🧠🚶‍♂️ *WALKING BENEFITS EXPLAINED*

Walking is one of the simplest yet most powerful forms of exercise. Here's how your body and mind benefit minute by minute:

⏱ *1 Minute – Blood Flow Elevates*
Just 60 seconds in, your heart rate rises slightly, promoting better circulation. This sends more oxygen to your muscles and brain waking up your system! ❤️

⏱ *5 Minutes – Mood Improves*
Gentle movement boosts endorphin levels, improving your mood and reducing feelings of tension or stress. 🧘‍♂️

⏱ *10 Minutes – Cortisol Reduces*
Walking helps lower *cortisol*, the stress hormone. Less cortisol = less anxiety and improved hormonal balance. 🔽🧪

⏱ *15 Minutes – Blood Sugar Drops*
A short walk after meals can help lower blood sugar by increasing insulin sensitivity and moving glucose into your muscles. 🍽️🔬

⏱ *30 Minutes – Fat Burning Begins*
Your body taps into fat stores for energy, especially during steady-paced walking. This supports weight loss and metabolism. 🔥

⏱ *45 Minutes – Overthinking Reduces*
Extended walking clears the mind, reduces mental fatigue, and supports better decision-making and emotional balance. 🧠🌤️

⏱ *60 Minutes – Dopamine Increases*
Dopamine, the “feel good” brain chemical, rises leaving you feeling happier, more motivated, and mentally refreshed. 😊✨

💬 *Why It Matters:*
Walking is free, accessible, and incredibly effective for both physical and mental health. Whether it’s 5 or 60 minutes every step counts!

Intrauterine Device (IUD,IUCD)

Let’s talk about the *Copper IUD*... also known as *Cu-IUD or Copper-T*

As shown in the attached photo, it is a tiny T-shaped device that works to prevent pregnancy ... Without hormones.

💉This device is wrapped with copper wire and is placed inside your uterus by a trained doctor/nurse/clinician. The process isn't painful.. but can be uncomfortable (remember anything that goes through the va**na might feel a bit uncomfortable)

So how does it work?

🧲 Copper is toxic to s***m... so it messes with how they move and survive... basically making sure fertilization doesn’t happen at all. When s***m meets copper inside the uterus, they get *"destroyed"*

It’s over 99% effective and can last for *up to 10 years*... depending on the brand (like TCu-380A or Multiload).

Now, a heads up... it *might cause heavier periods and cramps* at first, especially in the first few months after insertion.

But for many, it settles down with time. Just like the hormonal IUD type.

Cost? It’s pretty affordable and even free in some government facilities. In private clinics, it might range from *Ksh 1,000 to 5,000* (in Kenya).

It's best for those who want *long-term, hormone-free contraception*.

🚫 Not suitable for people with *current pelvic infections, unexplained va**nal bleeding, or Wilson’s disease (a rare condition that affects copper storage).*

And now the biggest myth to bust today?

No... the Cu-IUD does *not get lost* in the body or move to your heart
It stays in the uterus, and your doctor can always remove it if you ever change your mind.

Let’s meet tomorrow on our season finale to talk about *barrier methods* like condoms and diaphragms.

Brown sticky discharge can be caused by several things, most of which are not serious, but it's good you’re being cautious. Here's a breakdown:

*Possible causes:*
1. *Old blood:* If it's around your period, it could just be old blood exiting slowly.

2. *Hormonal imbalance:* Irregular cycles or use of birth control (e.g. pills, injections) can cause brown discharge.

3. *Infections:* Sometimes bacterial vaginosis or STIs (like chlamydia) can cause brown or abnormal discharge, often with odor or irritation.

4. *Pregnancy-related:* It can be early pregnancy spotting or a sign of complications like miscarriage.

5. *Cervical or uterine issues:* Polyps, fibroids, or even cervical irritation.

6. *Stress:* Can affect your hormones and cycle as well.

*What to do:*
- If it persists beyond a few days or has a bad smell, itching, or pain — *get checked*.

- You may need a pelvic exam, STI screening, or hormonal tests.

- Avoid self-medicating until you're sure of the cause.
