Recently the Ghanaian Times published that 24,009 new cases of cancer occur annually in Ghana. Out of the number, 15,802 people lose their lives, most of them victims of breast, liver, cervix and prostate cancers.

What is the way forward?

A recent  scientific paper  by Papadopetraki et al.(2022)demonstrate that physical exercise lowers cancer risk by 40%. Imagine a pharmaceutical drug that would reduce cancer risk by 40%? That would instantaneously be a trillion-dollar drug. Can you believe that? Just one behavioral change can lower cancer risk by a whopping 40%.  The same scientific paper found that physical exercise can be a therapeutic agent for those battling with cancer.

Practical Suggestions

Just get moving if being sedentary is your baseline. Everyone has a period where they become less physically active. That’s not a big deal, but get moving today. Brisk walking at least three hours a week (no less) on pavement or a treadmill works. Brisk walking is defined as walking 3.0 to 4.0 miles per hour (mph) – somewhere between a regular walk and a jog.The heart rate increases and sweat happen after about five to ten minutes.Do this 30 minutes six times a week according to Dr. Geo Espinoza.

Class Media exercise programme

If you’re in a little better shape and want to increase your workout load sensibly, go for up to six hours a week. After six hours a week of moderate to high-intensity exercising, there may be less return from that effort, so there is no need to do more than six hours a week.For prostate cancer patients or those trying to reduce their risk, one type of more intense exercise to do three times a week is High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT).

Kang et al.(2021) study found that such an exercise routine may slow down or reverse prostate cancer.HIIT would consist of five minutes of warm-up on a treadmill, followed by two minutes of a moderate walk, say 3.0 to 3.5 mph, then a run, somewhere between jog to the fastest you can run for 2-minutes, then back to a brisk walk for 2-minutes. Alternate the 2-minute walk and 2-minute run five to eight times. Do this HIIT routine 3 times a day.

Weight resistance or strength training?

Zaccardi et al. (2021) study also found that everyone benefits from strength training for longevity; the stronger one is physical, the longer one lives. Weight resistance training is essential for all; for men on ADT(Androgen Deprivation Therapy), it is imperative as they need to conserve muscle, keep strong bones and prevent metabolic syndrome – a condition common when testosterone is depleted in the body.On what to use for weight resistance exercises, Dr. Geo Espinoza, a renowned Naturopathic Urologist recommend:

  • Bodyweight exercises like push-ups, weights like barbells and kettlebells, and resistant bands work great.He further asserts:do six to twelve repetitions maximum, not more. He explained; this method allows you to keep muscle, stay physically strong and keep body fat down during ADT.He advised against doing no more than 12 repetitions to avoid injuries.

Lastly, if you enjoy any sports activity like tennis or golf, keep at it; just add the recommendations above to your athletic training. Remember, after a prostate cancer diagnosis, Kenfield et al.(2011) study found that men have a  61% lower risk of mortality from the disease. A  similar study by  Richman et al.(2011) also found that prostate cancer patients have  a 57% reduction of recurrence when exercising three hours a week or more.

A strong comparable research by Moore et al.(2016) proved  that a solid prescription of physical activity can drastically lower your risk of 13 different types of cancers! The study, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, looked at information from 1.4 million people ages 19 to 98 collected over the course of about 11 years. Researchers from the National Institutes of Health, Harvard University and other leading global research organizations gleaned data on people’s exercise during leisure time (things like brisk walking, swimming and running) and at what intensity. Exercise appeared to be most protective against esophageal cancer (42 percent lower risk), followed by liver cancer (27 percent lower risk) and lung cancer (26 percent lower risk).

Another article by  Leah Zerbe(2016)  also found that those who exercised the most enjoyed a 23 percent lower risk of kidney cancer, a 22 lower risk of gastric cardia (a type of stomach cancer), a 21 percent lower risk of endometrial cancers, a 20 percent lower risk of myeloid leukemia, a 17 percent lower risk of myeloma, a 16 percent lower risk of colon cancer, a 15 percent lower risk head and neck cancer, a 13 percent lower risk of both rectal and bladder cancers and a 10 percent reduced risk of breast cancer. (The study did find exercise slightly increased the risk of melanoma and a type of slow-growing prostate cancer.)

