Eat Healthy, Live Healthy

It is a common knowledge that you become what you eat. But even so, we just can’t stop eating what we mostly love, though almost everything we eat and at the same time love is what’s not good for the body. It is also one of the reasons on why we live a not so productive life.

                Nutrition month is an annual nutrition education and information campaign by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Which focuses on the importance of making informed food choices and developing physical activity habits. It is done for the whole month of July and this year, the 45^th nutrition month, with the theme, “Kumain ng Wasto at Maging Aktibo, Push Natin ‘To!”, is focused on balanced healthy lifestyle and to realize the importance of healthy diets, increased physical activity and reduced sedentary behavior.

                All schools are enjoined to participate through meaningful activities to create greater awareness on the importance of nutrition among Filipinos as mandated by the Presidential Decree 491. ISNHS, specifically the TLE and STEP club holds various activities and a few of them which are held annually are nutri quiz, food fest and the nutri jingle.

                It is held annually so we could be reminded of proper nutrition. What food destroys us and those who nourish and enhance us by taking in a proper or moderate amount of each category of the Pinggang Pinoy which is very ideal. Along with this, exercise should also be done properly.

                To enjoy life, it should always be a balance of eating healthy and doing exercise daily. Because one cannot stand alone, the lack of the other would still result to a not so productive life and could cause the immune system to weaken, allowing diseases to affect us easily.
