What are the warning signs of stress?

Chronic stress can wear down the body's natural defenses, leading to a variety of physical symptoms, including the following:

*Dizziness or a general feeling of "being out of it."
*General aches and pains.
*Grinding teeth, clenched jaw.
*Headaches.
*Indigestion or acid reflux symptoms.
*Increase in or loss of appetite.
*Muscle tension in neck, face or shoulders.
*Problems sleeping.
*Racing heart.
*Cold and sweaty palms.
*Tiredness, exhaustion.
*Trembling/shaking.
*Weight gain or loss.
*Upset stomach, diarrhea.
*Sexual difficulties.

For most men, these nightly bathroom runs may be the first sign of an enlarged prostate Other symptoms may include trouble starting a stream of urine, leaking, or dribbling. And, like gray hair, an enlarged prostate is a natural by-product of getting older, doctors say. Trouble is, the nightly bathroom runs become more frequent — eventually edging their way into the daytime routine.

It’s a problem that has several names — enlarged prostrate, benign prostate hyperplasia, or simply BPH.

*Enlarged Prostate Symptoms and Causes*

Ask a doctor and he will tell you it just happens in men over 45. No reason just men ageing. Personally I don’t believe that. I believe it’s something that has to do with our diet and lifestyle
If you are eating lots of processed junk food, drinking alcohol heavily and smoking for example your health will suffer big time.

In men, urine flows from the bladder through the urethra. BPH is a benign (noncancerous) enlargement of the prostate that blocks the flow of urine through the urethra.
The prostate cells gradually multiply, creating an enlargement that puts pressure on the urethra — the “chute” through which urine and semen exit the body.

*Symptoms of enlarged prostrate can include:*
* A weak or slow urinary stream
* A feeling of incomplete bladder emptying
* Difficulty starting urination
* Frequent urination
* Urgency to urinate
* Getting up frequently at night to urinate
* A urinary stream that starts and stops
* Straining to urinate
* Continued dribbling of urine
* Returning to urinate again minutes after finishing

In time past, the only option for people with Enlarged Prostate was surgery called *Trans Urethral Prostate Resection (TURP)*, this procedure involves “shaving” or removing small pieces of the enlarged prostate that block the flow of urine.
TURP usually relieves the uncomfortable symptoms of enlarged prostate but with some few problems.

*First;* The prostate may enlarge again, requiring another operation.
This is true for one in four men who may have to undergo a second TURP procedure in three years.

*Secondly;* Surgery does not prolong life. Study suggests that it actually reduces a person’s lifespan by a year.
In some cases, TURP can cause impotence or complete inability to control urination. The most common side effect, however, is retrograde ejaculation, that is, the ejaculated semen enters the bladder instead of shooting out of the penis. This may impair a man’s fertility.

*Deciding on Treatment for an Enlarged Prostrate.*

Are you looking for ways to naturally get rid of an enlarged prostate? Do you have a long running battle with this dreaded condition? Look no further, as you have come to the right place!
The simple solution I am about to reveal to you here is effective, safe and without any side effects. This solution would not even dig a big hole in your pocket as it is not expensive yet very effective.

*Prostrate enlargement patients respond so well to these natural remedies.*

Do you know your BP readings?

Blood pressure is the measurement of the pressure or force of blood pushing against blood vessel walls. Treating high blood pressure (hypertension) is important, due to the risk of stroke, heart failure, kidney failure, and other conditions if hypertension goes untreated. Diet, medications, and exercise might be suggested.

What is high blood pressure?

Blood pressure is the measurement of the pressure or force of blood pushing against blood vessel walls. In hypertension (high blood pressure), the pressure against the blood vessel walls is consistently too high. High blood pressure is often called the “silent killer” because you may not be aware that anything is wrong, but the damage is occurring within your body.

The only way to know if you have high blood pressure is to have your blood pressure taken. It is best to know your numbers and make the changes that can help prevent or limit damage.

