Health is clearly a matter of choice. And we need to make good choices. People like Del Castillo help us in our most trying, tempting moments.
Del Castillo has been a tireless advocate for healthy eating. For 13 years now, she has been operating Likha Diwa sa Gulod where fruits, vegetables, seafood, tofu, mushrooms and meat substitutes are primarily served.
The Likha Diwa menu includes traditional Filipino recipes (adobo, kare-kare, etc.) and products of Del's continuing culinary experimentations such as the vegetarian paella and relyenong tofu.
Think carrot and cucumber juices. Squid and mushroom sisig. Fish lumpia. Rice coffee. Mushroom and chili veggie meat quesadillas. Sinigang sa bayabas.
Del has personally encouraged friends and relatives to make THE SHIFT in their diets: more servings of fresh, raw, organic fruits and vegetables; the use of olive oil and yoghurt; limiting soda and fastfood intake. Good, practical choices.
Through the years, Del has also shared cooking techniques and invited countless guests to sample her product development creations. Wonderful feasts!
To complement the healthy eating, Del has been running too, easily finishing a 10K when I am just into my first Kilometer. Really, the power comes from omega-3, oranges and the pechay balls.
