What is Nutrition?

According to dictionary.com, nutrition is

  • the act or process of nourishing or of being nourished.
  • the science or study of, or a course of study in, nutrition, especially of humans.
  • the process by which organisms take in and utilize food material.
  • food; nutriment.
  • the pursuit of this science as an occupation or profession.

With that being said, nutrition is a huge part of our lives.

Believe it or not, poor nutrition actually does have a negative toll on our lives. Poor eating habits (under eating, taco bell every day, cupcakes for breakfast) can lead to stress, tiredness, unwanted breakouts, long-term illnesses, mental health issues and many more things. Making good, nutritious choices is not always easy, especially for college students. I am a college student, and I can confidently say that we have the worst nutrition. I am also from Mississippi, and we have the second highest obesity rate in the country, and the highest obesity rate for youth ages 10 to 17.

The cause of the up rise of health issues in Mississippi is the lack of nutritional education. So, I am here to show you how to change nutrition in yours and others lives by some healthy recipes, good diet plans, nutritional facts, and much more. I hope you follow me on this journey through a fun, NUTRITIONAL blog!
