A Medical Practitioner is calling on people to watch what they eat during this Christmas and New Year to avoid getting sick.

Dr Rajesh Maharaj said that they have seen a trend of more people going to the doctor with high cholesterol levels, diabetes problems, high blood pressure or stomach problems which is a result of over consumption of food and drinks.

Maharaj is urging people to enjoy their drinks and food however in a moderate amount to avoid getting sick.

He is also calling on people to think about their loved ones before drinking and driving.
