Hanam City is holding a "Hypertension and Diabetes Healthy Cooking Class," where participants learn dishes that can prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases through creative recipes at the level of a black-and-white chef.

Hanam City, Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Lee Hyun-jae) received great responses from citizens by holding the ‘Hypertension and Diabetes Healthy Cooking Class’ (hereinafter referred to as the Hypertension and Diabetes Cooking Class), where participants learn creative recipes at the level of a black-and-white chef to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

According to Hanam City on the 22nd, the city held the Hypertension and Diabetes Cooking Class on the 21st at the cooking practice room of Misa Health Center, inviting Professor Jeong In-young, a Korean Master Chef and cooking skills master from Woosong Information College. The class covered ▲ seasonal ingredients and food storage methods ▲ low-sodium and low-calorie cooking methods for managing hypertension and diabetes ▲ and secret tips for nutritional management in daily life.

The Hypertension and Diabetes Cooking Class is a program designed to teach customized cooking techniques to prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases related to hypertension and diabetes.

On the day, after receiving safety accident prevention education, participants were divided into four groups (two people per group) and practiced cooking for two hours. After watching Professor Jeong In-young’s cooking demonstration, participants prepared ingredients themselves and completed hypertension and diabetes customized dishes such as ‘Kongbiji Jjigae’ (soybean pulp stew) and ‘Vegetable Seasoned with Perilla Seed Sauce.’

Professor Jeong In-young shared her life story of having a family member with diabetes and her sense of responsibility in continuously developing and teaching recipes, which resonated with the students.

A citizen who attended the class said, “It was great to learn recipes perfectly tailored for hypertension and diabetes, gaining both taste and health at the same time. Although I have had hypertension and diabetes for over 10 years, I used to only look for convenience foods thinking healthy meals didn’t suit me. Today, learning healthy dishes directly researched and developed by the professor created a very special memory, and I definitely want to participate again.”

Mayor Lee Hyun-jae emphasized, “We judged that forming healthy lifestyle habits such as nutritional management is very important for managing hypertension and diabetes, so we decided to operate the Hypertension and Diabetes Cooking Class to provide support. Hanam City will continue to implement various policy support projects to build an environment where hypertension and diabetes can be managed.”

Meanwhile, Hanam City Public Health Center plans to continuously present upgraded healthy cooking by operating the program four times a year using the Misa Health Center equipped with a cooking practice room. In addition, to enable more citizens to utilize the classes, materials from the healthy cooking class will be steadily posted on the YouTube channel ‘HanamGodangTV.’

Citizens who wish to participate in the Hypertension and Diabetes Cooking Class can inquire about related education and health consultations through the Hanam City Hypertension and Diabetes Registration Education Center.
