He tackled nutrition problems facing children, young people and the elderly. He also shed light on the seriousness of eating foods with added synthetic colors and artificial flavorings, as well as saturated fats and hydrogenated oils which have serious effects on health especially when taken in large quantities. The subject of osteoporosis and foods recommended in this case was tackled, too. Diseases caused by iron deficiency which results in anemia were addressed, as well. Finally, there was an awareness session on the importance of eat whole, fresh, and unprocessed foods, vegetables and fruits as an important source of vitamins and minerals and not to rely solely on fast food which destroy health due to its high saturated fat, salt and microbial contamination. |
