While we continue to mourn the two sports gurus, we have to learn some facts and lessons about them.
1. Repent before its too late
Death does not know if you are young or old. It does not care whether you are rich or poor. It can come without signs or warnings just like the case of Stephen Keshi and Amodu Shuaibu. Amodu after signing Keshi's condolence register never knew he(Amodu) would be the next in line.We should all be ready and prepared for death always. Quit sins and embrace righteousness,for its the only way to get saved after all this long run.
2. Go for regular medical check ups, especially, for blood pressure
Have your blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose levels checked regularly. High/low blood pressure is a silent killer. You may have it and still feel like you are healthy until it finishes and ends your life and career. It is estimated that 1 out of 5 people with high blood pressure are not aware that they have this major risk factor for stroke and heart attack/cardiac arrest which killed Stephen Keshi. High blood pressure can blow your kidney, destroy your heart, damage your eye, brain and every organ in your body. Regular medical check up is necessary to know your health status and control measures to take to maintain good health. You must not wait until you are about to die before you remember hospital.
3. check your Body Mass Index (BMI) regularly
Body mass index (BMI) is the measure of the amount of tissue mass(muscle,fat, and bone) in an individual, and its based on height and weight mostly in adults. it is used to determine weather one is under weight, normal weight,overweight and obbessed..
one can calculate his or her BMI by himself/herself....it is simply
4. Eat Healthily
Increase your intake of lean protein, fiber, fruits and vegetables while reducing or avoiding the consumption of alcohol, processed foods, foods rich in salt, sugar and fats. Coronary arteries that supply the heart with blood can slowly become thicker and harder from a buildup of fat, cholesterol and other substances, called plaque. This slow process is known as atherosclerosis. If the plaque breaks open and a blood clot forms that blocks the blood flow, a heart attack occurs.
4. Achieve the much you can when possible.
5. Enjoy life to the fullest everyday you see yourself alive
Life is too short for one to spend it in worry, anger, sadness, jealousy, envy, wickedness, quarrels and many other negative mental attitudes. When awake in the morning, thank God for life and be happy. Enjoy every second of your life. Don't wait for a better day. See every day as a good day no matter the challenges you face. Some people rumoured that Stephen Keshi was worrying too much about his wife's death. Worrying about what you can't change will forever be the biggest waste of your time. Be cheerful always and try to make people around you happy. Party, merry, dance, laugh, play and have good fun. That is your right.
