2 YEAR OLD HAS TYPE 2 DIABETES

A Hispanic toddler got type 2 diabetes, a sickness rarely seen in  young people and more rare in people of her age. She weighed 35 kg as at the time she went to a medical specialist. It's Obvious that her condition was caused by unhealthy diet and lack of exercise.

After some changes in diets and lifestyle, her sugar level went back to normal.

This should serve as a lesson to all parents. Your lifestyle affects your children's health.Their future health is a sum of what feed them with, the hygiene you teach them(the hygiene they see you practice) and everything you do adds up gradually.

I won't forget to mention the common African believe that if you are not overfeeding your kids, you are not taking care of them well. Obesity is not  a sign of good health neither is it a sign of wealth. You are only storing up death for them. Give your kids good food in right proportion. You cannot start taking them to the gym at this tender age so give them enough space for play and stop choking them. That is the only way they can burn fat in this stage of their lives.  Moreover, If they are not playing in this early  stage of their life, when will they  get a chance to do so? 23?

 These kids are your future, treat them as such.

HOW TO GET SICK DURING EXAMINATION.

 WARNING: Readers discretion advised

Dear Joe,

I received your letter showing your concern about how your school mates breaks down every semester. You've tried and tried to get sick too but you just can't make it happen. You can't just get to that point.

Hey Joe! I can help you out here. I've also been in school for a while now, I've seen people who cannot do breaking down during exams and I've also seen many never and might never get sick during exam. I looked into their lifestyle and came up with these five perfect tips to make you get sick during your next exam. Here is how to do it.

1. Drink excessively and smoke.

As soon as you resume next semester, make new friends. Friends like bottles and smoky sticks. Have them in excess in your refrigerator. Drink at least a bottle per day and at least three sticks per night. When its a week to exam, you can step it up to three bottles and a packet per day. Before exams, your lungs should be ready for the clinic.

2. Visit the gym everyday

Yes! You need to be respected. You need that body. you deserve that body you dream of. You can use this to your advantage; you can get sick and still have that kind of body that you want. Just visit the gym everyday for 10 weeks, 1 hour or more per day. you can step it up to 3 hours per day when it's two weeks to exam and 6 hours when it is a day to he exam.  If you can do this, the probability of you picking a pen up the next day is zero.

3. Eat junk

Come on! Who wants to eat healthy? There are way too many food in this world to stick to one good for nothing diet all in the name of not getting sick. I'm sure you want all the pizza and all those french fries, and fried chicken and hamburger and hot dog and meat pie. Hell yeah! I want them too. But you need them than I do. You need to break down during exam. Not me.

4. Drink all the beverages

Did I just say all? Oh sorry. 3 bottles of cocacola  and one bottle of lacasera for each day for 4 days would give you the diarrhea you want. 

5. Prepare late for your exams

Why read everyday when you can have all the fun for 12 weeks and you can cover the syllabus in just a week. Come on, got to clubs; hangout with friends, travel and explore the world. When it's a week to exam, you can make up for all those weeks of enjoyment. Study 19 hours  per day. 4 hours of rest is enough for you. Never mind how to achieve that, what are caffeinated drinks for? Drink them as much as you can in order to stay awake. By the time you get to the exam hall, an ambulance would be waiting for you.

So, Joe. If you want to carryover that 4 unit course, want to spend an extra year or two on campus, if you want to get rusticated or you simply need a lower credit, follow those suggestion. Should you change your mind, you can stay healthy during exam and after by doing just two things

5 WAYS TO KEEP HEATHY

 

1. PRACTICE GOOD HYGIENE 

 Germs are all around. On your railings , in the air you breathe in, on your skin, anywhere and everywhere you  can think of. Thank God for our immune system, our body can fight most of these germs. Nevertheless our immune systems are not invincible. If you continue to allow germs to build up in your environment, you'd breakdown sooner than later. So here are few reminders about what to do. 

