"Pagkain ng Gulay Ugaliin , Araw-araw itong Ihain"

          Nutrition Month Celebration is about health awareness campaign that is held every July. This includes the importance of making informed food choices as well as developing and maintaining good eating habits. This isn't just another health thing. The fact is that the majority of diseases that affect Filipinos today can be traced back to bad nutrition and unsound eating habits. Unhealthy foods or junk foods don't provide anything that the body can use, aside from that, it needs to work twice as hard to push those extra toxins out of the body.
          There is a very simple way to see how this works in real life. First of all, think fresh. Stock up on fresh fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts. Snacking on fruits, nuts and vegetables is a much healthier choice as they are fat and sugar free. Unlike junk food, snacking on healthy foods will actually kill hunger pangs rather than just mask them. Apart from that, a number of chronic conditions can be greatly improved by making healthy eating choices. By opting for a nutritionally sound diet, your body immediately gains access to higher energy levels. By breaking down components like carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, vitamins and minerals, the body can repair and replenish itself. Today it is probably harder than ever to eat right, especially when fast foods seem like a more convenient option to a healthy meal. And there are tips you can keep in mind to incorporate more nutrition into your daily diet.
             In situations where it just isn't possible to eat healthy, try and eat as healthy as you can. For example, instead of burgers, order a grilled cheese sandwich. Eating in a nutritionally sound way might be a little hard at first but you'll feel the difference right away. Celebrating National Nutrition Month is an effective way to get your health back on track.
