Eating well is fundamental and essential to good health and well-being. When combined
with being physically active and maintaining a healthy weight, eating well is an excellent way to
help your body stay strong and healthy. In order for us to eat well and have healthy eating, we
use the Filipino Food Pyramid Guide, which is one of the tools of Nutrition used in the life
stages (i.e., pregnancy, lactation, children, adolescence, and adults). These pyramids were
developed and designed to make healthy eating easier for different population groups. It shows
the different food groups, which are divided into different levels of recommended consumption
to have a healthy diet.

Personally, I believe following and utilizing these food pyramid guides are really
important for us to apply in our daily lives. It plays an essential role in the health education of the
majority of Filipino people, which guides them on how to eat healthily and stay healthy. We all
know that nutrition is important for everyone no matter what their age is. Thus, through the use
of these food guides, we can have a balanced diet by eating a variety of foods that is in the right
amount from each group, which will provide us a healthy range of nutrients that are needed daily
to maintain our health, feel good, have energy, and stay at a healthy weight. Moreover, having a
balanced diet and good nutrition will also help us in the long-term, which can reduce our risk of
developing cardiovascular disease, hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, osteoporosis, etc.
Furthermore, the food pyramid guides also include messages about exercise and personal and
environmental hygiene, which serve as support messages for the pyramid.

Thus, I believe following this Filipino Food Pyramid Guide is highly recommended to
everyone. It helps us improve our eating habits and make healthy eating easier for us. Besides, it
is really easy to understand and use. You don’t really have to be an expert on nutrition to use it.
However, we must also remember that these food pyramid guides are not a way to cure anything
or solve any immediate problems as it; it is a guideline that helps people to understand what they
should be eating to be and stay healthy.

values and high in sugar and
sodium, which could lead to
excessive weight gain.

Remarks:

Nowadays, myths in terms of Food, Nutrition, and Diet therapy are very rampant. These
misconceptions, which are believed to be true by some individuals usually have no basis or
evidences to support their claim and sometimes very stereotypical. They are everywhere, they’re
hard to avoid, and sometimes if these myths are not rectified they can derail your best intentions
to follow a healthy, balanced diet. Hence, it is very important to educate people about these
existing myths and teach them the facts about what they’re eating so that they can make the most
informed food choices and learn how to develop healthy eating habits and lifestyle.
