Your grandmother had a black iron pot.

It fed her children, then it fed your father, and later it fed you when you visited her village.

It was the same pot, used for decades.

It was heavy enough to break a foot, and it was black on the inside from forty years of palm oil and patience.

Nothing stuck to it because the iron itself had become naturally non-stick over time.

Then you grew up and bought a set of non-stick pans because the box at the kitchen shop said they were modern.

Your grandmother used one black iron pot to feed three generations.

You replaced it with a piece of coated aluminium that is now older than your firstborn and may be shedding into your eggs every morning.

The coating on most non-stick pans contains chemicals from a family called PFAS.

These are now called “forever chemicals” because once they enter the body, they do not easily leave.

Some have been linked to thyroid disease, others to high cholesterol, and some to reduced fertility.

Research on these chemicals has been building for over two decades.

Each time the pan is heated beyond frying temperature, the coating can begin to release particles.

These particles can enter the air, the food, and eventually the bloodstream of those eating the food.

If your pan is scratched, it is not just old; it may be shedding.

Materials like cast iron, clay, and proper stainless steel are more stable options.

These are the same materials our grandmothers used before convenience became the priority.

What was designed to be easier to wash may not be better for long-term health.

Walk into your kitchen right now and look at the inside of your main frying pan.

Is it still cooking your food… or adding something else to it?

When you are hungry, eat food, not fruits. Fruits will make you more hungry and can make you overeat. Some fruits (not the fruits that contain lots of sugar) can be part of your diet, not a replacement for your diet. You are welcome.

Everything is not cucumber and groundnut.

When it comes to gut issues like:

—Constipation
—Pile/Haemorrhoids
—Ulcerative colitis
—IBS
—Low motility
—Bloating
—Watery stool

Not all fibre is your friend.

Yes, you heard me right.
Not every food with “fibre” is safe for a damaged gut.
Cucumber with the hardback… groundnut with the skin…
If your gut is inflamed, that’s not food, that’s warfare.

Here’s the bitter truth:

If your digestion is already compromised,
high-fibre foods can worsen your symptoms.

What you need is not fibre.
What you need is healing.

—Rest the gut.
—Go OMAD or 2MAD (One or Two Meals A Day).
—Eat animal protein not powdery plant junk.
—Eat real fats like avocado and fish oil.

—Supplement with zinc and magnesium.
—Use good salts.
—Stop eating every time your stomach whispers.

Your gut is not a generator —
It was not designed to run all day.

Our ancestors didn’t eat 3–5 meals.
That’s a modern trap.
Created to enrich one group — and enslave another to pills and problems.

If your gut is in crisis:

Cut out the rough fibre.
Give your digestive system a break.
Let it heal first.

Avoid high-fibre foods for 6–8 weeks.
Let the inflammation calm down.
Then reintroduce wisely.

Your healing begins when you stop following mainstream advice blindly.
Let your body lead. Let truth guide you.
Stop attacking your colon with “health foods” that it’s not ready for.