Who is more likely to have high blood pressure?

People with family members who have high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, or diabetes.
-African-Americans.
-Women who are pregnant.
-Women who take birth control pills.
-People over 35.
-People who are overweight.
-People who are not active.
-People who drink a lot of alcohol.
-People who eat too many fatty foods or foods with too much salt.
-People who smoke.

Understanding BP readings

Your blood pressure reading has 2 numbers. The first is the systolic, which measures the pressure on the blood vessel walls when your heart beats. The second number is the diastolic, which measures the pressure on your blood vessels between beats when the heart is at rest.

What is a normal blood pressure reading?

Blood Pressure Category: Normal
Systolic mm Hg (upper number): less than 120
and Diastolic mm Hg (lower number): less than 80

Blood Pressure Category: Prehypertension
Systolic mm Hg (upper number): 120 – 139
or Diastolic mm Hg (lower number): 80 – 89

Blood Pressure Category: High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Stage 1
Systolic mm Hg (upper number): 140 – 159
or Diastolic mm Hg (lower number): 90 – 99

Blood Pressure Category: High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Stage 2
Systolic mm Hg (upper number): 160 or higher
or Diastolic mm Hg (lower number): 100 or higher

Blood Pressure Category: Hypertensive Crisis (Emergency care needed)
Systolic mm Hg (upper number): Higher than 180
or Diastolic mm Hg (lower number): Higher than 110


What should I do if I have high blood pressure?

If you have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, you should discuss your target blood pressure with your healthcare provider.
Check your own blood pressure at home as recommended.

-Eat healthy foods that are low in salt and fat.
-Achieve and maintain your ideal body weight.
-Limit alcohol to no more than two drinks each day. One drink is defined as 1 oz. of alcohol, 5 oz. of wine, or 12 oz. of beer.
-Be more physically active.
-Quit smoking.
-Work on controlling anger and managing stress.
-Take high blood pressure medicine if your healthcare provider prescribes it, and follow the healthcare provider's directions carefully.
-Have regular blood pressure checks by your healthcare provider.

What should I know about blood pressure medicine?

There are many different medicines to treat high blood pressure, and you might need to take medicine from now on. If your healthcare provider tells you to take high blood pressure medicine, be sure to follow the exact directions.

Also, ask what side effects can happen with your medicine, and talk to your healthcare provider about any problems or side effects you might have with your medicine. Lastly, do not stop taking the medicine on your own and always seek professional advice.

What can happen if high blood pressure is not treated?

-Stroke.
-Enlarged heart.
-Heart failure.
-Peripheral vascular disease.
-Heart attack.
-Kidney disease/failure.

What should I include in my diet to control high blood pressure?

*Eat foods that are lower in fat, salt, and calories, such as skim or 1% milk, fresh vegetables and fruits, and whole grain, rice, and pasta. (Ask your doctor or healthcare provider for a more detailed list of salt-free foods to eat.)
*Use flavorings, spices, and herbs to make foods tasty without using salt.
*Avoid or cut down on butter and margarine, regular salad dressings, fatty meats, whole milk dairy products, fried foods, processed foods or fast foods, and salted snacks.
*Ask your healthcare provider if you should increase potassium in your diet or if you need to take a potassium supplement.
*Discuss the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet with your healthcare provider.

How can I be more active?

*Check first with your healthcare provider before increasing your physical activity. Ask your provider what type and amount of exercise is right for you.
*Choose aerobic activities such as walking, biking, or swimming.
*Start slowly and increase activity gradually. Aim for a regular routine of activity 5 times a week for 30 to 45 minutes each session.
*Activity can be done in 10-minute sessions to add up to the 30-45 minutes total.

Malaria

Key facts

Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by parasites that are transmitted to people through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. It is preventable and curable.

