Nutrition Theme in the Philippines


"Sa Pagkaing Tama at Sapat, Wastong Timbang ni Baby ang Katapat"

In the webster's dictionary, health is define as the condition of being sound in body, mind or spirit or freedom from physical disease or pain. Nutrition, on the other hand, refers to the science that deals with all the various factors of which food is composed and the way in which proper nourishment is brought about. Health and nutrition are like Siamese twins that go together. A person can not be healthy, unless he/she is proper nourished.
We need nutrients to live and we eat food to be able to get these nutrients. There are many food choices and there are also reasons for choosing them. Each of this choices contributes to our total nutrient intake that brings about good nutrition. Nutrients provide energy, contribute to structure, and regulate biological processes. There are also other required substances but are considered nonessential because they can be manufactured by the body in sufficient amounts.
In cells, protein is an integral part of the cell membrane,the cytoplasm, and the organelles. The skin, hair and muscles are made up largely of protein. The bones and teeth are made up of minerals fixed in a protein framework. If your diet lacks of protein these structures may breakdown. The muscles become smaller, the skin becomes inelastic, and the hair becomes thin and can be easily be pulled out from the roots.
Good nutrition and its maintenance is basic to health. Most people are concerned with food taken daily without any regard for practices or habits, which may influence good health. The choice of food involves a wide selection on the kind and amount that the body should take. It is essential that people should understand that the nutrients in food must be utilized to be able to get maximum nutritional benefits.
More attention must be given on preventive medicine than any curative measure. Prevention of diseases is given more emphasis than therapy, since what is prevented does not need to be treated. Proper nutrition is one of the most important and effective measures against diseases. Eating the right amounts and kinds of food everyday is a contribution to nutrition and the prevention of diseases.

Month Of Language

"Sa Pangangalaga sa wika at kalikasan wagas na pagmamahal ang talagang kailangan" “ Language is a segment of the blood and soul, where thoughts trickle out of where one grows” The history of the Filipino language was a battle for our ancestors. Language, to them, meant freedom. Blood and Ink was shed for our rights of liberty to be declared. The struggle of ownership of identity, citizenship for our people and a language for our country inspired our national heroes, especially our most venerated, Dr. Jose P. Rizal. He shed ink through his novels, letters and poetry in order for our people to believe in themselves but the irony is, it was only after he shed his own blood that it was ultimately realized. There was much controversy when the Spaniards wanted to declare Spanish as the National language of the Philippines, therefore a committee was formed in the Philippines that declared in 1935 to choose a National language. The Philippines has many dialects which c...

New Year,New Resolution

We all know that new year resolution is commitment that an individual makes to a person`s goal, project or the reforming of a habit. A new years resolution is generally, someone sets over to accomplish in the coming year. And its the time for us to reflect our changes. Helping our mother in the household chores, lessen to buy none sense things and to become a nice daughter/son all of this, is in our resolution's list and I believe that this promises to ourselves will be done for a week or either a month because it is hard for us to change, right. But this new year I'm trying to change my bad attitudes because I don't want to become brat or what so ever " bad guy " ! And that`s very shameful to others, right. New Year inspires us to become better. So this new year, hoping that I will do what I said.
