Sante Grain de Vie, a pioneer in health and wellness, recently hosted a Training Workshop on Natural Preservation & Hygiene Techniques for Food Stuff. This event marked a significant milestone in the organization’s journey toward promoting sustainable nutrition and holistic health. The workshop brought together experts, researchers, and guests from Switzerland, along with local professionals, to share knowledge and techniques for preserving food naturally while maintaining hygiene and quality.
The Purpose of the Event
The program began with a warm welcome from the host, who emphasized the critical role of food in health and wellness. Sante Grain de Vie has long been a pioneer in the field of medicine, offering preventive and post-disease treatments since 2019. From tablets and syrups to mother tinctures and potency treatments, the organization has consistently prioritized holistic health.
With the launch of the food section, Sante Grain de Vie aims to bridge the gap between nutrition and medicine. The host expressed gratitude to the special guests from Switzerland and Dr. Basra, a renowned researcher from Agriculture University, whose expertise in food science will guide the organization’s efforts.
Dr. RD Ahmed’s Appreciation for Dr. Basra
Dr. RD Ahmed took the stage first, expressing his heartfelt appreciation for Dr. Basra’s remarkable contributions. He shared how Dr. Basra had planted a forest over a 12-kilometer area, calling it a “unique step” toward environmental sustainability. Drawing parallels between Switzerland’s long-term environmental planning and Pakistan’s potential, Dr. Ahmed emphasized the importance of planting trees and preserving nature.
Quoting a Hadith, he said, “If the Day of Judgment occurs and you have a seed in your hand, plant it.” This powerful statement underscored the significance of trees and plants, even in the face of adversity. Dr. Ahmed concluded by announcing that trees would be planted during the event, symbolizing growth and sustainability.
Mr. Markus Mettler’s Vision for Pakistan
Next, Mr. Markus Mettler, a distinguished guest from Switzerland, congratulated Sante Grain de Vie on its new initiative. He highlighted Pakistan’s agricultural potential and the need to improve food processing and packaging to meet international standards. He emphasized the importance of teamwork and education in achieving these goals.
Mr. Mettler also introduced Mark Mathes, a Swiss resident, who shared insights on nutrition and its role in preventing diseases. Mark compared nutrition to petrol for a car, stating that maintaining proper nutrition can help prevent many illnesses. He identified poverty and natural disasters as major contributors to malnutrition and stressed the importance of awareness and habit changes.
Mark praised Switzerland’s focus on healthy eating and natural treatments, expressing hope that Pakistan could achieve similar success. He emphasized the need for proper food preservation and packaging, which are critical for improving Pakistan’s food industry.
Dr. Shahzad Basra’s Expert Advice
Dr. Shahzad Basra, a renowned food scientist, took the stage next, sharing his expertise on food processing and preservation. He stressed the importance of avoiding aflatoxins, maintaining proper moisture levels, and preserving nutrients during drying. He highlighted the significance of Vitamin C retention and color preservation as indicators of quality.
Dr. Basra called for practical solutions to make Pakistani food products globally competitive. He emphasized the need for collaboration and innovation to overcome challenges in the food industry. He also shared his vision of creating a positive impact on society through research and practical applications.
Wisdom from Dr. Eng Noor Asif
Dr. Eng Noor Asif shared profound insights, blending spiritual wisdom with practical advice. He reminded the audience to remain grateful to Allah in all circumstances, referencing Quranic teachings about life’s tests. On the topic of food, he shared three key Islamic principles:
- Always have breakfast early in the morning.
- Eat dinner early at night.
- Avoid overeating, as it leads to illness, while moderation promotes longevity.
Dr. Asif’s message resonated deeply, emphasizing the connection between mindful eating and overall well-being.
Dietitian Dr. Zain’s Perspective
Dr. Zain, a dietitian, addressed the confusion surrounding “healthy” and “unhealthy” foods. He clarified that no food is inherently good or bad; it is the way we prepare and consume it that matters. Using examples like almonds and carrots, he explained how even nutritious foods can become unhealthy if consumed excessively or prepared improperly.
Dr. Zain stressed the importance of consulting dietitians for personalized advice, likening it to seeking help from an electrician or plumber. He concluded by calling food an “investment in your body” that pays dividends in old age.
Dr. Mubeen’s Vision for Pakistan’s Food Industry
Dr. Mubeen highlighted the contradictions in food marketing, particularly in third-world countries. He emphasized Pakistan’s potential as an agricultural nation and the need to improve food processing and presentation. He criticized the excessive use of sugar and called for a return to natural, hygienic food practices.
A Message from Muhammad
Muhammad, representing Sante Grain de Vie, reiterated the organization’s mission to provide high-quality health and food products at affordable prices. He expressed gratitude for the collaboration with Switzerland and shared the vision of exchanging knowledge and resources between the two countries.
Sara’s Perspective
Sara, a guest from Switzerland, echoed Muhammad’s sentiments, emphasizing the importance of cross-cultural collaboration. She expressed hope that the partnership between Pakistan and Switzerland would lead to significant advancements in the food industry.
Conclusion
The inauguration of Sante Grain de Vie’s food section marks a new chapter in the organization’s journey toward holistic health.
