Sleep debt from the weekend always shows up during the new week, and without proper recovery measures, productivity is affected.

A good question to help you grow mindful of your sleep hygiene is "Is sleep deprivation normalized in my workplace culture?"

Early detection saves lives. Prevention too. 💯

While breast cancer is not totally preventable, healthier lifestyle choices go a long way in reducing the risks of it.

It is also often manageable and survivable when detected early.

Set in 19th Century China, this book vividly contrasts how unfairly the girl child was treated and perceived by family and outsiders, against the honor and preferential treatment that the boy child merited, by virtue of being born male.

Happy reading 🥂

Happy book Thursday!

"When A Girl is Born" by Pamela Grant is a picture-perfect narrative of how love and support defy unjust norms, birthing rebellion and revolution.

Reading shouldn't feel like a chore, so when it feels like one, somewhere in the discomfort is a nudge to adjust and minimize friction.

A shower before reading, a convenient posture, etc., make it worthwhile.

To reading your way to a wholesome living! 🥂

Did you know that Botswana has reduced mother-to-child HIV rates to 1.2%?

Thanks to a policy ensuring universal free antiretroviral treatment (ART) for all HIV positive pregnant women, fewer than 100 babies are born with HIV each year, in Botswana.

Although the level of constraint may vary between individuals and across social brackets, it is not uncommon to delay getting preventive healthcare due to financial reasons.

What is the first health-related thing you'd do if you had more money?

House plants are more than meets the eye.

With houseplants such as the Areca Palm and the Boston Fern present in your home, consider the job of filtering indoor air pollutants and reducing irritation from dry air -done!

They even improve sleep by keeping your airways moderately moist!

Myth: Washing your hands with just water is enough.

Fact: Water alone can’t remove the invisible germs that cause illness.

👇

Soap breaks down oils and microbes that water can’t lift.

Stay healthy. Wash your hands with soap and water.

In many African countries, less than 50% of the population have access to essential health services.

Why is it so?

Africa also has the lowest ratio of mental health workers globally: around 1 psychiatrist per 500,000 people.

Again, why?
