"Pagkain Ng Gulay Ugaliin, Araw-araw Itong Ihain"

Nutritionists claim that . . . "WHAT WE EAT, IS WHAT WE ARE"

Our physical health is maintained by that which we eat; for that which you put in your body, affects all of your organs and tissues. a wrong diet, or an indulged appetite of a good one, greatly hinders mental and physical efficiency. An improper diet not only injures our bodies, but keeps our minds from functioning as well as they should.

VEGETABLES, as we all know, have the richest source for the vitamins and minerals we MUST obtain. They have the greatest amount of energy our body needs, especially the green and leafy ones. They contain nutrients which keeps our systems in good condition to function properly. They are the BEST among other foods we eat. Some also have medicinal properties effective in curing illnesses.

Along these vitamins are as follows:

1. VITAMIN A
      - keeps mocus membranes healthy thus it protects against infections, even in infants.

2. VITAMIN B COMPLEX
      - protects and helps heart muscles, brain growth, nervous system, peristalsis, red blood count  and circulation.
      - works with other B VITAMINS in energy metabolism.

3. VITAMIN C (Ascorbic Acid)
      - vital in the treatment of lengthy list of physical disorders and diseases.
      - needed for production of COLLAGEN (Cell Cement), the main protein of the body.

4. VITAMIN D (Ergosterol, Calciferol, Viosterol)
      - needed for the absorption of calcium, phosphorous and other minerals in the digestive tract.
     
5. VITAMIN E (Tocopherols)

Without vitamins, you would quickly die. They are crucial to all life functions. They are also called co-enzymes because they work with enzymes and enable them to trigger all body processes.

A lot of benefits we could get from them. Sad to say, others still hate vegetables and they rather prefer the meat products. Like the small children. Most of them are the ones encountering diseases and infections because they choose junk foods and sweets over the nutritious ones. Their immune system then, becomes weak and they mow have less energy to perform their daily task.

Do what it takes to live right and you will be richly repaid later on. It is worth any convenience to have good health. Radiant health is a reward worth any price.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH, EAT VEGETABLES :)
