2024 marks the 50th year Nutrition Month in the Philippines. For the 50th Nutrition Month, the National Nutrition Council has chosen the theme: “Sa Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition (PPAN) Sama-Sama sa Nutrisyong Sapat Para sa Lahat.” It aims to improve nutrition across all the life stages through strategies such as improving consumption of healthier diets, adoption of positive nutrition practices and increased access to quality nutrition services.

This Nutrition Month it’s time to refresh ourselves about PINGGANG PINOY and 10 KUMAINMENTS developed by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and National Nutrition Council (NNC).

The holidays are quickly approaching. While you’re enjoying the holiday season, it’s important to stay healthy to protect yourself and your loved ones. Here are some tips for staying healthy during the holidays.

This January, we are observing the National Deworming Month with the campaign theme: “Makilahok sa Oplan Goodbye Bulate para maging malusog, masigla, at matalino ang inyong mga anak!”. It aims to combat and reduce Soil Transmitted Helminth Infections (STH) through mass drug administration of anthelmintic medicines to at-risk populations such as children, pregnant women, food handlers, farmers and indigenous populations.
