The Governor of the People, Libia Dennise Garcia Munoz Ledo, participated in the “Family Festival ¡Vive Más! Eat Healthy, Always Be Active”, organized by the State DIF, with the objective of commemorating World Food Day.
“This demonstration of love, such as food, can also be a healthy act, and this day reminds us of the importance of taking care of ourselves, being active, and eating healthy, because our body is what allows us to build our dreams and walk towards the goals we set for ourselves,” said the State Governor.
In the event, 12 winning families were recognized for “The Challenge Live Longer! Eat Healthy, Always Activate”, 6 in the Super Healthy Lunches category and 6 in Team Cooking.
“Today we recognize the families that help us promote healthy habits through food, and it is not just the recognition we make today, because these dishes will be part of a recipe book that year after year seeks to reach all homes in Guanajuato,” said the Governor of the People.
Each family received a prize of 10,000 pesos. The winners are from:
- Jerecuaro, Atarjea, Uriangato, Acambaro, Victoria, Silao, Valle de Santiago, Jaral del Progreso, Purisima del Rincon, San Miguel de Allende, Santiago Maravatio and Cortazar
Among the offer of dishes are:
- Nopales, tamales, crepas, and dishes prepared with local ingredients, demonstrating that nutritious food doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive
The initiative revives the Healthy Dish contest that the State DIF has been promoting since 2013. Between that year and 2025, it gathered 2,166 recipes from the 46 municipalities and originated five State recipe books.
This event is part of the Super League of Health and aims to demonstrate that eating better can also be something simple, fun and shared as a family, through workshops, games, physical activity and preparation of healthy foods.
