HEALTHY TALK AND NUTRITIOUS RECIPES FROM SANOFI PHILIPPINES FOR THE WORLD DIABETES DAY

 

Living with diabetes may be difficult but it is manageable

Living with someone with diabetes, Mommy Eve Lugod of the Asian parent PH, who is also a nutritionist and dietician, also shared what she knows and what she does to help her family consciously choose to live a healthier lifestyle.

“I would recommend to moms out there to try preparing food with your kids. It’s very fun kasi while preparing the food, they get to learn also the different types of food included in that meal. And at the same time, they also learn why we are including this kind of vegetable and food for good health. Start them young!”, she shared.

“It is our Panata here in the PH to improve the management of this disease because [once again, remember] it's not the end of life, it's the beginning of a change to empower people to [a] better life, live their life.” Dr. Amal Makhloufi shared.

Former Bb. Pilipinas-International and now a kitchen diva, Sabrina Artadi shared a mouthwatering recipe for her Mango Pineapple Yogurt treat during the Sweet Talk Your Way Out of Diabetes private media event as a teaser to the longer What’s Cookin’ Good Lookin’ Instagram Live.
