“Nutrition Month Celebration”

            July! What do you think what we are celebrating this month of July? July is the month of nutrition with the theme: “ Pagkain ng Gulay Ugaliin, Araw-araw Itong Ihain”.

             The theme of this is all about vegetables. But the question, are we eating vegetables? Almost all of us nowadays specially to the youth and to the rich families are not eating vegetables instead they are more eating meaty foods. I think the reason of the rich families who are not eating vegetables is because it’s cheap. They like more to go to a class restaurant like Jollibee, Mang Inasal, Shakey’s, etc. and also they think that eating in a restaurant is very good to our health specially to the food that we are eating and they also tell that they have money to buy anything. They do not know that vegetables are very good to our health because it contains  vitamins, proteins and minerals that we need to have a healthy body. Vitamins are chemicals that help our body use carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. We need certain vitamins to build blood cells and body chemicals such as hormones and we can only get this all by eating vegetables like squash, its makes our sense of sight be improved, bitter gourd, to clean our blood, papaya, it makes our skin whiten and many more. Also by eating vegetables, we can easily protect ourselves from different diseases like fever, cough, colds and many more and if we can protect ourselves from diseases, we can save money for our future instead if we are not eating vegetables, we can easily get diseases and that will be the reason why we need to buy medicines. But I’m not telling that we will always eat vegetables in our everyday meal instead we should put vegetables to have proper diet.

            So for me, eating vegetables is a very important matter or a thing that we should include to our daily living. We should keep on eating vegetables and continue to reach our goals by having good health. EATWELL! LIVELONG!  EAT VEGETABLES!
