Children in elementary school should receive health information...on how the body works! Its very simple! The nutrients in the food that goes into the mouth enters the bloodstream via the intestinal tract...like a sponge absorbing water. The nutrients in healthy food feed the organs in the body, which make it function and keep the body well. The bloodstream carries the nutrients throughout the body many times in 24 hours. This is the function of the bloodstream. The bloodstream is protected by the immune system with its lymph glands which produce white corpuscles,. They attack and clean out foreign proteins or other matter to keep the bloodstream clean.and free of contaminants. These invaders get into the body through putting the wrong substances into the mouth; other than nutritious food; or through a wound or even through breathing. The skin has 5 layers to protect the Bloodstream from becoming contaminated. It is an error to bypass the body's natural defense system using a needle. The Immune System was designed to protect us. Injecting any kind of matter into the bloodstream can overwhelm the Immune System and break it down.. i read about the Immune System over 50 years ago. Our educational system needs to teach beneficial information about health to every child. There is nothing more important than good health. Perhaps, if children started learning in grade school about their bodies, society in the future would be healthier mentally and physically..