In 2017, there were an estimated 219 million cases of malaria in 87 countries.
The estimated number of malaria deaths stood at 435 000 in 2017.
The WHO African Region carries a disproportionately high share of the global malaria burden. In 2017, the region was home to 92% of malaria cases and 93% of malaria deaths.
Total funding for malaria control and elimination reached an estimated US$ 3.1 billion in 2017. Contributions from governments of endemic countries amounted to US$ 900 million, representing 28% of total funding.
Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites. The parasites are spread to people through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes, called "malaria vectors." There are 5 parasite species that cause malaria in humans, and 2 of these species – P. falciparum and P. vivax – pose the greatest threat.

In 2017, P. falciparum accounted for 99.7% of estimated malaria cases in the WHO African Region, as well as in the majority of cases in the WHO regions of South-East Asia (62.8%), the Eastern Mediterranean (69%) and the Western Pacific (71.9%).
P. vivax is the predominant parasite in the WHO Region of the Americas, representing 74.1% of malaria cases.
Symptoms
Malaria is an acute febrile illness. In a non-immune individual, symptoms usually appear 10–15 days after the infective mosquito bite. The first symptoms – fever, headache, and chills – may be mild and difficult to recognize as malaria. If not treated within 24 hours, P. falciparum malaria can progress to severe illness, often leading to death.

Children with severe malaria frequently develop one or more of the following symptoms: severe anaemia, respiratory distress in relation to metabolic acidosis, or cerebral malaria. In adults, multi-organ failure is also frequent. In malaria endemic areas, people may develop partial immunity, allowing asymptomatic infections to occur.

Who is at risk?

In 2017, nearly half of the world's population was at risk of malaria. Most malaria cases and deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa. However, the WHO regions of South-East Asia, Eastern Mediterranean, Western Pacific, and the Americas are also at risk. In 2017, 87 countries and areas had ongoing malaria transmission.
Some population groups are at considerably higher risk of contracting malaria, and developing severe disease, than others. These include infants, children under 5 years of age, pregnant women and patients with HIV/AIDS, as well as non-immune migrants, mobile populations and travellers. National malaria control programmes need to take special measures to protect these population groups from malaria infection, taking into consideration their specific circumstances.

Disease burden

According to the latest World malaria report, released in November 2018, there were 219 million cases of malaria in 2017, up from 217 million cases in 2016. The estimated number of malaria deaths stood at 435 000 in 2017, a similar number to the previous year.

The WHO African Region continues to carry a disproportionately high share of the global malaria burden. In 2017, the region was home to 92% of malaria cases and 93% of malaria deaths.

In 2017, 5 countries accounted for nearly half of all malaria cases worldwide: Nigeria (25%), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (11%), Mozambique (5%), India (4%) and Uganda (4%).

Children under 5 years of age are the most vulnerable group affected by malaria; in 2017, they accounted for 61% (266 000) of all malaria deaths worldwide.


Transmission

In most cases, malaria is transmitted through the bites of female Anopheles mosquitoes. There are more than 400 different species of Anopheles mosquito; around 30 are malaria vectors of major importance. All of the important vector species bite between dusk and dawn. The intensity of transmission depends on factors related to the parasite, the vector, the human host, and the environment.

Anopheles mosquitoes lay their eggs in water, which hatch into larvae, eventually emerging as adult mosquitoes. The female mosquitoes seek a blood meal to nurture their eggs. Each species of Anopheles mosquito has its own preferred aquatic habitat; for example, some prefer small, shallow collections of fresh water, such as puddles and hoof prints, which are abundant during the rainy season in tropical countries.

Transmission is more intense in places where the mosquito lifespan is longer (so that the parasite has time to complete its development inside the mosquito) and where it prefers to bite humans rather than other animals. The long lifespan and strong human-biting habit of the African vector species is the main reason why approximately 90% of the world's malaria cases are in Africa.

