Try some exercise

THE EDITOR: I do wish we had a Carnival celebration in Trinidad and Tobago every three months. Why you might ask? Well, in preparation for Carnival the old, not so old and the young at heart exercise. The point I am making is that people should exercise continuously in order to prevent the onset of hypertension, diabetes, heart problems and stroke, yes people, stroke.

It seems to me that more and more people in TT are being afflicted with stroke. I am calling on the rich and the poor to find time to walk, in your yard, on the pavement, in front of your home, anywhere. Just walk. Leave the elevators and use the steps. Being unable to walk or use a limb is not easy at all. Editor, Sir, I hope you publish this bit of advice in a manner that will attract your readers, you and your staff. Eating the right food is not all. Just do a bit of exercise. “Try it nuh.”
