Nutrition and Diets. Perhaps, the 21st century’s most overused but under-understood terms.
Previously as simple as a plate of grains, meat, dairy, veg – food and nutrition has now been revolutionized as an ergogenic, socio-economic symbol often used to keep up with “trends” as opposed to being consumed for its real function.
So, then what is nutrition?
Scientifically, nutrition is the life science of understanding how basic elements constitute our food, impact the body for betterment and functioning. But in reality, the food we eat goes beyond just fueling the body. It plays vital roles in genetic expression, immunity while being psychologically crucial as a mood uplifter and balancer.
Recent times, however, have seen a rather disturbing fact- The very food we’ve been told will make us happy, healthy, and fulfilled started making us fall sick. The processed sugars, additives and fats that were once celebrated as revolutionary are now linked to obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
Enter the diet fads.
At first, it’s the low-fat revolution of the ’80s and ’90s—an attempt to “fix” the problem by cutting out fats. But by the time everyone’s swapping butter or margarine, a new twist emerges. The Atkins diet, the Mediterranean diet, the raw food movement—they all promise different things. They offer hope, but they also confuse. For every expert who swears by one approach, another pops up insisting that a completely different path is the only way to go.
In this whirlwind of diets, one thing becomes clear: it’s not just about what we eat, but how we think about food. Is it nourishment? Or is it a guilty pleasure? Is it a necessary commodity? Or is it a luxury to savor? The human relationship with food is no longer simple, and the consequences are becoming more apparent by the day.
And that brings us to the closing end of the circle- if there is anything that the last decade (particularly the Corona Virus and illness epidemics) taught us, it is that fundamentally- Food is perhaps the only medicine that our body requires ever. Its secret lies in eating natural, nourishing, nutrient dense food that is grown with the right intentions and consumed even more so rightly. The food that we eat functions like a bank account- healthy food choices are the deposits that work like a long-term health, while unhealthy food choices cause withdrawals that deplete your overall well-being.
At Nutri with Ti, that is our core belief. Naturally fueling your nourishment, with nature’s nurturing ingredients. Your kitchen contains all the keys to unlock everything that your body requires not only to grow, but to grow and sustain well. Fundamentally- at the end, we wish to help individuals build a happier healthier lifestyle that is sustained through your life cycle.
If this resonated with you- we’d love to see you as a part of our Nutri with Ti family.
We look forward to not only decluttering a lot of the nutrition mess in present days (to the best of our capabilities!) but also nudging you to explore your pantries and kitchen with some nutritious and delicious recipes and other fun activities.
Here’s to a Happier, Healthier you!
