Announcing the Launch of LifestyleAfrica.org

    KAMPALA, UGANDA, January 04, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Announcing the launch of LifestyleAfrica.org, a website dedicated to promoting Healthy Living, Fitness and Wellness in Africa so that Africans can enjoy longer, healthier, happier lives.

"We created this website out of the need to find answers to the health challenges facing the African people, brought about by modern living, fast food, and unhealthy lifestyles. It is estimated that by around 2030 nearly half the African population will suffer from high blood pressure. This alone will put a lot of pressure on Africa's fledgling economies. But then in this same period we'll see a rapid increase in diabetes cases, cancer, and a lot of other conditions. Something has to be done - and done fast - to educate Africans on the important changes in diet and lifestyle that need to be made," says Namige Kayondo, a Kampala-based freelance writer.

"Given the under-developed, under-funded state of most health systems in the majority of African countries this threat dwarfs HIV/AIDS and Ebola combined, especially since most of the loss in human lives will be middle class Africans and the educated elite."

The continent already is spending hundreds of millions of dollars annually towards an ever increasing number of complicated surgery procedures in India and Europe that cannot be done locally, such as heart surgery, cancer treatments, and organ transplants.

The website will cover a wide range of topics, including healthy living/healthy eating, fitness and exercise, research and news, wellness, diets, motivation and self development, and much more.
