Vijay Social Welfare Society on July 17, 2021 organized a session with certified Dietician, Ms. Vandana Bagadiya. Ms. Bagadiya has had extensive experience with diet and nutrition. She has previously been a sport dietitian for MPCA, Indore, and currently is the vice president at Indore chapter of Indian Dietetic Association. The session was attended by 20-40 young children. Ms. Bagadiya implicitly focused on the importance of a good and fitting diet, especially in these trying times of the pandemic. With the health of a power point presentation, she explained to the children what an ideal diet for a particular age group or of a particular gender looked like. She began with explaining the basic difference between junk food and healthy food and why the latter is always the better diet of the two. But acknowledging the fact how junk food is so palatable and much more appealing to the young generation, she then emphasized on the fact that to maintain a healthy diet, one need not completely let go of their favorite foods. She then went on to illustrate fitting changes and healthy alternatives for otherwise unhealthy foods. Apart from dietary requirements, ma’am also emphasized on the requirement of a consistent physical activity to keep the calories balanced. Ma’am also illustrated on a diet that is fitting to ward off Covid-19.Keeping the session interactive, ma’am continued with taking question from children, answering them in a simplified language with utmost patience. It was a very insightful session with lots of learnings for the children.
