The main characteristic of national holidays is the abundance of food and that is why food portions must be taken care of.
The chiles en nogada prepared for the patients had ingredients controlled to offer what was necessary for each one.
In addition, they were prevented from being weathered and were prepared with traditional ingredients such as poblano chili, ground beef, almonds, walnuts, apple, pear, perón, peach, raisins, cream, parsley and pomegranate.
In hospitals there are never days off because they must always be ready to attend to any type of emergency. From Christmas to New Year are events in which you cannot rest because you need to have personnel ready to receive patients. With this in mind, for this night of September 15, the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) decided to prepare an abundant amount of chiles en nogada to give as a gift.
Where did this initiative occur?
This generous act was the work of the staff of the Nutrition Department of the Gynecological-Obstetrics Hospital No. 4. In total, she made 600 chiles en nogada for the medical unit workers and 200 personalized portions for the hospitalized patients, within their meal plans, with the intention of offering them a traditional and healthy dish.
Within the framework of the celebration of the national holidays, Minerva Lara Fuentes, Head of the Nutrition Department of the High Specialty Medical Unit (UMAE) No. 4 “Luis Castelazo Ayala”, pointed out that the rations intended for the beneficiaries had a control of the ingredients, so that they consumed them according to their eating plans.
He stressed that people must maintain a specific eating plan and modify the necessary quantities to avoid health risks.

Lara Fuentes indicated that the motivation for making this recipe of Puebla origin is “to celebrate the national holidays as a hospital, not because we are a hospital we are left out of these festivities and part of this represents teamwork, empathy, solidarity, positive attitude” to give you joy to the patients who are in this medical unit.
The Social Security specialist highlighted that the planning of this dish took a month and three days to prepare. The chiles en nogada for the staff had approximately 450 calories, they were avoided and were prepared with traditional ingredients such as poblano chile, ground beef, almonds, walnut, apple, pear, perón, peach, raisins, cream, parsley and pomegranate. .
The head of the Nutrition Department of the Gynecology-Obstetrics Hospital No. 4 highlighted the work of her entire team, who participated from the reception of food, prior preparations, cooking and distribution of food to both patients and UMAE workers.
Minerva Lara invited the population to celebrate the Independence of Mexico and traditions in a controlled manner, in order to avoid health effects from consuming large quantities of food.
“In this case, we are dedicated to Nutrition and we can take actions to modify the preparations, which reduce the consumption of sugar, fat and salt so that it is healthy.”
The patients admitted for various medical issues appreciated the gesture of the Nutrition staff who made an effort to prepare personalized rations within their meal plans.
In this regard, Alma Janet, a patient hospitalized for two weeks due to complications in her pregnancy, expressed that she has had good care from the nutritionists and it is nice that they took the time to give them this dish, because being hospitalized they miss the festivities, but through food they have a little piece of traditions.
For her part, Jade, a patient hospitalized to monitor her pregnancy with triplets, thanked the nutrition staff because, in addition to taking care of her nutritional needs for her and her babies, they offered them typical food on these national holidays and with proper management within your meal plan.
