Build a Healthy Community
In the past few years, Meiriki Japan has established numbers of key activities, and carry on nutritional information to the community in order to improve the public's knowledge of healthy eating and promote well-being.
命力營全城 Promote Community Nutrition Education
A creative competition named “命力營全城” has been launched since 2014. It is organized by Meiriki Japan and co-organized by the Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences of The Chinese University of Hong Kong. This is the pioneer creative competition in Hong Kong to co-organize with the university to promote community-based nutrition education. The purpose of the competition is to provide a platform for students to apply their knowledge and their creativity to design a different community health promotion program to enhance the public’s health awareness and promote community health culture. The theme is different every year, including “5 most common urban diseases in Hong Kong”, “Happy Aging Healthy Aging , “Stay Young” and “Healthy Eating: Decluttering”.
