A gastroenterologist reminds Filipino families to choose healthier foods for their New Year’s Eve feast. In an exclusive interview with The Manila Times, Dr. Paolo Demapelis warned Filipinos of the harms of overeating, stressing that this could lead to long-term conditions like stroke and heart attack. He said that salty foods, which are common during the holidays, increase the risk of stroke. Demapelis implored Filipinos to eat and drink in moderation and to have regular health check-ups. On December 31, the Department of Health (DOH) reported a 5 percent increase in stroke, heart attack, and asthma this holiday season compared to last year.
