HealthGENOTYPE: A Determinate Factor In Marriage by durubrian(op):
Over the years, marriages have been conducted without ascertaining the genotype of the intending couples. Hence, many families have given birth to children and they die in their face. Research have shown that most of these children whose genotype is 'SS' dose not live up to two decades. And when they die at such a tender age, the family members tag them an ogbanje(reincarnate) in igbo or abiku(predestined to die) in yoruba, not knowing that it was their ignorance that brought about the death of these children. Also, a research conducted examined defined symptoms of 100 children classified as ogbanje. Haemoglobin analysis showed that 70 of the 100 children had sickle cell disease(SCD) and thereby died in their adolescent age.


What is genotype?

Genotype is the genetic make up of an individual. It(genotype) shows the inherited traits of an individual from his parents. That is why people are able to run paternity test.

Why is genotype a determinant factor in marriage?

There are three possible genotype an individual can possess which are;
- AA normal child
- AS normal but carrier of sickle cell
-SS sickle cell anamiea popularly called sickler.
When a newly wedded couples having both a genotype of AS, when you cross breed it you will find out that there is every 25% chance of giving birth to a child with a genotype of SS.


Effects of giving birth to a child whose genotype is SS.

Sickle cell disease is an inherited disorder in which red blood cells(RBCs) are abnormally shaped. This abnormality can result in painful episodes, serious infections chronic anamiea and damage to body organs. Someone who inherits a sickle cell gene from each parent has haemoglobin SS disease also called sickle cell anamiea. The individual immune system is weak and hence can suffer from tissue and bone damage, strokes and organ failure. The body system is subject to high risk of infections.

These individuals suffers severe sickness from child birth and hence causes pains, worries and anxieties to Their parents. Only minority survive at this tender age, majority die after their parents must have spent so much seeking for a cure.

In conclusion, genotyping(a test carried out to know the genotype make up of an individual) is very essential before marriage. I hereby, advice every couple who wants to wed to go for genotyping before heading on with the marriage plans, in other to avoid the consequences it might bring upon you and your family.

Nevertheless, there are other important test intending couples are expected to run such as ABO blood group, HIV but of these, genotype is very essential.

HOW TO QUIT SMOKING




Not every addiction is a bad thing, but addiction to smoking cigarettes is a bad thing.

Below are tips to quit smoking or to cut down the smoking habit :

*Make up your mind to quit, it's only you that can easily make yourself quit cigarettes.

* Know how much you’re smoking – keep a written record. If you smoke automatically, without paying much attention to the habit, it’s easy to smoke more.
Ask yourself before each cigarette: do I really need it? Can I postpone smoking it or even just leave it? Practise regaining psychological control. You can use various other ploys to make yourself more aware of each cigarette: smoke in a specific, unusual place (try facing into a corner, for example), or use your opposite hand to hold the cigarette.


* Analyse your other habits, e.g. eating, drinking alcohol, visiting the bunk (ghetto smoking chamber), spending time in smokey environments or with other smokers. Work on changing any behaviours that are conducive to smoking.

*Decide in advance how many cigarettes you'll smoke the following day, and remove the rest from the pack, as it would force to not to smoke more than you budgeted.

*Put off lighting your first cigarette of the day a little later each day, don't start your day with cigarettes.

*Don’t smoke cigarettes down to the butt. Smoke them only half or three-quarters.

*Change to a brand you don’t like. Or, try changing to a milder brand a few weeks before your quit date to help your body get accustomed to less nicotine - but make sure you don’t smoke more mild cigarettes, inhale them more, or cover the holes in the filters, so if you take the Marlboro brand change to Dorchester or any other brand you really don't like.

*Don't empty your ashtrays: this reminds you of how many cigarettes you've smoked each day, and is aesthetically unappealing. Some people keep their cigarette butts in a glass jar as graphic evidence of their ‘dirty habit’.

*Put your cigarettes in places that are awkward to reach (like on a high shelf), or keep them in hard-to-open containers. This also helps to make you more conscious of each cigarette smoked. ( I once told my friend who is an Arsenal fan to keep his cigarettes in the Champions league Trophy. LoL. #JustKidding)

*Finish one pack before you buy another, and don’t buy cigarettes in bulk.

*Don’t carry cigarettes on you when you go out, so you won't take them when you go out.

*Don’t ask for or accept cigarettes from other smokers.

*Ask successful ex-smokers what methods they use to stay on the straight and narrow, and consider incorporating these into your own life.

*Start thinking about a quit date.

Stay healthy..
