Learn from dietitians: eat healthy

A dietitian from QMH demonstrates cooking of healthy dishes.

Queen Mary Hospital (QMH) organises weight reduction classes every month for overweight patients aged 18 to 65 years old referred by doctors. Dietitians teach patients how to choose suitable food and suggest healthy menus, give cooking demonstration on high fibre, low sugar and low fat dishes; and physiotherapists recommend fitness exercises. Besides, patients can also make separate appointments to consult dietitians for follow-up.
