    "content": "not eat. Those who are free from diabetes, apart from just adopting exercises, we should rethink our lifestyles, what we eat and consume. Living in Nairobi, I have found myself being tempted. I live on Mombasa Road. There is a KFC at Total and when driving back to the house, it is easier for me to go in and pick a few chicken drumsticks. Being a Luhya, I like chicken. We keep consuming all these deep-fried foods and nyama choma . Our lifestyles have to change. As leaders, we must be at the forefront even when we have gatherings at home and at our functions to try and teach our people how to take good care of themselves. Back at home in the villages, I do not foresee much of a problem like in the cities. Life in the city is very fast and busy. In the city, we do not have gardens like the people at home. At home, there is a garden. People grow potatoes, cassava, yams and vegetables of their own. It is easier to adopt a healthier eating style in the village than in the city. Parents have to play a big role in taking care of our homes - both men and women. I do not want to think that I am excluded but I can do better. We must think of going back to the kitchen to cook. Majority of parents do not want to cook. They want easy food so it is easy to pick up food in fast food chains and bring it home. That is why our kids have more weight on them than they should. Exercising is a discipline because you can do it today but find out that you are not able to do it tomorrow. Apart from exercising, we should mostly think about changing our lifestyle. We should also take education and awareness to the grassroots. As leaders, we spend so much time on politics. When we go to a funeral at home, we talk politics but forget the real essence of life. As leaders, we must be there helping our people to live right and eat right. At every funeral and at every gathering we must have things we can communicate to our people or electorate."
