ANDLE LIFESTYLE

  Resuming my nursing education after 23 years away from formal schooling was not a sudden decision—it was the result of a long, deeply personal journey shaped by experience, challenges, growth, and an unshakable calling to serve. After graduating from secondary school more than two decades ago, life led me directly into the healthcare field. Over the years, I accumulated extensive professional experience, working closely with patients, families, and multidisciplinary healthcare teams. I witnessed pain, healing, loss, hope, and resilience every single day. Healthcare was not just my workplace; it became my purpose. Yet, despite years of hands-on experience, there remained a persistent inner voice reminding me that my journey in nursing was not complete. Returning to education after such a long gap came with significant obstacles. Academically, I had to relearn how to study, write assignments, use digital learning platforms, and adapt to modern educational methods that did not exist...

  🌿 ANDLE Health & Wellness Infant Health & Safety Alert 🍼 At ANDLE Health & Wellness, protecting mothers, babies, and families through accurate health information and preventive care is at the heart of our mission. Nestlé has announced a voluntary and precautionary recall of certain infant formula products distributed in several European countries, including France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Luxembourg, and others. 🔍 What does this mean for infant health? During routine quality checks, Nestlé identified a potential quality concern related to an ingredient supplied by a third party, used in specific batches of baby formula. Further analysis showed a possible presence of cereulide, a toxin produced by Bacillus cereus bacteria. While rare, this substance may cause digestive symptoms such as vomiting or diarrhea—especially in infants whose immune and digestive systems are still developing. 👉 This recall is preventive, and no confirmed cases of illness l...

  In many of our homes and communities, poverty does not come alone. It comes holding hands with poor health—malnutrition, untreated diseases, depression, chronic stress, lack of proper medical care, and preventable deaths. When a family is poor, they often delay treatment, skip checkups, eat low-quality food, overwork their bodies, and ignore early symptoms. And when health fails, the ability to work, earn, and support the family also collapses. This cycle is deadly. But women—the backbone of households—have the power to break it. 1. Women Are the First Line of Defense Women manage children’s nutrition, hygiene, family decisions, stress management, and often finances. When a woman is empowered with knowledge and resources, an entire community benefits. Ending the poverty–poor health cycle begins with educating, mobilizing, and uplifting women. What women can do: Learn basic health knowledge (nutrition, hygiene, early symptoms, first aid, chronic disease prevention). Promote a “hea...

  Please Contact +250783494542 In every home, in every family, and in every community, there is a silent hero whose influence shapes the wellbeing of many: a woman who cares. You may not wear a white coat, but every day you make decisions that determine the health, strength, and happiness of those around you. And that truth carries a powerful message: the first expert of your health and your life is you. You are the guardian of your own body and the heartbeat of your family’s wellness. Long before someone sees a doctor or visits a clinic, it is you who notices the small changes—the fever in your child’s eyes, the fatigue creeping into your partner’s voice, or the unusual heaviness in your own chest. Your instincts are often the first alarm system. And when paired with basic health knowledge, they become a life-saving force. Wellness Begins With Awareness Caring for your health does not start with expensive checkups or complicated medical terms. It begins with simple awareness—liste...

  Behind every confident woman there is a journey; no camera can fully capture: late nights, hard lessons, silent battles, desperate tears and a heart that refused to quit. A woman who chooses to invest in her growth becomes unstoppable. She becomes her own advocate, her own inspiration, and her own definition of success. Your power is not in waiting for permission, it is in deciding that you deserve more, that you can build more, that you are more. Every woman looking at this photo should be reminded of one truth: your life elevates the moment you choose yourself : your health, your wellness, your dreams, your dignity, your future. Stand tall. Lead with purpose. And never apologize for becoming the woman you were meant to be. Your rise is your responsibility and your gift to the world. Antoinette Ndacyayisenga  @womenintoaction
