Nutrition Advice is a two-way digital communication tool where users can receive expert and personalized recommendations from licensed dietitians and lifestyle doctors. It is designed to provide nutritional advice related to weight management, diabetes, and hypertension.
Teleconsultations became the norm during the onset of the pandemic, but its popularity has not waned because of the convenience it brings to people seeking expert medical advice. Inspired by this innovation, Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation (APC Group), in consultation with the Philippine Society of Nutritionists-Dietitians (PSND), developed and recently launched the Nutrition Advice web app. The feature allows Filipinos to easily connect with nutrition experts wherever they are.
“A lot of nutrition information is available online, but since health is a very personal matter that requires dedicated discussions, we at Ajinomoto developed Nutrition Advice to help Filipinos easily connect with experts that can guide them in achieving their wellness goals,” APC Group general manager for corporate planning and public relations Roann Co said.
The Nutrition Advice web app is part of Ajinomoto’s efforts to actively address food and health issues in the Philippines. Aside from the web app, Ajinomoto is actively promoting balanced diet and sodium reduction through the BawAsin® campaign, an effort to encourage consumers to reduce their salt intake without sacrificing deliciousness. The Mag-Pinggang Pinoy® Tayo! Project which promotes the practice of Pinggang Pinoy®, an easy-to-understand healthy food plate guide for Filipinos.
These initiatives are testament to APC Group’s commitment to its vision of leading in the co-creation of better wellness by resolving food and health issues with sustainable initiatives.
These efforts are attuned to the Ajinomoto Group creating a shared value (ASV) framework, which directs the company to realize greater wellness for people around the world through thoughtful business activities.
“We at Ajinomoto are doing our best to be a solution-providing company for food and health issues. By developing Nutrition Advice, we hope to help more Filipinos to eat well and live well,” Co said.
