The Iloilo City Health Office (CHO) recently recommended eating moderately this Christmas season.

“Eating your favorite food is not prohibited, like if you want to eat lechon, but you should eat moderately,” explained Iloilo City health officer, Dr. Bernard Caspe.

He noted, consuming foods with too much sugar and cholesterol may result in hypertension and diabetes.

Caspe added, CHO and all nine health centers offer free blood pressure monitoring and consultation, along with free medication for those with hypertension and diabetes./WDJ
