Not consuming healthy diets results to
• Increased risk of obesity, heart disease, diabetes, cancer
• Stress, tiredness, reduced capacity to work (short-term)
• Undernutrition including stunting, wasting,
• Micronutrient deficiencies or excess
• Increased risk of dying and disability- adjusted life years (DALYs)*
• Violation of the human right to adequate food
• Not meet Sustainable Development Goals particularly Goal 2 on
ending hunger and all forms of malnutrition

* DALYs for a disease or health condition are the sum of the years of life lost to due to premature

Practical Ways to Consume Healthier Diets

1. Create a meal plan and refer to the Pinggang Pinoy.

2. Cook meals at home instead of eating outside the home.
3. Incorporate fruits, vegetables, legumes and nuts in daily meals.
Choose green leafy vegetables that are relatively inexpensive
and rich in protein.
4. Avoid buying highly processed foods and instead buy whole
foods.
5. Replace meat with other proteins such as legumes, eggs, small
fishes and canned fish.
6. Grow own foods at home or in communities.
Key Messages for Individuals, Families and Communities

1. Start children on a healthy diet with exclusive breastfeeding in the first six
months and continued breastfeeding up to two years and beyond with
appropriate complementary feeding.

2. Eat a variety of unprocessed or minimally processed foods, balanced across

food groups, while restricting highly processed food and drink products.

3. Have family and community food gardens as an additional source of food.

4. Buy food from local farmers.
