COVID-19 AND HOW TO PREVENT ITS SPREAD

2020-05-22T15:00:00.001-07:00

All over the world, as at today, the major discussion on radios and television stations is the disease called COVID-19 which is caused by a virus called corona virus. Being a viral disease, there is no cure yet but the most effective way is to prevent infection and prevent its spread to other people.
According to medical doctors, the symptoms of the disease includes cough, sneezing, difficult breathing and pains. There are reports that Madagascar tried some herbal medicine on some of the patients and it appeared that the medicine worked. There are reports that vaccines are being tried for the control of the disease. Nigeria received some of the herbal medicines from Madagascar, which will be administered to the Nigeria patients. How then do we prevent the spread of this disease? According to the Federal Government of Nigeria we can achieve this by taking the following steps:
1. Regular washing of hands
2. Sanitizing hands with an alcohol-based sanitizer
3. Observing social distance
4. Wearing of a face mask
5. Avoid shaking hands in public places
6. Those who just came from another country should report in isolation centres
7. People around us who came from a journey, who refused to be tested for COVID-19 should be reported to the appropriate authority
If every individual can take the steps outlined above, it will be easy to prevent the spread of the disease

5 REASONS WHY YOU MUST QUIT SMOKING NOW!

2015-06-22T06:46:00.001-07:00

Smoking is one habit that i find very common among men in various countries of the world. It is also becoming common among women and young ladies this days. This habit is a bad one which i think should be stopped by everyone. The reasons why i believe you should stop smoking are the ones i presented below:
1. Smoking is addictive:Once you develop the habit of smoking, you become used to the taste of the smoke and it becomes difficult for you to quit.I dont think this is good enough
2. Your children could also slide into this harmful habit: When children watch you smoking day-in-day out smoking, they are likely to assume that the habit is a good one which they could copy. Do you want your children to be addicted to smoking cigarette and other hard substances? The earlier you stop, the better for the whole family.
3. When you quit smoking, you avoid exposing your system to poisonous chemicals: Smoking is accompanied with dangerous chemicals such as formaldehyde, arsenic and benzene, which are potentially dangerous to human health. It is known that these chemicals could harm your blood vessels. Is it not wise to quit smoking?
4. Quitting smoking reduces blood pressure, leading to a reduction in the risk of a heart problem.
5. Quitting smoking reduces the risk of experiencing cholesterol plaque erosion which is harmful to your blood vessels.
By reading through these five reasons, i think it makes a lot of sense to quit smoking.

8 Practices That Make You Stay Healthy

2015-06-20T07:47:00.001-07:00

People commonly say that health is wealth.This is very true because only a healthy person can truly be rich. I would like to share these eight practices, which i believe will make my readers stay healthy
1. Practice deep breathing: When you breathe very deeply a large volume of oxygen gets into the body system and carbon-dioxide is excreted from the body system. This is very good for the body system. It has the added advantage of relieving tensions.
2. Have adequate sleep: It is important for us to sleep adequately. Not having enough sleep is not good for a healthy lifestyle. You know the amount of sleep that is good for you, do not deprive yourself of sleep for any reason. Also avoid sleeping late and watching horror films before sleep.
3. Play Christian music and hymns: Good music has the benefit of cooling the nerves and assisting us to sleep very soundly. Avoid loud music however. If the music is too loud, you may be deprived of good sleep. Good music is not only good for a good sleep, it is of benefit as you do your day to day activities in the house.
4. Exercise regularly: It is good to exercise our bodies regularly. You can do this by walking for one or two hours per week. This is particularly true of people who sit down for so many hours at work .
5. Put off the lights at night: It is not very convenient to sleep soundly when the lights are on. Some results of research by researchers suggest that exposure to light at night may hinder the production of melatonin, a hormone that can inhibit the growth of tumors.
6. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables: Fruits and vegetables have a lot of nutrients that are good for the body. The fibre in these foods is also important for good bowel movement.
7. Practice meditation: Meditating regularly has a benefit of cooling the nerves. It helps to relieve tensions and to give us a favourable dispositions. We can achieve this by meditating on the promises of God in the Bible.
8. Respect and Adore your parents: Researchers report that those who have a loving and caring relationship with their parents are likely to live longer, they are less likely to develop sickness such as heart problems and high blood pressure.

