🎄 DECEMBER TRUTH BOMB

It’s not the food… it’s what it does to your glucose

Festive season =
More carbs 🍰
More sugar 🍷
Less routine 😴

And your body feels it.

⸻

🧠 WHAT IS GLUCOSE?

Glucose is your body’s main fuel
✔️ Powers your brain
✔️ Fuels muscles
✔️ Keeps organs working

It comes from carbs and sugars — which we eat more of in December.

⸻

🔁 WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU EAT

1️⃣ Food → glucose enters your blood
2️⃣ Pancreas releases insulin
3️⃣ Insulin helps glucose enter cells for energy

If there’s extra:
• Stored as glycogen (short-term)
• Stored as fat (long-term)

⸻

⚠️ WHEN GLUCOSE STAYS HIGH

Over time:
• Insulin becomes less effective
• Cells stop responding
• More glucose → more fat storage

This leads to:
• Fatigue & brain fog
• Weight gain & cravings
• Inflammation
• Fatty liver
• Higher risk of diabetes & heart disease

⸻

🔬 WHY EXCESS GLUCOSE DAMAGES THE BODY

• Inflammation & oxidative stress
• Glycation (sugar damages collagen & tissues)
• Cells can’t use energy properly

This affects skin, muscles, nerves, eyes, kidneys — everything.

⸻

🎯 DECEMBER TAKE-HOME MESSAGE

You don’t need to be perfect.
But understanding blood sugar balance helps you:
✔️ Enjoy the season
✔️ Protect your energy
✔️ Reduce fat storage
✔️ Age better, not faster

Small daily choices > January panic.

✨ December is dark, busy and mentally heavy — but YOU still matter.
This month, protect your mood, movement & mindset.
Get sunlight, lift weights, connect socially, meditate, fuel well and don’t forget self-care.

Small habits = big resilience 🌱💪🧠

Let’s rise, relax and reboot this December ✨

THIS 👉 Energy, strength, longevity

or THAT 👉 Diabetes, pain, stroke

Life is choice.
Choose well. 🚀

Healthy habits now… or medication later.
The choice is yours. 💡

Self-care or self-neglect?
Movement or decline?
Choose wisely — your future depends on it.

Your body keeps score.
What are you teaching it? 👀

Would you believe someone who tells you to exercise…
if they don’t live it themselves?

I don’t just teach movement —
I practice it, rely on it, and become better because of it.

Why do I move?

✨ Mental & emotional health
✨ Strong bones
✨ Hormone regulation
✨ Muscle mass & posture
✨ Cardiovascular fitness
✨ Confidence, community and resilience

I move so I can keep doing what I love —
teaching, mothering, building, laughing, ageing boldly and staying independent for decades to come.

Movement isn’t aesthetics.
It is medicine.
It is discipline.
It is gratitude.

🇬🇧 Childhood obesity in the UK: this isn’t “baby fat” anymore.

📊 Key facts (2023/24):
• 1 in 10 Reception kids are obese
• Over 1 in 5 Year 6 kids are obese
• In the most deprived areas, nearly 1 in 3 Year 6 children live with obesity

This isn’t about “bad parents” – it’s about:
🍟 Cheap ultra-processed foods
🛋️ Less time to move, play, and be active
💷 Poverty and limited access to healthy options

🌱 What actually helps?
Small daily changes in:
🥗 Family food habits
🚶‍♂️ Active play & walking
🩺 Getting support early from health professionals

💚 Message to parents:
You’re not alone, and it’s not your fault. Tiny changes today can protect your child’s heart, joints and confidence for years to come.

🕐 60 mins every day of moderate–vigorous activity (running, cycling, swimming, active play)
• 💪 3 days/week: muscle-strengthening (climbing, gymnastics, yoga, monkey bars)
• 🦴 3 days/week: bone-strengthening (jumping, skipping, hopscotch, basketball, tennis)

Why it matters:
✅ Stronger bones & hearts
✅ Healthier weight
✅ Better mood & confidence

Simple rule:
👉 “1 hour of active play, every day.”

