Accu Chek Pakistan Held 'Healthy Me' Poster Competition

.

The theme for World Diabetes Day 2019 was Family and Diabetes. The theme was aimed to raise awareness of the diabetes effect on one’s family and promoting the support as well as the role of the family in managing, carefulness, prevention and acquiring knowledge of diabetes.

A lack of knowledge about this silent disease – diabetes means that noticing the early symptoms is not just a hindrance for family members, but it’s a bigger concern impacting the whole society. Do you know that diabetes was responsible for four million deaths in 2017? It was due to untreated or unmanaged diabetes that leads to life-changing impediments.

In order to create diabetes awareness in country, the Roche Pakistan, the pioneers in Diabetes Care, took a great initiative by engaging young children and school going students to highlight the significance of diabetes care, prevention, and alertness about the silent disease. The main focus was to educate them that how changing a lifestyle can prevent diabetes or help in managing it. The initiative aimed at helping students in understanding the symptoms and complications of diabetes. Diet plans were shared to teach them healthy eating routine from an early age to avoid obesity that can lead to diabetes.

The Accu Chek Pakistan, a brand of blood sugar-testing devices manufactured by Roche Diagnostics, organized a poster competition ‘Healthy Me’ as a drill to tell young minds that healthy living amongst children ensures a healthy future. 

Children were asked to draw, make posters to express their knowledge about World Diabetes Day theme; Family and Diabetes. The contest further enabled students to absorb the maximum information about the symptoms of diabetes and how Accu-Chek can help to monitor blood sugar levels.

The Healthy Me poster contest was judged by cricketer Mr. Wasim Akram, who himself is a diabetic patient and an inspiration for many people who want to be active and fit. The competition administration received hundreds of entries from schools all across Pakistan showing that such activity can really promote awareness among children and their families.

Following are some of the creative posters and illustrations that children made to highlight the importance of a healthy lifestyle and diet to prevent and control diabetes in families and children.

Review - Exotic African Hot Chilli Sauce By Chatkhaar

.

Every one would agree that tasty spicy sauces, chutneys and pickles are the best way to compliment any cuisine. It is also a fact that not all sauces are great in taste and it’s really hard to find a scrumptious sauce in the market.

However, our problem for a real yummy and spicy sauce has been solved by Pakistan’s most premium brand “Chatkhaar”. Like its name, the brand adds “Chatkhaar” (spicy flavor) to our meal by literally bringing the flavours of different regions and countries on our dinning tables.

Launched in 2012, Chatkhaar is offering a wide variety of ethnic chutneys, exotic sauces and unique pickles. It is important to note that Chatkhaar’s all products are made in 100% Olive Oil. The addition of olive oil makes the sauces, chutneys and pickles very healthy. The health benefits of olive oil are numerous; it is rich in vitamin E and antioxidants which help in fighting several ailments.

Chatkhaar’s exotic sauce range includes African Hot Chilli Sauce, Moroccan Harissa Sauce, Chilli Garlic Sauce, Mango Chilli Sauce, Arabian Garlic Sauce, Honey Mustard, Sweet Chilli Sauce, Portuguese Piri Piri Sauce, and Moroccan Harissa.

African Hot Chilli Sauce

Chatkhaar’s new product African Hot Chilli Sauce is a real treat for all the spice lovers. It is a best choice to serve with any food including Fried meat, rice, kebabs, snacks, burgers, fries, sandwiches, pasta, etc. We tried the sauce with rice, kebabs and sandwiches. The sauce added a unique zesty taste to each dish.

The African Hot Chilli Sauce is a balanced taste of spicy and tangy ingredients. The presence of garlic, ginger, sugar, citric acid and chillies makes it very hot and sizzling condiment for any main dish. The moment you taste the sauce, you will be jolted by the high spices along with the strong flavour of citric acid but in a moment of fraction it will be balanced by the sweetness of the sauce. 

The bright red colored sauce has ideal consistency; it is neither thick nor watery. This is the thing we really liked about this African Hot Chilli Sauce.

It can be used not only as a complimentary sauce, but also as a marinade for making different recipes. Due to its spice intensity, it is safe that you should taste it first before giving it to your kids.

Availability:

Chatkhaar’s whole range of sauces, chutneys and pickles are easily available on their website and other stores. 

You can order online at Chatkhaar Shop
