The Editor-in-Chief of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr, shared insights into some unhealthy habits he used to have but which he no longer practices.
During an appearance on Metro TV’s Good Morning Ghana a year ago, Kwesi Pratt disclosed that he used to smoke more than two packets of cigarette a day, a habit he eventually had to discard.
‘Frankly, I don’t know. I don’t do anything extraordinary. I don’t exercise. All the things that we were told were not good for our health and so on, I’ve done them. There’s nothing that I haven’t done. At one stage, I used to smoke more than two packets a day,’ he revealed.

Veteran journalist and editor-in-Chief of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr has revealed that he hardly follows any recommended lifestyle practices to maintain his health.
He revealed this while speaking to Randy Abbey on the Good Morning Ghana show on Metro TV.
He had been quizzed on why he remains healthy and
sharp even at the age of 70.
According to Kwesi Pratt Jnr, he hardly followed any health practices, and even used to smoke up to two packets of cigarettes a day.
‘Frankly, I don’t know. I don’t do anything extraordinary. I don’t exercise. All the things that we were told were not good for our health and so on, I’ve done them. There’s nothing that I haven’t done. At one stage, I used to smoke more than two packets a day,’ he revealed.
Kwesi Pratt Jnr. added that the reason he is in good health at his age is due to the fact that he listens to his own body and follows its needs.
‘I think the only thing I do that works is that? Is to listen to my body. I mean, the body speaks to us all the time, the food we eat, okay? If it’s not good for your body, it will tell you. Your body tells you when to drink. Yeah, I cook, I bake cakes, I do all that. It’s not a problem.
…But I think the most important thing is to listen to your body. If you listen to your body, you’ll never get anything wrong. I’m not admitting t
hat I’m in the best of health. I’m not admitting that I’m anything. The point simply is that I’ve lived my life listening to my body and doing what my body tells me,’ he added.
