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 this ammonia come from? Ammonia is generated from the breakdown of proteins. For the records, every single cell in your body is built with protein because proteins are the major building blocks of a cell. This is basic Knowledge. So, you can imagine the quantity of urea produced by your body daily. 

CONSEQUNCE OF NOT PASSING OUT UREA

When this urea is not passed out through urine, uremic toxins accumulate in the blood, and this distorts the acid-base balance of the blood. Uremic encephalopathy could develop. This leads to stroke or heart attack amongst other life-threatening effects.

As simple as the act of urinating seems we must not take it for granted. The kidney is able to flush out uremic toxins (ammonia and carbon dioxide) from our body through the process of urinating. Most of us who are able to pass out urine do not know the miraculous importance of this process 👍.

SUPERFECUNDATION AND SUPERFETATION

Do you know that there is a biological explanation for the famous twins with different skin colors? The biology behind them is superfecundation. WHAT IS SUPERFECUNDATION  It is the fertilization of two or more ova from the same cycle by sperm from separate acts of sexual intercourse, which can lead to twin babies from two separate biological fathers . There are two types of superfecundation: 1.     Homopaternal superfecundation : This is the fertilization of two separate ova from the same father, leading to fraternal twins . 2.     Heteropaternal superfecundation : This is a form of atypical twinning where, genetically, the twins are half siblings – sharing the same mother, but with different fathers . Sperm cells can live inside a female’s body for up to five days, and once ovulation occurs, the egg remains viable for 12–48 hours before it begins to disintegrate . Superfecundation most commonly happens within hours or days of the first instance of fertilization with ova rele

MEDICAL MYTHS DEBUNKED

INTRODUCTION I was speaking to a woman who complained that her daughter was uncontrollably passing stool containing blood and mucus. She was quite worried, and we were exploring her options of what could be wrong with her little baby. All of a sudden, she said, “Or did my baby consume sperm? But I haven’t done anything with my husband for a while now. Besides, I am in my period and, my baby has not suckled my breast for like two days now”. Hmmm, I was dumbfounded. I was literally confused and amused (even though it was not funny). There was a feeling of pity and utter confusion within me. Yes, I felt pity for the woman who was so confused and vulnerable to believe anything. Maybe it was not her fault because of her state of mind at that moment. Whatever the case was, I was just lost in her words. Anyway, let’s talk about the main point of this particular post. Is it just possible for us to ‘not spread’ information we are not certain of, especially when it comes to medical infor
