We all aspire to be healthy and happy. People often say that health is wealth, indeed it is true. We can all be healthy if we have the determination, perseverance and discipline when it comes to choosing the healthier foods. After its successful launch in Metro Manila, the National Nutrition Council (NNC) pushes its "10 Kumainments”campaign to all 17 regions of the country, through the local government units (LGUs) as its drivers.
The campaign, which provides “the recommended guide” for Filipinos to obtain a healthy diet by following simple guidelines,has been translated into local dialects, including Cebuano and Ivatan. The NNC-ARMM(Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao) has even made a transliteration of the nutritional guidelines in Arabic and called it the Nutritional Guidelines for Muslim Filipinos, which cites teachings in the Qur’an, showing support for each of the guidelines.
