CHAPTER I
Introduction
Good Foods helps promote good health and good health ensures greater chances
for success in life. As observed, people eating the right kinds and amount of food daily
are strong, alert, cheerful, and free of illnesses and can cope with the day activities. In
fact, when one is healthy, one is not only physically and mentally fit, but socially and
morally fit as well. Irritability, listlessness, laziness and lack of self-confidence can
attribute to poor nutrition. Good health should be the concern of everyone if the country
wants a healthy and productive citizenry. A person who is healthy, alert and free of
diseases is able to cope with the challenges in life.
All people of all countries in the world give concern to health because they cannot
accomplish to the optimum if they are in a state of complete physical, mental and social
being. The family should share the burden of promoting good health amongpeople
especially the children. Every member of the family, school and community must take
positive actions towards maintaining good health, always keeping in the mind that all
pursuits can only be successful/productive if all are healthy.
The Nutritional status of the Filipino child is a result of different underlying
courses at the household, community and country levels, which interact and ultimately
affect him/her as the individual. It has been recognized that malnutrition is closely to a
country’s level of economics development. There is sufficient evidence to show the
considerable human and economical waste is used by inadequate nutrition. It is like a
cycle that continually worsens without immediate and proper inventories.
