Dietitian and Health Care

Another good morning to all of our readers and I'll still remind us that the Black Friday Christmas discount is still on with Jumia. Please take advantage of this offer (80% off), it comes once a year.

Today we shall be talking about food? what is food? is alcohol food or intravenous fluid (drip)? Before I try to answer these complex questions, let me establish the fact that if you eat the right food, you have a high chances of not getting sick. In TCM, we prefer health maintenance through preventive measure, compare to corrective measures. That is why most people ridicule TCM because they prefer corrective measure. Many countries life expectancy is dropping. Nigeria is 47 years. Check your age and compare yourself to people in that country. The earlier we embrace preventive health, the better for us and nutrition is a bale out. FYI we collaborate with orthodox medicine and we are doing our best to limit most of the side effect from using chemotherapy.
Back to the question, alcohol is food, but intravenous fluid is not. Sorry if I confused you. Intravenous food gives nutrition to the patient but alcohol doesn't give any nutrition but let us start by asking ourselves, what is food?
Food is anything we take through the mouth that gives the body nutrient or heat. Intravenous fluid let's say dextrose saline (10% dextrose) could give up to 340 kcal of energy but alcohol give 0 cal of energy yet it's food because it's not administered in the hospital. It's taken through the mouth and it produce heat.

TCM Nigeria is trying to collaborate with a company that does groceries of healthy and yet delicious food. We love app project so we had made an app for people to place orders and we are going to be blogging on very healthy food. We had discussed moringa and bitter leaf on this blog but we shall be giving you the recipe to preparing the food on the food blog. Just click on the link below to see what to look out for.

Ear Barotrauma (Airplane ears).

The ear is one of the most important sense organs of the human body and could be very inconvenient if one gets really troubled with it. The ear is divided into three parts: the outer part, middle and the inner part. The pressure between the out and the inner ears must be balance to cause inconveniences. Ear Barotrauma is a disturbance experience especially when one boards the airplane. It might not be that common but to a certain percentage, it disturbs the ear drum. It occur when there is a change in pressure when one is in the air or water. It is commonly experience during scuba diving in water or in the  airplane when one  ascend or descend the air.   This is different from ear tinnitus which is a symptom of some underlying disease, this could be controlled by little exercise before boarding the airplane or scuba diving. One can decide to chew gum or chew as one enters the environment that changes the pressure between the outer and the inner part of the ears. It usuall...

TCM Nigeria

TCM Nigeria according to this blog simply means traditional Chinese medicine, practiced in Nigeria. Unlike other websites which focus on cables and cable connectors like RJ45, RJ11 cable connectors. These are connectors that help computers and telephones communicate. The RJ45 connector can be crimped in two ways, we have the straight through crimping which allow computer network devices to communicate along a network and a crossover cable crimp which only allows two computers to communicate with one another. Networking is a big feed of ICT and tcmnigeria.net have tons of details on it. But this website focuses on traditional or alternative Nigerian practice to getting well and preventing illness. We explore  Phytotherapy  and the way it is administered in Nigeria for healthier living. One of the most common tree found in Nigeria is the  moringa oleifera  tree which is a very good remedy for crashing blood sugar and it is very nutritious. It helps prevent...

The Mental Health Consequences of the Baltasar Engonga Scandal: A Deeper Look at the 400 Victims and Their Fallout

Introduction The scandal involving Baltasar Engonga, the Director General of the National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF) in Equatorial Guinea, has set off a chain reaction of discussions, not just about the abuse of power, but also about the profound mental health consequences for those involved. Engonga allegedly recorded over 400 sextapes of married women, many of whom are prominent figures in the country, and the tapes were reportedly exposed online. Given the scale of the scandal, the psychological toll on the victims—many of whom are high-profile individuals—will likely be immense, affecting their personal, familial, and professional lives in ways that extend far beyond the immediate crisis. The Scope of the Scandal: 400 Victims and the Public Exposure Engonga’s actions, which allegedly involved non-consensual recordings, have created a situation where the victims—primarily women married to prominent men in Equatorial Guinea—face the public exposure of their most intimate m...
