comment

Do not eat pepper soup, fried food, foods with too much oil, meat, beans, suya, zobo, or too much milk.
Do not take drinks that have too much sugar like Fanta or Coke.
Always wash your hands before eating — especially if you work with cement or make people's hair.
You might say, 'It is not that serious if I do not wash my hands' — but it is good health that makes you enjoy good food, right?
It may feel stressful to practice all these, but just start small — it will soon feel normal with time.
