composed of high fibre.

too much of them can increase the risks of heart disease develop-
ment due to the increase in blood cholesterol levels.

ing more than 6g daily. This also applies to children who are 11
years old and above. For those less than 11 years should consume
even lesser than the suggested amount.

tices decrease the chances of developing heart diseases or even

weight but also by diseases that are nutrition related such as
diabetes type 2. considering healthy eating practices such as bal-
anced diet can be the best way of healthy weight maintenance.

ing plenty of fluids. Government’s recommendation outlines daily
uptake of 6 to 8 glasses. This is includes the daily fluids gotten
from the food we eat.

is composed of high fibre, low fat, low sugar and salt. This simply

ernment as recommendations by the committee revolve around three
goals:

consumption through measures applied by the retail Outlets

available not only in the local supermarkets, but also in the gro-
cery stores, and corner stores.

foods in restaurants.

Efforts to providing fruits and vegetables in a variety of settings,
such as farmers’ markets and farm stands can be promoted. Be-
sides the efforts can extend to making the resources in context
available not only in mobile markets and community gardens but
also in youth-focused gardens.

2. Reduction of both calorie-dense, nutrient-poor foods accessibility
and consumption.

3. Awareness about healthy eating’s importance can be increased to

fats in the body. Besides drinking excess fluid as well has similar outcome that is increased body weight.
