Nutrition!!Boom the moment we hear of this word what hits our minds is food,food food and guess what we are all right.But here is the controversy,do you know there is good nutrition and bad nutrition?Well stick around as we unravel the mystery behind how different nutrition formats or styles may impact your life either positively or Negatively.

What and how we eat or even what we eat is dependent on a number of factors which i may say are either genetical, behavioural or environmental.If say we consider environmental factors,some of us will prefer to take fast foods or junk because certain foods cannot grow in their geographical area therefore the only way to feed themselves is to feed on a substitute of the same product in a processed manner.A good example is taking dried fruits like mangoes that have been imported say to America from Kenya Ukambani.Genetical factors come in when an individual inherits eating habits from their parent or a specific love for certain foods,that is brought about by the cravings had by the mother during pregnancy.For example you will find a child has a very high liking of smokies and when trying to understand why,you realise the mother had this crazy craving of smokies during pregnancy.However,food is for the stomach and stomach for the food.Take responsibility over whatever goes into your mouth.Let not what you take in be as sweet as honey but the aftermath as bitter as gal.Remember you only live once!!