The rising cases of cancers and moratlity rate is a public health concern. We need to get moving together. We cant fight with sedentary lifestyle. The Moore large study that  examined more than 1.4 million people and how exercise impacted their risk of different cancers found that those who exercised the most enjoyed a reduced risk of 13 different cancers, including common cancers like breast, lung and colon cancers, compared to those who lived sedentary lifestyles.  Use this as daily inspiration to become more active and your body will thank you.

Men need the treadmill to cut prostate cancer risk by 40%

These huge studies, should inspire doctors to prescribe exercise for the powerful medicine it is — and serve as inspiration for us to all get moving more throughout our days. The point is you don’t need to spend hours a day exercising. One study found people who exercised at a moderate intensity for even shorter bouts of time enjoyed cancer prevention benefits. Because long sessions of cardio weren’t necessary to produce the cancer-protective benefits found in this study

Wimbledon announces record prize money for next month’s grand slam

Wimbledon

Wimbledon this year may be deprived of ranking points, but the players will be taking home more money than ever before.

The All England Club announced on Thursday that first round singles losers will earn £50,000 and the champions £2million each as part of a record overall prize pot of £40.35m. That represents an 11.1 per cent increase on last year, which was still affected by the pandemic.

t is a 5.4 per cent increase on 2019, the last year that The Championships was held before full capacity crowds.

There has certainly not been any reduction to take into account that this year’s tournament has been stripped of ranking status. That was the sanction placed by the ATP and WTA Tours for Wimbledon banning players from Russia and Belarus.

The size of the purse will ensure that other no-shows will be small to non-existent, despite this year’s edition not counting towards their rankings, unless there is an unexpected U-turn from the tours.

The biggest rise will go to those playing in the qualifying event, a whopping 26 per cent up on last year, which will persuade the rank-and-file to travel to London and try their luck.

Even the most humble qualifier who loses in the first round of the preliminaries will get £11,000.

Paris police chief Didier Lallement

Paris police chief Didier Lallement has admitted that the handling of the Champions League final was a “failure”.

The event marred by chaos around the stadium, with security forces even using tear gas.

The event, which pitted Real Madrid against Liverpool on May 28, “was clearly a failure”, in the words of Lallement. He then apologised to the Spanish and British fans who had made the trip to the French capital for the moments of turmoil, which occurred shortly before the start of the match.

He regretted that people were “pushed and assaulted” and that France’s image had been damaged, although he also defended some of the more controversial practices such as the use of tear gas, during an appearance in the senate in which he gave explanations for the incident.

The police chief expressed his regret that these gases affected people “in good faith, especially families”, but at the same time he assured that it was the only way to reduce the pressure on the entrances to the Stade de France.

He said it seemed “the only way” to push back the crowd without a direct charge.

Ecuador are reportedly to have fielded defender Byron Castillo who is actually Colombian

Ecuador are reportedly set to be expelled from this year’s World Cup over claims their defender Byron Castillo falsified his birth documents and is actually Colombian – which means he would have been ineligible for their qualifying campaign.

The country’s FA had been investigated by FIFA over the allegations raised by Chile, who finished seventh in South American qualifying and missed out on a place at the Qatar tournament, while Ecuador finished in fourth place.

Chile claimed they had proof that Castillo was born in Tumaco, Colombia in 1995, and not in the Ecuadorean city of General Villamil Playas in 1998 as stated on his official documents. It claimed the Barcelona of Guayaquil full back used a false passport and birth certificate. A new report from Mundo Deportivo claims FIFA has already made its decision to kick Ecuador out after concluding its probe into the allegations and an announcement will be made in the next few days.

The report also claims there is a faint hope from Italy that they might be able to take advantage of Ecuador’s potential expulsion and be included in the World Cup despite being dumped out by North Macedonia in the play-offs.

That might be possible if FIFA award Ecuador’s place to the team with the best position in their World Rankings instead.  Ecuador have been drawn in Group A for the World Cup alongside hosts Qatar, Senegal and the Netherlands.

