These simple things will protect your liver:

. Don't eat old/bad groundnuts/bread
. Don't abuse alcohol
. Lose weight if you're obese
. Vaccinate against Hepatitis B
. Stop sharing sharp objects or toothbrushes
. Abstain or have safe sex
. Stop smoking
. Don't misuse medication
Old or bad groundnuts or grains may contain a fungus that produces a toxin knows as aflatoxin that has been linked to liver cancer.

If they look or taste funny, please abandon. Always store in airtight containers and refrigerate.
Drugs are largely taken by your liver, abusing them places your liver at risk of failure.

Use your head, always consult a medical practitioner before you take drugs.

Smoking and alcohol can lead to liver cancer

Vaccinate as soon as possible.

Ladies, if your blood group has a negative sign beside it, this thread is for you. A-, B-, O- etc

It means your blood group is Rhesus Negative, getting pregnant for a man whose blood is Rh-positive could mean problems for future pregnancies

Here's how
RT for awareness please
Let's assume that the baby's group is Rh-positive, your body and cells will approach the Rh-positive protein as a foreign body

If blood cells from your baby cross your bloodstream, which can happen during pregnancy, labor, and delivery, or during an abortion or a miscarriage
Your immune system will make antibodies against your baby’s blood cells, antibodies simply protect you from foreign bodies including infections

Once you have made these antibodies we say you are "sensitized"

Your body might send these antibodies to attack your baby's cells

Lasisi's skit was funny, did it paint medical professionals in a bad light? Yes

Most funny jokes have some elements of reality in them, that's why they are funny. We all laughed at May I, yet we knew that exceptional lawyers exist, apply that same logic to the doctor skit
If his skit wasn't true to some extent, people would not be laughing, however, we need to understand that not everyone who wears a white gown in a hospital, especially some private hospitals is a nurse.

They may bear the term "nurse" or "auxiliary nurses" as you know them
They are not professionals, they are quacks, trained in many cases by the doctors themselves in order to cut cost

This is a wrong and should be shunned against.

Many Nigerians think they are nurses and they usually perform "maid" duties, no professional nurse would do that

I'll try to make Hepatitis really easy for you to understand. A reminder

There are 5 types A,B,C,D,E

A-is gotten from contaminated food/water
B-is gotten from blood, semen, vaginal secretion.
C-is gotten from the same route as B
D-same as B and C
E-from contaminated water/food
If B is not present, D can't multiply

B can be responsible for liver cancer

B, C, D can lead to long term infections,
A and E are usually not long lasting.

There are vaccines now for types A and B, no vaccines yet for C, D and E
Here's how you can prevent Hepatitis

Vaccinate yourself against Hepatitis B and A, B requires 3 doses
Don't share toothbrushes
Practice safe sex
Wash your hands often
Wash food items properly
Don't share sharps eg clippers
Drink clean treated water from trusted sources
