Warning! - These 3 Things Might Kill You Before Your Time

In today's world, many people are concerned about their health and the potential dangers that may threaten it. Unfortunately, there are many things that can kill you before your time, but some are more common than others. 

In this article, we will discuss three of the top things that can take your life prematurely: 

1. Heart Disease

Heart disease is a term that covers a variety of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels. The most common form of heart disease is coronary artery disease, which occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked by plaque. This can lead to chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, and even heart attack. Other types of heart disease include heart valve problems, arrhythmias, and heart failure. Risk factors for heart disease include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, and a sedentary lifestyle.

2. Cancer

Cancer is a disease that is characterized by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. These cells can invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body, leading to serious health problems. Common types of cancer include lung, breast, prostate, and colon cancer. Risk factors for cancer include exposure to certain chemicals, radiation, and viruses, as well as smoking, poor diet, and lack of physical activity.

3. Stroke

A stroke is a medical condition in which the blood supply to the brain is interrupted, resulting in brain damage. This can lead to a wide range of symptoms, including weakness or numbness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking or understanding speech, and vision problems. There are two main types of stroke: ischemic, which is caused by a clot in the blood vessels supplying the brain, and hemorrhagic, which is caused by bleeding in the brain. Risk factors for stroke include high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol, and a family history of stroke.

In conclusion, heart disease, cancer, and stroke are three of the top things that can kill you before your time. It's important to be aware of the risk factors for these conditions and to take steps to reduce your risk. This includes eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, not smoking, and managing any chronic health conditions you may have. By taking care of your health, you can help ensure that you will live a long and healthy life.

How to Stop, Slow, Reverse Gray Hair

It is not currently possible to reverse gray hair naturally. The process of graying is caused by a natural loss of pigment cells in the hair follicle, and this process is a normal part of aging. 

Some people may notice an increase in the amount of gray hair they have as they get older, while others may retain their natural hair color for a longer period of time.

There are a few things you can try that may help to slow the process of graying or conceal gray hairs:

Eat a healthy diet: A diet that is rich in vitamins and minerals, especially those found in fruits and vegetables, may help to keep your hair healthy and prevent premature graying.

Reduce stress: High levels of stress can contribute to hair loss and graying, so finding ways to manage and reduce stress may help to preserve your natural hair color.

Avoid harsh hair treatments: Chemical treatments, such as bleaching or perming, can damage the hair and lead to premature graying. Try to use natural hair care products and avoid heat styling as much as possible.

Use hair dye: If you would like to conceal your gray hairs, you can use a hair dye to color your hair. Be sure to choose a dye that is suitable for your hair type and follow the instructions carefully to avoid damaging your hair.

It's important to remember that graying is a normal part of the aging process and there is no way to completely reverse it. However, by taking care of your hair and adopting a healthy lifestyle, you may be able to slow the process and keep your hair looking its best.

How to Get Pregnant Fast - How to Get Pregnant

So you want to get pregnant, fast? There are a few things you can try if you are trying to get pregnant:

Understand your menstrual cycle

Your menstrual cycle is the number of days between the first day of your period and the first day of your next period. Ovulation, or the release of an egg from the ovary, typically occurs around the 14th day of a 28-day menstrual cycle. This is the time when you are most likely to get pregnant because the egg is available to be fertilized by sperm. 

To track your menstrual cycle, you can use a calendar, an app, or a basal body temperature chart.

Have regular, unprotected sex

To increase your chances of getting pregnant, it is important to have regular, unprotected sex every two to three days during your fertile window. The fertile window is the time when you are most likely to get pregnant, and it typically occurs in the days leading up to and including ovulation. 

It is also important to use a lubricant that is sperm-friendly, as some lubricants can kill sperm or make it more difficult for them to swim.

Maintain a healthy lifestyle

Maintaining a healthy weight, eating a well-balanced diet, and avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption can all increase your chances of getting pregnant. Being overweight or underweight can disrupt ovulation and make it more difficult to get pregnant. 

Eating a healthy diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help regulate your menstrual cycle and support fertility. Avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption can also improve your chances of getting pregnant.

Visit a fertility specialist

If you have been trying to get pregnant for a year or more without success, it may be a good idea to visit a fertility specialist. They can help diagnose and treat any underlying fertility issues. 

