Food And Nutrition For A Good Health

By George Obua | Project Leader

Students are trained on how cook & eat good food

Food and Nutrition for a good health

At the Institute of Home Economics of Kole Intellectual Forum, basically at course of Food and Nutrition, the training is advocating that: eating a wide variety of nutritious foods, including fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and lean protein can help support ones overall health.

And the students are made aware of 8 tips for healthy eating, that includes:

Base your meals on higher fibre starchy carbohydrates,
Eat lots of fruit and vegetables,
Eat more fish, including a portion of oily fish,
Cut down on saturated fat and sugar.
Eat less salt: no more than 6g a day for adults,
Get active and be a healthy weight,
Do not get thirsty,
Do not skip breakfast.

Kole Institute of Home Economics believes that the learning is best understood when it is done practically; the students are made to cook by themselves and eating the practical food by themselves.
