Nutrition Month Celebration

"Kalamidad Paghandaan: Gutom at Malnutrisyon Agapan"

                Different calamities were coming every now and then. by those, many people’s houses and lives were wasted. But we must know how to handle it to prevent such disaster that can destroy one’s life.


          When July comes, Nutrition Month was celebrated for this is to remind us the month of eating nutritious foods not only by this month but every day. The year's theme is "Kalamidad Paghandaan: Gutom at Malnutrisyon Agapan".Does this theme ring a bell? Well yes, because it was based on the typhoon Yolanda who made a big disaster here in the Philippines were many Filipinos lives and casualties were lost. This is to promote interventions to address nutritional needs in emergencies and disasters including preparedness, response and recovery; mobilize respondents particularly the local nutrition clusters and stakeholders to address gaps in nutrition in emergencies response from national to barangay levels; and increase awareness among families and individuals on coping and resiliency strategies to prevent malnutrition and worsening of nutritional status in times of emergencies and disasters. 

                Like what they say, Prevention is better.
