What Is Diabetes (Swahili) - Diabetes Series

Kisukari ni nini? By Global Health Media Project: https://globalhealthmedia.org This video explains what diabetes is. The video shows how when we eat food, most of it is broken down into sugar. The sugar in our blood is controlled by insulin. But if we don’t have enough insulin, sugar levels in our blood will rise and can cause damage to the body. This video is one of over 30 videos in our series on diabetes prevention and care. The videos are targeted for three audiences: health care workers – to help guide providers in developing countries in good diabetes care; people with diabetes – to improve their knowledge and home care; and the general public – to increase their understanding of diabetes, with the aim of greater awareness of the risks and symptoms, and ways to prevent type 2 diabetes.

How My Locs Journey Taught Me To Treat My Hair (And Myself) Better

As a little Dominican girl, I envied long, flowing hair — my mother’s and aunt’s beautiful soft wavy hair as well as my sister’s thick curls. I had kinkier, tighter coils that I wished were more manageable to untangle and style. At 9, I got my first relaxer for school pictures. As the white creamy mixture sat atop my virgin hair, the tingling sensation of my scalp signified the end of my childhood with kinky hair and the beginning of my life’s...

Sleep deprivation benefited our ancestors, yet harms us now — but staying fit may help us cope

Humans need less sleep than our closest evolutionary relatives. However, we often sleep less than we need. Needing less sleep is a consequence of our ancestors’ choices to remain awake longer — a behaviour that led to evolutionary benefits. Sleeping less than we need is the result of our modern-day choices to remain awake longer, but in this case the behaviour is detrimental to our health and well-being. Our research, however, finds that fitness...

Improves Cardiovascular Health: Walking is a cardiovascular exercise that helps strengthen the heart and improve circulation. Regular walking can lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease, and improve overall cardiovascular health. Aids in Weight Management: Walking can help burn calories and contribute to weight loss or weight maintenance. It's an accessible form of exercise for people of all fitness levels and can be an effective component of a weight management plan. Strengthens Muscles and Bones: Walking engages various muscle groups, including the legs, glutes, and core. Over time, regular walking can help strengthen these muscles and improve overall muscle tone. It also promotes bone density, which can help reduce the risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures. Boosts Mood and Mental Health: Physical activity, including walking, stimulates the release of endorphins, neurotransmitters that promote feelings of happiness and well-being. Walking outdoors in nature can also reduce stress, anxiety, and symptoms of depression, leading to improved mood and mental health. Increases Energy Levels: Engaging in regular walking workouts can increase energy levels and reduce feelings of fatigue. Even a short walk can help boost alertness and focus, making it an excellent option for a midday energy boost. Enhances Sleep Quality: Regular physical activity, such as walking, can improve sleep quality and duration. Walking in the morning or early evening can help regulate your sleep-wake cycle and promote restful sleep at night. Reduces Risk of Chronic Diseases: Walking has been linked to a reduced risk of various chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, and metabolic syndrome. It can also improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control in individuals with diabetes. Improves Joint Health and Mobility: Walking is a low-impact exercise that is gentle on the joints, making it suitable for people with arthritis or joint pain. Regular walking can help improve joint flexibility, reduce stiffness, and enhance overall mobility. ______ D I S C L A I M E R “How long does it take to see results?” One member sees results in 10 - 30 days does not mean you will get the same results like her. It’s because your body is different and unique (you have a SMALL BUILD or your starting size is BIGGER). And because there are so many different factors at play: how often you workout, the types of your workouts, body types, body weights, genetic, your age, food choices, meal portions, daily habits, lifestyle, living environment, you are being in calorie deficit or surplus, etc. – means that how quickly you see the results does not solely depend on my workouts, it’s the team work between YOU and I. Beginners (newbies, who never/barely exercise) and members with an average fit body, they often see results faster because their bodies adapt easily to the new changes. If you are not a beginner (even if you take a long break), your body needs more time to switch from old to new routines. And because of the differences among us (fitness goals, sizes, shapes, ages, health and physical conditions…), you should not rely on my workout as a substitute for, nor does it replace, professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Begin with your level, stay consistent with the programs/weekly plan on my website, build healthy eating habits, limit unhealthy foods and surround yourself with motivations. You will see results like many Inshape members do. Remember to take your Before photos and share your progress to inspire us ♡
