#PSND2020Convention #Virtual PUSH Nutrition: PSND Unravels Solutions for Health and Nutrition

When the new decade unfolds before us this 2020, we were overwhelmed by the news every week including the Taal Volcano Eruption; Polio outbreak; growing mental health concerns among youth; bush fires on Australia, Indonesia and the Amazon; and of course the emergence of the COVID-19 global pandemic. These events escalated our uncertainties which affected our decisions in planning, implementation of plans and ways forward in the future. However, one thing that matters in all these uncertainties is the importance of good health and proper nutrition. This year in time of the COVID-19 pandemic and the new normal condition the Philippine Society of Nutritionist-Dietitians (PSND), Inc. choose the theme PUSH Nutrition: PSND Unravels Solutions for Health and Nutrition to discuss ways, approaches and strategies in the pursuit of maintaining and improving proper health and nutrition in times of the new normal. This year we will also elect a new set of PSND Officers for 2021-2022. We hope that this annual convention, which for the first time will be undertaken virtually, will not only provide you with relevant information, may it also uplift our drive in promoting proper health and nutrition particularly in trying times.
