A senior dietitian from Qatar urged children yesterday to maintain a
balanced diet to prevent obesity. Clinical dietitian at the Sports
Medicine Program in Qatar Shaima Al-Khaldi was addressing delegates
yesterday at the Pediatric Nutrition Symposium at the Four Seasons Hotel
in Riyadh.
.
The symposium was organized by the Saudi Dietetic Association (SDA) in
cooperation with Almarai, the largest integrated dairy foods company in
the world.
.
Established in Riyadh in 1976, Almarai extends its network throughout the
Arabian Peninsula, leading and influencing the agricultural, dairy
processing and food distribution industries.
.
When consuming a balanced diet, it is also necessary for the children to
engage themselves in regular physical exercise to stay healthy and active,
Al-Khaldi said,
.
Talking on nutrition at school today, the lecturer pointed out that a
proper diet and physical activity should go hand in hand with each other
to maintain a healthy body.
.
The dietitian also said that excess of any food is bad for health. Even
fruit juice has a high sugar content and excessive intake would increase
glucose levels in the body, eventually leading to obesity, she added.
.
Al-Khaldi, who was one of the three guest lecturers at the symposium, said
the government of Qatar had recently observed a National Sports Day to
create awareness among the people on the importance of healthy food and
physical culture.
.
This was a public holiday and everyone was encouraged to know about the
value of sports and proper diet in one's life.
.
She pointed out studies in Qatar have shown that school students spend
excessive time on TV or Internet use, encouraging obesity. For that
reason, she added that school-based nutrition intervention would
facilitate health awareness and reduce mortality and morbidity from
adolescent and adult obesity.
