Doctors in Qatar are once again urging residents to eat in moderation during the Eid Al Adha holidays to avoid getting sick and landing in the emergency room.

In a statement yesterday, Hamad Medical Corp. (HMC) reminded people it is ok to refuse extra sweets and food while visiting friends and family. HMC also advocated not skipping breakfast, avoiding eating heavy fatty foods and staying hydrated throughout Eid day, which is on Sept. 12.
