A TEEN'S STORY

When I was 12, I ran away from home. I had no idea where I was going. I just wanted to disappear and start another life somewhere new. I still laugh when I remember that😂 There’s this pressure that comes with being an adolescent. And I think the stage of adolescence is the toughest and most delicate stage in anyone’s life. This is when most mistakes are made. Being an adolescent is even tougher than being an adult because as an adult you see more clearly to make some decisions whether they are wrong or right. But as an adolescent, everything is blurry, and life becomes so confusing. One hardly makes the right decisions at that stage. Dear parents, please be gentle with your teens. We’ve all been there, and we all can attest that it’s not a smooth ride. A toast to us all who made it through that stage, we are awesome✌💖 how tough was your adolescent age and how did you deal with it? share your lessons in the comment section.

HOW YOUR URINE SAVES YOU FROM STROKE

HOW YOUR URINE SAVES YOU FROM STROKE Whenever you pee, just say “thank you Jesus” 😕 . Why? Do you know that not urinating can cause stroke? You probably didn’t know that right? Now, urinating removes about 25-30 grams of urea from your body every day. This prevents a medical condition known as UREMIA. Uremia is simply the presence of excess urea in the blood. So, what then is urea ? WHAT IS UREA               Urea is a chemical compound produced in the liver. It is produced from mostly ammonia and carbon dioxide. But urea is not the problem here as it can be considered nontoxic. The main problem is the chemical constituents of urea which are ammonia and carbon dioxide. These are extremely toxic to the system 😨. And because of the toxicity of these substances, they must be packaged to form urea and excreted via urine. Urea is one of the safest ways the body can excrete these substances. WHERE DOES AMMONIA COME FROM? Another question one might be tempted to ask is, where does

Her surgery was successful, but she’ll eventually need a heart transplant . ü    t he fairy fly, which is a kind of wasp, has the smallest heart of any living creature.

HEPATITIS B

What is hepatitis b? It is simply an infection of the liver. As simple as those sounds, it’s quite dangerous. The liver is inflamed in the process of an attack by hepatitis B virus. It is worthy of note that a lot of substances whether endogenous (produced by the body) or exogenous (produced from substances from outside the body) pass through the liver for detoxification before excretion by excretory organs or uptake by the blood. This is one of the dangers of hepatitis B. So, if the liver which receives the highest quantity of blood in the body is inflamed, there will be no detoxification and one can only but imagine the quantity of toxins and poisons the body would accumulate and the disastrous effects that would have on the entire body system. Another danger of this is that the liver has the ability to function even when 80% of its cells are infected. So, it is difficult to detect at early stage.  Causes of hepatitis b Like I mentioned earlier, it is gotten from its virus. But i
