For this reason, I have been able to relate this topic directly to my career, since I am involved in the field of health, specifically oral health, in which all the foods we consume will play a fundamental role. This is due, on the one hand, to the fact that a person who has a diet high in fermentable carbohydrates will potentially increase their probability of presenting cavities and impair the existing balance in their oral cavity. On the other hand, diet will not only have a localized role, it will influence at a systemic level, positively or negatively affecting the general health of a person, depending on how balanced their diet is.

 

Based on what was mentioned above, I would like to tell from my experience the relationship I have had with food and how it has allowed me to link nutrition with dentistry, in order to positively influence those people I can help with my experiences and knowledge.

 

I would like to start by talking about my passion for everything related to a person's health, this was born in me in a very natural way, generating a great desire to learn about the causes of good health, the best way to find out about this was to read , watch social networks, documentaries and follow people who focused on these topics that interested me. In this way, gradually collecting so much information in my head, I realized that everything ended up originating in a very simple and everyday aspect, food, therefore, my interest began to lean more and more towards this matter in specific, which allowed me to understand that it was the fundamental basis for any health career. So, I decided to investigate among these careers the one that most caught my attention and matched my outstanding skills, which led me to study dentistry. Being this a great decision that I was able to make, since throughout the time that I have been studying the degree, I have managed to discover through my classes and teachers the close relationship that this has with food, which is really satisfying for me, bringing together in one place several aspects that call my attention and that give me the possibility of generating a change in many people.
