The document contains questions and answers related to nutrition and malnutrition in the Philippines. Some key points covered include:
- The National Nutrition Council (NNC) is the country's highest policy-making body on nutrition, created in 1974.
- Presidential Decree No. 1569 of 1979 mandated the deployment of at least one Barangay Nutrition Scholar (BNS) in every barangay.
- Stunting is a type of chronic malnutrition characterized by impaired growth and development.
- Children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) have a 9-12 times higher risk of death than well-nourished children.
- The four pillars of food security are availability, accessibility, utilization
Global food security aims to ensure everyone has access to nutritious food every day. However, poverty and population growth pose challenges. Over 3 billion people live on less than $2.50 a day and nearly 1.5 billion live on less than $1.25, while 20,000 people starve daily. The global population is expected to grow from 7 billion in 2010 to over 11 billion by 2100. Meeting the predicted 50% increase in food demand by 2030 and 70% by 2050 requires making food accessible to all. Foodborne illnesses also negatively impact public health and economies. Addressing these issues can help governments invest in infrastructure to improve lives.

Most undernourished people live in Africa, Asia, and South America, with some countries having malnutrition rates as high as 20% of the population. Being undernourished means consuming less than 2350 calories per day. There is a positive correlation between GDP per person and daily calorie intake - countries with higher GDPs are able to import food during shortages and citizens can better afford food. Poverty is closely linked to lack of food because without income, food cannot be purchased during times of need. In poor countries with difficult farming conditions due to climate or conflicts, people struggle with hunger and finding income. Obesity is primarily an issue in wealthier countries and regions. While currently less of a global problem than
The document discusses the need to reform the United States' international food aid program, Food for Peace, to use funds more efficiently and help more hungry people. It notes that while food aid has helped billions of people, the programs could better address nutritional needs, especially of women and children. Reforms like local and regional procurement of food aid and increased flexibility in resource use could save money, reach more people faster with more nutritious foods, and promote agricultural development in recipient countries.
Food and Nutrition Security in Small Island Developing StatesFAO
The document summarizes food and nutrition security challenges in small island developing states (SIDS) and FAO's response programs. It finds that many SIDS have high levels of undernourishment, poverty, and non-communicable diseases associated with diets. Natural disasters also negatively impact their economies and food security. FAO is working with SIDS on issues of food/nutrition strategies, poverty reduction, agriculture revitalization, climate change adaptation, and disaster risk management. Its goal is to support national efforts and strengthen partnerships to improve food security in SIDS.

This document discusses Unilever's commitment to nutrition and reducing malnutrition globally through fortification efforts. It notes that 2 billion people are deficient in micronutrients, and 18 million lives are impaired due to deficiencies. Unilever's challenge is to provide affordable fortified solutions to developing and emerging markets. The document outlines Unilever's efforts to fortify foods like soups in Vietnam with vitamins and educate consumers on nutrition. It stresses the importance of collaboration between organizations to effectively communicate about fortification and change consumer behavior.
- Poverty means lacking basic living standards and conditions like adequate food, shelter, education and healthcare. Over 1 billion people live on less than $1.25 a day.
- In 2015, world leaders agreed to 17 Sustainable Development Goals to improve prosperity and sustainability by 2030 through initiatives targeting issues like poverty, hunger, health, education, water and sanitation.
- Foreign aid involves the transfer of resources like money, food, healthcare and education from wealthier to poorer nations. Australia provides about $4 billion annually in foreign aid, with over 70% going to countries in the Asia-Pacific region focused on issues like health, education, economic development and governance.
Addressing food and nutrition security in developing countries depends on livelihood security, vulnerability, and coping strategies. Food security exists when all people have reliable access to sufficient nutritious food. Key elements of food security assessments include livelihoods, vulnerability to risks and shocks, and coping strategies. The three pillars of food security are availability of food, access to food, and utilization of food. Malnutrition is a global problem impacting health, growth, and development. An integrated approach blending traditional and modern agricultural and nutrition practices can help support food and nutrition security.
Taps and Toilets: How Greater Access Can Radically Improve Africa’s FutureEric Firnhaber
The International Futures modeling system is used to explore the impact of sanitation and clean water on development in Africa through improvements in access to them. The paper explores a Base Case and alternate scenarios that reflect, respectively, enhanced rates of access and stagnating rates of access. Impacts on development are measured through infant mortality, communicable diseases, GDP, and state fragility. The analysis includes a preliminary cost-benefit analysis.

