Teacher Arian Cavanz introduces the second week's lesson for the second quarter focusing on 'glow foods' that regulate and protect the body due to their richness in minerals and vitamins. Examples include milk, cheese, fish, shellfish, fruits like banana, apple, orange, and vegetables such as green peas, beans, lettuce, and spinach, as well as green leafy vegetables, yellow fruits and vegetables, and citrus fruits.
The video introduces 'Pinggang Pinoy,' a visual tool designed to help Filipinos adopt healthy eating habits. This project, by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) in collaboration with the World Health Organization and National Nutrition Council, aims to guide Filipinos in consuming the right amount of food at every meal through a food plate model. It also advocates for a physically active lifestyle and recommends reducing intake of salty, fried, fatty, and sugar-rich foods to prevent chronic diseases.
Viewers are encouraged to build their own wellness plate applying the Mo'Ba principle, which stands for Moderation in serving portions, Variety of food types, and Balance of food types. The task is to create a wellness plate meal plan for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, using food examples provided by the Pinggang Pinoy.
The lesson concludes by emphasizing that good nutrition combined with physical activity is crucial for maintaining a healthy weight, reducing the risk of chronic diseases, and promoting overall health. A healthy lifestyle and consistent healthy eating habits not only lower the risk of chronic diseases but also improve mental health and physical well-being.
