Wellness, I would say it is that aspect of the state of being spiritually, emotionally, financially, physically fit. Actually it is defined as having seven or eight dimensions that cuts across even being well in the mind. And that's very in depth. And so health again is the lack of, you know, when you have, when you don't have an illness, then you are healthy. When you don't have stress of factors, then you say you are in good health. Nice. So the health focuses on the physical aspect? Yes, yes. And the wellness is more around it? Yes. Jared, would you share her opinion on that? Kanunit emphasized half points. He has actually explained health in the eight dimensions. It's more spiritual, it's physiological, psychological, mental. At the same time, it is our entire body and our entire spirit. That's how being healthy means. And many factors contribute to our being well. Our factors like our social, cultural orientation, our diet, our lifestyle, they all influence our well-being. Currently, because it's a talk show, we are not going to have a lecture here. You can see this culture of kwaendakwa base, the youth culture, the achuying mera and so on and so forth. And you find somebody at 30 still has sexual dysfunction, is using drugs to boost their sexual performance. At 30, that's basically unhealthy, but today we're going to be real. We're going to address all issues pertaining health and we're going to be real to the public. They are our audience. We are not offering a lecture, they will drive the conversation. We will attend to the issue and I believe it could be a robust talk and we're going to help our people and that's why we are here. Thank you. And that's very well said, like that, because you know we are here to help and educate our audience. We want people to amend the habits that they may think are healthy but are causing more harm to their bodies than they are causing any wellness to come about. So let me start with focus on health. Let us focus on health because Monica, I'm aware you do some supplements that boost the immune system and our health overall. So can you talk to us about some things that you have noted that boost our health? Maybe even before I talk about supplements, I'll first want to say that being well, it is something that has to be self-driven. For you to be well, you have to be cogn... it is your subconscious, you want to do it, you want to be very well. So you have to start with doing a wellness assessment as frequently as possible. You don't wait until you're sick so that you go to a hospital. Just like the way we maintain our cars, we take the car for service just to make sure that it keeps running and it doesn't just stop one day. So having a wellness assessment done, then it is very, very important for us. So we are saying that you have to start it as early as possible. You don't assume now that I'm not coughing, I don't have an abdominal pain, I don't have a headache, I'm okay. Until you go to the doctor, you just walk in and tell them I want to do a complete wellness assessment. Then you are given a clean bill of health and you are told good, you are well. Again, if then you are not well, we start treating that as early as possible. So somebody said that the future doctor will not be giving medicine. They will be advising on diet and lifestyle changes, not medicine anymore. It has to start now. So before we talk about supplements, you know, supplements you're going to... So we start to know what you do before getting that. So first you've mentioned doing a wellness check, you have to do frequent checkups. And these are things that people don't really do. If we are being honest and realistic, the youth will not go to hospital unless I feel a headache and it's been bothering me. We also have to factor in the economic aspect. Like Jared said, wellness encompasses everything. There's social, economic, emotional. With the economy and the healthcare prices and the costs, most people opt not to go to hospitals. So Jared, how would you advise people, regardless of these factors that may influence them against going to get the checkup? How would you advise people to go about it? Maybe I can make a joke. This joke used to say that I saw our Honorable President who wanted to introduce the healthcare aids in our interiors. And we used to say that if men could do their job, we could be able to diagnose breast cancer if they could do their job well. That was just a joke. But people, I can't advise them to go to the hospital on a daily basis to be able to be cured. They are their best doctor, number one. And our first objective is to educate them. It is to empower them. When they are empowered, we will have lesser workload on the health sector. Because believe me, they are bringing a lot of strength, the pharmaceutical interest in our country. We really export much. That's why when we are sick, it drains our economy. Our budget countrywide is just a small percentage to the healthcare. And we can advise them that the way to go is to have unhealthy habits and healthy lifestyle for them to come to the hospital. We are here to empower them. Look at imagine, you see somebody at 14, they are using pills to regulate their pregnancy at 14, 15, 16. And you feel somebody has infertility issue at 22. There is a burden on health that could be avoided if they could be educated, empowered on time. And that's why we are here to empower the public. We are not here to commercialize on daily basis. And that's why he is not trying to tell them about the supplement before he empowers them. And that's why you want to have a very thorough conversation on how should they live healthy. And from there we can talk. So there are some of the, mostly it's the habits. The habits that we do, the things that we take in are what affect us in future. So this goes very well hand in hand with the diet. So what is the value of maintaining a healthy diet? We know right now we have so many junk food places. We have Glovo, Uba It, they will deliver to your doorstep. And people order, you have discount codes and whatnot. Monika, what would you tell the youth who are in university or they are just starting out their lives and they prefer not to cook or eat healthier options? Even kids who are younger, we take children out and they just eat pizzas and chicken. What would you advise the parents and the people who do these habits? And this is more to what we are eating. And I will just quote one philosopher who said that if we don't take care of our diet now, medicine will be the lifestyle in future. So we have to be very cautious of what we are eating. That is to say you have to drink a lot of fluid water. In fact the highest percentage of our meals should have some amount of water that is fluid. We need to take a lot of vegetables, we need to take minimum carbs but we have a problem why the vegetables are very expensive. So what is available is the carbs, the Ugarli, the rice and because you want to take a large portion so that you get full then the diet then becomes inadequate. And so by the time you are getting to 35, 40 then our immunity is so low that we cannot fight infections or diseases. Again the other challenge that we have with food and this is something that I think that need to be addressed well the availability of food. We need to grow our natural food because there is availability of, you know, global of course my daughter will ask for the pizza and you know, somehow I will have to buy it but what am I doing after buying that pizza? What is it I am doing after