Transmission also depends on climatic conditions that may affect the number and survival of mosquitoes, such as rainfall patterns, temperature and humidity. In many places, transmission is seasonal, with the peak during and just after the rainy season. Malaria epidemics can occur when climate and other conditions suddenly favour transmission in areas where people have little or no immunity to malaria. They can also occur when people with low immunity move into areas with intense malaria transmission, for instance to find work, or as refugees.

Human immunity is another important factor, especially among adults in areas of moderate or intense transmission conditions. Partial immunity is developed over years of exposure, and while it never provides complete protection, it does reduce the risk that malaria infection will cause severe disease. For this reason, most malaria deaths in Africa occur in young children, whereas in areas with less transmission and low immunity, all age groups are at risk.

Prevention

Vector control is the main way to prevent and reduce malaria transmission. If coverage of vector control interventions within a specific area is high enough, then a measure of protection will be conferred across the community.

WHO recommends protection for all people at risk of malaria with effective malaria vector control. Two forms of vector control – insecticide-treated mosquito nets and indoor residual spraying – are effective in a wide range of circumstances.

-Insecticide-treated mosquito nets

Sleeping under an insecticide-treated net (ITN) can reduce contact between mosquitoes and humans by providing both a physical barrier and an insecticidal effect. Population-wide protection can result from the killing of mosquitoes on a large scale where there is high access and usage of such nets within a community.

In 2017, about half of all people at risk of malaria in Africa were protected by an insecticide-treated net, compared to 29% in 2010. However, ITN coverage increased only marginally in the period 2015 to 2017.

-Indoor spraying with residual insecticides

Indoor residual spraying (IRS) with insecticides is another powerful way to rapidly reduce malaria transmission. It involves spraying the inside of housing structures with an insecticide, typically once or twice per year. To confer significant community protection, IRS should be implemented at a high level of coverage.

Globally, IRS protection declined from a peak of 5% in 2010 to 3% in 2017, with decreases seen across all WHO regions. The declines in IRS coverage are occurring as countries switch from pyrethroid insecticides to more expensive alternatives to mitigate mosquito resistance to pyrethroids.

-Antimalarial drugs

Antimalarial medicines can also be used to prevent malaria. For travellers, malaria can be prevented through chemoprophylaxis, which suppresses the blood stage of malaria infections, thereby preventing malaria disease. For pregnant women living in moderate-to-high transmission areas, WHO recommends intermittent preventive treatment with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine, at each scheduled antenatal visit after the first trimester. Similarly, for infants living in high-transmission areas of Africa, 3 doses of intermittent preventive treatment with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine are recommended, delivered alongside routine vaccinations.

Since 2012, WHO has recommended seasonal malaria chemoprevention as an additional malaria prevention strategy for areas of the Sahel sub-region of Africa. The strategy involves the administration of monthly courses of amodiaquine plus sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine to all children under 5 years of age during the high transmission season.

-Insecticide resistance

Since 2000, progress in malaria control has resulted primarily from expanded access to vector control interventions, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. However, these gains are threatened by emerging resistance to insecticides among Anopheles mosquitoes. According to the latest World malaria report, 68 countries reported mosquito resistance to at least 1 of the 5 commonly-used insecticide classes in the period 2010-2017; among these countries, 57 reported resistance to 2 or more insecticide classes.

Despite the emergence and spread of mosquito resistance to pyrethroids (the only insecticide class used in ITNs), insecticide-treated nets continue to provide a substantial level of protection in most settings. This was evidenced in a large 5-country study coordinated by WHO between 2011 and 2016.

While the findings of this study are encouraging, WHO continues to highlight the urgent need for new and improved tools in the global response to malaria. To prevent an erosion of the impact of core vector control tools, WHO also underscores the critical need for all countries with ongoing malaria transmission to develop and apply effective insecticide resistance management strategies.

-Diagnosis and treatment

Early diagnosis and treatment of malaria reduces disease and prevents deaths. It also contributes to reducing malaria transmission. The best available treatment, particularly for P. falciparum malaria, is artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT).

