Nigerians have been advised to cultivate the habit of exercising daily for good health.
This is as some residents of the federal capital territory took to the streets of the metropolis for the monthly Limi Hospital health walk.
The walk commenced from the central business district of the hospital to the NNPCL towers and back to the hospital.
Speaking on the health importance of the walk, the Chief Executive of Limi Hospital, Dr Remi Iseko said it is to reduce the rising trends of deaths resulting from diabetes, hypertension and other heart related illnesses.
She said the walk which is observed by the hospital every last Saturday of the month is to raise awareness on the benefits of exercise to physical fitness and mental alertness.
Earlier, the Executive Director, Limi Hospital, Dr Iseko Iseko disclosed special packages including free blood and sugar checkups to be introduced to the monthly health walk.
Meanwhile, some participants commended the hospital for the initiative and urged other residents to key in for their well-being.
Over 300 Abuja residents participated in the November edition of the Limi Hospital health Walk.
