THIS IS NOT DIRTY, THIS IS INSULIN RESISTANCE PREPARING YOU FOR A FULL BLOWN DIABETES AND HYPERTENSION.
This is medically called ACANTHOSIS NIGLICAN which is an indicatable SIGN OF INSULIN RESISTANCE A CAUSE OF DIABETES.
Few weeks ago I was traveling from Kasama to Kabwe on Bus, public transport and as usual I was very observant about habits and physical appearance of the people who were travelling
More than 50% of people in that bus had what we call Acanthosis Nigricans - those dark hyperpigmented velvety patches on the back of the neck, armpits, groin folds, in the folds of skin on the abdomen.
Obviously, I could only observe the necks and that's what I was doing. Some of the people had it faint and in some it was quite dark. Young, old, females, males, children, teenagers, no one is spared.
Even the people who look slim from behind had it, and and behold when I saw them from the front, they had a good potbelly/paunch not surprising.
Acanthosis is one of the first signs of Insulin Resistance, which is the precursor of Diabetes , hypertension and other metabolic disorders. This is a general profile of people of this country called Zambia. Don't expect your government or your favourite hospital to protect you from these ailments.
This is 2026, focus on your health. The economy is tinkling, you can not afford to be with diagnosis of diabetes or hypertension or cancer because these ailments are money draining.
Fix your life.
