Anambra First Lady urges healthy lifestyles on World Brain Day

Anambra State First Lady, Dr Nonye Soludo, has called on Nigerians to prioritize healthier lifestyles, stressing the vital role of a healthy brain in achieving overall wellbeing. As the founder of the NGO Healthy Living with Nonye Soludo, she issued a statement on Wednesday to mark World Brain Day, highlighting practices that protect brain health.

Dr. Soludo recommended adopting habits such as eating nutritious meals, engaging in regular physical activities, ensuring adequate sleep, pursuing continuous learning, and prioritizing mental wellness. She urged individuals to pay greater attention to their mental health and reduce the risk of neurological disorders through these healthy habits, including exercise, proper sleep, and managing cardiovascular risks.

"As we commemorate ‘World Brain Day’ today, it’s crucial to remember that a healthy brain is the foundation of a sound and healthy life," Dr. Soludo stated. "By embracing good nutrition, regular physical activity, quality sleep, lifelong learning, and mental wellness, we can protect one of God’s greatest gifts. Let’s nurture our minds, support one another, and build a healthier, more productive society."

World Brain Day, observed annually on July 22, was established by the World Federation of Neurology to raise awareness about neurological disorders and promote access to brain health services. This year's campaign focuses on making brain healthcare accessible to all, regardless of socioeconomic background, and encourages early detection, timely diagnosis, and proper care to help preserve independence for individuals affected by neurological conditions.
