The holiday season is a time for joy, togetherness, and of course, delicious food! As we celebrate with our loved ones, let us make this season not just merry, but healthy too.

Here are DOST-FNRI’s simple yet powerful reminders to help us prepare a healthier holiday table:

🥗 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘀. Brighten your meals with colorful, flavorful, and nutrient-packed produce. Include local favorites like squash, malunggay, carrots, papaya, and bananas for a more nutritious and budget-friendly noche buena.

🍗 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀, such as fish, chicken, or trimmed pork and beef to reduce unhealthy fat intake while still keeping dishes satisfying.

✖️ 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝘁𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀. Too much sodium and fat can increase the risk of hypertension and other lifestyle-related diseases, even during the holidays. Enjoy these foods in moderation and balance them with healthier options.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗼 𝗡𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵

Childhood nutrition is one of the strongest foundations of a child’s future, shaping their growth, learning, and overall potential. But in many Filipino households, one long-standing belief continues to cloud how we define real health: the idea that a chubby child is a healthy child. Though rooted in love and tradition, this assumption often distracts families from recognizing the true signs of proper nourishment and healthy development.
