THE ILLS OF CARRYING BIG BAGS

hey readers how are you all doing this beautiful monday morning.This write up i'm about to put is for all my beautiful ladies out there that have a thing for big bags.I'm also guility of this offence, so after reading a certain piece of information i decided to share it with all them damsels out there.

We all know the basic contents in a woman's, these include a makeup purse,cells phones umbrella,purse,laptop,etc.With all of this the bag would weigh an awful lot.Its feels like lifting 10kg of rice on ur shoulder.I wish my mother could read this and stop carry the whole world in her handbag sha.

What heavy bags do to us.

• it affects the neck.
• it affects the shoulder and back.Carrying a heavy bag can overtime lead to painful arthritis in the facet joints, it can also lead to disc degeneration and prolapse overtime.The pain can be agonising and may even require surgery to be corrected. 
• it affects the arms.The arm that carries the bag is usually static while walking to keep the load still and balanced.Without the normal arm swing used as a balance mechanism, you can become slightly unsteady and might need greater effort to move.The nerves surrounding the arm could get irritated leading to chronic pains.
• it affects the legs. Carrying a heavy bag makes our steps shorter normally, this happens because our body tries to remain upright and control the load better.The more load in the bag the more pressure on the leg joints which overtime can cause wear and tear.It could also cause joint problems.

How we should carry our bags.

• The items in a bag should be limited and distributed evenly.If you need alot of items you can carry two bags(it may sound crazy but this is serious).
• If you have to carry one bag,don't carry it for too long.Try to switch sides at regular intervals, so the muscles can rest.
• A satchel-style bag dat crosses the body diagonally is also a good option as it balances the weight.
• A short strap is better than a long strap one because it brings the bag close to your body.

I hope you all learnt a thing or two from this write up.Do have a blessed day people

RAMADAN MESSAGE FOR PEACE

Dear Readers is ramadan the only time when there should be peace in the country.
Just thinking out aloud sha.

A PDP chieftain, Kawu Baraje, has appealed to people with criminal tendencies to show respect for the holy month of Ramadan and shun all negative tendencies.
Baraje,who is the proprietor of Baraje Centre for Arabic and Islamic Studies in Ilorin Kwara and a former PDP national chairman, made the call in his Ramadan message to Muslim faithful in Ilorin on Saturday.
He appealed to evil doers and criminals to shun killing of innocent souls and other social vices during the holy month of Ramadan by moving closer to God.
He said they should have a complete change of mind even after the Ramadan period because Islam preaches peace and harmony.
The PDP chieftain described the new dimension in crime wave in the country, such as bombing and kidnapping, as alien to Nigeria.
According to him, the actions are not only alien to our culture and tradition but also to both Islam and Christianity.
Baraje called on Muslim faithful and religious leaders to be more sincere and firm in their sermons so that people would change for the better.
He called on the government and the governed to continue to operate together and trust each other as preached by the Holy Prophet Mohammed in his time.
Baraje also urged security operatives to be more proactive in their efforts to curb crime, and the citizenry to always provide useful information to security agents about people with questionable characters.
He appealed to wealthy Muslim faithful to continue to give Zakat to the less privileged and donate generously to the propagation of Islam.

10 WAYS TO PREVENT A HEART ATTACK

Hello readers today i'm writing about very serious stuff.Pay serious attention to this write up even if your are not yet 30years of age.

The heart disease is the number one killer of men and women around the world.People over 65years of age are great at risk.8 out of 10 people over 65years usually die of a heart disease.
There are different ways to reduce the risk of a heart attack.

1) Know the early warning signs and seek treatment right away.
Typical symptoms of a pending heart attack will include; Chest pain,shortness of breath,palpitations (racing or pounding heart), swelling of the leg, bluish skin colour,a prolonged,unexplained cough,coughing up blood,persistent fatigue,passing out.

2) Talk to the doctor about medications that might increase risk.
Hormone replacement theraphy, rosiglitazone (for diabetes), and COX-2 inhibitors (for controlling arthritis pain) are all examples of medications that may increase the risk of heart attack. Review medications with the doctor and ask if there are less risky alternatives.

3) Control blood pressure.
High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart attack. If there is has been a diagnosis of pre-hypertension (120/80 mm Hg to 139/89 mm Hg) or hypertension 140/90 mm Hg or higher), blood pressure should be treated. The doctor will prescribe the appropriate medications, but blood pressure needs regular monitoring.

4) Make sure diabetes is under control.
Three out of four people with diabetes will die of some type of heart or vessel disease. But by keeping blood sugar under control and taking any recommended medication, a diabetic can reduce his risk.

5) Follow a heart-healthy diet.
The best bet is a diet rich in whole grains , vegetables, fruits,fish,poultry, lean meats , and low-fat or fat-free dairy products. You should limit intake of fat cholesterol. Women should consume no more than one alcoholic beverage per day, men no more than (i didn'y say you pple shld become drunks ohhhhhh).

6) Regular exercise.
Exercise is essential for general cardio-vascular health and its key to preventing a heart attack.It is recommended to accumulate at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity at least five days a week on most days.

7) Achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
Being overweight or obese is a major risk factor for heart disease.The best way to determine whether you are overweight or obese is to calculate your body mass index, or BMI. You can calculate their BMI at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website. People with a BMI of 25.0 to 29.9 are considered overweight; people with a BMI of 30.0 or greater are considered obese. If you meet either of these criteria, talk to the doctor about setting safe weight-loss goals. The best way to lose weight is by limiting calories and increasing activity, but if that approach is unsuccessful, counseling or even medical intervention may be necessary.

8) Stop smoking.
Smoking is one of the biggest risk factors for heart attack. If you smoke, quitting can reduce the risk of heart attack by 50% or more.

9) Manage stress and depression.
Emotional and psychological state can have a very real effect on physical health. An important aspect of maintaining good cardiovascular health and avoiding heart attack is minimising stress,anger, and depression.Try these stress-busting strategies:
• Cut back on caffeinated beverages and alcohol.
• Try meditation or yoga.
• Play relaxing music.
• Go for a walk outdoors.
• For parents, if you’ve tried everything and still feel concerned about their mood, talk to his doctor. Depression is a serious but treatable illness.
10) Keep “bad” cholesterol levels low.Another major risk factors for heart attack is a high bloodstream level of LDL, or “bad” cholesterol. Ideally, total cholesterol should be no more than 200 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter), and no more than five times the level of HDL or “good” cholesterol; LDL levels should be below 70 mg/dL. Make sure cholesterol levels are checked regularly and treated if necessary. Following a low-fat diet and exercising regularly may help, but it might not be enough. If cholesterol levels don’t respond to lifestyle changes, the doctor may prescribe medication.
So with all of these tips i hope y'all have learnt a thing or two.
Do have a healthy life henceforth.
Me always.
