5 DAILY HABITS YOU SHOULD PRACTICE FOR BETTER HEALTH AND ENERGY

Start your day with water
After hours of sleep, your body is dehydrated.
Drinking a glass of water first thing helps wake up your system, supports digestion, and improves focus.

Move your body no matter how small
You don’t need a full gym session.
A short walk, stretching, or light exercise boosts circulation, improves mood, and supports heart health.

Eat something nourishing
Skipping meals or eating junk all day stresses your body.
Include proteins, fruits, and vegetables to keep your energy stable and your immune system strong.

Mind what you take into your body
Be intentional with medications, alcohol, and supplements.
For example, excessive use of paracetamol combined with alcohol can harm your liver over time.

Prioritize rest and sleep
Your body repairs itself while you sleep.
Aim for consistent, quality rest to improve brain function, mood, and overall health.

PHARMACY STORY TIME

It was a lazy weekend. Charles woke up from his afternoon nap with headache and body pains.
The stress of the past week was really telling on him.
Nothing so serious, so he went to a pharmacy and got a card of paracetamol.
He took two tablets with water to calm it down and tried to relax.

That evening, his friends came around and after a few card games, they decided to hang out at their favorite spot.
They shared gist, laughter and some bottles of beer.

That night was the longest night of his life, everything changed, he barely slept.
He had severe abdominal pain, vomiting, and discomfort.
Could it be the plate of jollof rice he had eaten that afternoon before dosing off?
Had he been poisoned at their hang-out?

What went wrong?

THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

Oftentimes, we talk about boosting your immune system.
What do we mean by immune system??

The immune system is your body’s natural defense system that protects you from infections, diseases, and harmful substances.
Your immune system is your body’s security team.

It fights bacteria, viruses, and parasites.
It identifies and destroys infected or abnormal cells.
It helps your body recover after illness or injury.
Let me explain how it works

First of all, your immune system recognizes anything out of the ordinary (like germs).
Then, it sends white blood cells to attack and get rid of them.
It now remembers past infections so it can fight faster next time.
That is how it functions

Main parts of the immune system include:
White blood cells (soldiers of the body)
Lymph nodes (filters and defense stations)
Bone marrow (produces immune cells)
Spleen (helps filter blood and fight infection)
Skin and mucous membranes (first barrier against germs)

What happens when your immune system is weak:
You can fall sick easily
Infections will last longer
You will not recover fast

What weakens your immune system:
Poor sleep
Stress
Poor diet
Lack of exercise
Chronic illness
Excess alcohol or smoking

What strengthens your immune system
Balanced diet (fruits, vegetables, proteins)
Enough sleep
Hydration
Regular exercise
Managing stress

Your immune system is what keeps you alive and healthy by fighting off things that want to harm your body.

BEFORE YOU TAKE THAT PARACETAMOL, READ THIS👇👇
YOUR LIVER WILL THANK YOU

Oga Okey walked into our outlet looking so weak and tired, frustrated, and clearly not okay.
I looked at him properly and asked,
“Goodafternoon Oga Okey, this one you are not smiling today. Hope all is well?”

He sighed and said,
“Pharm, I need original paracetamol and that’s why I came to you. I have already finished 2 cards in 2 days. All these ones they are making now na just chalk. They don’t work. I take 4 tablets, headache is still there. Before evening, I don finish one full card, still nothing.”

"4 tablets??? As how now??? No no Oga Okey, let me tell you what you don't know about taking too much paracetamol."

Ubiquinol VS Coenzyme Q10 ... which one works better??

Well, they are basically two forms of the same nutrient, but they behave a bit differently in the body.

Here’s the real difference:
1. Ubiquinol is the active, antioxidant form your body can use immediately.
CoQ10 (ubiquinone) is the inactive form that must be converted into ubiquinol before use.
Your body naturally converts ubiquinone to ubiquinol.

2. Ubiquinol is better absorbed, especially in older adults or
people with chronic illness.
CoQ10 (ubiquinone) is less bioavailable, but still effective in healthy individuals.

3. As you get older, your body becomes less efficient at converting CoQ10 to ubiquinol.
That’s why ubiquinol is often preferred after age 40–50 for better absorption.

4. Ubiquinol is more expensive while CoQ10 (ubiquinone) is cheaper and more widely available.

5. Both are effective for:
▪︎ Energy production (mitochondria)
▪︎ Heart health
▪︎ Fertility
▪︎ Antioxidant protection
But ubiquinol works faster and more efficiently, especially if your levels are already low.

So which should you choose?
Young, healthy adults who are under 40 years: CoQ10 (ubiquinone) is usually fine.

Older adults, stressed out people, those suffering from chronic illness: Ubiquinol is a better option

If someone is complaining of persistent fatigue, low energy, or on statins, jumping straight to ubiquinol often gives better results than regular CoQ10.

Not sure which one is right for you?
Walk into De-peoples Pharmacy and we’ll guide you properly.

Most of the concoctions you are taking are causing issues for you.

Not everything labelled natural or herbal is safe.
Most of these mixtures and concoctions people drink daily
( bitters, herbal combos, unregulated supplements ) can quietly disrupt your hormones.

Your hormones control almost everything:
Your period
Your weight
Your mood
Your skin
Your fertility

When you keep pouring unknown substances into your body,
you’re basically confusing your system.

Some of these products may:
Interfere with thyroid function
Affect estrogen balance
Worsen conditions like Polycystic ovarian syndrome
Lead to irregular periods or low libido

And you may not notice immediately

That it is natural does not mean it is safe.
And that everyone is taking it does not mean it’s good for you.

Before you take any concoctions:
Know what you’re taking
Ask questions
Protect your hormones

📍 Visit De-peoples Pharmacy for safe, professional guidance before trying any concoction.

BLEACHED UNDERWEAR... READ THIS👇👇👇

Your underwear is bleaching and that might be a good sign. Let me explain..

As a woman, you wear dark underwear and after a while, you notice it is fading, which makes you uncomfortable and you throw it away.
You rush to run a lab investigation thinking you have an infection but all is well and you work harder to improve your hygiene, while the bleaching keeps reoccurring.
Does this sound familiar?

Let’s clear this up once and for all

That lighter or faded part in your underwear is usually not dirt.
It's not infection.
It’s not poor hygiene
In many cases, it’s actually very normal.
You see your va**na naturally keeps itself slightly acidic (pH 3.8–4.5) to protect you from infections.
This is thanks to good bacteria like Lactobacillus.

It is that natural acidity that can lighten dark fabrics over time and that’s what you’re seeing.

So your body is doing exactly what it should.

But, if you notice any of these:
▪︎ Strong or fishy smell
▪︎ Itching or irritation
▪︎ Discharge that is green, grey, or thick
Then it’s no longer “normal discharge”
It could be something like bacterial vaginosis or candidiasis.

Bleached underwear is often a sign your va**na is healthy. But if you notice other symptoms, consult your healthcare provider immediately.
