How I've been passing the time: Smelling the lavender and baking Crunchie cookies from classic South African cookbook "Kook en Geniet"
It may sound like a cliche, but it’s true, we are living in a very difficult and unsure time, and it’s okay to not be okay. It’s hard enough just to stay home without having to challenge yourself to do 50 push-ups every day or learn some complicated yoga pose. You don’t have to follow some complicated and restrictive diet right now, I mean, you should avoid going to the supermarket and the shelves are almost empty in any case! Eating for comfort really isn’t that bad an idea. We as humans are hardwired to derive pleasure from our food, so why not show some selfcare and eat something delicious!

Seminar on child nutrition for preschool teachers

23/10/2018

0 Comments

 
Last week I presented a seminar on child nutrition to creche and preschool teachers as part of a week long workshop. We discussed the purpose of different nutrients for children, healthy and affordable food for children from less privileged backgrounds, and how to pack a healthy lunchbox. The women also made beautiful shapes and posters as learning aids for their classes, and advanced their story telling skills, amongst other new skills to help them shape the future generations!

What a great privilege to be a part of this blessed workshop!

    I am a registered dietitian, and this is my blog.

    Please don't see it as anything other than a blog; general information, snippets that I find interesting, and recipes that I enjoy. It is not meant to replace individual healthcare from myself or other healthcare professionals.
