Today is Saturday,

This is a good time to walk under the morning sun (especially between 7AM and 10AM).

Walking under a beautiful Saturday morning sun has several benefits for the body and mind.

• Vitamin D production which helps with bone health, immunity, mood, and calcium absorption
• Boosts mood
• Improves sleep quality by regulating your circadian rhythm
• Encourages physical activity
• Support skin conditions in moderation

Walk under today's morning sun for 10-30 minutes, and make sure you expose your arms, legs, and face without sunscreen!

Let’s go walking! 💙

VIEWER’S DISCRETION!

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS?

When you hear “Yeast Infection,” most people immediately think vaginal discharge. But did you know there’s another type called Oral Thrush, a yeast infection that affects your mouth?

Oral thrush happens when there’s an overgrowth of Candida (a type of yeast) in the mouth, causing discomfort and other complications if untreated.

It can be triggered by:
- Weakened immune system (from illnesses like HIV, cancer, or certain meds like steroids)
- Antibiotic use
- Poor oral hygiene
- Diabetes
- Smoking
- Dry mouth
- Wearing dentures

Symptoms include mouth discomfort, burning sensations, trouble swallowing, and increased risk of infections due to weakened immunity.

If you or someone you know experiences this, here’s what to do:
- Keep up good oral hygiene
- Rinse your mouth after using inhalers
- Cut down on sugar and yeast-rich foods
- Avoid smoking
- Visit your dentist regularly
- Manage dry mouth

Oral thrush is treatable, but frequent experience might signal an underlying health issue like HIV.

Stay informed, stay healthy! 💙

IS IT OKAY TO HAVE S*X SIX WEEKS AFTER CHILDBIRTH?

Now that everyone has had their hot takes, let’s talk about it properly.

Medically speaking, yes, if a woman has physically healed from childbirth, it's generally considered okay to resume s*x after six weeks. But here's the thing: healing isn’t just physical.

At Health Talk With DrMutiat, we go beyond just the physical aspects, we talk mental and emotional health too.

Childbirth is a major experience, especially for women. And while some may feel physically and emotionally ready after six weeks, many others do not.

They might be navigating postpartum mood changes, focusing entirely on their newborn, or simply not mentally or emotionally ready for intimacy again.

This is why s*xual intimacy after childbirth should be mutual. It should never be based on one partner’s readiness alone.

✅ Ask her how she feels.
✅ Be patient and supportive.
✅ Understand that emotional recovery takes time.

The body might say yes — but if the mind says not yet, that matters.

So, before you assume six weeks is a good sign to “go again,“ ask your partner. Make sure you are both on the same page.

Now, over to you, what's your honest take on this?

Smoking is linked to several life-threatening illnesses:

▫️ Lung diseases
▫️ Lung cancer
▫️ Heart disease
▫️ High blood pressure
▫️ Poor bone health

The goal isn’t just to cut down; it’s to quit completely.

This is possible with the right help. Speak to a Primary Care Doctor or an Addiction Counselor for professional support. 💙
