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 .
