Launch of The 3 Fives campaign for the Olympic Games

On 10 March 2008 the World Health Organization (WHO), together with Chinese authorities, introduced a new health promotion campaign on health benefits of food safety, healthy diets and appropriate physical activities in connection to the 2008 Beijing Olympics Games.

The 3 Fives: Five Keys to Safer Food, Five Keys to a Healthy Diet, Five Keys to Appropriate Physical Activity, primarily provides simple messages on what to consume to stay healthy, how to prepare food safely and how to keep moving to stay in good shape.

The 3 Fives campaign will be further promoted to the rest of China and to the rest of the world before and after the Games in August.
