😳 54 billion litres of sugary drinks consumed in Nigeria... and it’s costing lives.
Experts are calling it what it is: a silent killer.
🍷 Sugary drinks are fueling diabetes, heart issues, and early deaths — and we’re drinking them like water.
Globally, over 537 million people live with diabetes. It’s projected to hit 643 million by 2030. That’s not the future — it’s unfolding right now.
And yet…
What happened to fruits, natural juices, hibiscus drinks, tigernut milk?
People say, “they’re expensive”…
Until the hospital bill reminds them what expensive really means.
Your health is your wealth. Take it serious.
Here’s what I do:
1. I got a black water bottle — my favorite color.
2. It stays close, especially when I study or work.
3. I know my why — I don’t want to suffer preventable diseases.
4. I follow God’s health laws: natural foods, fruits, vegetables.
5. I replace soda with juices that actually help me live longer.
6. I stay intentional.
7. I keep people around me who hold me accountable.
As a medical student and entrepreneur, I’ve learned:
You can’t build legacy on a weak body.
You can’t live your purpose if you’re constantly fighting illness.
Stay healthy. Stay sharp. Stay grounded
