3. Drink water
This is the primary "anti aging" secret.
Ensure you drink enough water. in addition to keeping you healthy now, you would DEFINITELY look better when you old age
1 - Never walk down Stairs or Run with your Hands in your Pocket. If you slip and fall, you can use your hands to break your fall. You really don't want a Head injury, especially in Nigeria
2 - Learn CPR.
200,000 people die yearly because no one around them could start CPR immediately.
To get certified, you need to take a course. but you should have the knowledge and help save lives.
Information about this is everywhere. There really isn't an excuse not to know
3 - Never Pull out a Object from a Stab Wound. It is most likely stopping the person from bleeding out. Leave it in.
You think they are loosing blood now, wait until it comes out.
This reduces the number of Doctors available to care for the patients.
If there were 2 doctors caring for 6 patients, it is now 1 caring for all 6
When the workload increases, the chances of getting infected increases also, this means that the 1 doctor, now caring for the 6 is more likely to contract the virus now.
