Wife of the Governor of Anambra State Mrs Nonye Soludo says with regulated dietary habits and regular health checks, rising mortalities resulting from acute diabetes and high blood pressure could be checked.
Mrs Soludo, who was speaking in Awka, explained that one of the major preventive stumbling blocks against the dangerous sicknesses is the unwillingness to eat right and going for regular and proper medical check.
The Governor’s wife stated that both ailments could be managed only if discovered early.
Mrs Soludo, who is a nutritionist and healthy living enthusiast, said that living full-time organic foods remains the ideal choice for building a perfect human system, and called for renewed interest in organic and regenerative agriculture, which the present administration is keenly pushing.
The governor’s wife, who regretted the growing statistics on deaths as a result of diabetes and high blood pressure in Nigeria, commended the Anambra office of the World Health Organization and the State’s Ministry of Health for scheduling a statewide awareness on diabetes, high blood pressure among others.
She asked that the campaign be strategically streamlined to get to the doors of all Anambra residents, including schools, worship places, Markets and community squares, among others.
