Nutritional requirements of the human body vary through different age groups. As we age, certain changes make it difficult for nutritional requirements to be met. Individuals aged 60 years old and above belong to the group of older adults. Some of the challenges they face when it comes to eating healthy include difficulty in chewing or swallowing food, deterioration of sense of smell or taste, effect of certain medications, decreased appetite, and lifestyle changes.
Here are some ways to overcome these age-related obstacles and provide proper nourishment to older adults:
Eat a well-balanced diet based on the Pinggang Pinoy
In order to meet their nutritional needs, older adults are encouraged to consume a healthy diet based on the Pinggang Pinoy for older persons. This food guide recommends that half of the plate should contain Glow foods which include a variety of fruits and vegetables that are rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber needed by the body to regulate body processes and fight infection. The other half of the plate should be filled with Go and Grow foods. For energy-giving Go foods, older adults are encouraged to choose complex carbohydrates such as whole grains (brown rice, corn, whole wheat bread, and oatmeal) that are rich in fiber and nutrients which are linked to lower risk of diabetes, heart disease, and other health problems. Grow foods, on the other hand, are protein-rich food items (fish, lean meat, poultry, eggs and legumes) which are needed for the maintenance and repair of body tissues. To protect against heart diseases, consumption of fatty fish such as tuna, sardines and mackerel 2-3 times a week is recommended. For additional calcium needs, low-fat milk and dairy products and other calcium-rich foods like dilis and small shrimps are recommended to help strengthen the bones.
Regular physical activity

The National Nutrition Council (NNC) launched and held the maiden awarding ceremony for the Q-Webby Awards on the third Management Conference on 02 October 2020. Q-Webby Awards is the periodic counterpart of the Annual Webby Awards.
Since the execution of the Annual Webby Awards in 2014, it was noted that several critical performance indicators were not singularly captured and recognized. Initial efforts to co-share responsibility in the management of the NNC Website demonstrated notable performances of web team members and regional publishers that warranted recognition. Periodical recognition of regional offices’ performance in the management of their respective webpages and social media accounts challenges creativity and may increase their chances of being recognized in annual Webby Awards. Thus, the conduct of a quarterly Special Webby Awards, referred to as the NNC-Q Webby Awards.

In observance of Breastfeeding Awareness Month, the Department of Health (DOH), World Health Organization (WHO), and United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) jointly appeal to the public to protect, promote, and support the practice of exclusive breastfeeding of infants from birth up to six months, and continued with complementary feeding onwards with breastfeeding being the most healthy, efficient, and environmentally-sustainable action of mothers for their children.
This year’s theme, “I-BIDA ang Pagpapasuso Tungo sa Wais at Malusog na Pamayanan!”, reinforces the importance of breastfeeding now, more than ever, because of the COVID-19 pandemic which poses a challenge to infant feeding. We enjoin everyone to ensure that Filipino infants will have proper and adequate nutrition to improve their resilience against the disease and minimize the long-term effects of malnutrition, ultimately meeting the country’s commitment to sustainable development.
