Two-day seminar boosts Leyte East brethren’s awareness on common health issues

All in all, six houses of worship were designated as sites for the activity, namely, that of the local congregations of Tacloban City, Abuyog, Alang-Alang, Maasin, Sogod, and Saint Bernard.

From the host site—the house of worship of the Local Congregation of Tacloban City—Erwin Torres, a physician, shared important information about proper diet, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases on the first day. On the second day of the seminar, he shared tips on how to manage, if not prevent, the onset of such illnesses. He emphasized the importance of choosing correctly what supplements to take, besides having regular exercise.

Josefina Mataro from the Local Congregation of Tacloban City said, “I find this seminar very informative as I’ve learned that there are habits and health practices that we should stop for these might make us sick sooner or later, especially that I’ve been having maintenance medication, which is why staying healthy is crucial for me.” — With reports from INC News Section
