The Former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai Friday has highlighted the deep connection between mental and physical well-being.
El-rufai spoke during the Egyptian national day celebration.
El Rufai emphasized the importance of addressing negative energy by focusing on mental health as a pathway to holistic healing.
Speaking on the subject of emotional wellness, he explained that “the negative energy in your body is the negative energy in your mind,” reinforcing the idea that mental strain often manifests physically.
He explained that stressing the mind-body link, eliminating negative thoughts and emotions is key to improving overall physical health.
While acknowledging the complexity of the issue, El Rufai said , “I don’t think I can come up with an answer to that,” pointing instead to ongoing research and urging the public to stay informed about developments in mental health science.
He calls for greater support for those struggling with emotional or psychological burdens, stating, “It’s very important that we provide support for the people that need it.”
He also underlined the growing public discourse around the impact of mental energy on physical well-being and the necessity for compassionate support systems in today’s increasingly stressful world.
