Government urges healthy diet in bid to beat diabetes
Countries all over the world are discovering that a healthy diet has an affect on not only preventing diabetes, but als treating it once it is diagnosed. This report is from the Cyrpus Mail:
HEALTH Minister Costas Kadis yesterday urged the public to eat healthily and exercise more in order to avoid diseases such as a sugar diabetes.
“Correct nutrition is one of the basic factors that contribute to good health and preventing diseases,” the minister said while presenting the newly-published National Nutrition and Exercise Guideline booklet, along with the Guideline to Diagnosing, Preventing and Handling Sugar Diabetes.
“Modern life and poor nutritional habits, brought on by consumerism and comfort, have led to an increase in diseases related to bad nutrition,” Kadis explained, adding: “According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), around 60 per cent of deaths are caused by ‘lifestyle illnesses’: heart disease, cancer, diabetes and hypertension.”
So, he continued, the Health Ministry decided to issue the National Nutrition and Exercise Guideline, which informs Cypriots on general and international diet instructions, while relating it to local traditional foods.
In order to raise awareness over the booklet, the ministry will be joining the Dietetics Association at the Food Festival on April 5 in Nicosia, while copies will be sent to all schools and the National Guard.
