If you have a newborn:

- Expose it to the morning sun daily.

- Keep its bedroom darker and silent. Switch off bulbs, phones, computers, radios,TVs.

- Massage its back, neck, limbs (hands, legs, fingers) to loosen muscle stiffness.

- Exclusive breastfeeding.

Morning sun 🔆

It is common knowledge that the sun promotes the synthesis of Vitamin D which prevents rickets in children.

Vitamin D strengthen bones which therefore ensures your baby will crawl, stand and walk easily.

Your baby's liver is still primitive. It becomes wholly functional after 2 years.

It's role in babies is metabolism, detoxification and synthesis of bile.

Neonates are susceptible to jaundice because of a primitive liver.

The sun promotes development of your baby's liver.
2. Keep its bedroom dark and silent

This allows the seamless development of the neonate's neurological system which includes brain development.

Noise, artificial light and blu screens distract and stunt the neonate's developmental milestones.
3. Massage

The neonate spent its uterine life in flexion.

Massaging the neck, back and limbs loosen muscle stiffness. This allows appropriate muscular development.

Mothers can massage with coconut oil or basic vaseline every mid-morning after a bath.

#BetterTogether
4. BREASTFEEDING

Breastfeeding should be initiated 30 minutes after birth.

It should be EXCLUSIVE, meaning, NO WATER, NO NAN, NO BONISAN. Just breast milk for SIX MONTHS.

A mother has ENOUGH milk for her baby. The more the baby is on the breast, the more the milk is produced.

The difference between a 41-Year-old Terryanne & a 19-year-old teenage girl is that Terryanne has lost her sex market value while the teen has very high value.

But their pettiness is similar. Women never mature.

Your mother has the same pettiness of her teenage. Ask your dad.
- and this is what differentiates men from women and also men from boys.

A boy can be excused for pettiness and blunders but a man cannot afford to be petty and immature.

There must be a clear cut difference & growth in manners & logic for a man today than he was 3 years ago.
That's why we judge men based on their growth and development.

Women can afford to remain childish and petty forever and we shall excuse them and love them but a man MUST grow.

So, don't lose sleep because your woman is childish. That's what all women are: Childish and petty.

If you are 35+ years of age,

You need to start eating One Meal A Day (OMAD) and doing periodic fasting like #AutophagyMarathon

Thread...

#BetterTogether
Society today has normalized people 35+ years to be

+ Fat and obese

+Slow and weak

+ Manboobs

+ Dadbods

If you look around, people 35+ years are living a sedentary lifestyle and eating unclean because that is what our obesogenic society made them believe.

#BetterTogether
Yet, if you are 35+ years,

You need to be fit, healthy and active because

+ You have a family that looks up to you.

+ You have a job that needs your maximum attention.

But, you can't meet these expectations if you are fat, unhealthy and unfit.

If you are employed, I am sure you have just come from work and you are so tired.

Before you sleep tonight, go sit at the furthest and most silent corner of your house,

Ask yourself,

“If tomorrow I lose this job, what next?”

Go now, then read this thread...

#BetterTogether
What other skill do you have apart from what you have?

Do you have another skill than can give you leverage in case you lose your job?

Do you have another skill that will cushion you if you lose your job tomorrow?

#BetterTogether
Do this,

Take a pen and a paper,

- Draw 4 columns.

In the first column write your current skills. In the second column figure out how you can add value to your current skill.

Eg

Teaching | Videography.

“Videography will help me deliver online lessons”

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.

How to buy stocks in The Nairobi Security Exchange (NSE), Kenya:

I will be simple.

First, shares are traded at the NSE.

When you buy a share of a company, you become an owner of that company. You are an investor in that company.

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.
