Waters Edge launches ‘Goodness at the Edge’ healthy meal plan

-

Healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle is Colombo’s latest phenomenon. With the entire nation recognizin­g the need for healthy living and supported by the Government of Sri Lanka, people are often looking for ways in which to consume healthier food. Taking on the responsibi­lity of thus providing a healthy meal option at an affordable price, Colombo’s fastest growing entertainm­ent hub Waters Edge recently launched ‘Goodness at the Edge’, a healthy meal plan for the busy lifestyle.

The brainchild of Megapolis and Urban Developmen­t Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka, this programme will officially kick-start on May 7. The press conference announcing the launch was held under the patronage of Ranawaka and Health Minister Rajitha Senarathne.

“Healthy living is a trend that is catching on regardless of age especially in Colombo. We are doing many projects to promote healthy habits in Sri Lanka in order to make our nation healthy. We commend Waters Edge therefore taking this initiative to provide healthy food to busy people,” said Senarathne.

“The Megapolis and Urban Developmen­t Ministry is transformi­ng Colombo City into a healthy one. We are glad that Waters Edge, which also comes under the UDA, is promoting healthy living through this meal plan,” added Ranawaka.

Those interested need to simply call Waters Edge and register. The hotel will then put you in touch with a qualified nutritioni­st from the Sri Jayawarden­apura Hospital who will assess your health and create the perfect meal plan for your requiremen­t. The plans are flexible and can be created per week or for an entire month.

Once created, the meals will then be delivered free of charge within 10km radius of the hotel and at a nominal delivery fee outside of the 10km boundary. Orders can also be customized to be one meal per day or all three meals.

Unlike other health food options, the Waters Edge ‘Goodness at the Edge’ meal plan comes certified by the Health Ministry, is created by profession­al dieticians and executed by world-renowned chefs. Further benefits include a waiving off of 20 percent from Waters Edge annual membership for those who sign up for the six-month plan.

“The healthy meal plan is truly a personaliz­ed service that no hotel has ever introduced.

Everything will be customized according to the individual’s health and nutrition requiremen­ts. Even the one-to-one sessions will go through Waters Edge taking away the cumbersome task of making appointmen­ts, etc.”
