Vitamins, Veggies & Germs ...OH my!

 Another training on basic nutrition, exercise and illness prevention at Lake Coatepeque yesterday!  This audience was a community group (about 30) from the surrounding areas and organized by the local clinic.  Many participants asked questions and all helped plan balanced meals with the faux food we had available.
Watch out for angry oranges!








This session, I added a new presentation about important vitamins. The typical Salvadorean diet is relatively balanced except for one group...fruits and veggies.
To emphasize why fruits and veggies were important, we discussed what types of vitamins were found in certain foods and why they were important for the body.

Diana, the local nurse, gave a great and more challenging presentation on sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).  The people of Planes de la Laguna are truly lucky to have her working for the community!



Our patient audience!



Thanks to my team, Glasswingers Chepe & Samuel for their great support!
