00:00Hypertension, heart disease, and diabetes are the lifestyle diseases that led to the death of the residents of Quezon City in 2023.
00:10A local government was able to prevent this by putting a calorie label on the menu of some foods.
00:18The FITRAC in the report of Yvonne Aquino.
00:21More than 16% of adults in Quezon City have hypertension.
00:3040% have high cholesterol.
00:32Overweight and obese also increased in the city.
00:36Because of this, Quezon City LGU passed the Calorie Labeling Ordinance
00:41that obliges food establishments to display the calorie count of the foods on their menu.
00:47It is an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the impact of food on our health.
00:52Calories are measured in the energy that is obtained from eating and drinking.
00:56According to the Nutrient Dietician of the city, it is only recommended to have a calorie intake on a daily basis.
01:02If it is too much or too little, it is bad for your health.
01:06An imbalanced calorie intake, whether too much or too little,
01:10can increase the risk of developing conditions like obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and other micronutrient deficiencies.
01:18Even though the nutrient information of the food can be asked for by the customer under the ordinance.
01:24Phase 1 of the ordinance will be implemented on December 21, 2025.
01:29It includes food businesses that have five or more branches in the city
01:33and have standardized menu items or those that are not replaced within 60 days or more.
01:39Exempted are those that do not include standardized menu items,
01:43barangay micro-business enterprises, and micro-small-medium enterprises like karenderya.
01:49This cafe already has a calorie content on its menu.
01:54We are also planning to put a calorie count.
01:57But when Mayor Jordan gave the ordinance, we were pushed through.
02:03Okay, let's put it.
02:05I wish I could ride it.
02:07Then I saw 200 plus calories.
02:10There, the 150 calories of cappuccino.
02:13It's good because it reminds us of the food and drinks we take.
02:19It's not just the calories that we should look at, but also the nutrients.
02:22For example, a soft drink that is a zero-calorie food,
02:26but there is no nutrition compared to a rice or banana that has 100 calories,
02:33but it has nutrients.
02:35And if you have a health condition,
02:37consult a doctor first for your calorie and meal plan.
