Our food should be our medicine and our medicine should be our food – Hippocrates
Good nutrition is an important part of leading a healthy lifestyle. Combined with physical activity, a healthy diet can help one to reach and maintain a healthy weight, reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer, and promote overall health. Nutrition is the most commonly spoken topic as far as health is concerned, thus, one should keenly focus on the importance of nutrition, types of nutrition, diet and nutrition myths, what to eat, what not to eat, and nutrition supplements.
