On the occasion of the celebration of National Nutrition Day, which falls on Thursday, May 28, the municipal health services Murcia City Council have scheduled a series of activities including workshops, information, awareness and practical advice to promote healthy habits.
The health campaign undertaken seeks to avoid the major risk factors for chronic diseases more prevalent in our society (Cardiovascular Disease, Cancer and Diabetes), among which are those associated with poor nutrition: obesity, high cholesterol, low fruit and vegetables and hypertension, as well as lack of physical activity to fight obesity as one of the leading causes of premature death and avoidable, and communicating to the public that health status has much to do with individual responsibility for their own decisions.
These diseases can be prevented.
