Portugal co-hosted the parallel session on “Tackling childhood overweight and obesity in the WHO European Region” of the #RC72TLV. It was a great pleasure co-chair this session and to present the Portuguese experience in tacking childhood obesity. @WHO_Europe_RHN

Marketing of unhealthy food to children (including via digital tools) is a major driver of childhood obesity

Creating healthy food environments should be a top priority and governments have a key role to play

Worldwide, approximately 1 in 5 deaths are linked to poor diet. Last summer, together with @saude_pt we started an important discussion on how the digital environment influences our food choices, and how to harness these technologies to tackle #obesity 👉https://t.co/mMG6Zi3LQg

@ricmexia @davsrodrigues @RuiRioPSD @DGSaude A Orientação 021/2020 da DGS diz respeito à terapia nutricional do doente com COVID-19 que se encontra hospitalizado, em particular do doente crítico, onde o suporte nutricional tem naturalmente outras particularidades.

[Maria João Gregório @MariaJooGregri1]

@ricmexia @davsrodrigues @RuiRioPSD @DGSaude A Orientação 021/2020 da DGS em nada se aplica à utilização de suplementos nutricionais pela população em geral. Aliás, o PNPAS, desde muito cedo se pronunciou a este respeito, reforçando que não existe nenhum alimento/nutriente que possa prevenir/ajudar no tratamento da COVID-19

[Maria João Gregório @MariaJooGregri1]

On the World Obesity Day, WHO highlight the success of Portugal in tackling childhood obesity. The Portuguese Sugary Drinks Tax was an important step. https://t.co/uYEWOl0U3p
