to track your menstrual cycle, especially helpful for teens, new learners, or anyone wanting a natural way to understand their body.

How Does It Work?

The bracelet usually has 28 beads, each representing one day of the menstrual cycle. A red bead marks the first day of your period. A movable band or ring helps you count each day forward.

Days 1–5: Your period
Days 6–11: Dry or safe days
Days 12–16: Fertile window (ovulation time)
Days 17–28: Pre-menstrual phase

Every day, you move the ring(charm) one bead forward. Just like that, you're learning your cycle no app, no guesswork, no shame.

Why Is It Important?

Helps girls understand their body
Builds confidence and body awareness
Supports menstrual health education
Encourages early conversations about fertility and self-care
Affordable, discreet, and reusable

For girls just starting their period, parents looking for a simple way to teach their daughters period tracking, this is a game-changer. It turns confusion into clarity, fear into confidence.

Every girl deserves to understand her body.
Every girl should own a menstrual bracelet.

Would you like to get one for yourself or a girl you care about? Drop a ❤️ or message us.

💔 A Baby Fighting Alone… Because of What Her Parents Didn't Know.

Last week, I consulted a fragile little infant brought in by her grandmother.

She was breathing fast, restless, and weak. A complication of heart failure triggered by sickle cell disease (SCD).

Her mother? Gone.

She gave birth and disappeared, leaving the baby with her mom. No phone calls. No visits. She doesn’t even know her child is battling a life-threatening condition.

This story breaks my heart, but it is not uncommon. 💔

What is Sickle Cell Disease?

Sickle cell is a genetic blood disorder. It’s passed on when both parents carry the sickle cell trait (AS). If both carry the trait, there’s a 1 in 4 chance their child will be SS (sickle cell disease).

SCD is a condition that causes painful crises, frequent illness, organ damage, and can be fatal without proper care.

Babies born with sickle cell face lifelong health challenges. Many don’t even make it past childhood not because there’s no help, but because there was no prevention.

The tragedy? This could have been prevented with a simple genotype test before pregnancy or marriage.

If you don’t know your genotype, please go and check. It’s fast. It’s affordable. And it could save a child’s life.

Dear young girl, dear parent, dear community
Please, don’t wait until a child is born to discover what could have been avoided.

Let’s stop the cycle of pain. Let’s educate ourselves. Let’s act early. Know your genotype. Encourage your partner to do the same. Let it be part of your identification.

Visit the nearest hospital or lab today. Knowing your genotype is not just for you, it’s for your future children too.

Are you always sleepy after eating and wonder why this is so?

While some theories link Postprandial somnolence or feeling sleepy after meals to shunting of blood from the brain to the gut, this is partly true.

Here are 4 reasons why you feel sleepy after meals.

1) The type of food you eat. If your meal is largely made up of carbohydrates like 3 large corn fufu plus small njama njama with little or no proteins, you will feel sleepy after eating.

2) Eating large sizes of meals at once. Some people when they miss a meal, they have to revenge and eat twice the quantity to cover up.

3) Taking alcohol with meals. Alcohol is already associated with increase sleepiness. Taking it with meal will more likely make you tired.

4) An underlying health condition like diabetes, anxiety and depression, anemia etc.

What is FASTING to you? A religious ritual or a healthy routine?

To me, it's both.

Aside the religious benefits of fasting, here are some healthy benefits of fasting.

And there's a very simple way to fast. If you are an eat breakfast at 7am kind of person, initially it will be tough but few more days to it, you will get familiar with it.

You delay your breakfast till 11am.

Eat your last meal at 7pm.

Therefore you will only eat between 11am and 7pm window daily.

This will mean, you fast daily for 16 hours and eat within an 8hour window

This is the 16:8 method of intermittent fasting.

If this can be your lifestyle, you will notice tremendous results coupled with healthy and portion control meals.

Have you ever wondered what this is?

This is not dirt, neither is it associated with being dirty. No amount of scrubbing will get rid of it.

This dark velvety patch found in body folds and creases like the neck and armpits is called

Acanthosis Nigricans

It is an indicator of insulin resistance (inability of the body to respond to insulin properly)

Insulin is a hormone that converts the glucose in your blood to a storage form. When your body doesn't respond to it properly, your blood glucose will become elevated which will result to diabetes.

If you aren't diabetic or obese and have this, it is time to start taking healthy decisions because this is a sign of pre-diabetes.

"Health is not valued till sickness comes."

When you are sick, the only thing that will matter at that point is to get well. Any way you hear a solution lies to your problem, you wouldn't mind taking all risk to get there.

I have seen it first hand. People travel far and near just to visit our hospitals because they were told their solution lies there.

Most times I pity those patients but that's what it is.

So, "Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live."

Optimize preventive health. It will save you ALOT.

Anything you need to do to stay healthy, do it with all you can.
