Your body is a reflection of what you eat. Treat food as a fuel for your body and not something to kill your boredom or double your celebrations. Pooja Makhija, Nutritionist

Celebrating the day with celebrity nutritionist

Mount Litera Zee School celebrated ‘mothers’ by organising a special event — Mom, Meals and Me, featuring celebrity nutritionist Pooja Makhija as the keynote speaker of the day.

“Your body is a reflection of what you eat. Treat food as a fuel for your body and not something to kill your boredom or double your celebrations,” she advised. “My book, N for Nourish, is one wonderful means of teaching children about the right diet and nutrition,” she said, while talking about her recent publication. She also shared that parents have to find interesting ways to instil in children a love for fruits and green vegetables right from childhood. “I used to give references to my daughters’ favourite stories such as “Have strawberries if you want rosy cheeks like Snow White,” shared Makhija. In addition to Pooja Makhija’s interaction with mothers, the event also featured a singing performance, dance performance and a stand-up by students of Mount Litera.
