Herty B. Lopez

CABBAGE soup diet, low carb diet, liquid diet, low fat diet, ug fasting, mao kini ang pipila sa gitawag nga fad diet.

Tungod sa risgo niini nga pwedeng mahatag sa lawas, nianunsiyo na ang National Nutrition Council (NNC)- Central Visayas nga suportaran nila ang policy statement sa ilang ulohang buhatan diin supak kini sa fad diet.

Giaprobahan na sa Regional Nutrition Committee (RNC) sa NNC- Central Visayas ubos sa Department of Health- Central Visayas ang regional resolution batok niining fad diets.

Ubos sa RNC resolution 2019-02, gi-adopt sa RNC ang polisiya sa NNC kabahin sa fad diets ug ilaha kining pagahimuon usab sa Central Visayas.

“Fad diets are not recommended for weight loss as it may pose potential health risks and dangers. Instead, the NNC recommends the adherence to a holistic, sustainable, adequate and nutritionally-balanced diet, complemented by an active lifestyle, and lifelong behavioral modifications,” tipik sa policy statement sa NNC.

Base sa NNC nga kining fad diets makahatag kini og stress, sakit sa pipila ka parte sa lawas, wala’y focus sa aktibidad sa lawas ug psychological implications.

“It is also the position of the NNC that individual efforts to address overweight and obesity must be complemented with population-based interventions, particularly on the promotion of healthier food environments and food systems and public awareness through behavior-change communications, to prevent further increase in overweight and obesity prevalence in the country.”

Gipasar sa RNC- Central Visayas ang maong resolusyon niadtong Pebrero 26.

WHERE’S THE WATER? Water is sparse at the Jaclupan wellfield in Talisay City in this photo provided by the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) on Friday, April 26, 2024. Completed in 1998, MCWD’s Jaclupan facility, officially known as the Mananga Phase I Project, catches, impounds and pumps out around 30,000 cubic meters of water per day under normal circumstances. However, on Friday, MCWD spokesperson Minerva Gerodias said the facility’s daily production had plummeted to 8,000 cubic meters per day, or just about a quarter of its normal capacity, as Cebu grapples with the effects of the drought caused by the El Niño phenomenon, which is expected to persist until the end of May. The facility supplies water to consumers in Talisay City and Cebu City. /
