In most parts of the world, Sunday is recognised as Mother’s Day. A time to honour the women who nurture and hold families together. But it also marks Global Move for Health Day, a powerful reminder that caring for ourselves is just as important. Whether it’s walking, cycling, running, jumping, or simply choosing to stay active, every bit of movement counts. It doesn’t matter if you’re taking baby steps or bold leaps what matters is that you keep moving. Today, we’re in conversation with General Surgeon, Dr Akpabio, as we unpack the growing burden of lifestyle-related diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular conditions. These are increasingly being linked to complex abdominal illnesses, affecting more and more people across all age groups. We’ll also explore how maintaining an active lifestyle can play a critical role in reducing the risk of these conditions and why movement might just be one of the most powerful forms of prevention we have.
