SLEEP PARALYSIS .

Have you ever woken up and felt like you couldn’t move or speak, like something heavy is pressing down on you?

That is called sleep paralysis.
During these times, your brain is awake, but your body hasn’t caught up yet.
This means you can’t move or talk, and it might feel like you’re stuck in place.

HOW IT HAPPENS
Sleep paralysis happens when your brain wakes up before your body does, leaving you in that “locked” state.

Some people also experience hallucinations during sleep paralysis, like feeling a presence in the room or sensing pressure on their chest.
This happens because your brain is partly dreaming, even though you’re awake!

WHAT CAUSES SLEEP PARALYSIS
It can be triggered by:
📌Not getting enough sleep
📌 High stress or anxiety
📌Sleeping on your back
📌Sudden changes in sleep habits.
📌Sleep apnea or narcolepsy

HOW TO PREVENT SLEEP PARALYSIS

📌Stick to a regular sleep schedule. Go to bed and wake up at about the same time every day, even on weekends.

📌Create a calm bedtime routine. Try reading a book or taking a warm bath.

📌Reduce stress. A calm mind means a better sleep!

📌Sleep on your side instead of your back, as lying on your back can make sleep paralysis more likely.

📌Avoid caffeine and heavy meals close to bedtime. This can improve the quality of your sleep and reduce the chances of waking up mid-sleep.

WHAT TO DO IF IT HAPPENS

📌Remind yourself that it’s temporary. It can feel intense, but it usually only lasts a few seconds to a minute.

📌Try to focus on moving a small part of your body, like your fingers or toes. This can help break the paralysis.

📌Slow, deep breaths can help calm you down until your body catches up and you’re able to move again.

While sleep paralysis can be unsettling, knowing what it is and how to manage it can make a huge difference.

Do you ever wonder why you have that bitter taste in your mouth when you're down with malaria?

Let me explain.

1. Malaria parasites target red blood cells, multiplying inside them and causing them to burst.

When these cells break open, they release toxins and waste into the blood.
This sudden release can trigger inflammation, altering how your taste buds perceive flavors, making everything taste bitter.

2. Your liver has the job of processing these released toxins.

When the liver is overworked due to the high load of toxins from malaria, it can struggle to maintain its normal function.
This can lead to an imbalance in bile production.
Bile is a digestive fluid, and when it builds up, it can cause a lingering bitter or metallic taste in your mouth.

3. Malaria often causes high fevers, leading to intense sweating and significant fluid loss.

As a result, you may become dehydrated, and your mouth can become dry.
With less saliva, there is less natural flushing of the mouth, which can amplify the bitter taste.
Staying hydrated helps to reduce this sensation.

4. Malaria doesn’t just affect the blood and liver; it can also cause widespread inflammation throughout the body.

This can make the taste buds more sensitive, especially to bitter flavors.
As a result, even mild flavors may come across as overwhelmingly bitter during the illness

5. Malaria can affect your digestive system, affecting how the liver and gut interact.

When the liver struggles to process waste, it can lead to a buildup of certain compounds that reach the mouth.
These compounds can further contribute to a persistent bitter taste. This makes the mouth a reflection of what’s happening inside you.

6.The bitter taste during malaria is a small but telling sign that your body is fighting a serious infection.

While it can be bothersome, it is a part of the recovery process. Focus on staying hydrated, following your treatment plan.

AFTER-SHAVE BUMPS

Tired of dealing with itchy bumps after shaving?

This post is for you!

WHY THEY OCCUR

These bumps form when shaved hair grows back into the skin, leading to redness, swelling, and sometimes pain

1.When you shave, the hair is cut very close to the surface of the skin.

2. For people with curly or coarse hair, the cut hair tends to curl back into the skin as it grows, which triggers irritation, inflammation, or even an infection in the hair follicle.

3. Not properly exfoliating before shaving can leave dead skin cells that trap hair follicles, promoting in-grown hairs.

4. Shaving against the direction of hair growth.

5. Applying too much pressure when shaving.

6. Using a dull / blunt razor, clipper or blade.

TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF RAZOR BUMPS ;

📍Use a sharp, clean razor to avoid dragging or pulling the hair.

📍Shave in the direction of hair growth to reduce irritation.

📍 Avoid a very close shave; leave a bit of stubble to prevent hair from curling back.

📍Use shaving cream or gel to soften hair and reduce friction.

📍 Exfoliate regularly to remove dead skin that can trap hair
Exfoliation involves gently removing dead skin cells to unclog hair follicles and allow hair to grow out properly, reducing the risk of ingrown hairs.

TO TREAT RAZOR BUMPS;

📍Stop shaving for a while to let your skin heal.

📍 Apply a warm compress to soothe irritation and open up the pores.

📍 Use over-the-counter creams with hydrocortisone or salicylic acid to reduce swelling.

📍 If bumps are painful or infected, consider seeing a doctor for prescriptions.

SOME AFTER SHAVE SUGGESTIONS
1- Aloe Vera
Soothes and hydrates the skin, reducing redness and swelling.

2- Consider switching to electric clippers for a less close shave.

3- If shaving isn’t necessary, you could grow your hair out to avoid irritation altogether.

3- Laser hair removal

4- Hair removal creams

BEEF TALLOWS: How Healthy ?🤔

For so many years, Tallows has been lied about and vilified. 😭
Tallow is a rendered version of beef fat. It has a solid composition and becomes malleable at certain temperatures.
It's typically derived from animal fat. Fatty tissue is boiled and eventually separated from the fat and other liquid.

NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS⚕️

Tallows contain ;
1. The saturated fat which support hormone production and cell function. 🧪

2. Mono-unsaturated fat: Similar to olive oil, this fat may improve heart health and reduce inflammation.💝

3. Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids: Support brain function and heart health.🧠❤️‍🩹

4. Fat-soluble vitamins: Support bone health, immune function, and overall well-being.🦴💯

5. Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA): May prevent plaque buildup in arteries.💉

6. Choline: Supports memory, mood, and muscle control.💪

WHEN YOU COOK WITH BEEF TALLOW;

📍The oil is very heat-stable and doesn’t go rancid.

📍It has a much higher smoke point than most seed oils.

📍 Fries food quickly, and doesn’t soak into the food unnecessarily. 🤌

📍It’s very healthy and can be cheaper if you can get it directly from a farm.

It's best to consume beef tallow in small amounts as it is high in calories and saturated fat.
Beef tallow can be part of a healthy diet when consumed in moderation, but it MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE.🙏
Animal fat is healthy!!

Things you should know about HIV

For many years, an HIV diagnosis was synonymous with a death sentence. However, advancements in medical science have transformed HIV from a terminal illness into a manageable chronic condition, marking one of the most remarkable achievements in modern medicine.

Today, those living with HIV who have consistent access to treatment can expect to live full and healthy lives comparable to their HIV-negative peers. This means that HIV is no longer a terminal illness but rather a chronic condition that can be managed effectively with proper care.

However, the challenges are not purely medical.

Millions of people, especially in low-income countries, still face barriers to life-saving treatment due to systemic inequality, lack of infrastructure, and political neglect.

Though much progress has been made, the fight against HIV is far from over.

Scientists have done their part by developing life-extending treatments; now, it is up to governments and leaders to ensure that these therapies reach those in need.

With continued advocacy and a global commitment to equality in healthcare, ending the HIV epidemic can become a reality.
