Anambra First Lady, Mrs Nonye Soludo, has renewed her call for a regulated intake of salt, considering the current high mortality cases and sicknesses resulting from over-consumption of sodium-based foods.
Mrs. Soludo who stated this in Awka while addressing business women and female farmers, pointed to recent statistics by the World Health Organization, WHO, that over two million deaths occur annually due to salt related sicknesses.
She noted that while salt is an important ingredient for food, consuming it more than the recommended unit leads to serious health problems.
While asking the women to always be careful about what they consume, the Governor’s wife urged them to see healthy living as an important factor to life, without which the body becomes deteriorated.
She also talked about the importance of organic agriculture and its impact on human and environmental health and urged the female farmers to see the practice as not only safe but healthy.
Mrs. Soludo also talked about her healthy living project and urged the women to take the lead in the campaign by not only living it out, but most importantly, impacting the ideas on their immediate society.
Earlier in her address, the National President of the association, Mrs. Nkiru Onuigbo applauded the Governor’s wife for leading a campaign of change in trying to make healthy living a household norm in Anambra State.
