TCU Nutrition month

1. 1. IntroductionJuly is celebrated nationwide on the barangay, municipal, city, provincial,

and local levels as Nutrition Month in the Philippines toencourage everyone to eat
healthy and nutritious foods.Good nutrition is important for everyone.Healthful diets help
children grow, develop, and do well in school. They enable people of all ages to work
productively and feeltheir best. What people eat can also reduce the risk of diseases such
as heart disease, certain cancers, diabetes, stroke, andosteoporosis.Eating right can reduce
the risk of obesity, high blood pressure, and high blood cholesterol which increase the
risk of disease.Proper nutrition means getting both enough calories and the proper
nutrients. Many people eat more calories than the bodyneeds. This can lead to obesity
which is a risk factor for many diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.Today,
good nutrition has become more important than ever. There is also now a variety of
dietary preferences to choose from,based on cultural diversity, religion and regional
differences, and personal preferences. Nutritional needs change throughoutthe life cycle.
The number of calories and amount of specific nutrients required vary based on age, sex,
reproductive status,activity level, and overall health of the person.Of course food alone is
not the only key to a longer and healthier life. Good nutrition should be part of an overall
healthylifestyle which includes regular exercise, not smoking or drinking alcohol
excessively, stress management, and limiting exposureto environmental hazards. And
genes also play a big part in your risk for certain health problems.As in anything one
does, moderation is the key to good health. Eating too much food can result in excess
weight while eatingtoo little can lead to numerous nutrient deficiencies and low body
mass. Eating healthy and nutritious food is essential to obtainoptimal wellness.
2. 2. “Pagkain ng gulay ugaliin, araw‐araw itong ihain!” National Theme Gulay ay
Pagyabungin, Ito’y Pampahaba ng Buhay Natin. TCU ThemeWhat is Nutrition
Month?Presidential Decree 491 the Nutrition Act of the Philippines appointed the
National Nutrition Council (NNC) as the lead agencyto coordinate the nationwide
celebration of this annual event held every July, the Nutrition Month. Come this 38th
year of Nutrition Month, NNC comes up with a theme to call the nation’s attention and
action on a particular issue.What are objectives of the 2012 Nutrition Month celebration
and what is its theme? The 38th Nutrition Month celebration will focus on vegetables
with the theme“Pagkain ng gulay ugaliin, araw‐araw itong ihain!”The objectives of this
year’s celebration are to: a. increase vegetable consumption as part of a healthy diet to
address micronutrient deficiencies and non‐communicable diseases; b. b. promote
vegetable gardening as a source of additional food and income; and c. increase demand
for vegetables to help local vegetable farmers.
3. 3. Why give importance to vegetables?Nutrition Month focuses on vegetables for several
reasons:a. Filipinos are eating less and less vegetables. Based on food consumption
surveys, Filipinos on average are eating less and less vegetables per day in the last three
decadesb. Across regions, consumption variesc. Influence of family members who do not
eat vegetablesd. Dislike for vegetables because of taste and texturee. Preference for meat
than vegetablesf. Cultural beliefs about vegetables (e.g. eating squash can cause
leprosy)g. Vegetables are expensiveh. Fear of chemicals and pesticidesi. Vegetables
require more time to preparej. Preference for fast foods and instant foodsk. Lack of
supplyl. Lack of knowledge on nutritional and health benefits of vegetables.

21. 21. Challenges Putting up an event is not that easy but very much rewarding. From
gathering all the Class Officers from different sectionsof HRM Seniors, brainstorming
about the logo and the school theme; the programme which was really the backbone of
theevent; the line- ups of the games and contests; the very important people that must be
part of the program; the preliminary andfinal editing up to the invitations to send to all
those people concerned, and most of all, for putting our trust and counting onwith each
other that at the end of the day, everything will turn out good. And it turned out to be the
best and that’s what madeit more rewarding! It was worth all the effort and all the
sleepless nights, indeed! Though we are financially unstable, we learned to reach out to
those who can afford to be sponsors and we can evenbother to take penny out from our
own pockets. Little things that were part of the efforts. Though, there were changes
insectioning this semester, and we met new classmates, still, it became the turning point
for us to build camaraderie and unity.We fought hard for each section. We have achieved
our common goal and not to be the best but be united as one. They said that HRM seniors
have proven enough but I may say that we are still hungry for knowledge and there
willalways be rooms for more improvements that we can use in the future and we can
share and leave behind the students fromour younger level
22. 22. Lessons Learned Though it seems that everything and everybody is on the rush, unity,
camaraderie and friendship were built among us.We worked and stood as one to achieve
our goals. There are certain people who really got the leadership skills who truly stoodup
for the success of the event. The speakers were loaded with self- confidence and
delivered their piece as if they are justtalking in front of the mirror. We have also
developed flexibility and patience. Instead of nagging about someone’s fault, we justdid
our best shot to save time and effort. Everyone’s creativity was challenged from the title
and concept of their CaribbeanCenterpieces, the themes of their posters and slogans, and
to the concept of their booths. The event would not possible without each other.
Everybody has given their best shots in their own little ways. But thoselittle ways have
turned the event into more meaningful, more rewarding, and even more successful one!
23. 23. Recommendations We must develop a sense of time management always. We must
organize things to avoid rushing everything and to getrid of running from everything and
everywhere just to know that everything falls in their proper places. Time management is
a talent everyone must develop. If we truly know that everything is planned accordingly
and wehave our second and even third set set of plans just in case some things happen,
definitely, there will be no haggard momentsduring the event. Everybody will be seated
and very much relaxed watching how the crowd appreciates all the hardships andthe
efforts of the team. It is good to see the team watches with the crowd and applauding
every part of the event!
