CONSTIPATION is failure to empty bowel after 72 hours.

- No veggies,

- Improve salt intake. Sodium promotes gut motility.

- Eat sauerkraut.

- Squat when pooping. No toilet seat.

Water & pawpaw is a fallacy. The gut is not a slimy & horizontal hollow tube.

#FoodFriday
NO VEGGIES.

Why?

Because veggies are fibrous. They will worsen the bulking at the lower gut.

Fibres are not digested by the gut but by bacteria. If you overwhelm them with fibre, the constipation will worsen.

You don't add more vehicles in a traffic jam.

#FoodFriday
SALT,

Improve salt intake because the sodium-potassium pump needs to work.

Gut motility relies on this pump.

If the pump fails, the lower gut stops being peristaltic and the constipation will worsen.

#FoodFriday
Eat sauerkraut

Fermented cabbage is friendly to the gut. Plenty of Vitamin C, actually it is the number 1 source of vitamin C.

Importantly, it is a probiotic. It will improve bacterial attitude in the gut which will therefore jump-start the emptying of the bowel.

#FoodFriday
Squat when pooping,

Toilet seats are the main causes of constipation and even haemorrhoids.

The lower gut has a kink. Squatting releases this kink allowing maximum emptying.

#FoodFriday
Avoid too much water, it neutralizes electrolytes that help with pushing the gut (peristalsis).

Pawpaw does not slide to the gut. In fact it is digested in the stomach by the powerful HCL.

The gut is not a straight tube. It has enzymes, acids and other systems.

It is only my Luhyas & Luos who come on Twitter to abuse each other.

We even import village disagreements to Twitter.

I don't see Kikuyus or Kalenjin washing their linen here despite being in different political camps.

Growing in a scarcity mindset is a bad thing.

Shame!
We pride ourselves in demeaning each other in public to attract attention of our financiers.

We call each other unprintable adjectives to gain approval from the wealthy machinery financing our mouths.

We compete on who has the most smartest vocabulary of insults.

Shame!
Yet when your brother builds a business, you are the first to dismiss it and even plot its downfall.

You cannot support your brother because “he will be successful than me”

Growing up in a scarcity mindset is really a bad thing.

Shame!

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.

#BetterTogether
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.

#BetterTogether
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.

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.