Barcelona players

Eduard Romeu, Barcelona‘s economic vice president, says the Catalan giants need €500million (£428m) to be saved from financial turmoil.

Romeu says the issues at Barcelona started due to a ‘patrimonial imbalance’ and that they could have registered €150m (£128m) more in losses if they ‘did nothing’.

He also claims the financial difficulties are ‘heredity’ after years of financial mismanagement under their former president Josep Bartomeu and his predecessors. The LaLiga giants have been in a financial crisis for some time, with Laporta announcing a £1.15billion debt in 2021.

The economic woes led to the departure of talisman Lionel Messi as Barcelona were unable to hang on to their club captain and iconic No 10.

The coronavirus pandemic, which forced Barcelona’s matches to be played behind closed doors for 18 months, also played a role in the economic downfall of the club.

When asked to define the current economic situation of the club, Romeu said it was still ‘critical’ and that they needed €500m reach an equilibrium.

When asked about how much money it would take to pull Barcelona out of the financial hole they are in, Romeu said €500m.

The economics expert said: ‘The number that does the most damage is that of the patrimonial imbalance. Negative funds of €500m. Some €150m losses could be added to this course if we did nothing.

Dr Patrick Kuma Aboagye- Director General, Ghana Health Service

The Director General of Ghana Health Service (GHS), Dr Patrick Kuma-Aboagye has warned of the rapid upsurge in Coronavirus (Covid-19) cases in the Greater Accra region, with children and schools being those at risk.

According to him, 18.1% of the 400 new active cases recorded in the last few weeks are children between the ages of 0-15 years, with the youngest affected a six month old baby.

He continued that schools and work places are the two places where the new cases are prevalent.

He also noted that two other regions, Eastern and Western, have also recorded some new cases but the chunk of them are in Accra.

The GHS Director made this known to media men at a press conference organised by the Ministry of Information in Accra yesterday.

Giving some statistics on the rate of upsurge, Dr Kuma-Aboagye noted that in January, the country recorded 4,488 new confirmed cases, with an average of 149.6 a day, while 2,523 cases with an average of 84 cases a day was recorded in February.

In March and April, the number of new confirmed cases reduced to 152 and 39 with a daily average of 5 and 1.3.

Dr Aboagye noted that the decrease did not last as more cases were recorded in May and June. “In the last two months, the country recorded 399 and 267 new confirmed cases with a daily average of 13.3 and 44”, the GHS Director said.

Dr Kuma-Aboagye noted that one of the leading factors in these new confirmed cases is the increase in respiratory tract infections due to the rains. He again said that an increase in Influenza infections picked from existing influenza and other respiratory virus sentinel site is another factor that increased the rate of Covid-19 in the country.

On why schools and work places are at risk, Dr Kuma-Aboagye said, “there has been an increase in school and workplace related settings due to poor compliance to safety protocols, especially the wearing of masks”.

He continued that the poor observance of the protocols at large gatherings and events such as conferences, funerals and parties is also a contributory factor.

He also hinted that the low booster vaccination intake is also another thing that Ghanaians should note and act on it.

On measures to curtail the situation before it escalates to other regions, the Director General said his outfit has enhanced surveillance activities across all districts in the region, especially in schools and workplaces and has also reactivated the Covid-19 management teams and treatment facilities.

Again, Dr Kuma-Aboagye said rapid Covid -19 testing in public health facilities for early detection and case management as well as public education on adherence to covid-19 protocols would commence.

20 million vaccination target not achieved

Speaking specifically on vaccination, Dr Kuma-Aboagye stated that the country has not been able to achieve the 20 million targets it set as the number of people to be vaccinated by the end of June 2022. He noted that so far 15.8 million people have been vaccinated, leaving some 4.2 million people yet to be vaccinated.

According to him, one region with the lowest number of vaccinated people is the Volta region and called on Members of Parliament to advise their constituents to get themselves vaccinated.

Emergence of Monkeypox

The GHS Director also used yesterday’s briefing to announce the recording of Monkeypox disease in the country.

According to him, there are five confirmed cases out of the twelve suspected cases recorded in the country so far.

