 The panel, the discussion, an objective and impartial view of the issues of interest to you. Nation Beat is on now. And welcome to the press launch or press re-launch of the Solution Moves campaign. Those of you may remember Solution Moves was launched last year in October, September 2022. Just to give a brief intro, chronic non-communicable diseases or NCDs such as cancer, diabetes, hypertension and heart disease have been the leading cause of death in St. Lucia for a decade with significant socioeconomic consequences on individuals and the nation. In response to the devastation posed by these diseases and their major risk factors such as smoking, physical inactivity and unhealthy diets, Caribbean governments committed to the Port of Spain declaration in 2007. This declaration was made to ensure the future implementation of policies and programs which would reverse the impact of NCDs and their risk factors. In September 2022, Caribbean Moves along with its Solution component was launched and has since then encouraged, participated and hosted healthy lifestyle events. The plan for Solution Moves is to continue throughout 2023 and we are here today to introduce to you some of the ways we plan to do so. I am your host for today, St. Justin from the Communications Unit of the Ministry of Health, Wellness and LLA Affairs. We would like to move on by bringing on one of the healthier ministers within the cabinet as the Minister of Health, Wellness and LLA Affairs Honorable Mosey Jabatis who will give you a brief overview of the wider Caribbean Moves campaign. Mr. Minister. Thank you very much. Good morning everyone and a very special good morning to Dr. Sir and the team and our team. Thank you very much for being here. As you know chronic, non-communicable diseases, what we refer to as NCDs, suns indicated to you, cancer diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and he said it already. It's been the leading cause of death in St. Dusha for many years and it's very important for us to keep the focus of the country on NCDs because it continues to cost us lives and also years lost in productive activity. A number of individuals in St. Dusha cannot work because of NCDs. In 2018, the Caribbean Moves campaign was conceptualized and endorsed by the CARICOM leaders as a response to the need for action to reduce the effects of NCDs and the risk factors. It was hoped that the Caribbean Moves initiative would be a multi-sectoral tool aimed at promoting physical activity, healthy eating habits and age-appropriate health checks. Although initially endorsed in 2018, the Caribbean Moves initiative was only officially launched in Jamaica on September 14th, 2022. Less than a week before the official launch of the Caribbean Moves initiative, St. Dusha followed the rest of the Caribbean countries, such as Jamaica and St. Kitts, with its own official launch and you will recall September 9th, 2022. We did it during the commemoration of Caribbean Wellness Day. The Solution Moves is a local chapter of the wider Caribbean Moves initiative and it forms part of the ministry's national wellness drive aimed at increasing awareness of non-communicable diseases, the promotion of wellness and the promotion of age-appropriate physical activity. We want to encourage everyone, children, the elderly, young at heart, physically young and so on, we want to encourage everyone to get moving. While one of the main components of the initiative is that of the promotion of physical activity, St. Dusha Moves will offer a holistic approach to health and wellness, promotion, also to positive health habits and this initiative will include various components and it is envisioned to be an initiative which can be embraced by the public and private sectors. This morning we encourage all St. Nutions to be part of this movement. It's important for us to incorporate it in the public service, when you are at work, what can we do to encourage public servants to get up a little more, what can we do to encourage children in schools to go back to the school yard and play a little more, what can we do to encourage individuals in the community to walk some more and to drink more water and so on. So I congratulate the team, I look forward to this activity, with all of you who are involved in the activity, the minister, the doctor, all of you who are the minister, but also for us in the society, because we have a lot of children, because of the diabetes, the illness, blood pressure, we don't have a lot of children. You know why? It's because we have to do enough activities, because the minister has to do a lot of different activities here to make people know that you're not obligated to do anything, you know, using the ball, you know, you're not able to do anything, you're not able to do anything, you're not obligated to do anything, you're not obligated to do anything, you're not obligated to do anything, you're not obligated to do anything, you're not obligated to do anything, you're not obligated to do anything, you're not obligated to do anything, you're not obligated to do anything, you're not obligated to do anything, you're not obligated to do anything, you're not obligated