Holiday Handaan? Dapat balanse!

Dagdagan ang gulay sa mga putahe, pumili ng fresh fruits bilang dessert, at tubig o fresh fruit juice pa rin ang ka-partner. Gamitin ang Pinggang Pinoy bilang guide para sa tamang dami ng pagkain.

Sama-sama nating i-enjoy ang holiday season nang may moderation at smart choices sa pagkain. Mas masaya at mas healthy kapag balanseng handa at masusing kaalaman sa bawat putahe! 🎄✨

Nutrition Facts labels are standardized listings of nutrients found in food. Why do they matter? Because diet-related diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease are on the rise. Labels help consumers make healthier choices, fit favorite foods into balanced diets, and compare products more easily. In other words, they’re a practical tool for prevention.

A quick way to read any Nutrition Facts panel:
1. Start with Serving Size
2. Check Calories vs. Your Needs
3. Use %DV as a Guide
4. Know the Nutrition Terms (low, reduced, good source, etc.)
5. Limit Saturated Fat, Sodium, and Added Sugars
6. Get Enough Fiber, Vitamins & Minerals
7. Check Additional Nutrients like protein and carbs

Follow these steps, and label reading becomes less intimidating and more empowering.
