Did you know 💡
Even when you read silently, the muscles of your mouth, tongue, and larynx still become active.
This process is called subvocalisation.
In simple terms, your brain is still “hearing” the words internally, almost like you're speaking them in your head while reading.
That’s why many people naturally move their lips slightly or “hear a voice” while reading quietly.
What do circles and March 14th have in common? 🤔
They both celebrate Pi! (3.14) ✨
Pi is simply the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. Divide the outside edge by the width, and you always get exactly Pi. 📏
The crazy part?
Pi is an irrational number. The digits go on forever without ever repeating a single pattern!
From complex physics to slicing your pizza, Pi is everywhere.
Happy Pi Day! 🍕⭕️
Tell me below: are you celebrating with a slice of pizza today, or a sweet dessert pie?

Ever noticed this secret pattern 🌀 in nature... That's Fibonacci pattern!
WHO WAS FIBONACCI?
Fibonacci was an Italian mathematician named Leonardo of Pisa (also called Leonardo Fibonacci).
He introduced this number pattern to Europe in the year 1202 through his book Liber Abaci.
Meet Fibonacci numbers: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 13, 21 etc
Each number = the sum of the two before it.
WHY IS TODAY FIBONACCI DAY?
Fibonacci Day is on November, 23rd.
And 11/23 follows the beginning of the sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3.
The date itself forms the pattern... Amazing, right?
WHERE DO WE SEE FIBONACCI IN REAL LIFE?
In Nature:
•Number of petals on many floors (3, 5, 8, 13)
•Seashell curves.
•Hurricane and galaxies
•Human face. proportions
Fibonacci makes growth efficient and beautiful, so nature uses it a lot.
THE GOLDEN RATIO!
As the Fibonacci numbers get bigger, the ratio of one number to the next becomes
1.618033... (it continues forever)
This is called the Golden Ratio.
It is usually written as φ (phi)
It appears in:
• Architecture
• Human body
It's considered "the perfect proportion."
Happy Fibonacci Day!
To grow beautifully, one step at a time.
1, 1, 2, 3... 🌹🌻🌷

Happy Fibonacci Day! 🌀✨
Question 1
Which organ produces insulin?

WORLD DIABETES DAY: AWARENESS MESSAGE FROM EXCEL BRIDGE INSTITUTE
A BRIEF HISTORY OF WORLD DIABETES DAY
World Diabetes Day (WDD) was established in 1991 by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) in response to the growing global threat of diabetes. In 2006, it gained further recognition when the United Nations declared it an official UN Day through Resolution 61/225.
The goal has always been simple but urgent:
To raise global awareness about diabetes, its risks, and the steps people can take to prevent and manage it.
WHY NOVEMBER 14?
World Diabetes Day is commemorated every year on November 14, a date chosen to honor Sir Frederick Banting, who - alongside Charles Best - discovered insulin in 1921.
Their discovery remains one of the most important breakthroughs in medical history and continues to save millions of lives.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR BODY & SUGAR: KEY TERMS
1. Glucose
Glucose is the body’s main source of energy. It comes from:
- The food you eat
- The liver
Normal blood glucose level (for people without diabetes): 70 - 99 mg/dL
2. Insulin
Insulin is a hormone that helps move glucose from the bloodstream into the cells for energy.
Without enough insulin, glucose remains in the blood - causing health complications.
3. Pancreas
This organ produces insulin. When the pancreas fails to make enough insulin, blood sugar levels rise.
4. Islet Cells
These are special cells in the pancreas responsible for producing insulin. If they fail, the body cannot regulate glucose properly.
5. Glycemia
Glycemia refers to the level of glucose in the blood.
- Normoglycemia: Normal blood sugar level
- Hyperglycemia (High Blood Sugar): Causes excessive urination, thirst, and may lead to ketoacidosis
- Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Sugar): Usually below 70 mg/dL and may cause dizziness, shaking, sweating, and confusion
WHAT IS DIABETES?
Diabetes is a non-communicable disease (NCD) that occurs when:
- The pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or
- The body cannot effectively use the insulin produced
Diabetes is chronic, but with proper care and lifestyle changes, it can be managed successfully.
TYPES OF DIABETES
1. Type 1 Diabetes
- Often called juvenile diabetes, though it can occur at any age
- The body produces little or no insulin
- It is an autoimmune condition, where the immune system attacks insulin-producing cells
- People with Type 1 diabetes require daily insulin to survive
2. Type 2 Diabetes
- The most common type
- The body becomes insulin resistant, and the pancreas may not produce enough insulin
- Can develop at any age, including childhood
- More common in adults, especially those who are overweight, inactive, or have a family history of diabetes
3. Gestational Diabetes
- Occurs during pregnancy
- Usually resolves after delivery
- Women who have had gestational diabetes have a higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later

When two even numbers are added, the sum is always an even number.
For example:
2 (even) + 4 (even) = 6 (even)
10 (even) + 6 (even) = 16 (even)
This is a fundamental property of arithmetic, and it's always true.
