Beyond the Taste: How Our Everyday Food Silently Shapes Our Health

Our body reflects what we eat and choose on a daily basis. Our regular diet shapes our inner health and builds the foundation for our future well-being. If we continue to eat healthy and nutritious food daily, our body will build immunity, maintain hormonal balance, and achieve mental stability using the nutrients from that input.

On the other hand, we will manifest bone loss, heart disease, hormonal imbalance, or even infertility if we continue eating oily, fatty, or sugar-laden foods. Essentially, our eating habits form a slow cycle that either builds or breaks our body. According to experts, our bodies are not capable of creating nutrients on their own; they only process the nutrients we provide, transforming food into energy and building cells. This means our daily food choices literally determine the quality of our lives. Physical growth, health, and even mental peace are deeply tied to our eating habits.

A balanced diet that includes sufficient fruits and vegetables is essential for optimal growth, strength, and overall health. These foods contain vital nutrients. For example, 100 grams of carrots are mostly water and carbohydrates, with fiber and little fat—showing how important regular fruit and vegetable intake is.  

Between 2004 and 2005, the UK's Food Standards Agency (FSA) introduced the concept of "HFSS", which stands for high in fat, sugar, or salt. The main purpose of this classification was to highlight that foods containing excessive amounts of fat, sugar, or salt can be detrimental to health. Nutrition experts emphasize that neither completely avoiding nor over-consuming any single nutrient is beneficial; instead, maintaining a balanced intake of the three key macronutrients — carbohydrates, proteins, and fats — is crucial for good health.

Fruits and vegetables are nutritional powerhouses, but children often reject them due to taste. Encouraging kids to eat these healthy foods can be a challenge, despite their health benefits.

While children often refuse to eat vegetables, they eagerly consume junk food. Nearly half of Bangladeshi children avoid vegetables, preferring visually appealing but less healthy options, harming their health.

More children experience weak eyesight, muscles, and bones due to a lack of fruit and vegetables. Poor dietary habits also affect reproductive and newborn health, showing the critical impact of nutrition.
