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).

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...

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 ...