to do anything, you're not obligated to do anything, you're not obligated to do anything, you're not obligated to do anything, you're not obligated to do anything, you're not obligated to do anything, you're not obligated to do anything, you're not obligated to do anything, you're not obligated to do anything, you're not obligated to do anything, you're not obligated to do Thank you very much. Thank you very much, Mr. Minister. And we'd just like to apologize on the minister's behalf who could not stay with us throughout the press conference. As a number of other pressing matters, he has to see to. Now, the Ministry of Health wants to lead by example this campaign, and that is why earlier I did mention that the Ministry has hosted, encouraged and participated in activities, encouraging, moving. And the minister himself, I've seen him, I haven't, but I've seen him participating in some of these activities. Dr. Cyr, I've seen you as well. I'm not sure for my other two panelists. I'm looking out for you. So let me bring on another one of our panelists, that is Dr. Shana Cyr. She is our senior medical officer for non-communicable diseases. Dr. Cyr Philbert will speak about our target audience and the necessity for the campaign. Dr. Cyr. Thank you so much, Mr. Justin. Good morning, Senusha. So we're relaunching Senusha moves, and we want to this morning speak about a particular aspect of Senusha moves as we go on. So we're hoping that you will stay tuned. So you're asking yourselves maybe, why are we here? Let me tell you. It is Valentine's Day, a day when we celebrate love. We are here today to encourage all Senushans to love their bodies and to move as part of the Senusha Moves Initiative Suggest. Today we want to let all Senushans know that we launched Senusha Moves in September 2022, precisely because we saw how relevant it is for all of us to move into action against NCDs and their risk factors. As Minister would have mentioned, the aim of Senusha Moves is to encourage Senushans to be more physically active and to lead healthier lives. Before we continue, I would like to place things in context. The ministry did not just come up with this just because that this is very, very relevant, and I want to share some very concerning facts with us as Senushans living here or overseas. Over the years, the Ministry of Health has actually carried out a few surveys, some of which are our Steps Behavioral Risk Factor Survey and the Global School Health Survey. The most recent step survey was done in 2020, and a representative sample of about 3,000, in fact over 3,000 Senushans aged 18 to 69, they were interviewed and they were physically measured. The results I wish to share with you to provide context, and I hope that you take note of the results because they are very important. So 65% of the survey population were overweight or obese, that's 65% of the persons aged 18 to 69. Overweight or obese, 50% of the males were overweight or obese and 76.8% of the females. That's almost 80% of the females aged 18 to 69 of a representative sample of Senushans being overweight or obese. And we're talking about 2020, a little before the pandemic. Actually, almost half of the females, 46.1%, they were actually obese. And what do I mean by obese? That their body mass index was 30 or above 30 kilograms per meter squared, while the men were at 20.6%, 20.6% of the males were actually obese. That for us as a Ministry of Health, knowing the implications of obesity is very concerning. Additionally, for this same sample of Senushans, the percentage of persons with raised blood pressure who had not previously been diagnosed with hypertension or high blood pressure was 37.3%, almost 40% of persons aged 18 to 69. And when we break down the figures, we find that 52.8% of the males were actually, their blood pressure was raised and they had not had a previous diagnosis of high blood pressure and 26% of the females. Of course, 26% of the females, possibly because females tend to go to health centers and their doctors more, so they probably would have known. The STAP survey also indicated high levels of what we call NCD risk factors. So our NCDs are non-communicable diseases, cancer, diabetes, heart disease. They are what we call major risk factors, things that make it more likely that you're going to get a disease. So we looked at the risk factors among that sample of Senushans and the percentage of individuals with three or more risk factors for developing those diseases that I just spoke about right? So in terms of risk factors, we had current daily smokers, persons who smoke daily, persons who don't eat enough fruits and vegetables, persons who don't do enough exercise, persons who are overweight or obese. And those with raised blood pressure, as I would have mentioned previously, that was 35.4% of the survey population, breaking it down 31.3% of the males and 38.7% of the females. So these persons are very likely to have those diseases which, of course, cause premature mortality and cause burdens to the families and cause us to lose income. Senusha moves us about physical activity, but as we've mentioned before, it's not just about physical activity because we understand that while physical activity is important, there are other aspects that have to go hand in hand with physical activity. Physical inactivity is a major risk factor for noncommunicable diseases that has been established. In our step survey that was done in 2023, the percentage of persons who did not engage in sufficient physical activity was 17.1%. And we're looking at 150 minutes of moderate intensity activity which would include brisk walking, dancing, hiking and riding your bike at a moderate speed. 