Heart Attacks-
Drinking Warm Water:

This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal, but about Heart Attack's. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals, not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating. For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is very Harmful to have Cold Drink/Water during a meal. Because,
the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

French fries and Burgers
are the biggest enemy of heart health. A coke after that gives more power to this demon.
Avoid them for your Heart's & Health.

Drink one glass of warm water just when you are about to go to bed to avoid clotting of the blood at night to avoid heart attacks or strokes.

A cardiologist says if everyone who reads this message sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life. ...

So, please be a true friend and send this article to people you care about!💞 Courtesy.

CHANGING THE NARRATIVE: DUFUTH COLLEGE OF HEALTH TECHNOLOGY HOLDS MAIDEN INTERACTIVE SESSION

The one-day academic discourse organised by the David Umahi Federal University Teaching Hospital College of Health Technology (DUFUTH CHT), Uburu, has ended with eyes fixed on repositioning health technology training and standard practice in the institution.

The session, themed “Changing the Narrative”, was held at the DUFUTH Chapel, with participants drawn from students, staff and stakeholders of the College.

Declaring the session open, the Chief Medical Director of the hospital, represented by the Chairman, Medical Advisory Committee, Dr. Ugoji Darlington-Peter, charged the College to align its curriculum and training with global best practices in order to produce competent health workers who can meet present-day health challenges.

The CMD who disclosed that the hospital management has been working behind the scenes to reposition the College for growth, assured that some of the issues identified affecting the school would be looked into and roadmap developed for the transformation of the institution.

Earlier in his opening remarks, the Provost of the College, Eld. Aja Josiah Nwadibia, said the engagement was designed to foster dialogue, innovation and excellence in health technology education. He urged participants to embrace new ideas that would transform healthcare delivery in the country.

The Provost reiterated that the College has made tremendous milestones in academic excellence, infrastructure development and staff training within few years of its emergency.

Citing the college's participation in National and West Africa Examinations as core evidence of work in progress, Eld. Nwadibia called for collective responsibility to sustaining the tempo especially in area of transitioning NBTE regulated status, re-accreditation of existing programs, site acquisition and development for the college and the provision of adequate manpower to support the expanding programmes and carring capacity.

Delivering the keynote address on "Changing the Narrative: From Graduating Students to Producing Professional", the Guest Speaker, Prof. Doris Atibinye Dotimi, Dean, Faculty of Health Sciences, Bayelsa Medical University, emphasized the need for a paradigm shift in the way health technology is taught and practiced. She noted that “changing the narrative” requires commitment to research, professionalism and patient-centered care.

Prof. Doris encouraged the institution to focus on training health professionals who are deliberately equipped on graduation. She added that graduates should be able to think critically, communicate effectively, and work within a multidisciplinary team without inferiority or superiority complex.

She further stressed that students must demonstrate ethical and professional behaviour, and should be able to adhere to and carry out evidence-based practice upon graduation.

On her path, the DUFUTH Director of Administration, Mrs. Edith Anih expressed renewed commitment of the hospital management, staff and stakeholders to repositioning DUFUTH CHT as epicentre for churning out high quality health professionals.
