I’ll use wrestling to support Cameroon’s health sector- Golden Boy

By Ifeanyi Eduzor
American sensational wrestler, Dr. Jim “Golden Boy” McDowell, says he will use his forthcoming fight in Cameroon to impact on the health needs of the country’s citizens.
Golden Boy, a dentist by profession, as part of his promotion of wrestling in the Central African country will donate some dental equipment to enable dentists in Cameroon carry out their jobs unhindered.
McDowell, a stylish grappler who will be competing with “Animal” Tazo Alain ; the Cameroon National heavyweight champion and title holder in Yaoundé, Cameroon on Saturday 22nd July, 2023 in a clash tagged the “BATTLE GROUND’ 2023 noted that health is wealth and he will always encourage people not to joke with their health
“The saying “Health is Wealth” means that good health is the biggest wealth anybody can have. Anything can be achieved if we have good health. It is not enough to have money alone. We can make good use of our wealth only if we have good health. Good health is not only the absence of diseases in the body but a complete physical, mental, social as well as spiritual well-being of an individual.
“It’s equally important for people to understand that dentists help their patients to protect, restore and maintain their oral health.
” We diagnose and treat diseases and administer care to injuries and malfunctioning of the teeth, oral tissues and the mouth while we also check a patient’s head and neck areas as they relate to oral health” explained Golden Boy
“As a medical personnel and philanthropist, I have 10 Doctor Scrub tops and 10 bio-hazardous lab jackets to be donated in Cameroon as they would be very useful to the health sector practitioners. It will also serve as a goodwill message to our medical professionals who sacrifice so much of their time, effort and knowledge for the health of all in Cameroon and that will be our own little way of saying thank you to them.
He noted that while in Cameroon, he would also want to share ideas with the country’s healthcare professionals and patients.
“A person who positively affects the life of other people without asking for anything in return will never lack instead he becomes strong in times of weakness, and the blessings he receives are like a specially delivered and beautifully packaged miracle” Golden Boy stressed.
The world renowned wrestler was of the view that to maintain healthy teeth and gums, people need to brush their teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste, just as he advised people to replace their tooth brush every 3 to 4 months; eat a healthy diet and avoid taking of sweets and sweetened drinks.
