Daily Nutrition Guide for Filipino Children
Published on October 31st, 2009.
Eventhough my children are half-Filipino and half-American, I always make sure that they meet the daily nutrition that their body needs. And I use the Nutrition Guide for Filipino Children as a guide or bases for their daily intakes. These are the essential vitamins and minerals that children, ideally, should take into their bodies on a daily basis: 6-8 tablespoons of fats and oils; 5-6 tablespoons of sugar and sweets; 2-2.35 servings of fish, shellfish, meat, poultry, dried beans and nuts; half of a whole egg; 1 glass of milk and milk products; 3/4-1 cup of vegetable serving; 2 medium servings of fruits; 4-6 servings of rice, rice products, corn, rootcrops, bread, noodles; and lastly, 6-8 glasses of water and beverages. And for a more healthy kid, doing sports and other physical activities should be done instead of watching TV or playing computer games.
