LIFE FROM 30

How To Prevent Kidney Failure The kidneys are two organs located in your mid section on either side of your spine. They clean the blood from waste and keep a balance of salt and other minerals in order to control your blood pressure. The most commonest causes of kidney disease are;diabetes, hypertension, heavy alcohol users, smoking, old age, people with recurrent urinary tract infections , and over the counter drugs abusers. When the kidneys are damaged, waste products and fluids builds up in your body causing swellings, vomiting, weakness, poor sleep and shortness of breath . Report to the nearest health facility when you experience any of the above symptoms. Check your blood pressure and blood sugar regularly. If no intervention is done, the kidneys will eventually stop working. Remember that, loss of kidney functioning is very fatal and we should all be alert.

I was going through  Facebook  a month ago and saw the picture below being shared by a friend on her page . It really caught my attention. But after reading the message, I felt very sad and worried. The reason was that, obesity was killing me slowly(98kg) and hardly exercise too. But my attitude towards life have changed. I started exercising every weekends when I don't have work. The funny thing is that, the picture was always on my mind and kept me moving. I now eat fruits every morning and evening of which  I never did. My colleagues look at me and wonder what is causing the sudden change . It's no other thing than "life from 30" picture....... The great news is that my weight is reducing gradually and I feel so healthy, strong and happy. Thank you "life from 30".Keep up the good work. You are changing life and saving innocent souls. Shallom!!!                                    ...

AN IMPORTANT THING YOU SHOULD KNOW.  There are several blood vessels (arteries) in our body that carry blood from the heart throughout the body.These blood vessels are lined by a thin layer of cells called endothelium.The endothelium is smooth in nature,which enables easy flow of blood in the body. But atherosclerosis occurs when the endothelium of the blood vessel is occupied with fatty plaques preventing blood from flowing through the body.As the build up of fat increases,it slows down the flow of blood or may rapture the blood vessel.This result in your risk of developing heart attack or stroke.The sad thing is that it presents no symptoms unless at its terminal stage.The most commonest cause of atherosclerosis is high cholesterol,smoking and high blood pressure.Exercise regularly to burn excess fats,eat nutritious diet,avoid smoking and check your blood pressure regularly. #lifefrom30hypertensionawarenessgroup#

Most a times when people share their experiences here,you may think they are not real till it happens to you. I am Ghanaian but lives outside the country with my family.I saw a story on your page about a young lady who had Pregnancy induced hypertension and it was really touching. I then realised from the comments that,most people may fall victims to what i experienced. Hence the need share my story in order to save lives too. My blood pressure was normal throughout pregnancy and a had a safe delivery too.But  the whole game changed after delivery when I started having a high blood pressure(above 140/90mmHg).In fact,I didn't understand this whole concept but to comply to the treatment prescribed by my doctor.I felt so sad because I got to know a lot of myths  about hypertension. But the story changed when I saw the stories of young people living with hypertension on your page and how they managed it.Then I started exercising, watching my diet, taking my medication religious...

The most painful thing is being alive and not able to move a body part..........Stroke is a serious condition.Has anyone in your family suffered from stroke before?

A stroke occurs when the blood supply to your brain is interrupted or reduced. This deprives your brain of oxygen and nutrients, which can cause your brain cells to die. A stroke may be caused by a blocked artery (ischemic stroke) or the leaking or bursting of a blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke).

Grounding also known as earthing is simple; you walk barefoot to ground with the earth. This has been proven to have many health benefits; You have a healthier feet. Greater circulation.

Jamaican man crashes his new car and cries: "mi can't believe mi just fuck up mi brand new beamer" The paramedic turns to him and says: "u jamaicans are so materialistic, you haven't even noticed u are missing your left arm" The Jamaican looks down and sees that his arm was missing and shouts: "bumboclaath mi Rolex gone too"😂😂😂😂😂

Work out. Eat right. Your body will reward you.

Gone are the days when our beliefs,and thoughts limited the prevention and management of hypertension.There is no doubt that socio cultural beliefs are difficult to be neutralized,hence some people still have a different perception about hypertension and heart diseases.My family was not different from those people,but now the story has changed.......  My name is Kofi Arhin,I am 26 years of age.Hypertension and its related complications have ruin my family for the past years.My grandmother who did not only die in the name of uncontrolled high blood pressure and diabetes,genetically passed it on to her children(5 out of 7).One of my uncles died few years ago on account of this unfriendly disease.During my training at the nursing institution,I realized that hypertension runs in the family and  I needed to save my family from these unexpected deaths.Currently, my mum and her four other siblings are under close monitoring and management on hypertension and diabetes.It is not easy ...

