The Nutrition and Health Department in the College of Food and Agriculture at the United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) organized an exhibition on healthy lifestyles, in the presence of Dr. Ayesha Al Dhaheri, head of the department, faculty and students on Sunday 24^th May, 2015. It was held in the food court on the female campus in Al Ain.

Dr. Al Dhaheri said that this exhibition reflects the role of the university in society. UAEU seeks to strengthen the transfer of skills in a variety of social arenas and in the wider community. We are aware through many newspapers articles and magazines specializing in food and health issues that there are many issues to address concerning excessive consumption, poor fitness levels and a healthy diet.

She added that the exhibition aimed to increase awareness and educate staff, students and university community members about the importance of healthy food. This should focus on the most important vitamins such as calcium for healthy bones. She noted many important foodstuffs that are good for such issues as liver function, or help to reduce weight, such as pineapples.
