Every 7th month of the year, schools all over our country Celebrate the Nutrition Month. They hold different kinds of copetitionand skills training that are pocused on giving awareness to the importance of right and proper nutrition to our health and as well as enhancing the talents of the students' livelihood and technological skills.
And as a way of joining the nation's celebration to Nutrition Month , our school had done a lot of fun and educational activities! They had Nutri Quiz, Oratorical Contest, Mural Painting, Cookfest, Food Festival, Poster-Slogan Making Contest and Nutri Jingle competitions.
The competitions are all fun, exciting and meaningful. I too can't help but to get enthraled during the competitions even when in fact, I didn't join any of them. (i served as a facilitator on this events, hehe ^.^)
And now that the Nutrition Month has ended, I would like to share to you bloggers my insights regarding the Nutrition Month themed, "Wastong Nutrisyon Kailangan, Lifestyle Diseases Iwasan"
Lifestyle diseases have contributed a lot of major problems to our own health ant to the nation's economy. This has become a big threat to our lives that, it needs urgent action in addressing this rising problem. Right and proper nutrition is onre of the best solution. This is what we need in order to prevent this lifestyle diseases.
Our practice and observation to our bodies had been affected by the modernizations brought about by the 21st Century. Our present lifestyle have evolved from the simple and equilibrized way of living t a very fast-paced and unhealthy terms of living. This generation's lifestyle-which has been a result of our ill-relationship with the environment-paved way to new kinds of of diseases. Heart-related diseases caused by improper and excessive intake of alchohol and high-cholesterol foods yielded a high percentage to our country's mortalities. Cancer which has been the leading cause of death in the whole world is also believed to have been caused by our diet of factory-processed foods.
By contrast to this present day lifestyle, the traditional practice of proper diet and nutrition has been accounted to give life - long benefits to our bodies' health. Eating well-balnced diet, proper and regular exercise can help us maintain a healthy mind and body. These has been testified by our ancestors who have enjoyed a long and invigorated life.
These real-life examples do not only show us a picture of life but also, it alerts and motivates us to practice and give importance to our bodies' proper nutrition and to keep away from the pit-falls posed by life-style related diseases. =)
