                The whole nation celebrates the month of July as Nutrition Month to create greater awareness on the importance of nutrition among Filipinos pursuant to Section 7 of the Presidential Decree 491 (1974) or the Nutrition Act of the Philippines). The National Nutrition Council leads and coordinates the nationwide campaign. Each year, a theme is chosen to highlight an important concern on nutrition.

            This year, the problem of overweight and obesity (both refer to over nutrition) is highlighted because of their increasing prevalence not only in the country but the world. Overweight and obesity increase the risk to cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, various forms of cancer and musculoskeletal disorders like arthritis.