17.1% of persons did not do that. The percentage of persons not engaging in activities like running, swimming, heavy hard work, yard work, or faster bike riding was actually 65.9%. That is for the adults aged 18 to 69. One would say, okay, well, the adults are not as physically active as they should be, perhaps the children are. Unfortunately, statistics show that our children are not as active as they should be. So in our 2018 Global School Health Survey where children, well, adolescents to be precise from all of the secondary schools were sampled, adolescents aged 13 to 17, only 21.2% of those students admitted to being physically active for one hour a day. Only 21.2%. That leaves us with the 78.8% not being physically active. But the percent of the students admitted to spending at least three hours after school, not doing homework, outside of homework hours, three hours after school sitting while watching TV or engaging in video games. Now, this is before COVID. We know what COVID did. We had lockdowns. The level of activity dropped because it had to be done. Okay, people were indoors, et cetera. So we know, or we can assume that the figures now are worse than they were before. So if before they were concerning, they're even more concerning now. The aim of Saint-Noche-Amore is to improve physical activity among everyone. Like minister said, all sectors, public, private, our schools, our churches, our business places, among the young and among the old. We want to improve health habits. We want to increase water intake. We want to encourage healthy diets. We want to also improve self-care, health education, and screening. Saint-Noche-Amore is about every Saint-Noche-Amore because we have to make a difference. We cannot continue like this. Thank you. Some of these numbers are very surprising, especially with all the hills and valleys Saint-Noche has. We think we had no choice but to be active and move. So these are very surprising numbers. And I'm hoping, if you're watching, taking note of these numbers, very important, very important. Before we move on to our next panelist, we would like to also re-launch the Saint-Lusia Moves campaign song. I mean, I heard that song for the first time yesterday. I couldn't stop moving. So let's hope it has the same effect on you. And maybe we can get some DJs to play on the radio in effects and see if we get people moving more. So let's take a listen and a look at the Saint-Lusia Moves campaign song. Saint-Lusia, ready, set, move. Move to the left or the right. Kick that body tight. Saint-Lusia, move. Get a good sleep at night. Treat your body right. Saint-Lusia, move. Young old rich or poor. Don't stay inside. I'll let you walk. Move. Walking, running, biking, hiking, swimming, exercising. Move. This message is brought to you by the Ministry of Health and Permitting All Inclusions. Take good care of your mental, spiritual, emotional and physical health. Saint-Lusia, ready, set, move. At least for this one, I hope you're moving. And our plan is to get you moving some more as we continue with the Saint-Lusia Moves campaign to bring on our, to bring another panelist to speak to you about the more components of the 2023 plans for Saint-Lusia Moves. I would like to introduce Dr. Isaac Louisi who is a district medical officer with the Ministry of Health. Dr. Louisi, I'd also like to encourage you to get in that video. We're going to redo that video and we want to see some more faces. That goes for both of you. Dr. Louisi? Mr. Justin, good morning, good morning. Saint-Lusia, Mr. Justin is teasing me because I'm not into social media but I'm active, I promise you that. So Saint-Lusia Moves, as our minister has mentioned, Dr. Sir has mentioned, Saint-Lusia Moves is a wellness campaign. We are trying to encourage people to do more physical activity, yes. And we will speak about the benefits of physical activity but it is a wellness campaign because when, as a doctor, you see a patient, even though the person comes in a headache, you have to see the whole person, not just the headache. So Saint-Lusia Moves, we're taking on that approach to wellness. It's a holistic approach. So we will be partnering with the schools, the ministries, the Ministry of Education, the other ministries because we've partnered with the Ministry of Housing for the battle relay. We will be partnering with other public sectors, the private sectors as well. We will be partnering with them. We will be looking to go into the workplaces to get them educated on wellness, on physical activity, on good sleep. I respect sleep. If you want to know how many calories you burn on an hour of the treadmill, or you could go and take a