Food safety starts with simple everyday habits! 🥗

Safe choices before every bite. Healthier families after every meal! 💚

A meal can look fresh, smell good, and taste delicious—yet still carry something we cannot see. That is what makes food safety easy to overlook. Harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites, and chemicals do not always change the appearance or smell of food. This Food Safety Awareness Week, it is worth looking beyond what is on the plate and paying attention to what happens before the first bite.

Recent estimates from the World Health Organization (WHO, 2026) show that unsafe food causes around 866 million illnesses and 1.5 million deaths worldwide each year. Nearly 1 in 9 people becomes ill from contaminated food, with young children among those at greatest risk.

Closer to home, WHO reported in February 2026 that around 9 million Filipinos experience foodborne illness each year. What may begin as diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or fever can become much more serious, particularly among children, older adults, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems.

The good news? Many of these illnesses are preventable—and prevention often begins with ordinary kitchen habits.

Before cooking: Think clean.

Our hands, knives, chopping boards, countertops, and utensils can become pathways for contamination. Washing hands with soap and clean running water for at least 20 seconds before preparing food and after handling raw meat, poultry, seafood, or eggs is a simple but important protection (U.S. Food and Drug Administration [FDA], 2024).

While preparing: Give raw food its own space.

Raw meat and seafood should not share the same plates, knives, or chopping boards with ready-to-eat food unless these have been properly washed first. Inside the refrigerator, raw meat should also be sealed and kept away from fruits, vegetables, and cooked dishes. Why? Because contamination does not need to be visible to spread.

While cooking: Do not rely on appearance alone.

A browned piece of meat is not automatically a safe one. Using a food thermometer provides a more reliable check. The FDA recommends cooking poultry to 165°F (74°C), ground meat to 160°F (71°C), and fish to 145°F (63°C). Leftovers should reach 165°F (74°C) when reheated (FDA, 2024).

After eating: The clock matters.

Leaving perishable food at room temperature for too long gives bacteria an opportunity to multiply. Refrigerate perishables within two hours, or within one hour when temperatures exceed about 32°C (90°F). Refrigerators should remain at 4°C (40°F) or below, while freezers should be kept at -18°C (0°F) or below (FDA, 2024). Frozen food should also be thawed safely—in the refrigerator, under cold water, or in the microwave—not on the kitchen counter.

Even shopping is part of food safety.

A safe meal begins before cooking starts. Check expiration dates, inspect packaging, and avoid swollen cans, leaking packs, broken seals, or food with unusual signs of spoilage. At home, use older products first through the “first in, first out” practice to help prevent both spoilage and unnecessary food waste.

Food safety is not about being overly cautious. It is about making small decisions that protect everyone who gathers around the table.

This Food Safety Awareness Week, remember:
1. Clean before you prepare.
2. Separate before contamination happens.
3. Cook beyond what your eyes can tell.
4. Chill before bacteria get the chance.
5. Choose food with care.
Because the safest meal is not simply the one that looks good—it is the one that was handled right from start to finish.

Safe choices before every bite. Healthier families after every meal.

In celebration of Alzheimer's Disease Awareness, take a moment to read our article "Nourish to Remember" and learn how adequate/proper nutrition can support brain health and help reduce the risk of cognitive decline and overall well-being.

Alzheimer's disease is one of the most common causes of progressive memory loss among older adults. It is a condition that gradually affects memory, thinking, behavior, and the ability to perform everyday activities. While occasional forgetfulness can be a normal part of healthy aging, persistent memory problems that interfere with daily life, relationships, and independence may indicate a more serious concern.

Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Week was celebrated during the third week of September, it is important to increase public understanding of the condition, reduce stigma, and encourage support for individuals and families affected by Alzheimer’s Disease. Raising awareness can help people recognize potential warning signs, understand the challenges faced by those living with the disease, and seek appropriate medical support when needed.

Alongside awareness and medical care, nutrition is an important aspect of overall health and healthy aging, particularly in relation to Alzheimer’s disease. The brain requires a variety of nutrients to support its normal functions, and maintaining a balanced diet can contribute to overall brain and physical health. Although nutrition cannot cure or prevent the disease on its own, healthy eating habits may support brain health and help address nutritional challenges that can occur as the disease progresses. Just as proper nutrition helps protect the heart, it also plays a vital role in keeping the brain healthy throughout life. Understanding the relationship between Alzheimer’s disease and nutrition can therefore help promote better health, well-being, and quality of life for individuals and their caregivers.

Research has shown that poor dietary quality is associated with cognitive impairment and an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Diets high in refined carbohydrates, added sugars, and highly processed foods may contribute to inflammation and the accumulation of harmful proteins in the brain that are linked to Alzheimer's disease. Similarly, the Western dietary pattern, which is often rich in processed foods, saturated fats, and sugary beverages, has been associated with a greater risk of cognitive decline and dementia.

On the other hand, healthier eating patterns have demonstrated potential benefits for brain health. The Mediterranean diet, which emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, fish, and healthy fats such as olive oil, has been associated with improved memory, better cognitive performance, and a lower risk of developing dementia. Studies have also found that individuals who closely follow a Mediterranean-style diet may experience slower memory decline and better preservation of brain structure as they age.

Another dietary approach gaining attention is the MIND (Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay) diet, which combines elements of the Mediterranean and DASH diets. The MIND diet encourages the regular consumption of leafy green vegetables, berries, whole grains, beans, nuts, fish, poultry, and olive oil while limiting fried foods, processed meats, sweets, and foods high in saturated fat. These foods provide essential nutrients that support brain function and may help protect against age-related cognitive decline.

Certain nutrients are also believed to contribute to brain health. Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA found in fish, nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils, have been associated with slower rates of cognitive decline and a reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease. Antioxidant-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables may help combat oxidative stress, which is believed to play a role in the development and progression of Alzheimer's disease. Adequate intake of vitamins such as vitamin D, vitamin B12, and vitamin E has also been linked to better cognitive health, although more research is needed to fully understand their effects.

While nutrition alone cannot prevent or cure Alzheimer's disease, adopting healthy dietary habits remain one of the most practical and accessible ways to support lifelong brain health. Combined with regular physical activity, mental stimulation, quality sleep, and social engagement, a balanced diet can be an important part of a comprehensive approach to reducing the risk of cognitive decline and promoting healthy aging.
