About the Contest
To commemorate World Diabetes Day on the 14th of November 2024, Snugg-Nest is organizing the Cooking for life contest.
The Healthy Living Cook-Off is a unique culinary competition set to take place on World Diabetes Day, celebrating the vital role that healthy eating plays in managing diabetes. This program invites medical professionals to step out of the consultation room and into the kitchen, where they'll showcase their culinary creativity and passion for nutritious, diabetes-friendly meals.
The initiative aims to inspire individuals living with diabetes, as well as the broader public, to embrace healthy eating habits that can improve quality of life. More than just a competition, the Healthy Living Cook-Off raises awareness about the critical connection between diet and diabetes management, proving that nutritious meals can be both delicious and easy to prepare.