A fertility specialist may recommend treatments such as fertility drugs to stimulate ovulation, intrauterine insemination (IUI), or in vitro fertilization (IVF) to help you get pregnant.

In conclusion

It's important to keep in mind that getting pregnant can take time, and there is no guaranteed way to get pregnant quickly. It's always a good idea to talk to a healthcare provider about your specific situation and any concerns you may have.

Best Foods to Slow / Reverse Hair Greying

There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that specific foods can slow or reverse the process of graying hair. The color of your hair is determined by a pigment called melanin, which is produced by cells called melanocytes. 

As we age, the production of melanin decreases, leading to the appearance of gray hair. While it is not possible to change the genetics that determine when and how quickly we begin to gray, a healthy diet that includes a variety of nutrients can support overall health, including the health of your hair.

Some nutrients that may be beneficial for hair health include:

  • Protein: Hair is made up of a protein called keratin, so it is important to consume enough protein to support hair growth and health. Good sources of protein include poultry, fish, eggs, beans, nuts, and seeds.
  • Iron: Iron is necessary for the production of red blood cells, which carry oxygen to the cells in the body. Low levels of iron can lead to anemia, a condition that can cause hair loss. Good sources of iron include red meat, poultry, fish, beans, lentils, and tofu.
  • Zinc: Zinc is involved in the production of collagen, a protein that gives structure to hair, skin, and nails. Good sources of zinc include red meat, poultry, seafood, beans, nuts, and whole grains.
  • Vitamins A, C, and E: These vitamins are antioxidants that may help protect the hair from damage caused by free radicals. Good sources of vitamin A include sweet potatoes, carrots, spinach, and eggs. Good sources of vitamin C include oranges, strawberries, and bell peppers. Good sources of vitamin E include nuts, seeds, and avocado. 

It is also important to drink plenty of water and to avoid using harsh hair products, as these can damage the hair and contribute to graying. If you are concerned about the health of your hair, it is a good idea to talk to a dermatologist or a healthcare professional. They can recommend treatments or lifestyle changes that may be helpful for maintaining the health of your hair.

Senior Nairobi police officer Moses Ombati told the BBC the patients had staged a protest, before overpowering guards and escaping. 

The hospital reported the escape to police on Sunday, divisional police chief Samuel Anampiu is quoted by the Standard as saying.

Sad News: The Conjoined Nakuru Twins Are Dead - Kenyatta National Hospital Reports

Conjoined Nakuru Twins Die at Kenyatta National Hospital

It is supposed to be a mother’s day weekend yet one woman is at loss in trying to figure out the death omen that visited her this Saturday morning. Kenyatta National Hospital Nairobi has confirmed that the conjoined twins born in Nakuru died this Saturday Morning.

Earlier, Doctors and specialists had indicated that the twins shared body organs and therefore could not be surgically separated in any way. The y both shared sexual organs, liver, kidneys, heart, bladder, kidneys and rib cage. They also had three hands and two separate heads and two legs.

Kenyatta National Hospital Chief Executive Officer;  Richard  Lesiyampe said that doctors worked hard and explored all avenues in trying to save the lives of the two twins, but all was in vain.

The Mother to the twins; Evelyn Omodho  had gone to Rift Valley General Hospital for normal child delivery: hoping that one of her twins would be a female and the other male. Evelyn who is  a small business woman at Ole Nguroine (in Rift Valley) was however shocked to have delivered conjoined twins. After delivery, she was immediately referred to Kenyatta National Hospital for further follow up.

‘I want to sincerely thank all the Doctors and Specialists who were involved for tirelessly working in trying to save the life of my little angels. They honestly did their best, but God’s will prevailed. These Doctors are very friendly. I have never seen such doctors who are always ready to help. May the Almighty God reward them. May they live long to serve others in our beloved country’…….Evelyn Omodho (The Late Twin’s Mother).

‘We thank them for they did their best. Other Doctors and nurses should emulate them’..Gilbert Tum (The Late Twin’s Father).

Decision Times Kenya wishes the family, friends and relatives of the twin’s strength and courage as they go through this tormenting moment. Surely, God has a reason for letting things happen. We may never understand his intention, but we’ve got to trust in his will. Poleni sana and be strong.
