Expert charges Nigerians on healthy living
Nigerians have been advised to pay cognitive attention to ensuring a healthy lifestyle.
In addition, they should endeavor to exercise regularly, eat diet related foods and ensure regular checkups to prevent risk of non-communicable diseases.
This advice was given at a one-day free screening organized by Dennis Ashley Wellness Centre, which is aimed at educating people to understand the need of living a healthy.
Speaking at the programme in Lagos, Managing Director, Dennis Ashley Wellness Centre, Dr. Chima Oti said the diet Nigerians consume in all their cultural variety defines to a large extent people’s health growth and development.
Risk behaviours, such as alcohol intake, drug abuse and physical inactivity, modify the result for better or worse living.
“All this takes place in a social, cultural, political and economic environment that can intensify the health of Nigerians unless active measures are taken to make the environment a health promoting one.
According to him, Dennis Ashley Wellness Center was borne from a need to blend under one roof, most of the different elements that give rise to the concept of wellness.
“Wellness through the ages has been regarded as a nirvana that most people regardless of class, religion, gender, ethnicity, occupation, etc. consider as impossibility.
