Wash your socks often🧦
Wash your socks often🧦

As you wear socks, they accumulate sweat, dirt, and germs. Wearing them dirty can cause a fungal infection called Athlete's Foot and infected under toes.

Wash or change your socks at least every 2 days.

RT for public awareness!

The germ that causes Athlete’s Foot (Tinea pedis) likes a warm, dark, and moist environments.

That's why it affects mainly the areas between the toes and the bottoms of the feet causing a whitish, scaly rash with a red base, burning, peeling, and occasional odour.

If left untreated, your fungal infection (Athlete's foot) may spread to other parts of the body.

It can also be transmitted to other people through shared floors, gym mats, towels, and other shared surfaces.

A premature baby is placed on his father's chest shortly after birth to regulate the baby's temperature like an incubator as his mother was still recovering from her caesarean section. This is called the Kangaroo Mother Care. 🦘

Months later, that's the boy.

Kangaroo mother care 🦘 is a method of holding a baby that involves skin-to-skin contact.

It can be done by both mothers and fathers on premature infants while they are still in the hospital.

Kangaroo mother care is beneficial to the baby in my ways. For e.g. it:

• Stabilizes your baby’s heart rate
• Improves your baby’s breathing
• Decreases your baby's crying
• Helps baby gain weight faster
• Helps baby sleep more
• Decreases hospital stay

5. Rush patient to hospital especially if:

- chest pain doesn't go away within 3 minutes of taking nitroglycerin or aspirin
- patient was not previously on any heart medications
- there's no medication to give them within the 3 minutes

HOW TO EASILY KNOW YOUR BODY MASS INDEX (BMI)

1. Check your Weight (in Kg)
2. Check your Height (in metres)
3. Your BMI = Weight ÷ (Height)²

RT for awareness

Cross-check the result you get from step 3 above with the ranges below;

Underweight <18.5
NORMAL/HEALTHY 18.5 - 24.9
Overweight 25 - 29.9
Obese 30 - 34.9
Extremely obese >35

BMI is a cheap and simple screening method for weight categories —underweight, healthy weight, overweight, and obesity.

A BMI outside the normal/healthy range may be associated with some health problems.

Did you know?

A bite from a Brazilian wandering spider can cause an erection that lasts up to 4 hours.

The venom increases nitric oxide, a chemical that enhances blood flow & boosts erection.
