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 .
