WHY IS NUTRITION IMPORTANT?

Unhealthy eating habits have contributed greatly to the

obesity epidemic. Good nutrition, combined with physical

activity is the crucial step to leading to a healthy

lifestyle. Your food choices have a much greater impact

on you than you can imagine from how you will feel

today, tomorrow to your physical and inner health in the

future. Furthermore, it is a common issue that although

certain people have a healthy weight, they often are

associated with poor diet( self starving, high

consumption of junk or processed food, etc.), which may

lead to major health risks than could cause illness or

even death. By making smart food choices a good diet will

help you maintain a healthy weight, reduce chances of

you getting any chronic diseases and promote overall

health.
