Celebrating the National Nutrition Week, Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS), Secunderabad organized an awareness program for the general public to help understand the nutritional requirements – Infants to geriatrics. This program included the demonstration of healthier recipes, nutrition charts and pep talks on healthy eating. The main aim behind this program was to Help people to choose wisely for better health.

 National Nutrition month is usually celebrated in the first week (September 1-7) to create awareness among people regarding nutrition. A Healthy Recipe exhibition was conducted on 7th September 2019 in which the Food and Nutrition department of KIMS hospitals has demonstrated some healthy recipes like Rainbow Pizza, Multigrain Rotis, Parathas and Dosas. The team successfully displayed the healthy ways and recipes which will grab the attention of toddlers and kids and the proportions in which each ingredient needs to be added for healthier life during old age. The nutritionists also explained the advantages of different ingredients like flax seeds, oats, semolina, lentils, fruits, and vegetables, etc.

Speaking on the occasion, MS. Tulasi, Consultant Nutritionist, KIMS Hospitals said, “Our program was to make everyone aware of well-being and healthy eating. Small changes in the diet can have a cumulative healthful effect. Nutrition doesn't have to be overwhelming or just eating raw foods. It is important to make informed food choices and develop the habit of healthy eating and physical activity.”
