The EP Discipline Department organized a healthcare project for Primary 1 to Secondary 6 students. The Discipline team invited healthcare professionals from Sikarin Hospital to conduct a seminar regarding a healthy lifestyle from the 7th to the 28th of August 2024, held at EP Discovery Center.

This project encourages students to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as other foods including whole grains, fiber, protein, and more, as part of a balanced diet to strengthen the body’s immune system. The seminar emphasized how important proper nutrition is, for our body and mind. The EP Discipline department believes that having a nourishing diet will help the students to have a strong and resilient healthy body and brain for their daily learning activities.

At the end of the seminar, the Sikarin healthcare professionals asked questions and the students answered them confidently. Many students participated in the Q&A and even received some prizes.

According to Hippocrates, the ancient Greek physician, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”. This statement signifies the importance of nutrition in promoting and maintaining good health. It is a reminder to all of us that we need to take good care of our health by eating nutritious food, otherwise we will eat medicine as our food if we neglect healthy food in our snacks and meals.

The EP Discipline Department would like to thank the Sikarin healthcare professionals for sharing their wisdom, regarding healthy lifestyles, and proper nutrition for maintaining a healthy body and mind.
