United for Healthier Kids (U4HK) an initiative that will contribute towards healthier children has been launched in the UAE.

U4HK aims to help parents establish healthier eating drinking and lifestyle habits for children aged 4-12 and offers game-changing education and fun ideas to inspire action and influence behaviour.

"Tackling childhood obesity rates must be a priority and the drive to do that can certainly benefit from the involvement of as many in the private and public sectors as possible" said Dr Nahla Hwalla Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture and Food Sciences at the American University of Beirut and scientific advisor for U4HK.

"The health of future generations concerns us and we believe that together we can make a difference" said Zeinab Maktabi Nutrition Health & Wellness Manager at Nestl Middle East and U4HK Lead.
