 Okay, you're welcome back. Right now we're talking about what the craze is in Nigeria right now, the trend in Nigeria. Everybody's trying to break a world record, but we're looking at the medical or the health issues that are associated with breaking a world record. For instance, cooking for 100 hours or 150 hours for doing a lot of other things that people want to do and be the only ones that have done that in a lifetime or something and enter the Guinness World Records Book. But we're going to be talking about, like I said, the health aspect of it and we're glad to be joined this morning by Dr. Fate Ajakai, a medical officer. Good morning and welcome to the program, Dr. Okay, well, a lot of people want to break records and before I come to you, doctor, there is one particular record that in Nigeria and intends to break 200 hours of crying and he calls it cryotone. So let's just take that clip right now before we go back to the discussion that we are taking this morning. I'm sure that it's a record that should be followed by laughotone so that after crying so much, who will love for so long, he's crying and watching the time because he's on one seat and the other seat has the time that shows how much he has cried. When that video was done, he had already cried up to two hours, out of the 200 hours that he intends to cry. Doctor, today we're looking at the health aspect of these attempts at breaking world records. We saw Hilda Basi, that seems to be the one who has triggered the trend. She cooked for 100 hours even though some hours were reduced from her cooking hours. She cooked for 100 hours straight. The other person wants to cook for 200 hours, 150 hours, whatever they want to do, they want to do for this long. Let us know what that means to the body of the person trying to break a record or set a record. The person that is trying to break your record for very long hours, there's something we call... So at that period of time, the person is going through a lot of stress. So there's something we call stress almost that is being released at that time that helps to keep your body alert at that moment and keep you awake at that moment. But when this period of time, this stress period is being prolonged, it causes some damages to the body. Definitely if you are not sleeping for a very long time, probably for more than a day or two, there will be physical rejection, your body won't be able to take it. So this almost has been released and you feel tired, you feel exhausted at that moment and this almost has been released and it can result to so many health conditions, such as it can increase your heart rate at that moment, it can increase your blood pressure at that moment. This is very essential for if you are going to do that, you should have a medical treatment please. So it can also increase your blood pressure, it can also increase your blood sugar level, which if you are being exposed to a lot of stress at that moment can result to being diabetic and whatnot. So at that moment also, since you are standing for a very long time, it can result to back pain because you are putting your body at a very long period and so your body is resting at your back bone. So it can develop back pain, it can develop sugar pain at that period of time. And also just for a long, okay. Go on, go on, go on. Alright, so for a long term cost is that in which this stress almost can, it can result to for a female, it can result to in regular menstrual cycle, well, menstrual cycle will be regular at that moment. And also for a male, it can reduce your blood pressure almost at that period. And also at that moment, so your immune system can also be reduced. So you have some sales of infection at that moment. Okay, you mentioned something really interesting there for the male, but let's not look at that for now. When you are at it, at the moment that you are at it, if you must do it, are there special things you should pay attention to, like the food you eat and so on? Of course, the food is very essential. That's why even before you start the work, the record-breaking period, you should undergo a lot of, you have to condition your body, you have to condition your body, do some exercise, and condition your body because you are placing your severance time, even mentally and physically. So you have to do some exercise before even starting your work. When record-breaking period. So that is very, very essential for you to condition your body soon. So, like, prepare your body for that stress you are going to have at home. Okay, well, you said for a woman it can disrupt your menstrual cycle, for instance, but if it does disrupt your menstrual cycle, is it going to harm your reproductive health? Well, if we are not, if you come back to normal self, it's just for a period of time. Maybe after undergoing that sort of stress, it will, maybe for like two to three months, your menstrual cycle will be very vulnerable. It will definitely come back to normal. And if you are a guy, there's a tendency that once you're finished from, like this guy who is crying, you might just finish 200 hours of crying and his testosterone is so high, he becomes randy. Are we under threat? Do you understand? I don't think he's crying is good for, now it depends on, now depends on what you're trying to do, what you're trying to make. Cry is always to the soul. Just like sit down, try to calm. So, oh, let me, let's power everything that you are being, you are not exhausting your body, you are just crying. So, you think crying is not exhaustive? I don't think crying is exhaustive. Like, I don't think... Doctor, you have not cried. You have not cried before. Cry, the kind of crying that he is crying, like a higher cry. Maybe, if you've lost somebody, that's when you cry the next day, that's when you feel like you're sick. I don't know. Trying to cry for hope. Well, okay, alright. Well, we talked about food being a very integral part, you discipline your body and all that, but are there particular types of food that if you need to do this kind of exercise? Because it's a mental exercise as well. It's a physical one, it's a mental exercise as well, and all that. Are there particular types of food that we should concentrate on more than others? Yes, we should concentrate more on... because the best way to do it is to put in the need of carbohydrates. So, you need to put in other things like the stations, what things do you think, look? So, it's to help you build up some more some amino acids that you need to know to help you with your digestive system. So, and the carbohydrates is a solution for time to help you give you food that you need to know. Okay, now, let's look at when, after they have finished whatever they are doing, I see Hilda Bassey, I don't know beyond what I see on the social media or all that, but what I'm thinking is that after she finished that, she just started basking in the euphoria of having worn or broken a world record. Nothing was said about therapy or something after that kind of a trainer's exercise. Do you recommend therapy after that exercise or you can just start to function and let your body correct itself after a while? Because let's say you're standing for 150 hours or you're doing something else for 200 hours or even the 100 hours that Hilda undertook. Do you recommend therapy or you think the body can correct itself? Well, I recommend therapy. Therapy is very good because you also love doing it so definitely if you have someone that you can talk to, that you can have in their world and also, apart from just on the book, it's called therapy, it's called mental therapy. So it's very important after that. Okay, well, not everybody will enter the Guinness Book of Records, but to live in Lagos and survive, you're already in a book of records that may not be recognized worldwide. We're looking at the kind of breakdown that negotiations especially might go through if they don't do X, Y, Z. So if you see the trainer's life in Lagos and you're trying to recommend something for the person who stays in Lagos, maybe you get home in the night very late because of the traffic, you get up very early so that you can beat that traffic and get to work every day of your life. And it takes a toll on your body. What do you recommend that Legosians need to do to stay healthy even in the face of the kind of adversity that we face in Lagos? Okay, it's very important if we always have like irreplaceable culture because that's very important. A lot of people that are going about it is very increased blood pressure and potential and the potential is a silent skill. So it's very important if you do a regular checkup, it's very important if you even have a machine that which you can really check your blood pressure at home, checking your sugar level at home is very, very important as individuals, as Legosians, as you say. So honestly, regular blood pressure at home is very important if we should do that that will help us. Well, this is our Legos we'll have to survive it and all that. So just a general advice for people because we don't like going to hospitals. That is by we, I mean Nigerians generally. When you hear that somebody has gone to hospital and said, oh, okay, this case must have been so much. Maybe it's at a dying point that's why he had to go to the hospital. Our people don't like going to the hospital and all that. So just a general advice to Nigerian people as regards their health, healthcare and all that before we wrap up. All right. So that's the general even if we don't have patients I guess you can dedicate it there with everyone to go to the hospital just to improve blood health. Like to say what is that so and like I said earlier you should also have like your machine where you can take your blood pressure you can take a sugar level that will help you a lot so that if there's any crisis you can come to the hospital Okay.
