In August 2026, the Vietnam Nutrition Association organized the 2026 Scientific Nutrition Conference for the Central and Central Highlands regions in Khanh Hoa Province, under the theme “Appropriate Nutrition for Infectious Diseases.” The event brought together nutrition experts, scientists, and representatives of healthcare institutions to share research findings and solutions for applying nutrition in disease prevention, treatment, and recovery.
At the conference, experts highlighted the important role of nutrition in maintaining the immune system and strengthening the body’s ability to defend itself against pathogens. A balanced diet that provides sufficient energy and essential nutrients such as protein, vitamin C, iron, zinc, and selenium helps support immune cell function and contributes to overall health.

In addition to food and essential nutrients, water is another indispensable element of health management. It is involved in nearly all vital bodily functions, including transporting oxygen and nutrients, regulating body temperature, supporting digestion, maintaining blood pressure, eliminating metabolic waste, and keeping tissues hydrated. According to general recommendations, adults should consume approximately 2–2.5 liters of water per day to support normal physiological functions. Given that water is consumed continuously throughout life, choosing an appropriate water source becomes an important part of everyday health management.
Speaking at the conference, Ms. Nguyễn Thị Nga, Chief Executive Officer of Khanh Hoa Mineral Water Joint Stock Company (Vikoda), explained that the distinctive qualities of Vikoda originate from the natural formation of its water source. Every drop of Vikoda begins as rainfall over the Trường Sơn Mountain Range, gradually seeping through ancient granite formations to a depth of 220 meters before being extracted at source. Over millions of years beneath the earth’s surface, the water undergoes natural filtration and becomes enriched with valuable naturally occurring minerals, while being protected by a pristine 35-hectare ecosystem.
Vikoda’s exhibition booth, showcasing products with the brand’s new packaging, attracted considerable interest and appreciation from conference attendees.
To preserve the natural properties of its mineral water, Vikoda employs a closed-loop extraction and bottling process using food-grade stainless steel pipelines directly at the source. Rather than relying on intensive chemical treatment, the brand applies physical filtration technology to remove suspended particles while preserving the water’s natural mineral composition in every bottle. The combination of a water source naturally formed over millions of years and stringent quality control processes makes Vikoda a suitable choice for daily hydration, supporting a proactive and healthy lifestyle.
Beyond the role of water in nutrition, the conference also addressed several important aspects of contemporary healthcare, particularly the relationship between nutrition, immunity, and patients’ recovery. According to experts, nutritional care should be considered an integral part of comprehensive treatment, especially for patients with severe illnesses. Providing adequate energy, protein, and essential nutrients helps patients maintain muscle mass, improve immune responses, and support the recovery process. Furthermore, raising public awareness of nutrition is equally important, particularly in areas where access to food resources and healthcare services remains limited.

Vikoda’s role as Diamond Sponsor of the 2026 Scientific Nutrition Conference in the Central and Central Highlands regions demonstrates the company’s commitment to supporting scientific, healthcare, and community initiatives, contributing to greater public awareness of the importance of nutrition and water in maintaining good health.
Looking ahead, Vikoda will continue to promote the value of its natural alkaline mineral water while bringing the message of proactive health management to an even wider audience of Vietnamese consumers – starting with simple yet meaningful choices made every day.
