Awareness to the Nutrition Month Theme 2014
Nutrition month is one of the most
important events, that is why we are celebrating it today for the month of
July. This includes the importance of making informed food choices as well as
developing and maintaining good eating habits. The one chosen theme for this
year is, “Kalamidad Paghandaan: Gutom at Malnutrisyon Agapan”. Some students
ask about what this theme all about. They did not notice the importance on
understanding it while they were celebrating it.
The theme is referred to us about
what happened to Tacloban City, Philippines as they were experienced a great
state of calamity last November 2013 after being severely hit by super typhoon
named “Yolanda”. The government did not want to happen this again because many
people died. So they made a campaign and through this theme, it will become
useful and easy for them.
The theme promotes interventions to
address nutritional needs in emergencies and disasters. This includes on how
the people will prepare, recover, and response the calamity of the country. It
will also increase the awareness among the families and every individual to
improve their strategies to prevent malnutrition and worsening of nutritional
status in times of emergencies and disasters. It aims to uplift a person to be
ready and become healthy at all times especially on calamities.
It is believed that giving importance
to nutrition awareness is a great key to a better preparedness and efficiently
responds to nutrition in emergencies.
