We were looking at mainly metabolic influencers, hormone balancing, inflammation reducing foods in very specific super powerful combinations. 🍴We are bombarded everyday with what we should & shouldn't be eating & this rarely takes into account all of the factors involved in our choice of food to hand or what we need as individuals at a specific time of our lives. πŸ…Understanding nutrition is crucial for maintaining good health because the food we consume provides essential nutrients that our bodies need to function properly. Additionally, knowing about nutrition enables us to make informed choices about our diets, leading to better overall well-being and longevity.  🌢Nutritional needs vary with age, country, and lifestyle due to factors such as physiological changes, cultural differences in dietary practices, and activity levels...here's some examples. 1. **Age:**...
