"The mission of the foundation is to improve the well-being of the less privileged and brings succour to them within and outside the domain" he said.

Giving a health talk on "Hypertension" a public health official from Ogun State Ministry of Health, Mr. Wale Adebamowo described hypertension as a silent killer which have affected many who were not aware due to lack of frequent checkups.

"When you visit the health centre, one of the first checkup is your blood pressure because many people are hypertensive but they do not know, the only way to know is checkup. This is because blood pressure triggers stroke and heart attack, so it is imperative to check your blood pressure always," he said.

Adebamowo attributed the causes of high blood pressure to genetic transmission, smoking, alcohol intake, processed foods, physical inactivity and high salt intake while the signs may be headache or lack of sleep.

"Hypertension is genetic if any of your parents is hypertensive ,there is possibility for such a person, also sitting at a spot without an exercise like walking," he said.

He outlined preventive measures as reduction of high saturated fat content, avoid cigarettes or tobacco smoking, boiling or cooking foods is preferable than frying, salt reduction, also adopt use of food spices such as crayfish, locust beans than seasonings.

"Avoid fried foods, cook your food as boiled foods are more healthier, artificial seasoning, use natural spices like iru, crayfish, shrimps, to enhance your soup's taste," he advised.

He further urged the residents of the community to take care of their health, embrace routine checkups to determine their blood pressure as early detection is cost effective than complications.

"Visit health facility, prevention is far better and cheaper than cure as the cost of drugs is cost effective for early detection and more costlier for complications," he declared.

Speaking on behalf of the beneficiaries, Mrs. Dorcas Abraham appreciated the organisation for their consistency in bringing reliefs to the less privileges and vulnerables, as she benefited from last year's initiatives.

She, however pledged to follow all the health's advice and use the free drugs effectively.

ITREALMS recalled a similar gesture by the foundation last year during its maiden in which food items and cash were given to the aged and widows in Abeokuta.

The presentation of free drugs to the people were conducted by Lagos, Ogun, Oyo coordinators and Mrs Funmi George, while other dignitaries at the events included Dr. Samuel Uduaga, Mr. Ogundipe Akinola, Mrs Odewusi Omotowo among others.

    Dobar dan, moj upit o tome kako dobiti kredit za kupnju kuće od nekretnina počeo je pozivom, nazvao sam Davidson Albert Company, danas sam jako sretan i Bog blagoslovio Davidsona Alberta Kontakt e-mail: {Davidsonalbertloan@gmail.com }

    Zovem se Marijana, iz HRVATSKE sam, zadnjih pet mjeseci sam tražila pravu kreditnu tvrtku od koje bih mogla dobiti kredit kako bih mogla kupiti kuću kakvu sam htjela. Dugoročno, bilo je hrpa prijevara zbog kojih sam im povjerovao i na kraju dana su mi uzeli novac bez da su mi dali išta zauzvrat, čak ni 1 euro na moje ime, izgubio sam svaku nadu, bio sam zbunjen i frustriran, nikad nisam želio imati ništa s online tvrtkama za zajam pa sam otišao posuditi novac od prijatelja. Ispričao sam sve što se dogodilo i rekla mi je da mi može pomoći pronaći tvrtku za zajmove koja mi može dati bilo koji iznos zajma koji mi treba i po vrlo niskoj kamatnoj stopi od 3%, također mi je rekla da je upravo dobila zajam od uputio me kako se prijaviti za zajam baš kao što mi je rekla, aplicirao sam s njima putem e-pošte: (davidsonalbertloan@gmail.com), nikad nisam vjerovao, ali sam pokušao, i na moje najveće iznenađenje dobio sam zajam u roku od 24 sati, nisam mogao vjerovati, ponovno sam sretan i bogat i hvala Bogu da takve kreditne kuće još postoje na ovim prevarama posvuda, savjetuju svima koji trebaju posuditi kredit putem e-maila (davidsonalbertloan@gmail.com). Nikada te neće iznevjeriti i tvoj život će se promijeniti kao i moj. Brzo kontaktirajte (davidsonalbertloan@gmail.com) danas i uzmite svoj zajam od njih. Obavezno kontaktirajte DAVIDSON ALBERT LOAN COMPANY za vaš kredit, jer sam uspješno dobio svoj kredit od ove tvrtke bez ikakvog stresa. Posjetite njihovu e-poštu. (davidsonalbertloan@gmail.com)