We pay more attention on our outward look,forgetting that we are true reflectors of what we eat or do to our body.We eat all kinds of food when we start receiving our salaries and move around saying life begins at 40.What life are we going to live if the foundation is not well laid.It suddens my heart to hear people say fruits and vegetables are very expensive hence hardly take them.But we are able to buy expensive things to lavish ourselves.Some people complain of not getting enough time to exercise  during the week,yet they get time to go and watch movies and other entertaining programs.Who I'm I to judge?We all fall short when it comes to living a healthy life.But we should know that healthy life is very important.Dont stress yourself trying to please your boss.Rest in between your stressful activities.When you die today,someone will replace you.Anytime you put something into your mouth,think of the benefits to your body.Above all,know your blood pressure readings.Most unexpecte...

If you love a girl just say it......Stop waiting for her to post pictures then you start commenting WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW..........Are you an ambulance?lol

I am Nana Kwasi, a 45year old auditor and I was diagnosed as hypertensive 4 months ago. Initially, I had a problem with taking my medication because I had heard that when you start taking it you will be on it for life and I had also heard of people complaining about different side effects. I was scared. Well, I started my medication then I think after week, I saw the benefits of beetroot on your (Lifefrom30) Facebook page that it helps in the control of high blood pressure so I decided to quit my medication and try the beetroot drink. Later on, by monitoring my pressure I realised the readings were very good so I was just taking the beetroot drinks without the medication and without my doctor's consent and I stopped worrying myself about monitoring because the readings were always good when I checked. I continued staying off the medications for close to 2 months and about a week,  till one day when I felt dizzy  whiles working at the office. On recovery I realised I was at ...

I have never bothered reading any of your posts although I see them most a times. The reason was that, I saw them to be science related till I read on the benefits of beetroot. Even with that, I felt reluctant reading but was caught by the picture of the vegetable. Seriously, that was the first time knowing the name of that vegetable. I became more interested knowing it to be lowering high blood pressure. My mum is a known hypertensive and a banker as well. She has been on anti hypertensive drugs after the birth of my six year old brother. Her antihypertensive drugs have been changed several times because she keeps complaining a lot of symptoms to her doctor. Later on, She was seeing her condition to be more of spiritual than pathological. So I decided to let her try the beetroot whiles she continues with her anti hypertensive drugs and see what happens. I had to read more about this vegetable on the internet before because I knew my mum will be asking a whole lots of questions .After...

Her husband changed after her death.....    She was full of eagerness and joy when her pregnancy was almost due. That was her first pregnancy after two years of marriage. She started experiencing headache for days but took it for granted. On that unfortunate day,she fainted and was rushed to a nearby clinic. All efforts by paramedics to save her and the baby's life proved futile. She  had uncontrolled high blood pressure......When did you check your blood pressure?Men, make sure you know your wife's blood pressure  readings.

Any abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating. Often it starts as brief periods of abnormal beating which become longer and possibly constant over time. Most episodes have no symptoms. Occasionally there may be heart palpitations, fainting, shortness of breath or chest pain. It is called Atrial fibrillation. It  increases the risk of heart failure, dementia and stroke. Hypertension and obesity are common risk factors for atrial fibrillation. Caffeine consumption does not appear to be associated with its development but excessive alcohol consumption (binge drinking) is linked to atrial fibrillation. Go to the nearest health facility if you have the above signs and symptoms. #lifefrom30hypertensionawarenessgroup#

A guy was in love with a girl but never had the guts to tell her. One night around 10, he gathered some courage & sent her a text with these honest words... "Doreen, I love you, Plz reply & tell me how you feel." A few seconds later he received a message alert on his phone. He was so scared and too tensed to open it that night so he decided not to check the message until the next morning when he's less tense and in better senses. So he went to sleep. When he woke up the next day he prayed seriously about the message for good news, went about doing his morning chores, brushed his teeth, ate his breakfast took a bath, dressed himself up then climbed into bed and picked his phone to read the message on his phone. This was the response he read: "Dear customer you have insufficient balance to send this message. Please recharge your account and try again".😄😃😄

I saw a memo in my office about a blood pressure screening  and education exercise  by Life from 30 but I was never bothered  about it. Just because I'm too young(39yrs) to experience  hypertension. The screening commenced and I saw a lot of people participating. I laughed and said to myself,"people are really sick....even my juniors! ".I didn't take part during the whole process till the last day when a member of the Life from 30 team called me. In fact, I felt reluctant but I heard a voice telling me to go in order to prove to her I'm healthy. As courageous as I was, I had my blood  pressure  checked and I didn't believe the readings after four checks. The least reading was 160/121mmHg.The team educated me and ensured that I was seen by a doctor promptly. After several investigations by the doctor, I was diagnosed of hypertension. I'm  on antihypertensive drugs and on lifestyle modifications. My blood pressure is under control now. I believe so much ...
