Nutrition Sharing

When it comes to science that directly impacts our well-being, nutrition often comes to mind. As society advances, city dwellers increasingly strive to eat healthily and pay more attention to applying nutritional science in their daily diets. To meet this growing interest, the Science Promotion Unit organises sharing sessions of “QK x Science Cafe”. We have invited registered dietitians to explore the science of nutrition with us and share their inspiring stories in a relaxing atmosphere.

Session 2
Coffee and Health: From Bean to Cup

In this session, we will explore the world of coffee – a popular beverage across cultures. We will move beyond its well-known energising effect to examine the relationship between coffee and our well-being. Our guest speaker will guide you through the process from green coffee beans to the final cup, unravelling the nutritional science, and addressing common myths and facts. Join us to gain a better understanding of how to enjoy coffee as part of your healthy lifestyle!

Food Allergy: Prevent, Treat, Thrive

When facing foods that may trigger allergic reactions, many people choose to strictly avoid them. However, this approach may raise concerns about maintaining balanced nutrient.
