Smooth and Sweet killer alert!!!

Do you know Diabetes????
Yeah you think you do but you dont.
Diabetes is divided into two.
Diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus.
They really got nice and unique names you may say, but that's the smooth killers for you.
Diabetes mellitus is a type of diabetes that deals with metabolism that is the breakdown of our body cells and organisms.
Now, diabtetes mellitus is that which deals with breakdown of our food energy and nutrients, that is why commonly we regard it as sugar/sweetened food caused.
Diabetes mellitus is divided into three; Type 1, Type 11 and gestational diabetes.

Type 1 is also called insulin-dependent diabetes. It used to be called juvenile-onset diabetes, because it often begins in childhood.

Type 11 is the most common form of diabetes, accounting for 95% of diabetes cases in adults. 

Diabetes that's triggered by pregnancy is called gestational diabetes (pregnancy, to some degree, leads to insulin resistance). It is often diagnosed in middle or late pregnancy. Because high blood sugar levels in a mother are circulated through the placenta to the baby, gestational diabetes must be controlled to protect the baby's growth and development.

The preferred method of diagnosing diabetes is the fasting plasma glucose test (FPG). The FPG measures your blood glucose level after you have fasted (not eaten anything) for 10 to 12 hours.

Normal fasting blood glucose is between 70 and 100 mg/dl for people who do not have diabetes. The standard diagnoses of diabetes is made when:

• A patient has a fasting blood glucose level of 126 mg/dl or higher on two separate occasions; or
• A patient has a random blood glucose level of 200 mg/dl or greater and has common symptoms of diabetes, such as:
  • Increased thirst
  • Frequent urination
  • Increased hunger
  • Fatigue
  • Blurred vision
  • Weight loss

Treatment during pregnancy includes working closely with your health care team and:

• Careful meal planning to ensure adequate pregnancy nutrients without excess fat and calories
• Daily exercise
• Controlling pregnancy weight gain
• Taking diabetes insulin to control blood sugar levels if needed

Other Forms of Diabetes

A few rare kinds of diabetes can result from specific conditions. For example, diseases of the pancreas, certain surgeries and medications, or infections can cause diabetes. These types of diabetes account for only 1% to 5% of all cases of diabetes.

SILENT KILLER ALERT!!!

People often say BP,BP,BP as if its a song not knowing what it really is.
BP simply means blood pressure.
Simply the pressure that the circulating blood in the blood vessels uses to flow around the body.
Now everything that deviates from normal causes problem.
The normal blood pressure has a range.
From 140/90---90/60mmhg is normal.
The SI unit is mmhg meaning millimeter mercury.
So anything below 90/60 is low BP and anything above 140/90 is high BP.
It is measured using sphygmomanometer, it can be manual or automatic.
I will tell us more about this BP in my next blog post.
See you soon.
Its time for us to go scientific and informed.

UNEASY LIES THE HEAD THAT WEARS THE CROWN

 Trump says he's sleeping 4-5 hours a night, he typically works until midnight or 1 a.m. He wakes up at 5 a.m. to eat, read newspapers and check out television.

Trump says that at the start of his presidency he's been surprised by "the size, the magnitude of everything." He says being president can be a "surreal experience in a certain way."

But he adds, "you have to get over it because there's so much work to be done."

MMM what's Good?

You know this ponzi scheme infiltrated Nigeria like cancer metastasis.
Lots of people were clueless about how it works, some people are ready to fight you and tell you that your salvation is far, more like preaching it like gospel.
Funny memes were circulating, people turned musicians, showing off skills,
Lol, I can't laugh please. ..
People turned billionaires, millionaires and some lost badly.
But if for example the only way out is to reserve the whole process by people paying back to who paid them?
That's still the process running, but I don't see it happening though.
Watch out for other deadly ones coming out.

Culture Shock

Culture is a way of life in a given population.
People do things differently and reason differently too.
Culture shock happens when you migrate to a new location and see the way people do things which will surprise you.
I have been able to travel up to 8 different states in Nigeria and still hoping to do more, as ajela that i am nah..
I will talk based on my experience and encounter...
So i have seen lots of behaviour but the striking one is the sharp difference in east and south east.
In the east, people are friendly to an extent and hustle truly, but in south east there is a sharp uninviting look with aggressive voice, maybe they don't know that is happening but you cant fail not to notice that.
Another aspect is language, i admire other language, but am not a fast language learner so i don't even bother anymore, but the generally acceptable but rugged one (pidgin English) i try to blend but you will still notice am not from there, but at least no harm in trying.
But in all i am amazed as i try to get hold of which environment am in and try to blend,,, you cant go to onitsha market and expect to get things cheap and be speaking english or pidgin, they will automatically inflate price.You just have to blend immediately.
Be proud of where you come from, respect peoples unique ways of life, don't expect people to be the same, winks,,, variety is the spice of life.

