For many decades—even over a century—we were taught that carbohydrates should be the cornerstone of a healthy diet. Foods like bread, pasta, rice, posho, and other grains occupied the base of the traditional food pyramid, while proteins and fats were treated as secondary.

Today, nutrition science paints a very different picture.

Growing evidence shows that many people function better when protein and healthy fats form the foundation of their meals, complemented by vegetables, fruits, and deliberate, mindful carbohydrate choices.

This shift is not a passing trend. It reflects a more advanced understanding of human physiology, metabolism, and how appetite is regulated.

Proteins and fats are not just nutrients for building muscle. They are essential to the proper functioning of nearly every system in the body.

There has been a significant shift in nutrition science—the food pyramid has been reversed.

To those who strongly opposed this perspective, what is your position now?

I’ve been teaching this concept for the last six years, long before it became mainstream. Kati mutugambaki?

People should come to an understanding and respect our profession, just like they respect pilots and Surgeons, we went to school for years not to goggle for minutes .

Google is not a university please. Listen to the professions for expert advice and pay for it.

You have been told to cut down on salt because you have Hypertension.

Salt was painted as the culprit.

You also see salt as the cause of your problem which makes you avoid it like plaque.

See, salt may be perceived to have bad implications in the pathophysiology of hypertension but it isn't the real cause of hypertension.

And if you must break free from hypertension, you need to deal with the root.

Otherwise, you will continue doing the wrong thing and end up with complications like stroke, heart attack, myocardial infarction etc.

If you want to break free from hypertension, you should avoid processed food, refine carbs, seed oils, margarine, bread, energy and fizzy drinks.

You can also avoid or limit stock cubes, sugary fruits or juices.

Start doing light cardio e.g brisk walking.

You don't have to kill yourself with rigorous exercise.

Engaging in intermittent fasting like 18/6.

Manage stress.

Can you now see that salts are not the culprit .

Salt is very important in your life.

Your body organs and tissues need salts to function properly.

Organs like guts(digestive system), liver, kidney, heart, brain, muscles, skin etc

So, eat salt.

You need to unlearn certain things, that is why your health is suffering.

I know a lot of people that were told not to eat salt and some other healthy foods that can be of great help to their body system , they kept on loading them with drugs instead of fixing their diet.

Do you know there are people who still eat salt and have their BP reversed from high to normal?

Some of these people are not even on antihypertensive medications.

So which category did you want to belong to?

The choice is yours .

Ps: All salt is good but it's better se either Celtic salt, pink Himalayan or sea salts

You can grow an apple at home, but the method depends on whether you want a real fruit-producing tree or just a fun indoor project. Here’s the clear guide for both:

---

🍎 1. Easiest Method: Grow a Real Apple at Home (Using a Young Tree)

If your goal is to actually get apples, this is the best way.

✅ What you need

A dwarf or miniature apple tree

Large pot (at least 30–40 liters)

Good potting soil

Sunny place (balcony, veranda, or near a window with strong light)

🌱 Steps

1. Buy a grafted dwarf apple tree
– These start producing fruits in 1–2 years.
– They are bred to be small and suitable for home growing.

2. Choose the right container
– Make drainage holes.
– Fill with nutrient-rich soil.

3. Plant the tree
– Keep the graft union (the small bump on the trunk) above soil level.

4. Place it in full sun
– Apples need 6–8 hours of sunlight per day.

5. Watering
– Keep the soil moist but not soaked.
– Water when the top 5 cm of soil feels dry.

6. Fertilize monthly
– Use fruit tree fertilizer or organic compost.

7. Pollination
– Some apple varieties need another tree nearby.
– Choose self-fertile varieties if you only want one pot.

---

🍏 2. Growing From Seed (Fun, but not the best for fruit)

Growing from seed is enjoyable—but the tree may take 5–10 years to fruit and may not taste the same as the parent apple.

🌱 Steps

1. Remove seeds from an apple.

2. Rinse and dry them.

3. Wrap seeds in a damp paper towel.

4. Put in a plastic bag and refrigerate for 4–6 weeks (cold stratification).

5. After they sprout, plant them in small pots.

6. Give lots of sunlight.

7. Transplant to a bigger pot as it grows.

This is better as a learning experiment than for fruit production.

---

🍃 Best Option for You

If you want actual apples, go with a dwarf grafted tree.
If you want an indoor plant for fun, try growing from seed.

---

If you want, I can also help you choose the best apple variety for your climate or explain how to maintain it indoors.

Many people make the mistake of trying to change their diet when diagnosed with an illness.

While most diseases are reversible, it’s harder when you’re sick.

It’s best to start a healthy journey before being ill or when symptoms like fatigue, headache, constipation, low libido, pain, weight gain begin creeping in.

*Start Before You're Sick*

Before there was the ‘Pharmacy’ to buy drugs people went to the ‘Farm’acy to get their natural medicine.

Where do you get most of your medicine?

From Pharma or the Farmer?

Notice how the pronunciation is the same.

Be wise.

Goldenberries are also unique in their protein content for a fruit, containing more protein than common fruits like apples or strawberries.

Additionally, this small fruit is packed with minerals like iron, potassium, and phosphorus. The potassium content in goldenberries, for instance, matches that found in bananas.
