Pursuant to the Presidential Decree No. 491, also known as the “Nutrition Act of the Philippines”, public and private elementary and high schools celebrate the Nutrition Month every July. It is a special health awareness campaign led by the National Nutrition Council (NNC) to promote awareness on health and wellness.

This year, STI College Muñoz-EDSA will hold their Nutrition Month Celebration on July 29, 2015 (Thursday). The one day event will focus on making the students aware of what being healthy and fit really means. It is not just about the size. It is also about being physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy. And what we eat and do matters.

Hence, this year’s nutrition month’s theme is “Timbang Iwasto, sa Tamang Nutrisyon at Ehersisyo!” The activities will comprise of Zumba Retro Contest, Nutrition Seminar, Poster-Making Contest, Food Display, Nutri-quiz Bee Cpntest, Himig-Lusog Nutri Song Contest, and Mr. and Ms. Healthy Body Competition. The said activities and competitions are open to all STIers, not only to HTM majors.

Together, let us support this day of nutrition so we could learn how to live longer and healthier lives!
