WHY YOU NEED TO BE WELL INFORMED ON NUTRITION

-
There are two types of diseases that exist in the world. One group is ancient and includes all those that we get from bacteria, viruses, insect bites or we get directly from contact with the body fluids of infected animals. These diseases, such as malaria, cholera, typhoid, leprosy, sexually transmitted diastase (STDs), etc., that are more common in  underdeveloped countries than in the developed ones of the global North are called communicable, because we can pass them on among ourselves or from animals to us.
The other set of diseases result from the lifestyle of the affected person and, therefore, stays only with him or her. This description, "lifestyle", already suggests that they are caused by a person's style of living, such as his diet, the manner he normally handles his mental challenges and the level of his physical activity. These diseases include constipation, arteriosclerosis (i.e., damage to blood vessels), hypertension, diabetes, piles (haemorrhoids), etc.
There is currently a silent worldwide epidemic of lifestyle diseases. While countries of the global North (i.e., Europe, North America, etc.) have largely switched from communicable diseases to those that are lifestyle in nature, countries of the global South (i.e., the underdeveloped world) are rather speedily adding these lifestyle diseases to their already large stock of communicable diseases. More than 70% of all health problems in the world, whether communicable or not, can be prevented or speedily cured by improving the body's own resistance. Obviously, whatever you regularly eat and drink has the greatest influence in weakening or strengthening your body's resistance and its ability to fight infection, keep off lifestyle diseases or effectively handle stress. 
Despite these huge problems facing the world, most medical schools worldwide have either token or no programmes on nutrition. Yet, nutrition is a highly demanding and specialized field of study, with its own research activities and academic programmes leading up to doctoral degrees at various universities. Therefore, unless your doctor is personally interested and regularly updates his knowledge on nutrition, he will be repeating outdated or even pathogenic advice that he has picked along the way. He cannot meaningfully blend his allopathic prescriptions with those that are nutritionally relevant. Probably already a victim himself of some lifestyle disease, your physician would be no better than a partially-sighted person leading the blind!

CREATING AN AUTOMATED EMAIL WELCOME SEQUENCE IN CONVERTKIT

-
“The energy of your business is directly tied to the strength of your email list.” Amy Porterfield has been giving us this advice for years—but how do you make sure your email list is strong? By “strong,” we mean that your subscribers are engaged in your emails, reading them and taking action on your suggestions and links. A foundational method for improving the strength of your email list is to start your subscribers off on the right foot with a useful email welcome sequence. (And if you haven't started an email list yet, then what are you waiting for?!) What Is an Email Welcome Sequence? A welcome sequence introduces the subscriber to you, your brand, and what you have to offer them. It shows them why it’s worth their time to stay subscribed to you. It’s your opportunity to show off the best of your past content and teach them how you would like them to engage with you and your content. In this post, I’ll walk you through both the how and the what of setting up your welcome

VIRTUAL MULTIPLE STREAMS OF INCOME

-
Lately, it seems everyone and their neighbor is a small business owner. That’s not an exaggeration. According to a study referenced in The New York Times, people in the US started 4.4 million new businesses during the pandemic. Even my TikTok ForYouPage (FYP) is flooded with self-proclaimed small business-owners eagerly listing all the reasons why you should ditch the desk and join their be-your-own-boss lifestyle. And look, as someone who is technically an entrepreneur himself, I totally get it. Between having the freedom to set your own schedule, work from wherever you want, wear whatever you want, owning your own business seems like a dream come true. At the same time, for as many #myownboss #entrepreneurs there are willing to share general advice on “how to make it,” it seems there’s a lot of mystery over exactly how internet entrepreneurs actually make their living. It also doesn’t help that when you sometimes click on their TikTok videos that claim they’ll tell you exactly

OVERCOMING CANCER BY STRENGTHENING YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM

-
Over the past 10 years, a new class of drugs has revolutionized cancer care. These medications, known as checkpoint inhibitors, unleash an individual’s own immune system on malignant cells, offering new hope to people with cancer. Before these treatments hit the mainstream, the immune/cancer connection may not have been apparent to the average person. This relationship is central to understanding cancer development. Immunosurveillance Our immune systems play a critical role in identifying and destroying aberrant cells before they become cancerous. This protective phenomenon, known as immunosurveillance, is led by dendritic cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and cytotoxic T-cells. Cancer develops in part because these cells fail to control abnormal growth. Individuals with immune deficiencies are known to be at higher risk of cancer, especially those caused by viruses. This predisposition highlights the critical anticancer role of our immune system. Immune deficiency cannot explain
