Cebu City – Having always been busy every year for the July Nutrition Month celebrations, the National Nutrition Council Region VII warms up this year for a marathon, both literally and figuratively.

Running by the theme “Timbang Iwasto sa Tamang Nutrisyon at Ehersisyo”, Central Visayas has been gearing up for a marathon of events that will highlight prevention of over nutrition through promotion of good nutrition and advocating for regular exercise.

As every exercise needs a proper warm up to condition the body, NNC 7 has warm-up activities for their stakeholders starting with a Nutrition Month Sales Conference on 09 June 2015 and a Press Conference on 30 June 2015. Both activities aim to gain support from different stakeholders in Central Visayas, the media and the community in general.

As far as the marathon of activities are concerned, highlights will start with the annual launching on 01 July 2015 with a Holy Mass, a Cheerdance Competition, a Fun Run dubbed “Pagamay sa Dinaganay” on 04 July 2015 which features not just the run itself but also a Zumbathon and blood-letting activity, a series of weight management counselling activities in malls and schools, thematic lectures, media appearances and the 11th Nutrition Action Officers’ Congress and Grand Nutrition Awards to cap it all up.

A busy month indeed for the nutrition sector and its stakeholders, so we urge everyone to stretch up, warm-up and get ready to be healthy! //NGS