He noted that the Greater Accra, Western and Eastern regions are the places where these cases were confirmed and advised people to tread cautiously.

He intimated there is no treatment for the disease as of now so people should protect themselves from getting infected by avoiding skin to skin contact with infected person.

Influenza A (H3)

Dr Kuma-Aboagye also hinted on the outbreak of influenza A(H3) in the country. He said 3,460 samples have been tested and 773 positive cases were confirmed. He said cases have been confirmed in all regions except Upper East, Upper West and North East Regions.

Gov’t committed to adding value to raw materials; Prez

President Akufo-Addo unveiling the plaque
The newly commissioned infant cereal manufacturing plant

The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has said that government was taking deliberate steps and efforts to refocus the investment priorities of the country, adding that it was also taking action to mobilise the resources necessary for the growth of those priority sectors.

“This is because we are determined to transform Ghana, from a mere producer and exporter of raw material, to a value added industralised economy, which can provide opportunity, jobs and prosperity for all, especially the youth of the country,” he said.

President Akufo-Addo was speaking yesterday at a ceremony to commission an infant cereal manufacturing plant at the Tema Industrial Area, built by Nestlé Ghana.

At the cost of GH¢175 million, the 6,900 metric tonnes capacity plant, the President said, would create some 800 direct jobs. The plant would also expand the production capacity of the company.

That the product from this plant would serve 22 markets of countries in Central and West Africa, was a timely investment.

He said the successes chalked by Nestlé Ghana should motivate other private sector industries in the country to aspire to the height of developing global brands.

PARTNERSHIP

The President reiterated that the combined effects of the COVID-19 and the Russian invasion of Ukraine had negatively impacted the country’s economy.

Meanwhile, he believed that the challenges from the crisis were a clear indication the country must see to the expansion of the production capacity of the manufacturing sector to add value to economic endowment.

He was confident that the private sector, together with the government, would rise up to the occasion with innovative ideas to help the economy rebound strongly.

LACK OF ACCESS

President Akufo-Addo said one of the challenges to the industralisation drive was the lack of access to the expanded markets, and thus urged the private sector in Ghana to take full advantage of the benefits of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

ICON IN GHANA

Minister for Trade and Industry, Alan Kyerematen said that over 60 years, Nestlé has become an icon in Ghana’s manufacturing sector, citing the commissioning of the new plant is a further demonstration of the company’s commitment towards the socioeconomic development of Ghana.

The Ministry of Trade and Industry, according to the sector minister, recognizes the importance of attracting private sector operators to invest in the productive sectors of the Ghanaian economy.

He asserted that the new cereals manufacturing plant will go a long way to boost the government’s strategic efforts aimed at import substitution, especially in sectors where there is local capacity for value addition.

In his welcome address, the Managing Director (MD) of Nestlé Ghana, Georgios Badaro, outlined the growth of the company since it emerged in 1957.

He commended Ghanaians for shown love to the company, the reason they are still afloat, and are able to expand their expansion. He said the company has over 1,000 employees.

He shared that almost 90% of their products in Ghana are fortified with micro-nutrients, aimed at addressing some of the nutrition challenges.

The company last year, made a capital investment of GH¢175.4 million to invest in the increase of capacity of Cerelac by 6,700 tonnes per year, the MD said, adding that 98% of staff are Ghanaians.

He announced the additional investment of GH¢53million was in the offing, stating that the new factory symbolizes the confidence Nestlé has in the bright future of Ghana.

Ghana is Economic Center

The Chief Executive Officer of Nestlé Central and West Africa, Mauricio Alarcon said a business that looks and invests beyond current generation is a business for the future.

According to him, Ghana is a key economic center for Africa, hence, their commitment to continue to expand their production in Ghana for the benefit of the whole Central and West Africa.

Nestlé, he said, is committed to help building thriving communities and improving livelihoods by unlocking the power of food.

Over 150,000 farmers in Ghana and across the Central, West Africa have benefitted from capacity building and economic empowerment on Nestlé products.

‘TVET is our solution to unemployment’

Mr. Samuel Osei Sarkodie, NPP Constituency Youth Organizer for New Juaben North

The New Juaben North Constituency Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. Samuel Osei Sarkodie, has called on Ghanaians, particularly students in the country, to wholeheartedly embrace Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET).