buying that pizza? Am I advising this girl that after you eat that pizza then you need to drink a lot of water so that you detoxify your body so that you clean out your body of the toxins believe you me we don't drink water and you will even hear somebody comes to the hospital and they tell you by the time I don't love water mi is kunyua gemaji na kunyua gatu glass moja please, please water is the whole medicine in this life and we have to include it in our diet. So you've mentioned water and foods that are also high in the water content as well because water detoxifies our systems and our bodies and people will argue as I was talking about the economy investing in healthy foods is expensive they'll tell you buying all this vegetables buying the healthy oils and whatnot is very expensive also working out and paying for jib memberships they argue that it is expensive Jared, tell us the value over why we need to put money into our health and the things that will benefit us internally as early as now let me just pick a point on preventive health there is a program I was brought by Bishop Zambu he had a lot of work load in his cancelling desk where the women were struggling with sexual transmitted diseases and also a very heavy load on HIV but the funny part, they were innocent it was the effect of our culture nowadays there is this command that says do not commit adultery but our culture has changed the lexicon and the wording we have gone light touch on morals we speak about cheating and we go light and we have a vibe so I am not here to bring a moral principle on the public wherever your orientation be but I am here to say this that if we empower the public on preventive health that's why we had to take those women who are working on high risk areas through preventive care they can take preps or they can be able to be immunized based on the condition or disease that are affecting their areas therefore it's more of empowerment we could empower this kind of people I can't close all the clubs there are people working generally in high risk areas where such encounters is the world of the day but if we can empower them we can prevent the counter effect of their diseases that's why we are here to empower the public can we work on preventive before we work on curative curative is very expensive before if you knock my clinic when you are on curative condition you can prescribe at a fee but on preventive it's more on your side but if you can approach it easy you know your husband you know he's a striker probably not from my new he's a striker are you an arsenal fan genre? that was a long shot you know your husband so you take preventive measures early so that there is no I think I'm breathing a point to the public and that's a very good point because it's better to prevent something than treat it let's talk about something like cancer cancer is something that is very hard to it's almost impossible to get rid of so if you can prevent it by doing the assessments eating right, watching what you put into your body then you'll go much ahead than people who just disregard all that now Monika let's picture someone who has a good diet they drink water they do frequent medical checks but they may have a job that requires them to sit in an office so they're not very stationary or they work from home so they're always in a position where they're seated they're not as active and they do not prioritize working out and even walking what is the need if any working out and walking because I've had about 10,000 steps at least what is the essence of all these things in our health you see actually the way our bodies are made if I just sit there is that aspect of the blood circulation in the body if I just sit the whole day without moving then there is going to be stasis what we call the blood will not return so you will be advised to not only sit in the morning when we wake up the first thing you do just jog in the house you don't need to walk out create a place for yourself do jogging make yourself sweats in the evening when you're leaving work okay I leave work and maybe just dive into the car and I drive home but after that what do I do in the house for me before I sleep I must do squats I must jog just on spot jogging just raising why? because I want to improve my circulation if there is no circulation into the vital organs then I'll start feeling those feelings of you're feeling tired you're feeling fatigued you don't want to wake up you don't want all those challenges so it is very important to create some time to do some physical activities regardless of whether you feel like or not you need to move your body and you see the way that's very well said you have to at least do something and when we paired with what Jared was saying when you start early you prevent all the issues that can come about when you're getting older and your bones are tired and whatnot so Jared why would you advise someone to at least walk like the way she said most people will jump into the car or call a ride to take them home or even if they do walk it's very short distances because now we have convenience of forms of transport we have convenience of figuring out if we can walk from home or at the office or even if we have classes we can do the classes at home what is the essence of just walking around and taking a walk and breathing in fresh air even as part of the preventative measures let me I'll just throw the ball back to her because wellness is much of her specialization but I'll build the body a little bit on positive self image I think because you're speaking about jogging, you're speaking about dietary we are having an issue with the people who are having a negative self image on themselves I've seen this procedure for enlarging breast, this procedure for enlarging your waist, it's common and we charge very expensive we don't mind making money you can come on board, I'll do it very fine but I'm saying to say why do you go to that extent is because of negative self image and that's why we encourage them if they can jog, they can defeat their self image their vibe will be enhanced their confidence will be build up that's why we are telling them eat healthy, jog, keep fit so that you can have a positive self image for ladies, I'm sorry you have to look good and then so forth and it affects us a bit more even the way we walk yes, you can see even this is, dermatologists will tell you most of our products maybe for you want to change your orientation in terms of color and use extreme products, you see negative self image that pushes you to try to change your shape your orientation, your color but I want to tell people if they can embrace, it's a spiritual basically from inside outside self acceptance they can go and accept themselves they can work on their positive vibe positive self image I love this campaign and that's also with wellness this campaign they said I love it, I support it because now we are not bleaching much and now we are accepting so I just want to take a very short break and come back on that note because that is part of the wellness we want to talk about the overall wellness such that you feel confident in your body and you're okay such that you do not need any other additional services so let us take a very very short break but I want you to go on our social media platforms right now and write a comment if you have a question ask our professionals over here and they will advise you what to do and we will come back right after this break this is power talk stay tuned to Y254 TV
