Abu
Dhabi, June 2013: Launched in 2007 under the patronage of Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, ‘Diabetes-Knowledge-Action’ is the multi-faceted public health awareness
campaign from Imperial College London Diabetes Centre.
The campaign’s main aim is to communicate how easy
it is to maintain a healthy lifestyle by adopting a balanced diet and taking a
30-minute brisk walk each day.
The campaign presently has four pillars:
- Eat
for Life
invites children, parents and carers to consider what they eat by taking
part in a variety of interactive sessions, including one that considers
the contents of a healthy lunchbox.
- Cook
for Life
looks to inspire families to cook balanced meals using special recipes, as
well as tuning in to our long-running healthy cook show and attending
healthy cookery demonstrations.
- Play
for Life
promotes regular exercise for healthy living to corporate teams through
events such as the annual Football Tournament and the Play for Life
Fitness Challenge.
- Walk
for Life
encourages a 30-minute brisk walk each day, and hosts an annual community
walkathon which attracts thousands of participants.
Now
in its seventh year, more than 17,000 people are expected to join in the nation’s leading annual Walk 2013 on
November 15, to pace the five kilometre main walk around Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina
Circuit.
