49th Nutrition Month Celebration, tututukan ang healthy diet ng Pilipino

SA temang “Healthy Diet Gawing Affordable for All” layon nitong makapagbigay kamalayan sa bawat Pilipino sa kahalagahan ng wasto at tamang nutrisyon habang isinasaalang-alang ang budget ng bawat pamilyang Pilipino.

Ayon kay Dr. Parolita Mission, Regional Nutrition Program Coordinator ng NNC Region 7, dahil sa hirap ang karamihan sa mga Pilipino sa pagbili ng mga masusustansiyang pagkain, tututukan ng ahensiya ang pag-promote ng healthy diet na abot-kaya ang halaga para sa bawat Pilipino.

“The National Nutrition Council is celebrating the 49th Nutrition Month observance with the theme “Healthy Diet Gawing Affordable for All”. This is because some of our populace are not taking or has the difficulty of taking in the healthy diet because one barrier of it is unaffordability of the diet so that’s why we want to emphasize that healthy food can be available, accessible and can be utilize by the body and be safe by putting in strategies to make this food affordable and available particularly by setting up your own garden so you can have access to food and of course selecting low-cost ingredients so that the food that you are taking in is pocket friendly,” saad ni Dr. Parolita Mission, Regional Nutrition Program Coordinator, NNC 7.

Dagdag pa ni Mission, mahalaga ang kooperasyon ng bawat pamilya Pilipino para maisakatuparan ang adhikaing ito.

“It is very important that the whole family will cooperate and participate in the campaign because example in setting up your garden, it can be a family affair, it can be a form of bonding among family members where everyone have their own plant… edible plant to nurture and its really very satisfying and they can all harvest at the same time. And at the same time, aside from of course it’s a mental health issue or an intervention it can also make your food available right in your doors steps,” dagdag ni Mission.

Suportado naman ng ibang ahensiya ng pamahalaan ang mga programa ng NNC tulad ng Department of Agriculture at Department of Health ng Region 7 na maging affordable sa bawat hapag-kainan ng bawat Pilipino ang mga masusustansiyang pagkain sa pamamagitan ng pag-promote ng backyard gardening.

“The Department of Health is the nation leader of health so we will see to it that all the things we are doing, policies and activities towards health are also in consonance with what the government says, what role we plays at the Department of Health, as the tagline says we are all in this together that we cannot also exists, we need all the people around every sector because they are equally important,” ani Ligaya Moneva, Chief, HEPO-DOH 7.

“Having their own production in their own backyards this can be really help address or can do with our theme – health diet. And we have to patronize local products, the local produce of our farmers. And in doing so, they will be encouraged to plant more, they are encourage expand more… their area,” ayon kay Cheryl dela Victoria, Chief Information Officer, DA 7.

Sa huli, inaanyayahan ni Mission ang lahat na makiisa sa selebrasyon ng ika 49th National Nutrition Month.

“I’m calling everyone to participate in the 49th Nutrition Month celebration, coordinate with your local nutrition committee in your area of the many activities that being initiated, you can participate in online activities, face to face activities that would promote adequate diet for all,”  ani Mission,

Ang kampanya sa wastong nutrisyon ng nasabing programa ay mas magiging epektibo kung makikipagtulungan ang lahat para sa seguridad ng kalusugan ng bawat pamilyang Pilipino.
