The National Nutrition Council is now accepting entries for the 2017 Nutrition Month Theme Writing and Logo Design Contest. The focus for the 2017 Nutrition Month is on “Healthy Diet”.
What is a Healthy Diet?
A healthy diet emphasizes vegetables, fruits, whole grains, root crops and fat-free or low-fat milk, lean meats, poultry, fish, egg, beans and nuts, and is low in saturated fats, trans-fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium) and added sugars. On the other hand, an unhealthy diet is composed of foods that are energy-dense and nutrient-poor, high in saturated fat, trans-fats, refined carbohydrates, and salt, and low in consumption of vegetables and fruits and low in fiber. - NNC
The theme focus aims to promote consumption of healthier foods and discourage consumption of unhealthy diets.
The Contest will run from October 1 to November 15, 2016. Deadline of submission of entries is at 12:00 o’clock midnight of 15 November 2016. A cash prize of Php10, 000.00 for each winner of the logo and theme contest shall be awarded to the winner.
