The wife of the Anambra State Governor, Dr Nonye Soludo, has advised Nigerians to embrace healthy living, good nutrition, environmental cleanliness, basic life skills and sound morals in order to maintain longevity and fight diseases.
Soludo gave the advice in Awka, on Friday during a media chat to promote her project, tagged, ‘Healthy living with Nonye Soludo Campaign’.
She said, “I started championing ‘Healthy living with Nonye Soludo’ 10 years ago. I give talks on healthy lifestyles and good diets with our local foods.
“I want to bring the message home to our people because we need to be healthy to achieve a liveable and prosperous homeland.
“I have started forming healthy living clubs in our schools to inculcate the culture of healthy lifestyles and catch them young so that they can grow into responsible adults.
“Our children need to get addicted to eating healthy, doing physical exercises and environmental hygiene to stay healthy, rather than get addicted to their phones and social media.”
She also urged citizens to cut down on processed and chemicalised foods and embrace backyard farming in order to harvest and eat natural foods.
