    LESSON 4
    Filipino Food Pyramid and Nutritional
    Guidelines

    What is Filipino Food Pyramid


    - Philippines uses the daily nutritional guide
    pyramid and has developed pyramids for
    different population groups
    - The pyramid is divided into levels of
    recommended consumption

    FOOD GUIDE
    - Philippines uses the daily nutritional guide
    pyramid and has developed pyramids for
    different population groups. The pyramid is
    divided into levels of recommended
    consumption. Messages about exercise and
    personal and environmental hygiene serve
    as support messages for the pyramid
    - The healthy food plate for Filipino adults
    (Pinggang Pinoy) completes the messages
    of the pyramid by showing the adequate
    distribution of nutritious foods in a meal.

    Messages:
    - Eat a variety of foods every day to get the
    nutrients needed by the body.
    - Breastfeed infants exclusively from birth up to
    6 months, then give appropriate
    complementary foods while continuing
    breastfeeding for 2 years and beyond for
    optimum growth and development.
    - Eat more vegetables and fruits every day to
    get the essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber
    for the regulation of body processes.
    - Consume fish, lean meat, poultry, eggs, dried
    beans, or nuts daily for the growth and repair
    of body tissues.
    - Consume milk, milk products, and other
    calcium-rich foods, such as small fish and
    shellfish, every day for healthy bones and
    teeth.
    - Consume safe foods and water to prevent
    diarrhea and other food and water-borne
    disease.
    - Use iodized salt to prevent iodine deficiency
    disorders
    - Limit intake of salty, fried, fatty, and
    sugar-rich foods to prevent cardiovascular
    diseases
    - Attain normal body weight through proper
    diet and moderate physical activity to
    maintain good health and help prevent
    obesity.
    - Be physically active, make healthy food
    choices, manage stress, avoid alcoholic
    beverages, and do not smoke to help prevent
    lifestyle-related non-communicable diseases.
    USE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN
    NUTRITION AND DIETETICS
    - Information technology advancement has
    changed our major modes of
    communications. Use of emails, digital
    pagers, palm pilots, cellular phones, and
    teleconferencing is gradually replacing
    traditional telecommunications. The growth
    of the information superhighway has
    revolutionized the healthcare delivery
    system for both the healthcare providers
    and healthcare receivers(Bargh 2002；
    McMahon et al. 2003).

    - Computer technology has been utilized in


    the dietetics industry in performing many
    different functions, including nutrition
    screening, nutrition assessments, recipe
    analysis, menu planning, personalizing
    client educational materials

    - These applications greatly reduced the


    amount of time dietitians spend on
    calculations, documentation and recording.
    Microcomputers are widely available with
    an increasing number of software programs
    and the use of specialized software will
    become more popular and important among
    clinical dietitians.
    - Computer technology use has become
    routine for optimal performance in the
    clinical dietetics settings. Increased
    computer use has occurred over time.
    Clinical dietitians can master most of the
    productivity software in general. Use of
    specialized software is, however, a matter
    of hospital/facility policy, objectives, and
    goals.
    - Promotion of the use of specialized
    software in clinical settings may need to be
    targeted to the management team in
    hospitals/facilities. Nutrition analysis and
    nutrition assessment are two specialized
    software mostly used by clinical dietitians.
