Coca-Cola Nigeria Limited has reiterated its commitment to the health of the nation with the inauguration of 'Eva Fun Walk'.
In a statement on Saturday, the firm said that the walk programme was instituted to help Nigerians become aware of the benefits that could be accrued from simple exercises such as walking.
The statement quoted a fitness consultant/instructor, Mr. Wale Edun as saying that regular walk covering long distance has been identified as a great way to keep fit, avoid illnesses and control weight gain.
Speaking at the 10 kilometer walk held around the National Stadium in Lagos recently, Edun said that walking was the simplest form of cardiovascular exercise that could easily be done at one's convenience and with a wide range of benefits including reducing blood pressure; improving the mood and staying fit.
The Senior Brands Manager, Coca-Cola, Mr. Otome Oyo, emphasised the need to embrace a healthy and active lifestyle.
He said, "The Eva Fun Walk Surulere is the first of the four zonal activations for the 'Be Eva Active' campaign. During the course of the year, other zones will be activated."
