In the foreword of the magazine, Near East Enterprises Board of Trustees Chairman Prof. Dr. İrfan Suat Günsel reminded that raising healthy life awareness to children at an early age is vital for the sustainability of public health. Prof. Dr. İrfan Suat Günsel said, “Children tend to maintain the healthy eating, regular exercise and hygiene habits they acquired in the first years of their lives throughout their lives. This awareness plays an important role in preventing chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes and heart diseases. As you, esteemed families, become aware of the health of your children, whom you care about, you can raise them in a peaceful and healthy environment, and positively affect their psychological and emotional development.”
