Story
My nutrition hasn’t always been the best. As a child my parents would force me to eat with them. When I turned 16, I told them I was old enough to decide what to eat and what not to eat and I stopped eating fruit and vegetables and started eating junk food every day. After a few months of poor eating, I started to get headaches. I was in unbearable pain most of the time. It got so bad at one point that I couldn’t even go to school anymore. I finally decided to listen to my parents and I went to the doctor. I was immediately diagnosed with vitamin deficiency and the doctor prescribed me a bunch of supplements to take daily as well as some other medicine to help relieve the pain. Within a few days, I was back on my feet, thank goodness! And now I make sure I eat lots of fruit and vegetables EVERY DAY. Maybe it is true that an apple a day keeps the doctor away!
