Today's teaching will come with a question.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU DEWORMED❓

Having answered the question in your mind or battling with your thought to figure out the answer to the question,😄let's dive into the Topic of today "DEWORMING"
I am going to make it as simple as possible, just read through to the end and share for others to learn.

What is Deworming?
Deworming is simply the process of eliminating intestinal parasites, such as worms, using medication to give you a healthy digestive system.

How often should one deworm?
Two times a year, or every six months, beginning at the age of two years.

How does one know when to deworm?
When you experience symptoms such as abdominal pain, gas and bloating, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, unexplained weight loss.

Advice:
👉If you have not dewormed for long, run to your Pharmacist or any other healthcare provider to prescribe the best anthelminth that suits you.
👉Practice good hygiene; wash or sanitize your hands often.
👉Avoid raw or cooked foods that are dirty; wash thoroughly before ingesting raw food if you must.

I hope you have learnt something today.
See you in the next one.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTAINING A SLEEP SCHEDULE.
A sleep schedule is a daily routine consisting of fixed times for falling asleep at night and waking up in the morning. The recommended amount of sleep for a healthy adult is at least seven hours.

Following a consistent sleep schedule can:
📌Maintain the timing of the body's internal clock or circadian rhythm.
📌 Help you fall asleep and wake up more easily.
📌Lessen the risk of heart diseases and stroke.
📌Better stress level and boost mood.
📌Avoid sleep disorders.
📌Avoid the risk of obesity.
📌Maximize brain functions.
📌 Improve overall health quality.

Tips for creating and maintaining a healthy sleep schedule.
✅ Establish an evening routine.
✅Turn your bedroom into a sleep temple.
✅Do not spend too much time in bed if you don't want to sleep.
✅Cut down on the time you watch television and use phones, laptops and tablets close to bed time.
✅ Exercise during the day.
✅ Avoid consuming caffeine, alcohol or ni****ne close to bed time.
✅Limit naps during the day.

NOTE: Staying in bed when you’re awake can cause your body to associate your bed with wakefulness rather than sleep and also disrupt your sleep schedule.
Also taking much water close to bed time will make you wake up often to urinate at night and can disrupt your sleep schedule.
