Cooking up healthy food for thought in Tameside

Monday, 1 November 2021 08:35

'Nutrition and Hydration Champions' were joined by many professionals from across Tameside at an outdoor market stall in Ashton.

Others there included Population Health, Be Well Tameside, Infection Prevention (ICFT), Jigsaw Homes Tameside, Community Safety, DMS Primary Care Network and Eclectic Avenue Café.

Local councillors were also there to show their support for a project aimed at promoting good nutrition and hydration throughout our lives and into older years.

People were given advice on how to prevent these avoidable conditions, how to look out for the signs with simple tips and conversations plus lots of free fruit and vegetables.

These were kindly donated by Dave at Wilson’s Fruit and Vegetable Stall in Ashton Market, Lesley at Heyrod Food and Floral, as well as water donated by Wilko in Ashton and a lovely homemade apple and plum crumble made by Jodylee and the team at Eclectic Avenue café at 4C community Centre, Ashton.

The market stall session was just one of a series of events held locally to mark Malnutrition Awareness Week.

Other events saw star chef Noel Goulding from the Veterans Food Co providing informative cooking sessions focussing on batch cooking with foods that are good for the environment, a crucial topic for current and future generations, challenging people to prepare a healthy meal from mystery ingredients, against the clock!
