The internet says: “Sharmaine” 🍊

Nutrition says: Good source of Vitamin C, contains fiber, cholesterol-free, and fat-free.

Kumainment #3: Kumain ng gulay at prutas araw-araw.

Kaya tulad ni Sharmaine, gawing bahagi ng araw-araw na pagkain ang prutas at gulay para sa mas malusog na pangangatawan!

💚 Investing in the First 1000 Days! 👶✨

Yesterday, the Municipal Nutrition Office, led by Ms. Ma. Cherry Atun (MNAO Designate), successfully conducted a Mothers' Class at Barangay Genitligan, Baras.

The session focused on the critical First 1,000 Days of life—a golden window of opportunity for a child's growth and development. The team shared vital nutrition tips with our pregnant women, lactating mothers, and mothers with malnourished children.

As a practical takeaway, the mothers were also taught how to use MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) Tapes so they can easily monitor their children's nutritional status at home. Educational IEC materials were also distributed to further guide them on their family's health journey.

Thank you also, Mam Maricar Atun, DOH-NDP deployed assigned in Brgy. Genitligan for facilitating the successful activity and to all the supermoms attended ❤️
