Doha, Qatar: The Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC) urged the public to adopt healthy habits that promote physical and mental wellbeing during the Eid holidays.

The Corporation in a social media post stated the importance of moderation in food consumption during the Eid celebrations, noting that overeating may lead to digestive disorders and feelings of lethargy.

It encouraged residents to choose healthier cooking methods such as grilling or boiling food while reducing fat and salt intake to support heart health and overall body wellness.

PHCC further emphasized on adequate sleep and rest during the Eid holiday as proper rest contributes to better mental wellbeing and helps maintain energy and vitality throughout the day.

The Corporation advised parents to encourage children to engage in physical activities and outdoor play during the holiday period, adding that such activities help release energy and support both physical and mental health.
