As temperatures continue to rise across parts of the country, residents of Adamawa have been urged to increase their intake of fresh fruits to stay healthy during the hot season.
A Nutritionist, Fatima Isa, gave the advice in an interview with Radio Nigeria in Yola.
Fatima Isa explained that consuming fresh fruits helps improve body appearance and supports overall well-being, especially among the elderly.
She identified fruits such as watermelon, oranges, and pineapple as essential during this period, noting that they help prevent heat-related illnesses and keep the body hydrated.
The nutritionist also encouraged people to stay in cool environments, drink plenty of water, and seek medical attention if they experience symptoms such as dizziness or body weakness.
Some residents of Yola, including Sabiu Aliyu and Fadimatu Aminu, shared their experiences, saying they enjoy eating fruits like watermelon, oranges, and pineapple, which help them cope with the heat.
Also speaking, other residents, Mama Arifa and Rasheeda Aminu, noted that fruits consumption aids digestion, reduces the risk of dehydration, and helps them maintain energy levels throughout the day.
Residents are therefore encouraged to make fresh fruits a regular part of their daily diet to stay healthy, hydrated, and better cope with the effects of the hot weather.
