The 2019 Nutrition Month theme is "Kumain nang wasto at maging aktibo... push natin 'to!" (Eat healthy and do physical activity... let's push this!)
The theme encourages everyone to advocate and realize the importance of healthy diets, increased physical activity, and reduced sedentary behavior. Pushing the advocacy means that each everyone can contribute to better nutrition and physical activity for better health.
The Nutrition Month logo for the theme shows the balance that needs to be achieved through healthy diet as symbolized by the leaf of a vegetable and physical activity by moving figures of people.
