The emphasis on healthy lifestyle should start at a
young age. With this in view and in consonance with the Theme of the Year –
Health is Wealth; Witty International School conducted a workshop on ‘Healthy
Living’ for students of Grade I to IV on Wednesday, 22nd July, 2015.
Children have their own unique nutrient needs and meeting
those needs is vital for a child to grow up big, strong and healthy. A child’s
diet should consist of a variety of foods that contain a range of
nutrients. Keeping this in mind, our guest speaker Mrs. Reshma Gulati provided
nutrition information through the five foods groups: breads and grains, meat
and beans, fruits and vegetables, milk and milk substitutes, and fats and oils.
Students discussed their eating habits. Students were made
aware of the harmful effects of junk food that sets the stage for an unhealthy
lifestyle and how children quickly become addicted to such foods.
Students were
encouraged to switch to living a healthy lifestyle and enjoy a long beautiful
life. They promised to eat more vegetables, fruits, juices and wholegrain
foods.
