    "content": "People have the privilege of having a few meals here in Parliament. You can do breakfast, 10.00 a.m. tea, lunch and also 4.00 p.m. tea, but the biggest and worst enemy of diabetes and high blood pressure is the food that we eat. Allow me to warn Members of Parliament that the food that we are predisposed to here in Parliament can be a big source of diabetes. If you take tea, several mandazis and maize and you also take sweet potatoes, my friend, know very well that you are predisposed to diabetes. Just eat a little bit at a time per day. When we eat all the time, that could expose us to diabetes. It is important that we reduce on salt intake. We also need to generally do exercises. I know Members of Parliament have opportunities to do exercises in the gym but we need to advise our constituents also that as much as they may not access gyms to do exercise, it is important for them to have a life where they are able to sweat each and every day. That for any work that one does, one must sweat. The sweating makes us avoid high blood pressure and even diabetes. It is important I support that we develop management and screening systems at places of work. The same should apply to those who are not in places of work. We should take that down to the community level."
