World Health Day
Yesterday, the 7th of April 2019 marked World Health Day! How woke is that! #Fitnessgoals, #fitfam, #healthylifestyle, #healthyliving are jumping out of the pages of Instagram and steadily making a dent on the glass ceilings. Still, a lot of work needs to be done, especially in this part of the continent. An average Nigerian believes that his day-to-day activities sums up to over an hour full-body work-out, can eat about any meal at any given time with a clear conscience…
Studies have stated that 75% of black people live beyond the age 60. Of recent, a news source projected the life expectancy of an average Nigerian by 2050 at 50 years. This is alarming but not a surprise; the love of fried chicken, flour products, fries, sugary donuts, a huge bowl of “fufu” at 12:00 am and little or no physical activity are all indicators leading to this outcome.
