The Nutrition Month is celebrated every July of the year and is celebrated in every school. This year's Nutrition Month celebration has a theme, " Kalamidad Paghandaan, Gutom at Malnutrisyon Agapan."Earthquakes, tsunamis, and strong typhoons such as Typhoon Perya, Ondoy, Yolanda, and the most recent Typhoon Glenda had already hit our country. These calamities destroyed many properties, and stole many lives and natural resources. Many Filipinos suffered during and after these calamities. They lost their beloved ones and experienced shortage. these sufferings kind of hinder the progress of our country, and affect the health of people in a negative way. How? Due to sarcacity, people suffer hunger or starvation and may lead to malnutrition or maybe even death. But these terrible things can be prevented through many ways. the very first and important thing should be done is to take care and conserve the natural resources. Don't be greedy or very abusive in using these resources like there's no tomorrow. Think of the future, if these resources will be overused now, will we have anything to have when calamities come? Just like in the story of the grasshopper and the ant. The grasshopper just played around when the sun was still bright, while the ant worked hard to earn foods to be ready if the rain comes. But when it rained, the grasshopper didn't had anything to eat but the ant had stocks of food that he earned when the weather was still good. So, this story kinda reflect in our lives.
This month's theme helps us realize that we must prepare for the calamities that may come and prevent the most frightened thing that may happen to us, starving and malnutrition.
