Mr. Wise Letsa
A dietician, Mr Wise Let¬sa has advised workers not to sacrifice their health in their quest to make ends meet.
Speaking in an inter¬view with The Spectator on Monday, he said, many people in an attempt to become wealthy, overwork themselves at the expense of their health.
He emphasised the need for ‘self-love,’ describing it as an important principle not only for bringing joy, happiness and realising one’s worth but also for improv-ing health and well-being.
Mr Letsa advised that people must devote same energy towards the welfare of others to themselves, es¬pecially with regard to issues concerning their health.
“If you love yourself, you should care for yourself. This however is not the case for many people. The daily hustles take the time need¬ed for self-care. In the end, they become stressed and get sick,” he said.
He said, making enough time for sleep and rest had not been the priority of many.
“Though there might not be time to sleep when work demands are so high, planning one’s activities well and making room for enough sleep, may be one of the best solutions to ensuring good health,” he said.
The Dietician stressed the need to also eat well and on time to make the body healthy.
“You will naturally not allow your body to feel hun¬gry for long because you love yourself. But this love even becomes more meaningful if you choose healthy foods,” he stressed.
He said persons who loved themselves, always made time to exercise, lose weight and stay healthy.
“I see how hard it is for my obese patients to even get up from their seats when they visit my consulting rooms. Also, many of them cannot afford to bend down and lace their own shoes, which frustrates them se¬verely. With love for oneself, you will be motivated to exercise,” he advised.
He assured that those who prioritised their health felt good about themselves and have peace within their bodies.
Mr Letsa said eating well would ensure good blood sugar levels, good cholester¬ol levels, weight control and good blood pressure.
The Dietician advised that everyone must love them¬selves a little more and stop taking decisions that would affect their health.
“Make that move that will benefit you. Hit the road, get a walk, dance, swim, or do any exercise that you find easy to do,” he said.
From Dzifa Tetteh Tay, Tema
The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
