● Unhealthy foods ruin exercise regime
Dietician, Mr. Wise Letsa has noted with concern, how some organisers of health walk serve unhealthy foods and even alcohol after their activities.
“Foods like fried proteins and sausages, fried and oily rice, large portions of any meal etc are bad foods or bad eating habits that can make nonsense of your exercise regime “ the Health Advocate disclosed in an interview with The Spectator on Wednesday.
He further cautioned against the consumption of a lot of soft drinks and alcohol during exercise.
He said at a time when lifestyle related diseases had taken centre stage in the society, the development of serving unhealthy food after exercise was worrying.
The dietician said as many young people were getting hypertension, strokes, diabetes, kidney diseases among others and even leading to death, healthy eating and exercising should be a priority for all.
He said keep fit exercises helped to improve brain function, remove pains and aches, strengthen immunity, improve mood and make one fit and strong.
“Exercise is the next best natural remedy for curing lifestyle related diseases and as a wellness advocate, I am so happy to see the many calls to action. However, all the above benefits can be eroded almost immediately if one feasts on some bad food just after the exercise regime” he said.
He advised patrons of health walks to eat something healthy and small at home before stepping out to join such walks and also carry a bottle of water and return home for another healthy meal.
“This way, all the energy you burn can remain burnt; so that your exercise regime affects your life in a positive way” he said.
He advised organisers of such health walks to liaise with professionals to help in ensuring that their members eat well to ensure good outcomes and embrace good living.

Senior Lecturer at the University of Ghana’s Department of Political Science, Dr. Joshua Jebuntie Zaato says the imprisonment of the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, will have little meaning unless it leads to a broader crackdown on illegal mining.
In a post on his Facebook page on the July 21, 2026, Dr. Zaato said the judgment should mark the beginning of efforts to completely eradicate galamsey and hold all those involved accountable, regardless of their political affiliation.
He said the country must work towards restoring polluted rivers, protecting forests and ensuring that people implicated in illegal mining activities are prosecuted.
According to him, those the President has publicly acknowledged to be involved in galamsey should face prosecution.
He called for the prosecution of district chief executives (DCEs), members of Parliament (MPs) and senior political party officials who have been accused of engaging in or supporting illegal mining.
Dr. Zaato further urged the government to take decisive action to end the destruction of the country’s forests caused by galamsey.
He maintained that the imprisonment of Chairman Wontumi would only have a lasting impact if it results in a comprehensive and impartial fight against illegal mining across the country.
