Appropriate Nutrients Starts On You Mommy

          This July, the celebration of Nutrtion Month has been declared with its theme,” Isulong ang Breastfeeding, Tama ,Sapat at Ekslusibo.”

          For me, its good that July has benn choosen as the Nutrition Month because it is good for all students, workers, and others ready for work specially this academic year, but it will be better if this celebration is expanded within the whole year?

          This celebration was done to inform people to change their bad lifestyles and remember the good benefits of breastfeeding. Mothers are all adults who are told enough to make their own deecisions instead of being told what to do by other people but they must more inform too.

          Breastfeeding must do action today for the baby’s future, they might getmore nutrients from their mothers milk than those commercial botled milk or powdered milk which have many substances that may shorten lifespan of a person. This process is very important that’s why the DOH( Department of Health ) decided to amend and to expand to cover all areas in Philippines to use breastfeeding. If a mother wants to plan for her baby in the future, she must take note always of the health of her baby because a healthy person can enjoy his life, achieve longer lifespan, gain more friends in his company and specailly, achieve hios goals in life. To achieve all this things, all have started at new born baby, sometimes viruses and germs are just waiting out there and getting time to get into our bidy. So decide, bottled milk or mothers milk? Remember all are started at small.

          To resplendent own’s future, mother should always think for the goodness of her baby. If I were a baby, I don’t like to drink commercialed one. I will be like a batty which doesn’t savvy what it will be. Don’t forget, milk from breastfeeding is more important than others. Appropriate breastfeeding should a baby receive for a heathy mommy who will give. “ ang gatas ng aso ay para sa mga puppy, ang gatas ng baka ay para sa baka, at ang gatas ng ina ay para sa bata. PASENSYA! Hindi hayop ang bata para uminom ng gatas ng iba.”

CHANGE: Starts On You!

Dear  Sir President:

                Greetingss!

                Sir, recently your administration purposed a complete ban on smoking in public areas.

                For me, it is a good proposal that’s overdue, but willl it be better if the ban is expanded to cover all public areas?

                A complete ban will change smokers lifestyles, and eventhough many substances such as carbon monoxide, tar and nicotine in cigerette smoke are hazardous to their health, they are all adults who are told enough to make their own choices instead of being told what to do by other people.

                It seems that smokers are being discriminated against, but they may have made a lot of contributions to society-is the ban fair payment for their great contributions?

                On the other hand, if the ban is not enforced, its unfair for the non-smokers, who are forced to breathe in the poisonous smoke and face the same health risks. Don’t they have the right to breathe in a freshed air and avoid health risks, especially the restaurant staff who are working in a closed area filled with second-hand smoke.

                Even for pedestrians in the crowded streets, all they can do Is to cough and cover their noses with their hands.

                I can see no reason smokers should enjoy the right to harm others. Only non-smokers know how deeply it hurts. I often leave a restaurant without finishing my meal merely because I cant bear the second-hand smoke.

                Furthermore, smoking is just like drug abuse and is even more disgusting as it brings many side effects to others. It is undeniable that smiking is harmful to everyone, but many people are blind to their own faults. If  the total ban is enforced, it’s a chance for smokers to be considerate and take more time to lead a healthy life.

                Also, it prevents children from imitating smokers. So, will any sensible person disagree with this welcome ban?

                I hope Sir President for the change and also help and cooperation of your administration to enforced smoking ban.

                                                                                                          Very truly yours,
                                                             FLORDELITO ALVIN T. RESUELLO
