🌱 Wais na investment para sa bansa ang nutrition at first 1,000 days! Isipin mo: $1 (o PhP58) na ilalagay natin dito, magiging $11 (o PhP643) kapag inilagay sa mga programa kontra-stunting, at $35 (o PhP 2,000) kapag naman inilagay sa mga breastfeeding programs. Ang galing no? 💰📈

Kaya kailangan talaga nating mag-invest sa first 1,000 days, at siguraduhing magagamit nang wasto ang mga investments na ito!

HUMANITY VS. STARVATION

biologist discovered a groundbreaking process called , where cells “eat” their own damaged parts to survive when food is limited. His research showed that when the body lacks nutrients, cells recycle themselves to create energy and basic materials needed to keep us alive.

Ohsumi’s work earned him the 2016 in Physiology or Medicine and opened new paths in , from understanding disease to studying how cells handle stress. His findings explain how short periods of fasting can activate autophagy, helping the body clear viruses and bacteria — but they also highlight something deeper: what happens when is long-term, forced, and used as a weapon.

His discovery reminds us that while the body has ways to survive , deliberate starvation in conflict remains one of the most inhumane tactics in . | Amelia Clarissa de Luna Monasterial

Ayon sa mga doctor, mas mabuti ang kumain ng husto sa umaga para sa enerhiya at metabolismo.

Almusal: Kumain sa loob ng 1-2 oras pagkagising para simulan ang metabolismo at magbigay ng enerhiya.

Tanghalian: Kumain 4-5 oras pagkatapos ng almusal. Ang maagang tanghalian ay nakakatulong sa mas mahusay na metabolismo at pamamahala ng timbang.

Hapunan: Kumain ng 2-3 oras bago matulog para sa maayos na pagtunaw at maiwasan ang pagkaabala sa tulog.

Merienda: Kung ang agwat ng pagkain ay higit sa 4-5 oras, isang maliit na balansadong merienda na may protina, fiber, at malusog na fats ang makakatulong.

Prevention is better than cure. Sa pamamagitan ng tamang nutrisyon, healthy lifestyle, at regular check-up, maiiwasan ang Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).

A TASTE OF TRADITION

The Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL) announced on Friday, October 3, that the Geographical Indication (GI) registration of Alburquerque Asin Tibuok from Bohol has been granted, marking it as one of the country's cultural and economic treasures.

A geographical indication (GI) refers to products originating from a specific location, possessing qualities or a reputation linked to that origin.

Hailing from Albuquerque, Bohol, the Asin Tibuok is a rare artisanal sea salt produced using a meticulous, centuries-old technique that involves burning coconut husks, filtering ash, and boiling seawater in specialized clay pots to create dense, egg-shaped salt masses.

The Asin Tibuok is unrefined and free of additives, featuring a smoky, sweet flavor complemented by a distinct coconut aroma.

Despite its unique characteristics, the Asin Tibuok faces extinction, with only a few families preserving the tradition due to various factors, such as changing consumption patterns, climate change, rural depopulation, migration, and conflict.

With the registration of Alburquerque Asin Tibuok, the Philippines now boasts three registered geographical indications: Guimaras Mangoes, Aklan Piña, and Alburquerque Asin Tibuok.

"The inclusion of the Alburquerque Asin Tibuok into our growing list of geographical indications further underscores IPOPHL's efforts to safeguard the country's cultural icons, likewise potential economic drivers, under a strengthened intellectual property framework," said IPOPHL Acting Director General Nathaniel S. Arevalo.

In celebration of October as 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡, PAN-Alpha proudly brings back its acclaimed infographic series, "𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬" where we tackle the role of diet and nutrition in mental health.

In observance of 𝐄𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐨 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤, we shed light on 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚. As we age, it’s normal to forget little things like what we had for lunch or where we left our phones. But when memory lapses begin to affect daily life, such as forgetting familiar faces, places, or routines, it may be a sign of dementia.

Dementia is a syndrome that causes a decline in memory, thinking, and daily functioning beyond normal aging. It is a growing global health concern, with cases in the Philippines projected to reach more than 2.5 million by 2050. While dementia is irreversible, nutrition and lifestyle may play a key role in reducing risks, slowing progression, and supporting overall brain health.

It is best to limit foods high in saturated fat, sugar, and alcohol, which can lead to poor blood circulation and other health problems that raise the risk of damaging the brain, which may lead to dementia over time.
