Dr Akwasi Asiamah Amponsah, Medical Director of Parkway Medical Group Neighbourhood Healthcare, a United States (US) health-based organization dedicated to preventable healthcare, has advised Ghanaians to reduce their intake of foods that contained too much cholesterol.
He said a research conducted by his group in Africa established that most deaths recorded in recent times were cardiac-related, a situation caused by excess fatty foods and the lack of regular physical exercises.
Diabetes and hypertension, usually associated with obesity, he said, were claiming more lives and warned, if allowed unchecked it could deprive the nation of its productive workforce.
Dr Amponsah was speaking to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in Kumasi on the sidelines of a �homecoming meeting� with students of the Prempeh College. An old student and a member of the �1977 Year Group�, he said, was in the country to liaise with his colleagues to raise funds to assist improve, the school�s infrastructure.
