KINGSBROOK’S BEST HEALTH SCHOOL PRESENTS
“EAT TO LIVE”
in conjunction with the
Lion’s Club Metropolis Brooklyn and
Salad Masters!
Brooklyn, NY-Aug 5, 2017--Kingsbrook’s Best Health School has partnered
with the Brooklyn Metropolis Lions Club to present the “Eat to Live”
educational series, featuring the importance of healthy eating in the
community of central Brooklyn. The first event will be held on Kingsbrook’s
main campus on Saturday, August 5th in the Lillian Minkin ballroom at
585 Schenectady Avenue between Winthrop Street and Rutland Road from 11:00-1:00pm.
Featuring Chef Ravi Samaroo of
Salad Masters, this session will address the importance of healthy food preparation,
especially as it pertains to cultural dishes the community loves most.
“We have some of the most delicious cultural dishes in our community,
mainly from the Caribbean, however, it is the way that they are prepared
that impacts the instances of obesity diabetes and hypertension that are
so prevalent,” says Enid Dillard, Director of Marketing & Public
Affairs at Kingsbrook. “Our goal is to demonstrate how these delicious
dishes can be prepared to be tasty and healthy at the same time.”
The event will feature cooking and tasting demonstrations for a number
of dishes including salads, main entrees and desert options.
Chef Samaroo at Salad Masters has made it his life’s work to educate
people on the advantages of preparing a variety of traditional Caribbean
foods the healthy way. His work in this arena has been most rewarding
as he has seen so many health benefits for patients with cancer, stroke
survivors and those suffering from diabetes. “We are so very happy
that Salad Masters and Chef Samaroo are working with us on this educational
effort,” said Monique Brizz-Walker, Lions Club member and Kingsbrook
Community Leadership Council Member, “this level of educational
supports Kingsbrook’s mission to prevent and manage chronic disease
and we are glad to be a continued partner in those efforts. We look forward
to many more “Eat to Live” events!”
