As part of activities to commemorate
the inaugural ‘Protein Day’ celebration in Nigeria, ‘Right to Protein’, a
nutritional awareness initiative has announced an exciting contest to promote
the importance of adequate protein consumption and healthy eating habits.
The ‘Protein Day’ contest which will run from Friday,
February 24 to Friday March 10, 2023, is open to all Nigerian residents aged 18
and above. The contest invites participants to showcase their creative culinary
skills and knowledge of protein-rich foods to stand a chance of winning a
shopping voucher worth 20,000 naira.
Now, what is ‘Protein Day’ all about? ‘Protein Day’ is a day
dedicated to raising awareness about the body’s most essential building blocks,
protein, its benefits, and to encourage individuals to increase its consumption
in their everyday diet. Held annually on the 27th of February, it is a day that is
observed across the globe.
Right To Protein Nigeria will be celebrating its first Protein Day in
the country with the theme “Easy Access to Protein for All”. It is a day set to
increase awareness and promote the importance of having easy access to protein
for a healthy and balanced diet.
Protein is an essential macronutrient that helps develop bones, skin,
cartilage, and blood. It is required for the growth, repair and maintenance of
the body’s tissues and organs. It is also important to produce enzymes,
hormones and other biochemicals that keep the body functioning properly.
However, many Nigerians do not consume enough protein in their diets,
which can lead to malnutrition and poor health outcomes. The Protein Day
contest is a fun and engaging way to raise awareness about the benefits of
protein and encourage Nigerians to incorporate more protein-rich foods into
their diets.
To participate in the contest, all you need to do is to follow Right
to Protein Nigeria on their official social media pages. Next, share a
picture/video of a delicious protein-rich meal/recipe, tagging
@righttoproteinnigeria on their Instagram and Facebook page.
The post should also include the hashtag #WhatsYourProtein and #ProteinDay.
Winners will be selected based on a lucky draw of the post entries
that fulfill the eligibility criteria.
So, what are you waiting for? Hurry and enter for the Protein Day
Contest. You can be lucky to win one of the six 20,000 naira shopping vouchers
that are up for grabs.