WHO recommends that all cases of suspected malaria be confirmed using parasite-based diagnostic testing (either microscopy or rapid diagnostic test) before administering treatment. Results of parasitological confirmation can be available in 30 minutes or less. Treatment, solely on the basis of symptoms should only be considered when a parasitological diagnosis is not possible. More detailed recommendations are available in the "WHO Guidelines for the treatment of malaria", third edition, published in April 2015.

-Antimalarial drug resistance

Resistance to antimalarial medicines is a recurring problem. Resistance of P. falciparum malaria parasites to previous generations of medicines, such as chloroquine and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP), became widespread in the 1950s and 1960s, undermining malaria control efforts and reversing gains in child survival.

Protecting the efficacy of antimalarial medicines is critical to malaria control and elimination. Regular monitoring of drug efficacy is needed to inform treatment policies in malaria-endemic countries, and to ensure early detection of, and response to, drug resistance.

In 2013, WHO launched the Emergency response to artemisinin resistance (ERAR) in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS), a high-level plan of attack to contain the spread of drug-resistant parasites and to provide life-saving tools for all populations at risk of malaria. But even as this work was under way, additional pockets of resistance emerged independently in new geographic areas of the subregion. In parallel, there were reports of increased resistance to ACT partner drugs in some settings. A new approach was needed to keep pace with the changing malaria landscape.

At the World Health Assembly in May 2015, WHO launched the Strategy for malaria elimination in the greater mekong subregion (2015–2030) , which was endorsed by all the countries in the subregion. Urging immediate action, the strategy calls for the elimination of all species of human malaria across the region by 2030, with priority action targeted to areas where multidrug resistant malaria has taken root.

With technical guidance from WHO, all countries in the region have developed national malaria elimination plans. Together with partners, WHO is providing ongoing support for country elimination efforts through the Mekong Malaria Elimination programme, an initiative that evolved from the ERAR.

Latest bulletin of the Mekong Malaria Elimination programme

Surveillance
Surveillance entails tracking of the disease and programmatic responses, and taking action based on the data received. Currently, many countries with a high burden of malaria have weak surveillance systems and are not in a position to assess disease distribution and trends, making it difficult to optimize responses and respond to outbreaks.

Effective surveillance is required at all points on the path to malaria elimination. Stronger malaria surveillance systems are urgently needed to enable a timely and effective malaria response in endemic regions, to prevent outbreaks and resurgences, to track progress, and to hold governments and the global malaria community accountable.

In March 2018, WHO released a reference manual on malaria surveillance, monitoring and evaluation. The manual provides information on global surveillance standards and guides countries in their efforts to strengthen surveillance systems.

Elimination
Malaria elimination is defined as the interruption of local transmission of a specified malaria parasite species in a defined geographical area as a result of deliberate activities. Continued measures are required to prevent re-establishment of transmission.

Malaria eradication is defined as the permanent reduction to zero of the worldwide incidence of malaria infection caused by human malaria parasites as a result of deliberate activities. Interventions are no longer required once eradication has been achieved.

Countries that have achieved at least 3 consecutive years of 0 local cases of malaria are eligible to apply for the WHO certification of malaria elimination. In recent years, 9 countries have been certified by the WHO Director-General as having eliminated malaria: United Arab Emirates (2007), Morocco (2010), Turkmenistan (2010), Armenia (2011), Maldives (2015), Sri Lanka (2016), Kyrgyzstan (2016), Paraguay (2018) and Uzbekistan (2018). The WHO Framework for Malaria Elimination (2017) provides a detailed set of tools and strategies for achieving and maintaining elimination.

WHO certification of malaria elimination

Vaccines against malaria
RTS,S/AS01 (RTS,S) is the first and, to date, the only vaccine to show partial protection against malaria in young children. It acts against P. falciparum, the most deadly malaria parasite globally and the most prevalent in Africa. Among children who received 4 doses in large-scale clinical trials, the vaccine prevented approximately 4 in 10 cases of malaria over a 4-year period.

