WHAT IS NUTRITION
MONTH?
15
Presidential decree 491 in 1974 declared that
nutrition month shall be held every July to
create greater awareness on the importance of
nutrition among filipinos. The Law mandates
the national nutrition council (NNC) to
coordinate and lead the Nationwide campaign.
16
The 2019 nutrition month theme is
“Kumain nang wasto at maging

aktibo… push natin ‘to!”
(Eat healthy and do physical activity

… let’s push this!)
17
Objectives of the 2019 Nutrition Month?
 Promote the consumption of healthy diets,
increased physical activity, and reduced
sedentary behavior through activities of daily
living among individuals and families;
 Encourage the food industry including

farmers, manufacturers, distributors
and food establishments to produce and make
available healthier food
options; and 18
 Advocate for the enactment of
national and local
legislation/policies and
policies at the workplace, school
and other venues that are
supportive of an enabling
environment for healthy diets and
physical activity.
19
What is the rationale for
promoting nutrition and
physical activity?
20
o Physical activity and diet are two modifiable
risk factors to non-communicable diseases.
o Regular physical activity protects against

coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, some
cancers, hypertension, obesity, clinical
depression, and other
chronic disorders.
21
o Sedentary behavior (prolonged sitting) may be a distinct
risk factor, independent of physical activity, for multiple
adverse health outcomes in adults.
There is some evidence that suggests that nutrition and
physical activity have complementary and interactive
effects on many physiological parameters including energy
balance, lipid balance, and glucose balance. Improving
both nutrition and physical activity can result to better
health outcomes.
22
What are the key
messages of
Nutrition Month?
23
A. Have ONE hour or more of
physical activity every day.
B. Reduce screen time to TWO hours

or less each day.
C. Eat the THREE food groups every

day for variety.
24
What is physical activity?
-any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that
requires energy expenditure.
1 This includes walking, sports, active forms of recreation
(zumba, yoga, etc.) and tasks in the house (cleaning, carrying,

etc.). Exercise, on the other hand, is a form of physical activity
that is planned, structured, repetitive, and purposive.
2 Exercise is performed during leisure time with the primary
purpose of improving or maintaining physical fitness, physical

performance, or health.
25
What is physical inactivity and sedentary behavior?
Physical inactivity?
-refersto a level of activity that is lower than that
required to maintain good health or lower than
recommended guidelines.
It is different from sedentary behavior which is defined

as any waking behavior characterized by an energy
expenditure ≤ 1.5 metabolic equivalents, such as when a
person sits or lies down for long periods.
26
What are the benefits of physical activity?
1) Prevention, delay or management of non-
communicable diseases
2) Weight management
3) Muscle and bone strength
4) Mental health
5) Better sleep
6.) Promotes overall well-being
27
What is a healthy diet?
A healthy diet is one that is able to maintain energy balance to carry out everyday
tasks and ensure proper functioning of the body. It protects against malnutrition
and non-communicable diseases .
For adults, a healthy diet consists of the following:
a. Vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, and whole grains;
b. At least 400 grams of vegetables and fruits per day excluding starchy roots such
as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cassava;
c. Less than 10% of total energy intake from free sugars, which is equivalent to 50
grams or about 12 level teaspoons for a person of healthy body consuming about
2000 calories per day. 28
d. Less than 30% of total energy intake from fats with less
than 10% of total energy intake from saturated fats and less
than 1% of total energy intake
from trans-fats.
Saturated fats are found in fatty meat, butter, palm and
coconut oil, cream, cheese, and lard while trans fats are
found in fried, baked, or pre-packaged foods such as frozen
pizzas, pies, cookies, biscuits, wafers, spreads, shortening
and margarine; and
e. Less than 5 grams of salt equivalent to about one teaspoon
intake per day.

guide on what kinds of food and the recommended
proportion consumed per meal.

• Accumulate at least 60 minutes of moderate- to vigorous-intensity

physical activity daily.
• Amounts of physical activity greater than 60 minutes provide

additional health benefits.
• Most of the daily physical activity should be aerobic.
• Incorporate vigorous-intensity activities, including those that

strengthen muscle and bone, at least 3 times per week.
