Nutrition Month Malaysia 2024

Change Mindset to Prevent Diet-Related Diseases

In Malaysia, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have remained a significant health concern for years. Hence, promoting awareness about healthy living is crucial and efforts to spread this message have been ongoing for decades. However, despite our awareness of the benefits of a healthier lifestyle through healthy diet and physical activities, NCD cases in Malaysia still continue to rise. This is largely because many still choose to ignore the importance of leading a healthy and active life. Many individuals do not go for regular health screening and are oblivious about the diseases and their risk factors until it is too late. We cannot wait anymore - it is time to change our mindset and take action to PREVENT NCDs!

Here is where Nutrition Month Malaysia (NMM) plays a role as a programme designed to promote a healthier lifestyle among the public for the past 22 years. With a diverse range of engaging activities, and illuminating information tailored to all age groups, NMM aims to inspire individuals to embrace positive changes.

NMM 2024 is a collaborative effort of three professional bodies, the government and corporate companies with the mission to implement activities that encourage the public to take charge of their health by practising healthy nutrition and an active lifestyle.

The chosen theme for NMM 2024 “Change Mindset to Prevent Diet Related Diseases” highlights the importance of a broad-based approach in encouraging the public to have a change of mindset towards prevention of diet-related nutritional disorders and provide guidance for the adoption of healthy eating and active living practices.

Let's embark on this journey to wellness now! By taking small, yet consistent steps, we can gradually transition to a healthier lifestyle.

Come join us and have fun learning about nutrition.
