𝐎𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 — 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐞.

Obesity is a complex, chronic disease influenced by genetics, environment, lifestyle, and access to healthcare — not simply a matter of willpower. It increases the risk of serious conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain cancers.

Today is a reminder that prevention, early support, balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, and compassionate care can make a life-changing difference. Let’s move from stigma to support and work together to create healthier communities for all. 💙

Through informed food choices, regular physical activity, and supportive environments, we can work together to prevent obesity and reduce its related health risks.

🌸 #𝐖𝐄𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐛𝐞𝐄𝐪𝐮𝐀𝐋𝐋: 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐖𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞

This National Women’s Month, we honor Filipino women and their vital role in shaping healthier families and stronger communities. Guided by this year’s theme, “𝐖𝐄 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐄𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲,” we recognize that equality is a shared responsibility — 𝘞𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 working together toward empowerment and mutual respect.

Inspired by the 𝐁𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐬, our pre-colonial women leaders known for wisdom, empathy, and care, we celebrate leadership rooted in nurturing and collective well-being. This spirit is reflected in the 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞, where mothers, caregivers, families, and communities play a crucial role in raising healthy, resilient, and future-ready children.

True empowerment happens when support comes from everyone — families, workplaces, communities, and institutions — creating environments where women and children can thrive.

✨ Let us lead with the Babaylan way of care — empathy, inclusion, and shared responsibility

"Giving your heart some love with Pinggang Pinoy 🌟: balanced meals, healthier choices, and a longer life 😊💖

A heart-healthy diet is your primary defense against cardiovascular disease.

Diets heavy in salt, sugar, and unhealthy fats significantly raise the risk of heart attacks and strokes—a critical issue in the Philippines, where heart disease caused one-third of all deaths in 2021.
The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes that lifelong healthy eating is the key to a longer, more vibrant life.

🍽️ Simple Plate Upgrades
You can improve your heart health by making these straightforward adjustments to your meals:
✅ The 50% Rule: Devote half of every plate to a variety of fruits and vegetables.
✅ Smart Carbs: Swap white grains for whole options like brown rice or oats.
✅ Lean Protein: Prioritize fish, poultry, beans, and nuts over fatty red meats.
✅ Healthy Fats: Use oils like olive or canola, and eat fatty fish like bangus or salmon.
✅The "Lessen" List: Keep salt under one teaspoon daily and ensure added sugars make up less than 10% of your total calories.

😉 Small Changes, Lasting Results

The DOST-FNRI created Pinggang Pinoy as a visual guide to help Filipinos master portion control and nutrition effortlessly. By making these minor, consistent shifts in what you eat, you can boost your energy, stabilize your weight, and provide your heart with long-term protection.

🥗 Don't wait—start today. Every meal is an opportunity to choose health for yourself and your family. A strong heart begins with the food you put on your plate.

𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁-𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱: 𝗔𝗻𝗼 𝗜𝘁𝗼?

Ang labis na pagkonsumo ng maalat na pagkain ay nagpapataas ng panganib ng pagkakaroon ng high blood pressure o altapresyon, isang pangunahing sanhi ng sakit sa puso at iba pang cardiovascular diseases.

Batay sa 2023 National Nutrition Survey ng DOST-FNRI, 1 sa bawat 10 Pilipinong may edad 20–59 ang may mataas na presyon ng dugo. Mas mataas ang kaso nito sa mga lalaki (15.4%) kumpara sa mga babae (10.4%), at mas marami ang apektado sa mga nakatira sa urban areas (13.3%) kaysa sa rural areas (12.6%).

Dahil dito, higit na dapat bigyang-diin ang halaga ng pagsulong ng pagkakaroon ng heart-healthy na pagkain sa bawat tahanan. Tumutukoy ito sa pag-iwas sa mga pagkaing mataas sa sodium (maalat), taba, at as**al, at sa pagpili at paghahanda ng masustansyang pagkain.

Halimbawa ng masustansyang pagkain ay prutas at gulay tulad ng mansanas, saging, kamatis, at broccoli; whole grains gaya ng brown rice at oats; lean protein tulad ng isda, manok na walang balat, at tofu; at mga pagkaing may healthy fats gaya ng abokado at mani. Ang ganitong uri ng pagkain ay nakatutulong sa pagpapanatili ng normal na presyon ng dugo at pagbawas ng panganib ng sakit sa puso.

Ayon sa Message #8 ng Nutritional Guidelines for Filipinos (NGF) ng DOST-FNRI, mahalagang limitahan ang sobrang maalat, mamantika, at matatamis na pagkain upang maiwasan ang iba’t ibang cardiovascular diseases.

Kaugnay nito, maaaring gawing mas masustansya ang mga hinahandang pagkain sa pamamagitan ng pagbabawas ng asin o iba pang pampaalat, gaya ng toyo, patis, bagoong, at alamang. Sa halip ay gumamit ng mga natural na pampalasa tulad ng bawang, sibuyas, luya, herbs, kalamansi, at s**a.

Bukod dito, mahalaga rin ang tamang paraan ng pagluluto upang mapanatiling malusog ang puso. Ang pagpapakulo, pag-steam, pag-iihaw, at paggigisa gamit ang kaunting mantika ay nakakatulong hindi lamang sa pagpapanatili ng sustansya ng pagkain, kundi pati na rin sa pagkontrol ng labis na taba.

Kahit abala sa araw-araw, may mga pagkaing madaling ihanda at mabuti para sa puso. Maaaring bisitahin ang 2024 Menu Guide Calendar - Delights for your Heart: Healthy Recipes for Individuals with Hypertension na ginawa ng DOST-FNRI (https://www.fnri.dost.gov.ph/images/images/standardtools/MenuGuideCalendar/MGC-2024.pdf).

Ngayong buwan ng mga puso, mahalagang tandaan na ang pangangalaga sa kalusugan ay nagsisimula sa tahanan at sa hapag-kainan. Sa pamamagitan ng maliliit ngunit tuloy-tuloy na pagbabago sa pagkain at paraan ng pagluluto, nagiging mas abot-kamay ang pagkakaroon ng malusog na puso, maayos na pangangatawan, at mas mataas na kalidad na buhay.