All we can do at this time is to promise ourselves that we will carry on the good work which he did while he was alive. May his soul rest in peace.

NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF EXCESS SUGAR ON HUMAN HEALTH

2011-11-15T01:05:00.001-08:00

We humans obviously cannot eliminate sugar totally from our meals. The problem come when the level of sugar consumption becomes excessive. This article emphasizes the effects of excess sugar on human health. Below are the generally known effects of excess sugar on human health. I believe that you will be blessed as you read.
1. Sugar addition: Having eaten excess sugar on regular basis, it is easy to be easily addicted. Any form of addiction is not good for the human body, as it weakens the will and focus.
2. Excess sugar consumption can suppress or reduce the proper functioning of the immune system. The implication is that if you eat excess sugar on regular basis, you stand the risk of falling sick more often as the immune system becomes weak.
3. Excess sugar consumption can induce deficiency of some essential nutrients: Nutrient elements such as chromium and copper can become deficient in individuals who take excess sugar. Magnesium and calcium which are equally important in human nutrition may be badly absorbed by the human body as a result of excess sugar. The same thing applies to important vitamins such as vitamin A, C, folic acid and B 12 .
4. Excess sugar consumption could cause premature aging: Individuals who consume excess sugar stand the risk of aging faster than their normal ages. As a result of excess sugar consumption, certain structures are formed which undermine muscles and tissue integrity.
5. Excess sugar can increase the risk of heart disease: There are evidences that those who take excess sugar stand the risk of heart disease. This is a very good reason to exercise moderation in the consumption of sugar.
6. Excess sugar can increase the risk of diabetes: It is a well known fact that excess sugar could aggravate diabetic condition.
The essence of highlighting these negative effects of sugar consumption is not to frighten you; rather it was meant to advice that you exercise restraint in your consumption of sugar particularly if you are above forty years old. Thank you for sparing part of your time with me.

How to Lower the Risk of Enlarged Prostate using Nutritional Means

2010-07-19T06:39:00.000-07:00

Are you losing your hair? Have you been spending lots of money to re-grow your hair? Keep everything you are doing aside now and read what I have written carefully as it will do you a lot of good. Hair is very vital to humans, as it provides a covering for our head. It also enhances the beauty of the human personality. Women generally spend a lot of money to take care of their hairs; and men spend a lot of money on hair restoration products annually. As a matter of fact, hair loss is one of the most dreaded conditions among humans. This article seeks to emphasize the fact that the food you eat play a role in the health of your hair. You may argue that male baldness is hereditary and there is nothing one can do about it. This is true to an extent, but the fact still remains that through good nutrition, your hair follicles can be properly nourished. Good nutrition will prevent the hair shafts from being weak. It will also prevent slow re-growth due to nutritional deficiencies. Below are such foods that can prevent hair loss or delay the onset of baldness in men:-
a. Vegetables and fruits:- These foods are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Vitamin C, for example assists in the synthesis of collagen, which is the connective tissue that gives structure to hair. Examples of food rich in vitamin c are citrus fruits, tomatoes, cauliflower and strawberries.
b. Whole grains:- Insulin resistance has been linked with male baldness. This is the result of some studies by scientists. The whole grain foods are important as they provide insoluble fiber, which is very useful in fighting insulin resistance. These whole grain foods also contain vitamin B6 and Folic acid which are important in ensuring a good supply of blood. This increased supply of blood enhances good distribution of oxygen that nourish the hair, thereby prolonging the useful life of the hair follicles.
c. Water:- It is commonly said that water is life. This is because a greater proportion of the body weight is made up of water. Water plays important roles in the body system. It is important for transportation of nutrients round the body and it helps to keep your hair strong and hydrated.
d. Lean meat:- Lean meats supply vitamin B6, B12, Biotin, zinc and iron. All these nutrients work together to prevent hair loss.
e. Diary products:- Keratin, which is an important component of hair, is found in diary products. Vitamin A is also found in milk.
When these foods are taken in adequate quantity, they would go a long way to prevent hair loss and baldness. For more useful health related articles, visit this blog regularly. Tell others about your experience too. Thanks
