RECAP
‘Go’ foods fulfill the nutrient function of providing the body with energy.
Looking at the pyramid (see Figure 1), these foods include rice, rice products, corn,
root crops, bread, and noodles. Complex carbohydrates are preferred. It also
recommends six to eight serving of these. One serving size of rice is equivalent to
1/2 or the size of a tennis balls; one cup of cereal is equivalent to four golf balls;
and one serving of bread is equivalent to two slices.
Six to eight teaspoon oils, preferably plant-based, are recommended per day.
One teaspoon is the size of the tip of your thumb. Three teaspoons equal one
tablespoon.
‘Grow’ foods are those that build, maintain and repair our body tissues.
They include milk and milk products (e.g. cheese, yogurt), fish, shellfish, meat, and
poultry, beans and nuts. These protein foods are also rich in vitamins and
minerals. For instance, salmon is high in calcium, magnesium, Vitamins D and E,
and omega-3 fatty acids. The recommended daily servings are one glass of milk,
one piece of egg and two and 1/2 of your fish, meat and poultry, beans and nuts.
One serving is equivalent to the size of your palm (about three ounces) or a deck of
cards for meat; a handful of beans and nuts.
‘Glow’ foods regulate our metabolism and our basically vitamin - and
mineral-rich foods. They enhance the glow of our skin and hair. Glow foods such as
spinach, broccoli, oranges, and plums are high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Soluble fiber such as prebiotics helps nourish the friendly bacteria (probiotics) in
the intestines to encourage healthy digestion. Three servings each of vegetables and
fruits are recommended. One serving of vegetables/fruit is about the size of your
fist of a baseball.
Nutritional Guidelines
The Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the Department of Science and
Technology (NFI-DOST) issued the nutritional guidelines for Filipinos in 2012 in an
effort to promote the appropriate diet and related health practices. These guidelines
encourage individuals to consume an adequate and well-balanced diet along with
healthy life-style.
The 2012 NGF now includes the basis and justification for each of the ten
(10) nutritional and health messages:
1. Eat a variety of foods everyday to get the nutrients needed by the body.
2. Breastfeed infants exclusively from birth up to six months and then give
appropriate complementary foods while continuing breastfeeding for two years
and beyond for optimum growth and development.
3. Eat more vegetables and fruits to get the essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber
for regulation of body processes.
4. Consume fish, lean meat, poultry, egg, dried beans or nuts daily for growth and
repair of body tissues.
5. Consume milk, milk products, and other calcium-rich food such as small fish
and shellfish, everyday for healthy bones and teeth.
6. Consume safe foods and water to prevent diarrhea and other food-and water-
borne diseases.
7. Use iodized salt to prevent Iodine Deficiency Disorders
Goiter and iodine deficiency disorders are rampant in many areas of the
Philippines, causing physical and mental retardation in children. The regular
use of iodized salt in the table and in cooking in addition to iodine-rich foods,
will greatly help in eradicating this preventable disease.
8. Limit intake of salty, fried, fatty, and sugar-rich foods to prevent cardiovascular
diseases.
9. Attain normal body weight through proper diet and moderate physical activity to
maintain good health and help prevent obesity.
10. Be physically active, make healthy food choices, manage stress, avoid alcoholic
beverage, and do not smoke to help prevent lifestyle-related non-communicable
disease.
The revisions were made based on the results of the 2008 National Nutrition
Survey (NNS) conducted by FNRI-DOST.
There is no single food that contains all the nutrients that our body needs so
eating a variety of food ensures that daily nutritional needs are met.
Pinggang Pinoy (see Figure 2) is a new, easy to understand food guide that
uses a familiar food plate model to convey the right food group proportions on a
per-meal basis, to meet the body’s energy and nutrient needs of Filipino adults.
Pinggang Pinoy serves as visual tool to help Filipinos adopt healthy eating habits at
meal times by delivering effective dietary and healthy lifestyle.
The “Pinggang Pinoy” can be used side by side with the existing DNG
Pyramid for Filipinos but it will not replace it. According to FNRI, Pinggang Pinoy is
a quick and easy guide on how much to eat per mealtime, while the DNG Pyramid
shows at a glance the whole day food intake recommendation.
Both the “Pinggang Pinoy” and the DNG Pyramid for Filipinos are based on
the latest science about how our food, drink, and activity choices affect our health.
