Eat nutritious food to stay healthy: judge

Instead of consuming nutritious food, which is essential for good health, people are in the habit of consuming junk food, Principal District and Sessions judge Srinivas Harishkumar has said.

Inaugurating a one-day workshop on Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 organised by the zilla panchayat, the District Health and Family Welfare Department and the district administration here on Saturday, Mr. Harishkumar said that the food that people consumed had a direct impact on their mind as well as body.

‘Ascertain quality’

“Instead of being taken in by advertisements, people should ascertain the quality of food before consuming it,” he said.

Presiding over the programme, District Health and Family Welfare Officer Mahalingappa said that people should have a clear idea about what they were consuming.

“If wealth is lost, it can be earned again, but if the health is lost, it cannot be regained,” he said.

District Surgeon Vijaykumar, Information Officer Maheshwariah and Hotel Owners’ Association secretary Arun Kumar were among those present.
