”I don’t want history to repeat itself” – Uriel Oputa on her mother being the reason behind her health and wellness journey
Uriel Oputa is opening up about her decision to embrace a healthier, more mindful lifestyle.
In her post, she shared:
“Health is truly wealth for me. At my current age, my mother had suffered multiple strokes and was living with high blood pressure.
Seeing her journey pushed me to make significant changes because I wanted to break that cycle.
I didn’t want history to repeat itself. Now, my blood pressure hasn’t gone above 108 over 73, which is excellent. When I share posts about health, recipes, or wellness, it’s not just for me; it’s to educate and enlighten others on the importance of healthy living, exercise, holistic treatments, and regular health checks—things we often overlook here in Nigeria.”
Many of us avoid checking in on our health or exercising, but these are crucial steps to prevent going through what I’ve experienced while caring for someone with high blood pressure, stroke, and vascular dementia.
You might think, “I won’t get dementia” or “I
can’t have a heart attack or stroke.”
but it starts young.
The choices you make now will impact your future health. I receive many messages from people looking for advice. I’m not a doctor, and I emphasize that.
However, I can share what has worked for
me, the food I eat, and how I live my life. If these tips work for you, great!!!”
