The event which held at The Campus Square, Lagos Island saw high profile men and women from all walks of life in attendance, and it was one of the events set aside to flag off the 10th anniversary celebration of Avon Healthcare Limited (Avon HMO)
Attendees were urged to engage in regular exercise to wade heart diseases and other illness battling against the body.
Elumelu said taking his health and fitness seriously before the age of 30 has been one of his best decisions in life. Elumelu, 60, also urged people to invest in their health for the long term like business.
“I can’t remember when I began to take my health and fitness very seriously, but when I saw increased energy I started taking my health and fitness seriously, before I hit 30, and it has been one of my best decisions in life. I am 60 now – do I feel it? No! I owe that to taking a long-term decision 30 years ago. Like business, invest in your health for the long term – make those incremental changes, show that determination, resilience and discipline! I put my body to the test last weekend! I joined my wife, Dr. Awele Elumelu, OFR, Chair, Avon Healthcare Limited (and marathon runner!), Adesimbo Ukiri, MD/CEO Avon HMO and Heirs Holdings
