    After long working hours, during casual meet-ups with friends to unwind from a stressful week, on rushed afternoons when the lunchbox gets forgotten, after a movie, or while shopping—many of us have stood confused, wondering: Burger or pizza? For both children and adults, junk food has quietly become an unavoidable answer to the daily question, “What should we eat today?” Especially in countries like the UAE, the rapid rise of fast-food outlets and online delivery platforms has made junk food available at our fingertips, anytime. But how aware are we of the health risks hidden behind this convenience and taste? What Is Junk Food? When we hear the term junk food, burgers and pizzas are usually the first things that come to mind. The word junk itself gives away the meaning—foods that offer little to no real benefit to the body. To explain further, junk foods are typically: High in unhealthy fats (saturated and trans fats), sugar, and salt Extremely calorie-dense, sometimes providing an entire day’s calorie requirement in a single serving Very low in essential nutrients like protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals Importantly, these foods don’t become healthy just because they are prepared at home. Burgers, fries, pizzas, or desserts cooked at home still fall under “homemade junk food”—they may be tastier or fresher, but they are not necessarily healthy. Carbonated soft drinks, packaged fruit juices with added sugar and no fiber also belong to this category. Commonly Overlooked Junk Foods A common misconception—even among health-aware individuals—is that everything made at home or sold as “quick food” is healthy. Foods such as: Instant noodles Breakfast cereals Packaged soups Chicken nuggets, French fries, hot dogs Frozen pizzas and burgers Trending social-media recipes loaded with cream, condensed milk, and cheese All fall into the junk or ultra-processed food category. Additionally, ultra-processed foods include chips, cookies, crackers, candies, cake mixes, ice creams, flavored yogurts, energy drinks, and even some protein bars—products enhanced with artificial flavors, preservatives, excess sugar, and fats. When Does Junk Food Become a Villain? Back home, junk food may have been an occasional indulgence—something eaten only when dining out. But in the UAE, these foods are available anytime, anywhere, making overconsumption far more likely. When frequent junk food intake is combined with a lack of physical activity, it can lead to: Obesity High cholesterol Diabetes High blood pressure Fatty liver disease An increase in bad cholesterol raises the risk of heart disease. In women and young girls, obesity and inactivity can cause hormonal imbalances. In children, nutrient-poor diets can result in poor growth, reduced immunity, and excessive weight gain. Studies also suggest that excessive junk food consumption may contribute to fatigue, poor concentration, and even depression. High-sugar foods and beverages further increase the risk of dental problems. How Can We Make Better Choices? Occasional indulgence is not the real issue—making junk food a daily habit is. We often enjoy French fries far more than a simple home-cooked potato dish, and children are even more drawn to these foods. While the UAE government has taken steps such as banning junk food in school canteens and restricting unhealthy food deliveries during school hours, real change must begin at home. Small but effective changes include: Limit junk food to two or three times a month and avoid replacing main meals with it Avoid eating while watching TV or using mobile phones Reduce oil and sugar even in home-cooked meals Avoid long gaps between meals to prevent overeating; include fruits, nuts, and salads as snacks Choose whole fruits instead of bottled juices, or consume fresh juice without added sugar and with pulp Drink plenty of water; limit tea and coffee to one or two cups a day and completely avoid energy drinks Read food labels carefully, checking sugar, salt, fat, and calorie content Reduce food-spot hopping and the urge to try everything seen on social media Shop with a clear plan and a prepared list to avoid impulsive unhealthy purchases Let the food we eat become a gateway to good health—not an invitation to disease.

The 12-week ‘Win a Dream Home’ campaign saw massive participation across the Emirates, reflecting the brand’s deep community engagement.

DUBAI — Shaklan Group, a prominent UAE-based diversified retail conglomerate, has officially concluded its highly anticipated 12-week “Win a Dream Home” campaign with a grand prize distribution ceremony in Dubai. The three-month-long retail promotion, which ran from December 23, 2025, to March 22, 2026, culminated in life-changing rewards for the mega-prize winners, reinforcing the brand’s standing among the global and Gulf Malayali diaspora as a customer-centric retail giant.

The highlight of the landmark ceremony was the presentation of a luxury residential apartment in Dubai to the grand prize winner, Natasha Peter. In addition to the dream home, another lucky shopper, Suraj Singh, was celebrated and presented with the keys to a brand-new JAC JS4 SUV, adding to the grandeur of the event.


Leadership Commends Customer Loyalty

The prize distribution ceremony was attended by members of the media alongside the senior leadership of the Shaklan Group. The executive team was led by Managing Director Aboo Haris, Chief Executive Officer Sameer MP, and Executive Director Shameel Salam.

Also present to honor the winners were Board Members Nihal Nasar and Aadil Aboo Haris, accompanied by General Manager Abdul Rasheed KK, Operations Manager Shajimon P, and Finance Manager Shafeeq VP.

Speaking on the grand success of the initiative, Aboo Haris, Managing Director of Shaklan Group, emphasized the organization’s commitment to its patron community:

“This ceremony represents the heart of what Shaklan Group stands for. Our mission has always been to provide world-class consumer goods and fresh food to our customers through an engaging and satisfying shopping experience. Seeing our customers’ dreams come true today is a testament to the community that has supported our vision since 1997. We are deeply grateful for their loyalty and trust.”


A Milestone in Retail Engagement

The “Win a Dream Home” initiative established itself as one of the largest customer engagement campaigns in the region’s retail sector. To enter the grand raffle, shoppers were required to make a minimum purchase of AED 50 across any Shaklan outlet. Throughout the 12-week promotional window, the campaign maintained high consumer momentum by giving away weekly rewards, including the latest iPhone 17 models, before concluding with the mega draw for the vehicle and the luxury apartment.

The widespread participation from both residents and expatriates underscores Shaklan Group’s robust retail footprint. Established in 1997, the group has expanded steadily over nearly three decades, evolving from a local enterprise into a progressive, value-driven network of supermarkets, hypermarkets, and department stores across the United Arab Emirates.
