Koror, Palau — Peace Winds Palau (PWP), in partnership with the Belau Triathlon Federation (BTF), successfully held an interactive Healthy Diet Program on the evening of November 3, 2025, at MJ Restaurant. The event brought together triathletes, coaches, parents, BTF officers and board members to explore the importance of balanced nutrition in supporting athletic performance and overall health.
The program featured an engaging and interactive presentation led by Peace Winds Palau Representative Yi Wen Hsieh and Kelvin Chen of Taiwan Technical Mission, who shared insights on healthy eating habits, hydration strategies, and meal planning tailored for endurance athletes. Participants learned how proper nutrition can enhance training, performance, and recovery throughout their triathlon journey.
Following the presentation, the triathletes took part in a hands-on cooking session, preparing their own nutritious dinner. This practical activity allowed participants to apply what they learned and experience firsthand how healthy meals can be both delicious and performance-boosting.
Yi Wen Hsieh expressed appreciation for the enthusiasm of the athletes, noting, “Learning through participation makes the message more meaningful. Tonight’s activity showed that eating healthy can be simple, enjoyable, and sustainable for everyone.”
Leah Gillham, President of the Belau Triathlon Federation, also shared her gratitude to Peace Winds Palau saying, “We deeply value this partnership. Our athletes not only train their bodies but also gain the knowledge and skills to nourish themselves properly, which is essential for endurance sports.”
