Walking around in nature is one of the best remedies. It offers a secrets to a healthy life like sunlight and fresh air.
We woke up early today and decided to have a walk as a morning exercise. I planned for a different route but my son wanted to walk going to his cousin.
We are living here in Polomolok, South Cotabato where Dole Philippines Inc. has a vast pineapple plantation in this province. Dole is providing fresh and processed pineapple usually for export market.
Our place is like an island not surrounded by water but by pineapples. You can see pineapple plantation everywhere, when you go north, south, east or west you can always find a pineapple field.
These pineapples helps a lot in the community because most people in this area are working in Dole. Population in the Municipality of Polomolok is increasing because many people from nearby places or provinces are going here to apply for a job. Dole can offer a lot of job not just for industrial but most above all in agricultural.
We leave home around 5:50am and started a walk. The sun is rising and shining already giving us a dose of natural vitamin D.
Sunlight is one of the best secret to a healthy life. Just spend sometime under the sun early in the morning and you can have the best yet free vitamin D.
I always have my son as my walking buddy. Good thing he always go with me. He always choose to walk with me than to stay in bed. He loves posing in pictures so when I say that I will took a picture of him, he is always on the go.
Another wonderful thing to see everyday here in our place is the Mt. Matutum. It is the highest point in the province of South Cotabato, Philippines. It is located in Tupi, a next municipality from Polomolok.
Sometimes it is covered with clouds but fortunately it is so visible this morning giving us a wonderful view to look at. Looking unto it will relaxes your eyes and even your mind.
As requested, we headed to my sister in law's house so my son could see his cousin. They were shocked because we were there so early and I told them that we had our walking exercise.
My son and his cousin play for a while and my sister in law invited us for breakfast and we cannot say no. After almost two hours of being there, we also bid goodbye and have our walk back home.
We passed by another road and back to the pineapple field again. This time, the sun is up and making the surroundings more bright. The vast pineapple field gives us its green color and the sky in its clear blue. Looking this will make you relax for a while. Look a far, look around and have some fun.
My son walks fast this time might be because he can feel the heat of the sun. But before we directly went home, I requested him to take a picture of me. See, he could now take pictures for me.
Walking with someone dear to you is special and walking in nature under the morning sunshine is beneficial.
That's our early morning walking exercise in the pineapple field for this #WednesdayWalk. Thank you so much 
Thank you so much for reading. I hope you enjoyed walking with me virtually.