Please read the speaking notes on the last two slides of this presentation to be able to follow along a bit better. Discussed are Pros and Cons of taking vitamin D has a supplement. It also recommends taking vitamin D3 for its bioavailability, or its ease of use by the body, instead of vitamin D2. I tried to make this age and user friendly to cater to a wide audience from ages 6 to 86. I feel most people would get or understand the graphics, bits of injected humor, and excellent informative summaries on vitamin D. Vitamin D is an up and coming superstar in combating many issues from bone health issues, cancer, and heart issues. Many people in more Northern or cloudy climates, i.e. grey cloudy skies all day, need to supplement with vitamin D for optimal health. RDA’s for Vitamin D are about 600 iu’s for most and 800 iu’s for those 70 and up. The last 2 slides contain my speaking notes for each slide so refer to them often if you want to understand the slides better. Enjoy the show and thanks for viewing!
Shaping Sustainable Food Systems for Healthy Diets and Improved Nutrition: Im...ExternalEvents
This document discusses the need to transform food systems globally in order to address malnutrition. It notes that malnutrition is rising worldwide and affecting over 30% of people. If no changes are made, malnutrition could affect 50% of the global population by 2035. While the ICN2 framework provides a starting point, bolder actions are needed to fully implement evidence-based nutrition interventions, redirect agricultural subsidies toward nutritious foods, refocus agriculture research, and incentivize industry and consumers toward healthier options. Metrics and data on global diet quality also need improvement to guide policies and ensure accountability.
The document discusses food security challenges facing the world by 2050. Key points include:
- Global food production must increase 70% by 2050 to feed a rising population expected to reach 9.1 billion.
- Hunger currently affects over 821 million people worldwide and billions lack reliable access to nutritious food.
- Factors exacerbating food insecurity include population growth, changing diets, climate change, water scarcity, soil erosion, and plateauing crop yields.
- Solutions proposed are closing yield gaps, raising water productivity, balancing calorie and nutrient needs, reducing food waste, and supporting young farmers. UN agencies are working on programs like Zero Hunger to end hunger by 2030.
The document discusses food shortage, providing examples from Venezuela and India. It defines food shortage as when food supplies do not meet the nutritional needs of a population. Venezuela experiences shortages and high inflation, making it difficult for mothers to feed their children. India faces a crisis due to rapid population growth, which is projected to exceed food production. The document also describes a non-profit food bank organization that bridges food donors and those in need, aims to reduce waste, and provide affordable food access.
The document discusses the Healthy Food Financing Initiative (HFFI), a national campaign started by three organizations to improve access to healthy foods in underserved communities. It notes President Obama's 2012 budget proposal allocated $330 million to HFFI, to be administered through the USDA, HHS, and Treasury. The budget would provide $35 million to USDA, $20 million to HHS, and $25 million plus $250 million in tax credits to Treasury to fund the initiative and increase healthy food access nationwide.
The Role of Fish in The World Bank’s Development Agenda Investing in Nutritio...WorldFish
The document discusses the World Bank's increasing investment in fisheries and aquaculture as part of its development agenda, recognizing the important role that fish play in nutrition. It notes that fish consumption and production is expected to rise globally to meet demand, especially in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Small indigenous fish species in these regions are among the most micronutrient-rich foods and consuming them, particularly for women during the first 1,000 days of life and for young children, can significantly improve health outcomes and reduce stunting. The World Bank is thus looking to invest further in nutrition-sensitive fish agri-food systems and value chains as a means to simultaneously improve human health and lifetime wealth.
Perfect Food: The Silicon Valley Food MovementTrung Ho
What would the food system look like if we started over?
That's the question that investors, entrepreneurs, and food scientists in Silicon Valley are asking as they've been working towards creating a more sustainable food system as the global population inches closer to 9.6 billion by 2050. Mayonnaise without eggs? Real-tasting meat made from plants? Living a healthy life on a nutritious drink alone? Food from the Silicon Valley Food Movement may sound crazy, but they're becoming more and more popular as large groups of investors, chefs, environmental and animal activists, consumers, and just about all walks of life are gravitating towards the idea that food can and should be healthy, tasty, and help make a positive difference in the world's future.
This report looks at the different food startups and its corresponding trends/driving factors, as well as its implications for big food brands. This report also takes a look at related food trends and its manifestations that are occurring outside of Silicon Valley.
Food shortage occurs when food supplies do not provide enough energy and nutrients for a population. It is caused by insufficient food production or constraints on importation and storage. Food shortage impacts children, the elderly, and mothers the most through malnutrition and hunger-related deaths. International organizations like the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO) work to address food shortage through goals of eliminating hunger, reducing poverty, and sustainably managing natural resources. The FAO has taken actions like funding guidelines for land tenure, raising money for smallholder farmers, and declaring famines to help address food shortage issues.
The document discusses the Innovation@50+ initiative by AARP, which aims to spark entrepreneurial activity to meet the needs of the 50+ population. It notes key facts about the 50+ market such as its size of 100 million consumers and $7.1 trillion in annual economic activity. It outlines 9 areas of opportunity for innovation in health technologies for medication management, aging vitality, vital sign monitoring, care navigation, emergency response, fitness, diet/nutrition, social engagement and behavioral health. The initiative works with various stakeholders across industry, government, non-profits and investors to promote innovation through research, events and showcasing startups.

