Cardiologist warns Ghanaians against excessive 'koobi', 'momoni' consumption

He said combining a balanced diet with exercise could help reduce the risk of lifestyle-related diseases, including conditions linked to high blood pressure.

He warned that prolonged consumption of high-sodium foods could increase the risk of cardiovascular complications, making moderation important.

Physician Specialist and Cardiology Fellow at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, Dr Albert Agbi, said the popular salted fish varieties contain high levels of sodium, which can contribute to elevated blood pressure when consumed in excess.
