FOOD PYRAMID - is a triangular or pyramid-shaped nutrition guide divided into sections that show the
recommended intake of each food group.
The Food Pyramid is a diagram developed by nutrition experts all over the world to illustrate the balance
of foods needed for a healthy lifestyle. It serves as a nutritional guideline in wisely choosing food to
obtain the best balance of nutrients in the diet. The three major food groups are placed in the Food
Pyramid, with indicators of healthy eating habits in terms of what foods one must eat. The food groups
are classified as follows:
1. Eat Least: foods, which are high in fat, sugar, salt, and alcohol. This food group is at the top of the
pyramid.
2. Eat Moderately: foods with high protein content but which have high fat level (e.g., pork, beef,
chicken, milk, and eggs). This food group is in the middle of the pyramid.
3. Eat Most: foods, which are high in fiber and low in fat and sugar. A large proportion of these foods in
the diet will help control weight and reduce fat levels in the blood. These are foods, which make up the
base of the pyramid and should be the biggest part of the diet.
The foods are to be chosen from all three levels in the proportion shown, to make sure that there is a
good balance of nutrients and variety in the diet. As used in meal planning, the Food Pyramid is a visual
delight in the preparation of a nutritious and balanced diet. It facilitates the planning of some meals,
which may require special diets for particular persons with health problems. More importantly, majority
of normal diners is assured of a guide to healthful eating.
The Nutritional Guidelines for Filipinos (NGF) is a set of dietary guidelines based on the eating
pattern, lifestyle, and health status of Filipinos.
The NGF contains all the nutrition messages to healthy living for all age groups from infants to
adults, pregnant and lactating women, and the elderly.
The first NGF released in 1990 was composed of five messages called “Dietary Guidelines for
Filipinos.”
In 2012, the Technical Working Group (TWG) for the revision of the NGF, led by the Food and
Nutrition Research Institute of the Department of Science and Technology (FNRI-DOST)
developed a new set of the NGF, based on the 2000 edition.
The 2012 NGF now includes the basis and justification for each of the ten nutritional and health
message.
People are always encouraged to exercise at least thirty minutes a day, three to five times a
week.
Limit alcohol drinking to one drink per day for women and two drinks for men is also advised.
One alcoholic drink is equivalent to one and half ounce distilled beverage such as gin or 12
ounces or a bottle of beer or four ounces wine or half glass wine or an ounce of 100 proof
whiskey.
Let’s practice the ten nutritional guidelines to achieve good health and optimal nutritional
status.
