This Wednesday we had an interesting presentation about nutrition. This presentation was an eye opener, not only to me but to many in my class as well. Mr. Diaz came to talk to us about how nutrition is important to our bodies and lives. There were several concepts I knew because I took a nutrition class a few years ago. One thing did surprise me, milk. Personally, I hate drinking milk. It just tastes weird to me and its a hassle just to finish half a glass of milk. Cows are injected with hormones, to make production bigger and faster, and its found in meat, milk, cheese, etc. Milk does give our bones calcium, but it takes out a whole lot more than we but in. I haven't tasted milk in close to a year now. Instead of milk, I substitute it with almond or soy milk. I think it tastes better than cow milk.
Cancer is a huge part of my family. My great grandmother had cancer three times and she has had kimo twice. The third time my family and I sent her to Mexico for a "all natural, no medication" treatment. It really worked. When she had check ups the cancer cells were becoming smaller until it was practically gone. I do believe in natural remedies and not in medication. Medicine only treats symptoms, but any sickness does have to deal with nutrition.
After the talk, I went home and told the information to my family. I made it clear that nutrition is very important and if we want to live longer then we have to change our poor habits and be more active. Most of my family want to change their poor eating habits but we tend to fail once in a while. Its going to be a long road ahead of us but, a journey of a thousand miles begins with just one step.
Nutrition is a part of us; we just need to improve our poor decisions and make nutrition better for us. We only live once, so why not make it right?
