PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Every day, every night, my father is looking for a healthier life, he is always searching for healthy food, supplements, and devices who will help him and our family maintain a healthy life. I can’t remember a day without seeing my father in his iPad or computer at night just researching about the best foods, vegetables and fruits, looking for their nutritional facts and the best way to eat them and prepare them. No, my father is not a nutritionist, but I’m sure if he had another chance to choose a career it would be something related to health or nutrition. I guess that every day I have the chance to learn something new, because I discover, along my father, new types of food and interesting facts about them. One time he asked me to watch a documental on Netflix stating that food coming from animals isn’t good for our health. In fact, our house is full of supplements, pills and health devices. Every morning I hear the blender, because he is preparing a new green juice, full of different vegetables and some rare supplements. Another time he discovered that the pineapple was a very good fruit, so he ate a lot of pineapple for weeks until his tongue couldn’t be more damaged because of the acidity of the pineapple, right now and because of that, there is just the right amount of pineapple in our house. I remember one time that he wanted to change the family’s diet, so he wrote on a table all the new meals and recipes, of course, my mother was complaining because she just wanted to give us “quesadillas” every day. My father always says that he is on the research and developing team of our family, I think that everyone agrees, week after week we see another health product or device in our house, it’s simply amazing. At night, he also uses his iPad to watch a lot of videos and conferences about how every product that the supermarket sells is bad to our health, one time I thought that everything was bad for our health in some way, you know what nutritionists say. Some people wonder why my father is very interested in nutriology, one day he said to me: I want to have a healthy life to see your children growing up some day and be able to spend time with them and with your family.
