10 HABITS THAT MAY PROMOTE THE SPREAD OF CORONAVIRUS!

-


Good day my wonderful readers, thanks for always reading. I will like to start with words of encouragement as usual.
Change is one constant factor in life, it will always come.To be happy however, you must learn how to cope with change. Do not sit down to wait till things get better, get your hands dirty, keep moving, never let go of your good imaginations, keep hoping, keep working, one day you will get what you want out of life. (have you read the book 'who moved my cheese?').

Hmm, so many things out there on this corona virus, high level of fear and confusion out there. I must confess I didn't want to blog on corona virus because there are so many information out there already, but because it is a trending health issue, it is important we discuss it.

By now I am sure most people know what the virus is and how it spreads. Today, I am just going to discuss the habits that may promote the spread of the virus.

1. Picking of nose. If you must do it, then wash your hands first.


2. Rubbing of eyes. Again do it after hand washing



3. Eating on  the street. Hand washing here cannot be overemphasized



4. Boarding over filled bus. Overcrowded space is a nidus for spread of infection. Avoid large crowds.



5. Use of handkerchief. It is better to use disposable towels or tissue which should be disposed properly in a closed bin.


6.  Blowing a child's nose with your mouth or without washing hands before or after even if you used your hands.


7. sneezing and coughing into the air. You should sneeze or cough in the flexion of your elbow.


8. self medication. See a medical practitioner at any slight sign of flu. (cough, fever and catarrh)


9. Not washing hands. Hand washing is a ritual you must perform. 


10. Wrong way of wearing face masks. Whether you have flu or not, wear the colored part out.
Avoid touching the surface of the mask when removing it.
 You should also know that it's not necessary except you are sick or caring for those with corona virus.




In conclusion, I will say DO NOT PANIC.Take appropriate steps only and listen to advice from medical practitioner only. Nobody should drink or bathe with salt water please or do any non prescribed acts to prevent the virus! be informed!

HOW YOU CAN ENJOY SWEET FOOD WITHOUT MUCH SALT

In 200level medical school, I had this room mate who was a good cook but her food seems saltless to my taste bud. Tolulope, now Dr Akinnimi Tolulope will cook nice food yet with as little salt and oil as possible. It was strange to me even though then I had a little knowledge of why I should reduce salt intake but I couldn't really comprehend the greatness of its importance.  Looking back now, with so much medical knowledge I have gained over 8 years ago, I must say that my room mate was wiser then. You see, one thing about habit changing is that it could look strange to you and others at first but when you keep at it, it becomes your character. Reduction of salt in diet can become a part of you. Wait, salt is very important, yes, very very impotant. Salt is used for preserving food and to prevent food spoilage, we also use it more importantly to add taste to our food. Salt (table salt) contains sodium and chlorine. It is this sodium content that we need to watch, since we cannot s...
