Healthy Food Promotion for Populations Wellbeing: The Saudi National Initiative

Abstract

Obesity, diabetes, and other significant consequences of unhealthy diet added financial and social burden to all countries. Therefore, active communities found that healthy diet promotion through governmental and non-governmental organizations can effectively raise the populations’ level of awareness and provide access to healthy food options. This will eventually facilitate the adoption of healthy eating habits and significantly impact the population’s health. A Healthy Food Promotion (HFP) national program will be conducted in Saudi Arabia as a part of the 2030 vision, which aims at offering a fulfilling and healthy life. The program will include designing and implementing several initiatives that aim at enhancing the eating habits and the wellbeing of the Saudi population.
