CENTRAL SUGARS REFINERY AND NADI BRINGS 'HEALTHY LIFESTYLE, FIGHT DIABETES' ROADSHOW TO BATU PAHAT,JOHOR | The two-day ‘Promote Healthy Lifestyle, Fight Diabetes’ roadshow organised by the National Diabetes Institute, Malaysia (NADI) and supported by Central Sugars Refinery Sdn Bhd (CSR), has begun today at Dewan Orang Ramai, Jalan Chan Peck Guan, Taman Rona, Parit Raja, Batu Pahat, Johor.

The roadshow, which takes place from 9:00am to 5:00pm, is aimed at promoting a healthy lifestyle among rural and urban Malaysian communities; educating the public on the effects of diabetes and the importance of consuming sugar responsibly in accordance to our lifestyles. Free health screenings, consultations and activities such as exercise, taste challenges and activities for children will be conducted for families attending.

Recognising the need to engage the community and spread the message of consuming sugar responsibly and healthy living, CSR signed a partnership with NADI in October 2018 to work together to carry out various health-related activities for Malaysians across the country. This includes six roadshows around the country per year as well as advertorials in the NADI Diabetes magazine. The program will focus on Better Brown Low G Sugar that CSR launched in November 2018 aimed to provide customers with the better and healthier choice to replace white sugar, addressing market demand for much healthier options. 

“At CSR, we believe in sharing the importance of healthy living and consuming sugar responsibility in accordance to our lifestyles. We are proud to have this opportunity to collaborate with NADI in this wonderful ‘Promote Healthy Lifestyle, Fight Diabetes’ campaign. Through this partnership, we are able to reach out to Malaysians, to share the importance of living an active lifestyle with regular exercise, to monitor our food intake through measures such as practicing a low GI diet and most importantly to consumer sugar responsibly,” said Hishammudin Hasan, Chief Executive Officer of CSR. 

Speaking on the importance of a healthy lifestyle and combating diabetes, Emeritus Professor Dato' Dr. Mustaffa Embong, Executive Chairman (Honorary) of NADI, said: “Prevention is key. It is crucial to start taking precautionary measures to curb diabetes and other associated conditions by practicing a healthier lifestyle through regular exercise and monitoring your diet. Our focus remains the same and together with the support of CSR, we want to continue to engage with Malaysians throughout the country to inform them on the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle and to proactively monitoring their health.” 

The ‘Promote Healthy Lifestyle, Fight Diabetes’ Programme will be making its round nationwide to other states. The next one roadshow will be held in Alor Setar Mall on 14 to 15 June 2019. The roadshow is open to all members of the general public.
