This is a demonstration of a household level preparation of ordinary everyday fare, the Asian noodles, here made a bit different with the incorporation of vegetable tops like spinach to make it more nutritious. With the growing popularity of mass-manufactured instant noodles that are mostly starch and preservatives spiked with fat and sodium, consumers especially children are at risk for protein malnutrition and disorders that previously are prevalent only in insignificant or more mature populations – such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. We can help reverse this trend by reducing our dependence on junk food that have ironically become daily staples. If we cannot yet obtain healthy food from commercial sources, we can make ours at home and in the community. This demonstration video hopes to show that it can be done easily with simple tools and can also be scaled up to a community level. The Center for Community Work and People’s Development (CCWPD) is constantly striving to develop products and methods that aim to build capacity in the community to alleviate poverty, malnutrition and poor health. CCWPD mobilizes communities to identify and strengthen locally available resources to that the poor can supplement their systems in health care delivery, housing, water and sanitation and early childhood development. You can help CCWPD by volunteering and contributing resources. Contact us: Center for Community Work & People’s Development Kalinga corner Makisig Streets …
