Nutrition Talk

     So on Wednesday, we had a guess speaker come in and talk to us about nutrition. His name was Mr. Diaz and he shared with us information that not a lot of people know about. He told us that many of the things we consume have already gone through a whole process that eliminates healthy vitamins and adds unhealthy things. Mr. Diaz explained how the nutritional labels in mostly everything we buy from stores have ingredients that we have no clue what they are. That to me seems so harmful to our bodies.
    The most shocking thing that he told me was the truth about medicine. Mr. Diaz said that when we get sick, we all obviously go to the doctor. The doctor then examines you and prescribes you medication. The thing that I didn't know is that the medication he prescribes only treats the symptoms, never the real problem. He said that only about 6% of doctors advise their patients to start eating healthier and make better choices in order to get rid of your problem and it's symptoms. This was a real eye opener to me.
     Another eye opener that he said was that we can achieve perfect health another way. The other way is by eating fruits and vegetables. They give you all the things that are vital to your body. Unlike medicine that treats symptoms and eventually makes worsens the problems, fruits and vegetables fight it. Mr. Diaz said that in some places it is illegal to cure yourself with vegetable juice. That made me see the power in natural things.