In view of its public health potential, WHO’s top advisory bodies for malaria and immunization have jointly recommended phased introduction of the vaccine in selected areas of sub-Saharan Africa. The vaccine will be introduced in 3 pilot countries – Ghana, Kenya and Malawi – in 2019.

The pilot programme will address several outstanding questions related to the use of the vaccine in real-life settings. It will be critical for understanding how best to deliver the required four doses of RTS,S; the vaccine’s potential role in reducing childhood deaths; and its safety in the context of routine use.

This WHO-coordinated programme is a collaborative effort with ministries of health in Ghana, Kenya and Malawi and a range of in-country and international partners, including PATH, a non-profit organization, and GSK, the vaccine developer and manufacturer.

Cirrhosis is a disease in which healthy liver tissue is replaced with scar tissue. The scar tissue blocks the flow of blood through the liver and slows the liver’s ability to process nutrients, hormones, drugs, and natural toxins. Symptoms, treatments, and ways to prevent cirrhosis are presented.

What is cirrhosis of the liver?
The liver is the largest solid organ in the body. It performs many important functions, including:

*Making blood proteins that aid in clotting, transporting oxygen, and helping the immune system.
*Storing excess nutrients and returning some of the nutrients to the bloodstream.
*Manufacturing bile, a substance needed to help digest food.
*Helping the body store sugar (glucose) in the form of glycogen.
*Ridding the body of harmful substances in the bloodstream, including drugs and alcohol.
*Breaking down saturated fat and producing cholesterol.

Cirrhosis is a slowly developing disease in which healthy liver tissue is replaced with scar tissue. The scar tissue blocks the flow of blood through the liver and slows the liver’s ability to process nutrients, hormones, drugs and natural toxins (poisons). It also reduces the production of proteins and other substances made by the liver. Cirrhosis eventually keeps the liver from working properly.

What causes cirrhosis?
The most common causes of cirrhosis are chronic (long-term) viral infections of the liver (hepatitis types B and C), fatty liver associated with obesity and diabetes, and alcohol abuse. In addition, anything that damages the liver can cause cirrhosis, including the following inherited diseases:

-Cystic fibrosis;
-Glycogen storage diseases, in which the body is unable to process glycogen (a form of sugar that is converted to glucose and serves as a source of energy for the body);
-Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (an absence of a specific enzyme in the liver);
-Diseases caused by abnormal liver function, such as hemochromatosis (a condition in which excessive iron is absorbed and deposited into the liver and other organs), and Wilson's disease (the abnormal storage of copper in the liver);
-Autoimmune diseases of the liver (chronic conditions in which the body’s own immune system attacks the liver or bile duct cells), including: autoimmune hepatitis; primary biliary cholangitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis; and overlap syndromes;
-Blockage of the bile duct. The bile duct carries bile that is formed in the liver to the intestines, where it helps in the digestion of fats.
-Repeated bouts of heart failure, with fluid backing up into the liver and causing congestion (clogging).

Although less likely, other causes of cirrhosis include reactions to prescription drugs, lengthy exposure to environmental toxins, or infections by parasites.

What are the symptoms of cirrhosis?

The symptoms of cirrhosis depend on the stage of the illness. In the beginning stages, there may not be any symptoms. As the disease gets worse, symptoms may include:

*Loss of appetite
*Lack of energy (fatigue)
*Weight loss or sudden weight gain
*Bruises
*Yellowing of skin or the whites of eyes (jaundice)
*Itchy skin
*Fluid retention (edema) and swelling in the ankles, legs and abdomen
*A brownish or orange color to the urine
*Light-colored stools
*Confusion, disorientation, personality changes
*Blood in the stool
*Fever

An early sign of cirrhosis is retaining (holding onto) fluid and salt. This may start as a swollen ankle or leg, but can move on to significant fluid retention in the abdomen (ascites). By reducing salt in the diet, and using the right combination of diuretics (water pills), fluid retention can be lessened for some time. In more severe cases, a doctor may need to drain fluid from the abdomen.

