Strengthening Health Through Nutrition with SMOU

On 26^th May 2022, SMOU invited speaker Ms Jenny Goh, a certified senior nutritionist at Fitness and Health International Pte Ltd, to conduct a Nutrition talk for members so that they can learn more about how to eat well for better immunity. Close to 20 members attended the workshop, which took place virtually on the Zoom platform.

Ms Jenny brought participants through the basics of maintaining body health by sharing with them the importance of different types of vitamins and the various foods from which they can derive these vitamins. Ms Jenny also shared simple and healthy meal recipes with members to promote better health through proper nutrition. She also stressed to members the importance of the principle of “eating in moderation.”

The talk ended with a Question and Answer (Q&A) segment for members to raise any health-related queries or concerns that they might have, and have them answered by Ms Jenny.

“My wife and I cook frequent meals at home, and attending this talk has increased our knowledge on food, vitamins, and our bodies. We even picked up some healthy recipes to cook! Thank you, SMOU, for organising this talk.”

– Mr Sunil, an SMOU member of 10 years

“Attending this nutrition talk was a nice first experience for me, as it was very interesting and informative. I learned what I should do to lead a healthy lifestyle and even discovered the different ways to cook healthy. I hope to attend more of these talks by SMOU in future!”

– Mdm Tan, SMOU member of 6 years
