Food for the postpartum woman and breastfeeding mothers:
Her nutrient stores are depleted.
Her gut lining may be stressed.
Her hormones are in rapid transition.
What she needs:
• Iron from red meat and liver.
• Collagen from bone broth.
• Choline from eggs.
• Omega-3 for brain restoration.
• Magnesium for sleep and mood.
Not rice, maize, wheat and vegetables.
Not Ribena, Lucozade, Soda and Chips.
Not soup with no protein.
Feed the mother like she built something extraordinary.
Because she did.

This girl literally said, “If you are short on money for something read Psalms 102. Write down what you need, put it in Psalms 102, read it and God will give you exactly what you need.”
Be thankful for the small achievements in your life.
Don't live another person's life.
Run your race. It is fulfilling.
Be patient. Your reward will come.
He found 3.3 million people already surviving on hand to mouth. He then forcefully hijacked their payslips and deducted their money to fund a housing project that directly benefits his companies. After years of contributing to a health insurance fund, he takes everything away and tells you to start paying again into a system that benefits him directly.
The money Kenyans used to pay into NHIF disappears into thin air. As if that’s not enough, he increases contributions, yet you still don’t receive services at hospitals. He found education affordable but went ahead and cut capitation, making it a luxury for a few elites.
He introduced a confusing funding model in universities, effectively turning higher education into a privilege for the rich. He even shamelessly boasts that building churches is more important than schools and hospitals.
And this is just less than 1% of the unfortunate things the president has done to Kenyans. Yet, he is still asking for another term to continue with these sinister actions. If you find yourself seated with someone singing Tutam, you better be careful. That person is capable of murder.
Schools used to have debates every Wednesday during club meetings:
"Rural life is better than urban life."
"Day schools are better than boarding schools."
"The government is better than the opposition."
"Mr Speaker, Sir, I urge my opponents to cross the floor."
These debates were simulating parliamentary debates.
This taught students,
• Public speaking skills.
• Communication skills.
• Negotiation skills.
• Critical thinking skills.
In addition, these school debates, coupled with the GHC subject, were a form of civic education.
But the education system destroyed these activities because it created students who were politically conscious and enlightened.
The system wants you to remain ignorant so that it can control you.
Bring the school debates back!
This is called a HAEMODIALYSIS CATHETER.
It is for patients undergoing dialysis.
It is inserted into a patient's chest through the internal jugular vein.
The red port cannula is the arterial lumen that draws deoxygenated blood out of the patient's body and sends it to the dialysis machine for cleaning.
The blue cannula is the venous lumen that carries cleaned, filtered blood from the dialysis machine back into the patient's bloodstream.
This catheter stays in a patient's body for 6 - 12 weeks, or even longer, depending on medical decisions, before being replaced with a permanent fistula.
A healthy kidney filters your blood 400 times per day, while a dialysis machine does so only 2 times a week, for about 5 hours per session.
Dialysis patients have to arrive at the renal unit as early as 3 am, twice a week.
Not even a dialysis machine can replace the efficiency of a healthy kidney.
Therefore, take care of your kidneys.

Humans shouldn't always stay at home, even if you have nothing to do. Because staying at home for too long makes the brain become dull and leads to overthinking. You'll have more negative emotions. Psychology calls this state mental rumination. Most of the time, people who stay at home long term are not physically lazy - but mentally exhausted. You increasingly do not want to go out or see people. Even going to the supermarket downstairs to buy a bottle of water feels troublesome. You start to get used to being in a daze alone, scrolling through your phone and staying up late. Then you repeatedly struggle with yourself in an empty room. You think you're resting. But in fact, you're quietly draining the vitality of life. Your brain needs stimulation. Movement. Connection. Without it, your thoughts turn inward and spiral. The longer you isolate, the harder it becomes to break the pattern.
