about us

How many fad diets did you already try? Are you often tricked by Nutrition Facts labels? Do you want to know the next big nutrition trends? Or do you want to try different healthy strategies for dealing with emotional eating? 

​

UpLate will help you with all of that!

​

UpLate (Upgrade Your Plate) is a health promotion project primarily focused on helping 3PTA students to build awareness and consciousness about what and why they eat and their eating patterns and habits through posting of weekly podcasts and administration of meal trackers. 

 

The following are the specific objectives of UpLate:

  1. To be knowledgeable about the effects of consuming healthy and unhealthy food within 1 month;

  2. To be aware and to learn how to acquire health information such as tips from experts and nutritional facts of a food from credible sources in digital/social media within 1 month; and

  3. To practice an increase in consumption of healthy food and reduce consumption of unhealthy food for 1 month
