EGGS and MEAT don’t cause any disease.

Unlearn and eat as much as you can…

Here is what eggs actually do for your hormones that nobody in Nigeria is teaching you:
The yolk, the part your aunty told you to throw away because of “cholesterol”, is where almost all the nutritional gold lives.

Choline. Your liver needs it to clear excess oestrogen.

Selenium. Your thyroid needs it to make the active hormone.

Cholesterol itself. Your body uses it as the raw material to build testosterone, oestrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and vitamin D.

Yes, cholesterol.
The thing you were told to fear is the same thing your hormones are made from.

Women dealing with hormonal chaos like PCOS, irregular cycles, painful periods, and mood swings are often missing the very building blocks eggs provide.

Men with low energy, poor recovery, and dropping libido are missing the same thing from a different angle.

Two to four eggs a day is not dangerous.

It is foundational.
The cholesterol fear from the 1970s came from poor research that was later discredited, but the belief never left people’s minds.

That is why many are still avoiding one of the most powerful and affordable hormone-supporting foods.

Buy real eggs.
Local if you can. The ones from the woman raising chickens behind her house are often better than supermarket options.

Boil them.
Fry them in palm oil or butter, not vegetable oil.

Eat the yolk.
Eat it consistently.
The hormones you are trying to fix with expensive supplements are sitting inside a ₦300 egg.

Are eggs the only source of protein?
No.
But they are one of the cheapest and most accessible sources of high-quality protein you can buy. Think of them as an investment in your body.

If you can afford it, aim for 5 to 6 eggs daily.

Eggs can help raise your HDL (good) cholesterol. They also contain nutrients like lutein and zeaxanthin, which may help slow down macular degeneration and support eye health. On top of that, they contribute to healthy skin and overall body function.

You really cannot go wrong by increasing your intake of high-quality protein each day.

And remember, eggs are not your only option. You can also get excellent protein from beef, chicken, turkey, salmon, other fish, oysters, and other animal products.

FROM AGE 40
Don’t avoid eggs, fat, and meat.
Eat them till you’re satisfied.

What you should do is:

Minimize carbs.

Avoid bread and its derivatives.

Restrict your eating window.
At least 16–18 hours of fasting daily.

Avoid simple sugars, sugary fruits, fruit juices, and carbonated drinks.

Avoid seed oils with everything you have.

Targeted supplementation.
(FAFORON SALUD AND SPIDEX19 daily) Ditoz 3days monthly. Change your toothpaste to Faforlife organic toothpaste

Take walks.
At least 8–10k steps daily.

Eggs shouldn’t be limited; eat as much as you want.
They’re self-limiting — you can’t overeat them; same with meat.
If you can afford to eat ten a day, please do.
One large egg contains about 6g of protein.
That’s 60g of protein, and you need about 150g to meet optimal daily intake.

Proteins are irreplaceable.
You can boil them, fry with tallow, olive, or coconut oil, scramble them, make omelets, or even egg soup.

Eat them whole, with the yolk — it’s a complete nutrition package.
Don’t be deceived.

LASTLY,
*If eggs make you fart a lot, there is a problem in your gut. Fix it urgently by changing your toothpaste to Faforlife organic toothpaste, Ditoz, Faforon, Salud and Spidex19.

Eggs don’t make one fart no matter the amount they eat.

Beans does, Why?
Because beans are plant and contain some anti-nutrients that are not friendly to the guts.
Do I still eat beans?
Yes, but not frequently.

FACT:
Eggs do not cause high cholesterol. Your liver does.

Your body produces 80% of its own cholesterol.
The liver manufactures it every single day because your body needs it.

Cholesterol builds cell membranes.
It produces hormones.
It creates vitamin D.
It makes bile acids that digest your food. Without cholesterol, you die.

The 20% that comes from food? Your body adjusts.

When you eat more cholesterol, your liver produces less.
When you eat less, your liver produces more.
It self-regulates.

The idea that eating eggs raises your blood cholesterol came from a study in the 1960s that has been debunked for over two decades.

But the lie stuck.

And now entire generations of Nigerians are afraid of one of the most nutrient-dense, affordable foods available.

One egg contains B12.
Folate. Choline. Selenium.Vitamin A.
Vitamin D. And complete protein. For less than 300 naira.

Your doctor told you to stop eating eggs.
Meanwhile, your fasting sugar is 7.2 and nobody asks about the bread and malt you have every morning.
The egg was never the problem.

WMD: US$45bn will be needed in 4 years to meet global malaria targets -WHO

By Wumi Tewogbade, Abuja

The World Health Organization (WHO) on Wednesday, said about US$45 billion would be needed in the next 4 years to meet global malaria targets.

This was contained in a message to commemorate the World Malaria Day (WMD), issued by WHO Regional Director for Africa, Dr
Mohamed Janabi, in Abuja.

The theme for 2026 WMD, is ‘ Driven to End Malaria: Now We Can. Now We Must’.

He lamented that the tiny mosquito continues to cause enormous harm. Every year, malaria kills
hundreds of thousands of people, most of them young African children.

He said, “Yet today we can also say something once unimaginable. We have the commitment, knowledge and tools to dramatically reduce malaria illness and deaths, eventually ending malaria as a public health threat”.

Speaking on the theme he said, “The theme of this year’s World Malaria Day is Driven to End Malaria: Now We Can.
Now We Must. This is both a message of hope and an urgent call to action.
Across the African Region, countries are showing stronger leadership, increasing
domestic investment and using innovation to protect those most at risk”.

He noted, “The malaria
response is entering a new phase shaped by country ownership, smarter data use, stronger community engagement and transformative new tools. Elimination is no longer
a distant aspiration. It is an achievable goal if we act decisively, now.

“Our Region still carries the world’s heaviest malaria burden. In 2024 alone, nearly 600,000 lives were lost in Africa. Three-quarters of those deaths were among young children. These preventable deaths remind us why progress cannot wait.

“There are encouraging signs of momentum. More than ten countries have increased
domestic financing for malaria programmes since January 2025. Twenty-five countries
are rolling out malaria vaccines, helping protect around 10 million children each year”.

He said the next-generation mosquito nets is designed to overcome insecticide resistance now
account for the vast majority of newly distributed nets.

“Digital technologies are improving
our ability to predict, detect and respond to outbreaks. Plus new vector control innovations are expanding our toolbox. .

“But progress is not guaranteed. Funding gaps continue to slow the response. At least US$45 billion will be needed between 2026 and 2030 to meet global malaria targets. Insecticide resistance is widespread. Drug resistance is emerging in some settings.

“Climate variability is changing transmission patterns. And humanitarian crises and displacement are increasing vulnerability”.

The WHO boss noted that, it is possible to overcome the challenges, because there are stronger political commitment, better data, more
engaged communities and more powerful tools than ever before.

“Now we must—because when investment declines and programmes weaken, malaria
returns quickly, reversing hard-won gains and costing lives. To seize this moment, five priorities are essential:

“First, countries must continue to lead the malaria response with strong national ownership. When governments prioritize malaria as a dividend of national development and mobilize domestic resources, they lay the foundation
for sustainable impact” he noted.
