Tema is a beautiful city that has evolved into the industrial hub of Ghana; home to an oil refinery and numerous factories and employment opportunities. This has led to increased rural-urban migration into the community leading to an overwhelming increase in the demand for food. Several food outlets set up to provide easy access to ready-to- eat foods have resulted into unhealthy food choices.
Have you forgotten that excess intake of foods containing high amounts of fats and calories with low nutritional value can be very harmful to your health?
When we asked some people why they opt for ready-to-eat food, these were their response……..
1. THEY ARE SWEET
2. THEY ARE NICE
3. BECAUSE OF TIME I DON’T EAT AT HOME
4. THEY ARE ATTRACTIVE
Short tern effects like fatigue and loss of concentration….
Some long term effects include;
Increased risk for obesity, diabetes and hypertension leading to several forms of heart disease.
THE WAY FORWARD…
Mr Andrew Kpabi, a dietician highlighted that care should be given not only to the quantity of food consumed but also how we ensure our bodies maximize the energy obtained from food consumed….As such,
LET US MAINTAIN A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE BY…
1. Engaging in physical activities to burn excess calories
2. Eating our healthy traditional foods in the right proportion to strengthen our immune system
3. Drinking enough water to keep the body hydrated

LET’S ALL RISE TO THE OCCASION AND CREATE AWARENESS.
 To promote our campaign for eating of healthy food, we have developed NUTRIGUIDE+, an app that provides users with quick access to various websites where they can easily find reliable information about different foods, their nutritional values and their effect on the body.
We decided to share the app with the Tema community….

REMEMBER;
You always have a choice
Why not choose wisely???????
