The University of the Philippines Manila and the National Nutrition Council are working on a new handbook to address the issue of malnutrition in the country.Among the contents of the "Barangay Nutrition Scholar Handbook on Community Nutrition Services " are the basic competencies required under the Community Nutrition Services National Certificate II of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority certification.
Undernutrition usually results from poor diet, but processed foods and those containing refined sugar are generally blamed for obesity, which in turn, causes heart disease and diabetes, UP Manila said in a statement on Saturday.“The goal of the government is to reduce the burden of malnutrition among the Filipinos because investment in nutrition can lead to economic development,” Dr. Kim Leonard Dela Luna, Associate Professor of the Department of Nutrition of UP Manila, said.
