Prof. Maha Hoteit, Master Officer in Clinical Nutrition and Public Health at the Faculty, will participate in the workshop through a study - the first of its kind in Lebanon and the Arab world - related to the assessment of food culture among young age groups (between 10 and 19 years) and their families in Lebanon and the Arab countries.
The results of the study, supported by ESCWA, pave the way for the inclusion of nutrition in the Lebanese and Arab educational curricula, noting that the implementation of the project to introduce nutrition in school curricula requires a well-studied action plan in coordination with the Ministries of Education and Higher Education and Public Health.
Professor Hoteit stresses that such a step, if taken, is one of the most important opportunities to protect the health of young people in society by providing them with food education to make healthy food choices inside and outside school, in addition to alleviating the health burdens of chronic food-related diseases such as obesity, which begins to be dangerous in the early stages and is caused by unhealthy eating habits.
