Vitamins or sickness?


It’s back to school. As we are lining, together with other students on the registration area, my friend was whining about her cough, well it’s not really a cough, she could just feel an itch at her throat that makes her cough. Apparently, she was not feeling well. She’d been sick since the first day of class, and that was when we had coke for snack. Well, its actually our fault because we insisted her to share it with us, I feel very guilty of course. I didn’t know that her resistance wasn’t that strong.


Anyway, telling her story as we were waiting in line, I feel pity about her. She’d been suffering from different illnesses, and if I wasn’t mistaken it was ever since she was a child. Her immune system to fight illnesses wasn’t that strong. It became an obstruction mostly on school activities. She couldn’t focus that much on schooling because of this inconveniences she suffer every time it would attack. A burden it is. Hearing such story, enlighten me to really eat healthy foods [especially vegetables and fruits] to boost body resistance against illnesses. It’s very uncomfortable when one is sick, it hinders you to do the things you should be doing on that day, too many uncomfortable feelings that you would suffer and not to mention the money you would spend for the medication and worst hospital payments.



Seeing my friend suffer from that sickness, I thought that compare to the money I would possibly spend for the medications an apple a day which cost 20 pesos or a vegetables that cost just how many compare to that of hospital fees would cover all those expenses. See how irony it is? People don’t like those foods that are needed by there body but then whine a lot of the hospital fees.



Well, it was for us to think of everything. Vitamins or sickness?