nap because when you sleep, you burn calories as well. So we need to learn and appreciate the aspect of wholeness and wellness. With Saint-Lusia Moves, we would like to educate our population about being healthy and also the ability to have a chronic condition and still be well because it is different from being healthy and being well. Being healthy is that you have no sickness to deal with. But being well, it surpasses just the physical aspect. It is how you deal with certain situations. Respect for self, respect for body, which is why today, 14th of February, we have chosen to launch Love Your Body. And we have to learn to love our body and respect other people's bodies as well. So through Saint-Lusia Moves, just to give you a little taste of what we would like to do for the year, for February, we're looking at Love Your Body, the Love Your Body campaign. And a lovely video that you just saw that we just saw for the first time to surprise us. It's not the video that we want for Saint-Lusia Moves. We have a song. The song is fantastic. And we know Saint-Lusia is a creative. So for Saint-Lusia Moves, what we're going to do, we are going to launch a video campaign. It's a video competition. So all of our people who are on social media, not like me, but those who are on social media, we encourage you to gang up with your friends. You can do a choreographed dance. You can capture your mother's sweeping. You can do your little gardening and have your friends while you're doing your gardening. You're doing a video to the Saint-Lusia Moves song. While you're in the supermarket picking up your fruits and vegetables, you hear the song break out in the supermarket and you do a little jig and you record it. You send the videos in to the Ministry of Health. The Ministry of Health has a Facebook page. You send the videos in. We also have the e-mail address that you could send it to. Mr. Justin will share. And those videos will be compiled and reviewed by our communications unit and a video of Saint-Lusia's moving will be used for our Saint-Lusia Moves jingle. Now, we're not limiting it to people who are only on our lovely mass of soil. It is also extended to our Saint-Lusia in the diaspora. So we want and we encourage people go on the social media pages, use the jingle as your song, give our jingle some coverage. Let it get out there. Let people learn about Saint-Lusia Moves and what we're doing. Now, that's for February. For March, we are going to be doing walk for mental health. And in that, and these are just little snippets. We will be doing other things and as Cassius will tell you more about that. But in March, for mental health awareness and what walking can do for your mental health. If you know sometimes you're stressed and all you need to do is to go outside, take some nice fresh air, a little walk five minutes and everything is much better. We want people to partner up and the reason why we're encouraging partnering up is I could say I want to do 10,000 steps a day, but if I have to tell Dr. Thierry that I didn't do it, I'm a little more motivated because I have somebody to report to. So you partner up with somebody and the two of you give 10,000 steps per day. That also needs to be sent into the ministry because guess what, for Caribbean Wellness Day this year we're giving prizes to the people who participate and help get the NUSHA moving. For April, now that's why you need to exercise or your memory will get like mine. That's not having Alzheimer's from a very young age. So for the month of April, we'll be looking at dance. I don't know how I forget the dance. We'll be going out into the schools and we'll be extending invitations to the dance companies. So the people who do salsa, the school groups, the name of... What is the name? Help me. The children who dance at the school, Mr. George Barry George's group, Silver Shadows. Silver Shadows. Right, so that's why we work in a team. The Silver Shadows dancers, we are going to approach these sorts of groups and we are going to also encourage different schools and different community groups to have dance throughout the month of April. By the end of April, we will hopefully be launching that official video that you will be sending your clips in. So then you will see yourself in our video by the end of April. And then in May, May is Measure Month. Nusca Swiss will tell us more about measurement. We encourage you to know your numbers, measure your blood pressure, get your blood sugar checked, know what your waistline is, okay? And then in June, we focus on the men and men's wellness. So throughout the year and working up to Caribbean Wellness Day, this year, we have a lot of activities, not just for the workplaces, but also for the schools and for the communities. Now, if we focus a little on the workplaces, at the Ministry of Health, because we tend to say, do what I say, but not as I do. So, we, for the St. Lucia Moves, we have decided that Ministry of Health, we're going to be the trendsetters. And so at the Ministry of Health, as of yesterday, actually, we started with our Water Monday. The dental clinics throughout the islands actually shed lots of pictures. It was beautiful. And