You know the corona virus don't have wings to fly around neither does it have legs to walk around to get people infected.  It needs a vehicle to move around. That vehicle is our respiratory droplets.  You know when we speak, laugh, cough, sneeze even breathe, we release these droplets into the atmosphere through our nose and mouth.  So imagine someone who is infected and has symptoms (symptomatic) or not (asymptomatic) releasing the virus into tbe atmosphere when (s)he speaks, laughs...... If they wear a facemask correctly, the facemask will trap the vehicle (which contains the virus) and people are spared. Or if they aren't wearing a facemask and you are, your facemask will give you a good level of protection.  So tell us, why don't you want to wear a facemask while out in public 🤷‍♀️ #Covid-19  #StopTheSpread #WearAFacemask #StaySafe #TheFABS  #TheFirstAidBoxShop  #BeFABulouS

Good news is this: about 50% of cancers are preventable.  Healthy lifestyle choices or/and modifications is the biggest way to prevent cancer. Quit smoking.

It is a no-brainer that Preventing Covid-19 infection is better than a cure. We don't even want to get into the cost of treating Covid-19! It not only puts a massive hole in the pocket, there is also the risk of losing life. Preventing Covid-19 is achieved by (i) stay at home and entertain no visitors-this is a 100% effective. Unfortunately almost impossible. So we recommend we stay indoors as much as possible  (ii) observe all Covid-19 protocols if you must step out. This involves the use of facemask, social distance, wash your hands as often as possible, use hand sanitizer, avoid crowded spaces, avoid touching door handles and stair rails in public spaces.  (iii) boost your immunity . Eat fruits and veggies. Take vitamin C daily. Rest. Exercise. Ginger. Tumeric. Quit smoking. Reduce alcohol consumption. Stay hydrated. Eat a balanced diet. Try as much as possible to reduce stress. Don't be a Covid-19 victim before you you take It seriously.  #COVID19 #PreventingCov

So we move to the next silent disease on our list👉 Cancer How we hate the word. But we need to understand it, we need info about this enemy of mankind. Cancer refers to a really large group of diseases. It is an abnormal growth of body cells that divide uncontrollably and have the ability to destroy normal body tissues.  It is one of the leading cause of death globally. It is a non communicable disease. There are over a 100 types of cancer. It can affect almost all and any part of the body.    It rarely presents with signs and symptoms in the early stage. It is often discovered by chance or when it has reached an advanced stage (hence it's called a silent disease). It can also be detected through screening.  Some cancers are preventable (about 50%) There is vaccination for a few types (cervical, liver cancer) Cancer can occur as a result of genetics (can be inherited) as well as lifestyle choices  There are cancer survivors  Always always always.....early detection is

Like we previously mentioned, hypertension is a silent disease so it could be causing so much havoc to your health and you will be clueless.  The only way to detect it is to measure your blood pressure with a blood pressure monitor (BP monitor). This can be done in a health facility (hospital or pharmacy) or in the comfort of your home. The digital BP monitors are easy to use at home. Blood pressure readings have 2 sets of numbers. The upper numbers, which represents your systolic pressure while the lower numbers, which represents your diastolic pressure.  Systolic pressure is the pressure that occurs when blood is pumped from the heart to the arteries. The normal systolic pressure is 120mmHg or less (90-120) Diastolic pressure is the pressure in the arteries between heartbeats, when the heart is at rest. Normal diastolic pressure is 80mmHg or less (60-80) Blood pressure readings of 140/90mmHg or higher is considered as high blood pressure.  #KnowYourNumbers #BloodPressureR

We survived 2020 with all the Covid-19 wahala! Some of us took caution and survived. Some of were super careless, never got Covid-19 and are hale and hearty. Some of us were super careful but still got Covid-19 and survived. Some others were careless, got Covid-19 and died. Some others were super careful, got Covid-19 and died. The long and short of it is:If we all take responsibility and abide by the guidelines for Covid-19 prevention, the casualties will be nil. It's impossible to live in a bubble to keep Covid-19 away from us, however,we should do the best that is humanly possible to keep safe.  Be considerate Wear your facemask when out in public There are different schools of thought concerning preventing Covid-19 by inhaling steam, herbal prep,use of chloroquine...and all that.
