Give it a rest.
Young is not the form 1s you are fond of harrasing hapa.



Yours truly @young was in form 1 in 1974 that is 44 years ago before most of you were born.

I decide to roll out this health articles as a pay back to Kenyan audience and other interested parties. This is because :-

I am a successfull long term investor in Nairobi bourse since 2004 and God has enabled us build a solid nest egg with solid return in terms of dividend income over the years .

In addition I joined and I am a financial contributor (in my own small way) to SK Charity club to facilitate educating a few indigent and poor Kenyans.

I became active in SK club as a reliable partner in 2017 and started this health articles in 2018.
I am 56 years and have voluntarily retired from paid employment after 30 years service to be my own boss and have my own free time. That is leave the 9 to 5 rat race.....

@young is actual my pet name in my family
as I am one of the "small boys" in a typical African family of those days.

Asante Sana.....

Let me expatriate further to let you know that banana contains NO cholesterol , rather facilitate cholesterol reduction.
See my further posts / link below.


True it has no cholestrol

my concern was the sugar content since sugar can be bad for someone with high Triglycerides which would be converted to fats

but since it is natural sugar then it should be fine



NOTE:- Expatriate should be EXPATIATE
Just a typo error

BE MINDFUL OF Bfoods PH OF YOUR DIET

Acidic foods:- pH 1 - 6.9
Neutral :- pH 7 (Water only)
Alkaline foods:- pH 7.1 - 14


The pH measurement of your blood and tissues whether acidic or alkaline is one of the most important yardstick of your health status .
Different areas of the body have different ideal PH levels but blood pH is the most telling of all . Your blood must be kept in a narrow pH length of mildly alkaline or mildly basic.
The fact is that the entire metabolic process depends on an alkaline environment.
Chronic over acidity corrodes our body tissues and if left unchecked on the long term can alter cellular activities and functions from beating of your heart to the neutral firing of your brain.
In othetwords over acidity interferes with life itself and it is the genesis of LONG TERM DEGENERATIVE DISEASES like cancer, diabetics, cardiovascular problems .
The ultimate goal for good health is to deliberately create alkaline balance within your body. The way to do this is by eating the proper balance of alkaline and acidic foods .
That means at least 70% of your diet must be alkalizing foods . This leaves much smaller portions of acid foods.
The common problem of over acidity of your blood is that the body faces all sorts of imbalance and breakdown on the long term.

SOME ACIDIC FOODS

Most acidic foods are from processed foods and animal sources.

I believe this is an attempt to complicate life. My motto is to take everything in moderation, avoid processed foods and sugar. Everything else is a fad.

The PH perspective in our diet is now absolutely the main issue because many diseases stem from deficiency or food related toxicity.
It is as if medicine is geared towards profitability of allowing illness to occur and then providing drugs to reduce symptoms.
It is to reevaluate and establish correct nutrition, acid-slkaline balance and other life style changes and bring it to our consciousness to reduce the scourge especially in sub Saharan Africa.

Some degenerative diseases that were unheard of are now in our doosteps .
The most worrisome is that these terminal diseases are now wrecking havoc on young people in 30" s , 20" s and even at a younger age.

10 to 20 years ago, such events were strange.
Lifestyle and diet is a major contributor .

I have been opportuned to see and understand the trend of terminal diseases in my native country Nigeria, Ghana and Kenya.
I have visited Lagos Luth, Ghana Korle By hospital and Nairobi KNH.
The trend is the same.
I saw young children / people below 40 who are already kidney and cancer patients undergoing dialysis and chemotherapy respectively .
KNH Nairobi for example have only 7 chemotherapy machines and on my visit in May 2018, there were not less than 1,000 frail looking people including children waiting for their turns.
In LUTH I saw a 16 year old boy queing for kidney dialysis.
In Korle Bu Accra I saw a 21 year old undergraduate suffering from Leukemia (blood cancer) waiting for chemotherapy.

The truth is that of the top three killers ie cancer, heart disease and diabetics, ALL are directly linked to DIET AND LIFESTYLE.

Eating the proper food and getting the best nutrients in balance will help AVOID all these

These degenerative diseases when it becomes full blown is always associated with misery and poor quality of life that always precedes death sometimes by decades .
The simple truth is food contain nutrients essential for normal metabolic function, and when problems arise they result from IMBALANCES in nutrients intake
