One Meal, One Match, One Step Toward Qatar’s 2030 Health Vision
Introduction
My name is Mohammad Farooqi, and I have always thought that
change did not have to be loud to be significant. Growing up in Qatar, where
life is fast, hectic, and health is neglected. I wanted to do something about
it, even if it's in small ways.
My passion for cooking and football is the start of this journey. The idea of sharing healthy comfort food recipes on TikTok was simple, but it evolved into a small community of people who wanted to eat better, not out of pressure, but out of joy. This passion led me to develop my own healthy eating eBook, which is a project that combines my passion for food with my growing interest in business.
Developing Young Talent
Outside of the kitchen, instead of experimenting with new recipes, I am on the pitch coaching football to kids. It makes me happy to see their excitement and growth, and it reminds me of what being healthy really is, not to be perfect but to be moving while being happy.
2030 Vision
Qatar's 2030 vision inspires me because it prioritizes people, aiming to create a healthier and more active society. That could start with us, one meal, one match, one mindset at a time.

Reflection
What small changes could you make today to live a healthier life in a fast-paced world?
As someone who tried your recipes I’m really gl
ReplyDeleteThis was such an inspiring read, Farooqi. As someone who’s tried to make healthy food tasty but often failed, finding easy recipes has always been a struggle for me. After taking small steps to fix my diet, I’ve noticed a huge positive change, especially in my physique. It’s so easy to overlook how much our diet impacts our lifestyle and overall well-being, especially with how convenient takeout has become. By creating healthier versions of the foods we love, we can stay in shape without guilt while still feeling satisfied. Loved how your journey shows that small efforts really do add up!

ReplyDeleteThis was a great read, Farooqi. I love how you connected food, sport, and community into one purpose — it really shows that healthy living isn’t about strict rules but about joy and consistency. The “one meal, one match, one mindset” line hit deep; it’s such a simple but powerful reminder that progress starts small. Keep inspiring people to build those habits — you’re making real impact in the quiet, meaningful way that lasts.
