The Nutrition Section of Punjab Food Authority, in collaboration with the management of Emporium Mall, successfully hosted a public Nutrition Awareness camp on December 29, 2023.
This event, themed “Optimal Nutrition and its effects on overall well-being,” attracted over 200 participants who underwent comprehensive nutrition screening. Assessment tools such as BMI, body fat, and visceral fat measurements were conducted on volunteers and promoted through various advertisements to engage a wide audience. The findings revealed a concerning prevalence of diabetes, hypertension, and overweight conditions among individuals, primarily attributed to inadequate physical activity, unhealthy lifestyle choices, insufficient sleep, and improper meal scheduling. To address these health concerns, personalized nutrition counseling sessions were conducted based on the specific dietary requirements of each individual.
The collaboration between Punjab Food Authority’s Nutrition Section and Emporium Mall provided a platform to highlight the importance of optimal nutrition and its profound impact on overall well-being, emphasizing the need for healthier lifestyle choices among the community.
