The holiday season is a time for joy, togetherness, and of course, delicious food! As we celebrate with our loved ones, let us make this season not just merry, but healthy too.

Here are DOST-FNRI’s simple yet powerful reminders to help us prepare a healthier holiday table:

🥗 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘀. Brighten your meals with colorful, flavorful, and nutrient-packed produce. Include local favorites like squash, malunggay, carrots, papaya, and bananas for a more nutritious and budget-friendly noche buena.

🍗 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀, such as fish, chicken, or trimmed pork and beef to reduce unhealthy fat intake while still keeping dishes satisfying.

✖️ 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝘁𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀. Too much sodium and fat can increase the risk of hypertension and other lifestyle-related diseases, even during the holidays. Enjoy these foods in moderation and balance them with healthier options.

🥤 𝗢𝗽𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗵 𝗳𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆-𝘁𝗼-𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝘀𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀. Fresh juices offer more vitamins and help reduce sugar intake, making your celebrations both refreshing and healthier.

🍳 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆. Wash hands and utensils thoroughly, cook food at the right temperature, and store leftovers properly to prevent foodborne illnesses.

Healthy eating doesn’t mean giving up on your favorite holiday dishes. It is about making mindful choices, preparing food safely, and serving meals that nourish both body and heart.

Making nutritious choices can be one of the best gifts we can give ourselves and our families. Let us start a new holiday tradition!
