Maxicare hosts the first-ever Veggie Festival

We Filipinos love to eat and that is a fact, and we eat to our heart's delight, not thinking about how this can affect our health, including our environment. Most of the time it is really hard to resist the temptation, but it all goes down to discipline and eagerness to change for a healthier you.

It’s about time to eat healthy, live healthy, and take control of your health! As obesity and unhealthy lifestyles continue to grow into a global problem, Maxicare Healthcare Corporation, the country’s leading healthcare provider, arranged its first-ever outdoor festival – Maxicare Veggie Fest 2019, a project in support of the company’s Chairman of the Board Mr. Roberto “Bobby” Macasaet Jr’s personal advocacy for healthier lifestyles.

“One of the easiest ways to start your journey to living a healthy life is by eating a plant-based diet, which is why we are very proud to be holding the Maxicare Veggie Fest.

Mr. Macasaet said that the main objective of this year Maxicare Veggie Fest is to improve health and wellness , focusing on plant-based nutrition.The event also aims to encourage more peopple to live their best by boosting not only their physical but also their health.

In its mission to improve others’ quality of life, Maxicare encourages members and non-members alike to incorporate a variety of fruits and vegetables, whole grains and starches, good fats, and lean proteins into their diet so they can live longer and feel stronger by inspiring others to fight disease and eat healthily.

The first ever Veggie Fest was held at the Legaspi Active Park in Makati City last March 15, 2019.The veggie fest was packed with plant-based advocates that offered handpicked products for health-conscious consumers. The activities included a film showing on plant-based lifestyle and a talk on “Holistic Healing for Wholesome Living” presented by Yoga instructor Donna Francisco, “Guilt Free and Gluten Free Dessert” by Jertie Abergas of Jerties Kitchen, “Skin Food –
