The food we choose to eat to nourish our body is influenced by a colossal number factors. These may be external influences, such as the fast food outlets surrounding us, or internal, such as our life-stage. To make it even more complex, research on the nutrition-health relationship is forever evolving. However one thing is unchanging: nutrition advice should be personalised to suit your individual needs. For reliable and personalised dietary advice, seek the guidance of a registered dietitian in your area.
