As we celebrate the 51st Dinagyang Festival 2019 in Iloilo City, the National Nutrition Council (NNC), Region VI reminds the public of some items in the 10 KUMAINMENTS to stay well-nourished throughout the festivity.

I.     Kumain ng iba’t-ibang pagkain.

• Eat a variety of foods every day. No single food can give all the nutrients your body needs.

III.   Kumain ng gulay at prutas araw-araw

• Choose fruits in season like chico, mango, tambis, star apple, kamunsil, banana, etc., and leafy green and yellow vegetables like carrots, cucumber, raddish, ampalaya, etc. this is to ensure that your body gets proper nutrients.

IV. Tiyaking malinis at ligtas ang ating pagkain at tubig.

• Remember to drink plenty of water and bring your water bottle with you.

VIII. Hinay-hinay sa maaalat, mamantika at matatamis.

• Choosing these kinds of foods will do more harm than good to your body. Remember your heart and other vital organs that will be affected by consuming these kinds of foods.

X. Maging aktibo, iwasan ang alak; huwag manigarilyo.

• We can still have fun during Dinagyang without smoking and too much alcoholic drinks. Remember the city ordinance on anti-smoking.

  ENJOY!  Hala Bira!
