Mung bean seeds or 𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘨𝘰 are a great source of plant-based protein! Aside from protein for muscle-building, these also provide essential minerals that help regulate body processes and address micronutrient deficiencies.

A cup of boiled mung bean seeds provides approximately 𝟯𝟲𝟮 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗰𝗶𝘂𝗺, almost as much as what a 250 milliliter glass of cow’s milk provides. That is about half, or 48%, of the daily recommended calcium intake for adults.

The same serving offers 𝟭𝟱𝟳 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘂𝘀, amounting to about 22% of an adult’s daily phosphorus needs.

Both minerals are essential for maintaining strong bones and helping regulate blood pressure.

A cup of boiled 𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘨𝘰 is more than just a healthier alternative protein source, but a bone and heart health booster as well!

Stay tuned for more tips and updates to Eat Right, EATS FNRI!

Just wrapped up the Enhanced Usapan training and I couldn’t be more thankful for you guys 🤗 🙌.

This wasn’t just a workshop; it was a meaningful way or step toward transforming the way we connect with our communities about health and wellness. Need jud mag marites 🤣🤣.

From improving our communication strategies to deepening our understanding of maternal and reproductive health, every variant reminded me why barangay health workers are truly the heart of grassroots healthcare. 💖 ( Walang katapusang trabaho 😞 )

For me, Usapan is no longer just a conversation, it’s now a tool for empathy, empowerment, and change. 😅🤗. baka naman, mr. president, approved niyo na po 🙏🙏.

To my fellow health warriors, Thank you for your dedication, your insights, and your unshakable spirit. 🤣🤣. Kay sa expectation palang kuyawan nata! ✌️🤣.

As we celebrate the 51st Nutrition Month, we echo the powerful message: ‘Food and Nutrition Security, Maging Priority – Sapat na Pagkain, Karapatan Natin!’

This year’s theme reminds us that access to safe, nutritious, and sufficient food is not a privilege, but a basic human right. Together with our communities, stakeholders, and local leaders, we reaffirm our commitment to fight hunger, reduce malnutrition, and promote sustainable food systems.

Let this celebration be a call to action — to prioritize nutrition in every household, empower families, and build a healthier and more resilient Asturias!
