How I battled health challenges for four years- Uriel

Recently evicted Big Brother Naija All Stars housemate, Uriel Oputa, has detailed how she battle health challenges for four years.

She stated this in a recent  chat with Hero Daniels, the media personality.

She said “Before I decided to embark on a health journey, I had health challenges. One of them was that I didn’t see my period for four years. And I remember going to the doctors in the UK, and they told me that there was a high possibility that I would never be able to have children. That time, my niece was two years old and I remember leaving the office thinking, ‘Oh! I will never be able to have a child.’

“I went into a state of depression. I was so depressed that I couldn’t watch kids on TV. I hated going past schools or parks because I would be reminded constantly that I might not be able to be a mother.

“So, it reached a point where I said, ‘Okay, if I can’t be a mother, I would have my niece as mine;’ And that is why, till today, my niece and I are very close because she looks at me as a second mother.”

She added “I come from a family where my mum has high blood pressure and various different things. I really did not want to see myself go down the same route, so I had to make a change.

“I changed the way I ate and I had to incorporate working out. So, it was something I had to do to better my life.”
