The Thai Health Promotion Foundation (ThaiHealth) has officially opened the 19th National Nutrition Conference, with the key goal of promoting better health for Thai people through the adjustment of daily dietary habits.

This conference focuses on supporting knowledge, research, and new innovations in nutrition to be used as guidelines for addressing the health problems of Thai people, particularly the reduction of sugar, fat, and salt intake, which are the primary causes of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.

In addition, ThaiHealth is working with various partner networks to push for important public measures and policies, such as supporting a tax on high-sugar beverages to control sugar levels in various products and creating an environment that encourages the public to choose healthy food options.

The event also serves as a platform for exchanging knowledge among experts and relevant agencies to find ways to drive nutrition policies toward concrete results nationwide. It is expected that this collaboration will help reduce the illness rate of Thai people in the long term.

In conclusion, this National Nutrition Conference is considered a significant step in raising awareness about proper eating habits, aiming to improve the quality of life for Thai people and reduce the country's healthcare expenditure burden.
