Cebu City - Eat a variety of foods every day to get the nutrients needed by the body. When it comes to food intake, there is a mantra that is so simple to abide by--always in Moderation, Variety, and Balance (or simply MVB). The amount of food that we put in our mouths must be in moderation, have different food sources, and should always be balanced in nutrients.
There never is an ultimate magic bullet of nutrients that can protect us from illness. We need more than 40 different nutrients for good health, and no single food can supply all of them. Our plates should include a portion of vegetables, fruits, rice, white meat, and fibrous foods.
