The Hasbaya Medical Social Center at the National Wellness Network (NWN) hosted an interactive nutrition and health-awareness workshop on October 30 titled "Your Health Is in Your Hands! Small Habits, a Balanced Plate, Smarter Choices."

Clinical Dietitian Mrs. Sabrine Bahmad Alkazaz led the session, focusing on practical ways to build a balanced diet and understand key health indicators. Mrs. Alkazaz brings more than nine years of clinical experience as a pre- and post-natal care consultant, an expert with Helpdose, and a practitioner on the Docleb Pro platform.

Nutrition and Public Health students from the Faculty of Health Sciences at MUBS played a key role during the hands-on portion of the event. As volunteers, they ran basic health checks for participants, measuring blood pressure, blood glucose levels, waist circumference, height, and BMI. These measurements gave attendees immediate insight into their baseline health indicators.

To help participants stay on track after the session, the students also created and distributed a Weekly Health Tracker. The tool gives attendees a simple way to log their daily habits and pay closer attention to their routine health choices.

Through discussions and direct health checks, participants learned how small adjustments in their daily routines can result in better health, reflecting NWN’s focus on community health education and preventive care.

This workshop affirms MUBS’s commitment to UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), SDG 4 (Quality Education), and SDG 17 (Partnerships to Achieve the Goals).
