Finding Balance in Every Meal This Holiday Season

LAC Philippines promotes guilt-free, feel-good celebrations through mindful eating and targeted wellness.

The Philippines is known for having the longest Christmas season in the world. As early as the ber months, lights and decorations are set up, and holiday promos fill stores and screens, signaling the start of months-long celebrations centered around family, friends, and, more often, food. From lechon and bibingka to festive drinks, the season is filled with indulgence and togetherness. While these moments bring warmth and joy, the National Nutrition Council (NNC) continues to remind the public that excessive eating and drinking can take a toll on one’s health.

According to the NNC, mindful eating, moderation, and balanced meals guided by the Pinggang Pinoy model are essential for maintaining good nutrition during the holidays. Overindulgence, particularly in alcohol and rich food, can strain the liver, disrupt digestion, and contribute to unwanted weight gain or other health concerns.
