Al Khalij Commercial Bank (Al Khaliji), in collaboration with Lite n’ Appetite Health and Diet Food Center (Lite n’ Appetite), recently organised a special nutrition awareness event titled ‘Together for a healthier you’ for the bank’s staff.
The event was organised in the framework of Al Khaliji’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme, the bank said in a press statement.
The initiative was held with the aim of raising awareness among Al Khaliji employees about the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle.
As part of the activity, one-on-one consultancy sessions were provided to the bank’s staff, along with comprehensive advice and education on nutrition, health and physical exercise.
Moreover, the event saw the provision of a full nutrition assessment of participating employees, including segmental body mass analysis using the medically-approved BMA scale and a ‘Waist to Hip Ratio’ assessment.
This was in addition a full host of Lite n’ Appetite services such as a short educational presentation on healthy lifestyle, as well as tips on adopting a healthier lifestyle following the Qatar National Dietary Guidelines, healthy cooking techniques, exercise in the workplace and stress-relieving nutrition tips.
The bank’s employees were also given their personalised ‘health and nutritional needs’ assessment report by Lite n’ Appetite.
Each report reflected the current nutritional status of the employee, empowering every staff member with the information they need in order to make their own health development decisions and take positive action accordingly, the statement noted.
