VP/HEALTH AskND: Nutrition for a Healthy Filipino Nation There is a profound truth to the expression ‘You are what you eat.’ It simply tells us that what we put inside our body becomes a part of both our inner and outer well-being. Nutrition is the cornerstone of good health; it influences the proper function of our body, prevention of health issues, and natural healing. Often the course of our personal nutrition follows the most popular trend or what we researched online. But how do we know if we are in the ‘right nutrition’ track? How sure are we that we are eating right for our body’s need? Is the nutrition or diet trend that we are following actually working? The overwhelming amount of information available points us to different directions and the answer to these questions is ‘maybe not’ because our nutritional need is as unique as each of us is. It’s not one –size fits all. Our nutrition should be personalized based on our body make-up, lifestyle, and environment. At the same time, it should be guided by experts and professionals, particularly nutritionists and dietitians, who will see us through our nutrition journey towards good health. Global Medical Technologies (GMT), who has been at the forefront of bringing medical innovations in the country, takes its advocacy of creating a healthy nation through nutrition a step further via AskND.ph. GMT together with its partners, which include Lifescience Center for Health and Wellness, created an online community that brings together experts and professionals in health and nutrition to give Filipinos access to correct, valuable, and up to date information and advice on nutrition and dietetics, and provide the most apt and precise solutions to health and nutrition concerns. “AskND.ph is positioned to help healthcare professionals and individuals in addressing nutrition issues. For individuals, AskND.ph allows them to consult and work with nutritionists and dietitians in creating their personalized nutrition program. For professionals, AskND.ph allows them to access information, studies, partners and tools to better equip them in guiding their patients,” said Jason Ramos, Country Director of GMT. “Through AskND.ph we hope to bridge nutrition gaps by connecting stakeholders, such as healthcare professionals, food suppliers and producers, and allow them to work together in helping patients achieve optimum health. As a result, those who visit or connect with AskND.ph is able to find answers to his or her nutrition queries, start his or her own nutrition program guided by experts and be able to fulfill the program because he or she knows where to get the correct food items,” Ramos adds. Scientific and Collaborative Approach to Nutrition The journey to a well-guided nutrition takes into consideration the individual’s total well-being, it goes so much more than just merely writing up a generic diet plan or counting calories. AskND.ph utilizes advance medical tools and technology to take a deeper look at your nutritional health condition and needs, holistically and at a cellular level, before a precise, personalized nutrition program is developed. According to Dr. OyieBalburias, Health Optimization and Functional Medicine practitioner at LifeScience Center for Health and Wellness, of the six (6) determinants of health, Functional Nutrition puts emphasis on nutrition. Nutrition serves as the entry point of optimal health because the right functioning of our body largely depend on what we eat. With right nutrition, our body can operate at its optimum, and prevent diet and lifestyle related health issues. Moreover, right nutrition can lead the prevention, and even reversal, of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular, diabetes, fatigue, stress, acne, autoimmune disease, among others. The only route to getting the right nutrition is through a careful assessment of an individual’s health history and lifestyle, and getting into an advance personal nutrition program. Dr. Balburias also stressed the importance of working with nutritionists and dietitians in your health journey. Their experience in integrating science and nutrition is vital in helping you achieve your nutritional health goal. Different health goals require different nutritional requirements. Finding the recommended high-quality food item is a challenge, which is addressed through AskND.ph’s partnership with producers and suppliers of quality-healthy food items, such as organic produce, dairy-free, gluten-free and vegetarian products, and other healthy food alternatives. AskND.ph is also working with professional chefs, who will share healthy recipes and demonstrate how to prepare healthy meals; providers of healthy food delivery, and health stores. Building Partnerships Up to date knowledge and advanced medical tools available at AskND.ph is attained through the partnership with some of world-renowned science and medical facilities, which include the Cambridge Nutritional Sciences in the United Kingdom, Institute for Functional Medicine in Cleveland, USA, and Genosense in Austria. At the launch of AskND.ph, Dr. Nigel Abraham, Nutrition and Allergy expert and scientist/laboratory director at Cambridge Nutritional Sciences, shared the recent study findings on “Human gut microbiome.” The recent study findings further establish the influence of the food we eat in the population and metabolic activity in our microflora. It also presents a deeper understanding of microbiomes in our body, how it influence health and diseases, and how it can be harnessed to understand and address diseases. The study reinforces the importance of a healthy gut. The gut is essentially connected to everything that happens in our body, hence it is central to our entire well-being. The gut determines what nutrients are absorbed and what toxins, allergens and microbes are kept out. Imbalance in our gut triggers most of the health issues we deal with. The first step to address present health issues and prevent potential ones is to keep our gut healthy. Our gut’s health is dependent on what we eat, whether the gut is able process those food item and absorb all the nutrients or those food items are causing reactions in the body, disrupts the balance of the gut’s ecosystem thereby causing mal-absorption of nutrients and triggering health issues. “Our knowledge and thorough understanding of the relationship between nutrition, gut health and the body’s total well-being, and access to world-class medical tools, such as the Food Intolerance Test from Cambridge Nutritional Sciences in UK, equips our experts in developing precise, personalized nutrition program for their patients,” said Ramos. “Our partnership and affiliation with international institutions pave the way for Filipino health and nutrition experts and professional to take their roles a step further. While, patients are assured that they receive up-to-date and validated health information,” said Ramos. AskND.ph’s holistic and collaborative approach to health and nutrition delivers to Filipinos well-guided and effective personalized nutrition programs, supported by accurate information and up-to-date medical tools. No more hit and miss, no more guessing. “For GMT and our partners, AskND.ph takes us closer to realizing our goal to largely contribute in building a healthy Filipino nation,” concludes Ramos.
