On the directions of Punjab Food Authority Director General Irfan Memon, the authority has organized an awareness camp for transgender people on the role of diet in maintaining good health at Fountain House on Saturday.
A 20-member team comprised of expert nutritionists guided around 200 eunuchs about the dietary guidelines after their nutrition counselling. The experts have guided them to meet the iron and protein deficiencies which usually occurred in the human body due to routine work. A team of nutritionists also guided them in the camp for a better living style with principles.
Meanwhile, the team has conducted medical tests of eunuchs regarding weight, height blood pressures, body fat analysation and BMI. The team also distributed booklets and charts concerning diet plan/ information among participants.
PFA Director General Irfan Memon said that the creation of a healthy society is possible through awareness about the importance of healthy nutrition among people. He further said that we can control the diseases to spread awareness concerning the use of the best diet.
Fountain House Medical Superintendent Dr Syed Imran Murtaza said that the role of Punjab Food Authority to control the growing diseases due to the growing population with the food is admirable. He also appreciated PFA for sensitizing people about the selection of healthy and nutritious food through awareness camps.
