Announcement: Poster campaign calls for healthy eating and more workout

28 Jan 2011 (Fri)

To encourage the public to adopt a healthy lifestyle, the Department of Health is embarking on a poster campaign (until 10 March 2011) at multiple bus stops all around Hong Kong as well as on the bodies of tramcars.

The poster features a Chinese (Cantonese) word '叻' [ smart ], which is made up of '口' [ mouth ] and '力' [ effort ]. It signifies that healthy eating along with efforts for more physical activities will make a smart person. This health message is spelt out by the slogan '食得健康，出力運動，你好叻！' [ Healthy Eating, More Workout, You’re so Smart! ] so as to motivate the public to make changes towards a healthier lifestyle, especially those who have not made changes in their lifestyle before.

So, try to plan for a healthier start in the Year of the Rabbit and make efforts in eating healthier and becoming more active. Be proud of yourself and tell others '我好叻！' [ I'm so Smart! ].
