Minister
Audrey Micah, Ghanadot
Accra, Feb 3, Ghanadot - The former Minister of Health, Major
Rtd Courage Quashigah has stated that most deaths in the country
could be avoided if Ghanaians will learn to eat to live rather
than live to eat. He said most Ghanaians have become more
accustomed to eat for taste and the satisfaction of a full
stomach than for the proper functioning and maintanance of their
bodies.
Major Rtd Quashigah who was speaking at the first anniversary of
the of the programme “Issues of Life, Healthy Cooking, for
Health Living”, reiterated that to maintain health, one must
follow certain requirements and guidelines as far as food intake
is concerned.
“We must make sure that there is adquate and balanced nutrients
are priority in our meals, we must also check that there are
sufficient calories in order to supply us with the energy we
need to move through our daily tasks. We must also try to
incorporate a greater variety of the many foods that are
available to us”.
Touching on the cooking environment, Mr. Quashigah appealed to
women to keep their cooking utensils clean, stressing that the
hands must be washed regularly in order to protect us from
contracting diseases.
He was quick to add that the use of proper utensils for the
preparation of food is of the utmost heath concern and urged
that proper utensils be used in cooking meals to avoid any
sickness at all times.
The former Minister of Health disclosed that in recent decades,
they have seen an enormous rise in the incidence of Altheimers
disease which he said is as a result of the presence of
aluminium cookware that we use in preparing food.
He called on the called for the restoration of home economics
and cookery courses as core curriculum areas of study in the
country.
In her presentation, Mrs. YvonneNduom, the wife of the flag
bearer of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) of the just ended
elections, said it is always vital to eat properly, taking into
consideration the quantity and the dose.
She hinted on the utensils saying that when aluminium is heated
and used for food preparation, tiny flecks of the metal will be
scraped from the pot’s walls by the spoons and forks, and that
become lodged in the food being cooked which brings about
ingested during the course of the our meal.
Mrs. Nduom congratulated the organisers of the show and urged
them to continue helping Ghanaians on how to live healthy lives.
