Nutrition Month Celebration

Every year,on the month of July,every school in the Philippines,celebrates Nutrition Month. For this July,we celebrate it with the theme of "Wastong Nutrisyon Kailangan,Lifestyle Diseases Iwasan". Different contests were organized by the Step Club for this celebration:Oratorical contest,Cook Fest,Food Fest,Quiz Bee,Nutri Jingle,Poster-Slogan Making Contest and many more,were held and joined by students from first year to fourth year.

So,let's focus on the theme,"Wastong Nutrisyon Kailangan, Lifestyle Diseases Iwasan. What does this mean? As the years pass by, the world is into modernization. Due to this, lives are becoming shorter and shorter. Why? Because it affects the lifestyle of people. We can see in our surroundings,people who are addicted to cigarettes and alcoholic beverages. These came from science and technology. Because of these, many people suffer from different diseases. Like lung cancer for those chain smokers;liver cancer,for those who drink large quantity of alcohol and many other complications. These diseases can lead to death. Some die because they don't have enough knowledge. Some die because they don't care about their health. Even though they know that that it's bad for them, they'd still go for it. Instead of eating healthy foods which can help lessen the effects of their bad lifestyles,they eat foods which are bad for their health.

We must keep in our minds that healthy lifestyle is within ourselves. We need proper nutrition to fight or to avoid lifestyle diseases. So what can we do? We can avoid these diseases by being conscious in our diet,meaning,we should eat green leafy vegetables,fruits, and foods which are nutritious. We should also avoid having a low resistance, we can take multivitamins or ascorbic acid.

For a healthy lifestyle, we must be responsible on avoiding diseases caused by our own lifestyle. We are the one's who are responsible in taking care of ourselves. We must always remember that the best way to avoid lifestyle diseases is on our proper nourishment.

So, we now know that celebrating the Nutrition Month, is a big deal and we must NOT take it for granted. And we MUST learn to take good care of our health by our healthy lifestyle.
