Time for healthy eating

MANILA, Philippines - “We, at Doña Elena Cuisinera Club, believe that one way to change the negative opinion about healthy eating is by showing everyone how to prepare delicious and nutritious everyday food,” says Luchie Callanta, a senior lecturer at UP, and resident nutritionist of Doña Elena Cuisinera Club.

The Doña Elena Cuisinera Club is sponsoring its first “Celebrity Cook-off Challenge.” Celebrities and guests will display their culinary genius in preparing appetizing Filipino dishes using Doña Elena olive oils.

Rich in monounsaturated fat, olive oil has anti-inflammatory and anti-hypertensive properties. It lowers bad cholesterol levels as well as reduces the risk of coronary heart disease, coupled with a healthy and active lifestyle.
