I’ll tell you 4;
1. Every single day, your body produces at least one cell that has the potential to become a full-blown Cancer. But your immune system destroys it quietly without you ever knowing.
2. Your skeleton is very active. It constantly breaks itself down and rebuilds itself from scratch. Because of this process, you get a completely NEW skeleton every few years (about 10).
3. You actually have a second brain in your stomach called the Enteric Nervous System. About 90% of your Serotonin (the chemical that makes you happy) is produced there, not in your head!
So when you eat rubbish, it tells your brain to ruin your mood. That’s what is responsible for the 'butterflies in your stomach' feeling.
4. Cervical cancer is one of the ONLY cancers in the world that gives a 10 to 15-year 'notice period'. The virus that causes it (HPV) can hide in a woman's body for over a decade with ZERO symptoms. It is almost 100% preventable, but only if you catch it during that silent period.
I have lots of DMs asking how to become a UN Volunteer. Well, the UN has declared 2026 the International Year of Volunteers for SDGs, so it’s a good time to talk about volunteering as a career pathway.
I’ll be sharing a step-by-step on how to become a UN Volunteer.
Stay tuned!

Still on the use of sunscreen.
Does your sunscreen contain ingredients such as oxybenzone, octinoxate, octisalate, octocrylene, homosalate or avobenzone?
These have been shown to be harmful to human health and are all systemically absorbed into the body after use according to studies published by the FDA.
These studies also reported that the ingredients could be detected on the skin and in the blood weeks after they had last been used. Other studies have reported sunscreen ingredients were detected in breast milk, urine and blood plasma samples.
Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide containing sunscreens are considered to be safe.
Breastmilk is the best for your baby!!!
This is the simple truth.
However, there are several factors that we consider when choosing feeding options.
The whole idea of breastfeeding lies on the mother.
Is she able to BF?
Does she want to BF?
Is she allowed to BF?
IF YOU'D EVER HAVE A CHILD IN YOUR CARE, PLEASE READ THIS‼️‼️
Make a conscious effort to avoid button batteries!

Guys, I had my first baby via CS after a failed induction due to cervical dystocia (my cervix refused to dilate). The second one, I didn't bother, I opted for elective CS.
I have maximum joy just looking at them. The 'joy of motherhood' is not in screaming during labour or being dead because you refused CS!
The joy of motherhood is broad, but starts from a healthy mother holding her healthy baby!
The worst type of enemy is the one that you don’t realise is even there. An invisible enemy that sneaks into your body, causing little to no symptoms for years, but quietly damaging your liver the whole time.
That’s how Hepatitis B attacks. It is a viral infection that affects millions worldwide, making it one of the most significant global health threats.
A lot of people don’t even know they have Hepatitis B until they do a screening test for pre-employment checks, at work, school, for blood donation or as a part of antenatal checks.
Although it can be prevented, the disease’s ability to lie dormant while wreaking havoc silently makes it a very deadly disease.
Let’s discuss the facts about Hepatitis B—from its causes and symptoms to how we can treat, prevent, and even vaccinate against it.
RT this to serve as a reminder!
Keep children away from HOT things as much as possible.
• Teach them that hot water is dangerous from the beginning
• Dilute hot water in the kitchen before moving it anywhere.
• When cooking, keep the younger ones away from the kitchen; turn handles inward.
If someone gets a scald, rinse and cool the place with water at room temperature, remove anything covering the area, then get to the hospital!
Stay safe!
This will be a long thread about jaundice. But I have divided it into the sections that might interest you. It appears as though the myths and misconceptions about jaundice in babies far supersede the facts. So here are the facts about neonatal jaundice.
The poo in cholera is described as being like rice water. Its the way water looks cloudy and starchy when you are washing rice. Let me attach an image below . Please share and retweet so that people can take precaution.
The mother of my patient, fighting nephroblastoma (cancer of the kidney), walked up to me and said she couldn't cope anymore. She was crying as she explained that the money she used to procure the medications this week was borrowed...
Let me give you a little background.
To whom it may concern, your newborn is to be fed every 2 to 3 hours minimum.
Feeding a baby 3 to 4 times a day is not acceptable, telling me she likes food too much!
If you don't feed your baby right, S/he begins to lose weight and becomes prone to diseases.
