Food for Health–Rhymes–Turmeric-198/365
Harmonizing health & biodiversity, our melodic food for health rhymes initiative can ignite kids’ love for diverse foods in a fun and engaging way.
Recognizing that children’s limited diet impacts their health and the planet’s biodiversity, we propose to foster a love for diverse foods through the universal language of music. We created nursery rhymes, each featuring a different food item, set to familiar tunes. We hope these rhymes will not only educate children about the nutritional benefits of various foods but also stimulate demand for diverse crops, ultimately contributing to biodiversity.
This initiative promises a fun, engaging way to cultivate healthier habits in children while safeguarding our planet.
Turmeric: Golden and bright, a healing light, bringing warmth with every bite!
Tune: “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”
🎵Turmeric, turmeric, golden bright,
Makes our meals a lovely sight.
In our curry, rice, and stew,
It’s so healthy — good for you!🎵
🎵Fights the germs and keeps us strong,
Helps our bodies all day long.
Makes our skin so nice and clear,
Turmeric’s health is very dear!🎵
🎵Full of fiber, good for all,
Calcium helps us grow up tall.
Iron gives us strength to play,
Keeps us active every day!🎵
🎵Turmeric, turmeric, golden bright,
Keeps us healthy, day and night!
In our hearts and kitchens too,
A spice that’s good for me and you!🎵