CAREER

A career is an individual's journey through learning, work and other aspects of life. 
For one to make this choice, there is need for proper scrutiny by the individual and guardian.
There are widespread number of discipline to choose from, but lets sample 20 students aged 7-15 in Nigeria, If asked what they will like to be in future 14 will say "i want to be a doctor" while the remaining 6 will opt for other profession like law, pharmacy, engineering,nursing,accounting,pastor in this order.
My question is what happens to the other professions? who will cover other loopholes?
Its high time parents see the truth and hug it and show it to their children.
Its only in Nigeria that when a child by chance or luck becomes successful, parents will know Yes that's my child, but when that child is still struggling and sneaking to find the green pasture with your negativity behind, it wont be remembered.
So in this post i want to emphasize on the importance of versed different profession and packaging.
When a welder, road side mechanic, vulcanizer or an electrician goes to school he is known as electrical/electronic engineer, mechanical engineer,civil engineer etc.
When a street tailor/seamstress or shoemaker goes to school they are known as designers.
When a hairdresser goes to school she/he is known as beautician,makeup artist even cosmetologist.
The footballers,GnD, Versace etc do you know their stories, but right now they are multi-millionaires and sort after from all over the world.
What am i driving at PACKAGING.
All the profession some of the parents love their children to do is out of selfish interest....if only you support and put the child through their chosen field of interest to attain their professional desire and goal with happiness in what they do. That is why poor service is found in lots of offices because their is no job satisfaction, people tend to do a laissez faire kind of work, you go to some hospitals you get frustrated and irritated, same goes to bank even down to normal cafe like as if there is switch of roles, people are not where they want to be.
African parents have stereotyped their idea,now if everyone become a doctor who will be the patient, who will teach, who will handle other areas of life.
The funny part of this whole thing is that these favorite professions of our parents are becoming saturated with both quacks and original.
Life is more than what we think atimes, we have our resources to dig, we have our ecosystem to study and preserve, we have our territories to protect.
Its all about diversity.
Support to child's dream.
Choose wisely.

FEVER; HAVE YOU GOT THE FEVER BEFORE? RIGHT THING TO DO.

Fever is just abnormal rise in the normal temperature of the body.
Fever points to the fact that something is wrong in your system, trying to alert you like computer anti-virus that your body has been invaded by unwanted visitors attacking it within.
So what should you do when you experience fever?
Nooooo dont say Paracetamol only right now, because that drug has suffered in peoples hand.
If its for children give them the prescribed dose of the paracetamol, and give them a cool bath, try to expose the body to an extent because implications ( common one is convulsion) of fever is deadly especially in children.
Go to hospital immediately after this action whether adult or children.
Prompt treatment is the key to health.

NICK GORDON, THE ALLEGED KILLER OF KRISTINA BROWN HAS COME AGAIN

Nearly two years to the day after Bobbi Kristina Brown fell into a coma that led to her death at age 22 six months later, Nick Gordon took to Twitter with a message about missing his love.

Gordon, 26, shared two photos: one of Brown, the daughter of Bobby Brown and late singer Whitney Houston, smiling and one of the couple kissing passionately.
“You’re the first thing I think about when I wake up and the last thing I think about before I go to sleep,” he wrote. “I love & miss you RIH my angel.”

A source close to Gordon said he is not doing well and hasn’t been doing well since he was found liable in the wrongful death case and ordered to pay $36 million to Brown’s estate in September.

Nick Gordon Shares Personal Photos of Kristina Brown, in quote "You are the First Thing I Think About When I Wake Up".

HAPPY NEW MONTHHHHHHHHHH, 2017 IS GOING PAST, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

TODAY IN HISTORY

United States Launches Explorer I (1958)

Explorer I was the first American satellite. It was launched four months after the first artificial satellite, Sputnik I, was put into orbit by the Soviet Union, beginning the so-called space race. Although it carried a number of instruments, Explorer I was relatively small, weighing just 30 lbs (13 kg). It stopped transmission of data later in 1958, when its batteries died, but remained in orbit for more than 12 years.


**** so its not today battery start to misbehave.

MORNING WARM UP

Back then in school, we have this Monday jogging that most people don't take seriously, but right now getting to train my body is one of my objective everyday.

I encourage all of us to map out exercise routine to keep our body together.

HEALTH; PHYSICAL HEALTH

Am not going to bore you with medical jargon's unless when necessary, u know.
Am going to be very elementary for our understanding and for the message to be clear.
Physical health is basically,  the most visible of the various dimensions of health.Some of the most obvious and serious signs that we are unhealthy appear physically by feeling pain,dizzy,restless and generally unusual u know.here is a brief list of the key areas/components that should be addressed:

• Physical activity - includes strength, flexibility, and endurance.

