Eat right with every bite - Poshan Maah at Podar World School Sherkhi
National Nutrition Week was observed from 1st September to 7th September at Podar World School Sherkhi. The theme for National Nutrition Week 2022 is 'Celebrate a World of Flavours'. Under the guidance of Principal Ms. Preeta Pillai, the week was celebrated to highlight the importance and role of the right nutrition for the human body and why it is important to have a balanced diet with a combination of essential nutrients.
Activities were conducted for all students which centred around right nutrition. Awareness was created among the students on the importance of nutrition, balanced diet, having a healthy mind, body and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Students dressed as food items and introduced themselves with the name and the nutrients. This was a wonderful form of experiential learning. Students learnt nutritional benefits through a quiz focussed on eating healthy combination of food, maintaining timings and the appropriate portions to be eaten. Emphasis was laid on immunity boosting recipes to help strengthen their immunity. Students presented speeches on the importance of nutrition and the need for everyone to follow it. Ms.Aditi Joshi , the school nutritionist addressed the students explaining them about healthy food and leading a healthy lifestyle.
It was a highly eventful nutritive week. Students could recognize the importance of including various fruits and vegetables and pledged to follow, healthy habits and eat nutritive food to keep themselves healthy. This is a mindset that one needs to develop from a very young age and lead the children in developing good and healthy habits. Like the saying goes “Prevention is better than Cure”
