The first meeting of the Alexandra School Alumni Association for the year will take the form of a discussion on healthy lifestyles and is open to the public.
There will be a presenter from Dietitians of Barbados (DB), the first local professional organisation for registered dietitians and students in human nutrition and dietetics.
The discussion takes place on Saturday, January 28 at the school, Queen Street, St Peter at 4 p.m. and will touch on general health with a question-and-answer segment after the initial presentation by Meshell Carrington, vice-president of DB.
A cookbook, Barbadian Gourmet, developed by dietitians at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital with emphasis on local food, will also be on sale and there will be sampling of wine and cheese.
The dietitian organisation was launched last July 15, and it “seeks to serve the public by acting as [a] resource of technical expertise in nutrition, through promotion of nutritious food choices and through advocacy to improve the Barbadian food environment”.
