To health educators & promoters, epidemiogists, nutritionists & all health professionals, I am really worried. And you too should be. Why? The battle against non- Communicable diseases is far from being won. The dominant but mistaken thinking that being heavy, overweight & obese= being healthy and on the other hand being slim & small-framed = being unhealthy is a serious cause for alarm. To the contrary, a lean body= a strong one 💪. Is this hard to understand? Weight loss can only be worrying if it's unintentional,unexplainable, and most times due to malnutrition or an involuntary matabolic syndrome associated with underlying chronic sickness. BUT if weight loss is intentional & achieved through measures such as dieting or slimming that involve reducing one's total body mass through calorie reduction, increased physical activity, or lifestyle changes its nothing else BUT an act to celebrate. It is one of the best health targets/outcomes every rational & disciplined person should set and aim to achieve. Yes, looking lean or slim may worry some that may not be used with a person's new looks, BUT it is all ok. Obesity has never been a badge of honor! So dear friends sending me messages of "quick recovery"( and especially those of you doing so out of love, not mockery), please take heart , I am not sick. My new looks are intentional. Its well with me & I thank God for all his blessings and mostly the gift of life! Otherwise,Greetings from NALI, our Political MECCA!

Road Safety Alert In light of the increasing number of road crashes across the country, traffic enforcement operations have been intensified to promote discipline and safety on our roads.

The most common offence was driving DMCs, which accounted for 330 cases. Other offences recorded included: • Riding without a helmet – 99 cases • Driving with invalid licences – 77 cases • Operating without a licence – 72 cases • Violation of traffic directions – 67 cases • Illegal vehicle modification – 53 cases • Dangerous loading – 47 cases As @uganda_drivers , we strongly emphasize that road safety is a shared responsibility. Every driver, rider, and road user must strictly adhere to traffic rules and regulations to reduce crashes, save lives, and maintain order on our roads. ⚠️ We urge motorists to always wear helmets, carry valid driving licences, follow traffic directions, and ensure their vehicles are roadworthy.

Good meal but too much Matooke! Only half of the matooke served would be ideal and the other half replaced by more greens.

.@MoWT_Uganda in partnership with @PoliceUg,has rolled out Mandatory Motor Vehicle Inspection to enhance road safety, protect the environment, and safeguard public health. Vehicle owners are urged to comply and have their vehicles inspected at designated stations. #OpenGovUg

Well @UG_Airlines was on time today and the staff was really patient. New year resolutions?

Great driver, right call. Rest is key and you are bound to make wrong decisions when fatigue kicks in. Safe Roads Save Lives
