Flu season is here.

Around 75,000 cases of Influenza-like Illnesses (ILI) have been reported in the Philippines so far this year — slightly fewer than last year and still within the usual flu trend.

Most cases are mild and go away with rest and care, but flu can be more serious for young children, older people, and those with chronic conditions or weak immunity.

Simple preventive habits help reduce the spread of illness:
✅Get the flu shot
✅Cover coughs & sneezes with a bent elbow or a tissue; dispose of used tissue in a closed bin
✅Wash hands regularly
✅Stay home if you feel sick
✅Open windows when possible, to encourage airflow
✅Avoid touching eyes, nose & mouth
✅Avoid close contact with a sick person
✅If you’re experiencing mild flu symptoms & need to leave home, wear a mask

Help protect yourself & loved ones.

For healthy diets, eat a variety of minimally processed and unprocessed foods to ensure you get enough essential micronutrients while reducing unhealthy fats, sugars and salt.

🥗🫛🍊🥑 Choose fruits, vegetables, whole grains, pulses, nuts and seeds with limited to moderate amounts of animal source foods such as fish, lean meat and dairy.

Aim for:
☑️ Adequacy (enough nutrients),
☑️ Balance (protein, fats and carbs),
☑️ Moderation (less of what harms our health),
☑️ Diversity (different food groups).

Individual needs may vary.
