Your STOMACH ACID is strongly acidic.

Do not neutralize it.

Its normal PH is 1 - 3. Keep it there.

- it kills harmful bacterias

- digests foods eg proteins

- closes the oesophageal valve to prevent acid reflux

- keeps H. Pylori in check.

Avoid antacids.

#FoodFriday

If you neutralize your stomach acid,

- H. Pylori and other bacterias rises up to eat your stomach lining leading to gastritis & ulcers.

- You won't digest food leading to indigestion & bloating.

- Oesophageal valve won't close therefore stomach juice will regurgitate back.

The mistake people make is that when stomach juice regurgitates back, they swallow antacid thinking it will help.

By the way, stomach acid is strong that if it regurgitates back to the oesophagus, it will burn you to death.

The reflux is just weak acid & some digestive juice.

First, shares are traded at the NSE.

When I saw Kenya’s nutritionist and dietician Institute partner with the manufacturers of BOUILLON CUBES (Roiko), I was not surprised because this kind of nexus is what has led to a rise in cardio-metabolic syndrome.

Let me tell you something about these cubes.

#FoodFriday

ROICO is made from MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE (MSG) - an artificial glutamic acid known as D- glutamic acid.

This acid is combined with corn starch or soy starch to trick your taste buds into believing that the food you are eating is tasty & of nutritional quality.

#FoodFriday

MSG spikes your insulin 10 times.

MSG is free bound, it roams in blood attaching itself to receptors, triggering radicals.

Cancer cells survive on glutamate ( ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…), consuming MSG avails copious amounts of glutamate for cancer cells to grow.

Greatest muscles of your body

1. Sartorius - Longest muscle

2. Latissimus Dorsi - Broadest muscle

3. Gluteus - Strongest muscle

The stronger these muscles, the stronger your frame.

The workout that hits them all at once is THE SQUAT.

#BetterTogether

SARTORIUS is the longest muscle of the human body. It originates from the hip and inserts just below the knee. Its function is the flexion and rotation of your hips and knees.

#BetterTogether

Latissimus Dorsi is the broadest muscle which is located at your back. It is also known as the 'swimmers' muscle'.

It rotates and extends shoulder joints. It also depresses the shoulder blades. It helps in extension of the spine.

Woe unto you if your boss is obese.

He or she will project on you all the anger, resentment and low self-esteem because of how he or she hates their body.

Please tell your boss to UNFAT. - or the organization might collapse because of his weight and appetite.

#BetterTogether

How do you tell your boss to UNFAT?

Simple.

There is probability your boss is struggling to lose weight and therefore using anger towards employees as a way to cope up with the frustrations of living with:

- Obesity

- Diabetes

- PE and ED

- Hypertension.

#BetterTogether

Start living a healthy lifestyle.

When in the office:

- Practice intermittent fasting,

- Discard sugar & processed carbs.

- Go to the gym, run once a week then post your photos in the office social media groups.

- Share my #BetterTogether tweets to your social media status.

I am a playwright & stage director,

Friends School Kamusinga, with the winning play "Hamlet"

A play about HIV (U=U), Set in the human body.

Hamlet - White blood cell
Ophelia- Red Blood cell
Gertrude- DNA
Claudius - HIV

Let me tell you the story of these amazing boys.

Friends School Kamusing is a top-cream national boys high school in Western Kenya, - and Kenya.

It registers excellent results and sends hundreds to the university.

For this reason, it admits bright students.

However, something is missing in these boys.

Despite having good grades, they lack the much required soft skills.

- Public speaking.
-Problem-solving skills.
- EQ.
and the rest.

This is common in schools. Students finish with good grades but poor social skills.

That's why the Friends school principal looked for me.