 Most healthy children and adults should be active on a daily basis. This should be a mix of both leisurely physical activity and structured exercise. Examples of leisurely physical activity include hiking, biking, and walking. Examples of more structured forms of exercise include strength training, running, and sports.

• Nutrition and diet - includes nutrient intake, fluid intake, and healthy digestion.

 A well-balanced diet should contain carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Restricting specific nutrients should only be done under the supervision of a licensed health professional. Fluid, ideally in the form of clean water, should be regularly consumed. Meals and snacks should be consumed throughout the day, and portion sizes should be sensible

• Alcohol and drugs - includes the abstinence from or reduced consumption of these substances

Substances that alter mood or other bodily processes should be limited or avoided. Those with addictive tendencies or other health risks should consider complete abstinence from these substances.

• Medical self-care - includes addressing minor ailments or injuries and seeking emergency care as necessary

Basic items, such as bandages, lozenges, and over-the-counter pain-relieving medications, should be easily accessible from home. Long-term coughing, fevers, or other ailments should be addressed through primary care. Emergency treatment should be sought when signs and symptoms are significant or life-threatening.

• Rest and sleep - includes periodic rest and relaxation, along  with high quality sleep

 While regular activity is essential for physical health, allowing the body to rest is just as important. Spending time relaxing or taking short naps can help rejuvenate the body. Sleep should take place in a quiet, dark environment and should last approximately 7-9 hours. Consistent sleep that is much shorter or longer than this duration, or is low quality, may need to be addressed by a health professional. 

LIVING HEALTHY

As the saying goes that health is wealth.
So am here to make you wealthy... Yaash.
Health according to WHO, is the state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. 
So that means one can be without disease but not healthy. 
There is need for balance in the physical, mental, social and otherwise. 
Then why are we after only the physical illness and tagging the mental illness like crazy.
For the social that is on another scale because some people get it twisted here. 
I will be taking them one after the other in my subsequent posts... 
Wait for it. 
Let's get healthy 
Let's get wealthy

Welcome

My purpose

Drive to do something great can be subdued by several factors, I have for a long time ago being wanting to start my own blog, for fun, more empowerment,to share my thoughts and knowledge because what I have for you all is a food that you will eat and digest and you will hunger no more, hnmmm.
But seriously there's a serious issue here that I will be talking about, starting from health related topics to career and choice of career, first hand entertainment 👊 gist like hot topics local and international,politics etc.
So this blog is going to be an hourly dose for you...winks.
I will love your comments and recommendations so much.

About to unzip it... 

Good morning my people

It's been a hectic night, looking at the clock, 8am seems like forever, I love being busy with my work but when it's otherwise, I tell you it could be boring.
Do you love what you do?
Does it give meaning to your life?
If the above question's answer is NO.
Change your lane or else you will be frustrated and transferring aggression unnecessarily.

ME

Before any other news, let me properly introduce myself.
I am Vivian C. Nwosu,
A nurse by profession, an internet writer, an adventurer etc
I come from a large family, in Anambra State, Nigeria.
In as much as Nigeria can be frustrating atimes, i cope with the help of my loved ones, music, movies and food.lol.
I love swimming but am scared of water, i love flight but am scared of height, i love happy and interesting people.
You can follow me on instagram @ vivnenye and on twitter @ olivepearl@Dazzlingolive86
Having fun is our physical purpose of being on earth and being holy is our spiritual reason so balancing the two is the best.💟

This is me. 

BELIEF

Belief is the confidence, trust and faith in something.
Religion is the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power especially a personal God or gods.
Why am I giving all the terms? 
Because the human race is confused right now! 
Christianity,islam,buddahism etc are all religions.
I am a staunch Catholic but that doesn't mean I should look down on any of my Christian brethren, the important base here is that we are all praying to the same God because we believe in the same God.
Same goes to other religions.
I ask myself how did we loose it that made us get to this phase of competition among each other.
And the crystal answer is that it's greed and quest for power and authority.
Imagine the unity that could have existed assuming we were one.OMG
But since we are already here,  let's know the truth and be united in our hearts even if we are not in the same roof.

Happy Sunday Everyone

The highest gospel ever preached.
Sermon on the mountain i.e the 8 beatitudes.

ALL ABOUT 2017

Its going to be a long walk, but we should try and not live by faith alone rather faith+work=productivity.
Nigeria seems to be depreciating everyday in our eyes.
I know some of us wonder how we got here but you are not alone in that thought.
You know what? Lets run away, lmfao.
Run to where? Lets make a plan an develop it, choose our leaders wisely and work with them.
Change our rusticated mindset and live right.
That is our revolution, that is our redemption.
God wont come down and tar our roads or cultivate for us.
Let all hands be on deck.

WELCOME GUYS

I have been planning on this project.

Owing my own blog, my own platform.

Its all about love, no hating.

LETS HAVE FUN.....
