The theme focuses on
encouraging Filipinos to increase consumption of vegetables to address
micronutrient deficiencies and prevent non-communicable diseases such as
cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes.
I believe healthy nutrition is the most important
factor for maintaining and keeping good health. Healthy nutrition basically is
eating healthy and balanced from all the basic food groups; which consists of
the dairy group, poultry group, fruit group, vegetable group and a little from
the fats, oils, and sweets groups. It is also imperative to drink an adequate
amount that corresponds with the daily guidelines of eight glasses a day which
is equivalent to a one two-liter soda per day. In order for myself to attain
this status of eating healthy I kept a food log for a month that has the
entries of what I ate each day.
So, now let us all eat vegetables for a healthy and
nutritious living.
