Webinar on Illness to Wellness “HEALTHY DIET for HEALTHY TOMORROW”

The “WHO Global Strategy on Diet, Physical Activity and Health” was adopted in 2004 by the Health Assembly. The strategy called on governments, WHO, international partners, the private sector and civil society to act at global, regional and local levels to support healthy diets and physical activity. People are now consuming more foods high in energy, fats, free sugars and salt/sodium, and many people do not eat enough fruit, vegetables, and other dietary fibre such as whole grains. However, increased production of processed foods, rapid urbanization and changing lifestyles have led to a shift in dietary patterns.

Eating a healthy, balanced diet is an important part of maintaining good health and can help you feel your best. This means eating a wide variety of foods in the right proportions and consuming the right amount of food and drink to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight. A healthy diet helps to protect against malnutrition in all its forms, as well as non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and cancer. An unhealthy diet and lack of physical activity are leading global risks to health.

Diet evolves over time, being influenced by many social and economic factors that interact in a complex manner to shape individual dietary patterns. Therefore, promoting a healthy food environment – including food systems that promote a diversified, balanced, and healthy diet – requires the involvement of multiple sectors and stakeholders, including government, and the public and private sectors.

With the paramount objectives to cascade awareness and disseminate wisdom about healthy diets which can reduce risk factors and lead us to a healthier, happier, and prosperous life, under the Illness to Wellness campaign, ASSOCHAM organized a webinar on “HEALTHY DIET for HEALTHY TOMORROW” scheduled on Tuesday, 22nd March 2022 from 3.00 PM To 4.00 PM.
