Napux The Cow

The series teaches nutrition and promotes eating organic fruit and vegetables using children’s interactive participation. The cow Napux is the presenter because it grows in a healthy way, eating greens. The word Napux is Tsotsil, one of the regional languages, and signifies turnip, or green leafed vegetables. Each episode is dedicated to a special fruit or vegetable and has four distinct sections. We visit a local farm or orchard and show how foods grow. In the Micro observation Lab of our human body, various micro-nutrients are presented and the importance of vitamins and minerals for the function of the body is emphasized. In the Kitchen Section, the children present a simple recipe. In our Letters Section we receive fictional letters on topics such as weight loss or fatigue and discuss how super foods like Aloe Vera help to alleviate these issues.
