00:00Aside from the preparations of the parents for Pasukan,
00:04how can their children ensure that the students' food is healthy and clean?
00:11First news, Katrina Son.
00:16For Zyren Tabirao,
00:18her son is seriously talking about the food for Pasukan.
00:21That's why she's already planning the food for Pasukan.
00:26It's important for us to cook healthy food for them
00:31instead of buying it from a convenience store.
00:36In this way, she can monitor her son's food
00:41and ensure that the food is healthy.
00:45Roy Pamplina usually eats frozen food.
00:49It's his grandson's favorite.
00:52Sometimes, we have biscuits.
00:54Sometimes, we have rice.
00:56I don't have rice.
00:58The school should give one-third of the recommended intake
01:03or REI of a child.
01:06According to the Food and Nutrition Research Institute or FNRI,
01:10more than 1,300 kilocalories per day
01:13is what a child aged 3 to 5 or those in kindergarten needs.
01:17More than 1,500 kilocalories per day
01:20is what a child aged 6 to 12 needs.
01:23More than 2,000 kilocalories per day
01:26is what a child aged 10 to 12 needs.
01:28But based on the nutrition survey,
01:30a large percentage of each age group
01:33falls and is not an achiever of sufficient nutrition.
01:37According to a nutritionist,
01:39it's important to prepare the food for the children.
01:44Some of the tips of the FNRI
01:46to make the student's meal healthy
01:48is to plan in advance the child's meal.
01:51Compact lunches.
01:53It should include four food groups.
01:56For example, rice, fried chicken, buttered vegetables,
02:00and fruits as a side dish.
02:02For sandwiches,
02:03have different fillings like tuna, cheese, egg, or chicken.
02:07It's also good to add vegetables
02:09like lettuce, tomatoes, or cucumber.
02:11Add milk or fruit juice as a drink.
02:14Make sure the water is clean.
02:16It's also better to put the food in a thermal or insulated lunchbox.
02:21Add nutritionist.
02:23As much as possible,
02:24don't feed them fried food every day.
02:27Children should also get used to eating fruits.
02:30If they taste different kinds of food every day,
02:37their preference for strong-flavored foods will be lost.
02:42That's why we encourage them
02:44to eat what their family eats,
02:46not what the child eats.
02:49This is the first news.
