Obesity Awareness Campaign at Dubai Women's College.

The session addressed issues on nutrition to help women slim down and gave tips on skin and hair care. Ms. Monique Helou, Senior R&D Manager, VLCC International L.L.C conducted the seminar. The related risk of obesity, the medical conditions and its management through healthy eating and active lifestyle were stressed.

The importance of having proper breakfast was emphasized to the students. Healthy recipes were discussed along with simple tips. Onsite checking of body mass index and body fat percent were conducted and all students were given personal counseling and nutrition tips.

Students got hands-on experience of VLCC personal care products which they tried onsite and were given a brief of each product with a special onsite promotion kit. Customized Mother's Day Arabic Healthy Living Guide for the family and aprons along with greeting cards were distributed to all participating students.

Mrs. Tania Coelho from VLCC said that

"the aim of the lecture is to increase the student awareness on healthy life style in this fast paced life. Students adopt unhealthy eating habits due to stress and lack of time. For VLCC, every service from the most basic beauty solution to the highly specialized slimming or beauty treatment is delivered by a dedicated team of experts from the fields of Cosmetology, Dermatology, Physiotherapy and Nutrition."
