In December staff from
Park Regis Kris Kin Hotel Dubai joined more than 20,000 people in the city to
take part in 5th annual Beat Diabetes Walkathon at Zabeel Park. The
two-kilometer walk was organised to raise awareness about diabetes and promote
the benefits of a healthier lifestyle.
Mr Scott Butcher, General
Manager, Park Regis Kris Kin Hotel Dubai, said, "Corporate Social
Responsibility lies at the heart of our business ethics. We are all too aware
of the risks of diabetes and as responsible citizens the first thing that needs
to be done is to raise awareness about the illness, its causes and prevention. And
the Beat Diabetes Walkathon is a wonderful initiative that we were proud to be
part of."
There is ample evidence that lifestyle changes (achieving a healthy
body weight and moderate physical activity) can help prevent the development of
type 2 diabetes. Physical activity
is one of the main pillars in the prevention of diabetes. Increased physical
activity is important in maintaining weight loss and is linked to reduced blood
pressure, reduced resting heart rate, increased insulin sensitivity, improved
body composition and psychological well-being.
The latest research shows that one in ten of the world’s
population will have diabetes by 2035, surging to a total of 592 million, many
in low and middle income countries and the majority under 60 years of age. There
are 745,940 diabetics in the UAE, according to figures published by the
International Diabetes Federation to mark World Diabetes Day. In 304,000 of
those cases the condition has not been diagnosed.
