5 Weekend Health Hazards...

Food Poisoning...
As you step out for the evening, be mindful of what you eat or drink. The risk of food poisoning is so real and it could result in a dysentery. If you have to try out new foods, have a little else you run the risk of spoiling your evening with a stomach upset..

 Drunk Driving...
I've heard a couple of guys say.. ''I drive better when i'm tipsy'' ....*eyes popping* Like seriously?? How possible is this? When you tipsy you feel lighter than normal and totally oblivious of your surrounding or actions. Too much alcohol alters your decision making capabilities and you stand the risk of endangering your life. 
Over the weekend, 60% of road traffic accidents are commonly attributed to drunk driving. Please be careful while partying..have a friend drive you home if u don't feel up to it.

Texting & Driving...
You'll hurt yourself if you still engage in this act. Take a break from your phone while behind the wheels. The messages can wait, you could return those urgent calls when you packed safely. Engaging in this act not only puts your life at risk, you are also endangering the life of other road users... 

 Beach fun...
If you have to be at the beach over the weekend, you should be mindful of your conduct. I'll advise you don't go wave chasing or beach diving... People lose their life easily at beaches by engaging in dangerous stunts and water tricks.... THE BEACH IS NOT A POOL ...You should always remember this.

 Be security conscious...
While you enjoy the weekend, It's imperative that you keep a third eye. Obey your instincts at all times, it's been known to save the day. Keep your car doors closed and avoid awkward situations. It's safer not to display luxury items in your car, it will keep your car from been burgled.

 Be sure to have a lovely weekend and stay save at all times....Remember the safest way is always the best way! *winks*

What do I need to know about Fura de nunu.........

Image
Fura de nunu is a local drink derived from fresh cow milk. It is popular in the northern part of Nigeria and a choice brand for most people.  I've seen quiet a couple of people enjoy this drink but the question is this..How safe is it drinking raw milk from he teats of dairy cows? Is it healthy eating local milk dishes such as fura de nunu which is popularly served in many parts of the country with herdsmen?  Let us not forget that fura de nunu  is made from unpasteurized milk. Is it healthy to indulge then? the answer is a clear NO! Let us take our minds through the entire milking process...During the milking of a cow, the animal sometimes gets irritated and then begins to use its legs to raise dust and dirt..,all these in one way or another find their way back into the bowl of milk. How about considering the fact that as cows graze the fields, they are likely to come in contact with some bacteria and fungi that cling to their body (the teats are not left out) and during m

Manual Handling.......Possible Cause of Backache?

Image
Growing up as a female child ,I was taught to sweep the house bending really low to the ground as I would always recall my mum's constant reminder on the need to sweep the house with the body of the broom and not the tip. A norm common in various homes not just mine..... Backache is a major health issue every where in the world. One third of all work related injuries back ache inclusive is caused by manual handling... Performing house chores and lifting heavy materials at work are one of the many ways through which we can experience these aches. Other ways include improper seating positions at work and sleeping on a rather too soft bed...This is particular important for the aged because as they advance in age ,they require a mattress that would provide all the support for their joints,back and overall body. A good example of such is the Orthopedic Mattress. In performing house chores,vacuum cleaners,long brooms or brushes can be used to avoid bending and twistin
