Akala ng marami, dahil "natural" ang honey, pwede na itong unli! Baka magulat ka sa katotohanan. 🤯
Pareho lang silang nagbibigay ng calories at binubuo ng glucose at fructose. Yes, may small amounts of antioxidants and vitamins ang honey, pero sa normal serving size, hindi nito binabago ang fact na sugar pa rin ang honey.

The golden rule? Natural doesn’t mean unlimited. Portion still matters! ⚖️

Honored to be quoted alongside other health professionals in PhilSTAR L!fe's latest piece on the viral kimchi and egg diet trend! 🥬🍳

While the kimchi and egg combination offers a highly satiating, gut-friendly meal, relying on any single combination isn't a silver bullet.

Sustainable weight loss always comes down to balanced macronutrients and long-term habits.

More social media users have jumped on the kimchi and egg trend, sharing their own experiences online. As it continues to gain traction, one question remains: Does it really work for weight loss?

Thank you for this Mam Grace Banal, RND

May nagtanong (genuine question):
❓️Physicians ba ang nagpe-prescribe ng diet for patients based on their medical diagnosis?

Thank you for that wonderful question 👸

⚠️ MAGKAIBA PO ANG MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS AT NUTRITION DIAGNOSIS.

Example:
👉Medical diagnosis is Diabetes Type 2, hypertension - doctor/physician lang gumagawa nyan.
👉Nutrition diagnosis can be - Elevated fasting blood sugar, BP and abnormal lipid profile (NC2.2) related to inconsistent carbohydrate intake, high intake of saturated fat, and nutrition-related knowledge deficit as evidenced by dietary assessment showing x grams of carbohydrate per day and increased consumption of red meat and low intake of fiber. DIETITIAN lang po makakagawa nyan.

Nutrition diagnosis can ONLY be done after conducting NUTRITION ASSESSMENT:
✅️ anthropometric
✅️ biochemical
✅️ clinical
✅️ dietary ASSESSMENT

After NUTRITION ASSESSMENT and DIAGNOSIS, saka palang makakaprovide ng NUTRITION INTERVENTION, MONITORING AND EVALUATION.

This is called NUTRITION CARE PROCESS.

👸✅️⚠️ I therefore conclude:

DIET PRESCRIPTION SHOULD ONLY BE DONE BASED ON THE NUTRITION DIAGNOSIS.

A philosopher once said:

PRESCRIPTION - INTERVENTION - WITHOUT ASSESSMENT - is MALPRACTICE.

✅️ INTERPROFESSIONAL COLLABORATION IS THE KEY:
Nurses - screening, anthrop measurement
Medtechs - lab tests
Physicians - physical exam, medical diagnosis, medical intervention, referring nutritionally at-risk patients to MNT, initial diet recommendations
Dietitians - dietary assessment, NFPE, nutrition diagnosis, nutrition intervention - MNT upon referral of MD
Alltogether now: Monitoring and Evaluation, evidence-based practice, patient education

NAGUUSAP YAN SILA, HINDI NAG-AAGAWAN NG KORONA/LINYA.

At the end of the day, ANG PASYENTE ANG BIDA.

Dami nya pa tanong, next time ko na sagutin dami ko trabaho mga accla.

Paano Kumain ng Avocado Nang Ligtas Kahit May Kidney Disease!

Sinabihan ka rin ba na BAWAL NA BAWAL ang Avocado dahil may Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) ka? 🥑❌

Plot twist: Hindi mo kailangang tuluyang itapon ang paborito mong pagkain!

Totoo na mataas sa potassium ang avocado (nasa ~600-700mg per medium fruit), at kung ang daily allowance mo ay 2000–3000mg, madaling sabihin na "huwag na lang."

PERO ang totoong kidney care ay HINDI tungkol sa total elimination—it's about BALANCE & PORTION CONTROL! ⚖️

Sa halip na ipagbawal, pwede mong bawasan ang portion size (halimbawa: 1/4 or 1/8 lang) para ma-enjoy pa rin ang lasa at health benefits nang hindi lumalagpas sa potassium limit!

Sa tamang computation at data, posible ang dietary flexibility nang hindi naitataya ang kalusugan mo.

Meal planning for diabetes is both an art and a science. 🥬

The science lies in the calculated proportions, pairing complex carbohydrates like brown and red rice with high-fiber greens, lean protein, and portion-controlled fruit to keep blood sugar stable. 🌾

The art lies in making sure every meal feels comforting, familiar, and delicious. Managing diabetes doesn’t mean sacrificing flavor, it’s about thoughtful balance, meal after meal. 🍽️

Totoo bang bawal ang avocado dahil mataas daw sa cholesterol?

Huwag magpadala sa maling hakahaka sa internet!

Bilang isang Registered Dietitian, ipaliliwanag ko kung ano ba talaga ang ginagawa ng avocado sa iyong puso.

Plant-Based at Zero Cholesterol: Ang cholesterol ay makukuha lamang sa mga animal products. Ang avocado ay isang halamang plant-based na walang cholesterol.

Healthy Fats: Mayroon itong mataas na level ng mono-unsaturated fats na kailangan ng katawan para ma-absorb ang mga vitamins at maprotektahan ang cardiovascular system.

Pinapababa ang Bad Cholesterol: Aktibo itong tumutulong na pababain ang bad cholesterol habang pinapataas naman ang good cholesterol, kaya paborito itong ilagay ng mga Dietitian sa diet plan.

Huwag magpaloko sa maling info online!
