Did you know the average life expectancy in Nigeria is just 54 years? That’s nearly 20 years below the global average. Preventable diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and other illnesses are cutting lives short. 

The good news is, many of these conditions can be prevented through healthy eating, regular exercise, and routine checkups. 

Unfortunately, there’s still a significant knowledge gap about the importance of prevention, and access to affordable healthcare remains a major challenge. But what if we told you that adding 10, 15, even 20 more healthy years to your life could start with simple, everyday choices?

Healthbanc, is on a mission to change Nigeria’s health story, one person at a time, through preventive healthcare to make it easier for people to detect health issues early, eat better, become active, and live longer. Because a longer, healthier life shouldn’t be a privilege, it should be the norm.

Why Prevention Is The Key To a Longer Life

Healthy exercise for long life

Studies show that regular exercise, early disease detection, and proper nutrition can add up to a decade to your lifespan. Yet, so many people miss out because:

  • Fitness feels expensive 
  • Diagnostic tests are costly 
  • Healthy eating seems unrealistic (Junk food is cheaper, right?)

But what if you could break these barriers without sacrificing your wallet?

Small Changes That Make a Difference

1. Fitness- Just 30 minutes of daily exercise can slash your risk of heart disease by 40%. 

2. Early Detection Saves Lives- 70% of diseases in Nigeria are detected too late. Diagnostic services (blood tests, screenings, health checks) help you catch issues early—before they become life-threatening.

3. Eat real food, it’s cheaper than you think- Processed foods and sugary drinks are shortening lives. Eating healthy meal options doesn’t have to be very expensive. Because what you eat today determines how long and well you live tomorrow. 

4. Preventive Care = More Years, Fewer Worries- Small habits like regular check-ups, quality supplements, and stress management can add years to your life.
