National Youth Service Corp was propounded by General Yakubu Gowon on 22nd May 1973 after the fatal civil war. In other to unify Nigerians, confluence the ethnicity and cultures of different people and also for the better development of Nigeria. During this 1 year service to the country, there is a 3 weeks orientation camp experienced by corp members, this camp promotes the association of different people from diverse backgrounds, cultures to mingle when undergoing several activities in camp. This camp fosters the development of 2 main habits that is key to health betterment. The two main habits are:
(1) Exercise
(2) Normal sleep


EXERCISE

Every morning corp members undergo exercise which is beneficial to ones health because several advantages could be derived from regular exercise.
(1) Curb diseases
(2) Weight control
(3). Prevent cardiovascular diseases
(4) Mood improvement

If corp members could persist this habit imbibed in them. It would foster improved daily productivity.

NORMAL SLEEP

The orientation camp facilitates adequate sleep and hinders excessive sleep. Light out by 10pm and waking up of corp members by 5am makes sleep a normal and adequate one. 8 hours sleep daily for adult is good for their health.

Adequate sleep promotes:
(1) Improves cardiovascular functions
(2) Prevents some diseases e.g. cancer
(3) Improves brain power
(4) Controls body weight

Waking early is good for the efficient alertness of the body and preparing impeccably for the day ahead. Undergoing this process for 3 weeks with the aid of will power is good enough for a corp member to continue this habit and gain the benefits derived from it.

This article was assembled from my recent experience at the orientation camp.After spending 3 weeks at the orientation camp these are the two key health benefits corp members could derive.

Serve Nigeria and live healthy.
