Isang malusog na buwan ng mga puso, mga Ka-nutrisyon! As we celebrate love this February, let us not forget the heart that keeps us going.
The National Nutrition Council (NNC) presents this Heart-Bits: Your Lovely Guide to a Heart-Healthy Month, featuring simple tips on healthy eating, active living, and smart habits for a stronger heart.
Every beat matters, so let us always remember that loving starts with a healthy heart.

Patatas, carrots, malunggay, munggo, at kamote. Alam mo ba, Mommy, na pwede mo silang itanim sa bakuran o sa paso? Super healthy pa ito para kay baby! 💚

🗣️ Ikwento mo sa comments kung paano ninyo inihahanda ang iba’t ibang pagkain ng inyong anak. Baka makatulong ka rin sa ibang nanay!

Kahit full-time sa trabaho, full-time rin ang pagmamahal at sakripisyo sa pagpapasuso.

Sa gitna ng trabaho, pagod, at kakulangan sa oras, pinipili pa rin araw-araw ang para kay baby.

Kilalanin natin ang mga nanay na hindi tumigil sa pagpapasuso kahit nagtatrabaho. Kayo ang tunay na 𝑾𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒎𝒐𝒎𝒔! ✨

Ikaw, may kwento ka rin ba ng iyong breastfeeding journey habang may trabaho?
🗣️ I-share mo sa comments o mag-post at i-tag kami, baka ikaw na ang susunod naming ma-feature.

Happy Valentine's Day, mga Ka-Nutrisyon!

Gusto mo bang mas pomugi at mas gumanda sa paningin niya? 😉 Siyempre naman, sino ba ang ayaw? Pero sandali lang — hindi ito tungkol sa pagbabago para sa iba, kundi pagiging best version ng sarili mo. Bonus na lang kung mas mapansin ka niya, ‘di ba? 😌💫

Stop yearning! 🚫 Di na po uso ang sad girl and sad boy! Tama na ang linyahang "𝒈𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒐 𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒌𝒂𝒔𝒊 𝒂𝒌𝒐.” Hindi bawal maging emotional, pero mas okay pa rin kung healthy, confident, at may energy kang humabol sa goals — at sa ka-date mo. 💪❤️

Isa sa mga simpleng paraan para ma-achieve ito ay ang pagsunod sa 𝐊𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐍𝐨. 9: 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐠. Hindi ito tungkol sa pagiging payat lang, kundi pagiging malusog. Ang pagpapanatili ng tamang timbang base sa edad at height ay nakakatulong upang maiwasan ang overweight at obesity, na karaniwang inuugnay sa lifestyle diseases at non-communicable diseases tulad ng diabetes, high blood, at heart diseases. 🫀🥗

Hindi kailangan ng crash diet o biglaang pagbabago. ❌ Sa regular na ehersisyo 🏃‍♀️, sapat na pahinga at tulog 😴, at pagkain ng balanced, moderate, at variety diet 🍎🥦🍚, unti-unti mong maaabot at mapapanatili ang ideal body weight mo. Tandaan, mas nakakaganda ang taong healthy, masigla, at masaya — hindi lang para sa date, kundi para sa sarili at sa mga mahal mo sa buhay. 💛

Kaya ano pang hinihintay mo? 👀

GO head! Go head! Go head! Be ridiii dai! 🔥
GOO! GO! GO! GO! GO! 🎉
You will be happy that! 🫰
Don’t be skirrd… Charisss🙈

With only four days to go before Valentine’s Day, the season of celebrations is once again upon us. This occasion is often associated with an abundance of cakes, chocolates, and other sweet treats that symbolize love and affection. While these foods are enjoyable and culturally significant during special occasions, it is important to remain mindful of our dietary choices to protect our overall health.

𝐊𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐍𝐨. 8: 𝐇𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐲-𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐲 𝐬𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐭, 𝐦𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐤𝐚, 𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐒 𝐧𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐤𝐚𝐢𝐧.

This reminder emphasizes moderation, especially sweet foods which are commonly present during festivities such as Valentine’s Day.

It is also important to understand the caloric contribution of sugar. One gram of sugar provides approximately 4 calories. This means that a single teaspoon of sugar, which weighs about 5 grams, contains roughly 20 calories. When consumed excessively, these calories can quickly accumulate, leading to unwanted weight gain and increased risk of chronic diseases.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), adults are advised to reduce their daily intake of free sugars to less than 10% of their total daily energy intake. For an individual following a 2,000-calorie diet, this recommendation translates to approximately 50 grams of free sugars, or about 12 teaspoons per day. Free sugars include those added to foods and beverages by manufacturers, cooks, or consumers, as well as sugars naturally present in honey, syrups, fruit juices, and fruit juice concentrates.

For additional health benefits, particularly in reducing the risk of obesity, diabetes, and dental caries or tooth decay, the WHO further recommends limiting free sugar intake to below 5% of total energy consumption. This stricter guideline corresponds to roughly 25 grams, or about 6 teaspoons of sugar per day. Adhering to this lower threshold has been shown to significantly improve long-term health outcomes.

As we celebrate Valentine’s Day and other special occasions, enjoying sweet treats in moderation is key. Choosing healthier alternatives, sharing desserts, and being mindful of portion sizes can allow us to partake in the festivities without compromising our health. After all, true love also means taking care of our bodies and making informed, balanced food choices.

The National Nutrition Council (NNC) joins the nation in observing Goiter Awareness Week 2026, an annual campaign aimed at increasing public awareness on Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) and promoting proper nutrition for optimal thyroid health.
Goiter is a preventable condition, primarily caused by inadequate iodine intake, yet it remains a public health concern affecting individuals across all ages. Left unaddressed, iodine deficiency can impair growth, development, and overall well-being.

This year, the NNC calls on individuals, families, communities, and local government units to take proactive action by ensuring adequate iodine intake through the use of iodized salt, consumption of a balanced diet, and regular health check-ups. Strengthening nutrition education and awareness is key to preventing goiter and other iodine deficiency–related disorders.

Together, let us work towards empowering every Filipino to protect their thyroid health and achieve overall wellness, as we support the shared vision of a healthier nation free from preventable nutrition-related conditions