According to the Youth Organiser, affectionately known in the political community as SOS, entrepreneurship in any society was a sign of progress, hence, the need to prioritise TVET in Ghana. He was of the conviction that TVET is the only solution to the overwhelming unemployment and balance of trade deficit issues in the country.

He made the call at the Koforidua Technical School yesterday, where he delivered a paper on the topic “Radiating the Impact of TVET to the Next Generation”. Mr. Sarkodie continued that entrepreneurship had an impact on society, as well as cultural and the economic progress of our society.

The Youth Organiser charged the students to use the knowledge and skills acquired through TVET into setting up businesses in order to help in the growth and development of the nation. He advised TVET students to always look out for a problem in society and think about how they could use their technical and vocational skills to help solve it.

“In groups you can think about what you can come up with that will be appreciated and accepted by the society as an easy way of doing something,” he said.

He urged them to voluntarily embark on internships at places related to their fields of studies and interests, as it would help them know more about what they were doing and try to start something on their own, or with friends, as they furthered their education.

“Don’t let the success of your business or innovation discourage you from climbing the academic ladder,” he said.

According to him, the nation needed professional technical men and women to help with industrialisation, “and TVET students were our best bet for it, hence, you are not at the wrong place, be proud of where you are currently, because you are the hope and glory of this country.”

“Again, the country needs technical and vocational entrepreneurs who will set up businesses in the country and employ people, and the technical and vocational training you will get here will make you do so for us. As TVET professionals, rely on prominent personalities in the society and address them as your patrons and seek funding from them.

“In my capacity as the Constituency Youth Organiser, I will help link individuals and groups who are TVET professionals, especially from this school, to people who can finance and do business with them, so that they can harness the potential in them. Students from this school, who need professional knowledge on how to manage their funds and businesses, can see me for free consultation and guidance. This is part of my contributions to lift TVET high in this country,” he pledged the students.

TVET is a form of education and training, which provides knowledge and skills in occupations in various sectors of the economy and social life. This is seen as the prevailing aspect of education across the globe and many countries are embracing it.

The government introduced TVET so that people can be well equipped with practical skills to set up their own business, which will bring solutions to our societal problems and make work easier. This program will equip students to meet the international standards for employment.

The primary purpose is to equip people with the Technical and Professional skills needed for socioeconomic and industrial development of the country. TVET is also aimed at training people for self-employment so that the overwhelming unemployment rate will be reduced.

To train people to be able to produce most of the items we import so that our balance of trade deficit could be improved which will help strengthen the local currency, cedi.

Mahama, Kufuor to plant trees on Green Ghana Day

John Kofi Agyekum Kufuor and John Dramani Mahama

The Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Samuel A. Jinapor has appealed to Ghanaians to see the Green Ghana Project, which comes on tomorrow as a national issue that must be divorced from politics.

He has, therefore, commended Ex-President John Dramani Mahama for accepting to join the tree planting exercise tomorrow.

“We have a serious crises on our hands and we must come together to make this work. The point where we are required that we stop global warming or else within a short time we will soon live in an unsustainable globe and this will impact negatively on our agriculture and everything that the weather affects.”

The Minister was speaking on Asaase Radio on Wednesday, this week, to promote the Green Ghana and other matters regarding the planting exercise and how it affects the environment.

The Minister explained a two-pronged approach that has been adopted by the government to achieve this agenda, while encouraging all and sundry to focus more on the growth of the plant and not just the plating.

“The biggest scheme does not have to do with the planting itself, but the survival rate and so we should not only plant, that we also have to focus on the nurturing and growth of the trees we plant.”

He continued that with a good number of lessons learnt from last year’s exercise, better strategies have been put in place to achieve the ambitious target of 20 million tree seedlings.

The sector minister said all 20 million seedlings are ready to be planted, while disclosing some of the pick up points for the seedlings and gave out contacts people can call to know where to go for their seedlings.

