My passion is Nutrition. I am fascinated by the human body and how nutrients are involved in every single cellular reaction. Carbohydrates, proteins and fats provide the energy fuel and building material while vitamins and minerals function as regulatory agents. Proper nutrition is not an option. Its a requirement.
Food becomes so much more sacred and meaningful when you finally recognize that we truly eat to live. It becomes easier to choose a salad over a slice of pizza when you really understand how much good is in that bowl and how much you'd be missing out by eating the slice of pizza instead. This is, in essence, learning to make the right food choices because YOU WANT TO and not because the other choice is bad; ie pizza will make you fat or because pizza is unhealthy.