Stop designing for the messenger-bag-totting hipster, try addressing the 100 million strong demographic (the 50+) that generates annually over $7.1 trillion in economic activity in the US, and 260 Billion dollars in consumer packaged goods sales. Out-of-pocket consumer health spending is forecasted at $100B over the next 5 years, but poor design and aesthetics are limiting usability and consumer demand. How’s that for a challenge!
Learn Grow - A Rotary Project Which Helps the Hungry Help ThemselvesMary Wharton
The Learn/Grow Project teaches people in economically challenged countries how to best utilize their own local resources more effectively rather than rely on introduced farming methods and imported crops. Learn/Grow takes the best of both traditional local agriculture and combines it with the best of modern agricultural knowledge to help locals proudly create sensible home gardens that produce foods closely matched to the nutritional needs for themselves and their families and are easily sustainable.
Locally adapted plants with higher overall nutritional values can be chosen than many of the traditional western food plants can be chosen using the tool that Bruce has developed. The project emphasizes the need for people who are suffering from nutritional deficiencies to grow a wide variety of these locally adapted plants in their gardens in order to meet their needs more completely. For instance, it has been documented that many Solomon Island women have anemia, a condition that can often be cured by simply eating more leafy greens that contain iron. Using Food Plants International’s unique database, Learn/Grow takes the lead in helping determine which locally adapted food plants offer the greatest food values for people known to be suffering from nutritional deficiencies like anemia and teaches them how to grow them and prepare them so they may be safely eaten.

Mayonnaise without eggs? Real-tasting meat made from plants? Living a healthy life on a nutritious drink alone? Food from the Silicon Valley Food Movement may sound crazy, but they're becoming more and more popular as large groups of investors, chefs, environmental and animal activists, consumers, and just about all walks of life are gravitating towards the idea that food can and should be healthy, tasty, and help make a positive difference in the world's future.
This report looks at the different food startups and its corresponding trends/driving factors, as well as its implications for big food brands. This report also takes a look at related food trends and its manifestations that are occurring outside of Silicon Valley.
Food shortage occurs when food supplies do not provide enough energy and nutrients for a population. It is caused by insufficient food production or constraints on importation and storage. Food shortage impacts children, the elderly, and mothers the most through malnutrition and hunger-related deaths. International organizations like the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO) work to address food shortage through goals of eliminating hunger, reducing poverty, and sustainably managing natural resources. The FAO has taken actions like funding guidelines for land tenure, raising money for smallholder farmers, and declaring famines to help address food shortage issues.
The document discusses the Innovation@50+ initiative by AARP, which aims to spark entrepreneurial activity to meet the needs of the 50+ population. It notes key facts about the 50+ market such as its size of 100 million consumers and $7.1 trillion in annual economic activity. It outlines 9 areas of opportunity for innovation in health technologies for medication management, aging vitality, vital sign monitoring, care navigation, emergency response, fitness, diet/nutrition, social engagement and behavioral health. The initiative works with various stakeholders across industry, government, non-profits and investors to promote innovation through research, events and showcasing startups.
HXRefactored - Doesn't Your Mom Deserve BetterSanjay Khurana
Stop designing for the messenger-bag-totting hipster, try addressing the 100 million strong demographic (the 50+) that generates annually over $7.1 trillion in economic activity in the US, and 260 Billion dollars in consumer packaged goods sales. Out-of-pocket consumer health spending is forecasted at $100B over the next 5 years, but poor design and aesthetics are limiting usability and consumer demand. How’s that for a challenge!
Learn Grow - A Rotary Project Which Helps the Hungry Help ThemselvesMary Wharton
The Learn/Grow Project teaches people in economically challenged countries how to best utilize their own local resources more effectively rather than rely on introduced farming methods and imported crops. Learn/Grow takes the best of both traditional local agriculture and combines it with the best of modern agricultural knowledge to help locals proudly create sensible home gardens that produce foods closely matched to the nutritional needs for themselves and their families and are easily sustainable.
Locally adapted plants with higher overall nutritional values can be chosen than many of the traditional western food plants can be chosen using the tool that Bruce has developed. The project emphasizes the need for people who are suffering from nutritional deficiencies to grow a wide variety of these locally adapted plants in their gardens in order to meet their needs more completely. For instance, it has been documented that many Solomon Island women have anemia, a condition that can often be cured by simply eating more leafy greens that contain iron. Using Food Plants International’s unique database, Learn/Grow takes the lead in helping determine which locally adapted food plants offer the greatest food values for people known to be suffering from nutritional deficiencies like anemia and teaches them how to grow them and prepare them so they may be safely eaten.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

4. A. National Nutrition Council
The NNC, as mandated by law, is the country's highest policy-making and coordinating body on
nutrition. It was created through Presidential Decree No. 491 also known as Nutrition Act of the
Philippines in 1974
8. B. 1569
Presidential Decree No. 1569 of 1979 mandated the deployment of at least one (1) BNS in every
barangay in the country to monitor the nutritional status of children and other nutritionally at-
risk groups and link them with nutrition and nutrition-related service providers. PD 1569 also
mandated the NNC to administer the program in cooperation with local government units.
12. C. Stunting
Stunting is defined as impaired growth and development experienced due to poor nutrition. It is
a type of CHRONIC MALNUTRITION. Children who are stunted are too short for their age. It is
largely an irreversible outcome of inadequate nutrition and repeated bouts of infection during
the first 1000 days of a child’s life. Children who are stunted do less well at school and earn
lower wages as adults.
