My husband’s big tummy

My husband who is 55 years of age is in the habit of eating pounded yam almost every day and drinks a lot of palm wine. Now his tummy which is almost as big as that of a pregnant woman is causing him a lot of embarrassment. He says he cannot do without pounded yam and palm wine. Kindly help me to know what to do about this problem.

The only solution to your husband’s protruding abdomen is to for him to reduce the consumption of carbohydrates and alcohol which come from the pounded yam and Palm wine which he consumes on a daily basis. In addition, he should be exercising regularly in order to burn some energy and so reduce his weight.
