NUTRITION AND DIET THERAPY

1.) YOUR GUIDE TO GOOD NUTRITION (YGGN)

There are three (3) guides to attain proper and good nutrition. The first
nutritional guide is the 10 Kumainments developed by the National Nutrition
Council (NNC) composed of ten (10)  recommendations to be easily
remembered by the Filipinos. It is the popular version  of the Revised
Nutritional Guidelines for Filipinos. It was launched to improve the nutritional
status and eating habits of Filipinos and help combat malnutrition and diet-
associated illnesses. The ten messages are 1) Kumain ng iba’t-ibang pagkain,
2) Sa unang anim na buwan ni baby, breastfeeding lamang; mula anim na
buwan, bigyan din siya ng ibang angkop na pagkain, 3) Kumain ng gulat at
prutas araw-araw, 4) Kumain ng isda, karne at ibang pagkaing may protina,
5) Uminom ng gatas; kumain ng pagkaing mayaman sa calcium, 6) Tiyaking
malinis at ligtas ang ating pagkain at tubig, 7) Gumamit ng iodized salt,
8) Hinay-hinay sa maaalat, mamantika at matatamis, 9) Panatilihin ang
tamang timbang, and 10) Maging aktibo. Iwasan ang alak at huwag
manigarilyo.

The second nutritional guide is the Pinggang Pinoy developed by the Food

and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) of Department of Science and
Technology (DOST) is a new, easy to understand food guide that uses a
familiar food plate model to convey the right food group proportions on a per
meal basis to meet the body’s  energy and nutrient needs of an adult. This is
a visual tool to guide Filipinos in consuming the right amount of food in every
meal. Also, Pinggang Pinoy of five population groups namely, kids, teens,
adults, elderly, pregnant and lactating women vary from each other.

The last nutritional guide is the Nutritional Guide Pyramid by the Food and
Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) of Department of Science and Technology
(DOST) to guide on how much 1) fats and oils, 2) sugar, 3) meat and poultry,
 4) milk and milk products, 5) vegetables, 6) fruits, 7) rice and rice products
and 8) water or beverages should a Filipino eat in one day. Aside from that,
this guide encourages Filipinos to exercise and practice personal and
environmental hygiene for a healthy living. Note that pyramids differ in seven
population groups - toddlers, kids, teens, adults, elderly, pregnant women and
lactating women.

2.) PLATE MODEL

The plate model helps you to put together a balanced meal. It is also excellent
for giving you an idea of the basic elements of the recommended diet.

3.) FOOD PYRAMID

The Food Pyramid is designed to make healthy eating easier. It shows the
different food groups and how much of each we need to have a healthy diet.
Eating the right amount from each food group is called eating a "balanced"
diet.
4.) RECOMMENDED ENERGY AND NUTRIENT INTAKES (RENI)

The set of updated standards is now called Recommended Energy and

Nutrient Intakes (RENIs), defined as levels of intakes of energy and nutrients
which, on the basis of current scientific knowledge, are considered adequate
for the maintenance of good health and well-being of nearly all healthy
Filipinos. As in the 1989 edition, intakes of energy, protein, calcium,
phosphorus, iron, iodine, zinc, vitamins A, C, D and E, thiamin, riboflavin,
niacin, folate, pyridoxine, water and electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride)
are recommended in this new edition. The desirable proportions of protein,
fats, carbohydrates as well as fiber are also provided, in addition to
information on recommended intake levels for selenium, magnesium,
manganese, fluoride, cobalamin, and vitamin K.

5.) NUTRITIONAL GUIDELINES FOR FILIPINOS

The Nutritional Guidelines for Filipinos (NGF) is a set of dietary guidelines

based on the eating pattern, lifestyle, and health status of Filipinos.

The NGF contains all the nutrition messages to healthy living for all age
groups from infants to adults, pregnant and lactating women, and the elderly.

The 2012 NGF now includes the basis and justification for each of the ten
nutritional and health message.

Below are the new messages of the 2012 NGF:

- Eat a variety of foods everyday to get the nutrients needed by the body.
- Breastfeed infants exclusively from birth up to six months and then give
appropriate complementary foods while continuing breastfeeding for two
years and beyond for optimum growth and development.
- Eat more vegetables and fruits to get the essential vitamins, minerals, and
fiber for regulation of body processes.
- Consume fish, lean meat, poultry, egg, dried beans or nuts daily for growth
and repair of body tissues.
 - Consume milk, milk products, and other calcium-rich food such as small fish
and shellfish, everyday for healthy bones and teeth.
- Consume safe foods and water to prevent diarrhea and other food-and
water-borne diseases.
- Use iodized salt to prevent Iodine Deficiency Disorders.
- Limit intake of salty, fried, fatty, and sugar-rich foods to prevent
cardiovascular diseases.
- Attain normal body weight through proper diet and moderate physical activity
to maintain good health and help prevent obesity.
- Be physically active, make healthy food choices, manage stress, avoid
alcoholic beverage, and do not smoke to help prevent lifestyle-related non-
communicable disease.
The revisions were made based on the results of the 2008 National Nutrition
Survey (NNS) conducted by FNRI-DOST.
