The importance of basic biology as common knowledge

Seeing as the US has hit over 200K deaths from COVID, I’m leaning towards the importance of basic biology. Earlier this year, it seemed that the nation was torn on their decision to wear a mask. But before that, many did not think that the virus would spread like it has. In my presentation, I will explain how ridiculous those thoughts were with facts and paralleled events as one of the first reason why basic biology should be common knowledge.

On the other hand, gut health is extremely important too. Most people aren’t aware, but our mental state is highly dependent on our gut health. Various hormones control your moods, and the hormones are controlled by glands. Those glands are part of an interconnected web called your endocrine system. Your endocrine system is heavily influenced by the food you ingest and the microbes that already live in your stomach. These microbes are your gut flora and are very important, not just for your mental health, but your whole body including your immune system.

  1. Here are 5 potential topics that I would be interested in using for my Informative Speech!!!
  2. Impact of food consumption on the health of a human being
  3. The importance of sleep for every-day living
  4. Importance of a balanced diet
  5. How and why exercise benefits your mood
  6. The effect of the corona virus on the world's society as a whole

I also want to keep in mind when structuring this speech:

Who does your topic or issue affect?
Why is this topic important? What are the motives behind exploring it?
What is the most important point or viewpoint
Where is the topic located, or which areas of the world does it impact?
When did/does this topic occur? Is timeline an important factor?