• Keep your environment clean and dry. Just like you and I, mosquitoes cannot breed without water. Same applies to other parasites and the germs they host. By keeping your environment dry and clean, they'll all die of thirst and hunger and they will  never get an opportunity to produce the next generation of trouble makers again. :)
• Wash your hands always. As mentioned above, germs are everywhere. And as humans, we touch EVERYTHING. Worse, we forget to wash our hands after touching everything.  We still pass these germs to the next person when we shake and hug that person all in the name of love. These germs find their ways through our hands to areas where they can find more moisture(nose, mouth, back of the ear, armpit), then they start causing havoc. You can minimize that shit by washing your hand as often as possible.
• Don't keep dishes. Used plates are just the perfect place for pathogens to live. They've got sugar, they've got moisture and all the nourishment they need to survive. Once a bacterium is in your dish, it start dividing in twos every 20-30 mins(2,4,8,16,32,64...). If all conditions are favorable, in 24 hours, you should have 4722366482869645213696(2^72). Wow!  That is too much for your kitchen. Do yourself good by washing and wiping your plates dry with a clean towel as soon as you use them.

2. FIND A GOOD WATER SUPPLY

 Did you know?

• That unsafe water is one of the causes of diarrhea? This disease is responsible for the death of 760,000 children every year 
• Hepatitis(inflammation of the liver) can be transmitted through water
• Contaminated drinking water is estimated to cause over 500,000 diarrhea death every year.
• 1.8 million people use a drinking water source contaminated with faeces.

No doubt, contaminated water sources can cause a lot of havoc to your health. If you doubt the purity of your water source, here are suggestions

1. BOIL. Best approach is to boil your water as if you want to burn it to ashes. 
2. PURIFY WITH CHEMICALS. Use chlorine and or any trusted water purifying tablet. Follow the maker's direction. If no water treatment chemical is available, use household bleach. 8 drops per gallon, 2  drops per liter.  Don't be scared, its totally safe.
3. In case there are dirt, get a good water filter. I'm sure you don't want to drink that water with break dancers in it.

3. EAT HEALTHY

 Watch what you eat. Take too much fats and sugar and you risk becoming overweight. Reduce sugary beverages, drink water instead.  Eat more fruits and vegetables rather than sugary desserts. Too much salt and sodium can raise your blood pressure. If this is your problem, use herbs and spices instead of salt.

How much you eat can be as important as what you eat. Don't keep eating after you are no longer hungry.

One out of 6 American fall sick from food poisoning every year. You can minimize the risk by

• Washing your vegetables well before cooking
• Washing cooking utensils well before using.
• Never reusing a plate that has been used for a while without washing.
• Discarding perishable items left at room temperature for an hour or two
• Promptly refrigerate any perishable item and cook your food to until it reaches the right temperature

 4. STAY PHYSICALLY ACTIVE

Yes. You are very busy. You get to work by 9am everyday,  you stand up only 3 times between that hour and 4 pm.  The cab stops in front of you house, then to the bathroom. From the bathroom to the dining table, from there to the bed.
Well done! But if you really want to keep on working in years to come, you should try something new.  Run! If you're too old to run, jog! If you're too old to jog, take a brisk walk. Just stay physically active and keep your blood running. No way for DVTs, no chance for CVDs, no chance for obesity.

 

5. HAVE ENOUGH REST

 The amount of sleep needed varies from person to person. Most newborns sleep for 16 to 18 hours a day, toddlers about 14 hours, and preschoolers about 11 or 12. School-age children generally need at least 10 hours of sleep, adolescents perhaps 9 or 10, and adults from 7 to 8.

Getting the right amount of rest should not be considered optional. According to experts, sufficient sleep is important for:

• ·         Growth and development in children and teenagers.

•  Learning and retention of new information.

•  Maintaining the right balance of hormones that impact metabolism and weight.

• Cardiovascular health.

•  Disease prevention.

Insufficient sleep has been linked to obesity, depression, heart disease, diabetes, and tragic accidents. Surely these give us good reason to want to get enough rest.

So, what can you do if you realize that you have a problem getting enough sleep?

• Try to go to bed and get up at the same time every day.

• Make your bedroom quiet, dark, relaxing, and neither too warm nor too cold.

• Do not watch TV or use gadgets while in bed.

•  Make your bed as comfortable as possible.

•  Avoid heavy meals, caffeine, and alcohol before bedtime.

·           If after applying these suggestions you still suffer from insomnia or other sleep disorders—such as excessive daytime sleepiness or gasping for breath while sleeping—you may want to consult a qualified health-care professional.

We cannot totally be free from illnesses due to certain factors we cannot control like genetics, the taxi you sit, that director you can't afford not to shake hands with, that girlfriend/boyfriend you can't afford not to kiss and that week or month when you can't afford not to overwork and deprive yourself of sleep.
