Celebrating Nutrition Month

06/26/2023

Nutrition Month is observed every July in the Philippines. It encourages Filipinos across the country to consume healthier foods and have a well-balanced diet while raising awareness of the importance of nutrition.

How to Celebrate Nutrition Month

Check your diet

Unsure if you are eating healthily? Have a nutritionist check your diet. They can inform you about the nutrients that may be lacking in your diet and advise you to cut out foods that are bad for you.

Donate to food programs

This is a great way to ensure nutritious and regular meals reach even the less fortunate.
