At HORUS- Urban Health, we want to celebrate a very important day for us too: World Nutrition Day.🥗
Good nutrition is a fundamental aspect of maintaining health as well as human development in growing stages and thus maintaining stronger immune systems, with a reduced risk of non-communicable diseases #NCD.
The United Nations has declared 2016-2025 as the Decade of Action on Nutrition because of its importance, as according to the UN, 3 billion people cannot afford a healthy diet and almost 768 million people worldwide are undernourished.
Just as HORUS wants to analyse the causal links between the characteristics of the urban built #environment and the prevalence of NCD risk behaviours, we want to highlight that all factors are important and raise awareness about the importance of proper nutrition to avoid NCDs.
