The Hellen Keller Intl conducted a one-day Barangay Nutrition Action Plan (BNAP) Updating Workshop for the barangays covered under the Barangay First 1,000 Days (BF1KD) Phase 3 Project. The workshop aimed to strengthen the capacity of barangay officials and nutrition workers in planning, implementing, and monitoring nutrition-related programs and interventions for pregnant women, lactating mothers, and children during the first 1,000 days of life.

Through the workshop, participating barangays were guided in updating and enhancing their Barangay Nutrition Action Plans to ensure alignment with national and local nutrition priorities, particularly First 1,000 Days interventions, maternal nutrition, infant and young child feeding, growth monitoring, and other nutrition-sensitive programs. The BNAP serves as a vital tool in addressing malnutrition at the community level and ensuring that nutrition services effectively reach vulnerable populations.

Kapag ang isang bata ay nagka-stunting, hindi lang ang kanyang pisikal na paglaki ang naaapektuhan—kasama rito ang kanyang utak, kalusugan, at maging ang kanyang buong kinabukasan.

Ito ang ilang mga seryosong epekto ng stunting na dapat nating malaman at agapan:

➡️ Mas madaling magkasakit: Kahit pa pilit na humabol ang kanilang paglaki pagkatapos ng edad na 2, mas marupok pa rin ang kanilang pangangatawan.

➡️ Mas mataas ang risk sa malulubhang sakit: Mas malaki ang tsansa nilang magkaroon ng high-blood, diabetes, at obesity pagtanda dahil sa metabolic syndrome.

➡️ Apektado ang performance sa eskwela: Mas mahina ang kanilang performance sa klase, mas mataas ang rate ng pag-uulit ng baitang (grade repetition), at mas malaki ang posibilidad na mag-drop out sila bago pa man matapos ang elementarya.

➡️ Banta sa mental health at kapayapaan: Mas mataas ang tsansa ng masamang mental health outcomes at pakikisangkot sa krimen.

➡️ Mababang kita sa hinaharap: Dahil naapektuhan ang kanilang cognitive development, mas mababa rin ang magiging suweldo nila pagdating ng araw na sila ay nagtatrabaho na.

Ang nutrisyon sa first 1,000 days ng bata ay pundasyon ng kanilang buong buhay. Hindi lang ito laban ng isang pamilya—laban ito ng buong bansa para sa mas magandang kinabukasan ng ating kabataan.

Matagumpay na isinagawa ang BF1KD Session 1: Ang Barangay First 1000 Days sa Barangay Mabini na dinaluhan ng mga buntis, nagpapasusong ina, at mga magulang ng mga batang may edad 0–23 buwan.

Layunin ng sesyon na maipakilala ang Barangay First 1000 Days (BF1KD) Program at mapalawak ang kaalaman ng mga kalahok tungkol sa kahalagahan ng unang 1,000 araw ng buhay ng isang bata bilang pundasyon ng kanyang kalusugan, paglaki, at pag-unlad.

Ang aktibidad ay pinangunahan ni BNS Kristine Grace Angangan at BHW Marites Angangan, kasama rin sa sesyon and resident midwife na si Jamaika Jane Gamayon at Nica Saldo, Nurse Deployed sa barangay.

Tinalakay sa sesyon ang konsepto ng First 1000 Days, ang kahalagahan ng wastong nutrisyon mula sa pagbubuntis hanggang sa ikalawang kaarawan ng bata, at ang mahahalagang serbisyong pangkalusugan at pangnutrisyon na maaaring makuha ng mga benepisyaryo sa barangay.

Nagtapos ang aktibidad sa paghikayat sa mga kalahok na patuloy na makilahok sa mga susunod na BF1KD sessions upang madagdagan pa ang kanilang kaalaman at maging katuwang sa pagpapaunlad ng kalusugan at nutrisyon ng kanilang pamilya at komunidad.

This Hypertension Awareness Month, the National Nutrition Council (NNC) encourages the public to know their numbers and adopt healthier eating and lifestyle habits to help maintain normal blood pressure and support overall heart health.

High blood pressure often has no symptoms, but it can lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure if left unmanaged.

Following the Pinggang Pinoy food guide can help individuals achieve balanced meals by consuming Go, Grow, and Glow foods in appropriate portions. Reducing salt intake, eating more fruits and vegetables, drinking enough water, staying physically active, managing stress, and getting enough sleep are likewise important in promoting a healthier lifestyle.

The public is also advised to limit the consumption of high-sodium foods such as instant noodles, chips, canned goods, processed meats, and salty sauces, as excessive sodium intake may contribute to elevated blood pressure.

Regular blood pressure monitoring and making informed nutrition choices are important steps toward preventing hypertension and its complications.

By making healthy food and lifestyle choices every day, we can all contribute to building healthier hearts and healthier communities.
