The Special Adviser To Governor Chukwuma Soludo On Youth Empowerment Programme, Dr Nelson Omenugha has emphasized the importance of having a healthy lifestyle in building a viable and progressive society.
Dr Omenugha said that healthy lifestyle helps to increase productivity which he said will metamorphose into having a healthy economy and a more productive society.
Dr Omenugha who was reacting to the recent healthy living market outreach embarked on by the wife of the Governor, Mrs Nonye Soludo, noted that the initiative is timely as most people don’t understand the need to embrace simple and cheap practices that will earn one a healthy life.
According to Dr Omenugha, the outreach will help to teach women who are mostly in charge of what families eat at home the best healthy living practices for the common man to live long.
He noted that if the mindset of the women are changed for good in terms of eating the right food and engaging in exercise, then the society will become healthy and longevity will return.
Dr Omenugha used the opportunity to call on the youth community in Anambra to embrace the healthy living practice as preached by Mrs Soludo for their good and that of the state.
He noted that the manner at which young people die recently is worrisome and called on youths to always check what they eat, drink and ensure they engage in exercise daily to keep their body system engaging and active.
He commended Mrs Soludo for the initiative adding that it is only a healthy man that is thinking of how to be rich because it is life first before anything follows.
