Recently, an activity organized by the Operations Department of Guangdong Technion-Israel Institute of Technology (GTIIT) was held in both canteens of the North and South campus, to promote a nutritious and balanced diet among students and explore scientific ways of health. Professionals were invited to clear the doubts for students.

Many students were attracted to the activity, with a crowd in the booth. A variety of quizzes and lucky draw sessions ignited the enthusiasm of students to participate and allowed them to understand healthy eating vividly.

At the event site, the staff distributed nutritional dietary manuals to the participants, and the students consulted the doctors around breakfast issues, weight loss, stomach discomfort, etc. The doctors patiently answered questions for them and put forward suggestions on diet based on the individual.

Chen Fu, deputy chief physician of the Clinical Nutrition Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College, said young people should remain attentive in healthy diet especially under greater pressure. She detailed the Chinese Food Guide Pagoda, and stressed the importance of eating breakfast and vegetables, and not substituting juice for fresh fruit.

The activity ended in a warm atmosphere. It raised students' awareness of balanced eating and contributed to a healthy eating environment on campus.
