'Not everything that fills our stomach is adequately nutritious' - Dietician

The Deputy Chief Dietician and Head of the Dietetic and Food services Unit at The Trust Hospital and Clinics, Wise Chukwudi Letsa has said that a lot of people eat too much food to fill their bellies without considering the nutritional value it presents which according to him is not good for healthy living.

Speaking as a panellist at the launch of Ghana’s innovative zinc fortified yoghurt "NutriDay " by FanMilk Ghana in Accra, Mr Letsa stressed that eating healthy has enormous benefits to the human body and that people should not only eat to fill their stomach but should be conscious of the nutritional benefits of what they eat contains.

''We must not only eat to fill our stomach, but we must also ensure that whatever we eat has the right amount of nutrients and vitamins that will ensure a good wellbeing”, he said.

He said that products such as NutriDay, which contains Zinc to support the immune system has been launched at a critical time when having a strong immune system has become essential.
