Nutrition to support treatment
Nutrition is critical for every child. Especially when treatment is underway, nutrition becomes the foundation for every treatment to succeed. HOPE project that caters to children fighting against cancer, organized a Nutrition Counseling session, along with a cooking demonstration on 7th January 2015 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Mumbai Smiles office. The event was attended by the beneficiaries as well as their parents. The main objective of the event was to help the parents prepare a variety of food items that can fulfill the nutritional requirements of the children. The children were also given dry fruits to supplement the nutritional diet of their children.The session was conducted by Ms. Bhagyada from FMCH (Foundation for mother and child health) and in total 28 participants attended the session. The program started with a warm welcome by our EDI, who wished everyone a happy new-year. This was the first session of 2015.
The trainer emphasized the importance of balanced nutrition and described how to manage food and health in simple way. For her cooking demo, she made one sweet dish (Rajgeera Kheer with dry fruits), multi grain cutlets (grains, vegetables etc.) and a soup (jawar, vegetables).
