Towards this end, the team organized a Cooking Competition that aimed at promoting a healthier lifestyle among those who had hypertension. This was to engage them in a fun and instructive package where they will learn how to prepare nutritious food in line with their dietary needs.
It was a competition that pooled together individuals challenged to come up with savory yet healthy, low-sodium dishes rich in nutrients. With experienced health dietetics and nutritionists, the contestants' challenge was how creative they could be in cooking up a meal that not only passed very stringent health guidelines on hypertension but also tantalized the taste buds.
The cooking competition was aimed at two things: to be creative, increase skills in ways that will further support health goals regarding cooking, and to provide a sense of community when managing hypertension, since this is critical for people to appreciate that living a healthy lifestyle can be enjoyable and achievable.
This event was a channel through which the participating teams could learn some new recipes and get ideas from each other, thereby trying their hands at making a healthier choice with the possibility of emerging winners. In other words, the competitive element made it entertaining in the sense that one would strive to give their best culinary foot forward, while the educative part ensured any participating member who walked out took something very valuable that could help them better manage their condition. Through this innovative methodology, the group worked toward eliciting long-term changes in eating habits that would eventually result in an improvement in health for all concerned.
