*Skin Bleaching: A New Pandemic Among African Women—At What Cost?* 50% of African women bleach their skin. Bleaching creams and injections put you at risk of skin cancer (which is uncommon in Black skin but occurs more frequently in women who bleach), damage to vital organs such as the liver and kidneys, skin irritation and allergies, infections, stretch marks, diabetes, hypertension, burns, rashes, wrinkles, premature aging, birth defects, and delayed wound healing. In January 2023, Togo reported its first case of squamous cell carcinoma (skin cancer) linked to skin bleaching products. Many other cancer cases have been reported across Africa. As of this writing, melanin is valued at over $400 per gram—far more than gold, which is worth $75 per gram. *This means a melanated body holds more value than one merely coated in gold.* Follow PodMyth for More Insights: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VatQmvjKmCPKQt7clb1s ©️PodPosts.

*🚨From a Man's Perspective!* *_💥Hakuna baba vasina basa ,kunyangwe vasina basa (job)- vane basa!_* "Haisi kids game" trying to make a dollar out of 15 Zig. Maonero ndiwo anotisiyanisa. Step into the shoes of a man who is trying to make ends meet (ants meat 🐜-🥩) for his family. Haisi oversize here? Ngatimbovapei maruva, tisamirire zuva rekufa kwavo! Vanofanirwa kutendwa zvawo vanhu ivavo. Hakuna baba vasina basa, chero vasina basa ivavo vane basa(job)! Take it from someone who knows the importance of a father & the impact of losing one. Forgive your father for not playing his part as you think he ought to have. Enough with the accusations & belittling “If my father was rich, I won’t be suffering today” or “What was he doing when his mates were making money?”, it’s not like his father passed wealth to him & he wasted it. A man is not allowed to feel, be real, explain, express and when they do they lose the upper hand - they're valued by what they provide. Once you start making money & have people depend on you for their survival, you’d know how hard a father’s role is. I believe fathers aren’t appreciated enough, a lot of them do embarrassing jobs, take disrespect from their bosses, work endlessly barely resting, just to make money to take care of their families Even if your father is a poor man, still respect him. Know this, no man will be at peace with him being unable to provide for his home. He might not show it, but it eats him every single day. And don't think he's too lazy to think of plan or implement it, life happens, things don't always go according to plan. But know this, every father wishes to be a father his children would be proud of That your father is a drunkard isn't a reason to disrespect him. Sometimes the only escape he has from thoughts of failing to live up to your expectations is through the bottle. Cut him slack, nothing stresses a man than the inability to give his children the world Respect your father regardless of his status in society & his financial situation. You have to obey him. You have to love him. You must understand his life path & mistakes. You are a man, you will make mistakes as well. Respect him.

*HYPERTENSION NUGGETS*♥️ https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaEvr1D2Jl8FqPbdgh2d *Funny Thought:* If a person has high blood pressure, would blood shoot out their body with more pressure upon being wounded?🤔 *Focus🔑* Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is one of the most common and dangerous health problems worldwide. Over 1 billion people live with it, and many don’t even know they have it. It’s often called the *"silent killer"* because it can harm your body for years without showing any clear symptoms. Hypertension quietly damages vital organs like your heart, brain, kidneys, and eyes. If left untreated, it can lead to serious health problems, including heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and even blindness. Let us dive deeper 👇🏾 *🔑 WHAT IS HYPERTENSION?* Blood pressure is the force of your blood pushing against the walls of your arteries. Hypertension happens when this pressure is consistently too high. Over time, the extra force strains your arteries and organs, increasing the risk of health issues. *🔑 TYPES OF HYPERTENSION* - Primary Hypertension -This is the most common type, developing gradually over time without a specific cause.Plaque buildup in the arteries, called atherosclerosis, increases the risk of high blood pressure. - Secondary Hypertension -This is caused by another condition like kidney disease, hormonal imbalances, or certain medications. *🔑 WHAT CAUSES HYPERTENSION?* Several factors can increase your risk, like: - Family history of high blood pressure(heritable) - Unhealthy diet, especially high salt intake - Lack of exercise - Being overweight or obese - Smoking and excessive alcohol use - Chronic stress - ⁠Certain medical conditions like diabetes or kidney disease *🔑 WHO IS AT RISK?* Hypertension affects anyone, but some groups are more at risk: - People over 40 years old - Individuals with a family history of high blood pressure - Those living with obesity or diabetes - People of certain ethnicities, like African or South Asian descent - ⁠Pregnant mothers *🔑 SYMPTOMS OF HYPERTENSION* Most people with hypertension have no obvious symptoms, even when their blood pressure is dangerously high. In rare cases, severe hypertension may cause headaches, chest pain, or vision problems. *🔑 IT CAN GET COMPLICATED* - It makes your heart work harder, leading to conditions like heart attacks or heart failure. - High pressure can cause blood vessels in the (e) brain to burst or become blocked. - It can reduce your kidneys’ ability to filter waste. - High pressure can damage the blood vessels in your eyes.
