World Heart Day
‘Nutrifacts –
Unlocking Good Health’ Workshop
Exercise
is King. Nutrition is Queen. Put them together and you've got a kingdom.
Nutrition
is one of the primary aspects in today’s lifestyle. Witty Kids has always
emphasized on helping students learn the importance of healthy eating through
balanced meals and nutrition education. Staying away from junk food can be
difficult for most of us. So to get that little spark, ‘Nutrifacts- Unlocking Good
Health' workshop was conducted for students of Grade I to V on the occasion of
World Heart Day.
Guest
speakers Mrs. Shikha Gala and Ms Tareshi Dixit helped students understand that
healthy eating helps
in keeping the body strong, full of energy and working at its best. This
requires eating a variety of foods from the five foods group. Students were
given tips on healthy eating such as eating a variety of foods from the 5 food groups every day will give them all
the energy, vitamins and minerals the body needs. To go slow on the sugary and
fatty foods, like lollies, soft drink, chips and fried foods which can be
unhealthy and make them put on weight. To eat mindfully, being more
aware of chewing and tasting what we eat so that the brain can register the
incoming nutrients.
Students
were made aware of the harmful effects of junk food that sets the stage for an
unhealthy lifestyle and how one gets quickly addicted to such foods. Students discussed their eating habits and
promised to eat more vegetables, fruits, juices and wholegrain foods. The
workshop encouraged students to switch to living a healthy lifestyle and enjoy
a beautiful life.
