Filipino cuisine is one of our country's pride, with that in mind, choosing our national dish is one of
our nation's hot topic. Every Filipino dish have their own charm and distinctiveness. But when it
comes to choosing our national dish, it is very important to consider the healthiness of it. Tinola being
a healthy dish, should be the national dish of the Philippines.

One of the reasons why Tinola should be the national dish of the Philippines is because of the health
benefits it provides. According to the National Nutrition Council "A bowl (250g) of it provides 219
kcal, 7g carbohydrates, 35g protein and 6g fats. Papaya contains vitamin A, vitamin C and
antioxidants which help in building immunity while chili pepper leaves is a good source of calcium,
phosphorus, and iron." Many Filipinos especially the children, suffer from weak immunity mainly
caused by insufficiency of vitamins in their body. Good thing about Tinola is it is rich in vitamins and
other nutrients that can help in building a stronger immune system.

Another reason why Tinola should be the national dish of the Philippines is because this Chicken soup
is often served to sick people. Fresenius Kidney Care mentioned 'Native Chicken Tinola' in their
article "Kidney Friendly Recipes" it is also referred as a healthy and flavorful dish. It's good for
people with kidney problems. Tinola has less salt that's bad for our kidney. It uses ginger, garlic, and
green papaya, which are good for flavor without being too salty. Given that, Tinola isn't just tasty, it's
also good for people's health.

Yet another reason why Tinola should be the National dish of the Philippines is because it is abundant
in vegetables and contains less fat.SMARTPARENTING stated the ingredients of Tinola and their
benefits in their article "7 Benefits You Didn’t Know You Get When You Eat Tinola". According to
this article "Chicken is rich in protein – chicken meat is low in saturated fat, which is one of the
causes of heart diseases; Malunggay is a superfood (natural foods that contain high doses of vitamins
and minerals); Sayote has folate; Garlic and onions, these "starter kit" veggies have been known to
help reduce breast and colon cancers; Ginger soothes the throat and tummy. .Having lots of veggies
and less fat in Tinola is important because it makes it good for your health.Vegetables have nutrients
that help keep your body healthy and strong., and less fat means it's better for your heart. So, eating
Tinola is not only tasty but also helps you stay healthy and strong.

In contrast, Tinola isn't really a healthy dish. Giving a lot of health benefits Tinola has shown to be a
much more better candidate to recieve it's title of being the Philippines' national dish. Being more
healthier and tastier according to most resarch.
