Good health and nutrition is really all about eating
a variety of food in the right amount, as prescribed in the food pyramid. As we
count our calories and fat, so do we need to consider our vitamins and
minerals.
I was amaze as Pfizer launched the Centrum NutriCoach, an easily accessible on line tool that will allow us to keep track of the nutrients they we get from what we
eat on a daily basis.

nutrition tracker to its kind tailor fit to my lifestyle and diet.An innovative on line tool , the Centrum Nutri Coach
allows me to input exactly what I ate from a variety of food choices that
include my favorite like inihaw Na pork chop and halo halo in a virtual plate.
It also takes into consideration other traditional components of health and
nutrition like level of physical activity and my age as well. All this
information will then be used to compute my general state of nutrition and give

The launch of the Centrum Nutri Coach come on the
heels of the research study done by the Food and Nutritional Research Institute
which showed that an alarming 70% Filipino household don’t get the prescribed
amount of vitamins and minerals we need.
Unhealthy eating such as low consumption of fruits
and vegetables and high increase in consumption of meat and meat products,
coupled with sedentary lifestyle all contribute to this double burden of
disease.
With the launch of Centrum Nutri Coach, I can make
nutrition not just easy and accessible but also fun. Now that I, for the first
time can actually have a hand in keeping track of my food intake, I can choose
to be healthy.
