Sharjah 24: Shatha Omar, a nutritionist with the Supreme Council for Family Affairs in Sharjah's (SCFA) Health Education Department, revealed that the department organised many programmes aimed at the Seniors' category honouring the International Day for Older Persons and the Department paid a visit to the Social Services Department's Seniors' Care Home in Sharjah to increase awareness among the senior citizens about proper diet and strategies to stay active and lively.
Pedometers and other digital devices were handed to senior citizens as part of the initiative's "digital equality for all ages," according to Omar, who revealed to "Sharjah 24” that the initiative also included awareness brochures aimed at encouraging and motivating senior citizens to practice healthy habits.
