Sport and healthy nutrition to grow up better

The 4th Week of Italian Cuisine in the World, celebrated in 110 countries, in Switzerland also embraces sport, with an event dedicated to young people and parents. On the occasion of the 4th Week of Italian Cuisine in the World (18-24 November 2019), the Italian Embassy in Bern and the Swiss delegation of CONI are organising "Sport and healthy nutrition to grow up better": an event that, in line with the theme of the Week of Italian Cuisine in the World, aims to combine healthy eating with sports education. The event will take place on 1 December 2019 in Zurich. The programme includes, at 10.30, a conference on nutrition and sport held by Dr Gaudimonte at Ristorante Al 21 (Zurlindenstr. 21, 8003 Zurich), followed by a talk by the outstanding Valentina Rosamilia (16), reigning triathlon champion in both Italy and Switzerland and currently 3rd in the world rankings for the 800m (in her category). From 12.00, at the Sihlhölzli sports centre (Manessestrasse 1, 8003 Zurich), targeted sports activities will follow for children aged 8 to 14, in a gym set up for the occasion by two professional coaches. The young athletes will follow an indoor circuit specially designed to stimulate muscles and activate circulation, performing coordination and physical skill exercises. Once the competitions are over, everyone returns to Ristorante Al 21, where from 13.30 a complimentary lunch will be served with dishes based on Italian products designed for athletes of all ages, prepared by Chef Stefano Maruccia in close collaboration with Dr Gaudimonte, who will take the opportunity to highlight their nutritional values.
