“Our target is one and simple: Success. A large chunk of it lies with you. You must carry that in your hearts and minds as we march to making this unique brand a household philosophy. Living right does not cost a fortune. It is all about simple and deliberate habits that define one’s approach to a healthy life. It begins with what you eat and how you take care of your body. I prefer to use the slogan: “You are what you eat.
“The bottom line is that if you do not understand what goes into your mouth, your body will not. Healthy living is a very conscious practice. To live healthy is to live happy. Therefore, our central focus is to guide the students on the routines for healthy and happy life.
“We want to build an army of healthy living enthusiasts. Every student in Anambra State must be fully involved in this movement.”
