Physiother­apy Tips On Mental Health During Ramadan

- By Michael Akinadewo

MOUKA, market leader in Nigeria’s sleep industry, salutes Muslim faithful across the nation in commemorat­ion of Ramadan.

The foremost company is partnering with the Nigeria Society of Physiother­apy to raise awareness for the importance of quality sleep as a bedrock for overall mental and physical health during the holy month.

The Vice President of the Nigeria Society of Physiother­apy, Dr. Usman Abba Ahmed, shared his views on the importance of quality sleep during Ramadan.

He said: “Having a good quality sleep during Ramadan fasting will make you healthy and productive during the daytime. Adults should strive to have the recommende­d hours of quality sleep daily, even during Ramadan.”

Usman added that quality sleep is impossible without a good quality mattress and pillow. According to him, the Nigeria Society of Physiother­apy ( NSP) recommends Mouka mattresses and pillows for quality sleep, especially during Ramadan. NSP has evaluated Mouka’s manufactur­ing processes and is very confident that its products meet internatio­nal standards. Hence, Muslim faithfuls are encouraged to sleep on Mouka products to maintain physical and mental fitness during Ramadan. The foundation of Mouka was laid in 1959 when the scion of the Faiz Moukarim family of Lebanese origin started the Moukarim Metalwood factory in Kano to manufactur­e furniture and iron beds. In December 2022, Mouka made a smooth transition for sustainabl­e market leadership, changing ownership to Dolidol, market leader in the sleep industry of Francophon­e Africa based out of Morocco.
