3 important things:
1. For better nutrient retention, steam your vegetables. Boiling or frying can cause a loss of up to 50% of their nutrients.
2. Stretching before going to bed at night is dope. It relaxes your muscles and prevents you from waking up with body pains.
3. Stop using expired condoms. They increase the risk of condom break, causing unwanted pregnancy and STIs. Check the expiry date before you mount.

Here are 7 ways you damage your health by using mobile phones excessively
1. Headaches
2. Inattention
3. Sleep disturbance
4. Temper issues
5. Anxiety
6. Depression
7. Possible brain tumor
How do these happen?
Research is currently ongoing to determine a possible connection between prolonged exposure to RF radiation & a certain type of brain tumor called glioma!
These aside, when you constantly look at your phone screen (e.g. playing games) you tend to feel anxious, depressed or have tantrums when you're not with your phone.
When you have it, it's all you think about. You just can't pay attention to the real world around you anymore.
As you get addicted & glued to your phone screen long into the night, your sleep hours are significantly reduced, causing sleep problems like insomnia, headaches & anxiety.
All these in a long run, could take their tool on your physical & mental well-being.
In short, the more people get obsessed with their smartphones, the more their level of exposure to radiofrequency radiation, heat & glare. And the more the physical & mental health consequences.
This is particularly common among young people nowadays.
In view of these, we need to;
- make conscious efforts to cut down our screen time.
- keep our phones at a distance especially while asleep. &
- never let phones steal away our sleep time or the social time we need to spend with people physically.
No doubt, mobile phones play a great role in our day-to-day existence, but their excessive use can bring severe problems.
A mobile phone should be your friend, not your master.
Now you know.
