Health for all Ages
A workshop to commemorate International Women’s Day was held on 8th March 2015 at ‘THE CROWN’ Hotel, Panjim, Goa from 3pm to 6 pm with the theme “Health for all Ages”. The entry to the program was free and open to women and their spouses and also, their children above 13 years.
Dr. Shikha Aggarwal and Dr. Neeru Goel, both specialist in women health conducted the two sessions which were separated by a 15 minute break during which the audience partook of salads and herbal tea. The sessions focused on sensitizing the people specially, the women on ‘health and nutrition’. One has to make the right choices to have a good quality of life – and how does one make such choices, was dwelt at length by the speakers.
Topics included biological and emotional differences between man and woman; growth from infant to adolescence to adulthood and then, motherhood; the cycle of life; positive and negative influences on our lives; the value of exercise, nutrition and diet. The tone of presentations and discussions was so encouraging that every member of the audience committed to put into practice atleast one of the suggestions.
The program ended with a dance exercise in which everyone participated.
