Nutrition Theme in the Philippines


"Sa Pagkaing Tama at Sapat, Wastong Timbang ni Baby ang Katapat"

In the webster's dictionary, health is define as the condition of being sound in body, mind or spirit or freedom from physical disease or pain. Nutrition, on the other hand, refers to the science that deals with all the various factors of which food is composed and the way in which proper nourishment is brought about. Health and nutrition are like Siamese twins that go together. A person can not be healthy, unless he/she is proper nourished.
We need nutrients to live and we eat food to be able to get these nutrients. There are many food choices and there are also reasons for choosing them. Each of this choices contributes to our total nutrient intake that brings about good nutrition. Nutrients provide energy, contribute to structure, and regulate biological processes. There are also other required substances but are considered nonessential because they can be manufactured by the body in sufficient amounts.
In cells, protein is an integral part of the cell membrane,the cytoplasm, and the organelles. The skin, hair and muscles are made up largely of protein. The bones and teeth are made up of minerals fixed in a protein framework. If your diet lacks of protein these structures may breakdown. The muscles become smaller, the skin becomes inelastic, and the hair becomes thin and can be easily be pulled out from the roots.
Good nutrition and its maintenance is basic to health. Most people are concerned with food taken daily without any regard for practices or habits, which may influence good health. The choice of food involves a wide selection on the kind and amount that the body should take. It is essential that people should understand that the nutrients in food must be utilized to be able to get maximum nutritional benefits.
More attention must be given on preventive medicine than any curative measure. Prevention of diseases is given more emphasis than therapy, since what is prevented does not need to be treated. Proper nutrition is one of the most important and effective measures against diseases. Eating the right amounts and kinds of food everyday is a contribution to nutrition and the prevention of diseases.

We all know that Baguio City is the summer capital in the Philippines. And we spent our vacation there with my family and friends. During our vacation I enjoy walking in the Burnham park during dawn and during sunset.In this vacation I do simple things.I visited my grandparents there and also I pasted my application form at Saint Louis University "SLU" for my entrance examination.For the first time, I saw the Saint Louis University. That universityis very amazing and wonderful because I saw many tall buildings. I enjoy very much my vacation with my family and my friends especially we bond together, enjoy together and we spent our vacation very peaceful. I hope there will be again a vacation like this.

My Reflections

In the third grading, I learned many things like the other grading past. This I learned how to put an images, colors, sizes, background colors in the HTML and also how to put a HTML links. All that things, I successfully to make my own web page using the things I learned in this grading. Through this success I would like to thank Ma'am Vera Cruz for teaching us all this things because of her I have an idea on how to make another web page. And through this I can also use this as a basis in my college life. I also thank my classmates who help me in making my project. Without them I won't past my project in time. So in the coming and last grading I will do my very best so that I will passed this subject and hoping that all my projects and assignments will accomplish.
