The Dubai Health Authority’s clinical nutrition department is conducting a series of health awareness campaigns about keeping Ramadan healthy and safe.
Dr Wafa Ayesh, director of Clinical Nutrition at the DHA, highlighted the need to reap the benefits of detoxification by following a healthy lifestyle during Ramadan.
In line with this, DHA will hold a 10-day health awareness campaign, starting today, in cooperation with Dubai Municipality at the World Trade Centre from 9 pm until midnight.
The campaign will see DHA health professionals carry out free health screenings including blood sugar, blood pressure, etc., and will have DHA nutritionists dish out ways to eat healthy during Ramadan.
DHA nutritionists will also provide DHA staff members with daily health tips and nutritious Ramadan recipes.
Ramadan health tips will also be communicated to fasters who visit the clinical nutrition clinics in DHA primary healthcare centres.
In cooperation with DHA’s Dubai Diabetes Combat and Control Committee, the clinical nutrition department has distributed 40,000 booklets with fasting tips for diabetic patients.
