What are micronutrients ??

🌱 𝐓𝐢𝐧𝐲 𝐍𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬, 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭!

The first 1,000 days—from pregnancy until a child's 2nd birthday—is the most important period for a child's growth, learning, and lifelong health.

Micronutrients have a big impact. Nutrients such as iron, zinc, iodine, vitamin A, and folate help:

🧠 Build a healthy brain and support learning
🛡️ Strengthen the immune system to fight infections
📈 Promote healthy growth and development
💚 Reduce the risk of stunting and other nutrition-related health problems

Every healthy meal during the First 1,000 Days helps build a stronger, smarter, and healthier future. Together, let's give every child the best possible start in life!

The Senate public hearing on Senate Bill No. 1576, entitled "An Act Creating the National Nutrition Commission, Repealing for the Purpose Presidential Decree No. 491, Entitled 'Creating a National Nutrition Council and for Other Purposes,'" authored by Senator Risa Hontiveros, has concluded.

During the hearing, Undersecretary of Health and concurrent National Nutrition Council Executive Director IV Dr. Albert Francis E. Domingo highlighted the National Nutrition Council's evolution through different administrations and policy mandates, while remaining steadfast in its commitment to achieving the goals of the Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition (PPAN), particularly in addressing the country's triple burden of malnutrition.

Usec. and Executive Director Dr. Domingo likewise expressed the Council's support for the proposed measure, noting that the creation of the National Nutrition Commission recognizes the inherently multisectoral nature of nutrition governance. He emphasized that strengthening the institution's mandate and leadership capacity will enable it to more effectively coordinate nutrition actions and address the country's malnutrition challenges.

The bill can further promote stronger nutrition leadership at the local government level by institutionalizing nutrition offices and providing the necessary staff complement, enabling local government units (LGUs) to more effectively plan, coordinate, implement, and sustain nutrition programs and services.

Ang MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) Tape gigamit aron masukod ang palibot sa bukton sa bata nga 6–59 ka bulan. Kini makatabang sa pag-ila kung ang bata adunay acute malnutrition.

🟥 P**A (Ubos sa 11.5 cm)
➡️ Severe acute malnutrition (SAM)
Kinahanglan dal-on dayon sa health center o ospital aron matambalan ug matagan og saktong pagtagad.

🟨 YELLOW (11.5 cm hangtod 12.4 cm)
➡️ Moderate acute malnutrition (MAM)
I-refer ang bata ngadto sa angay nga mga serbisyo sa nutrisyon, sama sa dietary supplementation, nutrition counseling, ug padayon nga hugot nga pagmonitor.

🟩 GREEN (12.5 cm hangtod 26 cm)
➡️ Normal
Nagpasabot nga normal ang sukod sa bukton sa bata. Padayon sa paghatag og masustansyang pagkaon ug husto nga pag-atiman.

💚 Hinumdumi: Ang sayong pag-ila sa malnutrisyon makatabang aron madali ang paghatag sa hustong tabang ug pag-atiman sa bata.

🟩Explaining the Importance of Healthy / Nutritious Meal🟩

"Pinggang Pinoy" ------ is an essential visual food guide developed by the government to help Filipinos adopt balanced eating habits by using locally available and affordable foods. By dividing a standard meal plate into practical proportions; half for nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables, a quarter for energy-giving grains, and a quarter for body-building proteins; it effectively promotes portion control and fights both undernutrition and lifestyle diseases.

Ang 𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 mao ang kahimtang diin ang usa ka bata mubo ang pagtubo kumpara sa iyang edad tungod sa dugay nga kakulang sa hustong nutrisyon, balik-balik nga sakit, ug dili maayong pag-atiman, ilabina sa unang 1,000 ka adlaw sa kinabuhi.

Dili lamang kini makaapekto sa kataas sa bata, kondili usab sa iyang pagkat-on, paglambo sa utok, resistensya sa sakit, ug umaabot nga potensyal.

Pinaagi sa hustong nutrisyon, eksklusibong pagpasuso, balanse nga pagkaon, ug regular nga pagmonitor sa pagtubo sa bata, mahimo nato kining malikayan.

💚 Sugdan nato ang pag-atiman sa unang 1,000 ka adlaw sa kinabuhi aron matag bata motubo nga himsog, lig-on, ug andam alang sa mas hayag nga kaugmaon.
