Well I'm just here to advise men to take care of themselves.

To the guy who committed to a single mother and saw shege banza, I'm glad he has learnt the hard way. You don't commit to a single mother, they're tools for fun.

Lastly, make this money no matter what it takes, stay safe and healthy and always put yourself first. You'll be fine!

What about diseases caused by hunger (malnutrition)?
Hunger and inadequate nutrition lead to several diseases such as kwashiorkor, marasmus, anemia, weakened immunity, stunted growth, and increased susceptibility to infections. Hunger itself is a major underlying cause of many of the conditions listed here.

Our food industries told us carbohydrate food should be a the top of food pyramid....so we all eat rice, and swallow with a lot of process starch and process sugar but we eat a pieces of protein which is not even up to 10% of carbohydrate/sugar/process stuff we consume.

the real truth is that carbohydrate/sugar or process sugar should be less, but protein, fruit, vegetables should be the top of the food consume 70%.


carbohydrate/sugar/process stuff caused and damage the body on the long run

Unfortunately 70% of foods we eat in this environment are carbohydrates/sugars which leads to diabetes/piles/obesity.

Healthy Diets should consist 70% vitamins/proteins and 30% carbohydrates/sugars.

That's why they eat in foreign lands seems so strange to us.
Re: Diseases And Causes: If You Care About Your Health, You Should See This by Rutherford2019: 11:46am On Jan 28
Many of the information in the post is just layman's understanding.
For example, diabetes is not caused by excess sugar instead excess sugar is a symptom of diabetes
