As the Christmas and new year celebrations draw near, the health department is sharing tips to maintain good health.
Dr. Dino Tuazon, the Municipal Health Officer of Hingyon town, said in a radio interview, that in occasions like this when plenty of foods and drinks will be served, "take anything in moderation."
Tuazon said people sometimes forget the negative effect of eating too much fatty foods and taking in too much alcohol, but he reiterated that the public should always put their health first in order to save on money and avoid spending Christmas or new year at the hospital.
He said that among the leading causes of death in the province nowadays are hypertension and stroke which are often attributed to unhealthy lifestyle such as eating too much fatty, salty foods, no exercise and drinking too much alcohol.
He also advised that with the cold weather, the public should always wear protective clothings so that they will not easily get sick. The cold weather has also something to do with diseases such as stroke, he further said.
