Deal with Veggies!

     We celebrate yearly the Nutrition Month in order for us Filipinos to be more aware of what can vegetables give to our body. This year's Nutrition Month celebration’s theme is "Pagkain ng gulay ugaliin, araw-araw itong ihain!" 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.

     People nowadays are so much conscious of their health and their body. They eat more meat than vegetables. They think that through this way, they can maintain their health and their body. People who are like this are the people who don’t have enough knowledge about what vegetables can give to our body. One reason veggies are important is that they’re naturally filled with good-for-you vitamins your body needs!Your body doesn’t make vitamins – you have to give them to your body through the foods you eat. There are even some vitamins your body needs you to be gobbling up regularly, which is why you should eat vegetables every day. Vegetables are also really low in calories and full of healthy fiber.

     Eating right is very important -- it can be easy and fun to eat foods that are good for you like fruits and vegetables… not to mention that it can be tasty, too!
