Need to adopt healthy lifestyle

Ghanaians should be encouraged to adopt healthy lifestyle that will make them live longer.

Many people today do not go beyond 50 years just because of unhealthy lifestyles they usually adopt.

Some of the foods we take in have been contaminated in various ways through poisonous colouration of foodstuff, and use of chemicals, to preserve meat and food products.

Tilapia, for instance, in some cases, have been contaminated with formalin to preserve them for long.

All these end up killing some of us after living a short while on earth. Palm oil, in order to look attractive, is also contaminated with certain chemicals to make it look reddish and appealing to consumers.

These destroy the organs within the human body resulting in loss of lives within a short time on earth.

For this reason, people must begin to raise questions on the kinds of food they consume, whether cooked or uncooked, so that only what is good for life can be consumed into the human body.

It is equally important for everybody to avoid the consumption of too much sugar, salt and oil.

People must also learn to exercise regularly so that they will look healthy at all times.

In addition, we must have enough sleep. If these things are carried out on regular basis, we will have our lives prolonged and thereby be able to cater for the young ones who are coming after us.

This is what we must all do if we want to live longer lives.