Fluid in the abdomen can become infected (a condition called peritonitis), which requires quick diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics. Some people with severe fluid retention that does not improve with treatment may need a liver transplant.

It is essential to get yourself checked regularly as some of the symptoms are easily overlooked or misconstrued.

W.H.O says by 2020, 3 in every 4 death will be as a result of stress......... Stress is a silent killer as it is often associated or is a precursor for most chronic disease.....

This is a multi-purpose agricultural surfactant, specifically formulated to work with modern crop treatments and application equipment.

The Key: Making Water Wetter

Most of us know that the best way to save water is to use less. But another important way is to make the most important of water you use. That’s what exactly what Super Gro does.

Super Gro is specially formulated to help gardeners and growers get the greatest value out of every drop of water used. It does this by reducing the water’s surface tension, making “water wetter”, boosting its ability to deliver life-sustaining moisture deeper into the plant root systems.

This not only brings water to where its needed, but reduces water loss to evaporation and run-off. More water reaches the plan roots and stays there longer, supporting better growth, faster time to maturity and harvest. With Super Gro, there is reduced water logging and surface run-off. Water thus penetrates deeper than under normal circumstances without Super Gro. Super Gro allows water to penetrate deeper into the entire plant’s roots system than under normal circumstances thus enabling optimal water utilization by plants.

Helping Crop Treatments to do their Job

In addition to making water wetter, Super Gro is a High Performance adjuvant too. An adjuvant is something that helps something else to do a better or more thorough job. Super Gro acts as a powerful adjuvant for most crop treatments where water is used, including fertilizers, pesticides and fungicides, causing them to penetrate deeper, stick better, stay longer, and work more effectively.

Fungicides: In University of Nairobi performance tests conducted on fungicides, it was established that when Super Gro was used in conjunction with a market-leading fungicide, Early Blight of tomatoes was decreased by more than 40%, that’s a 52% better result than for the fungicide alone. it does this by bringing the fungicide into closer contact with the plant foliage and keeping it there longer. This means a better protection from each application, which can mean less frequent application and crop treatment savings.

Pesticides: Insect infestations destroy plant health, quality of leaf production and fruit production. White-flies and aphids are “sucking insects”, while others like the moths or caterpillars are “chewing insects”. In performance tests conducted at the University of Nairobi, pesticides performance was increased significantly. When Super Gro was used in conjunction with a market leading pesticide, white-flies and aphids were reduced 63% and 94% respectively; up to 26% better than without Super Gro.

More water reaches the plan roots and stays there longer, supporting better growth, faster time to maturity and harvest. With Super Gro, there is reduced water logging and surface run-off. Water thus penetrates deeper than under normal circumstances without Super Gro. Super Gro allows water to penetrate deeper into the entire plant’s roots system than under normal circumstances thus enabling optimal water utilization by plants.

Helping Crop Treatments to do their Job

In addition to making water wetter, Super Gro is a High Performance adjuvant too. An adjuvant is something that helps something else to do a better or more thorough job. Super Gro acts as a powerful adjuvant for most crop treatments where water is used, including fertilizers, pesticides and fungicides, causing them to penetrate deeper, stick better, stay longer, and work more effectively.

Fungicides: In University of Nairobi performance tests conducted on fungicides, it was established that when Super Gro was used in conjunction with a market-leading fungicide, Early Blight of tomatoes was decreased by more than 40%, that’s a 52% better result than for the fungicide alone. it does this by bringing the fungicide into closer contact with the plant foliage and keeping it there longer. This means a better protection from each application, which can mean less frequent application and crop treatment savings.

