As part of the Continuing Education Unit’s activities and its ongoing efforts to promote health awareness, the College of Nursing at the University of Baghdad held a training course titled “Healthy Eating and Menopause,” presented by Assistant Professor Dr. Aqdas Daoud Salman. The course addressed key health and nutritional topics relevant to women during this important transitional phase of their lives.
The course aimed to enable participants to understand the basic principles of the hormonal changes that occur in women as they reach the “Age of Hope,” also known as menopause, with a focus on raising awareness of the importance of proper nutrition to alleviate symptoms that cause anxiety and physical and mental exhaustion resulting from decreased levels of the hormones estrogen and progesterone, as well as equipping attendees with sufficient knowledge on how to select foods appropriate in both type and quantity to maintain women’s health and vitality.
This course is being organized as part of the College of Nursing at the University of Baghdad’s commitment to continuing to implement continuing education programs, advancing health knowledge, and raising community awareness of issues related to women’s health, thereby actively contributing to the improvement of educational and preventive services provided to the community, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 3 on good health and well-being, Goal 4 on quality education, and Goal 5 on women’s empowerment and reproductive health.
