Volgens die POPIA WET wat more, 1Julie 2021, intree, moet ek vra:
1). As jy nog op die blad wil bly, is jy baie welkom.
2). Die wat nie meer wil bly, sal jul asb, julself verwyder.

Ons almal ken seker nou teen die tyd waaroor dit gaan, anders gaan Google dit en bemagtig jouself. Ons mag nie persoonlike inligting openbaar nie. Dus, asb. kom ons hou by die reels.

Why is first aid so important.....🚑⚠

There are numerous reasons why people don’t take First Aid training programs;🌴

They are too busy
They don’t know where to go
They think that they already have enough knowledge, or
They think that accidents happen to other people not to them or their friends, family and colleagues.
Ask any individual who has taken a first aid training program if it was worth it and their answer will be “Yes!” Having some basic first aid knowledge is essential and here are 5 reasons why.

It does more than help save lives.👻
It’s true that having first aid training undoubtedly helps save lives. That’s not all though; giving appropriate first aid immediately can help to reduce a person’s recovery time and make the difference between the patient having a temporary or long term disability. You’ll learn how to remain calm in emergency situations and you’ll learn simple acronyms to help you recall the steps you need to take. First aid training will make you confident and comfortable and therefore more effective and in control when you need to be.

It enables you to increase patient comfort.👍
Not all accidents, injuries or illnesses require a trip to the hospital but it doesn’t mean they don’t cause pain and suffering to the patient. A child crying because of a bruised elbow or with a fever is in pain and is suffering. By knowing how to act – even just by employing simple techniques such as applying an ice pack correctly, or utilising appropriate bandaging, you’ll help to relieve their discomfort. You’ll also provide emotional support by remaining calm and collected which will make them feel more secure and reduce their anxiety levels.

It gives you tools to prevent the situation from becoming worse.⚡⭐😘
In some situations if a patient doesn’t receive basic first aid care immediately their situation will deteriorate – often rapidly. By being able to provide basic care you can stabilize a patient until emergency medical services arrives. You’ll learn how to use basic household items as tools if a first aid kit is not available meaning that you’ll be able to cope with many situations.

You’ll also be trained in how to collect information and data about what happened and the patients’ condition. This information will be passed on to the emergency services, which saves them time – you will be a valuable link in the chain of survival.

It creates the confidence to care.
Having a basic first aid knowledge means that you’ll be confident in your skills and abilities in relation to first aid administration. By taking first aid training, it helps you to reflect on yourself and how you and others react in certain situations. Having this understanding will boost your confidence in a wide range of non-medical day to day situations.

It encourages healthy and safe living.
One of the first things you will learn during your first aid training is that you must look after yourself and ensure your own safety as a priority. It’s not being selfish, it’s being practical. Keeping yourself safe means you are in a position to help others rather than needing help yourself. You will also learn about the importance of healthy living and how lifestyle habits and choices can increase or decrease your risks of developing problems such as coronary heart disease. Having this knowledge makes you more aware of your own health and alert to potential hazards posed by your surroundings.😷

( The amazing wonder of the body ) - we live in and just how unique it was all put together for it to function as one !! .

Your eyes blink around 20 times a minute - That’s over ten million times a year !

We lose 80% of our body heat from the head !

If you walked 12 hours a day it would take the average person 690 days to walk around the world!

The body has 2.5 Million sweat pores !

The human nose can detect about 1 Trillion smells !

Every hour about 1 billion cells in the human body must be replaced !

The average human head has about 100.000 hairs !

The circulatory system of arteries veins and capillaries is about 60.000 miles long !

The heart beats more than 2.5 Billion times in an average lifetime !

The pineal gland is the smallest organ in the human body found near the Centre of the brain,in a groove between the hemispheres. It’s not an organ like those in the abdominal cavity !

The strongest muscle based on its weight is the Masseter. With all muscles of the jaw working together it can close the teeth with a force as great as 55 pounds ( 25 Kilograms ) on the incisors or 200 pounds ( 90.7 Kilograms ) on the molars . The uterus sits in the lower pelvic region !

The average red blood cell lives for 120 days !

There are 2.5 Trillion ( give or take ) of red blood cells in your body at any moment. To maintain this number, about two and a half million new ones need to be produced every second by your bone marrow !

Nerve impulses travel at over 400 Km/ hr ( 249 mi/ hr ) !

A sneeze generates a wind of 166 Km/ hr (100mi/ hr ) and a cough moves out at 100 Km/ hr ( 60 mi/hr ) !

Our blood is on a 60.000 mile journey per day !

We make around 1 to 1.6 liters of saliva a day !

A Pearson can expect to breathe in about 45 pounds of dust over his / her lifetime !

A single human s***m cell contains around 37.5 MB of information !

A feeling of thirst occurs when water loss is equal to 1% of your body weight. The loss of more than 5% can cause fainting and more than 10% cause death from Dehydration ! .

This is just a little of a lot of the wonder we live in from day to day - ( Life ) - it’s a gift from our creator look after it - life is shorter than you may think .
