Brotherhood Church Leader Warns Ghanaians About Harmful Chemicals in Food, Urges Regular Exercise
The General Secretary of the Brotherhood Church, James Yaw Ahenkorah, has cautioned Ghanaians to avoid practices that can shorten their lifespan. In an interview, he emphasized the need for Agric Officers to educate farmers and the general public about the risks associated with excessive chemical use in food production.
Pastor Ahenkorah shared a personal experience where a tomato farmer used chemicals to ripen unripe tomatoes, highlighting the harmful effects of such practices on human health. He also lamented the loss of natural aromas in food due to chemical use, citing the example of “Pona” yam.
During the Church’s 50th-anniversary celebration at the Kumasi-Suntresu headquarters, Pastor Ahenkorah advised Ghanaians to engage in regular exercise to strengthen their bodies and improve blood circulation, enabling them to fight minor illnesses. He suggested simple exercises like walking, stretching, and daily physical activity, especially for those who cannot afford gym memberships.
Pastor Ahenkorah emphasized the importance of exercise in combating diseases, particularly in an era where water bodies are polluted, air quality is compromised, and climate change is prevalent. He urged Ghanaians to take responsibility for their health and well-being.
