GOOD NUTRITION IS OUR MISSION
Every month of July we are celebrating nutrition month nationwide. This year’s theme is “Ugaliing Magtanim Sapat na Nutrisyon Aanihin”. this is very important because it focuses on assessing each student and every citizen the importance of proper and adequate nutrition in our body thru planting.
The message of this year’s theme means that we need to learn to plant so that in the future we will get enough nutrition from the crops we will harvest. We should not always rely on our farmers, a day will come that the agricultural sector will become low. So as early as now we should learn to plant and make it a habit, there are many ways on how we can plant a variety of vegetables and fruits; it can be our yard, vacant lot or even the wasted plastic bottles especially when living in a home that is limited to the land space to be used. Is it hard to plant? Even our farmers who plants everyday just to give us food to live doesn’t even complain sometimes we even waste and disregard their crops. Why must we plant our own vegetable and fruits? It is because nowadays most store-bought vegetables can’t match the flavor of home grown because we do not know what they added and it may contain pesticide and can be poisonous so we must plant instead to minimize pesticide exposure another reason is that it can also save your grocery bill. When eating vegetables it also provides health benefits. People who eat more vegetables and fruits as part of an overall healthy diet are likely to have a reduced risk of some chronic diseases and it also provides nutrients for health and maintenance of our body.
Remember that gardening is not only for an individual hence it is for the whole family and community; it means that it’s social. You’ll have a bounty to share with friends and neighbors. You can also introduce a person on how to plant and grow vegetables and fruits and make it their daily habit for a healthy life.