so every Monday is Water Monday. Tuesday is Meditation Tuesday for your mental health. Every Wednesday is Fitness Wednesday. And tomorrow, we have in rounders or dodgeball at the beach. So we will encourage other business partners and public sector to take on those sorts of activities. Thursday we look at vegetable consumption, and Friday will be full Fridays. So these are the sort of activities that the Ministry of Health will be undertaking, along with educational activities looking at the benefits of exercise. So the benefits of exercise would be, I won't be able to remember all, but we're looking at increasing your body's ability to actually respond to the sugar in the blood. And so it actually lowers your HBA1C, which is one of the numbers that you will learn throughout the course of the year through know your numbers. It helps your body to respond to blood pressure. So it helps control your blood pressure as well. Exercise actually helps preserve your nerve and vascular health. The health of your blood vessels are improved and preserved through exercise, which means everything that needs blood to work works better with exercise, including your module, right? Exercise also reduces your chances of developing obesity-related cancers because when you exercise the chemicals your body secret actually helps reduce inflammation. Exercise improves mood. So people like me that are going through menopause already, we need to exercise to help stabilize our moods. Yes, it's necessary. Exercise is all-encompassing. And when I say exercise, I need to apologize here. I mean physical activity. If you can't get up and move because there are days we cannot do it and there are certain people who cannot. Doing what you can physically, it helps. So if you can't walk, you do arm stretches. If you can't get out of bed, you point your toes and you do little tip-toes exercises. You do something to get moving. As long as you get the blood to flow more, you get the oxygen to re-blood more. You get the benefits of physical activity. There was a statement from the American Diabetes Association in March of last year where it was found that just three minutes of physical activity every hour had as much benefit to people with obesity, diabetes, and the layperson as doing an hour and 50 minutes three times a week. And that's just physical activity. That's gardening, sweeping, cleaning, washing the dishes. While you're watching TV, get up to go drink your water in between for each advertisement. That's just physical activity. So these are the things that St. Richard moves on to aim at. To get people to appreciate how much the small changes can make for us. I'm excited, and I hope St. Richard is excited too, because, I mean, it is, we're actually trying now to get out there and to partner with the business places that already on board. We have history of courts having the soccer feet, and we always know, NIC does their sneaker day. So we're trying to get more places, more business places to participate and to encourage workplace wellness. And we want people at their homes to be more physically active and to take the stairs instead of the elevator. Those sorts of small decisions that have incredible impact on their lives. Thank you, Dr. Louis. Very informative. Just like the stress on the point, the ministry is participating as well. We are leading, by example. Tomorrow, I have been forced into a game of rounders. They're really going to test my... going to test how physical I am tomorrow. Let's hope I do well for my team. Looks like we have a busy schedule coming up. A lot of activities here. Every month we have something... Yes, and actually the... following Saint Lucia moves here, we have some activities for the schools. I didn't want to say it yet, but we... we need to ensure that we cover all of the components of Saint Lucia moves, which would be the public awareness that we spoke about. The corporate partnership that we have. Our community outreach programs where we would encourage NGOs, faith-based organizations, the uniformed groups, and then the school-based programs. Now, in the school-based programs, we are looking to have a competition for the students. We're not giving too much detail, but we will have a competition for the school-age students for Saint Lucia moves, so keep your S-feel. We will let you know that's about the year 2023. Yes. All right. Not too much excitement, Dr. Luizu. Let's calm it down. That's the easy. That's the easy. All right. So our final panelist for this morning is nurse Julieta Frederick Cassius. She's the principal nursing officer at the Ministry of Health, Wellness, and LLFS, and she will be informing about the important collaborations which the Ministry will be undertaking under the 2023 campaign. Let's Cassius take it away. Thank you. Good morning, Saint Lucia. Good morning to my teammates. And of course, that excitement, Dr. Isaac has just rubbed off on me even more. Yeah. So as part of the campaign for Saint Lucia moves, we also have a key component, know your numbers. Dr. Isaac mentioned about creating the awareness and also the health education aspect. So in knowing your numbers, we won't just be giving