CABINET NOTES: The Minister of Health reported that there is a crisis in kidney failures, judging by the number of adults whose reliance on dialysis has increased.
Hypertension and diabetes are the two culprits.
He again reiterated the need for a balanced diet, a reduction in the consumption of salty foods and sugary drinks, and the need for exercise.
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is the major cause of death and amputations among the Antigua and Barbuda adult population.
Changing diet and abandoning a sedentary lifestyle are two methods by which these dreaded diseases can be avoided.

The toxic effects of the convid jibby jab jab are showing up 2-3 years after the poke. That’s why you don’t subject the majority of the population to an experiment. The unlucky folks that didn’t receive a placebo are paying a high price with their health — The sudden & unexpected deaths are part of this phenomenon.
Did any of you ministers take that crap? It’s curious that nothing has happened to any of you.
For the love of money, y’all willing sacrificed and has destroyed your countrymen health.
Bastards, the lot of you!
Antiguans didn’t have diabetes before covid jab? Chuuuuuups, Y’all sickening now. It’s like nobody died young or got sick in A&B before covid!!
Shut yu effin pie hole. The convid jabs are causing kidney failure you yu jackass. If all of a sudden chronic illnesses are exploding beyond the normal trend, then something else must be the reason
I hope you got the real bioweapon!.
@ Cannabis Indica, it’s people like Johnny that will NEVER hold the powers that be to account.
That’s why they can implement whatever they want and sheeple 🐑 like Johnny would follow them blindly over the “Covid-19” cliff.
Moreover, he’s probably on his 5th or 6th jab, and lining up for more.
Nah bother wid he, Johnny probably thinks that a ‘critical thinker’ is some sort of board game 😁
*Willingly*
And furthermore @ Cannabis Indica, many of the medical experts that were SILENCED by the “legacy media”, global governments, and not forgetting the pharmaceutical companies as well.
The ‘silenced’ medical experts were shouting from the rooftops once they discovered that the mRNA vaccines was travelling into major organs.
ALL IGNORED, AND LOOK WHERE WE ARE TODAY!!!
Is this turning out to be one of biggest travesties in all of mankind?
pure facts, but did you take it Brix?
@ I’m Blue, I am overjoyed to say that I didn’t take any of the mRNA trial vaccines – I stood firm!
Despite being banned from returning to my home, family, friends and business (and losing a five figure sum of money).
PUREBLOOD AND PROUD … GOD IS GOOD 🙏🏽
It’s a pity some livelihoods were threatened with the “no jab, no jobs” policy. Very curious as to if these ministers took it.

To help those who are less fortunate and MUST be eating healthier, the Government MUST convert CMC to a more Vegan, Organic, Holistic, Halal Super Grocery Market.
Offer TEN(10) percent discount to ALL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES, and five(5) percent to the general public.
The government is already in competition with the Private Sector in the Construction/Housing Industry, so, why not help the People with eating healthier.
Run dem Chinese and their prepackaged, over processed, overpriced unhealthy junk out of business and out of Antigua and Barbuda.

Ah@ Ras Smood, excellent suggestions again Bro. To eat healthy here is expensive and this would go a long way to help poor people. I especially like the bit about the Chinese. Thing is, and I know you realize this, it’s all a matter of affordability. Kudos
@Watching…apparently, living healthy which includes “eating healthy’l apparently a problem in many areas, of the world for some people that is.
In our case in Antigua, Barbuda & REDONDA, the authorities cannot be encouraging healthier lifestyle’s to avoid certain full blown health crisis, and do not support the populace with the necessary tools, teachings, to help them achieve their goals.
There will have to be a paradigm shift, in the thought process of many within the Nation, to bring the majority of the people onboard, the Preventative Medicine Train.
I’ve observed, that when it comes to “healthy eating,” there are certain #buzz_words which make the rounds in this circle; such words as…
A…antioxidant- all of our fruits and herbs indegenious to our region falls in this category. They way, way, way underutilised by our communities.
An example is the Neem Tree also known, as the Village Pharmacy, in Ayurveda Medicine. If you notice, not only is it very prolific in any weather conditions in the tropics, it’s pest resistant- used in organic farming as a pesticide/insecticide; it’s a hard wood in the Mahogany Family of trees.
B…GRASS FED – we have always fed our animals this way.
C…the sea around us is abound with numerous vegetation which are food sources. Seaweeds are very much underutilised too(the uses by the Japanese are phenomenal).
Seamoss became #boss during the COVID-19 pandemic!
I see Dominica is planning to invest or is willing to invest in a LIAT rising like a phoenix, and this is great; but, we need to collaborate more on AGRICULTURE and AQUACULTURE PROJECTS to include education to processing!
We have the necessary resources in the Caribbean from arable lands to wide open Seas, which can be and must be properly utilised, to help with the paradigm shift, as it pertains to Living Healthier to Eating Healthier!
As the government creates these Communities, GREEN SPACE to include Arboretums which leans more towards edible foods(roots, fruits, flowers, seeds. As a Community, one would voluntarily lend their time and get rewarded with free food.
There are ample sources of Grant Funding available to us, for these initiatives, especially with the GLOBAL WARMING CONGLOMERATES dish out funds, to make amends for their greed which reaped and is still reaping havoc on many SIDS.

diabetes. It seems not many people in Antigua knows about this test.
