The\u00a0National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control\u00a0<\/a>(NAFDAC) has warned Nigerians against excessive fasting on religious grounds, stating it can destroy the kidney.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Director-General of the NAFDAC, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, who stated this in Abuja during a briefing, urged Nigerians to fast with common sense or pay with their kidneys.<\/p>\n

\n

While also urging Nigerians to desist from patronising hawkers and street-corner sellers of medicines, Adeyeye said: \u201cKidney failure, liver damage, others, I don\u2019t know how many have died in Nigeria due to substandard medicines and unwholesome foods.<\/p>

\n

\u201cHowever, we are a very religious country, Muslims and christians, we fast a lot, and it is part of the kidney problem. Because your body has to have homeostasis balance, meaning the water level in your body must be enough to make your organs to function. Some people will fast for 10, 20 days, without drinking a lot of water. The kidney is being punished.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
