Ghanaians have been urged to reduce meat consumption to at least once a week for their well-being and to prevent Non-Communicable Diseases (NDCs).
The Executive Director of Communication Initiative for Change, Mr Emmanuel Fiagbey, said the practice would help in reducing the prevalence of heart diseases, diabetes, strokes, kidney diseases, obesity, chronic illness, and certain cancers.
He made the call during a community education for women groups, community leaders, and chiefs at Nima on the 'Meatless Monday' campaign with support from the Center for Communication Programmes and the Center for Livable Future of Johns Hopkins University.
The campaign is a health initiative aimed at enabling Ghanaians to adopt the practice of not consuming meat at least one day a week for their well-being and called on Ghanaians to embrace the "Meatless Monday" campaign.
