Unfortunately a few weeks ago a few of our handcrafts people were victims of eye and heart cardio-vascular severe problems that indicated the priority need for focusing on diabetes prevention, regular testing and a healthier lifestyle "en famille" to keep as fit as possible (as in Mauritius the ratio is one person on five is diabetic).
Use
specialized cookery books for diabetic recipes and read the scientific
nutritional information annexed to each recipe for food values and quantities
per eating portion.
| A series of virtual photos illustrate the interactive cooking session SPES carried out using a microwave partly equipped with a grill component to prepare a Health Menu. An “Hands-on” experience for our SPES Staff and the invited group of 20 ladies participants who had lost their jobs in textile factories, apparently several aspire at being re-skilled to learn to become carers perhaps for elders, children and mainly for people suffering from diabetes in need for proper food intake and monitoring. |
