Health, a topic to talk about

Every school year, we celebrate the so called nutrition month. During this month, many activities are being undertaken so as to remind and inculcate in each student's mind the the necessity of possessing good health and practicing health habits as well.
Activities during this celebration include nutri-jingle wherein each student is encouraged to impart their ideas in order to come up with a jingle/song expressing health matters. Aside from this, there is also food festival, nutri-quiz and other related activities. Food festival is exciting, indeed we can experience in here budgeting, marketing, cooking and selling foods that we ourselves prepared.
Today’s theme of the nutrition month is “Wastong Nutrisyon Kailangan, Lifestyle Diseases Iwasan.” Simple words as they seem to appear but with very deep meaning and impact incorporated within. Traditionally, we eat foods without so much nutrition value. This contributes to the weakening of our physical body, thus lifestyle diseases easily enter our systems. And so, by having such theme, may we become aware of the nutrition value of the food we are taking in. Not only during this period of time but throughout our lives. May this awareness be the beginning of a different lifestyle in our lives. Let this theme be a real campaign to each one.
“Health is Wealth” and “Life is Fragile” so let’s handle our lives with extra care and with fervent prayer. And that, may we enjoy life to the fullest and explore the beauty of God’s creation by having good health.
