The Christmas season is a time for gift-giving, merry-making, family get-togethers, and – let’s face it – binging. Yes, we love our food, and when the holiday season comes, we love it even more often by going from party to party and dinner to dinner. We often pig out on everything we want to eat, yet we do not realize that it brings both short and long-term health problems.
Overindulgence in food is an inevitable part of this year's festive season, but an official of the Department of Health (DOH) has reminded the public to prepare and eat healthy food. Undersecretary and Public Health Service Team Officer-In-Charge Myrna Cabotaje said most Filipino families serve unhealthy food during the holidays, which could cause high blood pressure and diabetes.
