Diabetes and Stroke

1. When you have diabetes, you are more at risk of cardiovascular disease, which can lead to a stroke. 2. A stroke is when blood can't get to your brain and it's starved of vital oxygen and nutrients. This can happen if your blood vessels are damaged or blocked let me explain why having diabetes means you are more at risk of this happening.

1.Thrush is a yeast infection (candida albicans) which tends to affect warm, moist areas of the body such as the vagina, penis, mouth and certain areas of skin. 2.Thrush is more common in people with diabetes as high sugar levels lead to better conditions for the yeast to grow.

A dry mouth coupled with a higher amount of glucose in the saliva can also make for favourable conditions for thrush.

When we hear this word, we think of it building up in our arteries and contributing to long-term health problems, but cholesterol isn’t just a bad guy. 2.Healthy levels of cholesterol are vital for our cells to function and to make vitamin D and some hormones.

There are two main types – HDL or high-density lipoprotein (good cholesterol) and LDL or low-density lipoprotein (bad cholesterol).

1.DIABETES AND WAIST SIZE

Carrying extra weight around your WAIST means fat can build up around organs, like your liver and pancreas. This can cause something called insulin resistance as the insulin can’t get through the fat. 2. This means the insulin your body produces doesn’t work properly, and that increases your chance of having high blood glucose (sugar).

You should make sure your overall weight and body mass index (BMI) are healthy, but even if they are,....

1.Many inbox and calls over my involvement in the @mutami_susan and @TembaMliswa issue and because l do not want anyone calling me about it l will set the record straight here for all to see.
First it should be understood that Temba did no assign me to deal with the issue here... 2...l felt compelled to intervene when l thought the issue between @mutami_susan and @TembaMliswa was not for public consumption and had negative implications on all involved parties,being close to Temba it was the best thing l could do for him.

1. What l have learnt through @nelsonchamisa speeches during the rallies across provinces is that @CCCZimbabwe is a whole new political party and that puts the positions of those who were with Chamisa in MDC A under threat if my reading of the situation is right,these are new.... 2...beginnings and that being said means it may not go down well with some people with the "chinhu chedu" mentality and that is why some of those who were with Chamisa are acting funny,they do not want anyone coming close to their positions.They will plot @nelsonchamisa downfall.

1.There is a reason why during Rhodesian days mostly teenagers crossed into neighboring countries to fight the Rhodies.They felt the pain caused by the minority rule in Zimbabwe and went to fight in a war.They left their parents only at home,the parents were the providers. 2.The war of independence needed all hands on deck,the teenagers would become a military force of resistance the parents meanwhile provided food,clothing and information for the youthful fighters who sacrificed for the independence of their country.

1.The story goes like this,during the G40 era @killerzivhu1 had grown too popular in Masvingo Province and he was going to be Provincial Chairman of ZANU PF Masvingo,people like Ezra Chadzamira who is the current Chairman were suspended & Amasa Nenjana a G40 proponent was Acting. 2.@killerzivhu1 was in favour with Grace Mugabe,he had every chance to become Chairman.When the coup happened Zivhu was quick to switch allegiance just like one Phillip Chiyangwa but little did he know that Team Lacoste would later come after him as is the case now.

1.I was shocked when @VascoDaGappah joined the @edmnangagwa administration ,why?Because l knew very well she was not the kind of person who understood what she was joining but only why she was joining.I believe her reasons to join had notging to do with "joining the gravy train". 2.Petina thought she could help a "new dispensation" run things differently from the previous administration,not only her shocked me,my sister @MahachieJosey could have thought the same too but below l would like to teach anyone who cares to attend this Twitter class.

THE THREAD:MARONDERA GANGS IN ZANU PF.

This thread is a follow up to the other thread I did a couple of weeks ago in which I was highlighting the existence of gangs in Zanu PF,this thread discusses events that I am privy to that took place between the year 2000 to year 2014. 1.The land reform ushered in a new relationship between war veterans and youths particularly in Zanu PF. In Marondera Central most youths became involved in land takeovers that had been instigated by late Enock Zenda who was then Chief Svosve, as youths we had hoped to get land.
