#D Enemies within…

PROCRASTINATION

No matter how big your dream is and how little you might think you have to achieve it; an effort each day makes a difference and takes you a step closer in achieving it.

Procrastination could be liken to a plant deprived of water each day due to excuses from its gardener before you say Jack Robinson, ‘poco-a-poco it morendo’ meaning ‘little by little it dies’ just like a dream that fades away without action.

Even if its just a small review of your dream you can pen down a day or a 30mins moments of silence to meditate about it or reach out to people that can be of positive contribution towards it…it’s a step closer

FEAR

The unknown brings about instability. it makes you nervous and emit negative vibes, this also subjects you to doubt and questions your believe about your dreams whether it will ever come to reality. a major factor that brings about fear is your present status quo

A man that paddles with all determination towards the sun each day it rises not minding the turbulent waves has a destination to behold.

Persistence and positivism keep fear away…no matter the trials, what you must learn to see each day is the big picture of your dream

INFERIORITY COMPLEX

Subjecting yourself to comparison with other people paves way for the growth of inferiority complex in you…

Every one is created in a unique way with different talents and destinies so why bother to compare yourself with friends or even a family member

Every plant has their season, it could be their season and not yours for now but definitely your season will come .like every plant that goes through the decaying period to the germination period so would you, it’s a period when you really will found out who you are and what you spring forth..

Believing in you brings about self confidence, self esteem and strength for greater good…

No matter how hard the days might be, never stop to believe in who you are and that dream of yours. fight by being prayerful with lots of persistence to take a step each day, be patience in times of trials and persevere by not giving up on yourself.

#BEAUTYTALK: HOME BEAUTY TIP

Never despise the days of our fore-fathers we are always reminded…traditionally they were blessed with great ideas which never occurred to them could be a life time treasure, to them it was just means of survival for them and their children.

Do you remember those days when you will always pray never to be bitten by mosquito so as not to have any kind of fever because the solution will be for you to bend over a big pot full of boiled Agbo (herbals) and wrapped up with tons of cloths with a blanket as the last layer, this process according to our mothers and their accomplices ‘grandmothers’ is said to open the skin, bring out the fever and leave holes for fresh air.

This is a kind of traditional medication most children even some adults without liver dread so much unknowingly to us its gold in the making…

I bet a foreigner who apparently got married to a Nigerian lady and bitten by mosquitoes was subjected to this our precious medication when he was around for vacation in Nigeria. It is believed that on getting back to his country he shared his tale with associates who found this method rather interesting and worthwhile; they kept their heads together and came up with SAUNA to fit their world.

Now a days most ladies show off their skin without giving kudos to our forefathers…To some ladies however, having to undergo SAUNA BATH is rather expensive due to present status quo, do not quiver for it will just be your little secret ‘GO THE TRADITIONAL WAY’…

Required:

·         Boiled water

·         Watermelon skin (not herbs except if you are ill)

·         Thick blanket

·         Small/medium plastic bucket

Process:

·         Slice watermelon skin into boiled water

·         Pour into plastic bucket

·         Set yourself in a sitting position comfortable for you

·         bend over the bucket without any cloths on

·         wrap the thick blanket over you

·         stay in for 10mins

·         after 10mins,have a lukewarm bath

This process not only gives u a Sauna bath but facials as well…

Now that’s our little secret…

#HEALTHTALK: DIABETES

Living life goes beyond hard work in a career that’s why it is said if you are alive hale and healthy even without a job and @ the times of trials you should be thankful for when there is life there is hope.

At a certain point in ones life if a friend or an elderly person gives such an advice, a slap is what you will deem fit for such person especially if he/she is in a status way above your trial level but a visit to the hospital will definitely change your way of reasoning.

An interview conducted with Dr. Laura John, C.E.O of Herbal Fountains on health related issues shed more light on Diabetes, a common disease threatening many lives.

What is DIABETES MELLITUS?

             This is known as a metabolic or endocrine disease, it is very common especially in the elderly individual and it is caused by reduced availability or reduced effectiveness of insulin.

INSULIN is the hormone in the body produced by the pancreas gland; it is responsible for the regulation and control of sugar in our blood. Too little insulin or ineffective insulin will cause blood sugar to be poorly handled and metabolised by the body and the concentration of sugar in the blood to rises and remain high at this point, sugar may then spills over into the urine producing GLYCOSURIA (gathering of Sugar ants on a spilled drop of the urine, of the uncontrolled diabetes). This high level of sugar in the urine draws water from the body by osmosis thereby increasing the urinary volume or poly-urea and occurrence of frequency urine of which some individual complains of getting up 3 to 4 times in the night to pass urine.

            Types of Diabetes

1)    Maturity onset diabetes, this tends to occur in overweight elderly individuals, often with no symptoms but in many there has been complication of uncontrolled vascular disease affecting the blood vessels mainly of the eyes, limbs and kidneys, infection can be controlled by diets, drugs and other herbals.

2)    Juvenile onset diabetes which tends to occur in younger patients, it comes with severe systemic diseases apart from the polyuria, polydipsia (thirst) and infections more commonly seen in the adult or maturity onset types, also occurrence of malaise, fatigue, weight loss, coma etc. The cause is unknown as there are many contributing factors including genetic and viral. Insulin is usually required for management and very low sugar episodes may be a complication of insulin therapy.

Diabetes is a lifestyle induced and thus can be avoided by controlled lifestyle.

·         Seek natural remedies that can help make the blood sugar level move from high to normal, improve eyesight, improve your balance, reverse neurotherapy and also give you more abundant energy.

·         It is also good for one to do a lot of exercise and lose weight.

·         Always check your cholesterol level which is very important

·         Detoxify your body of toxin always.

·         You are what you eat; take lean beef, stock fish, snails, nuts, fruits, fish, legumes, whole grains, vegetables, please try to stay away from all refined carbohydrates that are lacking in fibre. Fibre in food slows down the absorption of sugar into the blood stream so the blood glucose stays at a manageable level.

·         The fast foods and soft drinks we tend to appreciate does a lot of damage to the immunity for these ailments stem from as simple as too much sugar in the blood.

·         Go natural; eat fruits in their natural state, do not juice your fruit with the addition of sugar n other flavours rather take it naturally as they come.

·         Eat wide range of variety of food that has protein and also lots of fibre, nibbling is good and eat small frequent meals rather to gorging

·         Avoid and minimize your intake of unhealthy foods which are high in salt, fat, sugar, cholesterol, alcohol, caffeine, processed meat etc.
