INFLAMMATION
When your body activates your immune system due to bacteria, viruses, injury or pollution.

I'm going to share my experience with the inflammation I had, how I got to know it, the symptoms I had and the solutions to it.

SINUSITIS
Is the inflammatory diseases I had which is the inflammation of the sinuses. When I went to the hospital I was given antihistamines and dexamethasone but was all in vain I never got any relief, then I started my research.
The antihistamines help to prevent the histamines which is a substance that's released to heal the inflammation but it leads to itchiness of the nasal cavity.
The symptoms I had
✓Itchy throat( 3am I would be mvhmvh that funny sound trying to scratch the throat)
✓Itchy ears
✓Difficult in breathing
✓Constant flu [every week I had flu and it would be worse during my periods]
✓I would feel mucus in my nasal cavity

solution
After my exams at campus I went to my sister she complained about the sound I was making and luckily found tamarind(second slide) I started taking it and then I would get mucus in my mouth and then would spit it out, this gave me relief.

Continued taking tamarind (I would s**t like nothing in the morning) started eating less since most times I was full (tamarind suppress hunger), reduced on milk intake and meat.
The flu went, lost my belly fat, had relief from sinusitis, had peaceful sleeps.

To me tamarind is a miracle fruit and I would highly recommend it to everyone, there is research on it by Dr Achan from Makerere university on healing blood pressure and diabetes as it Removes bad cholesterol from the body.

WHEY PROTEIN
Is a protein supplement used alongside resistance exercise to improve muscle protein synthesis and growth of lean muscle mass. Taken after a workout.

It's the liquid after cheese making or after removal of casein (fatty part) after fermentation.

TYPES OF WHEY PROTEIN
✓whey protein concentrate
This has low levels of fat, low levels of lactose and protein levels of 30-90%
✓Whey protein isolate
Whey is further processed to remove all the fat and lactose and protein levels are at 90%
✓Whey protein hydrolysate
Whey is pre-digested by undergoing partial hydrolysis for easy digestion.

Effects of over consumption
¶Stomach pain
¶Cramps
¶Acne
¶Reduced appetite
¶Fatigue
¶Lactose allergens (if you are allergic to milk you will be allergic to whey)

ELECTROLYTE BALANCE
Our focus today is sodium (Na)
SOURCES OF SODIUM (Na)
1. Almost every food we eat esp meats
2. Table salt (NaCl)
3. Food additives (MSG)
4. Sodium carbonate
5. Vitamin C (sodium ascorbate)

BENEFITS
¶ Regulates blood pressure and Vol
¶ Assists in distribution of fluid and nutrients inside and outside of cells.

LOW SODIUM LEVELS
There must be a delicate balance of Na coz low Na level from excessive fluid intake (hyponatremia)
SIGNS (HYPONATREMIA)
∆ Confusion
∆ Nausea
∆ Muscle weakness
∆ Muscle cramp/twitching
∆ Fluid buildup in certain parts of the body
∆ Often thirsty
∆ less p*e (urine)
NB!!
People and athletes should for sodium blood test known as serum sodium test.

OVER CONSUMPTION OF SODIUM
✓1 of 5 people will develop high blood pressure
✓ Interferes with calcium balance thus lowered bone density
SIGNS OF LOW BONE DENSITY
√Stress fractures in your feet with normal activity
√Fragile bones
NB!!
People with signs of low bone density (osteoporosis) should go for bone mineral density test.

DETOX WATER & HYDRATION
Is water infused with fruits, vegetables or herbs as seen in the slides. Fruits like orange, lemon, tamarind, veggies like cucumber, radish herbs like rosemary, hibiscus, etc.

Have practiced this and tamarind is something I can testify to (it will heal constipation, ulcers, arthritis, sinusitis, it's in slide3)

RECIPE
✓Slice your fruits of choice, for tamarind choose 4pods ✓place in water ( temp) and soak over night ✓take that in the morning on an empty stomach.

CELERY
What I know celery is not our native vegetable but it's sold in many markets in kampala i.e owino, nakasero, wandegeya, kalerwe, etc

I personally love it coz of its aroma and I love combining it with parsley, mint and ovacado for a good detox smoothie.
Here are the benefits of celery;
¶ Contains vitamin C
¶ High in fiber
¶ Helps your body get minerals like folate, potassium, calcium, etc
¶ Rare micronutrients like molybdenum
¶ Reduce inflammation in the digestive tract. (This answers why our ulcerative clients get relief after taking our juices)
¶ Low in calorie which makes it a good vegetable for weight loss.
¶ Contains alot of antioxidants, carotenoids and flavonoids which all prevent oxidative stress