“You can pick up your seedlings from the various offices of the Forestry Commission, District Assemblies, Malls and on the streets, and the numbers to call are 0244643780, 0249227796 and 0208290797.

He also mentioned some of the seedlings available for planting, saying we have coconut, mango, avocado/pear, tangerine, orange and ornamental plants, just to mention a few.”

He revealed that the President will start the tree planting at the Efua Sutherland Children’s Park and others will follow, naming Vice President Dr Bawumia, Ex-president Kufuor, Ex-President John Mahama, The Clergy, Traditional leaders and the Chief Imam among other key personalities.

The Minister further stated that as the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, he will be planting with the British High Commission and British citizens at the Achimota Forest and by this, he reiterated that “we are fully, fully committed to protecting the Achimota Forest.

“The thing about Achimota forest is that we have invested so much in the forest and we can’t afford to lose all that and, therefore, we are willing to restore all that with your help,” he added.

“And then there is a second strategy which is engaging in aggressive afforestation/reforestation which is what has brought about Green Ghana Day, which we targeted last year to plant 5 million seedlings we ended up planting 7 million seedlings.

“The report I have is that 80% of those seedlings we planted have survived and we are hopeful to get better results this year.”

Editorial: Is Tyron Marghuy not a danger to Achimota students?

Myjoyonline.com reported yesterday that one of the Rastafarian students, who was initially denied enrollment into Achimota School because of his dreadlocks, Tyron Marghuy, has allegedly stabbed his father in the hand. This was reported by the father, who indicated that this was not the first time Tyron has done this to him.

Rooting the story in a video published on social media by the father of Tyron, Mr. Tereo Marghuy, the website quoted the latter as saying, “this is what Tyron has done to my hand; he spoilt his sister’s tablet and they were supposed to take it to the repairer this morning, the sister came to tell me they were taking the laptop to the repairer…, I went to see them in the room and she said Tyron is not ready.

“Long story short, they had an argument, and so I went back there to ask him why, and he just unplugged the laptop and walked over me. And he’s been doing this all these years, and which his mother tolerates. She even asked me one time why I don’t want anybody to have peace in this house. When my son does something wrong and I’m telling him, she is giving me bull….t,”

Citi FM also reported during its 12 ‘O’clock news bulletin that Tyron Marghuy had refused to publicly comment on the incident, except to say that he acted in self-defence. Though the alleged stabbing incident can best be described as a domestic matter, it has huge public ramifications, and that is the worry of The Chronicle.

When Achimota School refused to enrol him because of his dreadlocks, there was a hue and cry in this country, especially from human rights activists. In the end, a High Court in Accra ruled that Achimota School cannot reject him because of his dreadlocks, so long as he qualified for admission into the great academic institution. Achimota School does not joke with discipline, and since the wearing of dreadlocks by a juvenile is seen in our culture as an act of indiscipline, the authorities were unwilling to admit him, but, as we have just indicated, the hand of the school was forced by the law to renege on its position.

The big question then is: if Tyron can muster the courage to allegedly stab his father who brought him into this world without blinking an eye, what will happen should his colleague student provoke him whilst on campus?  Unless the alleged stabbing story, as told by Tereo Marghuy, is a lie, The Chronicle sees Tyron as posing a serious danger to other students on Achimota School campus.

Without being accused of trampling upon the fundamental human rights of the boy, we think it will be in the public interest if Tyron is immediately de-boardinised. If he is already a day student, his movement on campus must be keenly monitored.

COP Bio Atenga once asked the human rights groups in the country to sit in the bucket of their vehicle when they are fighting armed robbers and be “shouting human rights, human rights.” Those were the days when the Greater Accra Regional Police Command was fighting and killing armed robbers who had taken the lives of their victims.

Obviously, when Tereo Marghuy was fighting for his son, because his rights were been abused by Achimota School, he did not know that his own son will one day disrespect his rights as a human being, by stabbing him. Tyron’s case is not an isolated one because ‘spoiled’ children can be found in some homes in Ghana.

Stabbing your own father is a serious case, which he can easily replicate everywhere and that is why we are concerned about his movement on campus. The Chronicle is not calling for his dismissal – all what we demand is that his movement must be monitored on campus.
