Free clinical-nutritional assessments, diet therapy, and exercise education consultations will be available to the public on Monday, March 4th at Casa della Salute Livorno Sud in Via del Mare. This initiative is in recognition of World Obesity Day, with a focus on raising awareness and providing support for individuals struggling with obesity.
Graziano Di Cianni, director of Corporate Diabetology and Coordinator of the Regional Diabetology Commission, emphasized the need for diverse strategies to combat obesity, as it is a complex condition influenced by multiple factors. The Ministry of Health‘s National Prevention Plan recognizes the serious health implications of obesity, including its associations with chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.
On the day of the event, participants will have the opportunity to receive personalized assessments, weight and abdominal circumference measurements, dietary advice, exercise recommendations, and information about outpatient programs for obese individuals. The Casa della Salute Livorno Sud aims to be a comprehensive resource for specialized care, offering services that were previously only available in hospital settings.
Notable experts such as Graziano Di Cianni, Cinzia Porrà, Carmine Di Muro, Paola Orsini, Alice Barale, and Elena Bacci will be present to provide guidance and support during the prevention afternoon. The event underscores the importance of addressing obesity through a holistic approach that involves healthcare professionals from different disciplines.
This initiative highlights the commitment of Casa della Salute Livorno Sud to promoting health and well-being within the community, and serves as a reminder of the significance of preventive measures in combating obesity and its associated health risks.