Pesticides: Insect infestations destroy plant health, quality of leaf production and fruit production. White-flies and aphids are “sucking insects”, while others like the moths or caterpillars are “chewing insects”. In performance tests conducted at the University of Nairobi, pesticides performance was increased significantly. When Super Gro was used in conjunction with a market leading pesticide, white-flies and aphids were reduced 63% and 94% respectively; up to 26% better than without Super Gro.

Stress is a normal reaction the body has when changes occur. It can respond to these changes physically, mentally, or emotionally.
What is stress?
Stress is the body's reaction to any change that requires an adjustment or response. The body reacts to these changes with physical, mental, and emotional responses. Stress is a normal part of life. You can experience stress from your environment, your body, and your thoughts. Even positive life changes such as a promotion, a mortgage, or the birth of a child produce stress.

How does stress affect health?
The human body is designed to experience stress and react to it. Stress can be positive, keeping us alert, motivated, and ready to avoid danger. Stress becomes negative when a person faces continuous challenges without relief or relaxation between stressors. As a result, the person becomes overworked, and stress-related tension builds. The body's autonomic nervous system has a built-in stress response that causes physiological changes to allow the body to combat stressful situations. This stress response, also known as the "fight or flight response", is activated in case of an emergency. However, this response can become chronically activated during prolonged periods of stress. Prolonged activation of the stress response causes wear and tear on the body – both physical and emotional.

Stress that continues without relief can lead to a condition called distress – a negative stress reaction. Distress can disturb the body's internal balance or equilibrium, leading to physical symptoms such as headaches, an upset stomach, elevated blood pressure, chest pain, sexual dysfunction, and problems sleeping. Emotional problems can also result from distress. These problems include depression, panic attacks, or other forms of anxiety and worry. Research suggests that stress also can bring on or worsen certain symptoms or diseases. Stress is linked to 6 of the leading causes of death: heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, cirrhosis of the liver, and suicide.

Stress also becomes harmful when people engage in the compulsive use of substances or behaviors to try to relieve their stress. These substances or behaviors include food, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, gambling, sex, shopping, and the Internet. Rather than relieving the stress and returning the body to a relaxed state, these substances and compulsive behaviors tend to keep the body in a stressed state and cause more problems. The distressed person becomes trapped in a vicious circle.

What are the warning signs of stress?

Chronic stress can wear down the body's natural defenses, leading to a variety of physical symptoms, including the following:

*Dizziness or a general feeling of "being out of it."
*General aches and pains.
*Grinding teeth, clenched jaw.
*Headaches.
*Indigestion or acid reflux symptoms.
*Increase in or loss of appetite.
*Muscle tension in neck, face or shoulders.
*Problems sleeping.
*Racing heart.
*Cold and sweaty palms.
*Tiredness, exhaustion.
*Trembling/shaking.
*Weight gain or loss.
*Upset stomach, diarrhea.
*Sexual difficulties.

Tips for reducing stress:

People can learn to manage stress and lead happier, healthier lives. You may want to begin with the following tips:

*Keep a positive attitude.
*Accept that there are events that you cannot control.
*Be assertive instead of aggressive. Assert your feelings, opinions, or beliefs instead of becoming angry, defensive, or passive.
*Learn and practice relaxation techniques; try meditation, yoga, or tai-chi.
*Exercise regularly. Your body can fight stress better when it is fit.
*Eat healthy, well-balanced meals.
*Learn to manage your time more effectively.
*Set limits appropriately and say no to requests that would create excessive stress in your life.
*Make time for hobbies and interests.
*Get enough rest and sleep. Your body needs time to recover from stressful events.
*Don't rely on alcohol, drugs, or compulsive behaviors to reduce stress.
*Seek out social support. Spend enough time with those you love.
*Seek treatment with a psychologist or other mental health professional trained in stress management or biofeedback techniques to learn more healthy ways of dealing with the stress in your life.
