WORLD MALARIA DAY

World Malaria Day which is observed annually on the 25th of April, is an international awareness day recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) to highlight the global efforts to control malaria, which is a preventable and treatable disease that affects millions of people worldwide.

Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite, which is transmitted to humans through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. The symptoms of malaria include fever, headache, chills, and vomiting, and can be fatal if not treated promptly and correctly.

Malaria is most prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions, especially in Africa, where over 90% of malaria deaths occur. Children under five years of age are the most vulnerable group affected by malaria, with an estimated 67% of all malaria deaths occurring in this age group. Pregnant women are also at high risk of contracting malaria and suffering from severe complications.

Malaria can be prevented through the use of insecticide-treated bed nets, indoor residual spraying, and taking prophylactic medication. Effective treatment involves early diagnosis through a rapid diagnostic test and prompt administration of antimalarial drugs.

World Malaria Day is important because it raises awareness of the ongoing fight against malaria and the need for continued investment in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. It also provides an opportunity to highlight progress made in reducing the burden of malaria worldwide and to celebrate the successes achieved in controlling and eliminating the disease.

Mental Health For Overall Wellness

Mental health refers to the state of a person's psychological and emotional well-being. It encompasses an individual's ability to cope with stress, work productively, and maintain healthy relationships.

Mental health is extremely important as it affects a person's overall well-being and quality of life. Good mental health enables individuals to cope with the daily challenges of life, make positive decisions, and lead fulfilling lives. It also plays a crucial role in building and maintaining healthy relationships with others.

Just like physical health, mental health requires care and attention to function optimally. Here are some tips for taking care of your mental health:

1) Prioritize self-care: Engage in activities that make you feel good, such as reading, exercising, or spending time with loved ones.

2) Seek social support: Talk to a trusted friend or family member about your thoughts and feelings. Joining a support group can also be helpful.

3) Practice stress management: Practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga. Find healthy ways to cope with stress, such as exercise, listening to music, or journaling.

4) Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Eat a balanced diet, get enough sleep, and avoid drugs and alcohol.

5) Seek professional help: If you are struggling with mental health issues, it's important to seek professional help. Consider talking to a therapist or counselor who can help you develop coping strategies and support you through your challenges.

Your mental health matters...prioritize your mental health today!!

Physical Activity (exercise) During Pregnancy.

Research shows that babies born to women who exercised during pregnancy have more-mature brains, because exercise boosts levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, a chemical released during exercise that is associated with better brain function in adults.

Intelligence is largely hereditary, however, if you want to better your chances of having a smart child, staying fit and active during pregnancy might help.

Physical activity during pregnancy should be highly encouraged as its both beneficial to the mother and baby's health. A physically active pregnant woman is likely to experience easier postpartum recovery.

Exercises pregnant women can take on include Walking, Swimming, Low-impact aerobics and Cycling on a Stationary bike.

NOTE: Before you begin an exercise program during pregnancy, make sure to consult your doctor.

FATIGUE - How To Manage Stress.

Stress is a physical, mental, and emotional response to a challenging situation or demand. It is the body's way of reacting to a perceived threat, whether real or imaginary. When stress is triggered, the body's natural "fight or flight" response is activated, releasing stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol.

These hormones increase the heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate, preparing the body to respond to the perceived threat. Stress is almost unavoidable in an adult's life but there are ways to manage stress, a few of which are;

1) Exercise regularly: Physical activity has been shown to reduce stress levels and promote feelings of well-being.

2) Practice relaxation techniques: Techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, and yoga can help you relax and reduce stress.

3) Get enough sleep: Lack of sleep can contribute to stress, so it's important to get enough rest each night.

4) Prioritize and manage your time: Effective time management can help you reduce stress by reducing the feeling of being overwhelmed.

5) Eat a healthy diet: Eating a balanced and healthy diet can help your body better cope with stress.

Sometimes the best way to reduce stress is to simply take a break and do something that makes you happy.

ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE

Antibiotic resistance simply means resistance to antibiotic drugs. It is a growing public health concern that occurs when bacteria develops the ability to resist the effects of antibiotics that are used to treat infections.

Antibiotic resistance happens when antibiotics are being used too often or unnecessarily. Antibiotic resistance can make it difficult to treat infections, and in some cases, it can lead to serious illness or death.

To reduce the occurrence of antibiotic resistance, it is important to use antibiotics only when they are prescribed by a healthcare provider.

Most importantly, antibiotics should not be used to treat viral infections, such as the common cold or the flu, as they are not effective against viruses. Additionally, individuals can take steps to prevent the spread of infections, such as practicing good hygiene, getting vaccinated, and avoiding close contact with sick individuals.
