STOP MALNUTRITION


Having a hard time gaining weight? Tired of being teased as a “walking bamboo” by your classmates and, or malnourished said by friends? Well, I could relate to that. Same here people doesn’t get tired of teasing me, if not called malnourish because of my body figure, all the time I was mistaken as a 14 years old…ouch that hurts.

Well an irony of life, many people wants to lose weight, but here I am wants to gain some. People could not be contented really. Anyways, malnourishment is really popular to Philippines. Almost in many studies we hit the top. Funny yet alarming. To think, we are not yet that civilized and so we are still rich in these foods good for the body. A country blessed in its nature, a plants and trees which are lavishing of fruits and vegetables. But why is this happening to our country? Why does malnutrition being suffered by Filipinos specially children.

One bad culture of Filipinos is that of selfishness. They think only for themselves and their own satisfaction, leaving behind their obligations to other people specially their children. Instead of providing foods for the family they spend it rather to their vices. Poor children suffered, they could not get the right nutrition they should have. And instead of eating fruits and vegetables, they consume junks in their body which soon causes malnutrition. This also was the cause of them being prone to sickness for the junks weaken our immune system.

These are some of those many alarming problems our country faces. A lesson that each Filipinos should learned. Think also for the benefit of others, enough of selfishness. Giving children the proper nutrition they should have would lessen this malnutrition.

As for me now, I’m starting to learn to eat vegetables, my stomach can’t take it but hey it’s what my body needs. “Starting a new life” I joke on them. Well at least now they couldn’t tease me anymore.

Fresh from the trees in the forest this I tell you, if you want to have a long and healthy life, start acknowledging Mr. Fruits and Mrs. Vegetables in your life.
