Al-Azhar hosts nutrition and mental health forum
The article focused on Al-Azhar Al-Sharif's role in promoting health awareness through proper nutrition and its relation to mental health. This was achieved via an educational forum that connected religious guidance with psychological and behavioral advice. Participants emphasized that proper nutrition is not limited to knowing calorie counts but also involves understanding the relationship between food and emotions, as psychological stress can lead to "emotional eating," which impacts both mental and physical health. They called for adopting practices such as mindfulness while eating and avoiding excess. It was affirmed that caring for physical health is a religious principle related to safeguarding life, and that food and adherence to religious teachings reinforce positive behavior and uphold the aims of Sharia. The forum highlighted the importance of dietary diversity and moderation, with particular attention to foods mentioned in the Quran, such as honey and dates. It also stressed the vital role of mothers in educating their families about the benefits of balanced nutrition.