information about how to keep healthy, how to promote, but a key component is knowing your numbers. And what does knowing your numbers mean? There are some critical markers which indicates the status. So we have our cholesterol level. Do we know what our cholesterol level is? Do we know what our blood pressure measurement is? Do we know what our blood sugar? Do we know what our waist circumference measurement? We have a lot of persons who may not be big, but we have a lot of adipose tissue around our waist. We know when we get older, this is part of what happens to us, our physiological body. And again, how do we control how do we maintain our weight? So our body mass index again is another critical figure, our visceral fat. So these are very critical indicators that determine our health status. So when we say know your numbers, St. Lucia, do you know what those levels are? Do you know what your cholesterol level? Do you know what your blood pressure and not just just once, but do you know what it is continuously? Do you know what your visceral fat level is? Or do you know what your body mass index? We may be looking big, but is it correct? Is our weight in accordance with our height? Because that is what determines our body mass index. Again, like I mentioned earlier, we may think that we are not fat or we're not big, but what happened to the visceral fat around our body organs? This is that we may not likely see with our eyes. So these are very, very critical and will lead to what we have mentioned earlier, cardiovascular disease. So knowing your numbers, St. Lucia is extremely, extremely important. And this will go through screening. You can only know your number if you get screened. You need to get screened. Your blood pressure need to be checked. Your blood sugar need to be checked. Your level need to be checked. And all of the other markers that are very important that I mentioned earlier. Why is this important for us to know our number? We can only know what is outside of the normal if we do our measurements and we know what our number is. So if we know what is normal, we need to know okay, how do we continue maintaining that wellness, that health if it is abnormal, what is it that we need to do to be better controlled and to maintain that control once we get there. Because for some of us once we okay, our blood pressure is right now is controlled and we feel hey, I do not have blood pressure anymore. But we need to be able to continue doing all the necessary things to be able to ensure that it remains under control and that things do not get out of control and then now we are developing the various complications. So knowing your numbers is extremely important, Saint Lucia. And we need persons, we need to encourage persons to know their numbers. And so the Ministry of Health under this initiative Saint Lucia Moves will be collaborating as you have mentioned as Dr. Isaac has mentioned before. Collaborating with various public private sectors NGOs to be able to go in and do the necessary screenings as much of the population as possible. Our aim is to screen the entire population. We know it's going to take time but at least we need to start somewhere. We've had a very good relationship with some of our workplaces who have the health days or the health months they invite us to come in and screen in and so we went to continue that. But we have some other areas, some other agencies that we would like to work with. We would like them to come on board and for us to be able to go in and do the necessary screenings. Now some of us do not want to know what our number is. We don't want to know what we have. We do not want to know you know it's better I do not know and this is a fear that we have but get what? If we are able to detect early enough and that is the basis for screening early identification we are able to correct it much sooner so it does not it does not get to a place where it's a cost to the family it's a cost to the country you know and it can be an uncomfortable place to be at. So we really want Saint Lucian's go get screens. You need to know what your numbers are and only if you know what your numbers are we are able to know what is it that you need to do or not do to be able to keep that under control. So we'll be collaborating with all of our agencies out there we'll be doing community outreach we know not everybody comes to our health facilities so we will go into them. So all of these pockets small settlements within the communities will be going out there and doing community screenings because we want everyone to know what is my number what is my number what is my cholesterol level is it good is it not so good is it not at a place where it needs to be I need to get it at this place where it needs to be controlled and I know that I am okay. Now many of us we are walking around and we feel okay we look okay we believe that we are healthy but are we because again not unless we get screened we will not know what our numbers are. So it's very important Saint Lucia that you know your number and you can continue knowing your number doing your screens to be able to do your necessary checks so it tells you where you