Orange Jordan Organizes Awareness Session to Promote Inclusion for Persons with Disabilities
Orange Jordan, aligning with its commitment towards inclusion, organized an awareness session titled 'Skills for Interacting with Persons with Disabilities' in collaboration with the Jordan Paralympic Committee. It was held at the Innovation Hub in Orange Digital Village in Abdali.
The session aimed to raise awareness about the importance of including persons with disabilities and enriching their experiences to empower them to play a pivotal role in their communities. It also shed light on several key topics, namely accurate PWD-related terminology, types of disabilities encountered in the workplace, and the psychological and health aspects of persons with disabilities. In this context, the session focused on the best practices for effective interaction and communication, while explaining the differences between inclusion, integration, and containment, supported by practical examples demonstrating how to put these concepts into practice.
The workshop was presented by the President of the Jordan Paralympic Committee, Dean of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport Sciences at Hashemite University, Professor Dr. Omar Hindawi. He shared his rich experience and inspiring success stories, along with insights about the integrated roles that both institutions and individuals should play to create an inclusive society across all sectors.
This step came as part of the extended partnership that ties Orange Jordan and the Jordan Paralympic Committee, based on their shared vision of empowering persons with disabilities and providing them with opportunities to explore their potential and talents. This will lead to a supportive and inclusive society, thereby contributing to the sustainable national development.

Health Surprise: Eggs May Reduce Alzheimer's Risk in Seniors! - Jordan News
Health Surprise: Eggs May Reduce Alzheimer's Risk in Seniors! As the world continues to face the rising tide of Alzheimer's disease and age-related cognitive decline, researchers are increasingly exploring everyday lifestyle choices and dietary habits that could help protect against early mental deterioration. One such simple food—eggs—has come into the spotlight. A recent study published in the Journal of Nutrition, based on exclusive data from a research sample, suggests that eating more than one egg per week may significantly reduce the risk of Alzheimer's in older adults. اضافة اعلان What is Alzheimer's Disease? According to the National Institute on Aging, Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia—a brain disorder that gradually destroys a person's memory and thinking skills. Symptoms include loss of cognitive functions such as reasoning, memory, and judgment. It's also common for individuals to have more than one type of dementia; for example, someone may have both Alzheimer's and vascular dementia. Inside the Study: Examining the Link Between Egg Consumption and Brain Health The study, titled 'Association Between Egg Consumption and Risk of Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease in Older Adults,' tracked more than 1,024 adults (average age: 81.4 years), all of whom were dementia-free at the beginning of the 7-year study. Their diets were evaluated using a validated food frequency questionnaire, and cognitive performance was assessed annually. By the end of the study, 280 participants had developed Alzheimer's-related dementia. However, those who consumed more than one egg per week were nearly 50% less likely to develop the disease compared to those who ate fewer eggs. Why Eggs? What Makes Them Brain-Friendly? A key factor highlighted in the research is choline—a vital nutrient found abundantly in eggs. Though not a vitamin, choline functions like one, playing a crucial role in supporting brain and body function. While the body produces a small amount of choline, the majority comes from food. In addition to brain health, choline helps reduce inflammation, regulate mood and mental health, support muscle function, and assist in fat metabolism. Other Dietary Sources of Choline Include: Eggs (especially the yolk) Fish (like salmon and tuna) Chicken or turkey Milk and other dairy products Risk of Alzheimer's and Neurological Diseases: Additional Findings Researchers also conducted autopsies on the brains of 578 deceased participants. The findings were striking: Reduced Amyloid Plaques – Protein build-ups strongly linked to Alzheimer's. Fewer Neurofibrillary Tangles – Twisted fibers inside brain cells that impair brain function and contribute to cognitive decline. What Did the Researchers Conclude? The results suggest that regular egg consumption is associated with a lower risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease, with dietary choline playing a key role. As scientists continue to explore the impact of nutrition on brain health, studies like this underscore the powerful potential of simple, accessible dietary choices—like eating eggs—to support long-term cognitive well-being.
