“𝙋𝙬𝙚𝙙𝙚 𝙥𝙖 𝙮𝙖𝙣! 𝙒𝙖𝙡𝙖 𝙥𝙖 𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙖𝙮𝙗 𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙨 𝙚𝙝!”

Likas sa atin ang ugaling panghihinayang kaya’t maraming naniniwala sa “5-second rule”. Pero paalala ng mga siyentipiko, ang bacteria o mikrobyo ay mabilis kumapit sa mga nahulog na pagkain kahit mabilis itong napulot. 🦠

𝗢𝗽𝗼, 𝗺𝗮𝗮𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗸𝗮𝘀𝗮𝗸𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗸𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼. Huwag magpakampante dahil ang malinis na sahig, may nakatagong mikrobyo.

So ano? Ang nahulog na pagkain, dapat pa bang kainin? 💭

Healthy eating isn’t only about what’s on your plate. It’s also about how you eat. Practicing mindful eating helps you enjoy food more, improve digestion, and avoid overeating.

Try these small but powerful habits:
⏳ Eat slowly and chew your food well
📵 Avoid distractions like your phone or TV
🍴 Listen to your hunger and fullness cues
🥗 Start with smaller portions
💧 Drink water before and during meals

Mindful eating turns every meal into a moment to nourish your body and not just to fill it. 💚

If you’re not sure where to start or want a plan that fits your lifestyle, reach out for personalized nutrition guidance because healthy eating looks different for everyone.

Healthy eating doesn’t have to mean giving up your favorites. It's about making small, sustainable changes. Choosing better alternatives can help reduce excess sugar, fat, and calories while still keeping meals satisfying. 🌿

Here are some simple swaps to try:
🍦 Ice cream → Frozen yogurt (lighter, still creamy)
🍚 White rice → Brown rice (more fiber and nutrients)
🍟 Fries → Air-fried sweet potato fries (less oil, more vitamins)
🍔 Cheeseburger → Homemade whole wheat burger (control the ingredients)
🧋 Milk tea → Homemade version with less sugar (same flavor, healthier)
🥤 Frappe → Banana oat smoothie (natural sweetness, energy boost)
🍿 Chips → Air-popped popcorn (less fat, more crunch)

Small swaps like these can make everyday meals healthier.
No need for drastic changes, just smarter choices. 😉

If you’re looking for personalized nutrition guidance that fits your lifestyle, don’t hesitate to reach out. Every healthy journey starts with one small change.

MYTH or FACT?

Skipping meals helps you lose weight.

❌ MYTH. Research shows skipping meals, especially breakfast, is linked to a higher risk of overweight and obesity. When we skip a meal, our body tends to increase hunger hormones, which can slow metabolism and make us more likely to overeat later in the day.

📖: Ma X, Chen Q, Pu Y, et al. Skipping breakfast is associated with overweight and obesity: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Obes Res Clin Pract. 2020. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31918985/
