December is usually a time people in Nigeria look forward to. The end of the year serves as a time for most to reflect on what they have achieved during the year, spend time with loved ones and plan for the coming year. Despite it being a time of relaxation and merriment, it doesn't come without its own share of stress and activities that need the human body to be completely energized.
