WHO emphasizes that proven strategies such as breastfeeding counseling, baby-friendly hospitals, maternity leave, workplace support, and stronger protections against inappropriate breast milk substitute marketing can significantly improve breastfeeding outcomes. The campaign calls on governments, healthcare systems, workplaces, communities, and families to invest in and expand these effective approaches. By strengthening breastfeeding support, we can give every child a healthier start in life while creating lasting social and economic benefits. 💗

Instead of obsessively counting every calorie, Harvard Health suggests focusing on calorie awareness by understanding your body's needs and choosing foods that support your health and weight goals. Simple habits like controlling portion sizes can help prevent overeating without the stress of constant tracking. The article also notes that a lower-carbohydrate eating pattern may help some people burn more calories while maintaining weight loss. Reducing added sugars can also support both calorie control and overall health. Long-term weight management is about building healthy eating habits and learning to recognize your body's hunger and fullness cues, not just counting numbers. 💚

BS Nutrition and Dietetics is not home economics. It is not culinary arts.

The truth is, our course is a 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺. We study biochemistry, anatomy, physiology, microbiology, and research, the same science-heavy subjects you’ll find in other health science courses.

Many people think Registered Nutritionist-Dietitians (RNDs) only work in kitchens or tell people what to eat. 🍽️ In reality, our profession goes far beyond meal planning.

BS Nutrition and Dietetics trains professionals who prevent malnutrition, treat diet-related diseases, and shape food policy. 𝙒𝙚 𝙙𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙤𝙙; 𝙬𝙚 𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙖𝙨 𝙢𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙚.💚🍎

This July, the NDAP Foundation proudly joins the entire nation in celebrating Nutrition Month 2026, embracing this year's theme:
“Nutrisyon at Kalikasan, Ating Pangalagaan!” 🌎💚

The National Nutrition Council (NNC) highlights the important connection between nutrition and environmental protection, reminding us that caring for our planet is essential to ensuring sustainable food systems, food security, and better nutrition for present and future generations.

As nutrition and dietetics professionals, Registered Nutritionist-Dietitians play a vital role in promoting healthy, sustainable, and climate-resilient food choices. This celebration reinforces our commitment to advancing nutrition education, supporting environmentally responsible food practices, reducing food waste, and helping communities achieve healthier lives through nutrition.

For the ND community, Nutrition Month is more than a celebration; it is a call to action. It inspires us to strengthen our advocacy for nutrition security, collaborate with communities and stakeholders, and champion programs that protect both human health and the environment. Together, we can help build resilient food systems and ensure nutrisyong sapat para sa lahat.

Let us continue to lead, educate, and inspire positive change - one meal, one community, and one sustainable choice at a time.
