NASSAU, Bahamas – Health Education Officers at the Ministry of Health, spoke to students at the Stephen Dillet Primary School, Friday, January 24, 2020, about eating a proper and balanced diet so that they could avoid the risk factors for Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD’s), which are of serious concern in children in The Bahamas due to poor nutrition and physical inactivity.  Addressing these risk factors are important to avoiding the onset of NCD’s and to protect well-being into adulthood.  The event was part of the Ministry of Health’s Let’s Move Campaign: Reducing Childhood Obesity.  After an interactive discussion, the children went to Windsor Park to get some physical activity.   (BIS Photo/Llonella Gilbert)
