Nutrition Month 2018: "Ugaliing magtanim, Sapat na nutrisyon aanihin"

The national nutrition month is celebrated every July and according to the National Nutrition Council, the theme for this year's celebration is "Ugaliing magtanim, Sapat na nutrisyon aanihin" This theme intends to persuade Filipino families in planting fruits and vegetables together in order to keep their body healthy and to remind them the importance of planting or food gardening.

Nowadays, people thought that planting is just a simple thing to do but the truth is that this simple  thing is very hard to reach that some can't even plant fruits and vegetables in their own backyard. Our body will be strong and healthy if we are planting fruits and vegetables that we can eat than buying fruits and vegetables that have preservatives and chemicals that are added on it in order for them to preserve its freshness so that they can sell it in a more expensive price. We should start encouraging our family and fellow students to start planting different kinds of nutritious foods that contains vitamins and minerals because not only the farmers have the ability to plant, all of us can plant only if we want to because there's nothing wrong in planting but it is very helpful in maintaining our body strong and healthy and it can also help in lessening the pollution that can cause different diseases and can harm our body. It is healthy and delicious to eat fruits and veggies that you and your family planted because you knew and you are sure that it is safe because it is planted with natural fertilizers and it is freshly harvested without preservatives and any other chemicals that might destroy your health. Food gardening is very helpful and useful for us and for our family because we can safely eat it or we can sell it for additional income that our family can use.

If we start planting now, today's generation and also the  next generations will be benefited and they can continue what we've started so that they can live healthy. So let's start now in order for us to live a happy and healthy life.