“Making Menopause Easier to Manage — One Healthy Choice at a Time”

😊Menopause changes everything — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

✔️But with the right lifestyle, medical, and emotional support, you can feel stronger, more balanced, and more you again.

Here’s what really helps 👇

🏋️‍♀️ Strength Training:
Builds muscle, protects joints, boosts mood and metabolism.

☀️ Vitamin D & Calcium:
Essential for bone health and muscle recovery.

💓 Cardiovascular Fitness:
Aim for 30 minutes, 5 days a week — walking, cycling, dancing, swimming — anything that moves you.

🥗 Healthy Eating:
Eat clean, whole, non-junk foods. Focus on protein, veggies, and hydration.
Limit alcohol and say no to smoking — your hormones will thank you.

🧠 Mental Health Matters:
Talk, journal, rest.
Get as much support as you need — you deserve to feel stable and understood.

🏠 Family Support:
Explain what’s happening. Tell them you’re struggling.
You’re not moody — you’re adapting to powerful hormonal changes.

💬 Seek Professional Advice:
Discuss your symptoms with your healthcare professional.
There are safe, effective options to help you through this transition.

💜 You’re not alone. We all feel it — and we can go through it together.

18/10/2025

Menopause can start as early as age 35 — yet so many women are told it’s “too soon,” or that they should “just manage” their symptoms.

We’re talking about a massive hormonal shift that affects every system — muscles, joints, skin, mood, metabolism, and even the brain.

💬 Imagine saying to a cancer patient, “Check your symptoms and sort it out .”

Sounds unthinkable, right?
Yet that’s exactly what many women hear when they ask for menopause support.

Menopause is a clinical, biological transition, not a mindset problem.
It deserves compassion, investigation, and proper treatment — not dismissal.

Menopause isn’t something you can just “manage” or “deal with.”

It’s a chemical shift that affects every cell, every joint, and every emotion.

Yet for years, women have been told to “get on with it,” as if this is something we can control through willpower alone.

💬 The reality?
Hormones aren’t optional — they’re the chemical messengers that keep your muscles, bones, brain, heart, and mood in sync.

When they fluctuate or decline, the whole body feels it

And yet, these symptoms are still pushed to the back burner.

🔥 It’s time we stop minimising menopause.

These changes are not easy, they’re not imagined, and they’re not your fault.



✨ This World Menopause Day, let’s change the narrative.
Let’s listen, support, and validate.
Because every woman deserves to feel strong, informed, and heard.

From aching legs and swollen joints to itchy shins and endless fatigue — these symptoms are real and deserve recognition.

💪 The musculoskeletal system feels the effects of hormonal shifts — collagen loss, inflammation, slower recovery, and muscle weakness.
Yet too often, women are told it’s “just stress” or “just ageing.”

This post is a reminder that:
• It’s not in your head.
• You’re not alone.
• Your body is asking for understanding, not dismissal.

I lost my mum today as a result of kidney failure , liver failure, heart failure and sepsis.

She had a hip replacement a year ago and her well controlled diabetes wasn’t under control anymore this caused chronic kidney disease , numerous dialysis visits and hospital visitations led to sepsis. The cause for her infection was unknown.

I got to see her last week and she recognised me for a minute and the very next day she was unresponsive .

After discussions with an intensivist, nephrologist, neurologist and infectious diseases specialist- the last option was to put her on life support which might give her few days or weeks. She had expressed her wishes to my dad a few weeks ago that she did not want to live the rest of her days in a hospital.

I had to convince my dad to let her pass away with dignity and make a compassionate decision , respect her wishes of not let her suffer anymore. We avoided putting her on a ventilator and let her body shut down with time. Within five days her body gave up after suffering from pneumonia.

I have registered for a wellness walk organised by to raise awareness about this silent killer

Stay healthy and fit
Life is short 🙏
