Hi there. How are you? I hope you are doing great. Welcome to my post, which is the first-ever participation post for the LPUD initiative! I will also share my brief diary on Saturday as well as a short chamber Talk!

LEO Power-Up Day

There are some established monthly power-up days on HIVE, such as HPUD (the first of every month), CPUD (the 10th of every month), LPUD (the 15th of every month), and BPUD (the 20th of every month). I have participated (and still participate) in all of these power-up initiatives except for LPUD. Today is June 15th, and I am going to start participating in LPUD. Hence, it's my first ever LPUD participation! Yay!

TBH, I am not quite active in the LEO verse. Hence, my LEO wallet isn't worth mentioning. I post some threads sometimes, not every day. I made a handful of long posts from the Inleo front-end. As a result, my author rewards in LEO are almost nil. Not having a big stake, the same goes for the curation rewards!

So, how did I get the $LEO I am going to power-up today? I was determined to participate in this month's LPUD. Hence, I bought all 150 $LEO from the marketplace! I am planning to acquire a minimum of $LEO every month in the same manner so that I can keep participating in this monthly event!

Here is the proof of powering up 150 $LEO!!

Short Saturday Diary and Chamber Talk

I consulted 23 patients in my chamber on Saturday. Hence, it wasn't a hectic day for me. In the last hour, I got a bunch of patients together. For some investigations, I was even 40 minutes late finishing the evening shift duty!

In the morning shift, one below-40 diabetic patient came. He was diagnosed around 2 months ago and given oral medicines for one month. He was asked to come for a follow-up one month before, re-check his sugar, and do the necessary (if needed) adjustment! He couldn't come for a follow-up. He didn't buy the sugar medicine either! After one month, he finished his sugar medicines and waited one more month without any medicine before coming to me this time! I asked him why he didn't continue his medicine! He thought that the medicine was given only for one month! Lack of proper counselling!!

I could walk on the treadmill for 10 minutes only before lunch, on Saturday. I could do only 9704 steps on the day, according to the Fitbit report!

Health Titbit

Drinking coffee in the morning!

Coffee is one of the most common beverages worldwide! It carries some health benefits. Various studies and research have already revealed that regular & moderate consumption of coffee may be associated with a reduced risk of type 2 DM, cardiovascular diseases, and premature death! However, does the time of consuming coffee (morning, evening, or night) add extra benefits? Maybe! An observational study in the European Heart Journal revealed a link between morning coffee drinking and a lower risk of certain conditions!

The study authors analyzed data on 40,725 adults aged 18 and older, collected from 1999 to 2018. At the end of the analysis, the authors found an interesting association. Those who drank coffee in the morning (from 4 a.m. to 11:59 a.m.) experienced a 16% lower risk of premature death from any cause and a 31% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease. All-day coffee drinkers didn’t have such risk reductions!

So, if (and when) you drink coffee, try it in the morning for better health benefits! A soft reminder is that it’s just an outcome from the data analysis. It could be a mere association. It’s not an established experimental fact! Still, if you are asking for a time to drink coffee, keep this study in mind. Who knows, maybe you will get the benefits like the study population :)