are health wise again maintaining wellness so this is part of we are maintaining your health alright so Saint Lucia look out for us we will be coming to the workplaces we will be coming to the shopping malls we will be coming to your homes we will be having that nationwide screening so everybody we are more children adults the elderly all of us we will get at some point to know your numbers so you need to know so you can know how to move on from there thank you thank you Miss Cassius and I think you've been given plenty reasons why you should love your body today and we want to stress on that aspect of loving your body Saint Lucia moves 2023 it's all about loving your body starting today Valentine's Day if you love something or somebody put your body first put yourself first right so a number of exciting announcements today one of them is the video campaign to Saint Lucia moves ladies and gentlemen remember if you want to take part you want to be part of that exciting video you want to make that video go viral on social media that's right so you saw a lot of faces a while ago from the ministry the next video we do we want that to be public that's right from Saint Lucia the diaspora alright we are now in wine in another video anyway once you move once you move so just to throw back to our panelists anything you want to add in there before we say goodbye just to remind Saint Lucia that what we're doing what we intend on doing as a ministry as the NCD committee is that we would like to move forward together as our independent statement says Saint Lucia moves we would like to shape our destiny so we are working on moving together as a nation as a region to shape our destiny by improving our health I didn't intend to stop your conversation so good morning good morning I'm happy to be part of the Saint Lucia moves my belly big but that's okay it's the whole idea question I see is what are the incentives to encourage people at different levels at different categories I hope some of you can different categories I heard somebody mention the churches and the schools and everybody else but I'm really thinking about the different age groups and I know the problems that the Ministry of Health and the hospitals face with the number of how you call it NCDs serious situations so I believe to have a lot more incentives so that people can participate like people at the core I hope you represent the people who represent the people less You represent the people who are not who are not how you call it We are different we are different we are different we are in best We're not talking about physical education, we're talking about PE, no. Apart from PE, apart from the PE we're talking about, we're talking about moving for me. So we're going to check what we're going to move more than one hour every day, okay? So you see it by Pusse Tiamaila, Lord Baghai says, so let's have a different shot of Pusse Tiamaila kick from common entrance. Let's send it to the professor. Let's inject him, you can buy a vaccine, you can screen Tiamaila. You can screen Tiamaila. measure, all you want with you, you'll pay, you'll echo it to my sir, do it kind of problem. Nukaipalex, it's my mother and papa, educate them, it differs me, sayonipu, to edit it to my sir.

I don't know much about coffee. And I don't know much about competition. I think it's a business plus. Like any competition, how does a business place cafe make you exercise? How does a business place cafe make you exercise? How does a business place cafe make you exercise? And in exchange, it's not just about everyone just learning to exercise. We don't exercise, we don't do exercise. So, if you want to buy, you can come. You can buy a doctor, a nurse to do your education. If you want to go to a cafe, you can exercise. We don't do screening, not to buy. We don't do business place cafe. We don't do it because of the amount of money you spend. We don't do tell-tale-buy or tell-tale-shows. We don't do it for Caribbean Wellness Day. We don't do it for this business place, like this cafe. We don't do it because of the amount of money you spend. We don't do it for March. We don't do it for March and April for Business Places. We don't do it for this business place. We don't do it because of the amount of money you spend. We don't do it for Wall-S. We don't do it because of the amount of money you spend. I will say this one in English. It's a win-win. It's a win-win. It's a win-win. Okay, so, Gaspar, I'd like to thank you for that. But before we leave here to the ladies, I'd like you all to measure Gaspar. We will measure Gaspar and his waist. Yeah, measure his waist area. And after this campaign, we will measure him again. Because he's going to be participating much more, right? Round us tomorrow, Gaspar? Yes. We're inviting the media houses to participate as well. Definitely, yes. I'm calling on the media houses to take part in this, not just to show. Not to cover it only. Not just to cover. Not just to cover. What are you doing? Yeah, we want them participating. That's right. We know there are a lot of fit people in the media houses. Other than I'm not there anymore. Yeah, there are others fit in the media houses.
