The 48th Nutrition Month celebration with the theme "New Normal na Nutrisyon, Sama-samang Gawan ng Solusyon."

Makatutulong ang pagkain ng mga masustansyang pagkain para maging malakas at malusog ang katawan ng mga bata. Ito rin ay mahalaga upang sila’y magkaroon ng better school performance at maging matibay ang kanilang resistensya, pati na rin ng buong pamilya lalo na sa panahon ng pandemya. Isa sa mga paraan upang masigurong sariwa at maayos ang kalidad ng pagkain ng pamilya, ay ang pagkakaroon ng sariling tanim na gulay sa mga tahanan. Maaaring maging sapat ang supply ng masusustansyang gulay para sa pamilya kahit patuloy na tumataas ang presyo ng mga pagkain sa pamilihan. Ang mga inaning gulay ay mula sa backyard garden ay siguradong fresh at ligtas para sa consumption ng buong pamilya. Dagdag pa ito sa kagandahan ng bahay at paligid lalo na kung naging maayos at wasto ang pag-aalaga sa mga ito.

Linangin ang kakayahan ng mga bata sa pagtatanim at ito’y isama sa mga regular na family bonding. Pagtatanim ay ugaliin, malusog na kinabukasan ay aanihin!

Bahagi ng isang overall wellness ang maayos na mental health, kung kaya’t bukod sa pagtutok sa nutritional status ng mga mag-aaral, mahalagang bigyan din ng pansin ang kanilang kalusugang pangkaisipan. Mahalaga ang palagiang paggabay at pag-unawa mula mga magulang o guardian.
Ayon sa pag-aaral, ang mga batang nakagawiang kumain ng mga masusustansyang pagkain ay nagtataglay ng mas maayos na mental health at well-being. Nakatutulong ito upang mag-improve ang kanilang attention span, focus at overall school performance.
